~ We would invite particular at
tention to the closing article of "Five
Points House Of Industry" which we
publish in this weeks issue. From
what we have been able to learn by per-
sonal observation and otherwise, Of its
operations and plans, We should judge
that no Institution in this country has a
stronger claim to tho charity Of the
public than has the House Of Industry
and there is no one upon which the ben
efactions Of the charitable can be more
wisely or bsne6cially bestowed. Fer
the sake Of suffering humanity, it is to
be hoped that this sppeal may receive
= generous response from this ss.muni-
ty. We are authorized 70 state thai
donations either in money or servicssbls
clothing Of any description, may be left
with, or directed to j. p. Burdick, 10

q hne affair. Their voices a. very 6ne,
and their selections were good. They
contemplated giving another entertain
ment on Wednosday evening, but owing
to the unpropitious state Of the weather,
they have postponed it for .sue two or
three weeks, when they will again make
their appearance amongst US. Their
performance we think was equal aud
very much like the Continentals, whom

quisitc quartette, will lose the opportu'
nifty of again hearing them.

The MARsEILLEs HrMN.-Ths Mar
settles Hymn is the French Revolution
set to music or rather let US say it was
the new life blood of the nation, so long
damned up, rushing through lyrical
outlet to glory and immortality. The
man, Roget de Lisle, who composed it,
can hardly be said in strictness to be its
author. He was in some sort the pan
dean pipe of the nation terribly awake
and wildly brave, who all suddenly play
ed upon bis genius, and the Marseilles
is the result. 1t is like criticisipg sun
light to criticisc this famous hymn -
Musically, its proportions are faultlcss
As its words are glowing and spirited -
1t has fullness, rotundity, rhythm, ac-
cent, progress, elimination, all in per-
fection. And yet it is not to be disso-
ciated from modern music Itis abreast
With the declamatory music of the year
1892, and beyond it-strength combined
with grace. Handel's music is strong,
but graceless. Mozart's is graceful, but
not heroically impassioned. The Mar
seilles is both. Though it is of univer-
sal temper, it is yet somewhat French.
The introduction Of the minor third to-
ward the end j. of unmistakably Gallo
type, found in the old Roland song and
others, and sliding without malice pre-
pense into the song of the Troubadour
of later times. So the cry Of Au1 armes
is simply the note Of the trumpet-open
and furious, and warlike. The old
French war discipline music, of the time
Of Louis w., paved the way for thi.
new liberty
Roget de Lisle was . better musician
than he himself thought; he builded
stronger than he knew. Nor is hi,
Msrseillss Hymn bis only work. A
gentleman in this City has an old book
which We have seen with . numerous
collection Of songs BY him. But the
grand inspiration visited him only once,
and the Marseillss Hymn was the
product. Those of little faith who can
see no gracdeur in musical art-and We
have such hsa:heu-may look at this
Hymn. Generations and their cities
and politics will perish, but this will
live; it cannot die.--N. Y. Irib.

- The commercial results of Com.
Perry's treaty with the Japanese are
just beginning to be visible-a schooner
having arrived at San Francisco, On the
l7th September, with cargo Of rice
and japanese ware direct from japan.
The name OF the schooner is the Caro-
line Z. Foots. She was owned and
chartered by Messrs. Reed and Dough-
erty, and sailed from Honolulu on the
l4th Of February last. In March the
schooner arrived at Simoda and found
there the crew Of the Russian frigats
Diana, wrecked in the previous Decem-
Der. The Caroline Il. Foote thereupon
was chattered by the Russians to convey
them to ono Of their own ports, while
the crew peaceably landed their cargo,
and occupied a temple assigned them by
the Japanese. But the Governor Of
Simoda, obviously acting under superior
orders it seems, refused to permit them
to stay, and even dictated to them the
manner in which they should quit the
island. At that opportune moment,
however, Commodore Rodgers, Of the
U. 8 exploring expedition, makes his
appearance, and Messrs. Reed and
Doughsrty, in q communication address-
cd to that officer, claims bis protection
against japanese assumptions, in def
ancs of the late treaty A lengthy cor
rsspsndenee enssss between the various
parties, but the Commodore is powsrless,
as the dispute involves the construction
put upon the treaty by our own aud the
Japanese Governments. 1t is not like
lly, therefore, that other commercial OK.
peditions will be undertaken until the
proper construction Of the treaty is off,
cially aseertained and promulgsd by the
Government at WasLington.--Thc
special correspondent Of the New York
Times telegraphed to that paper from
Washington, on Monday, week, that the
Navy Department received dispatches
from Lieutenant Rodger, several days
since, detailing the circumstances attend
ing the refusal Of the japanese to per-
nit American citizens to reside at Hak-
odadi, which were laid before Mr.. Mar
cy, but whether any action in the prem
ises has been taken, is yet unknown.

It only remained for the indignant
Jones to visit Mrs. Walker, and call her
to account for her reprehensible con-
duct. That pattern Of Christian quiet
uds was perfectly shocked when she
heard that Mrs Black had reported
that she had told her, in confidence,
that Mrs. Jones had taken large guam

You astonish me beyond measure

Is it possible, exclaimed Mr.. Jones
that such slanderous and exaggerated
reports could grow out Of thing 30 tri

Mrs. Walker made many apologies
and promised to do all she could Il
osunteract the effect of the false rumor
which were being promulgated by th'
joint efforts Of Black, White, Brown
Green & Go.
The surprise and modification Of tn,
parties referred to can be imagined
when = full expOse of the subject tool

small basis they had erected such tow.

The MORAL of this story is quite ap-

tho ofteler they are repeated. When
they have passed throug h half a dozen
lips, they can scarcely be recognised as
the same that were first told. BY an

ny Considerable excitement has
been created in New York by the arrest
on Thursday evening last Of number
OF the leaders in the Free Love AS
socia,ion," whose nightly meetings were
held in Hall on Broadway. The pub
lie curiosity bad been excited by tho
New York press, and the place Of these
Free Love meetings becoming known, a
crowd of all sorts of people had assem-
bled there on the evening in question.
If we are to believe some of the paper,
and persons who discourse on the sub
ject, not only the ndensy but the
practices Of these free love " deciples
and doctrines are most corrupting and
immoral. We do not, however, per-

disorderly conduct which resulted from
