It is well known that the “Christian Brothers” constitute one of the most usetul Orders of the Catholic Church, Their vows are to works of charity and education, especially among the poor. They have some of the best schools in this city, as they have all over the world, The “Brothers” in this clty will give twoy entertainments at Stein- way Hall during this week—one on Wednesday and one on Thursday. The leading teatures will be vocal and instrumental music by students trom diferent institutions Wnder the care of the “Bro- thers,” recitauions by students and graduates, and two addresses; the one on Weduesday to be by Assistant District Attorney Algernon 8. Sullivan, and Thursday evening by one of the clergymen drom St. Peter’s church, Tie proceeds of these entertainments will be tor the relief of the ‘Bro- thers,” who have suffered most severely during the war in France, where they gave themselves and all their means to works of charity and nurs.ng in the bospitals, The Baptist Union. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— All religious sects are subject to periodical visits of agitators and would-be reformers. Sometimes they have been regarded as a necessity to save the Church from the corrupting influences of the age; at other times their disturbances have been regarded as the outgrowth of their insubordination, while the “faithful? have generally looked upon them as thorns in the side of the Church, lest she ‘should be exalted avove measure.” Just now the Baptists seem to be the special subjects on whom these ‘disaffected’ are operating. If ‘smooth waters run deep,” then deep waters ought to run smooth, But deep as the Baptists have dug, their channel, so as to secure “much water,” Yet the stream seems to be capable of being greatly rufMied, at least on its surface. This denominauon— one of the largest in America—has always arrogated to itself the distinguished position of representing the Apostolic Church in the purity of its faith and practice. If we rightly interpret their journals the Vast majority of them are still unwilling to give up the position, As other sects claim the very same thing—an undisputed apostoiic succession—in some form or other, we can see no reason why the Baptists might not be allowed @ sunilar assumption. But there are not a few within her closely guarved walls Who seem to think otherwise. They demand that the Baptists shall only be considered one branch of the great Catholic Church, and that other branches shall be received and accepted as equally apostolic. ae also demand that tney shall be con- sidered none the less Baptists for holding these sentiments, The Baptist Union was established in this city at the beginning of this year as the or; o! these “liberals,” as they call themselves, and it promiecs to do good service for them. It seems to ably conducted, and among it contributors are able Baptists in England, such as Mr. Spurgeon and Dr. Brock. Whether the Baptists will consent to be legraded to the level of the sects,” as the estab- lishment in England would say, remains to be seen, Bat it seems from present indications that they will id evough to make & compromise with the 7 or tne Baptist Union will be a “thorn 1n their flesh’? which its promoters have neither the wish nor power to give them a suMiciency of grace to vear. The “Inquirer”? on the White Man aud the Negro. To Tur EpiTor OF THE HERALD :— Withoat encroaching too much upon the columns of your excellent journal or wearying your readers 1 would like to make the following statement in re- gard to the article written in reply to mine on the quesuon, “Had the White Man and the Negro a Com- mon Parentage?” by the “Inquirer,” and which ap- peared in your tssue of afew Sundays ago. In the article referred to no new arguments were brought forward im support of his view; but he contented himself by attempting to pass over mine on the ground that they were unsupported by authority; yet, strange to say, ne has failed to give any authority himself for the statements made by him, My object in this article is to show the position occupied by him and the unfairness of his arguments. In the first place, speaking of the effect of climate upon the Jews of Cochin, he says:—‘The Jews of Cochin may have been browned by the sun, 80 as to deceive a careless observer, but without amalga- mation the natural outline of their features would for- ever remain the same.” This instance of the effect of climate and other external causes upon a race, 13 quotea by Dr. Pritchard in his ‘Natural History of Mankind,’ who also states that in this case it was not the result of amalgamation; 80, until the writer proves that the learnea Doctor was a careless Observer, we can claim this as an authenticated in- stance. The writer also says that the Jews were not revented by their laws from intermarrying with Foreigners. iN Opposition to this | would refer him to Nehemiah xili., part of 25th Verse, where, speak- ing of