A KONARS RIGHT.

Charlie. R. Monroe, Of Colon, Mich, writes as
follows to the Detrois Tribune:
Every week read in your agricultural and DO
nestle department various articles concerning tho
social, domestic and household relations, and
have been greatly edited and amused inelose
this scrap on the same general subject, knowing
that II It should not ind place In your columns
YOU have place for waste paper.
A few days ago I happened into good farm
house. where there are q respectable number OF
yirtuous sons aad daughters, and, to my surprise,
the eldest gIrl-a modest lady-was preparing
meat and vegetables for q farmers boiled dinner
As she came up the cellar stairs with supplies !,
WhistlIng . beautiful melody, you may imagine
my surprise. Living in my list year, and In this
age Of modern taste and refinement, It carried ne
back MY years, when girls were wont to whistle
and sing as they drew the fax from the dtstaf, or
the yarn from the spindle, keeping time with
its bus, and the twirl of the wheel. You know,
Mr. Editor, that It is not considered pretty, in
these days Of refinement, for young lady to
whistle But earnestly contend that they have
the right to whistle, sing, vote, and also to pray
as thousands are now doing for the determination
of the greatest evil that ever cursed our race.
When woman is once invested with the right OF
suffrage that curse will be, removed. We live In
an age of great progress; forty or any years ago
I was In the habit Of spending half the night
reading Of plans Of railways, thresAing machines,
mowers reapers, and other improvements. One
writer would make certain suggestions and
another would upset them; but by and BY these
speculations Of tina aver active brain took form,
one after another, and now ne are enjoying the
fruits. A began with woman, so will end
with thia sentiment: Give her en- inaliensole

DANIEL CARROLL DIES FROM THE Eff
FECTS OF THE BLOWS INFLICTED BY
JOSEPH SETTLE.
A few days ago there was published In THE
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN an account Of an alter
cation that occurred between two colored lsborers
named Joseph Ross alias Little, and Daniel Oar
roll, during which the former raised q heavy
shovel and, striking the latter on the head, in
ficted 9 dangerous wound, laying the scalp open
and fracturIng the skull. Little escaped capture,
and the wounded man was taken to Providence
hospital for treatment. At that time the physi-
clans gave no encouraging hopes Of his recovery,
but thought that death would ensue from the
effect Of the blow. Carroll fingered for some days,
gradually growing worse, and finally died on Sat
urday night. The coroner was notified Of the fact,
and Dr. Hartigan yesterday performed an autopsy
after which the jury, which had been empsnneled,
rendered the following verdict: That the said
Carroll came to his death by reason Of injuries re-
eeiyed in the head from shovel In the hands Of
at large but 1t Is thought that he will be secured
ss his whereabouts are said to be known to the
authorities. .a F
Since the above was put in type the murderer
has been secured. He was arrested last night
about O'Clock by Detectives McElfresh and Sar-
gent, Acting Lieut.. Robt. johnson, and Ofioer
Atkins, Of the Seventh precinct These officers
have been engaged for some time past in tracing
the accused meeting with opposition at times, and
deserve credit for the success that has attended
their efforts.
They divided into squads, and day and night
searched the eastern section Of the city, finally
capturing the fugitive near the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad depot.
He was taken to police headquarters, and will
be brought before the Police Court this morning.
He has a rough countenance, and would say no.

MASTER MAs0Ns' SOCIETY:

