Moose, the “Parsce” of the World newspaper, contributes to the current number of the North American Reuiew,a val uable and entertaining article on the silver question iu which the immediate causes of the fall of silver are set forth, and its futuio use as a standard of value discussed. From 1849,the year of the discovery of the immense gold deposits in California, up to 1870 the re lative value of silver to gold was, as everyone knows singularly steady. Since the latter date the fluctuations of silver have been wide. The disturbance in the monetary standard ap pears to have had its origin, as Mr. Moore poiuts out, in a national quarrel. It came about thus: In 1865 the celebrated Latin monetary convention came into existence. This convention consists ot France, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland. The agreement was to coin pieces in silver of one and five francs respectively, and live, teu aDd twenty franc gold pieces, at the rate of 15£ fine silver to one, fiae gold, thus giving to more than sixty millions of the most thriving and in dustrious people of Europe a uniform curren cy and a uniform standard. Had the other nations of Europe enter ed iulo this conven tion it would have been easy, Mr. Moore thinks, to have maintained the relative value of the two metals. But in 1870 the Franco-German war broke out. From that war Germany came out a united country, under the rule of one federal cicinu. uuu ui me nrst wants ot tne new sovereignty was a uniform coinage. The thaler and silver groschen of Prussia, the gulden and kreutzer of Bavaria, mark and schilling of the Hanse towns, and the florins and rix dollars of South Germany, were dis placed by the mark and its multiples. Ger many would have done wisely to have adopted the frauc system of the Latin union. Instead of that she adopted another unit of account, and, to the astonishment of the world, declared her intention to demonetize silver, a metal which made up eighty per cent, of her circulation. No satisfactory reason has ever been given for this bold step, though it is surmised that a dislike of the Latin union, a desire to imitate England, and a belief that a simple gold standard' would place Germany at an advantage in future wars, all influenced the taking of it. Once decided upon the plan was speedily carried out. An immense amount of silver was thrown upon the markets of the world, and its price begaD to fall. The Latin union, finding they were beiDg depleted of their gold, at once restricted their silver coinage, and thus shut up one great avenue for the use ot silver as money. Thus in two years Germany put into the market four hundred million dollars of silver, aDd the Latin States during the same time began to restrict their silver coinage. But other causes soon began to operate upon silver. The Nevada mines in 1872 began to produce largely in creased amounts of the metal, nearly doubling the quantity formerly annually mined. Then the drawing of bills by the East India Council in London on India developed and increased steadily, and thus shut out a custo mer that otherwise would have come for silver to Europe. While an enormous amount oi tne metal was seeking a market, two of the largest channels for its use were obstructed. Another cause for depression was soon alter added. The Indian and Chi nese products for which silver is paid have been since 1874 very low in price, and it there fore takes less silver to purchase a larger quantity of Eastern commodities. In conse quence silver steadily fell until last summer, when it had depreciated 22 per -cent. It has rallied since then, bat is still subject to con siderable fluctuations in value. It is in this condition of affairs that the proposition is advanced to make the sitve r dollar in this country an unlimited legal ten der. But so long as the metal is subject to wide fluctuations it will be a mere article of merchandise, quite unfit for use as a stan dard of 7alue. Still, Sir. Sloore is not with out hope that the United States may again have a bi-metallic standard. If the value of silver can be made stable there is no reason, why it should not be used as money. Our writer holds that its monetization by the United Slates would not give it stability, but that it the remonetization should bo author ized by a Congress of Nations the desired re sult would he achieved. Probably England and Germany would not join the movement, but the Latin union would gladly unite with the United States, Holland, Russia, and Aus tria. Silver is almost exclusively used by the teeming millions of Asia. Should it be again taken up by the Latin union and its contemplated allies the combination would be so powerful that all future fluctuations of the metal would practically cease. This is the theory of M. Cernuschi, and it is forti fied by the assent of the best money authori ties in Europe. What is known as the metric system of weights and measures is to be adopted as the legal standard in Massachusetts by order of the legislature. It has for some time been printed in the common arithmetic and taught in many of the New England academies. The new system in the regularity of its divisions, bears the same relative superiority to our present arbitrary scale of weights and measures as United States currency does to English pounds, shillings and pence of the days of our grandfathers. The new method mou oi,ui ouciua GuiiijuitjaLcu, auu tuac will De a natural reluctance among conserva tive people to abandon the familiar scales. The simplicity of the metric system will in time, however, commend it to general favor. It has already been adopted by France, Ger many, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy and South America. It has been legalized in this country and Great Britain, made obligatory in British India, and will be soon universally used in Russia. California has made remarkable pro gress in developing an extended system of railways. Of the four thousahd miles of rail road in the Pacific states and territories the golden land has nearly one-half. The fact that California built over fourteen per cent, of all the road constructed iu the United States during 1876 is proof of her industry in that direction. The Southern Pacific is go ing rapidly forward. It is the intention to extend the North Pacific Coast road up Rus siau-river Valley, and ultimately to Hum boldt Bay, tapping a rich agricultural region and the inexhaustible supply of redwood timber arouud that bay. It is probable I'.hat for 1877, as in 1876, the southern part of the state will secure the lion’s share ol new ro;uJ. Lynchburg as a great centre lor the to bacco trade. last year there were sold in the warehouses ot the city*-6,000,000 pounds ol leaf tobacco, the largest annual sale in her history, and larg ar than in ouy other Virginia city. There aro now fully 100 tobacco facto ries engaged in ^,he successful manufacture of tebaccoiu its vacuous forms, and employing a very large amoun, t ol capital and labor. Municipal politics are somewhat involved in St. Louis. The two candidates for Mayor are Republicans, and the remainder ot one of the tickets is composed ot Democrats, and ol the other of Democrats and Republicans. The first ticket is supported by one of the Democratic dailies, and the second by the other. The election will occur to-morrow and will place the city completely uader the new charter. That instrument gives wide power and responsibility to the Mayor, and provides for an Assembly composed of two houses, one of them chosen by general ticket to represent the whole city, the other chosen to represent the wards, ample power being invested in the Assembly and tho executive officers to administer the affairs of a large in dependent municipality, but with their au thority to levy and expend taxes and contract debt rigorously limited. It is somewhat of an experiment in municipal government and its success remains to be decided. From some recently published statistics It appears that Russia possesses greater re sources in horses available lor military pur poses thau any other nation io Europe. Ger many comes