PROVINCETOWN, Mass., Ausrust 28, 1874. General Grant and his party are having a very Pleasant time of it here in Massachusetts, Tne people are terribly in earnest in their enthusi- asm, and his advent to the State thus far has been characterized by one continued ovation. At the Vineyard even religious devotions have been slighted that the multitude might mingle more heartily in the Executive welcome, and ail over the Cape there has been an expression of feeling which ts truly remarkable. ‘he decoration and filumination of the cawp meeting grounds last evening were innovations upon the sacred- ness.of the grove never before permitted, and besides this there was a gay reception in honor of Mrs. Grant, tendered by none other than Mrs. Tiffany, the wile of the Presidemtial pastor, THE ILLUMINATIONS were brilliant and gorgeous beyond description, rivalling anything in the way of dazzling spleador ever before witnessed within the hoiy precincts of the Vineyard. The reception, too, was one of those enjoyable occasion, more secular than de- votional, and it will unquestionably be reckoned a9 one of the most notable events in the annals of Cape Cod, A SERENADE BY YOUNG LADIES. It lasted until alate hour, and when the Presi- dent thought all tue festivities were over there | came @ supplementary honor in the shape of a midnight serenade by a “glee club,’ composed wholly of young ladies. Gallantry did not allow the Chief Magistrate to permit the compll- ment to pass unnoticed, and he appeared upon the balcony, returned his thanks, said he was tired, and, presuming these serenaders were, he sarcastically reminded him that alittle cep would be in order, | hen withdrow, and few moments inter the Cater i aahston were extinguished and the singers ana the sur- rounding crowds took the hint and went home. THE ENJOYMENT OF TO-DAY. For to-day’s tour and festivities the weather was | The sky was almost cloudless, | the air clear and bracing, and every element of | most charming. nature seemed to smile approvingly upon the’ eventful occasion, Vice President Wilson and Governor Talbot took leave of the, party at the unpleasautly early hour of three o’clock in tne morning, and went in @ special steamer to New Bedford and there took the early train for Boston. ' The pro- gramme arranged for General Grant and the re- maining visitors required an early departure at eight o'clock, and everything and everybody were promptly in readiness at that hour. The fresh acquisitions to the party included Senator Boutwell and Collector Simmons, of the port of Boston, and also Bishop Haven, all of whom had been devout attendants of the camp meeting pre- vious te the President’s arrival. TRIP TO NANTUCKET. | The party, numbering nearly 200 altogether, went aboard the steamer River Queen amid the gaze and cheers of the populace and the scream- ing music of an indifferent band from New Bed- ford. Their efforts were so horribly inabarmonious that the President became nervous, and in a most emphatic manner expressed the wish that they might all be seasick as soon as possible. The steamer proceeded immediately to Nantucket, and the run was mude between the two islands in about two hours, GRANT IN A MEMORABLE STATEROOM, It may be an interesting reminiscence to state that the steamer was the same which General Grant had for his personal use on the James River during the war, and to-day he occupied the same stateroom in which @ few years since himself aud Abranam Lincoln had their memorable conference with the Peace Com- missioners of the collapsed Confederacy. The apartment was handsomely decorated for the tes- tive trip, and in fact there was an unusual disp lay of flags and streamers «ul over the stcamer. THE RECEPTION AT NANTUCKET was as formal as it was generous and enthusiastic, There was a committee for every feature of the demonstration ana the honored and most elderly citizens served in & most commendable mau- ner, Of course all business was suspended for the time being and all the flags and bunting in town were thrown to the breeze, and the villaze gun was brought into Fi Seg a to fire the inevitable saluve, It was, indeed, a great day for Nantucket, and the honest veterans and dames, as well as the young bloods and fair damsela, were bound to give the President a reception that would arouse bis pride and adimiration. THE TOWN CRIER, or some properly authorized magnate proclaimed his arrival as the boat neared the whart:. “Hear ye! hear ve!’ he solemnly exclaimed, “the President of the United States is here, and t call upon you all, a8 good, loyal citizens, to give | him a hearty welcome,” and then foliowed a round | of cheering from nearly every man, woman and child in the town, ‘The party took carriages and were driven to the various points of interest on the Isiana, and