Ovation to Ole Bull by tho Philharmonic
Society.

Ovation to Ole Bull by tho Philharmonic
Society.
At the second Philharmonic concert, after
the vast audience which filed the Academy
of Music had dispersed, the full orchestra
of one hundred performers, under the direc-
lion of Carl Bergman, played in honor
of Ole Bull one of the finest national
airs of Norway. DR.. Doremus, in tho name Of
the Philharmonic Society, thanked the famous
violinist for having added the magnetism of his
genius to the other inspiring influences of the
concert. Ole Bull responded eloquently, con-
cluding with request, which was at once
complied with, that national American air
should be played. 1t was on account Of the
severe cold weather that this extraordinary
ovation was substituted for q serenade,
which the Philharmonic Society had intended
to give Ole Bull-an honor previously
conferred by them only on two persons..
their pubiic-spirited president, when he
last returned from Europe, and Jenny Lind,
the Swedish Nightingale. The well merited
tribute was all the more appropriate in view of
the object of Ole Bulls present visit to the
United States. With his characteristic patri-
otism he is about to travel throughout the
land, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, appeal
ing to his fellow countrymen settled in America
to aid him in raising funds to erect on the Nor
wegian coast lighthouse, surmounted with
statue of Harold Harfagar (Fairhaired Harold),
who in 872 transformed Norway into one single
kingdom, and was thus released from his vow
neither to cut nor comb his hair until he had
vanquished the petty provincial kings. The
lighthouse, a monument to commemorate this
event, is to be dedicated in 1879, on the one
thousandth anniversary Of the establishment Of
Norwegian unity and independence.

Old Barrels.

Such topic as that of old barrels should be
very suggestive one to the whole public.
There are many points in which the people
feel that they cannot afford to inquire too
curiously. They are conscious that to go
minutely into the history Of many articles that
are very prescntabie at table might be to
deprive themselves Of satisfactory appetite
and to destroy their faith in their fellow crea-
t'lres. It would 'rise the gorge" of the cater
to suddenly make him familiar with the promi-
nent events in the career Of any one of our
dainties. We are certain that it would quite
destroy the market value of figs to give an
extensive publicity to DR.. Maddons account
of his visit to Turkey. But there are some
articles 80 necessary that any suspicion
thrown on their history does not for moment
make us think Of giving up using them, but
only Of tho consequences Of such continued

There Is no misery and unhappiness to equal

use to ourselves and how to avoid the danger.
No one, OF course, supposes that he can get
along without flour. 1t is, therefore, all the
more uncomfortable to have to face the dis
covery that much Of this soft, absorbent,
readily poisoned powder is sent to market in
barrels that were emptied of rotten garbage
not long before the -four was put in. It is
useless to make any appeal to the dealers,
for old barrels are cheaper than new
ones 1t Is equally useless to resolve that
you will be vigilant and viii positively buy no
barrel Of -four where you are not sure the
barrel is new. How can you tell, with the
outside well scraped, and supposing you make
due allowance for the inevitable soil Of all the
handling between tho mill and your front door |?
Moreover, II it be admitted that your acuteness
has discovered some infallible point of dis
tinction, are you sure that you can count upon
the baker for equal vigilance? Alas you
must finally make up your mind to take your
typhoid fever, or other result Of slow poison,
as 1t comes, and comfort your soul so much as
you may with the reflection that the subject is
now before the Legislature.

slow Poison,

1t 10 probable that we are getting ourselves
slowly poisoned all the time. Men ought to be
beginning to look askance upon all the evi-
dence that the chemists present in murder
cases that is founded upon analysis Of dead
mems bodies; for If the chemist do not find
any poison 1t may justly be doubted whether
he is good chemist, and if he do fnd it then
there are SO many different ways to account
for the presence Of poison in the human body
that If man is hanged on such evidence it La
the fault of his counsel. II was a startling
fact when in the late analysis Of the body OF
Mr.. Caller the chemist DR.. Doremus, found
plenty of poison, but did not for moment be-
lieve the wife had given it, though no suspi-
cion had fallen upon any other person.
Can it be, then, that there is no
just suspicion, even with poison in the
body? Is it natural and commonplace for our
bodies to contain poison9 It appears so in
this city In that case great deal of lead
was found in the body, but 'not more than
could be accounted for by the use Of Croton
water conveyed through lead pipes" This
was the report Of the analysis. AS lead is not
soluble in water, how does the water get il
into our bodies? Our water is river water,
and al river water into which the leaves of
trees have fallen, or into which vegetable
substances of any sort decay, contains carbonio
acid. The carbonic acid in the water COM
bines with fllm Of the lead to make car
Donate of lead, and in this form the lead il
soluble in water. Hence the constant opera
tion of our slow poison. To how many
in feeble health does this lead poison furnish
the final feather that topples them into the
grave? Is not this evil of lead pipes one that
calls for some recommendation from the Board
of Health? Since in the tin-lined pipe now
coming into use we have an admirable substi-
tute, this poisoning has no longer the poor
excuse of convenience in its favor; for we
are convinced that the objection we recently
made to the tin pipe-!hat It was more liable
to burst than the common lead pipe--was
made in error.

