INTERESTING RELIGIOUS sERYlCES--SERx0N
BY BISHOP KEANE-GRAND MUSIC BIZ CON-
BINED cH0IRs PROM SEVERAL CITIES.
That portion OF the programme OF the
Yorktown Centennial Association, embra-
cling the religious ceremonies In the fore
noon Of Sunday the 10th instant, was suc-
cessfully carried out, the services being
conducted according TO the rites of the
Catholic Church. 1t is estimated that be-
tween fifteen hundred and two thousand
people witnessed and participated in these
services, which were exceedingly interest
ing and solemnly impressive. The gather
ing was principally made uD OF excursion
parties from Baltimore, Washington, Nor
folk, and Richmond-the latter city being
also represented by several OF its Catholic
societies, who came in full regalia, and
were accompanied by Kessnieh's brass
band.
The services took place in the grand pa
viion, which, though in an unfinished con-
ditiOn, was sufficiently completed for the
purposes OF the day. An altar had been
erected in the eastern end OF the building,
and in rcaI Of il were tasteful decorations
Of flags, coats-of-arms, etc. The ceremonies
did not commence until noon, owing 70 a
delay Of nearly an hour in the arrival OF the
eXcursionists from Richmond. They were
opened at II o'clock by Right Rev. Bishop
Keane, who read the prayer for the Church
and the civil authorities, composed by
Archbishop Carroll, the patriot eomrade OF
Franklin. This was followed by the cele-
bration of mass by Very Rev. A. Magnien,
d. d., Superior OF st. Sulpice Seminary, OF
Baltimore. Rev. DR.. p. j.. Chapelle, Of ST..
Josepb's church, OF Baltimore, and Rev,
DIR. ID. j. OConnell, Of Richmond, acted
rs assistant priests.
At the conclusion OF the mass, Bishop
Keane delivered one OF the most ornate and
appropriate discourscs ever listened to. IL
abounded throughout with the most pa
/ triotic and chaste sentiments, and embodied
an eloquent tribute 10 France for the part
/ that nation had taken in securing our indO-
pendcnee.
The music for the occasion was rendered
I by choir OF about seyenty-fye ladies and
/ gentlemen-membcrs Of chOirs from Balti-
more, Washington, Norfolk, and st. Peters
Cathedral, OF Richmond-the accompani-
meut being played by the Fifth Maryland
Regiment band OF Baltimore. The Sc
I lcctions consisted OF the HTie EleiSOn,"
from Mozart's Twelfth Mass; " GlOriG IN
/ ErceiSiS," e" Sdact,tS," and "AgHuS Del"
| from Haydn's Second Mass; the IIalleluiah
chorus from UandePs "Messiah," and the
" 1e DeiHR," the latter being sung in uni
son by the combined choirs and congrega-
tiOn. The music was pronounced by all TO
have been magificently rendered, and the
singers were the recipients CT numerous
compliments.
Tie services, which hsted nearly two
hours, were concluded By the Bishop adj
ministering the episcopal benediction, after
which the congregation was dismissed.

YOUTHFUL BURGLARs.-O Sunday eve
ming about o'clock, when Mr.. II. r.
Ralston, OF the firm of Ralston d Blunt,
grocers, corner Of Cary and Pine streets,
went into the store to light the gas for the
night, he discovered a negro boy named
Walker Bland kneeling ON the floor behind
the counter endeavOring to get into the
money-drawer. Another negro boy, named
Harrison Archer, came in behind Mr..
RalstOn, and before the discovery was
made called out to his companion, "Iii,
Walker, come out; here de squerl out
'ere." His quick wit was Of no avail, how
ever, as Mr.. Ralston, with the assistance Of
Mr.. Hunter Blunt captured both the
young rascals and turned them over to the
police. They were before the Police
Court yesterday morning, and sent on TO
the grand jury. The youthful burglars got
into the store by stealing key from the
door OF the side entrance leading to the
dwelling OF Mr.. Blunt, over the store, and
unlocking the door in the rear. IL was not
known before that the key fitted both
doors. Nothing was stolen.