next on the list, being possessed of au aggregate number of 3,352,231 horses of all kinds. Of these uo less than 2,209,329 belong to Prussia alone, and 78,530 to the Prussian army. The Austro-nungariau Em pire follows, owning within a very few thou sands as many steeds as Germany; but Prauce, which comes next on the list, cannot count by nearly half a million as many horses S3 her neighbor on the east. Tiie decision of the Supreme Court iu the matter of the Portland Liquor Agency, which attracted so much attention two years ago, will be found elsewhere. It will be remem bered that Judge Knight decided against the agent. The Democrats made a bitter fight in the matter and fiercely attacked the opinion given by Mr. Reed, the City Solicitor. It is gratifying to observe that the Supreme Court sustains this opinion entirely, bolding tuat the prosecution of the agent cannot bo maintained. Thjc summit level of the Panama Railroad is only 262 leet above the sea, and it is be lieved that a much lower elevation might be discovered in the near vicinity. Tide-water makes Irom the Pacific to within about three miles in a direct line of the summit, while the valley of the Rio Grande approaches, with a deep depression, to within a stone’s throw of the divide. The Panama Star and Herald argues that the construction of a ca nal on this route is feasible. I Washington Correspondent Boston Advertiser. March 31.) The South Carolina Question. A Settlement Fareahadowed—Views «f the Rival Geverneri. The plan of the President, to which he is trying to obtain Chamberlain’s assent, Is to have a session of the legislature, and that the members of the bouse whose seats are not dis puted be allowed to decide upon tbe eligibility of tbe Lanrens and Edgefield renresentatives, which was the bone of contention last Novem ber, and caused a division ol the legislature. After this question is settled the legislature could proceed to canvass tbe votes for state offi cers, as required by law, and which has been doue already by tbe Chamberlain legislature. This would doubtless elect Hampton, if no votes were thrown out, and the President could formally recognize him. In the meantime the plan is to let Chamberlain remain as governor, bolding over until the result is reached and Hampton inaugurated. Governor Chamber lain objects to this plan, because tbe election lu Laurens aud E Igefield counties was notoriously unfair, and more than one-half of the eolored voters were driven away from the polls. He claims that the Republican candidates from these counties ought to be admitted, it ia re ported that Mr Evatts is holding oat a temp tation to Chamberlain in the shape of an ap pointment as minister to Switzerland, which Is offered him in case tbe legislature counts in uaiufjiuu, ac iucj ccumuij WUU1U UO UDUOr the above plao. It is also stated that Chamber lain refuses to be lempted, and will be either governor of Sooth Carolina or a private citizen. In case he adheres to this decision, the alterna tive will be left him of sustaining himself in power witbent the aid of troops. Chamberlain declares positively that he will not agree to any such compromise as is proposed. He says that be cannot do so in jnstioe to his constituents; that it would be selling oat his party and the state for a temporary personal advantage. If he makes a fight, he says, be will have a future before him as a public man; if he makes terms he has no political future before him. Cham berlain says he will not yield without a strag gle, and that if he is saeriQged be will make it an issue in the north and will have a verdict of the Northern people upon it. Hampton also declines to accede to this plan to reconveoe the legislature and gi, over the tight. He says he is governor and has been so declared by the high est judicial authority iu tbe state. If the troops are withdrawn he asks uothing further. The senatorial question also comes in as apart of the dispute under the plan proposed. After a reorganization of the legislature a new elect on far senator would lake place, but neither Cor bin uor Butler will agree to that. Butler says he will demand admittance to the senate on his present credentials. It they will not admit him ou those he will go hack and demand a new election. In the interviews betweeu Hampton and the President and the several members of the Cabi net the arguments that have been repeated over and over again were renewed, the main one in favor of his recognition being that he was already, practically, governor of the state, while Chambelaio simply held the state house. They claim that live out ot the eight circuit judges in the state have recogniztd Hampton already by judicial decree; a sixth has held in a decisiou from tbe bench, that neither Cham berlain uor Hampton were legally inaugurated; that the electiou has uot been legally settled In the absence of action by tbe legislature, and that Chamberlain simply hulds over as govern or until his successor shall be qualified for tbe office, and that tbe other two judges have made no decisions affecting the question of tbe gov ernorship. The chief justice of the Supreme Conrt of the state recently died, but before his death he concurred in declaring in uontempt tbe returning board which gave Chamberlain bis certificate. The two associate justices have since concurred in a decision recognizing Hamp ton, although one of them Wright, colored) afterward published a revocation of the deciai on, explaining that he was compelled to sign it to save his life, Hampton claims, however, t bay this explanation was made to molify the indig nant Republicans, and points to the fact that Wrigbt has since drawn his salary from the Hampton treasury as corroborative evidenee Hampton claims that he hasoollected $120,000 iu taxes, wbileChamberlain has collected noth IUf£ y IUH», U« UHO )UU|/pul IJU 41UU1 IUUSP W UCV tioosibe stats penitentiary and state charitable institutions, and that all judges recognize bim so far as to draw their salaries from hi* treas ury. These are tbe statements that Hampton and his friends are making to influence the mind of the President. Chamberlain admits that many of them are true in fact, bat are sus ceptible of explanation. In regard to taxes, ha says the money has been paid in voluutarilj by wealthy Democrats, and that others bare been bull-dozed and made to pay. He shows that oue of the democratio newspapers threatened to publish a list ol merchants iu the state who declined to pay tribute to Hampton, which would at once deprive them of tbe entire cas totn of Democrats. This induced many to pay. Iu regard to the recognition of Hampton by tbe six circuit conn judges, Chamberlain and his friends claim tbat petty cases were trumped up iu which decisions were made which could be construed, by liberal couces sioas, to be a recognition of Hampton The integrity of some of the judges is also chal lenged. The worse phase of the Hampton case Is, that his immediate snpportersand advocate* are men who have been active in kn-klax and rifle-club murders. Sitting Bull Butler, tbe leader ot the Hambnrg massacre, stands nearer Hampton than any other man, and was elected to tbe Senate by tbe Hampton legislature. The lieutenant-governor under Uamptoo, a tnau named Simpson, was the leader of tbe Laurens massacre two years ago, when five white Republicans were taken out of their bonees and shot dowu. The Republicans claim that Hampton and everyone of bis im mediate supporters are guilty of murder, and would have been puuisbed for their crimes in any Northern state. Duriog tbeir interview the President asked Gov. Chamberlain to submit in writing to him a basis of compromise which might be consid ered by tllampton. According to this request Gov. Cbamberlaiu drew up a proposition with which the -President was very much pleased Gov. Chamberlain declines to state tbe terms of the proposition, but it can be stated as cer tain that he consented to a reconvening of the legislature and a recauvass ot tbe votes, pro vided there could be some tribunal to decide on the admission of tbe members from the disput ed counties.

