Loud smens were heard on all Bides There was singing and shout ing and eating From to o'clock Q supper was eaten in the hall on Union street. the evening the whole company went out for 8 walk and made the streets resourd with inharmonious music Drums, flies and tambourines were used to swell the chorus A meeting was held on the State House steps as usual At tho hall another meeting was held Captain Hughes of Brooklyn, Captain Happy Bob" of Harlem, Captain Hunter of Bridgeport, Major Moore of Brooklyn, William Thompson, aid-de- camp, and others made speeches The stage was filled and the audience room nearly so. Major Moore presented the colors at 1O:32. Captain Halssy and Lieutenant Vail received them in the name of the Second Connecticut corps, which is the name which the New Haven company bears Major Moore said the red of the flag stood for the blood of the atonement, the blue border for heaven on earth, and the star in the center for the fire of the Holy Ghost. He said further: "In the name of our great commander, Jesus Christ, and our captain, William Booth, l present these colors. Garry them into every sIum and against every opposition" The .sArmy Flag was then sung, and the scene was too enthusiastic for description The stage, filled with men and women shouting in wild way at the tops of their voices, beat ing tambourines and drums and jumping up and down, waving their hsndkerchiefs, made a scene that once seen could never be for gotten. Major Moore said: Those who are glad the Salvation Army has come, give 1t a wave offering" and the whole audience arose and forgot themselves in wild demon strations of excitement It was surely rich season for the Salvationists It is said that the army will hold meetings on the State House steps all winter and that drums will be used:in their street parades-

Bill to Decrease Em1graGion.
 BERLIN, Oct. 25.-In the Reichstag to day Prince Bismarck introduced bill prohibiting the emigration to foreign countries of per sons whose obligations to their country, fam flies, creditors and employers are unfulflled. The bill is especially directed against a class who have hitherto found in emigra. ton an easy and effective method of severing onerous or disagreeable family tics, breaking contracts with employers and evading the payment of debts. taxes &c. It is believed that should this bill become a law, which it undoubtedly will there will be very per- ceptible decrease of the number of Germans who seek homes in foreign lands.

This he seemed to reallae. but taking advantage of the first opportunity he deliberately threw himself into 6 furnace of boiling glass before those who were standing within few feet of him could prevent it.

 A Grand Victory-The F. H. s. Club.
 The triumph of the F. H. s. club at the Grand Army fair was celebrated by the members with fine banquet at Mir. Barken- til's number of courses were served amid speeches and congratulations. The club achieved Q signal success, polling the largest vote on an occasion of the kind ever known in the city. This statement certainly applies to modern times The colonial rec ords ve have not examined. The vote boiled was nearly 2, TOO. The next highest was that of the locomotive engineers, who boiled about 1,6O0. This was fine showing for ciab of only six members The elegant civic urn won by the club occupied ths center of the table at the banquet at Barkentin's. It is fine trophy, made by the Derby Silver Go. At the fair General Sloat presented the urn in a very graceful speech and expressing the wishes of the Grand Army for the prosperi- ty of the club The president of the club re- ceived the urn and the club gave their s.slogan'' for the G. A. R. The G. A. R. re- sponded with three cheers for the club. The young gentlemen comprising the club are J. de Selding Brown, c. D Merriok. E. !. Atvater, O. B. Damn, R. B. de Bussy, O. E. SIoat, B. b. Ives.
 The club is not the FaIr Haven Social clab as some have supposed. The club were sur prised by MT. Barkentin, who presented them with their banquet as Q tribute of esteem and in honor of their efforts for the c. A R. The club returned their thanks in a body accom- panied with their slogan for Mir.
