FLORAL DAY AT BEACON STREET CHURCH.
The galleries, walls and altar were trimmed
with festoons of oak trimming while about
the altar and chancel were arrayed potted

flowers. Behind the altar in the large recess
was painted the motto, "Charty suffers long
and is kind" and beneath, 1--WE will rejoice
and be glad"
In the morning there were addresses by the
superintendent, teachers and others, with a
floral service by twenty-four young ladies who
held in one hand wreath with motto in

Consul CatIIn's Promotion.

COHSuA CEAKAtn1S FTOnhOuOns
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 It will doubtless bee pleasure to you to all low the use of your columns for the publica- tion of the complimentary notices concerning the recent promotion of Mir. George l.. Cat lin CYale 1s6O) from the United States con sulship at La Rochelle, France, to a similar post at Stuttgard, Wurtemburg.
 The extract is from the daily paper of Ro- chelle, "La Charente Inferieure," edition of April 7th. After mentioning the proposed change, the editor proceeds to say: "This is an honor deservedly bestowed by the Govern ment at Washington upon an amiable func- tionary. who has succeeded in attracting to himself the sympathy of all classes in our city and who has reflected upon his own country the friendship which we feel for him. He is, moreover, distinguished ltterateur, and has never missed an opportunity to mag nifty in his writings the beauties of our land and to defend it's commercial interests. We earnestly hope that his sojourn in Wur- temburg will not alienate MT. Catlin from France, and that We may soon see him occupy at Paris the important post of Consul General, not to say that of ambassador"
 brief resume of Mir. Oatlin's career may be interesting. Graduating with honors in a class of exceptional ability (among whom he was recognized as talented poet and humor- ist), MT. Catlin served his country nobly during the war. At the close of hostilities he found himself in New Orleans, where he became local editor of the Daily Crescent. He came to New York city in 1869, where his talent soon secured him place on the staff of the Commercial Advertiser. He soon relinquished this for other forms of literary labor, but rs- turned to it in 1873, distinguishing himself by his column of editorial notes, consisting of short and piquant paragraphs. Here he wrought till 1877, when, by appointment of the present administration, he departed for the foreign service.
 It is gratifying to note the scordiai esteem of the French people which MT. Catlin has earned by his efficiency in office. His pro motion reflects credit upon the fidelity of President Hayes to the principles of civil service reform. If that plan has not worked as successfully at home as we might have hoped, it's application abroad is none the less satisfactory. The writer thinks that Mir. Catlin's case is not especially unique, but serves as an illustration of the greatly i'm proved character of our official representa-, tives in foreign ports. AS son of Yale, our alma mater" will feel herself honored anew in the compliments bestowed upon MT. Cat lin.

HOW TIT WORKS IN NEW YORK.


 When the agents of the Municipal Gas l Company were asking leave of the Conneoti- cut Legislature to operate in New Haven, they promised immense benefits to the gas-users of this city. The same benefits were prom ised in New York city, where the Municipal Gas Company obtained . foothold. It has already been found necessary to form Mu- nicipal Gas Consumers' Protective Associa- tion in New York, and the remarks made and action taken at the second meeting of the organization indicate that the Municipal Gas Company has not yet done enough for it's patrons to earn their lasting regard and praise. It persuaded consumers to purchase the "watsr process gas by promises of e sapness, and having got them it put the price up to figure which is deemed exorbi- tant. This action called forth lively express sions of indignation from the speakers, who charged gross misrepresentation on the part os the company. Mir. Garrison, proprietor of the Grand Union Hotel, was one of the speak CTS, and in the course of his remarks made an important statement. He said that in the Grand Union Hotel where there are S21 burners, the Mutual Company furnished in 1OII, Lno year H1tA may, 1,Oo5, fUu feet of gas, at a cost of $4,674.75, and in 1878 1872, s2o for $4, 76.55-the decrease being due to regulators on the burners-while in 1879, having changed to the Municipal Com- pany, the amount was 2. 13O, 800 feet, costing $5, 155 22, and for the present year up to April 1S-two weeks before the end of the year the amount was 2,624, ,o0O feet, costi ng $5,- 3s1. 3D. He claimed that the Municipal Com pany had misrspresented the quality of their gas, and, instead of less, it took more for the same amount of light. committee was sp- pointed to find out from the Board of Alder men and Corporation Counsel what rights the Municipal Company has under the law, and determined effort is to be made to compel the company to keep it's promises or retire from business. A protest against its action has been drawn up and hundreds have already signed it.
 This is the way that benefactor of the pso- pie, the Municipal Gas Company, has worked in New York. Perhaps, on tho whole, it is just as well that the Connecticut Legislature did not give it permission to operate in New Haven.