[Chicago Tribune.] Boston Humor. The inimitable Tom Corwin could in his day skip jokes which would convulse a Western man into a Boston audience, and not provoke a smile. He used to get very much provoked aboutjt The trouble was that he didn’t have the precise straw with which to tickle the ribs of that peculiar people. It has now come in the person of the liev. Joseph Cook, one of whose sermons appeared in the Tribune yester dtze as the living, and Herbert Spencer the setting, star in philosophy,” remarks Cook, and “great applause” succeeds. “Ekasto sum laakoi pantes!" shouts Cook, and the Boston men shut up like jack-knives, convulsed with emotion. “Generation by fission and gemmation are not confined to the simplest form of life,” he insinuates, and each son of a Puritan tucks his thumb into the waist of his neighbor and »ll“g° off together. “The protoplasm or Sar coae theory that albuminous material is the active substratum of all vital phenomena.” bd,cucij icuiaiaa uruiuer WOOK, IS MOULIU 10 the core.” “Are you shy about accepting?’* lie archly asks, and forthwith seventeen of the polid men of Boston have to be carried out m apoplectic shivers where fresh air will revive them. The fact is that these people have al ways been like other men, mirthful ard en thusiastic, but nobody has known how to rouse them. It takes protoplasm, bioplasm, and all that sort of thing to waken them. Let Western ministers of oratorical ambition, who contemplate visiting the modern Athens, make u note of this. Give the Hubites no ordinary humor, approach them with no common argu ments, but put it to them thus: “True mor phological units, without cell-wall or primor dial utricle, but endowed with bioplasmic en tity and protoplasmic longevity, tilled with the flowing possibilities of agamogenesis, clad in nucleated shell, aggregated by the eternal affin ity of morphological units, sanctified by fission and gemmation, glorified Dy molecular attrac tion, and born in Boston, shall inherit life ever lasting.’* Such a sentence as that will clean the bnttons off a Beacon street burgher’s vest quicker than lightning. It will knock his skep ticism into Hinders in a minute, and cause him to bellow for salvation as the ox loweth for its master’s crib. The Christian mission employs 220 agents and spends §350,000 a year to convert Jews in Europe. The most successful work has been done in London, where there have been 1395 baptisms, but the mission at Rome, which has been open several years, does not count a sin gle convert. This country, northern Africa and Russia, which have large and growing Jewish populations, are especially destitute of missions. Speak'mg of Utah’s lack of educational fa cilities, the Salt Lake Tribune says; “The Mormon priesthood perfidiously discourage and binder the diffusion of education. At this mo ment the energies and means of their impov erished followers are strained to the utmost to uproar cosily temples when there is not a schoal house worthy of the name (save one or two mission schools) in the land.” BY TELEGRAPH. MAINE PARRICIDE. A SAD AFFAIR IN BOWDOIN.

A Boy Shoots His Father for Reproving Him for Disturbing Meetings. [Special to tlie Press] Lisbon Falls, March 31.—Last night while Deacon Alfred Cox’s son was it> church sitting with other boys making some slight disturb ance, the father told the son to go forward and occupy another seat. The son took his hat and left the church, the father following imme diately. Taking him by the arm he began talking to him, when the boy wrenched himself from his father’s grasp and ran home, which was about a quarter of a mile from the meeting house. Seizing a large shot gun, he overtook his father as he was nearing the house and dis charged the weapon into his stomach, killiDg him almost instantly. He lived a few minutes sod spoke to his son. The boy'now realizing what he had done, tan to the church aDd in formed the congregation of his terrible deed. The excitement was intense. Nothing like this has ever happened in the quiet town of Bowdoin. This boy has always been regarded as a quiet and peacable lad. He is the only sou and the father set the world by him. The boy has been arrested. [To the Associated Press.] Convicted of murder. Paris, March 31.—In the case of State vs. Ianthe E. Morgan and another, Mr. Hast ings opened for the defence yesterday and called the two respondents to the stand who testified to the circumstances attending the death and burial of the child, explaining what ever threats they had made and the acts and circumstances more or less suspicious, and tendiDg to establish the theory that the child came to its death from disease or from an over dose ol alcohol given it by Mrs. Crooker be fore she bronght it to Libby’s.

Washington, March 31 —Four Cabinet offi cers pronounce as untrue the statement that the Cabinet to day decided to withdraw tbe troops from the State House at Columbia. Gov. Chamberlain, who had a conference with Secretaries Evaits and Schurz, continuing sev eral hours, late this afternoon, says the question under discussion precluded th3 proposition to withdraw the troops, and that contrary to the report he had received nothing whatever on that subject from tbe President.

