HISTORIC cHURCH.
An item Of the greatest interest connected
with the Yorktown Centennial was that OF q
TIE Daltnl service in St Josenh's Catnolc
church. in this city, on SUNDAY last. in com
mRmoration Of the occasion Of thanksgiving
held within its walls one hundred years ago,
after the ca pitulation of Lord Corn wallis. -
The organ used on Sunday last In st Jo-
sAph's chnrch in the grand diapasous OF
Havden's War Mass is the same organ that
rang out its swelling tones in the grand an
them OF ''COlumhia' one hundred years ago,
and cPnturv's strains, il seems. have not
lPsStned its powers. but rather added 70 tho
sweetness of its tones. The service held in
this church one hundred wears ago was no.
ted the most remarkable incident that
marked the reinicinoS which took pface on
account Of Corvallis surrender. st JO-
seDh'S church on the present occasion was
beautifully decorated with the national col
ors. After Solemn HiGh Mass the Ts Deunl
was sung bv fuT choir. with orchestral ac-
cOmpaniments. After the gospel a discourse
apnrOnria'e TO the occasion was delivered bv
Rev. William Frances Clarke nf baltimore.
who delivered the Fnurth of Trlv Discourse
in the same church in the Centennial year.

upon an incident not Tenerallv known IN the
history OF Thanksgiving services of tho differ
ent churches throughout the land hat follow
ed the surrender Of Lord CornwaIIis at
Yorktown. IN Andrews Fnrlish history Of

A DISTINGUISHED ENTERTAINMENT.
The descendentS of the illustrious men who
took part in the siege at Yorktown are to
enjoy the Hospitality of the Academy of
Natural Sciences When distinguished per-
sons are to be- entertained it is thought to be
most proper to arrange a programme of ex-
ercise Which will afford them the greatest
qualification. Opinions dffferas 10 the influ-
ence OF dancing upon the taste and manners
or n community. some of our citizens en-
Enthusiastically claim FOR this accomplishment
the dignity Of a fine art. and saw il Is ''the
poetry Of motion" while others defnur. The
unique figure, however, of the programme IS
to be dance, and the magnificent hall of the,
institution is to be especially arranged for
the festive occasion. The entertainments
will be of such a character that the visitors
at the Academy of Natural Sciences from
both sides Of the Atlantic will long remem-
Der it. The savans of the Academy are re-
ceiving professional Instructions, so that
they will be able to acquit Themselves with
perfect grace and accuracy of motion, althO'
many of them have not INDUCED in exercises

FLOODED WITH PROFFERs or SUPPORT -
First Assistant Postmaster General Tyner
won't resign, and saws he Is flooded with
proffers Of support. He threatens to tell all
he knows about the Star rOHte frauds and the
D
others of the last two Cabinets if he l. push

need not resign, and that he will not be
pushed TO the wall. TyneT'S suppressed re-
