the wheat crop. Lake Shore was one Of the prom

TORKINGMEN,S UNION.

A Meeting Last Night-Evidently Ashamed
of what They Were Doing, They Do 1t In
Secret.
aThe Workingmen's Union, of st. Paul,
held meeting last evening at Turner Hall.
The attendance was meagre, and, after some
delay, M. R. Prendergast called the meeting
to order, there being about thirty members
present.
The routine work was speedily disposed Of,
after which Mr.. T. P. Mumford called atten-
ton to false reports continually spread by
newspapers and otherwise, to the effect that
st. Paul was short of hands, thus imposing
on outside working men, and bringing them
to this city to their own detriment, and that
of the working men here. He considered
the great remedy would be to warn all such
in the columns of the prospective Working
mems newspaper, the institution of which
is contemplated.
At this stage of the proceedings, Mr..
Reinbach proposed that the meeting 90 into
executive session, or, in other words, that
the representatives of the press be excluded
and this motion was adopted by the meeting
and the star chamber was instituted.
The mystery of the further proceedings
was so far penetrated, that it was learned
that the mainsprings of the union wish tt
hatch their bantling of newspaper, shell
tered, not only from the criticism of thu
outside public, but also from any criticism
which might open the eyes of those humber
members of their association who are no
mainsprings.

Mr.. Markoc's Lecture at the Academia Last
Night.
At the Academia last evening Mr.. Markoe, the
talented secretary Of the R Rev. Bishop Ireland, de-
ivered most instructive and exhaustive lecture on
the subject Of church music.
There was large and attentive audience, the
Bishop and several other clergy being present.
Mr.. Markoe commenced his lecture by pointing out
the high place music holds among the arts, and
alluded to it as beink the only one mentioned among
the joys Of Heaven. He spoke of its mastery over
both the better and grosser passions of men, and
how its influence even affects the brute creation IT.
self.
He then went on to show how it was peculiarly
adapted to the worship OF the Creator. We ind 1t
ueed in devotional exercises throughout all ages
and nations, and indeed the colleges Of the ancient
prophets were so many schools Of sacred music The
use Of music in church exercises is both commanded
by God in the Psalms and sanctioned by our Divine
Saviour.
The lecturer next discussed the quality and at
tributes of church music, calling attention to the ini-
al compositions Of the early fathers the founders
Of church music. He showed how abuses and ex-
cesses crept into even the most sublime chants and
most sacred harmonies but claimed that the abuses
of the middle ages were nothing compared to the
degradation of church music at the present day. and
that not locally but universally.
He spoke Of the want Of spirituality, which was
the besettng sin of the chOirs of the present day.
and compared the church with respect to the charac-
ter Of its music and in many instances of the hear
ers, to the, opera music hall.
Then comes the question, ''What is the real and ap
proved music Of the church7" and the answer is,
| 'The properly so-called Gregorian chant" Under
this head Mr. Markoe dwelt at length upon the great
beauties Of the chant and deprecated the opinion OF
those who look upon it as estate, fiat, insipid."
Inconclusion, the lecturer discussed the question
as to whether the plain Gregorian chant il
alone admissible in church music, and this question
| he answers in the negative, urging that surely
church thatRlls the breautiful from all other arts
cannot forbid figured music; or, whilst admitting
l melody. exclude HARMONY.
