The band stand - the center Of observation.
For the last few years the stand Is much nearer
the mansion than II used to BE- years ago, when
the balcony audience was not 80 large. Then
the green and white circular stand was situated
about midway between the hills at the lower
part Of tie grounds near the walk. The crowd
used tn gather three OF four deep in
a wall all around the band. and

Oh, let the breeze Of morn be fraught
With melodies Of softest strain

To raise the spell Of rapturcs reign

Without care or thought OF pain,

To happiness and hope again.
For when the waves of ether roll

They raise q thrill within my soul
That Ills my heart and makes me free
From tiresome meditation's fret

Obscuring wells Of LIES regret
And think Of beauty, Joy and love.
Then tune your warbling throaS to Joy
Let every pleasing sonsster sing
His sweetest carol and enjoy
The blending ditfies q they ring
And make the ripping pleasures roll
In every soul that hears your lay
III rapture has complete control
And rolls the stone OF care away
From each and every troubled soul

Shave you any knowledge az to how Mr..
Lincoln felt toward officers Of the army and
navy and citizens generally at that time who
were wayering in their allegiance to the gov
ernmentI"
II am glad you asked that question, because
It affords an opportunity for showing how
| keenly alive Mr.. Gincoln's mind was to NIL the
intricacles and embarrassments OF the situation
and how wisely he dealt with them. Now, 1
| happen to know that Mr.. Lincoln did not share
in the widespread condemnation of those men
in the loyal states to judge them hnrshly, and
az history finally will the influences that pre-
cipitated the rebellion were not entirely nor
| wholly due to tho ''hotspurs' OF the south, but
to very large extent to the weakness and
pusilanmity of the sclosing hours Of Mr.
| Buchanan's administration. Ii you will rcmem-
Der, MIR. Buchanan was advised by his then
Attorney General, Judge Black, and the balance
of his cabinet, that there was no power under
the Constitution by which the governments
could coerce state. As you can we'll imagine.
such heresy might we'll have staggered the
allegiance OF any southern man, aud where a
doubt Of this kind could find the least justiHca-
ton under the law, naturally the feelings Of
the man or woman would turn to their state
| and they would prefer to cast their fortunes
with 1t rather than with the government Mr.
| Lincoln understood this thoroughly, and I
remember q case that illustrates his magna-
nimity TO very remarkable extent
because IL was man1feeted ut time
when perhaps no other man would have
dared to exercise it, You may remember
that Gen. Lee, then captain in the regular
army, was sorely put as to whero his duty Law
His sense Of patriotism, as we'll as respect for
his oath, made him hesitate before he finally
decided what to do For many DAYS both the
President and Gen. Scott had every reason 10
believe that he would stand by the old flag, and
| so strong was this faith in the soldier that the
President sent his name TO the Senate for pro-
motion to coloneloy in the army, with Gen.
Lees full knowledge and consent, and think
TIE nomination was confirmed On this ram-
bling talk OF ours you must not be too exacting
as TO dates as, SO far, am only dealing With
general facts) Evidently, this news Of Capt
Lees promotion was carried across the lines.
Immediately following it delegation Of vir-
ginians appeared st Arlington for . Anal and
last appeal to him to join the confsderacy, aud,
II am not mistaken, this appeal was coupled
| with offer from the confederate government
| of full commandment Of its army Il he did 90.
Mr.. Lincoln was told at that hms these facts,
and that Lee was seen TO leave the city and 60

RIDGWAY GOING TOO FAR.
MAKING THE GRAND JURY A POLITICAL
CATS PAW.
THEY 1NpoRsE HIM FOR MAYOR IN BAREFAcED

THEY ENDORSE HIM FOR MAYOR IN A BAREFACED
AND SHAMEFUL WAY WHILE IN COURT.
The members of the september Grand jury who
were discharged yesterday after filing presentment
in the Court Of Sessions held political meeting after
ward. They organized by making the foreman, James
S. Knox chairman and then sent for Dsirict-Attorney
Ridgway, who had advised them In regard to their
duty as sworn officials of the law.
Tpon his appearance this extraordinary resolution,
viewed rs the action Of Grand Jury In relation TO inc
District Attorney, was offered and adopted:
In view of the fact that Mr.. James W. Ridgway Is
prominently mentioned candidate for Mayor 81 the
city of Brooklyn we, assembled here Irrespective OF
marty heartily ndorse him for that Important ONCE,
believing that he viii fill the position with credit 10
himself and honor to the community Fnhe 5n b
ability and courtesy with which he has conducted the
business before the Grand Jury Just discharged If re
should be nominated for Mayor OF this Guy we pledSo
him our hearty support.
Mr. Ridgway expressed his appreciation Of the
honor done him and pledged himself to do his duty in
whatever Office he called upon to fill.
Such barefaced manipulation Of the machinery
of the law for the Grand Jury is direct
adjunct Of the Court Of Sessions, was never
known before. A prominent citizen said Mr.. Ridg'
way must have lost mis- head in the excitement Of seek
ing nomination for an Office he Is conspichOusly unfit
to fill to prostitute the Grand Jury to such pur-
nose If he had been wise ie would not have thus
damaged his chances in case he IS nominated for Mayor
The presentment of the Grand Jury treated among
other affairs of the work on the County Farm at ST..
Johnland and Endorsed the elaborate report of the
February Grand Jury the subject As the result OF
three hours of examination of the work the Grand Jury
condemns the concrete used in the conduit as beng
only from two to four inches thick when it should be
six inches and declares 1t of inferior quality serious
discrepancy is also noted between the estimate OF
Supcrntending Engineer James F. Carey OF the amount
of work to be done in the conduit and the WORK pald
for and the recommendation is made that In view OF
the unfair character OF the work done and the material
used the county authorities are recommended not to
nav any more bills OF Contractor Brleit for work on
he conduit until conforms TO the specifications The
removal of encer Carey for ncompelency in passing
snrb work is al,O recommended. The presenment was
ordered on file in the Court Of Sessions.
