Of Georgia, as they slope toward the Gulf
Of Mexico. The meeting numbered 800,
embracing members from hundreds OF
miles in the south. The preliminary ex-
ercises were singing and exhortatiou or dis
cussion, the speaker first announcing some
point Of doctrine or religious thought. The
hymns were delivered by reading one line
only at time. The arrangements for ad-
miBistering th 10 ordinances were made by .
double circle of seats, those allotted to the
sisters being in q double row and facing.
The brothers were seated in double 70 /.
Within the circle was another seat for or.
dained and officiating elders, the table with
bread and wine I; the buckets, basins and
towels beiug under the table. The bread
and wine were first passed around up the
officers Of the church, after which came the

BRASS BANDS.
The Deadly Character OF the American
Organizations.

The fatal character Of American brass
bands in thas described by the funny ..lan
of the N. Y. Tunes:
The effect Of the brass band upon the
health aud spirits OF community where 1t
prevails can be ascertained with very little
investigation, and even DR.. Tracy could
probably find out something about 1t In the
course Of 10 or Is years Of careful observa-
ton. 1t is Of great use to unprincipled
hotel-keepers in confusing the mind OF the
travelling public and paralyzipg its will.
For example, there is hotel at the head
OF Lake George where the steamboat from
the lower end of the lake and the stages
from the railway station stop before pro-
ceeding to the other hotel. Whenever a
stage or steamboat is sighted the astute
hotei-keeper orders his band to play. 1t is
probably one Of the most deadly bands in
the country, and tho traveller who hears it
straightway becomes wholly unable to per-
form the simplest process Of thinking. He
may have previously determined to 20 to
~s~SASa AS'o'S WV WIN buO awful bUTdlDB OF
the brass band ringing IN his ears, he falls
an immediate and helpless prey to horde
OF colored walters, and is led into the hotel
busted, assigned to q room, and taken to
dine with the other prisoners in the great
hall before he realizes bis condition. This
power Of tho American brass band to pro-
duce mental imbecility and total loss of
will power is an evil which caunot be
over-estimated, aud which cau be combat
cd only by the complete suppression of the
band.
Many persons imagine that the disorder
which frequently disgraces exc urslop par
ties is due to iutemperance. On the con-
trary,i 1t is due to the inevitable bcsss ba I'd.
Men may embark on board an escu, ,sion
steamboat where not a drop of ardent spir-
its cau be obtained, and after hearing the
brass baad play the "Nulligan Guards" and
Whoa Emma" " fifteen times each, they
fall upon one another in frenzy. and fight

operations OF course, no oos can. It is |
then the fatal influence of the baud which |
leads the mild tailor to rise up and harm |
the unofending shoemaker, and TRANSFORMS
the peaceable baker into bloodthirsty ma
MAC. 1t 10 in vain that the police authori-
tics try to keep the peace where brass bands
exist. 1t cannot be done, for the bass drum

tear each others hair and to throw camp
stools at men who have not even been for
