concert OF the Amphions in your city ever
read the above quotations Is their an
noyanre to the lovers OF music aud per-
formers to be tolerated? Are We going
backward ia ciyilization2 and must every
public amusement end in rowdyism? 1t
is high time for our Legislature US well as
City and Town Corporations, to enact
stringent laws and intlict severe punish
ment on any one who disturbs the peace
in any pubic place, no matter whether at
church, theatre, coneert-room, hotel or
public meeting. What is more refining To
the home circle, and to society generally
than music? Look at the countries where
music is predominant; look, also, at the
families where the love of music and its
cultivation prevails, and there you will
fail to find the rowdy or the drunkard.
What must be the impression made upon
a stranger ON visiting your city, to lind
himself annoyed by such behavior? He
comes to enjoy the music buys his ticket
and enters your hall to find himself the
victim of disorder ln.smuch as the tenn

New BooKs.--We have received from
Cushing and Medairy, Booksellers and
Stationers, No. North Howard street,
Baltimore, L. H. Butler l. Cos. new Sc
ries of the AMERICAN READER, for the
use of Public Schools. These books are
admirably graded to supply the needs OF
pupils, less or more advanced. They pos
sess many attractive features not before
seen in school readers, and in addition are
the cheapest series ever published. The
Fourth and Fifth Readers abound in ex-
tracts FROM the best authors, calculated to
mould the character and improve the head
and heart of the pupil. We have also re-
ceiyed Mitehell's Primary and Intermedi-
ate Geography and Atlas, standard works
familiar to all who have engaged in the
instruction Of youth, all of which works
may be had Of Cushing & Medairy, Balti-

CunA-Public opinion in Cuba is deei-
dedly in favor of sus aiming the Rcpubli-
can authorities in 81 ain. The news Of
the ablicatior Of Amadeus and the
proclamation of the Republic was kept Sc
erct in Havana until the popuace began
to exhibit signs OF discomfort. Then the
Captain-Generil gave the telegram commu-
nicating these facts to the press for publ
cation, but at the same time issued strict
orders that they should not indulge in com
ments upon the cents thus chronic d.
Ii is expected that II Commssi, mr. will
soon arrive at Havana from Madrid, en-
powered with authority to assemble the
leaders Of the Republicans and counsel
with them as to the future govern
ment of the island Such course
will be productive of happy results
When the island is pacifed an election
for Deputies to the Cortcs win be held. at
which all persons over twenty-one years of
age and otherwise qualified, will have the
right of the ballot These concessions to
public opinion will be followed BY others
of an important character, all calculated
to tranquilizc the people and put stop to
the internal strife which has so long pros
trated the best interests of the island.

The Inauguration.


The second Inauguration Of President
Grant took place on Tuesday last at the
appointed time The day was clear but
cold and windy, Pennsylvania Avenue was
filed with clouds of dust, and the cold and
dust together made the day most uneom-
Portable, At night the ball came off in a
building especially erected for the occasion
at a cost of $4,000. The building was
800 fee, long and $50 wide, but not sufii-
ciently warmed, rendering the evening
rather cherries for the dancers. There
was some hilarity during the day, but not
much enthusiasm manifested, and but lit
tic cheering, The inaugural address has
been variously commented ON, according
to political prediction. The President
makes free use of the personal pronoun
I, which is in very bad taste, but his allu-
sion, at such time and place, to the abuse
he has received, is worse still A contem-
porary says, not much was expected in the
way Of an address from the President. No
doubt he did the best he could, and so let
il pass.

Among the indignant comments that fill
the daily press of all parties on the action
of Congress in regard to the Poland COM
mittee, the following strong point is forcibly
touched upon by the haquirer, Repub-
lican newspaper published in the Quaker
City:
The House has, in this business, turned
aside from the path of duty that was marked
out so plainly for it to follow. 1t has refused
the way Of wisdom and honor, and as conse-
quence il, with all those il shielded from the
punishment Of their crimes, is condemned by
the country. And il is now for the constitu.
cuts Of the guilty to do that which their asso-
ciates ufused TO do. 1t must expel them
when the opportunity comes. Until the ex-
piration of the term for which they were so
recently elected they cannot be expelled, but
at that time they can refuse to send them back
to Congress TO bride or be bribed. The re-
sponsibility Of Congress is at an end in the
business. IL has been remanded to the
country, and If again the convicted members
are returned to the places they have disgraced
the onus of it will be upon the country. The
alternative is a remote one, but that is not
the fault Of the people, and it is for the people
to say whether or not it shall be so hereafter.

The World refers to the manner in
which the whole Democratic press and the