foreigners, it says:—"Ye shail not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, nor for yourselves.” ‘The case of the West india sheep, the “Inquirer” thinks, if it proves anything, is, that the pegio ought to have his long, straignt hair instead of wool, without stopping here to prove whe- ther heat alone can turn woo! to hair, which I have never said, T would state that the writer has here lata himself open to the charge of gross ignorance, since we can fairly assume that ne supposes the hair of the negro to be woal, whereas bot Pritchard and Druper have shown that it is hair ip every sense of the word. | in regard to the color of the African the “Inquirer” has Changed hus ground, for he now at- tributes the negro’s ability to keep cool to the evapo- ration of perspiration, concerning which he sald not a word in his former article. We have shown in our former article that the mere fact of the negro's Diackness does notin the least degree lessen his warmth, but rather increases 1. This increase in warmth is, however, compensated for by the 1 crease in erase ton, and he is enabled to be as cool as he in that torrid citinate. If this design could be shown, as it cannot be— viz, that the African is Diack in order to keep cool in @ hot climate—how would the “Inquirer’’ account for the blackness of some of the inhabitants of the polar regions? If one case shows design surely there 1s @ great lack of it in the other, In regard to the portion of the Eastern Cen- tinent, now occupied by the Indian Ocean, not hav- ing been submerged since the close of the tertiary period, | would refer him fo pene 138 De la Beche’s “Geological Observer,” second euition; and further- more I have been unable to find his authority for the statement that it has been submerged since this period. Passing over the intermediate remarks of the writer I would come to his last argument against my theory, and say that he makes me argue that the North American Indians were created tn Ame- fica, whereas | believe tlat they came from Asia, #4 Go the vast maiority of sclenusts, In closing ‘We would say that we have given anthority for all our stuteme: can claim 8 Case of the chi ofa people by external circumstances, and have shown the author’s argument from color amounts to nothing. It seems inconssteat to believe that tie [hie ye J and bulidog, the Newfoundland and the airless dog of Guiana are the offspring of a com- mon parent, and deny it to man, who differs leas in physiological or anatomical structure. Whatever of reason there = be in some arguments in Javor of diversity of origin, there surely is none in those of the “Inquirer.” QUID EST VERITAS.

As an indicator—a fauthtul, watchful indicator of public opinion, of “coming events,” Changing circumstances and con- sequent Change of bases of operations—it is certainly most excelient, This it 18 able to be, as it is utterly fearless and free, being bound by no party politics, As @ censor or critic its independence 18 perfect and characteristic, A man or measure which may be useful at one period, and is, consequently, upheld, if they are no longer & benefit to the country, or if the man has not fulfilled the expectations entertained of him, the HERALD has not hesitated to do its best to overthrow the obnoxious man or measure. In literary criticism it has beea equally independent, As an educator it has been decidedly moral, conservative and con- sistent, And even when on the surface there has been tie sppearauce of frivolity or lightness there nas been the undercurrent of intelligent morality, and sometimes a still higher sentiment, as was 80 well expressed by the ‘Catholic Christian” ip the HERALD Of last Sunday or Monday. Beyond aj) this the HERALD Row stands forth as the religious ex- nent of the t:mes, and, besides the general mtel- igence on such matters, gives us the most remark- able sermons preached weekly in the country. But tn the presence of these noted sermons my “litule sermon’ must end, G. H. H. Thrée Reasons for Not Accepting the Bible as a Special Revelation from God to Man. To THE EpiTor oF THE HERALD:— First—It must be conceded that one man or one Woman 18 just as much the offspring or child of God, by nature, a8 another, and that if one needed a Special revelation all needed a special reveiation. And to give aspecial revelation to a mere fraction of the human race, leaving the great mass of man- kind to go to destrygtion, would be the very climax of injustice. The New ‘Testament nas been in the world from fifteen to sixteen hundred years, during which time not more than one im a hundred thou- sand have possessed it. Asto the Old Testament, there were but very iew copies in the world previous to the commencement of the Christian era (so called). Second—A written revelation to be interpreted re- quires an artificial accompiishment—namely, the art of reading. That hardly one in as many hundred thousand have possessed within the last thirty cen- vuries, Third—It 