FORMATION OF ANOTHER PROTECTIVE
UNION-TEN HOURS TO CONSTITUTE A
DAYS WORK WITH MASTER BRICK
LAYERS.
The master bricklayers, Bosses and contractors
held q meeting at the board Of trade rooms, on
Saturday night last for the purpose Of considering
the number Of hours that should constitute sdaY's
labor the work they had to give out, the amount
of wages to DO paid and the feasibility OF forming
an association for their mutual protection and
benefit. -r> r-rr--F -~~
Mr.. Zephaniah Jones acted as chairman, and
Mr. Charles Lemon secretary, Mr.. Fenton, from
q special committee appointed at previous meet
ing to visit the Journeymen Brickiayers Union
and hold q conference on the subject OF time and
wages, reported that the committee had endeav-
ored to secure an interview with the union, but
that they declined to receive them.
Hr. Collins reported o constitution, and Its con-
slderation was laid over temporarily until those
present signed q roll pledging themselves to be-
come members Of the organization. About twenty
signatures were obtained. ? -
MT Lewis, a journeyman, declined to sign
because he was a member Of the union and did not
know but what the association forming might
exact some rules that might come in contact with
those governing the society which he now be-
Ionged. He had attended the meeting, not
knowing whether 1t was secret or not, but on &C.
.
knowledge of what transpired, and thus enable
himself to report the same correctly to the union
and probably wipe out the differences that now
existed between the boss and the mechanic He
desired permission to remain during the evening.
Mr. Collins hoped there would be no secrecy
about the meeting. Let all that wished enter.
Give all the publicity possible to it. He hoped
the mechanics would come in, it would prove
beneficial to both, and they would arrive at q
better understanding with each other. He was
satisfied to have everything that he said pro-
claimed from the house-tors.
The constitution was then taken up and adopted
by sections, the organization selecting tho name
of the Master Masons Society Of the District Of
Columbia"
After brief discussion, and on motion Of Mr..
Rodgers, Monday, April 10, was selected as the
day on which the ten-hour rule should be put In
force, the amount Of wages to be paid having been
left open for settlement by the mechanics.
Under this rule all the members OF the society
pledge themselves to employ no brlcklayers on
their work that will not accede to those terms.
How it will operate remains to BIO seem 1t Is vol
known, however, that those contractors engaged
on Government work cannot enforce this rule, as
there is a law declaring eight hours legal days
work in all Government shops and on all build
| ipgs. This may bring difficult question to COM
bst right in tire infancy Of the new society.

NEW PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN
GEORGETOWN,


Yesterday the beautiful new Presbyterian
church in Georgetown-s full description Of
which has been published in TIE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN, was formally opened for divine
services. The buildings elegant in its architec-
tural proportions, and chaste in internal adorn-
ment, which is in excellent harmony with the
sacred purposes to whichStt is to De devoted.
The attendance was large ana-epresented the
wealth and culture of the town. The services
were marked with much impressiveness, and a
general sentiment of appreciation was notice
able upon the faces Of all present.
The pastor, Rev. s. H. Hour, conducted the
exercises, and great credit is due his enterprise
and energy as evinced in this arduous under
taking.
CHAPEL OF THE HOLY COMMUNION.
There were four celebrations Of the Blessed
Sacrament at this Chapel on Easter morning,
as follows: At 6, Z, 8, and II o'clock, with
morning prayer at 1870; baptism and evening
prayer at o'clock; compline at p. m. The
altar was appropriately decorated with the
choicest flowers in great profusion, and numer-
GUS candles added their brilliant light as SYM
bols of joy suitable to this queen of festivals in
the Christian Church. A beautiful and very
ancient practice was revived at the o'clock
celebration. The service being concluded
Father Hobbie, before retiring to the sacristy,
advanced from the altar and greeted each per-
son present with a cordial shake of the hand,
saving: "Christ is risen," to which each one
responded, SIS risen, indeed"
The large number of deyout communicates
at all the services, and the exceedingly liber al
offerings for the building fund, demonstrated
that the full attendance must be attributed to
a hearty sympathy with this new work rather
than to questionable kind Of curiosity SO often
witnessed on great festivals.
The singing by the volunteer choir OF chapel
was very well rendered, and reflects great
credit on the talented young director and Or
ganist, Mr.. Particle.
At the eleven O'Clock service the singing
commenced with the hymn, "Jesus Christ Is
risen to-day" solos by Mr.. Bryan. Then fol-
lowed the ante-communion service, intoned;
before the reading Of the Epistle and Gospel
was sung an anthem by the organist, "Christ

and very many OF the libraries put out contain so
very little of Christian truth as scarcely to war
rant their publications, they are mere "Noyel-
