The Old Huistlredth.
| From the Boston Transcrlpt.1

This unique psalm-tune first appeared in
John Calvin's French Psalter," published
at Geneva In 1543, as the "proper tune" to
the 134th Psalm. GuiIleaume Franc was
musical editor Of this work. He was mas
ter in music, yet all that will be found in
ordinary musical history regarding him is
that he was an "obscure musician Of Stras-
bourg OF the sixteenth century," The
church owes him not few OF her finest
melodies. A melody IN Luther's great
psalter, published from 1924 to 1860. seems
to have suggested the ideas Of this inimita-
BILE chorale. One Of Luther's hymns Of
eight unequal lines, which was set to o
melody OF the Morayian or Waldensian early
church, contains the elements OF the Old
Hundredth. But these were reset and re-
modelled by Franc, who left Strasbourg
and became " canteur" or precentor to
Theodore BeZa at Lausanne. He subse-
quently settled and died Mt Geneva, leaving
as his imperishable monument the music OF
the "French Psater." The music was
afterwards adapted to the hundredth Psalm
in the first "English Psalter" ever pub
| for the use Of the congregation OF English
speaking refugees at Geneva in 1866, OF
which at that time John Knox was minis
ter. The musical editor of the Psalter was
Claude Goudimel, OF Rome, who suffered
martYrdom at Lyons ut the time Of the
massacre of St. Bartholomew because he
had set the English psalms to music. This
Genevan-English psalter was reprinted in
15G3-'4 by "John Day, over the pump in
Aldgate," and Andrew Hart, in Edin-
burgh, and laid the foundation OF the
psalmody of the Protestant churches OF the
world. The words OF this psalter contained
first thirty-seyen psalms written by Stern
hold and Hopkins, the remainder being
written by ten Of the refugees at Geneva.
William Keith, from Aberdeen, wrote the
Hundredth Psalm. This psalter, words and
music, was for some time universally used
by the Protestant churches of England and
Scotland. When Oliver Cromwell got
the Westminster General Assembly OF Di-
vines to prepare new version OF the
psalms in common metre for the use OF the
churches, the Parliament sanctioned it, the
English Church at once adopted it. but the
Scottish people rebelled on the ground that
they had already a better Psalter OF their
own. Cromwell had to come to compro-
mise with the hardy Scots. (The only other
compromise he ever made in his life was
with Cameron of Lochiel. when he and his
army got bewildered in the wilds Of Locha-
ber). This compromise was that in Scot
land number of their favorite psalms
from the old PSalter might be published as
second editions. This was done, and the
music is thus called "old"-the Old First,
Old Forty y-9ourth, Old Hundredth, Old Hum
dred and Thirty-fourth, Old Hundred and
Thirty-seyenth &c

A REMARKABLE BEAR SToRY.-[Salt Lake
letter to Omaha Bee. I'VE will close with
a bear story, tough but true. A few days
since two young men of Cache Valley were
hunting stock in the adjacent mountains
when they discovered a two-year-old Gin
namon bear, which they drove up small,
quaking asp-tree. Having no firearms they
tried to stone him to death, but were un-
successful. One OF them then climbed up
the tree behind the bear, threw lasso over
him and fastened him to the tree. The
other then took his pocket-knife and hacked
at the tree whilst his companion pulled at
the loose end of the lasso. By-and-bye the
tree leaned over sufficiently to bring Mr..
Bruin to the ground, still bound to the
branch. The boys next stunned the crea-
ture with stones, then cut his throat with
their pocket-kniyes, and lastly skinned him
as an evidence of the truth of their story.
Your correspondent not having lost any
cinnamon bears is not anxious to join In
hunts carried out in this very successful but
unique manner.

Three Women in a Pulpit.
EVERY SEVENTH MAN IN THE UNITED STATE
SAID TO BE A DRINKING MAN.