1s self-evident that a God of infinite wis- dom and justice would, if man had needed a special revelation, have one not dependent upon parch- ment, pens, ink and artificial accomplishments, that only the wealthy and lavored have possessed; but it would ve as plain as tae sun light, as {ree as the air to all nations, tongues and kiadreds, not likely to interpolations and mistrausiations, not requiring six or ¢ignt huge volumes of commentaries to peruse, and find yourself, as in the beginning, in utter darkness. Instead of being given to a small and obscure nation in a little corner of the earth and m one language it would have been given to alt nations and in all languages, Tustead of that huge and ponderous volume abounding in contradictions, and from which all manner of doctrines can be proved and disproved, and to make clear requires from £200 to £500 a year; instead of this, afew short and simple precepts be! Would be needed to%teach man his duties, ‘irst—To accept the Bible as a special revelation from God to man, we must believe that God 1s partial and unjust, unworthy the love and confi- dence of man, and can only be looked upon ‘as an infinite monster of cruelty and injustice. Second—That a sad want of wisdom would pe manifest in providing means to an end; that is, in eae. @ special revelation in such @ manner hat not one in & thousand would ever hear of, and not one in fifty thousand could ever read if they possessed it. Third—We should have to believe that God gave man a special revelation, not 4 abounding in con- tradictions, but in such an ambiguous and indefi- nite @ manner that it jeads its adnerents to slaugh- tering each other until millions of human lives had been sacrificed. JUNIUS, FORTY-FOURTH STREET SYNAGOGUE. The Story of Naamau’s Leprosy—The Char- acter Introduced—Sermon by Rev. S. M. Isaacs. A comparatively small congregation gathered in this synagogue yesterday morning, to whom the sanitary laws of Judaism were read, and subse- quenvly Rev. Mr. Isaacs preached a short discourse on the four characters introduced to us in the story of Naaman’s leprosy and cure, as found in 2 Kings, chapter v. The immediate text was the thirteenth verse—“‘And his (Naaman’s) servants came near and spake unto him and said, My father, ir the prophet had bid thee do some great thing wouldst thou not have done it? how much rather, then, when he saith to thee WASH AND BE CLEAN?’ The four characters introducedlin this narrative are ‘Naaman, a Jewish maiden, the Prophet Elisha and his servant, Gehazi. On three of them we can look with favor, but on the fourth with disgust. The first character we behold 1s Naaman, the captain of the host of the King of Syria—a great man with his master, and honorable, but he was a leper, shut out from the associations of home and from contact with his fellow men. Ali his glory seemed to have de- parted from him. He was wretched, and hardly knew what to ao. But inthis, his extremity, our second character appears, in the person of a little captive Jewish maiden, who had been brougnt into Syria and placed in Naaman’s fam- ily and waited upon his wife. She had heard of the sickness of Naaman, and in con- versation with her mistress recommended the great captain to go to Samaria, where the prophet of the Lord resided, who could recover hin of his leprosy. Here was an illustration, by this captive Jewish girl, of sanctifying the Lord, Women of Israel, exclaimed the rabbi, here you HAVE SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF. She did not say, “Let him hie; let him rot with his foul and hateful disease; he isthe enemy of my country and of my people.’ No; her sympatay and her faith overcame her prejudices, if sue had any such, and she showed him where he might find re- lief and heating. That poor littie girl, captive and alone, @ stranger in a strange land—the death of Naaman might have been her restoration to liberty and home; but yet she did what she could to save Mus life. Her recom. mendation came to the ears of Naaman, whose kin, sent a letter to the King of Israel, but without avail, The leper himseir must go to the prophet if he would be cured. Naaman di jay! Samaria; but notice now oat, disappointed was, He stood at the door of Elisha and waited for the man of God to come out to him, and stand, and call in the name of the Lord his God and strike his hand over the place and recover the leper. But Elisha did not even deign to see him. sent a messenger to tell the pny! chieftain that he should go and wash in Jor- jan seven times, and his flesh should return unto him and be clean? NAAMAN WENT AWAY IN A RAGE. muttering audibly to himself, “Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Humbug! I'll not go to Jordan and wash ther eseven times. I’ll go back again to my own land and never Lay put faith in Jewish maids or prophets.” Butas he went aloug muttering thus his servants came near, and, in the words of the text, said unto him:—“It