THE eEoRGErowN ORCHESTRA.
Its RehearSRI Mt the Congregational
Church Last Night.


Church Last Might.
The eleventh public rehearsal of tho
Georgetown Amateur orchestra took place Mt
the Congregational church last night. The
large auditorium was completely filled with
tho friends of this organization. President
Arthur and the Hon. George Bancroft were
present by special invitation. Mr.. A. A.
Hayes the conductor, showed good judg-
ment in the selection of his programme,
for while tho symphonic of Beethoven
formed u conspicuous feature, the more popu-
lar element as portrayed in the waltz and
march was also represented, and added
no little to the enjoyment OF the concert.
The programme was we'll rendered rs
whole The bowling of the violins was
noticeably uniform, and showed the
careful attention given to details
at the rehearsals. The most pretentious
work given was Beethoven's V symphony,
op. 81. Each of the four movements wero
heartily spplsudod and tho orchestra is to be
congratulated upon this effort. STRAUSS
Kaiser Franz Joseph Jubilanus march
brought out a wel-deserved encore. This
march is new here and is very effective.
The Franz Abt club, under the direction
of Mr.. Z. 3. Holmes, which made its first
public appearance last week, met with per-
feet ovation after their rendition of the
young Musicians" The voices are strong
and we'll balanced, and evidenced careful
training. In response to a very emphatic en-
core "Syr Franklyn's Dogge" was given.
Mr.. E. ]. Whipple was in excellent
voice, and sang the Moorish Love Song"
by Mr.. 8. II. Jecko, Of this city, with
splendid effect. This song has" become de-.
servedly popular and ranks among the best
barytone concert selections AS an encore
Mr.. Whipple sang Tom Moore's This Earth
is Planet" Tho introduction of these vocal
numbers was an agreeable innovation on the
programme. At the conclusion of the con.
cert Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes received their
friends ut their residence, on Rhode Island
avenue and were entertained by the Franz

from our intention to be lAy wise
personaItowards the learnedEra nmar
ian who occupies the editorial chair
ofthe Record, whose "correcssyntax"
and good grammar" is 40 doubt
ne plus ultra. We still intend as we
promised, at some future time, to dis
cuss, properly and fully, the asatter of
the county printing, and we regret
that the over-sensitive .na.usA Of our
weekly contemporary could not stand
the pressure until time wouEf permit
us to do so. When we were al school
we remember of once parsing a
sentence in our grammar which read
thusly: comparisons are odious and
should be avoided !" and hence always
keeping the virtue Of that adhionition
in view, we decline, very respectfully,
to discuss, either in the positive, CON-
parative or superlative degree the

There is no doubt aboutsit, the

speaking, what is left of it since the
heart or better element of waat once
constituted it has departed thereform
and decided to oppose the selection
of the notorious "dodger" frora Maine,
as the President of an intelligent,
honest and free people, has become
"a much distracted party" as the
Herald truly calls it. But the Herald
is either ignorant or feigns ignorance
as to what are the views ef New
York's reform Governor upon the
tariff" which the Herald will dis
cover, if it does not already know, it
will play a very insignificant part in
the present campaign, when tie great
er moral question that is involved is
paramount to all others that are just
now undergoing political DISGUST
ton before the grand inquest Of the
American public. Mr.. Clevelaad, hav-
ing endorsed the Chicago platform,
would refer the Herald and its read
ers thereto, as embodying his views
upon the tariff, and which seems to
be nightmare to the Herald and
which it says is Fin the interest of
the peace of a much distracted
party" If the Herald woald pains
takingly examine it, it would learn
that the democratic definition of q
tariff is noneother than a tsx upon
foreign articles imported into this
country While II is in the arst in
stance paid by the importer, it is
ultimately paid BY the consumer.

scme or the Recent Meteorological Chnuges.
We had lively earthquake on the 10th,
which was followed by another and stronger
shake on the morning OF the 10th at SAG
O'Clock, says a letter from Phoebe, New.
This time a slight rumbling noise was
heard. The tremor continued three TO I've
seconds. awakened those who were sleep
ing at the time, and was very generally no.
tieed. The best evidence obtainable Is
TO the effect that the undulations moved
from south to north, though many stated
that they came from the west. NO dam
age was done here. A lighter shock
was observed by few persons at ll:45
O'Clock. aud another, still lighter, in the
afternoon at 3:55. l give merely these that
are well authenticated. Some claim (and l
think, perhaps, with TRUTH that during the
thirty-sx hours following s O'Clock OF the
10Th the earth was not quiescent for q SIM
gle hour together. A fine ring, in orange,
blue, and white. around the sun at dis
tance OF about 300 from il, caused much
comment on the 10Th rs being an un-
usual sight. It was doubtless caused by
the refraction of the suns rays by the
particles Of moisture with which the air
was almost saturated at the time. In fact,
the air Of Nevada now seems always full OF
moisture. Up 10 the oath OF January we
had an ordinary season-cloudless skies,
warm days. and comfortably cold nights.
On that date commenced storm period
which has continued until this writing.
This is five times as long as any previous
season Of the kind, and very low estimate.
based on the water collected from 4 certain
roof. places the total fall of water in rain and
snow at 80 inches during the five months. /
am certain this Is far below the true figure.
The mists that for weeks hung on the hill-
tops and spread over the valleys reminded
one mere Of landscape in Oregan than OF
one IN Nevada. Now the hills and valleys
that before. as far as the memory OF man
ruuneth. were clothed in an unyarying
