THE CENTENNIAL oANTATA.

THE following is the Cantata sung az the open
ing Of the Centennial Exposition. 1t was writ
ten by Mr.. Sidney Lanier. OF Georgia, and set TO
music by Mr.. Dudley Buck. of Connecticut IL is
entitled 1.-THE Centennial Meditation OF Colum-
bia":
From this hundred.terraced height
Sight more large with nobler light
Ranges down yon towering years:
Humber smiles and lordlier tcars
Shine and fall, shine and fall,
While old voices rise and call
Yondcr where the to-and-fro
Welterng OF my Long-Ago
Moves about the moyeless base
Far below my resiing-place.
MayHower, Maynower, slowly bither flying,
Trembling Westward o'er yon baking sea,
Hearts within FdrelUeH d6Gr England sighing,
Winds without BIT dear IN rain replying,
Grny.lipp'd waves about thee shouted, crying
No. II shall not be!
Jamestown. out of thee
Plymouth, thce--thee, Albany
Winter cries, Ye freeze. dtCdyI
Fever cries, Ys burn! array!
Hunger cries, Ye stdrre: array
Vengeance cries, Your Jrdres shdH stay!
Then old Shapes and Masks Of Thmos,
Framed like Faiths or clothed like Kings
Ghosts of Goods once heshed and fair,
Grown I. nj Bads in alien air
War and his most noisy lords,
Tongued with 1.-THE and poisoned swords-
Error, Terror, Rage and Crime,
All in a windy night Of time
Cried TO me from land and sea,
NO. Thou shat not De!
Hnrk!
Huguenots whispering yea in the dark,
Puritans answering pea in the dark
Yea, like arrow shot true TO bis marx
Darts through the tyrannous heart OF Denial
Patience and Labor and solemn-sOuled Trial,
Fooled, still beginning,
Soiled, but not shining,
Toll through the stertOrous death OF the Night,
Toll when wild brother.wars new dark the Light,
Tell, and forgive and kiss o'er, and repight.
Now Praise to Gods oft-granted grace,
Now Praise to Mans undaDnted tace,
Despite the land, despite the sea,
| was: am: and shall be-
How long, Good Angel, o how longl
Sing me from Heaven a mans own songl
Long as thine Art shall love true love,
Long as thy Science truth shall know,
Long as thine Eagle harms no Dove,
Long as thy Law by law shall grow,
Long as thy God is God above,
Thy brother every man below.
So long, dear Land of all my love,
Thy name shall shine, thy fame shall glow!'
Music, from this height Of time my Word un-
fold:
In thy large signals all mems hearts Mans Heart
behold:
Mid.heaven unroll thy chords friendly flags
unfurled,
And wave the worlds best lovers welcome to
the world.

Eg~ The message of President Grant,
sent to the House yesterday in response
to a resolution of inquiry as to the time
passed by the Executive outside of Wash
ington, was well-deserved and fitting
rebuke to the partisan spite and imperti-
nence which prompted the resolution Of
inquiry. Divested of its diplomatic and
dignified habiliments, and stripped down
TO the plain vernacular, the message
means ats none of your business, and
you were guilty of gross impudence in
making the inquiry" Much has been
said about the frequent absence of Presi-
dent Grant from the seat of Government,
and he has thought proper to furnish
some interesting information concerning
the customs and habits of his predecessors
in the matter, showing that his Admins
tratiOn will compare fayOrahly with those
Of all the earlier Presidents respecting the
average time of absence from the Nation
al Capital. .-Chicag0 Tribune,

AristOcratlc Coaching in New York.

TINS is the latest novelty, and, like all
novelties, in the beginning, it is well
patroniZed. Common people wonder
why man of the social standing and
wealth of Gen. Delaney Kane should be-
come stage-driver, and go to the eX-
pense of providing such an an outfit, mere
ly as personal pastime. But it is aptly
replied that that is his business, and it is
quite as honorable and praiseworthy as
yachting, hOrse-racing or other occupa-
tions which our wealthy blOods engage
in, and far better than spending money
upon wine and dissipation, as some do.
However, the coach is fixed fact, and il
is a novelty that has its fascination for the
public as we'll as for the fashionables
The coach starts punctually at ten, and
returns punctually at five, and the depart
ure and arrival are witnessed by large
crowds Of curious people, The singular
thing about the coach.riding is, that II is
only the outside seats which are cOnsid-
cred desirable, and, during the four days
the coach has run, every outside seat had
been held at premium, while those on
the inside have been at "a discount al
though finally occupied. II is now stated
that all the outside seats have been en-
gagged as late as June Is, but there are
plenty Of inside seats yet 20 be taken

-Brevity is lost art; but it is the
fault of time that writers Or speakers can
not be brief. There is too much to say,
because too many things have happened
since the world started. In the beg ginning
Adam and Eve could talk as concisely as
the Ten Commandments. There were no
old Greek frauds to quote from, no prece-
dents; no remembrance on the part OF
Adam of his mothers cooking. With the
first couple brevity was the soul and body
of wit, and there were no words to waste.

THE accounts generally of the opening
of the Centennial Exposition at Philadel-
phia represent that it was, in all respects,
magnificent affair, and that the Exhibi-
ton is equal to any Worlds Fair ever
held. The count Of the receipts and reg
listers of the gates show an attendance of
over 100000 on the grounds during the
opening day. The excitement and enthu-
siasm in Philadelphia continued on the
11th, and a continuous throng of visitors
attended the Exposition.

THE question of the admission of col

to representation, which had agitated the
South Carolina Diocese for two or three
years, was recently settled, after a warm
discussion in the Diocesan Convention at
Charleston by the rejection of the applica-
ton of st. Marks Church for admission.
A majority of clergy favored the applica-
tion, but it was rejected by the vote of the
lay delegates.