the prophet had bid thee do some great thing would’st thou not have done it? How much rather, then, when ie saith unto thee wash, and be clean’? i ~~ But mark the beautiful spirit of Elisha. He did not refuse to serve this man because he was a heathen and an ene! vit het nim my to Israel. The prophet saw A MAN AND A BROTHER, and gave him such advice as, when taken, demon- strated that there was # prophet in israel—that there was @ baim in Gilead, and there the physician resided, And when Naaman came up out of the Joraan the seventh time, with his flesh restored like unto that of a little child, he and all his company re- turned unto the man of God rejoicing in the great change he had experienced, and recognizing the God of Elisha as the only uving and true Ged. And 80 far as we may infer frem the narrative he remained steadfast in this faith unto the end of his mortal life. In the exuberance of his Joy he pressed Elisha w a4) 4) & present, a blessing at hishand, But the Drophet steadily and veremptorily refused. Then came on the scene onr fourth character, Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, and a pic‘ure of and covetousness wi we cannot 100k without disgust. He said to himself, ‘My muster 18 S strange man to refuse thi Naaman; a3 Lord liveth 1 will take somewhat of him.” ht how much he might the Syrian captain in Israel's God by this act, or how mucn he was guilty of pro- faning the name of the Lord. And when be CAME BACK, LADEN WITH HIS PLUNDER, he led unto the prophet; but Elisha. knew exactly Where his servant had and he laid upon him the leprosy of Naamai Gehazi went out from his master’s presence a leper as white as snow. ‘There are in our age many Jews who by sin in the service of God are as lepers in His sight. ‘They are brought to the minister, but when he tells them to wash and be clean, to leave off their evil ways and to become meritorious, they laugh at him and ask 4f we expect them in this enlightened age to per- form divers ceremonies and to adhere to dietary regulations, Are not Abana and Pharpar, they say, as good for us as Jordan. To such he would say, m the language of his text, ‘If the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldst thou not have done 1t.”” The modern ideas are not as good and as pure as the ancient, Let us examine the characters presented to us in the old books, and let mothers oring prominently before their daughters the cha- racter Of this little Jewish maid, that they may imi- tate it. Mr, Isaacs closed with prayer for the Divine blessing to strengthen the purposes and the faith of weak Israelites, TEACHER GALLAGHER’S DEFENCE. Witnesses for Rehuttal of the Intoxication Allegations—Cbarge of Intimidating Wit- nesnes. The inquiry into the case of A. T. Gallagher, prin- cipal of grammar school No. 31, was resumed before the committee at the Board of Education Building yesterday. The evidence was entirely for the de- fence and presented but few differences, being all of the highly commendatory kind. Marshal Tooker, the defendant's counsel, before offering further evidence, called the attention of the committee tothe fact that he had written a letter to Mr. Davenport, deputy clerk to the Board of Educa- tion, asking for blank summonses to call witnesses, and had received a letter from that gentleman mm reply stating that he could not furnish them unless counsel gave a list of the names of his witnesses. He was unwiliiyg to do this, as he had reason to suspect A COURSE OF INTIMIDATION on the part of the prosecution in their regard, his witnesses being principally in the employ of the Board, He gave as instance the case of Miss adele Bassie, who for eight years had taught drawing at School 311. She was a teacher in the normal school, and had been paid extra for her work at school 31. Since giving evidence in the case in favor of the de- fendant her salary for the extra duty had been cut off, This, he charged, was done with the calculation of intimidating witnesses, The first witness called was officer Sherwood, the truant officer, who testified that Mr. Gallagher WAS NOT INTOXICATED on the 14th of February. He had known the de- fendant for a length of time, and had never seen him intoxicated. Patrick Malone, janitor of the school, stated that ne had held hi@ position for six years, and had never seen Gallagher under the malign intluence during that period; would have known it if he was; re- called the 14th of February through the fact of an inspection visit, and was certain that Mr, Gallagher was then seber. x-School Trustee William Dougherty had been forty years a citizen of the Seventh ward; was con- nected with the schoois tor years; VISITED BOYH DAY AND NIGHT SCHOOLS several times and never saw him inebriated. “Would you have been aware of it if he was?” “I snould think 80,’? He always treated witness courteously; never heard any complaint from the other teachers, Onicer Gibson had been eighteen months on the post, where it