Concord tomorrow morning. There will
be considerable show of milf
tary glitter and circumstances cutie
in contrast with the equipments OF tho earn
est and brave rustics who made the place
and the day memorable century ago. The
Boston Globe one day last week gave an in
terestinG statement OF the points of special
interest, ana the landmarks which yet re-
main as witnesses OF tho first battle of blood
of the revolution. Several cid buildings
stand as they did on April 10, ITO. One is
mentioned, the old Munroe Tavern at Lex
ington, in which the regulars on their return
dispirited and chagrlned, drank up the
liquors and then shot the old man Raymond,
who kept the house, dead. A bullet hole is
still shown in the ceiling, supposed TO have
been made by a random or accidental dis
charge of a gun. Along this remarkable
old road, and amid these birth scenes
of free republic many noted men
have established themselves, families
who perpetuats from their ancestors the
the odor of the revolutionary patriotism
which is presumed 10 be of little finer quail
ity than any ever developed before or since
in human hosoms. Mr.. Ralph Waldo JIm-
erscn. grandson OF the Rev. William Emer-
son, holds his quiet castle in one Of the old
monumental buildings of centennial dig
nifty. The Hawthorne, Alcott and Ripley
residencea are objects OF interest still pre-
served. The very places win be marked and
pointed out where the troops were disposed
and such portions Of the tight as were
worthy the name of battle took place. 1t
is not unlikely that the proceedings OF the
next twelve months will cause lively
brushing up by young America of his knowl-
edge of these and the related events down
10 July 4, l776. The celebration to take
place tomorrow may be regarded as the
opening OF the centennial anniversary OBJ
servances, which will go on until the crown
ing display and ceremonies of next year at
Philadelphia.

Centennial odors already begin to be
waited upon the breeze. The supreme
event which marks the hundredth birthday
of the nation is yet more than twelve
month in the future. But the preliminary
events which led to the grand climax of in
dependent nationality are some of them
scarcely of seco ndary interest. 1t is some
times the case that the opening act of play
thrills and elevates by the first stroke of it's
novelty or brillisnce, quite as much as the
grander heights of play and pas
sion to which the spectator has been led
by gradual approaches. The attack on
Fort Sumter and the surrender OF that pile
of brick was comparatively trivial affair,
but it is not possible to make it so appear to
the American eye. 1t awoke such thrill as
can never be forgotten. So the first battle
of the revolution, which took plack at Lex
ington aud along the old Concord road just
100 years ago tomorrow, is ever regarded as
only second in dramatic and historical in
terest to the act of independence itself.
The anniversary really begins to-
day, as on the afternoon of the
18th of April the British red coats marched
out from Cambridge on the road towards
Concord, naughty and contemptuous of the
unmilitary colonists. On the 18th the min
ute men, with their smooth bore muskets
and flint locks, scantily furnished with am
munition, the bullets for deadly use having
in some instances been cast during the night
from pewter kitchen utensils, began TO
gather on the TANKS of the royal troops
and to FIRE into their ranks from
fence corners, rocks and stumps,
making the travelling extremely
disagreesble. The partial success of the day
in driving the Britishers back into Boston
with loss and vexstious defeat, was the key
note of success. 1t demonstrated that these
renowned professional warriors we're not in
vincible, that a hole made in them by q
pewter bullet, had fatal effect on them the
same as on other nortals, and that uni
formed soldiers would run rather than be
killed. Such an elevation of fighting cour-
age was probably never before de-
veloped in one days work. But
the history is familiar. The Boston
people do not let the memorable event pass
unnoted. Their centennial is to be cele-
brsted with becoming ceremonies to-mor
row. To give due significance to the occa-
sion the great general of the last war and
president of the independent nation has
gone down to the club" with the most OF
his cabinet. They 60 tonight over the his
toric road, to be ready for the celebration at

The Cincinnati Gazette announces that
Delano is about TO retire from the interior
department. The Gazette calls with petit
his place of some man who will give
strength and character to the cabinet. The
Commercial has nothing about Delano, but
disposes of Williams in Washington dis
patch. It would be, perhaps, asking too
much to hope that both rumors are founded
on fact.