He has not yet received a reply to his letter deliv ered yesterday, assuring the President that he could and would secure freedom, peace and equality to both the white and colored citizens nt the state as soon as the troops were with drawn, but intimating that he would consent to no bargain or compromise whatever. Hamp ton declines to furnish a copy ol the letter for publication unless tbe President so desires.

She accused him of calling her names which he denies. Shs gave a bond in &300 to keep the peace. WASHINGTON Rumored Hnrgain Between Southern Republican* and Democrats. Washington, March 51.—It is reported on respectable authority that bargains have boen already made with three Southern Republican Senators and thirteen Republican Representa tives in Congress to act hereafter with the Democrats on all political questions. They resent their abandonment by President Hayes, and declare that their personal safety demands that they make terms at once with the Dem ocrats. The immediate object is to give tbe control of both houses of Congress to the Democrats. President Hayes’ friends think this will only promote dissension among the whites of the South, aud hasten the fruitage of the President s policy. Various. Repoits to the Post Office Department show that within the past three months 132 detections and arrests have been made for robbing mails and other violations of postal laws. A letter from Gen. Koutz, commanding the department of Arizona shows that the many reports of Indian depredations are entirely unfounded, that the remainder are greatly exaggerated, and that the troope have done their duty faithfully notwithstanding Gov. Stafford’s statement to the centrary. A gentleman who spent two hours with Lawrence and Harlan of the Louisiana com mission this afternoon, says they have not yet received instructions, nor have the commis sion agreed upon a plan of proceedings. Attorney General Devens had a meeting with Harlan and Lawrence to-night, on tbe subject of their mission to Louisiana. LOUISIANA.

We must prepare to resist the decree if it is un favorable, the House is unquestionable Dem ocratic, acd will never give oue dollar for the army until our people are free. Patience and a bold assertion of our rights will bring us victory in the end. The Reading Railroad Co. and the Coco, motive Brotherhood.

All the prisoners at Chico have been removed to the jail in Oroville, tho county seat, and every precaution lias been taken to render their escape or rescue impossible.

Livkbpool, March 31.—The steamer Victo ria, from Boston the 17th, has arrived. A rep resentative of the New England Associated Press, personally acquainted with and on the lookout for ex-Mayor Hall several dayp, board ed the Victoria at 2 in the morning, tie learn ed that a gentleman answering Hall’s descrip tion was aboard upder tbe name of Sutliffe. He arose at daylight and was found in the cab in examining the iog. Hall was immediately recognized. He had about a fortnight’s growth of moustache and whiskers, and was dressed in old clothes, dark bine shirt, red scarf, small common cap, and spectacles instead of tbe customary eye glasses. The reporter asked to see him privately, and he led tbe way to his stateroom. The reporter said—A. Oakey Hall disappear ed from New York a fortnight ago and is. be lieved to be on the steamer Victoria. Hall replied—Well, what of that? 1 told him I kuew Hall perfectly by sight and he was tbe man. He replied that I was mistaken. T tnlrl him T know ho was Hall* that hio fam. ily were terribly anxious and his friends in New York were much excited about him, He asked why they should be excited and then made some remark about the weather in an unconcerned way and then went out to breakfast. He lepeatedly denied that he was Hall and told me he was on his way to Bristol. After breakfast he left the ship. As I helped him down the ladder he asked me if I had found my friend yet. He now wore an old ulster overcoat. On landing he went to the office of Warren Co., agents of the Victoria, thence to the telegraph office, and finally to the Northwest ern railway station, where he took a second class ticket and left by the noon train for Lon don, due at London station at 5.15 p. w. Another Account. Sutlifle, the passenger who arrived to-day, proceeded by train to London. He strenuouslv denies that he is A. Oakey Hall. He is me dium height, dressed as describe in the previous despatch, and walks with a swinging gait. His face has recently been shaved clean, and is now covered with a rough gray stubble. At Euston station he employed a porter who took two black Japanese leather, carpet bags, marked “G,” and a roll of rags. They walked to the lower street station of the Metropolitan underground railway, where the porter left his companion and the latter took a third class ticket for Notting Hill gate station. He was evidently unacquainted with the route, for he enquired frequently of his fellow passengers. He seemed nervous. At the destination he took a cab and drove to a small quiet private bouse near by. He was evidently expected, as the door opened without a ring or a knock, and he passed in immediately with his luggage. He was not met at the station by any acquaint ance; at least, he was not recognized by any one. The steward of the steamer Victoria volun teers the information that the passenger giving the name of “Sutlifle” was the greatest fellow for making puns he ever met. The gentleman who saw Sutlifle at Liverpool and held a conver.- ation with him, as related in the former despatch, is confident that there is no mistake about his being A. Oakey Hall. New Yoke, April 1.—Enquiry at Oakey Hall’s residence elicited the information that his family had heard nothing whatever from the missiDg man. They are bewildered by ac counts published of his arriving at Liverpool and if it is really him they cannot account for his continued silence. Vanderpool has beard nothiog from Hall, but believes the reports of his being in England are correct. FOREIGN. Foreign Notes. It is officially announced that the protocol has been signed. La France says this act vir tually abrogates the Treaty of Palis and thinks Russia will soon proclaim that result. Derviset Pasha has been appointed Governor of Salonica. Princess Charlotte, the eldest daughter of Crown Prince Frederick William of Prussia, has been formally betrothed to the hereditary prince of Saxe Meiningen.

An Express'train (built and equipped expressly for thi9 line) will be run by the Boston Providence Railroad, leaving Boston at 6 00 p. m. daily (Sundays excepted), making the run to Fox Point wharf, Prov idence, distance 42 miles, in about one hour. The Providence Liue, in the character and equip ment of its Steamers, and its direct railroad connec tions with the South and West, will otter to the trav elling public advantages possessed by no other line. For this purpose it is intended to run the magnifi cent and well-known Steamer “Rhode Island’’ in connection with the new and elegant Steamer “Massachusetts,” bnilt expressly for tnis route, and fitted in a manner unequalled for comfort, elegance and safety. On both Steamers the Dining Room is on the main deck, presenting an unobstructed view of the passing scenery, and the luxury of taking meals in pure, sweet air, avoiding the close, vitated atmospnere of a saloon cabin Ko other Sound steamers possess these great improvements. These superb steamers will run from Providence to New York direct, making no intermediate landings, thereby assuring an early arrival in New York. D. S. BABCOCK, Pres'l, A. A.

