the moral principle of the human mind.
Sublime music effects q DEVELOPMENT Of
characteristic of the mind called Sublim-
ity, without which we can love neither
the sublime or beautiful in nature. With
large developne ent of Sublimity, we
love the rolling thunder, the rush Of
waters, the roaring of the cataracts, the
wide wild prairies, the dark gorges of
mountains and the broad expanse of the
Ocean.
The Secular forms Of music appeal to
those principles Of character which con-
stitute Friendship, and sociability, with
out which characteristics we would be
constantly at variance and life would be
a burden-a sorrow-unlight by the
bright CLEANS of the sunshine of truth
and affection. All kinds of music have
their own peculiar effect upon the char
acter of the human race. The effect of
music may be changed by a change of
words; thus words of comic nature may
be sung to the tune of "Old Hundred"
and the effect be entirely different from
that produced by the Long Metre Dox-
ology." Words expressing obscenity
may be sung to the tune known as
Duane Street" and result produced
which persisted in has sent many poor
wretch to the gallows. Yet such an
effect was not produced by the music
b 1T by the obscene vulgar language used
In connection with the music While
the music appeals to the nobler elements
of character the words-if obscene-
appeals to the gross and sensual Music
has been religious attendant in all ages
and among all nations. From patriarchal
Egypt to Emyreal Rome, from Roman
festivities = Brittany, from Brittany to
unclvilized America and the islands of
the sea, Eolus has made his sweetest
Strains heard among Nonlads of all races
and all color. The heather loves his
music produced by the clatter of wooden
paddles accompanied by the rude songs
OF the uncultiVated voices of the wor-
shippers. Musical instruments were used
by the savage children of all nations, and
to day civilization has done much toward
improvement in musical apparatus, and
yet we must say some are opposed to the
use of musical instruments. With all
objections to their use staring us in the
face, would it be too much to assert that
a good performer upon any musical in
strument was never known to be des-
perately wicked. But take a view of
those inside prison walls-the murderer,
the rapist, the vulgar beings guilty Of
desperate crimes against humanity, and
the majority can neither sing well or
play upon an instrument of music. Visit
neighborhoods where the N lsical talent
is deficient and discord and dissersion
prevails. Then let US work for the ad-
vancelnent and building up of this noble
science. Let US sing praises with the
lutte and harp. Let us praise God in
song Let men lift up their voices to
the Most High on every hill. in every
dale, and rejoice that the glad hearts OF
millions are lifted up in praises to him
who is Creator, Lord and Sovereign King

When the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives adjourned last summer, there
was one negro Representative, Rainey,
who was the only man sober enough to
see that the bills were properly enrolled,
and in shape to be presented for the
Presidents signature.
Here is how it looked in the Senate at
the close of the recent session:
SURPRISING AND DIsGRACEFUL.
Special Dispatch to the Philadelphia Record.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The scenes in
the Senate after o'clock this morning
were simply disgraceful. While the
Sergeant-at-Arms was out after Senators
to make q quorum SO that business could
be proceeded with, many of those who
were in attendance got themselves in
maudlin condition, and one or two of
them made speeches which would shock
the delicate sensibilities of the average
American reader should they be allowed
to see the light of print. In his endeavor
to secure quorum the Sergeant at Arms
invaded the Mexican Minister'S house
while the height of the festivities of
fashionable party were in full blast Sen
ator Conkling was found at a private
card party, and, in reply to demand for
his attendance told the officer summon
ing him to go to that place OF which Bob
Ingersoll has no fear. Taken in all, it
was an off night for the potent, grave,
and reverend seignors.

To the Editor of the Standard

To the Editor of the Standard.
am pleased to see in your last issue
that you are disposed to render unto
Cesar" &c. You give President Hayes
credit for vetoing the Republican
anti-Democratic-a nti-honesty-anti-Ch Chi
nese Bill. Y You should remember Stanley
Matthews in connection with that meas
ure, he showed himself a man on that as
he did on the repeal of the law to prevent
Democrats from stuffing the ballot boxes
You need not spend any more time kick
ing F0ster-there never was much of him
but a little local newspaper notoriety-
and has proved himself mere coward in
the presence of the hoodlums. You
walk little roughly into Hon. II. S.
Neal-now there never was much ex-
pected of him and he should not be
asked to rise to any great height. to
meet an emergency-the stuff is not in
him-he Gait help it. God didn't make
him for great man, and probably he
was looking to what would be popular in
the hills of Lawrence county instead of
what was right on a great question touch
ing the interests Of mankind, and the
honor of great nation.
But wrote to thank you for reuem-
ber:ng Hayes kindly once in his term.
Yours, "CHOW CHOW"

THE HEATHEN CHINEE.

So much has been said and written
great many people have been led to
believe him something outside the pale
of common humanity. The "hoodlum"
influence has painted him as being the
embodiment of all that is repulsve in
humanity, and even some of the most
learned and experienced statesmen in
this country have felt it to be their duty
to denounce him.
AS was aptly remarked upon our
streets, few days since, the Chinaman
may be regarded as new niger" in
American politics. and as we may all
hear good deal of him hereafter. it may
be well to note some of his Objectionable
points
In the fast place, it is charged against
him that he is industrious-he will work
Secondly, he will work cheap. Thirdly,
he is very frugal in his eating, requiring
only the cheapest food, and little of it
Fourthly, he is not apt to get drunk and
neglect his work-his employer can de-
pend upon him. He will not loaf around
the doggeries, and swear that he will not
work himself and will not allow any one
else to work. Filthy, he will, if allowed,
attend strictly to his own business.
But it is still further argued that he
smokes opium; and many people believe
that he devours rats. Can opium be any
worse than a d-a-half-cent cigar ?
Or can rats, as steady diet, be any worse
than bologna sausage?
There may be bad Cinnamon there
may be Cinnamon who have repulsive
habits; there may be Cinnamon whose
dwellings are not kept in such sanitary
condition as would be desirable; but can
we, taking all things into consideration,
say that the Chinese are worse than any
other nationality

A correspondent is little rough on
Mr.. Neal We do not doubt the purity
of Mr.. Meals motives. We think he
made mistake, and we think he will
live to see the day that he would rather
that his votes could be blotted from the
record, and from the memory of himself
and his constituents.
Our correspondent should know that
we desire to sustain every officer when he
does right, no matter what errors he may
have committed President Hayes did
a noble act when he vetoed that bill.
Our correspondent in speaking of our
giving Senator Matthews credit should
remember that we published his great
speech in full, from the Congressional
Record thing which few country pa
pers did, and that we introduced it by
saying that it contained more genuine
Christianity than a hundred ordinary
sermons.
