MHIHASI AND SPEECH OF TUB PRKSfDET.
Boston, June 22. t about half-past 9 tbe
party took supper, and about the Maine time
preparations were commenced for the serenade,
by Gilinore's celebrated band, composed of
sixty pieces. Tne muslclaus arrauged them
selves on the sidewalk Just under the baloony.
and at hair-past 10 th music began. An tin
mense crowd wan leathered in the streets walt
idk lor expected speeches from Johnson and
He ward. The crowd was noisy, but well con
ducted at the same time. After the performance
or a number of airs. Mayor Nororom led the
1 resident to the balcony and iutrodaoed him
to the vast concourse, who cheered loudly. The
- President addressed the people as follows:
Fellow-cU'rens of the Bute of Massachusetts: In
being Introduced to you here to-night, it Is ror the pur
poae of Informing tne crowd that so far as I am con
cerned there will be no speech on Ibis occasion. It Is
not my purpose In VlslllngMassachurieUson this occa
sion to make speeches. I have come to Massachusetts
for two reasons one of wblcb Is UitU It has been a lone
time a desire on my part to visit I he Si ate of Massa
chusetts, one of the glorious mates of this coniede
racy. (Cheerr.) Tnls Is one of tlie reasons wby I am
here. Hi ere Is another. It Is true, to which I shall
no' allude on this occasion. In presenting myielf
litre, and In being irodticei to you to-night by
your dlstliiKulebed representative, the Mayor,
ft Is for the purpose of informing you that I
si all not make a speech or nd dress ou this occasion.
(Crusontho outskirts ol the crowd. "Threecheers
lor Congress," which were at once given.) The man
ner, the cordial manner lu which I have been re
ceived by the people of this Btate on this occasion
will n alee a deep and lasting Impression on my heart,
aud so long as my heari shall continue to send forth
one sing e kind emotion, just so long will the impres
sion remain lnd libly upon It which ha now been
made by- the people of Massachusetts since I
nave visited tills Stale. Though a strauger to
yon. anil thoiigb tbere bos been much std about
Iiarty and all that, my business here bas no re
ererce whatever to party. In paying your
respects to ike Chief Magistrate of the nation
It Is done. as 1 understand, Irrespective oi party. I
stand bfore you to nlghtas your fellow citizen, and,
asl have Just remarked, as tbedil'f Magistrate ot
the nation, and the manuer In which I have been re
ceived as a citizen of the Un.ted fctatea, aud as the
Chief Magistrate of the nation , Is peculiarly grailly ing
to me, and I think will not detract from your reputa
tion ot character I must say, though, after being
Introduced, mat I am proud to have it in my power lo
dec'areon this occasion, notwl hstandluu we have
been dlv ded aud severed in twain as it. were, that the
bow of peace is si In the cloud, and that the day Is
couilrg when reason and truth will resume their
empiie. The nay Is coming whoa a returning
sei.se of justice, when a renevmtng spirit will reiwe
this iieople and make thorn again milted, and feel
as brotLers. (Cheers.) 1 leel that the time Is coming
wben we ran utter and proclaim thai great sentiment
tbat the world Is our borne, and every honest man
our brother. (Cheers.) Then, my countrymen, In
conclusion, and bidding you good-bye here to night,
let me tender lo you, and when I do so I do It In tue
utmoftt Sincerity, let me tender-to you my sincere
(bunks for the demonstration which you have made,
and for the cordial feeling you have manifested In
receiving me In your midst, and lu retiring from you
to-night let me bid yon good-bye, and tender you my
heartfelt thanks for the cordial and kind manner lu
which you have received me ou this occasion. Then
good-bye, and take witb yon the bust blessings of
Heaven upon your heads. jLoud cheers.)
SPEECH OF HE. SEWARD.
As soon us Ibe President had retired, loud
calls were made Mr. steward, and after a brief
delay, the Secretary of State appeared at the
Window. He was received with great applause,
mingled witb a few hisses; and as soon as order
was restored, spoke as follows.