Prosecution of Liquor Agent Weeks Dis missed—Judge Knight Orerrulcd. It will he recollected that in 1875 daring the administration of Mayor Bicbardson, a lively controversy arose between the Mayor and Boaid of Aldermen, which was Bepublican, concerning the election of Liquor Agent. The Board elected Mr. Weeks, and contended not withstanding the Mayor’s refusal to concur that he was legally qualified to act. The Mayor held the liquor agent was an officer and that he must be appointed by him in order to be legally qualified. Mr. lteed, who was then City Solicitor gave itashisopinontbat the agen cy for the sale of liqours is not an office but simply an employment, and that Mr. Weeks' election by the Board of Alderman was suffi cient without the concurrence of the Mayor. Mr. Weexs was prosecuted and Judge Knight held that the agency was an office, and that therefore Mr. Weeks must be appointed by the Mayor. The case was carried to the Law Court on exception and the decision has just been announced. It will be seen from the rescript that Mr. Beed’s view is fully sustained. STATE V. WILLIAM WEEKS. Rescript—An agent for the sale of intoxica ting liquors is cot a city or town officer. His situation is not an office but an employment, which ceases, if not renewed, at the end of a year. He does not hold over until his succes nnr in nhnspn hv virtnA nf app. 9i! p HRS* nor is the mode of liis appointment provided by sec. 27 of that chapter, bnt chapter 2ft, sections 26 and 27. The defendant was regularly and lawfully employed and appointed by a majority of the Board of Mayor god Aldermen, notwithstand ing the non-concurrence and protest of the Mayor; and this prosecution cannot be main tained.

OBNEBVANl'E OF THE DAY IN OUK CHURCHES. l» 1 floral Decorations, Music and Ser mons. i _____ j Under the rule laid down by the Council of Nice, Easter fell this year upon the first day of j April and yesterday the Christian church cele firated the resurrection of the Saviour. The I gloom and sorrow of the Lenten season gave Place to joy and gladness, as the words came from the Sepulchre to the believers, “He is not here, he is risen.” The day was as joyous as the event which It commemorated. The morn ling sun rose bright and clear and the sir was rwarm and spring-like. The churches were thronged with worshippers,and in nearly all of them services appropriate to the day were held. Indeed, it is somewhat curious to note how prevalent the custom of Easter observance has become. Not many years ago outside the Ro man and Anglican churches the day was suf fered to pass unnoticed. Now hardly a clergy man who does not give it some token of recog ognition, hardly a choir which does chant its anthem to a risen Redeemer, hardly a sacred desk which does not bear the emblematical flowers of spring. With each recurring year the custom is extending itself, and in the rear future the whole Christian world will sing in unison on Easter morn, “Christ the Lord is risen to-day.” FIRST PARISH. The floral display at the First Parish church was very beautiful and characterized by ex quisite taste. From the brackets on the gal lerv wall small baskets of choice flowers and trailing vices were bung. The alcove in the rear of the sacred desk was edged about with evergreen, studded with great callas, while a cluster of callas knotted tbe meeting bands. Upon the desk were vases filled with rare exotics. Its body was quite hidden in masses of evergreen, from which many blossoms peeped out. The altar table was covered with memorial offerings, in accordance with tbe beautiful custom which obtains in this church. The offerings were naturally even more numerous than in former sears, time constantly widening the circle of mourners in the parish. Conspicuous among the offerings, all of which were very beautiful, was the vase of callas iu memory of Dr. Nicholls. The colors of the flowers were chiefly white and red, the emblematic colors of purity and pas sion, though one exquisite basket of roses of all hues was conspicuous upon a stand. In the organ loft bouquets were placed before the seat of each member of the choir. The reading was the twentieth chapter of tbe gospel of John. Dr. Hill selected his text from the same gospel,—chapter x, verse 17:— “Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.” His central theme was the Resurrection, its promise and its lessons. In the course of the sermon he referred to the reading, and stated as the probable reason why Jesus was cruci fied, that it was the most conspicuous mode of execution under the Roman law, so'conspicu ous that the fact of the execution could be denied by non9. So when Jesus rose from the dead he went into his own country, where he was known of all men, and was there seen for many days. Thus the two great central facts of the Christian religion, the Crucifixion and the R -surreetioD, were of so pnblic a nature, and so strongly sustained by human evidence, that there is no room for reasonable skep ticism. At three o’clock the annual joint Easter observance by the First Parish and Preble Chapel Sunday schools was held at the First Parish church, under charge of the superin tendents of the schools. It consisted of sing ing and responses by the schools, the singing of the Preble Chapel school being under the direction of Mr. E. A. Jordan, the efficient and devoted instructor of the school in mniic. Remarks appropriate to the occasion were made by Rev. Dr. Hill and Mr E. S. Williams of the Preble Chapel school read a beantiful Easter f oem. The penny eontribution of the First Parish school to the “Poor’s Purse” of Preble Chapel, amounting to over eight dollars, was presented by Mr. Burgess with apt re marks to Mr. Phelan, whe made a fitting response. Bouquets were presented to the officers of the Preble Chapel school and a small bonqnct to each pnpil. A fine basket of flowers was given to Mr. and Mrs. Phelan as a token of appreciation of their devoted and untiring labors in the ministry at large. Tbe exercises were very pleasant and the echools appeared admirably. The music at this church, under tbe direction of Mr. Kotzschmar, was of a very high order. The following is a list of the music