Noise.


Mr. Editor-The noise of great city is one
of the serious drawbacks to life in town; and
the quiet of the country one of the reasons why
(ceteris paribus) rural life tends to restore
health. One of the highest duties of a NUM-
cipal government is, therefore, to preserve
quiet in the city; to reduce its noises to mini
mum. To permit the use of firearms and ex-
plosive fireworks, drums and other martial
noise, loud shouting and boisterous singing,
within the limits of the more thickly settled
parts of the town, seems to me to be rather
Mongolian than Caucasian, and is certainly in
consistent with that sacred regard for the
rights of others which is the pride and glory Of
the Anglo Saxon.
Two years ago when Barnum's show made
parade through our city, one Invalid was so
much affected by the noise that she suffered
from it for two or three weeks; this was in my
own knowledge, and there were probably other
similar cases in the city. This very year
know of one sick person who, although not liv-
ing on the line of the procession, was so much
injured by the noise of Independence Day that
it was necessary to give anodynes, and injurious
effects renamed for many days.
When moved into the house where now
live, the vicinity of little park was held up as
an inducement for me to come. But in this
park there has been several times already this
summer, boisterous singing at night, with
which the police did not appear to interfere.
Last evening, July 10, there was apparently a
choir of thirty or forty men, shouting songs
from before midnight until half-past twelve, in
such noisy way as not only to waken but to
frghten my servant and two other members of
my family And happen to know that there
are several families, near to the park as I, in
each of which there are persons out of health,
to whom such noises are as annoying as they
can be to me.
1t is partly want of reflection that leads peo-
pie to make these noisy manifestations Of high
spirits. They like the sound of cannon. bells,
guns, pistols and crackers. shouting and huzzas
and it does not occur to them that in the very
next house there may be some poor sufferer to
whom every one of the sounds gives keenest
torture; and whose recovery of health may be
deferred or absolutely prevented, by these out
bursts ofhis neighbours high health. H. T.

Rosy and warm the freight falls
In the rich mans home tonight,
On the pictures hanging against the walls,
And the children's faces bright.
They have parted the curtains crimson fold
Away from the window high,
And their eyes look out at the whirling snow
And the dull and stormy sky.
Their dainty garments are rich and rare,
Their faces are fair to see,
And the golden GLEN of their shining hair
Is as bright as crown might be.
And many stranger stops to smile
At the picture warm and bright
The beautiful children looking out
On the dark and wintry night.
With tattered garments and faces thin,
Abroad in the bitter cold.
The poor mans children are looking in
Through the curtains crimson fold.
The bleak wind tosses their rags in scorn,
Their feet are aching and bare,
While they gaze at the beauty and warmth
within,
And the children's faces fair.
think as hasten along the street,
OF the beautiful home above,
Where the rich and the poor alike will meet,
And share in the Fathers love.
The Lord will open the shining door,
And gather his dear ones in,
The rich with their soft and dainty robes,
And the poor with their garments thin.

Adjournmentof Congress.

The state of business in Con-
gress, says a special to the
Cincinnati Gazette, is such as to
render an adjournment previ-
Gus to the 10Th of June abso-
lute!y impossible. Not a sim
gle appropriation bill has yet
passed Congress, and the first
important bill that has been re-
ported from the Appropriation A
Committee has not yet passed
the House and is not likely to
pass the House before the 1st
of April. This will leave only
two and half months for the
contests between the two Hous-
es relative to the appropriation
bills before the Republican ma
tional convention. 1t is Who'll
ly probable that several of the
important appropriations will
not pass previous to that date;
indeed, it is practically i'm
possible for them to pass under
the circumstances. 1t is pro-
posed, therefore, that Congress
take a recess from the 10th Of
June until the 1st of July, and
then return and finish it's work.
This will put several of the ap-
preparations over into the next
fiscal year, and will keep Con-
gress in session all summer.

MIR. Skidmore's Bugle.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.