People Begin to Ask Themselves.

People begin to ask themselves every
where what has this great Republican
party done and what is it doing for the
country? They see it just now engaged
in a desperate fight over the public plum
der and neglecting every public interest
in this disgraceful scramble. And as
they look on with contempt at this ex-
hibition, which has about as much dig
nifty as first class dog fight, they recall
4he fact that under Hayes it did little
else than carefully conceal the stealing
which it fostered, and that with loud and
interminable professions of virtue in the
last dozen years it has only produced
scandal after scandal, until the whole
history of the party in this period is made
star route, whlskey fraud, carpet-bag,
salary grab and multitude of other job
berries of the basest and most vulgar kind,
mixed in with the most abject subsection
to railroad aud other corporation inf1u-
ences And in all that time no one can
recall without an effort solitary public
service the party has rendered. 1t might
as well inscribe on its banners millions
for plunder, not one cent for the public
interests"
1t has resisted every reform; it has pre-
vented the repeal of every bit of the OBJ
solete and obstructive war legislation; it
has maintained every bad law on the
statute book; it has shown in every i'm
aginable way its total incapacity to deal
with public questions, and whenever pub
lie opinion has oppressed it to do at least
some trifling good it has adroitly got up
some new excitement about the South, or
some new, petty and uncalled for quarrel
with the Democrats with the sole view
to engage the attention of the people and
draw their minds away from public inter-
ests and real questions.
The Republican party has in the gen.
eral opinion fulfilled its mission. Why
should it not go to pieces? Why should
any one of its honest voters mourn over
its disappearance? 1t may not be dead
at this moment, but it is rotten. 1t is
the creature of railroad and other COR
poration and monopoly influences. Its
most intimate relations are no longer with
the people, but with the railroad and
telegraph kings, the Jay Goulds, Stan
fords, Huntingtons and others of that
kind, who own and control its managers
and chiefs. To say that such party,
which deliberately chooses Dorsey as one
Of it's public manipulators and unblush-
ingly gives him, public dinners; which
has protected and honored Robeson;
which openly courts the friendship of
public plunderers; which during four
years sheltered Brady in his Star route
iobbers, and took part of his gains for its
campaign fund after the exposures made
of him in Congress; to say that such a
party. which scarcely conceals its rela
tions with dozen lobbies, and many OF
whose public men live by jobs-to say
that this party, quarrelling now over the
spoils, ought to live is absurd. 1t has los
even the respect for public opinion which
leads iobbers usually to divide their spoil
in private.

V :
The AGE OF THE EARru. The age of
the earth is placed by, some az five hum
dred million years by others one hun-
dred million years, and still others flater
time, among them the Duke Of Argyll,
place it at ten million years. None
place it lower than ten millions, know
ing what processes hayc been gone
through. Other planets go through the
came process. The reason that other
planets differ so much from the earth ia
that they are in so much earlier or later
stage Of existence. The earth must be-
come old. Newton surmised, although
he could give no reason for It, that the
earth would mt ono time lose all it's water
and become perfectly dry. Since then it
has been found that Newton was correct.
As the earth keeps cooling ii will bsce me
porous, and great Cavities viii be formed
in the interior, which will take Ia the
water. II Is estimated that this process
tis now in prugress; so far the water d.
mlnishea as about tho rate of the thick
ness of sheet c. writing paper each
year. A. this rate in 6,000, 900 years the
water will have sunk mile, in 10000.
600 every tracesog water sill have disan-
peared from the face of tho globe. The
nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere
are also diminishing all the time. It is an
inappreciable degree. but the time will
come when the air win be 80 thin TINT
no creatures we snov could breathe IL
and live; the time will come when the
world oannot support life. That, will DO
the period of old nge, and then will come
death. Prof. R. C. Proctor.