Clt iensof Boston and People of the State of Mas
sachusetts, (Cries ot "Louder''): You have asked me
to speak louder. Kxcuse me for saying that lor two
fears past I have had an impediment In my speech,
cannot speak louder, and If you are not content
with what can be said with a Jaw honestly broken. I
must ask you to call some other speaker in my place.
But with such poor speeches as I onn utter, I come
before you with pleasure to acknowledge the gratifi
cation or pride, ot patriotism, and ambition
tl at I have experienced to-day in many expres
sloitS and marks of kindness wblon have met me
on all sides as 1 came through the (state of Massachu
setts. It is a pleasant thing to see that after the con
vulsions Of a civil war, and after the almost equally
terrific convulsion ot a returning ptace. that there is
so mucb charity expended by the people ot Massa
chusetts to a man who Has bad upon him responsi
bilities from which, if be bad been able to foresee
them, bis every thought wouid have dictated that be
should seek to escape from them. (Three cheers tor
Oeneral Sheridan were given at this point.) lam
here with the President of the United Blates In
Massachusetts. I must be allowed to express
to you the satisfaction which I enjoy In the re
ctption which you bave extended to him. I
was with him a fortnight ago In lili native Btate
of North Carolina, t Cries of "three cheers for North
Carolina!' ) Yon may well give three cheers
for the Btate or North Carolina. She was the first
Btate to put forth a declaration of Independence la
the Revolution against Great Britain. You may well
give three cheers for North Carollua. She was the
fetaUi of the eleven who seceded who went last most
reluctantly out of the Union. You may well give
three cheers ror North Carolina. Sue was the Brat of
tne eleven who seceded to come back again to the
family tire side of the Union; and to-day nothing Is
wanting for her to resume tier ancient, honorable, and
most patriotic position In the family ot the republic
but the consent ol the people of Massachusetts. Now,
I know that all that Is coming about Is coming about
very soon. I bave seen the earth and the skies full
of the elements of fertility, ol health aud of vigor;
and I saw In North Carolina the cotton spring
up which Is to supply next year the mills of Massa
chusetts. I have seen in New York the wheat
growing that-is to supply the West Indies and the
Bm.thern Wales. I know that nnttire designs that this
whole continent not merely these thirty-six States,
but this whole continent should be. sooner or later,
within the magic circle of the American Union,
tLud cheers ) The people lu North Carolina and
Georgia may try to get out as much as tuey please,
and you bere In Massachusetts may try to keep them
out as much as you -please; Ood aud nature bave
decided agaiust both, aud you are to live together
s brothers, In unltv aud harmony. Now, I told
mi that I was peculiarly gratified with the
reception that you gave the President of the
United 8tatos to-day. Now let ns say one
word for your serious reflection on that sub
ject. Almighty God bas revealed to men or
allowed them to conceive of no safe or permanent
Government In which there shall not be one execu
tive bead. That bead must exist In the Government,
whether it Is a king, or an emperor, or a president.
Tbere are but two ways in which an executive head
can be procured for a natlou-one is by birth here
uttsry and Ue other Is by election (three cheers for
our President by election) but nations bave been uu
willing to submit to a king or an emperor, and there
fore beloie be Is born the sword Is prepared whiou Is
to Le put into his hands with which he shall he able
to compel their consent during his natural life. On
the other band, a republic elects a president, and they
takesecurity acainst his abuse or tyrannical exerelse
of power by stipulating that he shall be President fur
but four years; and having made that stipulation ther
Btree that be shall bave no sword lu bis band to
k-ei b in In the possession ol the power they bave
Intrusted to him, but that they by their own consent
will acquiesce aud sustain hi in (or the period of four
years, aud uo longer, wlieu they can turn him out
and put lu a successor that they elect. Now, If you
are going to have a President, as a President Is a
necessity, aud for four years, how are you to get hiui?
You are to agree that the majority of the people or
the fc tales f hall elect blm. There Is no other wv but
tbat you must acquiesce In It during the term oi and
that the minority concur in the choice that the major
ity has made for four years aim no longer. Only
adhere to that one simple principle, and this republic
will last forever. This repuollo can never perish if
you have a President that the people themselves,
without the employment of military force, will bus
tain lor four years at a time, and no longer. But
what have we seen? We have seen this republic on
the very brink of death aud dissolution. Aud why?
