Fourth St. Gould’s St. Louis Directory 1879. : This is the eighth annual volume of this work published by Mr. Gould. It has stead- ily progressed in excellence and completeness from the first, and the present may be put down as the best St. Louis Directory ever pubjished—strongly contrasting with the fratidulentaffair of ten yearg ago. The ex- tended introduction contains a large amount of yaluable matter relating to the river and railway systems of the city, and the results of their agencies in carrying on the commerce of a great metropolis. The directory also con- tains a mew and cemplete street directory, gotten up ata heavy expense. In fact the publisher has never spared labor or expense to produce-a work that should be entirely ac- ceptable to his fellow citizens; and as a good direetory is an absolute necessity to every professional and business man, they can not better show their appreciation gf faithful and honest work than by extending their pat- rohage. The increase in the names contained in the directory indicates a greater improvement in population than during any year since 1870. The general delivery of the directory can not be made before the 14th of this month. Temperance Meeting. The temperance meeting last night at St. George’s Hall was very largely attended, not- withstanding the threatening weather. Short and effective speeches were made by Dr. Jobn. Ss. Moore and G. W. Brantley, which were followed by an able and extended speech by Charles M. Nye. Excel- lent music was furnished by the choir of the Anchor Lodge of Good Templars. During the exercises two beautiful solos were excel- lently rendered by Mr. WN, _ Hall Todd. a well known amateur. A large number of names were added to the pe- titions to the Legislature asking for the con- stitutional prohibition, and also to the od the of total abstinence. Mr. Nye ponesaee factthat be had come to stay, and t meetings would be held at the same sleet yt Sunda Nye wll Next Thursday, April 17, Mr. Ny ak at the Fourtn Baptist Church, Twelfth and North Market streets, rpon the invitation of Coming Star Lodge of Good Templars. |The general | Yan away. ile , Lawrence & Co., | It | halves of the pier. shed was a large quantity of goods left over | from Saturday given | owners of FAR AWAY FLAMES.

TENEMENT HOUSES. New associations for the building of im- proved tenement houses are forming, anda morning paper remarks there is reason tu hope that the poorer classes may yet be housed as comfortably as horses and dogs are. At pres- ent many common stables in New York are cleaner, better lighted and better aired than some of the profitable tenements. THE RIDER TO THE BILL. A Herald Washington special says:,The nine days’ debate in the House on the army bill did a great deal of good. A better understanding between the parties, and the prospects for a shortsession growing brighter. The debate eliminated from the controversy the assump- tion of the Republicans, that putting a rider on an appropriation bill was a reyo- lutionary act, and the measure in itself so offensive tothe President that he would be justified in vetoing the bill on that account alone. There is some reason to believe that the President has been persuaded that he could justify ’the veto on the simple ground that there was a rider onthe appropri- but Gen. Gartield’s frank admis- ‘int, last Friday, show this opin- cer cntertained. Bad results a veto. KILLED ON ACCOUNT OF A BIRD, A young man named Thomas Hewitt was sloomfield, a saloon-keeper, and died yesterday. time ago Glennon matched one of his game cocks against a bird owned bv Frank Daner, and Hewitt bet fifty cents on Glennon’s bird. The latter was so badly used up by Daner’s bird that Glennon concluded it would die and gave it up to Hewitt. Under bis careful attention it be- came as vigorous and gamey as _ it ever had been. Then Glennon wanted it baek and finally secured it again. Always after that when the two met the game cock was an object of contention between the men. One night a quarrel over the matter, in Giennon’s saloon, resulted in Hewitt’s being beaten and _ thrown out of the place. On Saturday Glennon fa- tally shot Hewitt, the ball penetrating the lat- ter’s intestines at three points. The murder- er was in this city yesterday, and under- stood to be in Brooklyn to-day.

RoME, April 7.—A more pathetic scene than that on Garibaldi’s arrival at the railway sta- tion has seldom been bebeld. Shouts were raised as the train entered, but speedily silenced by the circulation of a report that the General was ill. Ile was carried from the train on a mattress placed _ ON A LARGE LITTER. He lay extended and motionless, with his eyes closed and a red handkerchief around his head. It looked as though a corpse was be- ing carried in state. It was found impossible to move him from the litter, which was placed in an open carriage and diiven, accompanied by the mournfully silent crowd, to the house of his son, Menotti Garibaldi. It was impos- sible to move the General at Civita Vecehia. The side of the railway saloon was cut te ad- mit the litter. The General slept well, how- ever, on Saturday night, and the doctor thinks he will leave his bed within a week. His friends assert POLITICS are wholly unconnected with his coming here.

