Aely" Bryant's Ministries perform at
Library Hall this evening. Hear what
the Trenton Emporium says of them y
"Taylor Hall was crowded last night.
The performance of Bryant's Ministries
was good, and delighted the large au-
dience who gave evidence of their sat
isfaction by repeated and loud applause
The burlesque of II Travatore was cap
ital.
This is undoubtedly the best min
strel company in existence, and those
who would enjoy good laugh and at
the same time appreciate the best of
music, should not fail to attend this
their last evening in this city,"

The people at the Port were again
last evening agitated over the death of
another man from injuries received
while in the discharge of his duty, al
though for time after the discovery
of his body, it was uncertain as to the
manner in which he had been injured.
1t appears that William Derby is a
brakeman on the Central railroad, and
while the train, which he was attend
ing, was moving out from the docks,
it became necessary for him to uncou-
couple the cars. While engaged in the
performance of this dangerous duty,
he was caught between the bumpers,
and violent compression through the
loins and bowels caused thereby. Der
by managed in some manner to get ont
from between the cars, and laid down
along side the track, where he was
found in an insensible condition, a
short afterwards, by Mr.. Adam Peters
a Waterman in the employ of the
railroad company, who Immediately
sent for assistance, which arriving, the
wounded man was conveyed to his
home in Wall street, where everything
which skill or attention could devise,
was done for him by Dr. J. S. Martin,
the railroad company's surgeon, and a
host of warm hearted friends.
Mr.. Derby lived, however, but about
three hours, death relieving him of the
most terrible sufferings. Deceased was
unmarried, but leaves widowed moth
er, who was mostly dependent upon
her affectionate son for support.
Deceased was regarded as fine
young man, and his untimely death is
deeply mourned by all who knew him.
Since the above was put in type, we
have learned that Derby was about IS
years of age, of excellent habits. He
was an active member of Hibernia
Steam Engine Company, No. 5, the
members of which will attend his fune.
raj at o'clock to morrow morning.
At the request of the friends of de-
ceased, DR.. Coroner Braun has sum-
moned jury to meet at Arnold's Hall,
at six o'clock this evening to investi-
gate the facts in the case.

geAp The performances at Stickney's
New York Circus last evening, were the
best we ever witnessed in this city, and
we doubt not many who failed to go
regret it to day. The equestrianship
of Miss Brown, the infant PRODIGY was
most enthusiastically applauded, as the
"dear little thing" handsomely sue
ceeded in performing most astonishing
feats. The trapeze and horizontal bar
performances were also truly wonder
full, while the exquisite horsemanship
of Madame Tournaire, was most per-
feet showing her power over the brute
creation. Mr.. Stickney, as jester, can,
not be surpassed, and whenever he
comes to this city again he may rely
upon having warm welcome. His
show is free from vulgarities, so COM
mon nowadays.

REAL ESTATE The dealers and
agents in real estate are looking for
ward to an early activity in the market.
Judging from the number of elegant,
substantial buildings now in course of
erection, we think there is reason for
their anticipatiops. The business has
been very sluggish during the Summer
when comparison is made with previous
seasons, but the agents very satisfac-
torily account for it. Elizabeth has a
bright future before it, if the owners of
property are not too grasping and av-
aricious. Enormous rents must come
down to something more moderate, the
retail dealers must content themselves
with reasonable profits If they don't,
then they will kill the goose that lays
the golden eggs, and all they will have
will be roast goose for their pains.

SET PHRASES IN THE PULPIT.
wonder if the clergy are aware to what
an extent their language is shaped by
conventionalisms. Not only in prayer
but in sermon one hears from the pull
pit of Sunday old phrases which have
been used till they are more than thread
bare. Many of them are quotations
from Scripture which have become so
familiar from long service that they
are anticipated by every listener when
the first word is uttered, and SO fall
without effect on the ear, the listener
having no realization or even thought o.
their meaning. OF course if teacher
be delivering a textual sermon, wherein
he shows the relations between one
portion of the Bible and another, he
will need to make frequent quotations.
We do not inveigh against them, nor
against that often effective style of SER
monizing, wherein verse or phrase of
CCTlDIuIG IS luuIOduCCIt w llIuoUlitS Il
position or clinch an argument. These
are very different things from the in
discriminate and perpetual use of con-
ventional phrases in which SO many
preachers indulge, and which every
habitue of the church knows by heart
1t is not too much to say that the intel
lectual rank Of clergyman may be
fairly judged by this test, for the COM
plete and lazy dependence of some of
them on the pulpit technicalities of
speech certainly shows a lamentable
poverty of expression, if not barrenness
of thought
1t is this falling into old forms of
which, more than anything else, has
emasculated the power and influence of
the clergy Of to day. The people de-
mand that the message from the pulpit
as well as any other rostum, be freshly
and attractively attired, not in the
worn out garb of former years.

BROAD STREET ON SATURDAY NIGHT. =
On the last day of the week Broad
street presents an animated and some
what gay scene. 1t is our " Corso, "
equal in size to that of Turin, or Wa
bash avenue of Chicago, though the
wood pavement of the last renders q
drive along the avenue noiseless,
pleasant recreation. Our Broad street
is something to be proud of. A finer
street does not exist in the country
On Saturday night there were at least
10000 people of both sexes promenad-
ing on it. This crowd is caused by the
great number of young men and wo-
men in our factories, and our mechan-
les and laboring men who, being paid
off on the last day of the week, stroll
out to take a little fresh air, do little
shopping, and, at the same time, show
themselves. 1t may be said that Broad
street is sort of matrimonial market,
the market day being Saturday.
How much little music in the open
air is wanted by all classes. If band
of music were to play every Saturday
evening, our young people could prone
made and whisper love there. 1t would
not cost much to employ band, and
the expenses might be divided between
committee of citizens and the City
Council. The city can afford a
little music, and it is behind even
cago in music, and behind every other
place on the hotel question.
By-the-way, why don't Mr.. Amos Clark
Jr., get up an excitement by having a
band stationed at the arcade By this
means custom would be invited, and a
Tremendous rush made for the goods
within. Let the experiment be tried,
it won't cost much, and poor people
will enjoy it.

JERSEY CITY.-E M. Stremmel, q
book-keeper in Cummings's car factory
and John Clifford, the Waterman, were,
at an early hour yesterday, assaulted
with clubs and badly injured by two
men named Council and Kelly. Cornell
was arrested and held for trial. Kelly
escaped. Cars fitted up with chairs,
instead of the usual seats, will be run
with the midnight train over the New
Jersey Railroad hereafter. These cars
are intended to answer the purpose of
sleeping cars.
Forty-five thousand baskets of
peaches passed over the New-Jersey