EVERY SEVENTH Man IN The UNITED STATES
SAID TO BE DRINKING MAN.
New York SUM-
The pulpit OF the North Presbyterian
church was occupied last evening by three
women, who were introduced by the Rev.
Mr.. Rossiter as temperance advocates. The
first was Mrs. NJ. B. Holyoke, OF Illinois,
corresponding secretary OF the Women's 8
National Christian Temperance Union. She
is middle-aged, practical in public speaking,
but possessed OF too weak voice Tor the
platform. She wore hat, gloves, and coat.
She said that every seventh man In the
country was intemperate, and that there are
275. 600 licensed houses where liquor is sold,
besides thousands not licensed. Yet in the
face of all this she has received 1000 sign
ers to the pledge within the past fifteen
months.
Mrs. Abbie Storer Doutney, OF Massachu-
setts. is about forty-fye years old, was
dressed in plain black, was bareheaded and
barehanded: brooch was at her throat,
and q long watch-chain hung from her belt.
She possesses q strong, plain face ana
faculty of expression that is astonishing.
Her one gesture is of the hands alternately,
short jerk up and down. She astounded
her hearers by fusilade Of statistics that
were hurled ut them like shot from foW ling
piece. One assertion that was caught was
that there are 297,000,000 gallons OF beer
drank in this country in one year.
Mrs. A. G. Knox, president OF the Wo-
mans Temperance Organization of New
York, spoke Of the religious features OF the
temperance cause. She said that q temper
ance restaurant was established in Fittieth
street, near Seventh avenue, a year ago, and
that o reading-room has been added.

DIR. TUPPER AT RICHMOND CoLLEGE.-An
interesting feature of the instruction at
Richmond College is the Biblical lectures
delivered weekly by the professors and
distinguished ministers and laymen. These
lectures are not strictly theological, nor in
any sense denominational. In the class
rooms and in these public exercises no
word is spoken to which any evangelical
Christian can take just exception. The OBJ
ject OF the Biblical lectures is to infuse q
love OF the Bible, to incite to an intelligent
and apprecative study OF it, and to make
the young men feel that Gods Book is in
perfect harmony with all science.
The lectures are delivered every Wednes-
day morning quarter before O'Clock, and
are open to the public. DR.. Tupper was
the lecturer yesterday, and discussed in
most lucid and eloquent mannert the typology
Of the Old Testament. He laid down the
laws for the Interpretation Of types, show
ing entire familiarity with the subject, ant
applied them with the conclusiveness OF
demonstration to Christianity. The lecture
was chaste in diction, logical in argument,
and deeply interesting. The young men
were so delighted as to insist that the lecture
shall be written out and published.

WOmen'S Clothing.
TLoudon Exanlncr.l


OF late there have been many signs that
women, at least, are becoming alive to the
strong control OF clothes upon their fate.
From time to time we hear of revolutionary
associations instituted to free them from the
weight OF ruchings, and burst for them the
fetters of Valenciennes and ribbons. Now.
it is a band Of sedate English women, who
are pledging themselves to convenient, if
doleful, livery of perpetual black; now it is
the patriotic and contritc ladies OF Prussia,
who, under imperial patronage, swear re-
sistance to their too-fondly obeyed tyrants
and natural foes, the milliners Of Paris;
now.it is fiery squadron OF American ANA
IONS who are enrolling themselves to do
battle with the hostile world for health, hap
pineSs, and trousers.
We all find food for mirth in such asso-
Citations, for we are agreed that dress is a
trifle, and the idea OF an association at all
about such an Indifferent matter reminds us
Of the famous tempest in teacup-and
when trousers get into the discussions we
laugh still more, because it is understood
that the mere name OF trousers is capital
Joke. Yet, after all, there is something to
be said for the women who "agitate" about
their clothes. There is no doubt that the
dress OF western women is cumbrous and,
by it's weight and the impeachment it puts in
| the way OF active exercise, q bondage; there
| is no doubt that it Is unduly expensive, and
there is no doubt that it sins nearly rs often
and as much against artistic as against hy-
sienic fitness. Raiment better adapted to
| the need, lighter to bear, more complete as
protection against yicissitudes OF weather,
allowing the whole body more play, and, il
one may dare to say it, less display, more
lasting, and more graceful, is an improve
ment no sane observer can pronounce un-
needed.
But woman of the smallest self-respect,
whatever might be her courage, would de-
cline to adopt singly, no matter how ra-
tional and modest, costume which could
be a surprise to beholders; and no scattered
missionaries, though looking never so COM
Portable and never so picturesque, could en-
tice the female multitude to initiate their
venture. II ever material alteration Is
effected it must be by the union OF many.
Here is a difficulty at the threshold, for such
union could i'll be achieved except by the
efforts OF an association, and in such cause
the very name of association is hindrance,
suggesting suicidal parade and publicity
over reform in which of all others an I'M
obtrusiye modesty would be essential.
Supposing that difficulty disposed OF, the
fatal difficulty is reached. What should the
dress be? There Is an old round which
runs, "Let us be merry in our old clothes,
for we shall never get new" For want OF
the perfect dress to which fairly repre-
sentative woman's parliament could be got
to agree, the sufferers under too much skirt
will have good q many years yet in which
to sing that chorus.