The second and main part Of the annual
report of the State Board of Agriculture
was issued Monday and will be duly dis
tributed by the secretary 10 the coun-
ties of the state. The volume is not
large one, 500 pages, the object
of the secretary being to con-
dense the information worthy of preser-
walton rather than to initiate a large volume
with indifferent matter, or with material
which had no business in the report, how
ever good it might be. In one respect the
report fulfills its legitimate purpose. IL
presents in compact and permanent form, for
reference, the organized operations OF the
agricultural and industrial societies OF the
state for the year 1874. The history OF the
State Board for the year, the state fair
and exposition, the Purdue University,
the county fairs and societies, the shorthOrn
breeders convention, and the essays on
agricultural topics presented at the annual
meeting constitute the body OF the report,
and are faithful record of the isrm inter
ests as publicly presented in the state.
There are a few tables of interest and
value, especially one showing the re-
with that of 1852. Four state fairs
were held away from the capital in
the cities of Lafayette, Madison, New Al
bany and Fort Wayne. In 1861, when the
harvest of death was substituted for the har-
vests of the farm, and mon were tar away
from their homes and hearths, Indiana held
no state fair, and but few county fairs. From
that time, especially since the war was over,
the success of the fairs has been a
constantly ascending scale. The last two
years have tar surpassed all others,
showing receipts of $4,000 in round
numbers against less than $1,000 at the first
fair. In respect to the agricultural statistics
of the state, and reflex of the status Of
farming in Indiana, the report falls short OF
what it might be desirable to the state to
give in this form. 1t is the loss of a good
opportunity to represent abroad the truth
in regard to the resources of Indiana. IT there
the secretary, and probably not wholly of
the society, but OF the legislature, which has
thus far failed to take such action as is
necessary to supply the information. Stats
tics can not be obtained without the require
ment of law or the free expenditure OF
money. AS it is, neither the returns to the
state auditor nor of the county societies fur
nish anything like tull and accurate statis-
tics, such as would be of immense value
in the agricultural report which is the pro-
per place for their presentation. With this
exception the report contains such informa
ton as will be of permanent value in a very
presentable form. Secretary Heron has
taken the utmost pains to make it accurate,
and TO give the most information
possible in the least space. The indi-
vidual report of each officer and committee
of the exposition is given showing the fnan-
cial results of that enterprise. The pros
pect for the next exposition and fair is far
more flattering than st the corresponding
date in either CT the preceding two years.

ect of GounOd's charming opera. "Me-
phistopheles-the evil spirit OF eternal
negatiOn-fOrms a compact with DR..
Faust, giving him youth, riches and
pleasure in exchange for his poor soul.
He introduces Faust into lively COM
pany Of German students in Auerbach's
wine cellar st Leipzig. Both being well
received by the students, Mephisto pro-
poses to treat the jolly crowd with wine
from his own cellars, whereto the stu
dents eagerly agree. MephistO procures
q gimlet and bOres holes into the tOE-
board Of the table, from which flows the
most delicious wine. The Students
who psrtake rather too freely Of the dew
il's vintage, becoming rather insulting
against the two strangers, Mephisto
transforms the wine into liquid fire to
the great horror and CONSERVATION Of the
students. This moment is the one chosen
and admirably rendered by the ar
fist. From the center Of theI table
the flame eXplOdes, around which the
students form magnificent and telling
grOupe, while MephistO, with satanic
smile, enjoys the result of his devilish
joke. To highten the effect, Mr.. Arnold
has chosen for the students the portraits
Of our leading saloon-keepers, executed
in excellent style, and easily to be re-
cOgnized. The painting will be on ex-
hibitiOn next week in one OF our leading

June |, 1875 Your letter was forwarded

General Sherman's book, but / have
read extracts from it and various notices
of il, among them the Herald'S review.
The peculiarities Of the author are suffi-
GENTLY marked to give assurance that IS
often as he speaks there will be abundant
room for criticism; so much, in fact, as
almost to beWilder criticism. l do not
know what amount of attention his re-
cent work bestOws on my acts. What
have seen on that subject relates to the
battle Of Shiloh, and is, in substance,
only q continuation Of his former efforts
to cOncsal the faults and misrepresent
the facts of that battle. l long ago an
sWered his assertions concerning that
event with evidence that must,
I believe, be deemed conclusive
when the account comes to be bal
anced. l concur in your view that it is
desirable that those who had any promi-
nent part in the war should now put on
record their "reminiscences in regard to
it, and it is probable that General Sher-
mans example may stimulate that OBJ
ject. Much trashy matter will no doubt
be thrust into print, but it will not be
without interest to the public, and from
the mass some useful material will be
found for history. 1t will not be without
value if it does no more than give some
new insight to the qualities of the writ
ers themselves. II could feel sure that
might be one of the useful contrib
utors, 1 have at this moment scarcely
time to undertake the work. I must, at

Tore shall pine to stray tout on the

l did. The sight of the specifics, help
less creatures, fettered and then goaded
long past endurance, as they drag dying
under their loads and lsshes, is a sight
to behold involuntarily once, and there
after avoid. Oh for one rousing clarion
note that could wake the echoes among
the bluffs and forests along the "Father
Of Waters" all the way from this city to
