One Of the vocal numbers rendered upon this
occasion was written by Herbert A. Preston,
then Of the New York Herald and father Of the
genial superintendent of the Senate press GAL
lery, James d. Preston.
It was entitled Grand Hymnus, the music
being written by Prof. Mueller and the orcfes-
trail parts arranged by Prof. Louis Schneider
Of the Marine Band. The first two stanzas
follow:
Hail, Legion of Heroes, with mighty acclaini
Attention battahonsl In phalanx proclaim
How Peace twines with Honor DER victors re-
nown
The olive and laurel our Cheftain's great
crown.
Unfurl all thy bannersl Once more let the air
Resound with the drum and the trumpets
deep blare;
But not with the cangor of wars wild alarms
As when thro' the land rang the outcry TO
armsl
For strife is at end; it was God sheathed the
sword.