HANDSOME PRESENT TO REV. Mr.. STE Ell.
Last night Rev. Mr.. Steel, the popular
young pastor of the Broad-street Methodist
church, was prcseEted, at the close OF the
usual Wednesday, service, with q
handsome double-case gold stcm-winder
watch. The watch was presented by the
church members through Mr.. j. n. Will
kinson, OF this city, in IN appropriate ad-
dress, as an evidence Of the esteem and az
lection felt for Mr.. Steel. Mr.. Steel was
much impressed by the kind feelings OF his
congregation in making him such hand
some present, and made very touching re-
sponse when the watch was given him. by
the wav, the young men OF Mr.. Steeps con-
eregation have signed petition asking that
he be retained rs pastor OF the Broad-Street

The Czar &C the Palace OF PeterhoE.
(St. Petersburgh Correspondence OF San francisco
s7t ~sT fitrnnfcle1 =.

The palace OF Peterhotf Is situated on an
eminence facing the bay, and the space be-
tween the extensive but rather plain build
ing has been converted into o beautiful
park. From the central portico Of the pal
nee broad, sloping avenue leads down to
the beach, with wide stream Of water in
the middle, ripping over a bed Of marble,
and line OF splashing fountains on each
side for distance Of mile and half. AT
the head OF this avenue there is q large cir
cular basin with q, group of marble
Nereids in the centre, from which
several immense columns OF water ascend
to the height Of sixty or seventy feet. Around
the basin there are number OF dolphins,
dragons, and nondescript monsters, who. all
send out streams of water, and the whole
surrounded by very pretty fence formed
by diagonal slender Jets OF the sparkling
liquid crossing each other. The waters had
only Just been turned on, and the bands OF
music were tuning their instruments, when
/ entered one OF the many OF the shady
walks which spread out IN all directions,
and few turns brought me to small mar
BILE building in Grecian style, hah hidden
by foliage, with small knot Of people
lounging about the entrance. A short dis
tance away groom was leading q white
charger up and down. Upon inquiry /
found that the Emperor was !insthe build
ing, which contains a bath, and that the
people were waiting to present to him
complaints or petitions. Several old women
wanted to have their conscripted sons re-
turned, while others were suing for the par
don OF some criminal; and though I had
nothing in particular to say to his Majesty,
I concluded to stay and have good look ut
him. We did not have to wait long. The
folding doors opened, and with rapid strides
tall form passed by and had reached the
groom with the horse before any OF the pc
titioners could approach him. As he mount
ed I had full view OF his fair, open coun.
tenance. But his steed was more beautl-
full object to look upon-the noblest horse
I ever saw; OF pure Arab blood,
milk-white, with rosy nostrils, and
gracefulness and strength in every move.
When his imperial master seated himself
the gentle animal turned its head and affec-
tionately attempted to- nibble the Emperor's
boots, but single word started him of on
canter, much to the dismay of the petit
TONERS, who endearored to keep up with
him, holding out their papers. The Car
shouted back few words, telling them to
come to the palace, and disappeared from
view. For the sake OF the beautiful horse,
I was glad to hear that there was park at
Tzarskoie Selo, where all horses who have
ever carried his Majesty on their backs are
kept in idleness and abundance when their
time OF service has expired, and there is no
degradation in store for them to carriage or
even cart-horses when old age comes on.
