The messis m.

The long expected Concert at st. Pc
ter's was given last. night by the Men
delssohn QuartC,tte Club, and fully met
the high alticipstious of the public.
The audience was large and critical.
The church was brilliantly lighted, and
the Memberships were mostly in good
voice. They sang Handels oratorio Of
the Messiah, with grand organ and or
chestral accompaniment. This is one
Of the most artistic and difficult crea'
tons of the great composer, and it is
not too much to say that his conceptions
of the sublime theme we're interpreted
last evening with spirit, delicacy and in
spring effect. The soloists we're Mrs.
n. Czapski (soprano), Misses Lizzie
Douglass lcontralto), NJ. Hitz6eld icon
tralto), Lizzie Walker (contralto)
and Jennie Barry (soprano), and
Mr.. James Kirkland (bass).
Mrs. CSapski sang as well as usual,
and evea excelled herself in / Know
that Ny Redeemer Liyenth and Re-
joice Greatly" She possesses supe.
rior voice, of great compass, aexibility
and sweetness, and has enjoyed the ad'
Tantages Of careful culture. Her splen'
did yecahzation always gives pleasure to
the bearer. Miss Hitz6eld sang very
sweetly, especially in :" He Shall Feed
My Flock" Miss Walker gave He
was Despised," with such accuracy and
effect that one could have wished to hear
more of it. but Of course no encore was
permissible in the church. Miss Doug
lass and Miss Barry acquitted themselves
in q manner which evinced delicate
sense of the composition and excellent
training, with capacity for further de-
velepmeut. Messrs. Kirkland and Pc
terson displayed their superior musical
powers and the result of hard study to
to the very best advantage. Indeed,
there was evidence at each sue
cessive step of severe discipline,
and harmony between the voices and
the decentralization that could only
be produced under the control of mas
ter hand. Prof. Perring, under whose d.
rection the whole was produced, is to be
congratulated upon his grand triumph.
II an unprofessienal ear may be trusted
it was a splendid artistic success. If
anything possible was wanting in those
who participated it was confidence in
one or two instances and where we least
expected it. We hope the Mendels-
sohns will hereafter not separate their
delightful entertainments by such wide
intervals. The public is not so severely
critical as they imagine, and will trust
to the quality for the sake of the guam

a e.ranre uindoo Custom

The natives Of India have what is
known as the Devils dance" In no.
ticing a recent death after one of these
festivities the Madras Times shows that
the superstition Of the Hindoos, like
those Of the blacks in this country, are
hard TO eradicate:
In the Tinpeville district a devil 8
dance lately led to serious results. 1t
seems that it is the practice to pass a
string under the flesh on both sides OF
the body by means of large packing
needle in order to qualify the dancers
ito dance before the devil. Three
bows we're thus, with the consent OF their
fathers, prepared for the occasion, and
one of them died few days after
the performance. His body was i'm
mediately burned, but the circumstances
having been brought under the notice OF
the authorities, legal proceedings were
instituted against barber who had
passed the thread through the boy s
flesh and against the boys father for
having abetted the commission
of murder, and for causing hurt
with dangerous weapon. The barber
abseended, but the father was appre-
hended and pat on his trial. 1t was
pleaded that the custom was a usual one
in the district, and was done in fulfill
ment of vow; and, the Sessions Judge
having found the father guilty Of only
causing hurt, he was sentenced to three
years imprisonment, which, however,
has been reduced on appeal to one year.

LATEST rELEGRAMS.
NEW YORK.

New York, April BOA meeting was
hela.;n Cooper Union last evening to
give impetus to the movement for the
settlement by arbitration Of all disputes
between nations.
John I. Role, dramatist OF some
note, has been missing from his home
for several weeks.
A dispatch from Washington says that
allusion having been made to President
Grant about compromised the finance
measure that would be acceptable to
both parties, the President replied that
be did not know what force was in
tended to apply to the term compromise
unless it was an agreement to carry ont
pledges of the country that might be
considered compromise by those who
similarly defeated every proposition Of,
fered during the discussion in Congress,
and by SO agreeing have reason TO be-
lieve that such legislation would not
meet with his approval. 1t has been said
ne promised in his last annual message
to heartily support any measure that
Congress might decide upon. He did
not intend any such construction to be
put upon his language. If he had not
made himself understood, more recent
message would clear up anything like
ambiguity. One thing he had endeav-
ored to make plain during his admins
tration. He was for carrying out the
solemn pledges Of the government at
the earliest possible day, and specie
basis, the establishment of our cur
rency on gold and silver, had been up
permost in his mind. Whenever he sent
to Congress his annual messages he had
not said what kind of bill he would
approve. 1t ives his earnest hope that
Congress would dispose Of the question.
The distribution of $25, 100000 OF
banking currency, with $5,OO0,OO0 OF
notes belonging to broken banks and
banks in liquidation in the South and
West to furnish for the present all that
was asked for, and he had been assured
since the veto of the finance bill that the
New England banks we're anxious to re-
duce circulation. Inasmuch as bonds
now held for circulation would be re-
leased and furnish them with larger cur
rency capital for loan than they now
had, while our securities we're worth in
legal tenders sixteen and seventeen
cents above par, and national banking
notes we're bound to be secured under
the existing law at so much sacrifice to
banking capitalists, he did not wonder
New England banks were anxious to
cancel their notes and get their bonds;
in fact this suggestion came to him
early last fall, during the stringency in
the money market, and he thought 1t
worth calling the attention of Congress
to in his last massage. Since then he
had heard nothing to change his opinion
on this point.

Somerville, with a pack of eleven fox
dogs. The deer and dogs reached the
track Of the Louisville railroad, where
the road crosses Hatchie river, just in
time to meet the accommodation train.
The deer left the track, but the fine pack
of valuable dogs was run over by the
train. Mr.. Alleys celebrated hound
Music had his shoulder dislccated, and
was knocked off the track. Three other