Mr. Peter Skidmore, of German.
town, plays little on the bugle.
One night last summer he went
into the parlor, in the dark, and
felt over the top Of the piano for
the horn. 1t happened that his
aunt from Penn's Grove had been
there that day and had left her
brass ear trumpet lying on the pi.
ano, and Peter got hold of this
without perceiving bis mistake, as
the two were of similar shape. -
He took it in his hand and went
out on the porch where Miss
Mills was talking to his sister. -
He asked Miss Mills if she was
fond of music on the horn, and
when she said she adored it, he
asked her how she would like for
him to play Ever of Thee and
she said that was the only tune
she cared anything for. aK sta
So Peter put the small end of
the trumpet to his lips and blew.
He blew and blew. Then be
blew some more, and then he
drew a fresh breath and blew a
gain. The only sound that came
was a kind Of hollow moan, which
sounded so queerly in the dark
ness that Miss Mills asked him if
be was not well. And when be
said be was, she said that he went
exactly like a second cousin of
hers that had the asthma.
Then Peter remarked that the
horn was out of order, somehow,
for "Ever of Thee" but if Miss
Mills would like to hear "Sweet-
ly | dreamed, love-" be would try
to play it; and Miss Mills said
that the fondest recollections clus.
tered about that melody.
So Peter put the trumpet to his
lips again and strained his lips Sc
verely in the effort to make some
music. 1t wouldn't come, but he
made a very singular noise, which
induced Miss Mills to ask if the
horse in the stable back of the
house had heaves. Then Peter
said he thought that somebody
must have plugged the bugle up
with something, and then asked
his sister to light the gas in the
entry while be cleaned it out. -
When she did so the ear trumpet
became painfully conspicuous, and
both the girls laughed, When
Miss Mills laughed, Peter looked
up at her with pain in his face,
put on his hat and went out into
the street where be could say o.
yer some sensational language to
himself. =
He is courting another girl
now, and learning to play on the
piano.

The following is the independ-
ent opinion of the Springfield
(Mass. } Republican on The North
ern Methodist Church as a politi
cal machine:
"The Methodist Church is fore
most among all American church,
es, not excepting the Catholic, tor
political activity. We mean by
this, not that its pulpit is more
attentive to political themes and
the discussion of political princi-
pies, but that tie machinery and
influence of the Chuch are thrown
into personal politics, to work
for this man or that man, too Of
ten irrespective Of morals or pro,
prieties, to an extent which is
rapidly becoming a christian scan
dal. Never since the time proba-
bly, Of JEFFERSON has such promi-
nence been given to the Presi-
dents denOminational relations as
has been given to those Of Gener-
al GRANT, the good Methodist
and never in the history OF the
Republic has the appeal been
made SO openly to sectarian sup
port. At the West the political
work of the denomination is no
torious, and in Iowa particularly
goes into politics, local and Ma,
tional. with an undiscriminating
zeal which has thrown men like
Harlem to the top, Even at home
here we have witnessed the uses
to which the Church can be put
in supporting for Office those whose
political practices have passed un-
der severe judicial rebuke.
"But this is a matter which
concerns the Methodist Church
more than any body else, and
when the Bishops and Elders who
don't approve of this sort of thing,
get tired of disclaiming perform
ances a little more notorious and
offensive than the average, they
will doubtless find other outlets
for the surplus forces Of the de-
nomination"

National Democratic Con.
VentiOnS.

Thus far National Democrat
ic Conventions have met but
eleven times. The first was
held in Baltimore in May, 1882,
and nominated as candidates
for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency Andrew Jackson,
of Tennessee, and Martin Van
Buren,, of New York. In 1886
the next Convention met in the
same place and nominated for
President. Martin Van Buren,;
for Vice-President, Richard NJ.
johnson, of Kentucky. In 1910
the third Convention was held,
likewise, at Baltimore. Van
Buren, and johnson were re-
nominated as candidates for the
Presidency and Vice-Presiden-
cy. The next Convention was
held in 1874, also at Baltimore.
James K. Polk, Of Tennessee,
was nominated President, and
George NJ. Dallas, Of Pennsyl-
vania, Vice-President. In1848
the fifth Convention met in the
same city. 1t resulted in the
nomination of Lewis CasS, of
Michigan, for President, and
VIM. 0. Butler, Of Kentucky,
for Vice-President. The sixth
Convention was held at Balti-
more in 1852. 1t resulted in
the selection Of Franklin Pierce,
of New Hampshire, and VIM.
r. King, of Alabama, as can
didates for President and Vice
President, respectively. The
seventh Convention met at Gin
cinnati in June, 1856. 1t selec-
ted as standard bearers James
Buchanan, of Pennsylvania,
and John G. Breckenridge, OF
Kentucky. The eighth Con-
vention met in Charleston in
Charleston il 1860. After
good deal of quarreling and un-
exampled excitement the South
ern members bOlted and met
soon afterward in Baltimore
The Northern Democrats, who
seemed to have a controlling in
fuence at Charleston, nomina-
ted Stephen A. Douglas, Of IL
linois, and Herschel Y. john
son, Of Georgia, while the
Southern members selected as
their candidates John @. Breck-
enridge and Joseph Lane. The
ninth Convention was held in
Chicago and resulted in the
Of Mcclellan and
Pendleton. In July, 1868, the
tenth Convention met in New
York and nominated Horatio
Seymour and Frank Blair. The
eleventh, which was held at
Baltimore on the 9th of July,
1872, gave sGreelya and Brown.
The twelfth, which is to meet at
St. Louis on the 18th of June,
should give us men of ire
proachable record, men whose
candidacy will of itself be an
earnest of success.