was his duty every other day to see the scholars go in and come out; saw Mr, Gaila- her constantly during that period, ana never ob- served anything of a liquory pature in his actions; he wouid know when a man was drunk. Officer Michael Wilkingon, for thirty-nine years a Seventh warder, had known Mr. Galiagher; for three or four terms it was his duty to look alter POLICE MATTERS AT THE SCHOOL; at Mr. Gallagher's request he escorted young ladies home to preserve them from insult; was there every night but Saturday; never knew Mr. Gallagher to be avsent but one night; had repeatedly conversed with him; never saw him under the influence of liquor. Defandant’s counsel here stated that these gentie- men had been examined because a witness for the prosecution, Miss Carrie V. Franklin, had stated in evidence that sobriety was the exception with bis client ana intoxication his rule, Miss Franklin, tastefully dressed, was present, with a lady friend, and took this witha smile. Two ous gentlemen on the seat in iront of the two jadies era, EARLY DISLOCATED THEIR NECKS neve mes in an endeavor to co! cate t them their doubtless profound toughest cate tO Miss Mary E. Culligan, dressed in quiet black, with @ rose in her hat, was called. She had been a pupil in grammar school No. 3i, under Mr. Gallagher's pripcipaismp; for three years she had been @ teacner in the same school as agsist- ant in the primary department; graduated from school No. 12; never noticed Mr. Gallagher mtuxi- cated; heard no talk about it; was never abused by him in any way; was not at present in school 3i, having been transferred. An afmMidavit from another teacher, Rosanna A. Ennis, of the same tenor, was read. Martin Col- lins, teacher, evening schooi No. 31; Patrick O'Reilly, grammar school No. 12, and Richara Walters, of East roadway, formerly a Seventh ward trustee, also testilied to his sobriety. The last witness spoke of an attempt made to remove Gallagher in 1964; Mr. Shiels and others had approached him, bat he refased his vote for the removal; was thirty years in the ward; NEVER KNEW A SCHOOL TRUSTEE competent to examine a class. Counsel then made a statement as to the defec- tiveness, with one exception (a Mr. Goidy), of Mr. Gallagher's vice principals, and read a number of laudatory extracts from tne visitors’ book of the school. ‘The evidence will probably be closed at the next sitting of the comunittee. KIDNAPPING A CONVICT, Singular Developments at Sing Sing Prison— Daring Attempt to Release a Convict, A bare-faced attempt to smuggle a convict out of Sing Sing Prison 1n broad daylight, and from under the (shou:d be) vigilant eyes of the keepers and guards, was brought to lignt on Friday, barely in time to frustrate the audactous scheme. Dur- ing the forenoon of the day named an ex- keeper of the prison named Justus Sprague, who is employed as coachman by one of the contractors, drove to the prison m abuggy, and while there was seen in earnest con- versation with a convict named John Miller, who is said to be a notorious pickpocket. Not more than twenty minutes bad elapsed when Miller was missed by his keeper, and the suspicious conduct of Sprague at once pointed 10 . the probable direction ne had taken. Accordingly some of the prison officials proceeded ‘to the premises of Sprague’s employer, distant about a mile and a half, where they found Miller in a stable, dressed in some of the ex-keeper’s clothes and appa- rently ready to again indict himself on the commu- nity. Muller was conducted back to the prison, and Sprague, naving been taken before Justice Howe, ‘was committed to the county jail to await the ac- tion of the Grand Jury, THE AMBULANCE CORPS, The Uniform to be Worn—How the Surgeons Are to be Known. The surgeons and attachés of the ambulance bureau connected with Bellevae Hospital have so viten experienced inconvenience from crowds of persons at the places where the doctors’ services have been required that it has been found desirabie to adopt a uniform dress, in order that ail the officers of the bureau shail at once be recognized upon appearing in the locality to which their duty summons them. Warden Brennan has, on this ac- count, been instrumental, at the expressed desire of the surgeons and attachés of the ambulance corps, in causing to be adopted a uniform for all the mem- bers of the corps, 80 that the trouble and encum- brance already experienced shall be prevented tn the future. The drivers of the ambulances are to wear @ sack coat of dark gray cloth, with black velvet collar and cults; a cap of dark gray cloth, with black velvet band, with gilt shield in centre, marked, ‘Ambulance Bureau’? and numbered. The surgeons are to wear a blue ‘undress coat, with brass buttons; biue military cap, with gold cord, having in centre @ wreath surround- ing the word “Ambulance.” The pants are also to be untrormly the same, but are to be regulated by the surgeons themselves, according to the season of the year.