at the morning and evening services: MORNING. Easter Anthem. .Lift up your stately heads. Hymn.Resurrection and ascension of Christ Hosanna to the Prince of Light. Hymn.. .Rise crowned with light imperial Salem lise Chant..Christ our Passover is sacriiisce lor us VESPER SERVICE. Gloria.by Danks Hymn—Angels roll the stone away.by Greatorix Easter Anthem.Danks Hrisagion.Dr. Hodges 'J’e Deuro.Kotzschmar Closing Hymn—SiDg we the song of tbe redeemed, W orthy the Lamb for sinners slain Coronation. ST PAUL’S CHURCH. i ivvs «i uii x d note tuaiBvu wj the usual special features of the great feast. The Easter anthem was sung to three chants, artistically arranged for it, in place ot the venite; the proper features and lessons of the day were read, and in the commemoration services the proper preface before the Trieagion was said. In other respects the services were like those of other Sundays, except, perhaps, in the greater devotion which the commemora tion of the day always produces. The sermon was on the text, Homans vi, 11, one of the verses of the Easter anthem, and, of course, treated of the great theme brought before all miuds by the day itself. The floral decorations in the chancels consisted of a large cross of red and white flowers on the super altar, flanked by vases of choice flowers. Un der the cross hnng a basket of vines and flow ers. From each of the chancel windows hung a flowering plant. Around the foot of the pul pit was a bank of of flowers in pots, compris ing azaleas, geraniums and fuchsias The fair linen cloth of the altar, which covered it on top, and front and sides, was beautifully cov ered in front with smilax and red flowers. Th tablet in memory of the first rector of the par ish was decorated with smilax and flowers. On the reading desk was an elegantly embroidered frontal of white silk, with the words, “I b3 lieve in the Kesurrection.” It was made by a lady who, more than fifty years ago, was a Sunday school scholar in old St. Paul’s church, the original parish. The font was covered with a wreath of leaves and flowers circling the top, from which bung smilax and other Tines. Several of the windows were appropri ated for memorials of deceased friends, and were ornamented with plants and flowers. One of them contained a basket of beautiful flow ers given by some of the members of the par ish in memory of Miss Louisa E. Small, the news of whose death in India was lately chron icled in onr paper. On the base of the window were the words, “In Memoriam.” Besides the services at 10.30 a. m. and 3 p. m., there was an early celebration of the Holy Communion at 7. Among the bymns.sung daring the day were “Jesus Christ is risen to-day, Alleluia,” “The Day of llesurrection,” “Jesus lives,” and “Christ the Lord is risen again.” Tha Te Deum was Thomas’ in Eb, in which the soles were very finely rendered. The alto solo was especially beautiful. CONGRESS SQUARE At Congress Square church the decorations wim nowers were elaborate and beautiful. All the space about the altsr was covered or set off with masses of evergreen and blossoms. Over 1 the arch in the rear of the desk ran tho motto i in evergreen letters, “I am the Resurrection and the Life.” Below it a great cross of ever green and callas, with one largo scarlet blos i som in the centre, was set against the wall. About the desk, on table and stand and pedes i tal, were baskets of elegant (lowers, and an 9 chors, crosses and lyres fashioned of blossoms. The anchor in the centre, a memorial offering, i was an object of general admiration. The me 3 monals were beautiful, and were more numer 1 ous than in former years. The (lowers were 8 roses, azaleas, violets, heath blossoms and cal i las. At the desk corners were baskets of fern r and moss, and near the altar stairs stood great vases all filled with flowers. The organ loft also was decorated with floral baskets and with bo uqnets. The whole effect was very fine, and the arrangement elicited expressions of ad r miration from the visitors who crowded the t church dnriDg the noon hour. Indeed, all day the church was an object of interest and must have been visited by thousands Mr. Gibbs took his text from Luke xx, 38: “For lie is not a God ol the dead, but of the living, for all live unto him.” The theme of the discourse was, as befitted the day, the meaning of the Resurrection of Jesus and the sublime lesson which it teaobes. Mr. Gibbs dwelt with peculiar emphasis upon the con cluding works of the text, “for all live onto Him1” as a striking evidence of the all-em bracing goodness of God, whose boundless mercy inclndes every man, and whose benevo lence is only satisfied by the eternal happiness of every member of the human race. The music was very fine, including Dndley Buck’s “Christ the Lord has Risen,” the “Gloria Patri,” and Abbott’s “Hear our Prayer.” ST. LUKE'S CATHEDRAL. At 7 a. m. there was an early celebration of the Holy Eucharist, conducted by Canon Hayes. A large number of communicants were present. At lot a. m. there was the lull service of Morniug Prayer by the Bishop of tbe Diocese and the regular clergy of tbe Cathedral. The music was as follows: Processional.“Onward Christian Soldier” Anthems for the Day in D. Te Deum Laudamus in D.(■; Allen Jubilate in F« Hymn 105.“Tbe Day of Resurrection” Hymn 108.“Lift your glad voices” Kyrie Eleison in C..Gilbert Gloria Tibi in C. Ottertory in G. Sanctua E&.Eloey. Communion Hymn 207.“Bread of tbe World” Gloria in Excelsis in G. Peeessional.“Nunc Dimitris” After Morning Prayer the rite of confirma tion was administered by Bishop Neeley to a large class ol candidates. Tbe sermon by tbe Bishop was upon the Resurrection. Tbe text was from St. John xx: 29—"Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed.” After the conclusion of tthe confirmation, the Holy Communion was administered by the Bishop, assisted by Canon Hayes and Rev. Cbas. Ketchum as deacoD. At 3 p.m., tbe Choral Litany, followed by carols by tbe children of the Sunday school and tbe administration of infant baptism. At 7 p. m. tbe service was clxora', with music as follows: Processional, Hymn 103.“Tbe Strife is o’er” Psalms of tbe day from tbe Psalter. Cbants, Cantate Domino, Benedic Amina mca ilULLiCUl 1U XJ, Hjnm 107.