SUNDAY SAUNTERINGS. On the Strand and in the Wildwood. OUT-OF-TOWN EXCURSIONS. How the Masses Enjoyed a Bright Summer Day. The glorious brightness of yesterday and the ample means afforded tor enjoying it, culled forth thousanas from the streets and byways to the parks and pleasure grounds in and Central Park and beyond were crowded ull the atter- Boon bearing great freights of humanity out beyond tke city’s heat, The different ferries and steam- boats plying across and up and down the rivers and | Day carried large iumbers of pleasure-seekers to West- chester and Harlem, to Long leland, Staten Island and Jersey. During the early hours of evening the crowds began to return, and many found thelr way to Gil- more’ id the Central Park gardens, where, in listen- ing to sweet music, the Sunday’s pleasure was appro- priately concluded, ‘THE CENTRAL PARK. The minor parks and squares wero crowded morning and afternoon, byt the great attraction was the Cen- tral Park, and thither all day long pressed the stream Of young and old, rich and poor, tair ana homely, coy- ering the sidewalks and filling cars and carriages as tightly as they could well be packed, many of the former carrying @ load of from fifty to sixty pas- Sengera. The Park itself had put on its holi- day attire, The recent rains had washed every biade of grass and leat of tree id shrub till they glowed like very emeralds; the roads and Paths were cleaner than the deck of a man-ol-war, white the well filled lake—its surface broken into gen- Ue ripples by the breeze—added tenfold to the fresh- peas and beauty of the scene, The singing of birds Bmong the trees, breaking the silence of the Park and Gilling the air with cheerful meloay, had # peculiar charm for eara accustomed to the din and roar of crowded streets.

The proportion of children was, ot meee, vay large, and many of the little boys and girls could not forbear to violate the most couspicu- ously placed warnings that forbid rerpeaor ce the rass plots and picking the flowers and sb: ul For ‘the most part, however, they tound legitimate vent for their bigh spirits im runping up and down the paths and playiog ‘tug’? and bide and seek in tho rustic bowers. ‘rom Great to last the swings were in Constant motion, while many of the little ones speut their happiest moments i carriages drawn by teams of gouts, Others, emulating the mountain tourist, climbed the steep paths on mules and donkeys led by small boys im uniform. Bavy carriages, at “eight cents an hour,” were generaily considered more safe and commodious than even the sure-iooted mulo, and found more liberal patronage from the very young, while the great majority lound, perhaps, equul plouguro in the use of their two legs. Among the more ignorant visitors quite a num- ber were puzzied to guess who the statue of Shakespeare represented, their curiosity being ex- cited by the singularity of the dress, Tho new Hulleck statue naturally received the most attention, and in front of it there was geucrally # large crowd, which ‘was nothing if pot emtical, » One | individual wondered at the length of the pencil; a: the height of the “picaailly"” claimed ut the ‘big button on bis vest,’ till a fourth explained that it was used to *‘pull down” the garment.

PICNICS, : THEIR TYPES AND CHARACTERISTICS—RBELIG- IOUS, POLITICAL AND SOCIAL PiCNICS—CON- TRASTS OF OUTDOOR ENJOYMENTS. ‘The picnic season having arrived most of the Hxnatp’s Yeaders will no doubt find tuterest in all that ap- portains to the subject, The origin of the picnic may salely be said to been coexistant with the rst large city and to have grown apace with the gradual grouping of men in crowded centres, Since the first picnic varieties have increased, until now, eccording to trustworthy statisticians, there are uot fewer than seventy-one species. The span of human existence is too brief and the weather too fervent to allow ap extended mention of all of theyo, aud the most datisfactory method of deahpg with the question of species ts (o accept the calculation as true and say a few words about those types of pic- mic which are familiar to the generat reader, The pil- tering teideucy of slang is manifested in the many meanings it bas attached to this word, with which heretofore have been associated many of the pleasant- st recollections of suinmers gone. Some of the very modern uses of the word ure sufficient to prove to any uubiassed mind the truth of the siatement tuat pionice are of pleasaot memory.

I allude to the Forty-second street reservoir, which cost the city Millions—to be sold or disposed of to some schemers and to be only valued at about $200,000, isafraud, The idea of saving the city $240,000 when they ci millions instead is the object I take in hand, was weil posted in public matters might enlighten you bettor. Would it not be better jor the taxpayers to leave the structure as it isand convert it into a Tombs Prison? @ sito for which has beeo long looked tor, This is g chance to do the thing hand- somoly, A more oligible site cannet be found, aud, the rapid advancement of value in prop: erty and uccumulation of erime demand i.