Because ten Stales of this Union refused to submit
to the President that was chosen by the majority
of the other States; six y ears ago, ami what did you
do T You compelled tbeui to submit; you compelled
them to acuulesce. Now you have another President
for four years, and two of those years are gone.
(Good, good.) When those other two years have gone
the majority will then elect another president. Do
you not exp'ct that tlie minority, who vote against
that new president, will acquiese lu ,hls holding the
executive power lor the four years tor which he is
to be elected? Wby? Because the minority must ao.
quleece or your nation is lo be abandoned to ruin for
secession. Then all there is Is Just this. We have
just got to learn one simple habit that of acquiescing
in Uie choice that we ourselves make of our Presi
dent for four years, and then, at the expiration or
that time. Improving noon the last oholce by
making as much better one as we have
the success and wisdom to do. There Is the solution
of all our troubles. Jt is all in that The south has
been tautht that it must submit to the President
when he is chosen by the North, and the North must
show that it will submit to the president that they
choose or is chosen tor them by Ibe majority of the
American people. Give me only this one assurance,
that there shall never be an unlawful resistance to
an armed fnr.e to the President bearing the autho
rity ol the United Seales, and give me then filly, forty,
or thirty more years or hie. and I will engage to
give you the possession of the American cociuueut,
and the' control of the entire world. (Cheers.)
I)env me that simple tblutt of the acquiescence ol the
people lu their own choice, and I will not pledge you
the continuance, the existence ol this Union through
ka'J the period which we bave carried It through.

After Hecreiary Beward's speech, there were
loud calls for General Hanks, but he positively
refused to respond, and shortly after an an
nouncement was made that there would be no
more speeches. The crowd then slowly dis
persed, and Ibe band also departed. Tue Presi
dent then went to bis private rooms.

confused In the whirl of fashion It Is my duty
10 describe, l'eople who have bad a laoe mania
In their youth are fatally bent on malting use
of all tbe odd yards lying by, and perplex one
with voluminous queries as to what these yards
of expensive drapeiy can be made Into. There
is no possible way of employing lace flounces
now, unless on ball robes. Hbawla are out of
fashion, except when worn like scarfs; mantil
las are antiquated, unless a l'tispagnole, that is,
over the Lend and shoulders. liutall old stvles
will be new some day, and what we do not want
now will come in for our grandchildren.
I do not suppose the longest life could em
brace more sinking events than those of the
latter days in Paris, Ever since the arrival of
the Kmperor of Kussia, every Frenchman has
been siuiitseelng.and every French woman has
been seen. The whole nation Is out, and the
nation's servants are following the example of
their masters.
The first grand show was on Saturday last,
wben the capital was hung with Hags and ar
morial bearings. Every street through which
Alexander II and bis sons were to pass with
the imperial cortege was lined with a moving
tide of curious human beings. These were nine
slate carriages, preceded by a detaohment of
the body guard and lancers on horesback. Al
exander II presented his two sons to the Km
peror of France Immediately on arriving
They wore Ihe order of the Legion d'Honneur.
Tlie Duchess of Mouohy was In mauve and !
white on tbe balcony of the Jlotel de Canter
bury, In the Ruede la Falx, with many other
distinguished priaoesses and some members of
the English aristocracy.
I noticed the Duchess' bonnet because It was
very extraordinary. It was Jonquil color, and
the front was a diadem of mauve ostrich
feathers. It was tied on under tbe chin with
tulle, and over the cbiguon behind with a Jon
quil how somewhat large.
Every window was occupied by ladles In full
dress, some in white musllu, with colored bolts
and long snsh ends. All bad bouquets, which
would probably have been thrown before the
Emperors If they had entered Paris in open
carriages, but they were very much shut In,
aud etiquette had enforced that poor Alexander
11 should be tbe first closed up lu the heat of a
scorching sun.