“He is Risen" Recessional Hymn 106.Christ the Lord is risen again Rev. Air. Hayes preached from Galatians 3:1—“If ye then be risen with Christ,.seek those things which are above.” The floral decorations of the Cathedral, chancel, altar, lectern, pulpit and font, were very beautiful and iu exquisite taste. The Cathedral was crowded at these services. CATHEDRAL OP THE IMMACULATION CON CEPTION. At the Cathedral of the Immucalate the festival of the Resurrection was celebrated with tbe usual imposing ceremonies. The altar blazed with wax tapers and above it were tbe mottoes in gas jets “Gloria'in ExcelsisDco”and "Resurrexi.” The shrines of the Blessed Virgin and St. Joseph were brilliantly lighted and decorated with callas and roses. High pontifi cal mass was celebrated Bishop Healy acting as celebrant and Bathers Ryan, Bradley and Kennedy assisting. The music was the “Uissa Solemnis,” Veni Creator” and “Regina Coeli.” Bishop Healy delivered an address from his throne taking for his text the words "Christ, our passover is sacritied.” Tbe bishop ex plained the origin and significance of the cere monies of the church in commemoration of the Passion of our Lord. Instead of being simply for the purpose of pleasing the eye of the masses they appealed to tbe heart. They commemorated simply but impressively the most important events in the world’s history— tbe death and resurrection of Christ. They originated with the fathers of the church who sat at the feet of Jesus. They are banded down to us from the apostles. .After mass was concluded the Holy Eucharist was celebrated a large number partaking.- A dispensation from tbe Pope was read conferring upon James Augustine, Bisbop.of the Diocese of Portland, the power to grant plenary indulgence to all who had truly repented of their sins and par took of the Blessed Sacrament. Tbe cathedral was fill-.d with worshippers and Easter offer ings to the Bishop were very liberal. In the evening the usual vesper service was held. Tbe music was as follows: Plain Chant. J Bone Jesu.Uerum Tantuin Ergo.Palestrina 1'ARK STREET. The floral display at Park street church was more elegant and elaborate than ever before. Great good taste was shown in the designs and arrangement of the decorations. Tbe pulpit was adorned with boqueta; on the platform at tut) rigub was a uue piaut wnu a uauu m iuu bloom; on the left wag an elaborate high basket of flowers; attached to the gas fixtures on either side of the pulpit alcove were handsome baskets of flowers; directly in front of the pul pit was a large mound of evergreen dotted with flowers, surmounted with a cross, on whose summit perched a white dove with out-spread wings—the dove being in memory of Allie A. Bryant; at the rightof this was an exquisitely arranged basket of flowers in memory of Ar thur and Irving Brown; on the left was a beau tiful vase of, flowers in memory of Annie G. Follansbee; on the communion table was an abundant display of callas. The music was fine, the choir of the church— Mrs. Fogg, Miss King, and Messrs. Noyes and Adams—being assi£t;d by Miss Webster, Miss Maggie Bryant, Mr. Snow and Mr. Carlton. They sang “Awake thou wintry earth” written for the choir, “Lift your siad voices,” by Mo zart, and “Christ the Lord is risen today” by Andrews. The sermon was preached by Rev. Frederick Frothingham, whose text was He brews 7—15 and 10. His subject was “Immor tality.” After the morning services, the com munion service was observed under charge of Mr. Frothingham. ST. STEPHEN’S CHURCH. A’large congregation was present both morn ing .and afternoon at this church. The font, reading .desk .and pulpit were wreathed with flowers, all in excellent taste, and there were numerons memorial crosses, baskets and wreaths in different parts of the church, more especially in memorial windows. The sermon in the morning by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Dalton, was from St. John, 20;9: “They knew not as yet that he must rise again from the dead.” The point of the sermon was to prove that there is no reasonable explanation of the general be lief in Christ’s resurrection bat the fact of it. No ote imagines the story was invented. It could i t.t have been a mytb, which springs up from cLerished ideas. The resurrestion of Christ was not anticipated by his disciples. The doubler, therefore, must account for the origiu of this belief, universal among Christians from the first; a belief which had no feundation in the traditions or pre possessions of the apostles. Yet they derived new life from it, and motives stronger than the fear of death. And on this day, millions of hearts are thrilled by the same blessed hope which is as an aucbor to their souls. In the afternoon, the Sunday School held its anniversary, and .the church was again well tilled. The exercises consisted of carols, reports and emblems unusually interesting. st. dominic’s The services in this church were of the usual magnificence, the altar being a perfect blaze of light. The steps leading to the altar were laden with plants and flowers in full bloom, which together with the magnificent vestments of the celebrant, formed one mass of splendor. Kev. Father McKenna acted as celebrant at the mass. Kev, Father Finnegan delivered a very pleasing and instructive sermon, taking for his text “The Paschal Lamb has been immolated for ns.’’ Notwithstanding reports to the con trary, the choir is fully organized and discoursed some magnificent music. The following was the programme fer the day: MORNING. Mass in D.Paine Veni Creator.Willard Haeu Dies.Bordese VESPERS. Demine.Willard Dixit Dominus. Laudate Dominum. Gloria Patri. Hymn for the day. ltegina Cffili.Bordese Magniticat.Schmid Benediction. O Salutaris. Panofba Tautum Ergo.Rossi Laudato Dominum. CHESTNUT STREET CHURCH. The pulpit of this .church was surrouuded with memorial wreaths composed of choice exotics. The front of the desk was adorned with evergreen looped from the corners. Be neath the evergreen was a beautiful wreath in memory to O. W. and James Hinekly. It was composed largely of azaleas and heliotropes with rose buds and prairie bells in the centre.

