ST. PAUL's CHURCH.-The Easter services at St
Paul's Episcopal church, Clinton street. Brooklyn
yesterday, were very largely attended. The
prayers were read in the morning by the Rev. DR..
Drswne. The music ana singing were rendered
with that wonderful blending Of eject and deyo-
ton for which these volunteer choristers are re-
markable. DR.. browne preached very eloquent
sermon on the subject Of "The Resurrection
taking for his text the sixth and seventh verses OF
the twenty-fourth chapter OF st. Luke's Gospel
"He is not here, but Is risen. Remember how ne
spake unto you when he was yet in Gaee, say.
ing, The son OF man must be delivered into the
hands OF sinful men and be cruciheG, and the
third day rise again." After the sermon, and
during the orertory, the solo from Handel's "Mes-
siah," 81 know that my Redeemer liveth," was
effectively rendered by a young lady who had
volunteered for the occasion, and whose modesty
iorbids the publication OF her name. The Holy
Communion service was then administered to a
large part OF the congregation After the services
and during the afternoon large numbers visited
the church for the purpose OF examining the floral
decorations, which were extremely beautiful. Ris-
ing from the altar to the height OF i've ieet, on
dark crimson background, was beautiful white
cross, outlined with narrow border OF green ON
each side of the cross was a lily bearing three
blossoms: suspended just above the cross was
crown composed OF scarlet and white flowers, be.
hind which, on dark green ground, was the
declaration, in large white Roman characters,
1.-THE Lord Is risen." The chancel and seats OF the
choristers were decorated with texts and flowers;
leaning against the blue pipes OF the organ was a
large white Tyre, bordered with green, to match
the cross. These newers and devices were given
by committee OF parishloners. Thanking the
aim
front OF the church were large trees Of white and
scarlet azaleas In full bloom. over the baptismal
font rose large scarlet pyramid of flowers seve-
raj feet HIGH surmounted by white cross. on
the other side OF the church, peepng out from be-
tween the large blue and gold pipes OF the organ,
were clusters OF stately lilies. In the centre
panel OF the pulpit was large white cross; on
either side we're two smaller ones, and running
along the top device In many colored flowers.

The Death of the Mayor.

On the floor OF his Office In the City
Hall, at ten minutes past noon, yester.
day, the Mayor of New York, Hon,

adjacent to his Office, and advanced but
step when the hand Of death seized
him. During the few moments oil
struggling life that followed he never
uttered a word. There was no premou-
tory warning, no wrestling for exist
ence when he fell upon the floor. He
passed into the other world as calmly
as an infant and death left on his fea-
lures no painful token of its sting. lie

JaiIOrs' Fees.

The Knoxville Chronicle thus calls
attention to the subject of "Jailors' Fees
In Tennessee: "The amount now allow
ed jaiIors for boarding prisoners in this
State is sixty cents per day. That is
S420 per week. They are compelled,
and actually do, give prisoners only two
meals a day, and this Of not the most ex-
pensive kind. Now, there are good
boarding houses in Knoxville, where
board may be obtained for three dollars
per week. 1t tappears TO us that some
thing might be saved to the State and
to the counties without doing injustice
to jailors by reducing their fees some.
what. They might very justly be fixed
at three dollare per week. which, would
be saving of one dollar and twenty
cents per week, for each prisoner con-
fined in the several jsils throughout the
State. This would be quite an item
and would save thousands Of dollars
every year. We throw this out for the
benefit of our next Legislature, elected
as it was ona platform pledging re-
duction of excessive salaries"

A Washington date indicates that
Mr.. Butler, Of the First District, is in
trouble again:
The spechl agents sent to Tennessee
to investigse the celebrated Suggfort

their reportto Secretary Bristow, and
ii is probabh that early steps will be
taken to recover the $24 900 paid on the
lst July last. 1t 10 understood that Ger.

lisbed. SECRETARY BristOw has pushed
this inquiry with characteristic vigor,

in many casss SUCCESSFULLY, fraudulent
claims agains. the Government. 1t 10 as
serted the evidence taken seriously i'm
plicates Hon. Roderick Butler, Of Ten
nessee, of cadetsbip fame, and that an
investigation of the case will be made
by the Cosamittee on War Claims of the
House, which rejected the claims during
the last session. Judge Lawrence will,
il 10 said, offer resolution 10 that effect,
and endeavor to sustain theories ad-
vanced by him In his published letter
Of last summer OH the general subject
Of war claims. The case is likely to
develop some interesting features OF the
claim business, and show tho workings
of the dcplrtment lobby.

The New Postal Law.

Nashville Banner: The new postage
law which goes into effect the lst OF
January will have very good effect,
inasmuch as almost all Of the papers
