Grand Army Camp Fire,

Admiral Foote Post, Grand Army of the Republic, had very enjoyable gathering at their hall in the Atheneum- building on last Saturday evening. At the business meeting which preceded the social occasion twelve new recruits were mustered and twenty five new applications for membership were re- ceived. During the evening large and very handsomely framed picture of the late Rev. Geo. A. Parkington, who was member of the Post, was presented by W. A. Beers, the pho tographer. It is a fine work of art. On the conclusion of the regular business Comrade John Mccarthy, who is chairman of the Post social committee, called Commander Sloat to the chair, and under his direction an old fashioned ''camp fire' was enjoyed. ''Par- son" Isbell, of WestviIle, recited in fine style several of his best selections, which were much enjoyed by all present. Interesting addresses were made by Comrades c. J. Buckbee, A. c. Hendrick, E. s. Greeley, F. H. Waldron, Charles E. Fowler, D. W. Gros- venor and others. The camp fire was a con- plete success and those present hope that others like it will speedily follow.

The Graxs, Promenade.

meeting of the Grays' promenade com mittee was held Saturday evening, General Merwin presiding. Lieut.. Gov. Bulkeley and the ladies of his family, it was learned, will attend. Lieut.. Gov. Bulkeley's grand recep- tion at his residence in Hartford prevents him from attending at the opening of the promenade, but he will be due at about Il o'clock. We learn from MT. H. H. Bunnell and others of the committee that the sale of reserved seats opens at Peck Sperry's at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning, each ticket en- titling to two reserved seats. The interest created over the promenade betokens the most happy realization of the design of the committee, which is a promenade unsur- passed in many years and equal to any in the past history of the organization. Favorable responses are being received to invitations from all quarters, and there will be, it is safe to say, grand collection of guests from this and other States. The boxes will be sold to- morrow evening and there will be spirited sale and fine time. An observer reports matters lively at the fashionable dressmakers' and at the dry goods emporiums, and the toilet display is going to be specially fine one. Business in silks and satins and trim mings is brisk. MT. George Robinson's hav- ing taken the contract for the orchestral mu- sic, there is perfect safety in entertaining very high anticipations. The music for the promenade will be by Wheeler & Wilson's band, their programme for concert and prom enade being as follows

Burglary.

Last evening August .Kapitzke, who has 8 bakery and lives at No. 27O West Water street, went with his wife to Germania Hall On their return home they found that their house had been entered by burglars and be- tween T5OO and 5000 had been stolen. The burglars bored holes in rear door of sufficient size to reach the bOlt which they pushed back and then gained access to the house. The money was in bureau drawer and was principally in bills. Mir. Kapitzke says that part of the money belonged to lodge of Odd Fellows, but declined to tell the name of the lodge The police were notified and last night were engaged in working up the case.

Silks, Satins, BrOcades.

We are now showing the largest assort- ment, the most choice goods and rarest nov cities that are obtainable. The immense sales on these counters by far exceed our most sanguine expectations.
 It is we1l-known fact that Brown, Bolton & Go. sell more Silks and Dress Goods than any other two houses in New Haven. Why ? Because their assortments are the largest and their prices the lowest. In this department they are even beyond the competition of met ropolitan houses, as is daily attested by our hundreds of lady patrons who, after shop ping through New York's best uptown hou- ses, acknowledge themselves better suited at our counters.
 Ladies desirous of obtaining some of the unparalleled bargains we are offering in low and medium priced Dress Goods should do so at once. We will continue to offer during the coming week startling bargains that can- not be found elsewhere.

 Some few changes in real estate sales are mentioned as on the tapis. but no decided upward tendency is yet manifested in the price of the article. The high prices of five or six years ago sound odd-i in comparison with the more moderate expectations of the present time, still real estate holds it's own as well as it does anywhere in the city unless it is on Chapel street Two small one-story and half wooden houses have just been erected near Mill river on the lower ground just back of the Porter blaming mill This locality has grown rapidly and the presence of the mill has probably been no hindrance to that result.