This evening George Kignold, the English actor whom enthusiastic admirers call the handsomest man in the world, begins a week’s engagement at Fancy Marsh’s Theatre. No one who has ever seen him in his noble imper sonation of “Henry V” in Shakespeare’s play of that name, will be inclined to call the praise of Lis admirers extravagant. His character ization in that drama is one which the specta tor would be loth to forget, for it is one of the finest dramatic pictures ever given on the stage. There should bo no need during Mr. Kig nold’s stay here to inform a cultivated public like that of Portland that it is the proper thing to see him, and that those who absent them selves are thus depriving themselves of a very great and only occasionally obtainable pleas ure. There should be crowded houses on each night he appears. It is not to be believed that so remarkable an actor will fail to attract un usually large audiences. With him comes Miss Maria Brabrook, an actress very highly spoken of by competeht critics. The play selected for the opening night is “Amos Clark,” a drama of the Stuart restora. tion in England, iu which the trinmnhant Cav aliers and the conquered Koundheads figure. Its starting point is the devastation wrought by the notorious Colonel Kirke and his “lambs,” and its outcome is theanestof “John Clavering” a3 a rebel and murderer. The de lineation of the dark and subtle character of “Amos Clarke” furnishes the motif of the play, and in this character Mr. Kignold is said to be very fine. A tender love story runs like a gold en thread through the dark woof of tho play. The following is the cast: Amos Clarke...Geo. Kignold Mildred Vaughn..Miss Marie Brabrook Sir Robert Clavering.Mr. E. C. McCall Capt. John Clavering.Mr. J. Armstrong Lord Lilac.. .Mr. T. Burleigh §Jr Clavering. Mr. F. Burgess Mr. Philip Clavering.Mr. C. W. Sutton Col. Percy Kirke.Mr. A. Adams Squire Vaughn.Mr. J.

Jones, of West Dover, Vt. “I have been troubled from my boyhood with chiouic or hereditary lung complaint. Some years since, early in the winter, I took cold, which as usual settled into a severe cough, which continued to iucrease as the season advanced, although 1 made use of all the cough remedies I had knowledge of. My family physician also prescribed for me, but I experienced no relief. During all this time I was gradually running down, losing flesh and strength, until my friends as well as myself, became very much alarmed, thinking I should waste away iu consumption. While in Boston, during the spring following. I was induced to try Wistar’s Balsam or Wild Cherry. After oue day’s trial X was sensible that it was relieving me; in ten nay’s time iny cough had entirely ceased, and I was soon restored to health and strength. I have ever since kept the Balsam in my house, and whenever any member of my family has a cough or cold it is immediately restored to. No family should be without It.” pd__ d!'l n 0.1 1 i_. 11 a gists. __ap2eod&wlw Harper’s Bazar.—This beautiful weekly publication is a welcome visitor to the parlor circle.

POETRY. Nature’s Patience. Do the little brown twigs complain That they haven’t a leaf to wear? Or the grass, when the wind and rain Pull at her matted hair? Do the buds that the leaves left bare To strive with their wintry fate, In a moment of deep despair, Destroy what they cannot create? Oh. nature is teaching us there, To patiently wait, and wait. THE FARM AXD HOUSEHOLD. Tlie Northern Hpj- n> a ‘Keeping” Apple. The Northern Spy has not obtained the pop ularity with New England fruit-growers to ■which it is entitled. Many who have es sayed to raise it have become disgusted be cause the trees come into bearing so late and cither cut them down or grafted them to oth er varieties. But the farmers who have had the patience to come into full bearing have been amply rewarded, and few persons who have once had a supply of the Northern Spy ■would willingly do without it. It is equally popular as an eating apple and for cooking, and not the least valuable among its many are its keeping qualities, in which it tairly rivals the Russet, which, it is popularly sup posed, can be kept longer than any other ap ple. Last year the writer ot this was fortu nate enough to eat, on Monday, July 19 the last apple of several barrels of Northern Spys put into the cellar of a gentleman at South Deerfield, the product of his own orchard, and which have had only ordinary care. It would not be true to say that this specimen was as good as it would have been three or four months before, but it was the best apple by odds we ever ate so late in the season. It was not preserved by withering and partly drying up. as is the case with Russets pre served till summer, but was fresh, crisp, juicy, aromatic—a real apple, and not an apology for one. With more Nothrn Spy trees in our orchards, and a little more attention paid to keeping them, it would be possible to have apples in New England the entire ycarround. ITIicc-Uirdled Fruit Trees. To save trees girdled by mice will require prompt measures; hut it can be done if the accompanying directions are followed. A number of young shoots or portions of the twigs of apple trees are provided, sharpened in the form of a wedge at each end, being long enough to connect the upper and lower por tions of the bark separated by gnawing, and by carefully lifting the bark and making a sharp cut iu the tree by means of a small chisel, the twigs are inserted. This furnishes a means for the passage of the sap. Alter the wound is thus treated, it i3 well to drive a few stout stakes around each tree to prevent the twigs from being knocked out of place by au accident. Ia time such wounds will be healed over, and by usiDg this means thousands oi valuable trees may be saved.— Maine Far mer. Apple Jelly. I want to tell farmers’ wives, and all other interested, that so long as they have apples in the cellar, they need never be without nice jelly. When you make a dish of stewed apples put in plenty of water, and when dona pour them on a sieve; after draining a few minutes remove the apple, add a little water and sweeten; and 1 do not think it i^njared by be ing robbed of its juice. Sweeten the juice well with white sugar and boil gently till it will make a stiff jelly. Fresh Meat Griddles. Chop bits of any cold roast meat, season with pepper and salt, and make a griddle bat ter, put a spoonful on a well buttered iron, then a spoonful of chopped meat, and on this another spoonful of the batter. When cooked on one side, turn; when done, send tc the table hot. They are very Dice for break fast or luDCb. To Make Glue that will Resist Fire. Mix a bandful of quick-lime in 4 oz. of lin seed-oil boil to a good thickness, than spread on plates in the shade and will become ex ceedingly bard, but may be easily dissolved over the fire, and used as ordinary glue. It resists fire after being used for 'gluing sub stances together. Jumbles. Take six eggs, a cup and a half of sugar, one of butter: beat to a froth; add flout enough to roll; flavor to taste; cut out with a large tumbler, and cut out the middle with the top of a small canister, and leave a per fect ling. They should be rolled in powdered sugar, and baked in a quick oven. CITY ADVERTISEMENTS CITY of PORTLAND.
