Tue WASHINGTON ORPHAN ASYLUM—DLay- TNG OF THE CORNER STONE OF THE NEW Buitpine.—Yesterday afternoon the interest- ing ceremonies of laying the corner stone of the new building intended for the Washington Orphan Asylum, at the corner of Hth street west and S street north, took place in the pres- ence of a large number of citizens. The Grand Lodge of Masons, who performed the cere- mony, assembled at the hall, corner of 9th and D streets. and, under the escort of Washington and Columbian Commanderies of Knights Templar, marched up 9th street to the Asylum on Hestreet, where trustees, building commit- tee, Indy managers, and the seyenty children of the Asylum (many of the latter carrying Miniature flags, with mottoes, &c.) formed, and under the marshalship of Mr. N. D. Larner, the procession, headed by the Marine Band, proceeded to the ground selected, where the exercises took place in the presence of a large crowd of citizens. There was quite a number of ministers present, nearly every denomina- tion being represented, and a number of mem- bers of the City Government. On arriving on the ground, the Grand Mas- ter of Masons, G. CU. Whiting, Esq., commenced the ceremonies by stating that the building, the corner stone of which they had assembled to consecrate, was to be devoted to the practical exemplification of one of the tenets of Masonry. Dr. Murdy offered a solemn prayer, which was followed by the Masons singing the Masonic song “Placed in Form the Corner Stone.” The subordinate officers were then catechised by the Grand Master, and finding them skilled in the art, he proceeded to finish the work, ap- plying to the stone the plumb, square and devel. Tbe Grand Treasurer, C. Cammack, Sr., i in the stone, which was presented by Yles-r=. Provost, Winter & Co., reports of the Asylum, constitution and by-laws, act of in- corporation, of officers and managers of the Asylum, constitution and proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Masons, and the letter of President Jonnson The corn, wine and oil were poured on the stone, the first by Deputy Grand Master R. B. Donaldson, the second by Senior Grand Warden, W. E. Hutchinson, and the third by Junior Grand Warden T. B. Camphe The Grand Master explained the fignifice nce of the corn, wine and oil, and said: “As Grand Master of Masons in the Districtof Columbia, 1 pronounce this corner stone of the Washington City Orphan Asylum to be duly laid, square, level, and plumb, and sincerely hope that the workmen may not be hindered in their labors, but that the cap-stone may soon be Iaid in its place, under circumstances as joyous as the present seems to be auspicious.” He concluded by enjoining on the fraternity the duty of contributing to the work. The Masonic ceremonies were concluded by singing the ode commencing “Brothers, ere to- nigh we part.” Re. Dr. Gurley presided at the general ex- ercises, and made the following statement: The ground on which the asylum is erected— being the northwest quarter of square 2%, valued at $10,000—is a donation from William W. Corcoran, of the city of Washington, who for a quarter of a century has essentially aided the establisment by personal services, frequent donations of money, &c., and materially aided its pecuniary resources by advice and counsel in the management of its real estate, and has deen from its origin, and still continues to be, one of its most firm, constant, and liberal friends. Dr. Gurley read a letter from Past Grand Sire W. W. Moore, on the part of the Odd Fel- lows, regretting the inability of the order to attend, and one from Mayor allach, expres- sing his inability to be present on account of he being engaged in the distribution of premi- ums to the scholars of the Fourth District schools. Dr. Gurley also read the following letter trom President Johnson, the original copy of which was deposited in the corner-stone: — EXecuTIvVE MANSION, Wasuineton, July 13, 1965. Mrs. J. P. Lee, First Directress Washington City P stant Orphan Asylum : Drar Manpam: I had hoped that I might be able to accept your kind invitation and attend the lnying of the corner-stone of your new building, but my official duties wiil prevent. I beg you to convey to the ladies of your as- the assurance of my deep interest in athy with their work: and to the your charge I desire to express iy 8y thy with them at the g loss which they have suffered in being deprived of the cure and affection of parents. Thrown so early, to a large extent, upon cheir own re- sources and efforts, they shonld feel their need of education, industrious and virtuons habit: and should look to Him who is a Father to the fatherless, Lam, madam. truly your friend, ANDREW JOHNSON. Seerctary Harlan was called upon for a speech, and during his remarks related an in- eident in lis life oceurring on the plains in tie West, going to show the unwillingness of the elk to abandon a wounded companion toi fate, and remarked that it is also said by h ers that when a herd of buffaloes are assailed by an enemy, man or beast, they fly from their pursuers in the order of the old, strong ones in tront, in rear, and on the flanks, with the small and feeble im the center. Thus it seems that God bad written it as a Jaw in the instincts of wild beasts, that the strong shall protect the weak. «These impulses,” said Mr. Harlan, “are not unfrequently embodied into a kin2 of national sentiment, sothata thrill of deligut is expe- rienced by a whole people when they behold a strong, powerful nation shielding a feeble one from oppression. Thus when Russia, now the friend of this Republic, attempted to crush the less powerful Turks, we, in our hearts, con- demred the Russian: and when the French, not now so friendly to our prosperity, sprang to arins in the defence of the Turkish nation- ality, we all applauded; but when they at- tempt to crush feeble Mexico, we despise their want of generous gallantry, and wish it might be the will of God in the order of His provi- dence that this great Republic of ours shonld be calied upon to protect her feeble sister re- public. {Applause.] “So here, the benevolent order now laying the foundation of this -nstitution asa shelter and home for fatherles; and motherless chil- dren is responding to tht law of God as writ- ten on thé animate creation, in the hearts of Christian men, in the sentiment of great and gallant nations, is approved by the angels look- ing down from their peaceful abodes and will be blessed Ly Heayen’s King.” After singing by the orphans, which was an attractive feature of the occasion, the ceremo- nies were concluded by a fervent and app: priate prayer by Rey. Dr. Gillette, of the Thir- teen street Baptist Church. paseo VELA Dist ninuTiIon oF PREMIUMS—Speech by Sec- retary Horlan.—The exercises of distributing premiums to the meritorious pupils of the 4th Jistrict Schools, at the Foundr. A. E. Church yesterday, were rendered quite interesting by the presence and remarks of the Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Harlan. After prayer by Key. W. Hamilton, Mayor Wallach introduced the speaker, Mr. Harlan, who commenced by expressing his regret that his duties in the De- partment had kept him so occupied as to pre- vent him from giving much thought to matters of interest to those present, and first directed bis remarks to parents and citizens, impressing upon them that they were responsible for the character of the men and women of the next generation, and that it is their province to de- velop the children’s physical, mental, moral, and religions character.” He then proceeded in a most juteresting manner to urce the import- ance of encouraging the public schools, not only by money, but by the presence of our best citizens and their children, and after addressing the children at length on the advantages of edu- cation, concluded t ng that if the city an- thorities continued as they had in the extension of school facilities, he did not think there would be much trouble in getting aid from the National Government. He should notbe at all surprised if Congress Was appealed to, that it would ap- propriate the necessary fund to build all the school houses required,ind support the schools. This subject had previously been favorably considered im Congress, parucalarty in view ot the fuct that much property in Washington is able by the ¢.t. authorities. and that the ation js of such & tran: racter; her Congress €id se ay. chaige should not change, I their duties in this respect. ave the model schools for all not be compelled to if the provine«=.