The Empress Kupenle, followed by her ladles,
met the new comers at the foot of the grand
staircase at the Tullerlea.
. Khe wore a blue robe covered with white laoe,
and a lace train.
Introductions and presentations lasted half
an hour, when tbe hniperor accompanied Alex
ander 11 and his sons to tbe Ely see Napoleon,
which was HUed np for their reception. It naay
be remembered that the Bods partes and Bour
bons bave Inhabited this palace In preference
to the i nllerles, and tbe Emperor fully Intends
living there himself alter the Exposition. All
tbe finest tapeslry sent np for the champ de
Mars has been employed for decorations here.
It is almost impossible lo describe tbe beauty
of the furniture, aud tbe value of the different
paintings from old and mdUern masters is said
to be wonderlul. One of the curtains from the
Gobelins represents the Judgment of Paris,
after Raphael. The Counsel room Is In Louis
XV stvle. all ellt. green silk, and mosaic. All
round there are trie portraits of tne reln-ninn
sovereigns of Europe. The private oratory or
chapel is full of carved m,u Die ana mosaic.
In one of Napoleon's own suite of rooms are
preserved all the books used by Queen Hortense
and Napoleon I. Near this Is the famous "silver
saloon," In which everj thing Is made of silver.
Tnls is where Bonaparte slgued his abdication
In 1814.
The Emperor of Russia will occupy all the
ground lloor; his eldest son the Empress' suit,
which Is very lovely (alt Louis XVI style), aud
tbe younger son. Prince Valdimlr, will luhablt
tbe little Imperial Prince's apartments; they
are all grey and blue.
When the present occupants have left, the
Kb see i will he occupied successively by the
Emperor and Empress of Austria, then by the
Hultan, very probably by tbe Pope, and, In fact,
by all the expected visitors In turn.
On Sunday the races again drew all Paris
together, and there being no room for the im
mense crowds, even In the Bols de Boulogne,
they formed a continuous chain from the Tulle
ries to Longcharaps. It was a sight never to be
forgotten. Manjicks, Cossacks, Jockeys, riders,
drivers, Victorias, cars of every kind, stars,
orders, ribbons, nags, liveries, thoroughbreds,
gamblers, and ladies of every class In variety.
All were Jumbled together, each striving on
wards according to the dillerent Instincts given
to each. The noblesse had to compete for room
with the lowest butcher's conveyance. The
Emperors and Princes alone bad outriders to
clear a passage. Now and then an open
barouche with six horses got ahead, but hud
I hen to square and draw up by the side of
another no less well-appointed vehicle. '-First
come first served."
I do not enumerate the ' names of all the dis
tinguished celebrities, but the Dtiobesse de
Mouchy was in light blue and Alenoon lace,
M'me oe Karsakoit' in pearl grey and cerise.
Waves of white muslin filled caleches with va
porous folds. White tulle bonnets and ruddy
glowing berries, with wreaths of foliage, encir
cled every brow.
Large colored silk sashes are the principal or
namenton white robes. Jewels were all of plain
gold. The ear-rings are very large.
Circles of gold were worn round our new high,
flat chignons.
Overskirts were very flat and underskirts had
pllsse flounces. Whenever stripes were adopted
tbe underskirt was made of the same shade as
tbe colored stripe on white ground.
The King and Queen of the Belgians, the
Prince of Prussia, and both the Emperors were
In the Imperial stand, and an Incident worth
mentioning is thatM. Theirs happening to pass,
and the King of the Belgians having asked bim
to walk up, the Emperor of Russia, on hearing
wbo tbe little mau in spectacles was, got u p and
shook hands with him most cordially. If this
is not very significant, there is no faith In
politics.
On Monday the Emperor of Russia gave an
entertainment at the Russian embassy to
seventy Russian ladles and one hundred Rus
sian noblemen. The Grand Duchess Marie wore
an orange colored robe; her daughter was la
white and cerise.