sub- sequently they were invited to a superb colla tion at the Ocean House. ‘This event Was supple- mented by a reception and general handshaking, | between the distinguished visitor and the isiand- ers. Not satisfied with this they called for speech; but the President was not to be coaxed in that way so long as he couid authorize one of the Cabinet to speak for him. He called upon THE NEW POSTMASTER GENERAL. Mr. Jewell responded for the party in a most happy manner, expressing a wish that next year the islanders get 7 a grand national camp meet- ing. He also complimented them by saying that | the President was obliged not only for the recep- | tion he had met with, but for the great contribu- tions of Nantucket to our commerce and indus- tries, which have made this country one of the leading nations of the period. HRKOIC SACRIFICE, From Nantucket the party steamed across to Hyannis, and to many the trip was not particu. | larly enjoyable, There was heavy sweil on, and those of tender a _ sensitive stomachs were very unhap] Among the | earliest to contribute the elegant Nantucket lunch to the finny tribe was Collector Simmons, and his example of herotc sacrifice was soon {ol- lowed by a dozen others, some of the good Metho- dists, meantime, singing ike appropriate hymn beginning, “That's so with all of us.” The Presi- dent and his Immediate party were proof against the rolling of Old Neptune, and delighted in the trp across the ' bay, Hyannis was reached about two o'clock, an hour later than tne time specified in the programme. All the peopie in tne town were out, and hundreds came in from the surrounding country to unite in the demonstrations of welcome. Flags and stream- ers were conspicuous on ail public and many prt- vate ee and the church bells mingled their peals wi THE CHPERS OF THE MULTITUDE as the nation’s Magistrate stepped upon rhe wharf. A span of prancing steeds and the finest barouche | in the village were in waiting to give the eminent visitor @ drive through the principal streets. After he had taken mig seat in the carriage the horses became suddenly frightened at the noise of the locomotive, and for a moment they threatened to smash things nerally and possibly offer an opportunity tor the Vice President: to administer public affairs fora couple of years. . ‘The driver had muscle aud grit though, and in moment the refractory trotters were under con- | trol, and what promised to be a serious accident ‘was only thrilling and interesting event. DEMONSTRATIONS OF THE PEOPLE. Leaving Hyannis the party came directly to Provincetown in a special train furnished by the Old Colony Railroad. The distance is about sixty | miles, and some three hours were consumed in the journey. AC all the stations there were crowds assembled, who indulged in demonstrations of wel- come as the train passed by, and where stops | were made there wore hearty and impromptu re- ceptions, Yarmouth, South Dennis, Harwich and Wellfleet are the towns where the demonstrations were most expressive id enthusiastic. At the Harwick station a carpeted piat- form had becn provided “and” the bandings | in the vicinity Were literally covered wit fags and streamers. When the train stopped the Presi- dent stepped ont upon the carpeted stand and was at once greeted with round after round of lusty cheers. Motto on the depot bullaing was significant of the iact that THE THIRD TERM IDEA has obtained some ground, even down here on Cape Cod. It read:—‘Harwich tor Grant in 1868, 1872 and 1876,” The inscription attracted gen- eral attention irom the party and provoked not @ little comment among those in the Preaidenv’s car. At the elifieet station there was also & special platform erected, and, besiaes being covered with an elegant velvet car. Bet, the ratlings were most elaborately decorated With streamers and bouquets, ther pleasing feature of the display was the presence o1 the town’s school children, formed in a line along the track, the girls ne dg. “ther in white and red, waving @ miniatare ‘There was aiso a band Breser® which played the traditional «Hall to the hief’ when the President appeared, and ths concourse of people mingled their cheers with the Musical atrains, The demonstraciona Were ware more format ana protracted than anything that had hap;ened. Dr, Stone, one 01 the leading citizens and @ happy orator in his way, escorted the Presl- dent to the platiorm, and, when whe cheers had subsided, went at him with & genuine speech of welcome, which lasved ten minutes or more. Of course he had considerable to say about Plymouth Rock and the Pilgrim Fathers and the loyalty of their sons and the pride which ne felt on welcoming such a Gis- tinguished visitor as the.President of the United States, and remarked that it wouid be a red let- ter day in the bistory of the town. AN EAST