MAURICIo DENGREMoN,

Eugenio Mauricio Disagreement, the young
 Brazilian violinist, appears this evening at
 Peck's Grand Opera House It is scarcely
 necessary to rehearse the already well known
 events of Dengremont's short life. He is of French descent on his fathers side while his mother is Brazilian. Dom Pedro, the En- peror, sent the lad at his own expense to Paris, where he was instructed in the bril- liant style of the modern French violin school by Leonard. Dengremont's sovereign has still further shown his interest in his talented and youthful subject by granting him pen sion in order to pursue his musical studies. Dengremont's age has been variously esti- mated at twelve, fourteen, and sixteen years But we learned the other evening at Roster & BiaPs, where he was then playing, that the boy is just sixteen years of age. New York papers have been teeming with glowing accounts of his enthusiastic reception by enraptured audiences. At the fourth concert of the Symphony society in Steinway Hall, young Mauricio was called before the audi ence no less than seven times, the applause being so great that Dr. Damrosch was obliged to begin the march closing the programme in order to stop it. He is very handsome little fellow, with delicately-chiseled features, fine expressive eyes, and dark, waving hair brushed back from full, open forehead. Ere he begins playing he attracts one by the bright, intelligent and sweet expression of his face, as well as by his unaffected, graceful manners. But when he draws his magic bow across the, cherished Stradivarius, the enchant- ment is complete; only an occasional passage requiring matured mind to grasp and render its full meaning, recalls us to the fact that we are listening to a mere boy-yet boy who has already won great renown through the musical centers of Europe and South America, a boy for whom his great compeer WilheImi has prophesied brilliant future, and boy whom many of our best critics declare to be without equal in this country as 8 violinist. Manager Theodore Horrman will present be- fore the public of New Haven Master Den gremont this evening, followed by matinee tomorrow afternoon, in both of which Den gremont will appear, assisted by the soprano, Miss Annie Trafford, and the Brazilian pianist, Hubert de Blanc, who will give several classi- cal compositions. Of course, the supreme will be the young Brazilian and his wonderful playing. The reception given to Dengremont will in 8 great measure decide the question whether we shall again be favored by first-class talent such as Georg Henschel, Lillian Bailey and Joseffy. Below we give the programme for Dengremont's

Miss Jennie Smith and the Revival Work
 at the Different Churches.

Miss Jennie Smith spoke at the railroad meeting in the hall on Meadow street last evening. The room was crowded, and the standing room was occupied. Several gave their experience. Miss Smith seemed to gain the hearts of all her hearers and she spoke for about three-quarters of an hour. Her re- marks were not based upon any particular text, although the idea that 'now was the &C., cepted time" was the prevailing thought. She is an interesting, ready speaker, and im- presses all as a devoted Christian woman, whose heart and soul are wrapped up in her work. She was bedridden for sixteen years, during which time she never sat up and was given up to die, and she attributes her cure to prayer. She says that all at once in an- swer to prayer she rose up and walked. She walks without cane, though apparently with some difficulty. She spoke at the Third M. E. church yesterday morning, giving her experience, and at the First M. E. church last evening, where there was a revival ser vice, and some twenty or thirty went forward for prayers At this service the Rev. Dr. Adams made an appeal. This meeting was also largely attended. It was held in the au- dience room and it was crowded.

Washington.s Birthday.
Sermon by Rev. Dr. Stff1er at the Fir
 Rautfst Church.

Sermon by Rev. Dr. Stf1er at the First
 Baptist Church.
 At the First Baptist church last evening Rev. Dr. Stifer preached fine discourse, his remarks having some reference to the con- ing birthday of Washington which occurs to- morrow In the audience were many of the members of the Washington and Pioneer Councils, Order of United American Mechan- ics, with their families. The pulpit was taste- fully draped with the American flag, while immediately back of the organ were the words ''Welcome Friends" The preacher dwelt particularly upon the duty of nations to fear God and keep his commandments. The Jewish nation was referred-- tc as one that feared and acknowledged living God, and so long as they did this they were prosperous. He thought it no use to stamp God upon our banners unless he was also stamped upon our hearts It is, said the speaker, folly to stamp on our coins 'sIn God we trust' unless we believe truly in God. There are too many who claim to believe in God, yet they do not possess him. We not only want God as our ruler but we must take him as our father Speaking to the society before him, he said that mechanics had revolutlonlzed the world, and the time is coming when tele- grams will cost no more than the postage on our letters. If, however, we forget God, ruin will come to the nation. The dear name of Washington will have no more charm if we forget Jesus. He who has the experlence of Gods love cannot be cheated by soph1s- try Mr. Ingerson has taken larger job on his hands than he can manage. Let this na, ton get God in their hearts and you might as well try to pluck star from the frma- ment as to attempt to blot it out. He that hath God hath Gods strength. The works of Confucius, Buddha and other heather writers were compared to the Bible, and the speaker said that the superiority of the Bible rested in it's teaching us how to be saved II was a great photographic album which on every page gives us a new expression ot Gods countenance. It is picture of a lov' ing God, and looking at the cross all pictures of Him come together in cne. It was He who gave us our Washington, 1t IS lie who gives us our existence as nation. It was He who died for us, and it is He who died for us that says, 'Let him who thirstetf |'come and partake of the waters of life free ly."
 The sermon was listened to with strict at. tention by the large audience in attendance.