Men Who Work Sunday and Week Day— The Sand Boatmen on a Strike—The Way Taey Work. In these days of combinations among workmen against employers the wonder 1s, not that the sand- men have gone on “strike,” but that they did not strike much sooner. Not many of the general public have ever taken the trouble to inquire in how many branches of industry sand 18 an indispensable commodity.

THE HISTORY OF THE BOSTON PEACE JUBILEE OF 1869, By Patrick 8. Gilmore, Boston: 1871, ‘There are very few people im this country who have not heard much of P, 8. Gilmore, of Boston; and fewer still who will not remember the famous Peace jubilee and musical festival which he got up there a couple of years ago. It was subjected to &@ great deal of ridicule and comment, and it aiso received @ great deal of praise; but whatever the real merits of thé affair may have been, none can deny that it attracted large crowds from all sec- ons of the Union, and that the majority of the visitors went away satisfied that the mam- moth entertainment was in all respects @ grand success, In the mind of Mr, Gilmore it was 80 eminently successful that he 1s now contemplat- ing another stupendous pandemoninm, which, in point of magnitude, will render the one of 1869 com- paratively insignificant, Instead of a chorus of fMf- teen or twenty thousand there will be fifty thousand voices, and probably all the available wind and string instruments and booming artlilery in Ame- rica wili be secured as an accompaniment. The Coliseum which is to be erected wiit nave @ capacity for hundreds of thousands, and the whole world will be invited to come and participate. Instead of consuming only four or five days it will occupy a fortnight or three weeks, and everything else inci- dental to the grand powwow will be on an equally gigantic scaie. ‘The detatis nave all been conceived and decided upon, and now that there 1s peace on the other side of the water they will be carried for- ward without delay. Probably, however, a couple of years or more will Clapse before the great event will take place, and during the intervening time Mr. Gilmore will have ample opportunity to make his arrangements both in this country and tn Europe. He has not yet decided whether to select New York or Boston for te scene of the great ovation, but tt is more than probable that he will settle upon tne locality of his former magnificent triumph. During the past year Mr. Gilmore has keen en- gaged in the preparation of a history of the jubilee which took place in Boston in June, 1869. Itis a work of nearly five hundred pages, and wil be issued tn a very few days. The writer begins witn a graphic description of the idea of the great jubilee when it first occurred to him, and then tells in @ pleasant and entertaining way how all his friends looked upon him as crazy when he disclosed to them the secret of his impressions of the project. He felt, however, within his own heart that the idea was worthy of the support of the nation, and if car- ried out would receive the applause of the world. “Go where he would,” he says, “that great chorus, with its thousands of voices, kept roaring in his ears and the crash of @ thousand instruments filled the world around him with enchanting harmony, Look where he might, the vision of a magnificent structure, filled with a vast multitude from ail parts of the nation, met hia gaze.” The primary objeet of the undertaking, ail will remember, was a celebra- tion in honor of peace. At this ume it was, how- ever, stil a question whether or not there was peace througuout the country, The public mind was much disturbed by the unsettled condition of affairs in mauy of che Southern States, and serious difficulties existed between President Jonnson and Congress, which resulted in his being brougnt before the tri- bunal of the Senate to auswer the charge of malfea- sance in oiice, It 18 suiticient to stace that, in the early days of the excitement attending the impeach- ment trial, Mr. Gilmore was reluctantly fotced to the conciusion that under the then exist! ig cireum- stances any movement to celebrate “the restoration of peace througnout the land’? would be looked upon as iil-judged and out of time, and should not be attempted until tue political aspects were more favorable. ‘The excttement created by the impeachment trial of Presideat Johnson had scarcely died away when the Presidential campaign of 1468 began. From the moment of his nommation it was