DO bright and sunny yesterday that the churches
were filed TO overnowing. Plymouth church
Is always full when Mr.. Beecher breaches, and
yesterday he gave his hearers an unusual sen
station. In q voice broken by emotion he
thanked the members Of the church for their
magnificent increase Of his salary by seven
thousand five hundred dollars, but declined it..
He said he would send statement to the
board of trustees about it. He then preached
. sermon on ''the peace which passcth under
standing" At the Seventh street Methodist
Episcopal church largo crowd gathered
with the morbid desire to hear something
about the Rev. Horace Cook, and were, Of

MANpY's SPRAGUE WITH A CARPET BAG
Literature in the Alabama Legislature is at
such low ebb that the famous Sprague Of
Chicago, ''who loved his maudy mex to
his geasus, has probably carpet-bagged into
that body. Spelling and grammar are the
principal necessities Of the members, but re-
solution recently presented to employ an en-
crossing clerk to ''fx up" the bills so that the
Governor would not be disgraced by approving
them with all their photographed monstros-
ties was che cause of ''yld' indignation. The
idea was almost enough 10 give them Sprague's
.arsyplas."

A HORRIBLE HANGING AFFAIR took place
in Tarboro, N. c., on Friday. A negro man,
named Lewis Hines, was hanged for out
raging white woman. While he was seated
on the scaffold q colored preacher stood by his
side and preached to the crowd, holding
Hines up as a terrible warning, and consider
ably increasing the discomforts of his situa-
ton. When the drop fell the knot worked
around under the condemned mans chin, and,
catching it with his hands, he managed to get
his feet again on the platform, whereupon the
Sheriff tripped him up and he fell again.
How long before we shall have skilful hang
man?

Grant on Saturday, and stated In his address
that the Americans in the island comprised the

stipulations are regarded as desirable and
highly important. Possibly the Sandwich

criminal classes? This very phrase seems to
conjure up vision of beetle brows, brutal

to remind us that all the crimes are not COM

some especial persecution because the COM

against the opposition of male operations
thought they would be less likely to- turn out.
They argue, however, that if they ever had any
special favor from the company they have paid
for it by working number Of years for hall

therefore, that if the company singles them

that amendments submitted to the States shall

amendment did not enter into the canvass in
which the Legislature was chosen. Amend
ments so accepted never really received the

The Northern negroes, quicker
than their Southern brothers to
comprehend the new political sit
uations produced by the fifteenth
amendment, are already moving
in behalf of a separate political
organization in harmony with,
but not of the Republican party.
They do not intend to be swal-
lowed up as a helpless atom, a.
mong the mass of Republican
voters, but aim to hold the bal
ance of power between the two
great contending parties, coquet-
ting with either entirely in their
own interests. That this course
is a wise one, as new political
move, none can doubt, any more
than they can the certainty of the
example spreading through the
South. As natural result of en-
franchisement it is useless to dis
cuss it, as the natural and una
voidablc antagonism Of race pro-
duced thereby will produce new
issues and complications, before
which the present ones are but
of pigmy Importance.

A curious story is afoat about
the Baron James de Rothschild
having sat for his picture some
years ago, to AIRY Schefer, in tho
character of a beggar. 1t is added,
to complete the romance, that a
chance visitor, seeing the baron in
the artists studio made up for a
sitting, and, believing him to be
what he appeared, slipped a louis
into his hand. The pretended
model took the coin, kept it invest
ed for ten years, and then sent
back to the donor ten thousand
francs as the accrued profit, with
a note to the effect that q good
action always brings good fortune.
A distinct corroboration from the
giver of the louis, published in
respectable Paris journal, alone
prevents this tale from being in
credible.

BADLY SoLD.-At the Express
Company's sale of unopened packages,
recently, in Charleston, there were
many wild and venturssome bids by
gentlemen eager to go into the lottery.
The best joke is told of two well-known
hardware merchants of this city. See-
ing a box marked "Hon. 3. F. Ran
dolph," (the defunct martyr,) they
began to surmise as to its contents,and
finding it somewhat ponderoas, csonclu-
ded that it contained pistols or revol-
Vers. They Immediately formed an
extemporaneous copartDersbsp and bid
it in for s4l. On opening their prize,
the box was. found to contain 10000
pewter medals Of Grant & Colfax,
which the martyr, doubtless, intended
for campaign: purposes. Persons de-
string to purchase medals, can get
them cheap at the stores of Messrs. =.
Charleston Courier.