BRIDGEPORT HORROR. A Lonely Woman Found Dead tm Her Homie. BRivGEpPoRT, August 28, 1874. Residents in the vicinity of the corner ot Willard and Cullen streets, East Bridgeport, were shocked day evening at a sad discovery. It appears that for @ numberof months past a woman about forty-eight years of age, known to her neighbors as Mrs. Potter, had occupied the upper part of @ small two story house on the corner of the streets above mentioned, aud had lived there all alone, parties who had occupied the tower part a8 @ meat Market having closed out business. On Tuesday the family of Mr. Gleason, living on the opposite corner, noticed that children were playing on the stairway leading to the rooms ot Mrs. Potter. It was also observed that the out- 1 side door was partly open, and, not having seen the tenant about for the past few days, it was | thought that perhaps she was confined to her room by illness. About six o'clock Mrs. Gleason accordingly directed her son to climb to the win- dow of Mrs. Potter’s bedroom on a ladder, and as- certain if she was within, ‘rhe boy upon reaching the room raised tne window to look in, but the moment he did so a | horrible effluvium struck his sense of | smell, and @ brief glance whicn he gave the contents of the room beiore descending disclosed oacer ned aud partly decayed corpse lying upon He speedily imparted the news to his mother, and the report spreading and coming to those in authority, & jury of inquest was suminoned, The members made @ hurried examination, as owing } to the horrible stench it was impossibie to remain long to the building. ‘fhe deceased was lying on | ber bed, in her night garments, her body peine partly exposed, shrunken in some places an loated in others, and was already being devoured by worms, It"WAB ascertained that she had no immediate relatives in Bridgeport, but had wealthy sisters in Bethel, Conn, who were telegraphed the fact of her death.

By the death of John Henry Foley British art has lost one of its brightest ornaments, a man de- voted to study and ever aiming to attain a higher perfection in nis works, ever willing to accord praise wherever it was due and seeking rather to depreciate than exalt his own merit. As the result of long and Iaborious study Mr. Foley reached the topmost rung of jame tn a foreign | land, Whither he went, without {riends or patrons | to help mim in the struggle of ite. Born in | Dubitn on the 24th of May, 1818, his attention was | early directed toward art by arelative, who was himseif ap ornamental sculptor. At the age of thirteen he entered the drawing and modeiling schools of the Koyal Dublin Soctety, then under the direction of a sculptor of eminence—Mr. Smith. This gentleman, perceiving the bent of young Foley’s mind, encouraged him to select sculpture as the special object of his study. After some years spent under this master the youthful student succeeded in carrying off the two first prizes in the classes he attended; and as Dublin, a8 a result of the union, was rapidly sinking to the position of @ provincial town, the young artist turned his eyes to London as affording a wider fleld for the exercise of his talents. In 1834 he left for London, where he entered as student in the Royal Acad- emy. From this time until he appeared as exhib- itor in the Academy exhioition of 1839 he sup- ported himseli by working for other sculptors, but the success which attended his exhibited models soon enabled him to Open a studio oi nis own. His fist works exhibited in 1839 were “Innocence” and “The Death of Abel,” which were much ad- mired; but bis real success dates {rom the lollow- ing year, when he contributed the beauti- fal group of “Ino and Bacchus,” which obtained a upularity greater, perhaps, than has fallen to tae lot of any modern work of art. it 1s distinguished | by playtul fancy, graceiul limes and exquisite re- Abement ol conception. it at once raised the young Irish sculptor to the front piace of his pro- jession, and it 13 to bis honor that it has ever beeu his constant aim to merit the place which he had won. ‘Lhe artist received an order irom tue karl of Kilesmere tor the production of this group in marble, and the manner in which the work was executed increased the lame ai the artist.

Hence the ripest years of Mr. Foley's lie were devoted to modelling busts and mouuwental statues, In tuis branch of art Mr. Foley enjoyed during late years sometning like @ monopoly.

So jealous was he of his reputation that no press of ordera could induce him to iaulty work to leave bis studio, it way one of his great merits that he never de- graded his art toa trade. Although he received very liberal remuneration tor bis works, such was tue care he bestowed in tN them that he Made jess Money than artists who enjoy not a tithe of the popularity he did.