PETERSBURG, April 7.—As a measure which will tend to somewhat conciliate the peasantry throughout the empire and relicve them to some extene from the heavy pecuniary burdens now cresting upon them, the Imperial Chancellor has proposed to the Czar to abolish the annual payments due by them under the Imperial decree of 1863, which pay- ments were to coutinue for forty-nine years, and were known as the ‘‘Obrok’’ or poll tax. The 22,000,000 serfs who belonged to pri- vate individuals and who were set free by the decree of March, 1861, were required to pay a certain sum down to their former mas- ters, and to pay also another certain annual sum to the Government for the next 49 years. There were also 22,225,000 peasants belonging to the crown, and those were granted lands in severalty, for which they were to pay in annual installments, extending over 49 years, the annual payment being equal to the ‘‘Obrok,’’ which they formerly paid as head money. These payments ~ have now been made for. fifteen years and the present proposal is to abolish future pay- ments, which otherwise would not be com- pleted until the year 1,912. A COWARD CHAMPION.

He had atrunk, an only trunk, garnished with a lock sworn to be worth $1. Lee doesn’t carea map forthe trunk, it’s the loss of that $1 lock that wrings his celes- tial bosom with agony. On top of this his wearing apparel, that.is, two silk handker- chiefs fully and fairly worth a dollar and a half, woven by the flying fingers of the dimpled maidens on the blue Pei-ho, and full of asso- ciations of home and childhood, are gone, and left not a rack behind.

Catholic Priests, and Dr. Falconer Makes an Onslaught on the Press. The ministers convened this morning in the directors’ rooms of the Mercantile Library to hear the report of the committee that bas just returned from Jefferson City after looking af- terthe marriage license law. Among those present were: | Drs. Houghton, Lewis, Snyder, Post, Rhodes, J. G. Wilson, Porteus, Holland, Brank, J. H. Wilson, Reed, Goodell, Bishop Robertson, and a number of others. This morning’s meeting was not as well attended as those heretofore. Drs.. Hall and Lewis reperted concerning the progress of the bill, that, after some changes of minor importance, Mr. Reagan, of Jackson, had offered the amendment that each minister file with the clerk of the court a certificate of his good moral standing in the community, and receive ,an acknowledgment of it. Many of the doctors expressed their opposition to the phrase ‘‘of good moral standing.’’ Dr. Hoiland explained that the object of inserting the words was to prevent tramping evangelists who conduct revivals in country places,and who are irresponsible parties, from solenmizing marriage. He further stated that apn attempt to change this would be certain death to the passage of the bill. The meeting then determined to adopt the report of the committee. On motion of Dr. Lewis, Dr. L. P. Healy, of the Christian Chureh, was appointed rep- resentative of the meeting at Jefferson City. Dr. Snyder, secretary of the meeting, read a communication from Dr.Sonnescheiv, asking to be excused, as he was detained from being present at the meeting by unforeseen circum- stances. Dr. Holland then arose and in a brief speech suggested measure = fail the to form a league. himselfand Dr. snyder had examined the books in the Recorder’s office and found that only thirteen Catholic churches, and those were all German, had registered their mar- riages in the Recorder’s office. A committee sheuld be appointed to examine the books of the cfice every month and see that the Protentant clergy record their mar- riages, and then they would see Whether the Catholics would violate the law, fer they would bring the matter before the grand jury. He said that their petition now before the Legislature only represented individuals, the fifty clergy who had drawn it up, while a Catholie priest represent- ed a thousand persons who would obey bis commands. For this reason, he thought that the Protestant clergy should unite themselves; The expressions of those present at the con- clusion of Dr. Ilolland’s speech showed that they agreed with the sentiments. As criticism seemed to be in order Dr. Falconer arose and commented quite severely on the press. He said that when a- Catholic bishop or priest fell, the item was placed’ where no one would pe likely to find k-ahd the papers of the country pied the mishap, but ‘‘if a poor devil-of a Protesfint minister should fall the newspapers would top the ar- ticle with headlines the length of your arm to show that that was the class they were.’’ The Doctor made no exception, but Dr. - Snyder arose and said that be wished to offer an amendment to what Dr. Falconer said, ‘*that ‘in reference to Bishop Purcell’s detic- iency the Western Watchman, which is Cath- olic in character, said that it was a ‘complete swindle.’ ’’ On motion of Dr. Holland the meeting ad- journed, to meet subject to the call of the chairman. On motion of Dr. Holland Dr. F. P. Healy, of the Christian Church, was appointed re- presentative of the meeting at Jefferson City.
