old; but 1t would require the pen of the
illustrious TWAIN to relate them with ap-
propriatc gravity. The Cincinnati Com
mcrcidl, however, moved by the gay and
level-headcd field marshal, MURAT HAL
STEAD, evidently appreciates the subject,
and has done something TO preserve the
materials. Its account of the reception of
the Nations Dead Head by Sunday
School Convention Mt Cbautauqua Lake is,
to say little, most touching and inter
esting recital.
AT . o'clock the seats Of the great audi
forum, holding about four thousand pco-
pie, were nlled,' aud everything was in
readiness for the good mans reception.
These four thousand, however, were chosen
spirits, and "belongcd in, ;" DR.. VINCENT hav-
ing announced that no "crowds" would be
allowed to disturb the sweet silence OF that
Sabbath day, nor would anybody be adj
mttcd but the elect with coupon tickets"
and sober vsages. No unhallowed steam
boat should be permitted to land at the
sacred point, nor would the wordlv-mind,
ed be suffered to sneak In even nj the
pack gate from those wicked Sunday
excursion trains and carriages. DR.. VIM
CENT was sternly determined that the
broodiug calm of that precious Sabbath
should not be disturbed; cit was a hol-
day, and the President had chosen 70 no
with us on that day in order To eniov its
quiet and rest with us" B.tbv4 o,cloclx
the number of the sar. "a had increased TO

, At this time Dir. VINCENT addressed
them "a few burning words" on 81 the
importance Of a like earnest preparation
| to welcome the coming of the King of
| Kings" from which II appears that the
excellent Doctor intends to issue coupon
tickets for that great occasion also, and to
sec that the crowd is not inoonveniently
large. In response to the Doctors touch
ing appeal, the choir sang Almost per-
suaded," and everything had settled down
to the blessed sabbath quiet, so dear to
the Doctors heart-so calm and stil in
deed that penitent's tear might have
been heard to drop, when mighty up
roar of steam whis Ties and bells announced
the landing Of "a steamboat, aud n few mo-
ments later our dovout President walked
into the midst of the solemn assembly
preceded by the Mayville brass band, and
followed by large retinue Of Washington
ofliceholders and contractors. Spon-
taneous cheers" greeted him. and when he
stood up on the platform redolent with
the recolections of last nights cigars and
the mornings cocktails, anu said that VIM
CENT could speak better than he could,
tine el,;,i1s,asm became ,rrciTesslbIc' and
three additional and louder cheers shook
the roof of the sanctuary.
Thereupon the Rev. Or. FOWLER rose
and delivered an address of welcor,. II