evident that Gen- eral Grant would be cailed to tne high office so sadly made vacant by the tragic death of Lincoin; but tus popularity only made the contest the more exciting, the euthuslasm of the contestants increasing up to Ue last moment of the canvass, To this point tne projector had veen looking as through @ lengthenea visia for weary, Weary days, gathering all his sirength for the contest upon whi-h he was to enter when the political actors nad witharawn from the arena, ie idea of Mr. Gilmore was to have the jubilee take place im Washington on the occasion of the Inauguration of President Grant, and obtain an ap- Propriation from Congress to aid in carrying it for- ward. This suggestion was duly considerea, but tne prospects of an apprupriation were not fattering, the requisite numver of singers could not be gath- ered there, and the idea was abandoned. No reduc- ion of the musical taient could be entertaimed—the aifuir must be carried out where it could be carried ‘Out the most effectively, Many friends w whom we metropolis of the nation, they argued, its greater wealth and population, as well as other advant made New York more desirable tor such # costly demonstration than any otuer city in the Union. True, New York dia have many advantages over Boston, and a proper regard tor the opinion of his friends induced Mr. Gilmore to visit that city to see what eucourage- ment could be obtained. He went up to Central Park and looked at various unoccupied enclosures up ching for @ proper site on which the contempia' Colweum might be erected. There of ground. Could the means and infu- re it be found? But means and influ- euce lo secure the ground and erect the bullding were not all that was wanted, There must be music, great music—the most powertal orches- tra and chorus ever brought together. One of the leatures of ihe festival, loo, was to be a chorus of tweuty thousand children from the public schools, New York could supply this number without requir- ing a child under tweive years of age to take part; aud the edect of such a chorusof fresh young voices, with the accompaniment of a thousand musicians, even 1 plain and simple music, would be grand and inspiring beyond descripyon. ' But though ail the the enterprise should pe sub- 2 id be a@ failure, in the estimation of the originator, and fall short of its purpose, if the great choral featares conid not be introduced. Theretore, before making serious at- tempts to secure the pecuniary means he deemed it. advisavle ty make luquiry regarding some or the musical (eatures. ‘Yo ascertain about securing the chorus of 20,000 children Mr, Giimore cailed upon Thomas b then of the Board of Education of New York. “Weil, sir, What is the good news from Boston?’ inquired boese after Mr, Gilmore had introduced hinsel jothing special,’ replied the musical have cailed to ask a few questions relating to music in the public schools; to learn to Witat extent it is taught 1a New York and If chiidren receive sudicient instruction im that branch to ena- bie them to sing well together in large numvers,"” “Well,” replied Mr. Boese, ‘we employ many of the very best music teachers, and our children are supposed to be as far aavance! and as proficient in inusic as those Of any Oller city.’ “quite enough,” said Mr, Giimere. ‘*My reason tor seeking the information 1s thls:—Here 1s the pro- pectus of & musical festival.

How comfort. ing were the prospects may be seen from some ex- tracts from the letters which that friend wrote to Mr. Gilmore. One of tyem was in this wise:—“Have seen many parties whose opinions are of great value, and without whose co-operation success would be very doubtful, and they utterly refuse to join in the development of your scheme, at least until atter General Grant's inauguration, * * * Have asked several gentiemen to meet me at the club to-night, berore whom [ will place the matter in the strongest possible tight, Will report the result to- morrow.” And he did report the resait, which was as follows:—“Made the most earnest attempt last evening to introduce strong patties to recognize aud aii your enterprise, Could barely get a few out o very many who were at all willing to lend tt encouragement or support just now. ‘The princi objection seems to be that any annonneement M © Bauonal pi pe General ce subNeg Would be il-nmed un stanvs volley mM made knOWa. ‘projector Nad made known his plans advised him to start the enter- prise in New York.