M'me de Karsakoff was in sulphur, a new yel

streets, constituted the most Imposing display
of the kind ever seen In this country, or In
Europe. As early as 7 o'clockthe streets dis
played unusnal life, and by 10 the throng gath
ered on the streets through which tbe procession
wbb to pass was so great that locomotion was
almost Impossible. Flags and bunting were
thrown to the breeze in every direction, and In
different parts of the city elegant devices In
honor of the occasion were erected.
Aa Arch of Welcome.
On Franklin street a magnificent arch was
erected, which stretched entirely across the
street, and contained the motto, "The Mer
chants oi Boston welcome the Masonlo frater
nity."
rn newspapers.
The different newspaper offices are appro
priately decorated. The Boston Journal office
on Washington street Is very tastefully hung
with red, white, and blue, and displays aUoa
maible bust of Franklin, under which Is the
motto, "Our Fellow Craftsman."
Ibe President Amom the Masons.
About 0 o'clock a Committee of the Grand
Lodge of Masons proceeded In carriages to the
Tremont House, and esoorted Andrew John
son, President of tbe United States, to the Free
Alstons' Hall, in Summer street, where hla
Excellency was Informally received by tlie on
cers of the Grand Lodge. About half-past 0
o'clock the Boston Encampment of Knights
Templar marched from their armory In the
new Masonlo Temple to Free Masons' Hall,
where they received the Grand Lodge and Pre
sident Johnson, and escorted them to tbe new
Temple.
Tbe Dedication Ceremonies.
After some Informal ceremonies the Grand
Lodge was opened, and the dedicatory services
took place, M. W. Grand Master C. C. Dame
officiating. During tbe progress of the dedica
tion the procession to reoelve the Grand Lodge
formed on the Common, and the scene tbat this
blstorlo ground presented defies description.
Nothing like it was ever seen In Boston.
Tbe procession oommenoed moving about
noon, and tbe President accompanied It
throughout the entire route. It Is now moving,
and extends many miles In length. Maay of
the banners are remarkably splendid, and the
regalia, particularly that of the Knights Tem
plar, Is exceedingly rich and costly.
Tbe Philadelphia Delegation.
Tbe Philadelphia delegation Is headed by
Bon. Richard Yaux. This body makes a re
ef cc table appearance, and reflects ciedit on tbe
Quaker City.
A Feature.
A feature Of the procession Is the superior
class of men In line. Every participator not In
Knight Templar uniform Is dressed In a full
black suit, and white gloves and white apron.
The People and Mr. Johnson.
Tbe President Is well received by the street
throng, as the oarrlage containing him, which
Is drawn by four horses, makes Its appearance.
Tbe ceremoulea will be concluded with an
oration at Boston Music Hall by the Rev. Wm.
S. Btudlcy. Past Grand Chaplain of the Grand
Lodge of Massachusetts.
An Ancient Bible.
An Interesting feature connected with the
dedication of the new ball consists In the fact
that the same Bible was used on which Wash
lng ton was sworn In as President of the United
States.
Another Reception.
On to-morrow, at 914 o'clock, the President
will be received at the State House by tbe
Governor. From the State House the President

Horrible Suicide in Sprianfteld, Mass.

most horrible suicides ever beard of was com
mitted in this city on Saturday morning. A
widow named Maria Gilmore, who lived alone,

bowels, which were found detached from hor
body in a pall of water beside ber. The floor
was covered with a great pool of blood, and on
the table was a whetstone with which she had
sharpened tbe knife before beginning her "hari

Italian Finances. The proposal of tlie new
Italian Finance Minister to raise the land, tax
from 139,000,000 to 200,000,000 has produced
great alarm in the provinces of Lombard and
Piedmont. Several of the landowners in these
provinces have already been compelled, in
consequence of the pressure of this tax, to sell
their estates at a great loss, and it is expected
that a further rise will bring the agriculture
of Northern Italy to a complete standstill. The
corn imported from France and the East is
already lower in prioe than that produced at
home, and the tax on a square kilometre of
land in Italy, where the development of agri
culture is hampered by want of capital and
brigandage, is 540 francs, while in France,
which has no such difficulties to contend with,
it is only 370 francs.
