LET it rain snakes and beefsteaks in
Kentucky. Only in Cincinnati does it
shower coats, hats and pepper-and-salt
pantaloOns.
Ir is no wonder that the people Of Mon
treal are becoming hot-blooded and revo-
mtionary. They have just had a musical
tournament with sixteen brass bands.
IT is stated as a fact complimentary to
the last Congress that only twenty mem
bers were drunk during the closing hours.
viii some one tell us how many Of these
were from Ohio?
A FAINT odor Of burnt powder is per
ccptblc in the air and the low muttering
of smothercd explosions can be family
heard from alleys and back yards. indie
pendcnce Day draws near
A GANG Of countcrfcitcrs and dealers
in worthless grcenbacks has been un-
carthcd at Reading Penn. Among the
active members were a Prothonotary's
Clerk, and other citizens who have here
tofore enjoyed excellent regulations.
WILL the Potter Committee dissolve
and not call Ampt from his solemn con-
temptation of the sewer openings in this
city? Gentlemen, do not hesitate to
disturb him in these philosophical rchec-
tions; he is boiling over with informa-
ton. Give him chance
JESSE BILLINGS, a wealthy citizen of
Saratoga County, New York, has been
indicted by the grand jury for the al
legged murder of his wife in a manner
which was at once cold-blooded and cow
ardly. People who have kept an eye on
the gallows for years to see rich or in
fuential man hang are anxious to see
how it turns out with Billings.
Mr.. HOWARD HINKLE tells a morn
ing paper reporter the reasons of the
Organ Association for refusing the use of
the organ to the parties that give con-
ccrts in Music Hall this week. His rca-
sons are no better than his English, which
is pronouncing them incorrect and any
thing but in good taste. But the fact
ELECTED in which the public has most in
terest, is, that a plan is on foot to reor-
ganize the Organ Association and keep
control Of the instrument after the mort
gage is cancelled and the instrument
turned over to the Music Hall Associa-
ton. Mr.. FIinklc and his associates may
Us well understand at once that the peo-
pie will not submit to such an outrage.
The Organ Association has become the
most odious institution of the kind with
which the public of this city has ever
hau 10 zeal. It's management Has ptcI
from the first characterized by incompe-
tcncc and gross ignorance, coupled with
spirit of tyranny that was only endur-
able because it was expected to end as
soon as the debt was paid off. The at,
tempt to perpetuate this odious organiza
ton should not succeed. Such a calamity
would be the most serious blow that the
cause of musical progress in this city ha
ever sustained If the Trustees of Music
Hall submit to it they will at the very
onset fail in the important duties to thC
public which they assumed in accepting
that trust. They should resist even tC
the point Of resolving to control the orgaI
OR have it taken from the Hall. The
people demand this of them and will be
satisfied with nothing less.
