“ Carl Schurz dined last evening with 250 citizens of Massachusetts whose invitation had brought him to Boston that he might receive from them an expression of their appreciation of his services as Secretary of the Interior and in other public places. The scores of honored names which appear in the report that follows give weight to the compliment paid Mr. Schurz, and the earnestness and enthusiasm of the gathering raised it far above the suspicion of mere formality. The demonstration was successful in everything that goes to make a success. ”

“ Dr. Clarke, combining playfulness and earnestness, but with the true patriotic spirit pervading all; Mr. Pierce, eloquent and logical; Dr. De Gersdorff, full of remembrances of the old land and of love for the new; and Col. Lyman, brimming over with humor and good feeling. The beginning and the end of the Chairman's opening address were marked by enthusiastic cheering, and the frankness and vigor of his words aroused the greatest enthusiasm. When he introduced Mr. Schurz that gentleman was greeted with nine cheers, given standing. ”

“ The ceiling of the apartment is of pearly white, lined and cross-lined with heavy moldings. From it depend chandeliers of hammered brass, each of which bore last evening a cluster of golden lights, above and below which was wreathed a profusion of laurel, in which was embedded scarlet geranium blossoms that glowed like great rubies. ”