CRAZY HORSE'S BAND. The Surrendered Hostiles at the Red Cloud Agency. JUSTICE FOR THE RED MAN. ss Send the Indian Ploughs Instead of Tomahawks, ———_-__—— Rep CLoup AGENcy, Nebraska, May 7, 1877. There can be no more appropriate piace for com- mencing a description of the American Bedouins than the arrival of Crazy Horse and bis lurge band of Northern Sioux, who have long been ivoked for at this agency and finally made their appearance yesterday, A full outline of this was telegrapbed to the Henatp yosterday, but a few words may not Le out of place at this potas, THR HOSTILES SURRENDER, The evening previous Red Cloud and Crazy Horse camped on a branch of War Bounet Creek, seven or eight miles from the agency, Early yesterday morn- ing they were met while on the march in by Lieutenant Clark, of Goneral Crook's stall, who is tv have charge of them while onthe reservation, and who came to show them the place where they should camp, When he approached Crazy Horse dismounted and, seating bimaelt on the ground, said Le wished to shake hands while thus seated because that was the sign that the peace made was to last through life aud forever. Alter shaking hands tho subordinate chiefs, tive or six im number, approached and shook hands likewise, One of them, He Dog, presented the Lieu- tenant wih « very handsome war bonnet and a “medicine shirt’? made of buckskin and trimmed with scalp locks, The buflalo robe upon which be had boen seated during the ‘talk’’ was also handed to him and a pony given—all intended as an expression of good teeling and regard, Soou aiter the Strange procession resumed its way to the Agency, where, as may be imagined, it proguced sumething of ® sensation ; and truly it was ap odd, barbaric sight that long black procession of human figures, with the great herds of ponies moving down the distant hillside like @ swarm ol black ants. The sun was in the zenith of ® sky almost cloudless; each ray was reflected back from the bright surfaces of tho tinsel, bead and metal trappings, im which the age #o loves to attire himself. First came a column of stolid-faced friendly Indian soldiers—regularly enlisted in the United States army—uuder charge of Sergoant Red Cloud, They looked neitner to the right nor to the lett, aud sat their ponies as if both horse ang ridor had been carved out of the same block of wood. Noxt came Crazy Horso and his warriors in compact columns, many of them singing a rude and slow- measured chant called the Poace Song, dually the squawe, old mon and children, with the village itself, Every one who could ride rode; walking is as much au indigoity in the eyes of an Indian as it Is in thoge ofa Spanish hidalgo, Scores of little ponies trotted by, carrying upon their backs quaint panniers of painted buffalo hides (called parfléchgin the lan® guage of the Plains), and dragging after them the lodge polos, to which were attached all the property of the little community. Very many had netting of thong lashed to the poles behind them, and in these were slang the little children too young or too tired to ride, How young a Dakota child is when too young to ride ja @ question difficul, to answer, Those in the cavulcado of yesterday ranged from twelve years down to three. All managed their little poles with equal grace, Herds of loose animals, many brood mares witb little colts trotting alongside Strung out over the country, and last of all the pickets and tlunkers who ure on all occasions posted on the fiugke and at rear vf a moving columu of Indians rode by and entered the Agency. Every little while some of the squaws would start a song, und the refrain, soon caught up by her companions, was hummed and droved aiong the coluinn; little boys dashed at mad gullop hither and thitber, and the whole scene could without ulteration buve been transplanted to the depths of the Sabura wad pass tor a villuge of Arabs, SRITING UP THE WIGWAMS, The squaws delayed not a moment m erecting their tepis or lodges, which, braced by tweoty-two long poles of fr wood, resist every vain attempt of the wind to overthrow them. The int is black und grimy trom the soo! posited by the smoke ascending from the little tire constantly kept buraing inthe centre of the floor. a few old puus and a battered coffee-pot consti- tured the average ‘eaith ef kitenen goods, for bo it chased and hunted so mucl durt Year past that tovy found it expedient to ubaudon sarplus bugwage and lost much in their various counters with the troops. The children ran in aod out, through and and the topis, nono of them arrayed ravagal but all sharing an equality of filth, They looked very keen and apimated, aud in the possession of rovust bealth, neir ringiog laughier gave ap animation to the scene scarcely to be iooked for inthis dreary couutry. One or two of the squaws who were visib e—most of them remained ‘Within the lodges, busy in cooking the eveuing meul— were dressed very prettily ja their peculur gowns of cape skins, crusted over with funciiul bead work, They did pot address the Struugers, except to ankwer the questions put vo them by the olficiuls who were tuking the census of the viliage; count.ng mon, women aud children to de- termine tho amount of rations to be drawn.

Whev 4 approached trom the ether villages, if food was ready erybody was offered something; gencraily coffee aud bread, the latter ao indigestible compound of flour and water, Botn men aud women indulge in earrings, necklaces and bracelets, ull made of prees of brags ai bacreous shells found in the Yeliowstone. These earrings are stupendous aflairs; some O! them reach almost to the waist Woily the work of gatuering 12 the arms and “round- tng up” the hords of ponies was going on tne Indian soldiers were stationed on the crest of the bills over- looking the village, hot certain whether their services should ve needed or pot.
