The Obsequies of the Late P eter Cooper at
New York Yeste rday.
New YORK, April There is a general
display of flags at half mast throughout
the city in honor of the memory of Peter
Cooper, whose funeral took place to-day.
The funeral was largely attended. As the
hoHr for the services approached the crowd
increased, and additional police were sent
for. The police had no difficulty in pre-
serving order, for the mass of people were
we'll conducted. All the seats in the
church that were not reserved for the
family, friends and delegations were filed
at noon, and many secured standing room
In the rear of the church two hours before
the service began. Shortly after O'Clock
the bells began tolling and Rev. DR..
Robert Collyer, Rev. DR.. Howard Crosby
and Rev. Thomas n. Peters took their
places in the pulpit. Cooper's family en-
tered and the services began with singing
81 heard voice." Rev. Mr.. Peters read
a selection from scripture and the HYMN
'I'll praise my Maker" was sung. The
eulogy was pronounced by Rev. DIR. Collyer
and was followed by brief address and
prayer by Rey. DR.. Crosby. The hymn,
"Guide me, o thou Great jehovah was
sung, and the services concluded with the
benediction.
The remains were taken to Greenwood
cemetery. The bells of the city toIled as
the great procession moved to ,--the Terry,
where it was dismissed. It seemed as though
the population of New York not in
the procession had gathered upon the side
walks and respectfully uncovered, as the
body was borne past. Only one carriage
containing the male members of Mr..
Cooper's family accompanied the body to
the cemetery, where it was deposited in a
vault, to be inferred the coming week.
Among those present at the services
were Gen. Hancock, Whitelaw Ried, VIM.
NJ. EVarts, S. L. NJ. Barlow, John Jay,
Senator John ]. Keenan,, Albert Beerstaedt,
David Dows, the mayor, aldermen and
heads of the different city departments,

Aeeti2an the Joint Anenf

CHICAGO. April IA number of shippers
of dressed beef met in the Office of the
joint agent of the east-bouad pool to-day
and furnished statistics from which the
joint agent will make up a statement to
forward to Commissioner Fink to be used
by him in determining whether the rates
on dressed beef will be further advanced
The grain receivers and shippers met
to-day and considered the proposition of
the east-bound freight line shippers to be
allowed to appoint their own weighmas-
tiers, subject to the approval of the joint
agent. 1t was decided not advisable to
have weighmasters subject to removal by
the roads and the proposition was not &C
cepted, pending further conference to be
held next Monday.

this prevalent course. The devil is not only
abroad, but he evidently has secured
lodgment in the hearts of many, perhaps
the majority, in most communities. The
trite maxim "evil be to him who evil thinks
is daily illustrated. Those who are
evil themselves are always think
ing evil of others, and the
man or woman who places an evil con-
struction upon the acts of his or her &C
quaintance can be ranked as literally pos
sessed of the devil and given over to all
that is evil, retaining little or no element
that is good.
Many an act capable of full and salts
factory explanation is recorded to the alb
solute and permanent detriment of per-
son when an opportunity to explain would
have utterly exploded the scandal. There
is an apparent morbid desire to think and
discover evil of others, and little thought
is given to the words of the Apostle Paul,
who said, Though bestow all my goods
to feed the poor; and though give my
body to be burned, and have not charity,
it profteth me nothing. And now abideth
faith, hope, charity, these sthree; but
the greatest of these is charity"

THE SE4SON OF SONG.

The season of 1882 developed a musical
revival that swept over the country, filling
1t with divine melody. The circuit of the
great festivals. embracing Boston, New
York, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and
st. Louis, laid the foundation for a more
comprehensive series this year. During
the quiet months of the winter careful
preparation has been in progress, and the
months of April, May and June will supply
grandeur of song such as this country has
never before heard. The first great must
cal event IN this country, one that assumed
national proportions, was the visit of
Jenny Lind to the United States. be-
tween thirty and forty years ago.
The thousands that then thronged to hear
the Swedish songstress have since then been
multiplied by tens of thousands who fill
the great festival halls that are never laroe
enough for the accommodation of all who
wish to hear.
Befor the days of railroads and palace
cars the Hutchinson and Baker families
passed through the country, travelling, ia
their own carriages, and singing IL
churches, court houses, and small village
halls. Contrasting that period with the
present, it is wonderful to comprehend
the great growth OF the divine gift. so
nearly the realization Of a rapturous dream
that there is scarcely the power to depict
it, and the remarkable and enthusiastic
devotion Of musical people.

TheIRig Hotel Scheme.

The movement to secure a large hotel for the
city, one which shall be commensurate with the
demands of st. Paul, is at last taking shape.
While the statement relative to Mr.. Dennis Ry-
ans willingness to engage in the matter was
prematurely published, it can now be authorita-
lively stated that If bonus of 5000, 900 can
be raised Mr.. Ryan will erect hotel costing at
least three-quarters of million. This is a prop
osition which should not bel gnored by our citi-
zens and it is gratifying to know that it is not
likely to be. At meeting attended by but a
comparatively few citizens, nearly seventy
thousand dollars was subscribed and an ener-
,getic committee was appointed to continue the
work. With the impetus which the matter has
now received there is no reason why the entire
bonus should not be secured during the present
week. That is all that it is necessary or proper
to say at present.

At the election for municipal oficssr
held in Ohio last Monday, the Republicans
lost Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton land
Toledo among the principal cities of the
state, as well as many of the minor cities
and towns. The legislature being con-
veniently in session, law is proposed to
abolish all .police-boardsin the state and
give the appointment of the police COM
missioners, police clerks, ETC., to
the governor for the purpose
of retaining so much power in
Republican hands. This is an outrageous
partisan resort, but it goes to show how
badly the resultlof the elections hurt. 1t
was distressing April shower, indeed,
when men of high position counsel and
countenance such a shameless proceeding,
and it appears that Senator Sherman not
only approves, but is the supposed sug-
gestor of the programme. Having been
fairly and overwhelmingly defeated at the
polls, it is proposed to rob the people Of
their vested rights by an act of the legis
lature. Shame on such miserable parti
| sanism.
