1T PfeifelSs HILL.

The entertainment at Pfeifers hall last
night under the auspices of st. Joseph's
parish, will long be remembered as one of
the most enjoyable events of st. Patrick's
day, and certainly it could not have been
more generally honored. The spacious hall
was filed to its utmost capacity, and the
splendid programme was exceedingly well
rendered and thoroughly enjoyed by the
immense audience.
Among the attractions on the programme
was a farce entitled ''The Irish Tiger" The
cast included Mr.. John Preston, Mr.. P. Nc
Hugh, Mr.. Dan Twohey and Mr.. Ed. Twohey.
The farce was exceedingly well rendered, and
it elected great deal of genuine merriment.
Following this an extravaga MA entitled
''The Dutch JUSTICE was given. The caste
comprised Mr.. P. McHugh, Mr.. John Pres
ton, Mr. Dan Twohey and Mr.. Thos. Conley
These gentlemen gave their respective roles
in an able manner, and the sketch was
hugely enjoyed
Messrs. Thomas Conley and VIM. Collins
then gave an enjoyable song and dance per-
formance, which was artistically given, and
called for an encore. This sketch was en-
titled "The whitewashed negroes" A con-
certed selection was then rendered in an en-
joyable manner by the school children, after
which a ballad was sung by DR.. Muckly, who
possesses a pleasing voice and correct
method of enunciation.
Following this vocal selection was given
by Miss Mary Manahan, assisted by Miss
Mary Dewitt, VIM. Collins and VIM. Egan
this being one of the most artistic and enjoy
able features of the evening
After a recitation by Mr.. j. c. Nolan, which
was gratefully received, a clog dance was Civ
en- by Messrs. Cleary and Collins, followed
with song by Mr.. VIM. Collins, who ac-
quilted himself admirably.
closing address was given by Rev.
Father Nealis, pastor of st. Joseph's, which
was replete with wholesome advice and allu-
sions appropriate to the day. During the
entertainment substantial supperwas given
which was partaken of by all present.

being guilty Of treachery, Of bad faith and
hypocricy, in that, they claimed that they
were doing a certain thing for a certain
reason, when the reason was something else.
1t is not to be wondered at that the authori-
ties were irritated at his action and that he
became the object of assault on the part of
the journalistic representatives Of the govern
ment. No fair man can blame them for
their action. They did no more
assertions Sargent was clearly in the
wrong; what he does not know officially he
has no right to know at all as the representa-
tive of this country. He has no right to
transmit mere opinions as official facts. The
proper thing for the government to do is to
recall him. The trouble with Sargent is that
he is not the minister penipotentiary of the
United States, but simply that of the Repub-
lican party. He is not in any sense diplo-
matist but partisan.
He has the narrowness of a representative
of the party, and that is all. 1t was not as a
representative of this country but as Re-
publican that he presented to Bismarck reso-
lutions which complimented warmly the ac-
ton of men who, he believes, are laboring to
impair the government which he has labored
so long to construct. While it would be a
rebuke to an impertinent partisanship to re-
call Sargent it might be an error to the ex-
tent that the same men who appointed him
would select his successor, who would be also
partisan and one quite as likely
to continue to represent only the
Republican party, as the present encumbent.

Il SILLY FABRICATION.

There is another attempt to boom young
Lincoln in the assertion freely telegraphed
from Washington that he would resign, in
fact, he would lie rather than sign an order
restoring Porter to the army. There is a
good deal that is fishy about this statement
In the first place, while Lincoln has never
shown himself possessed of more sense than
the ordinary average lawyer, it is not sup
possible that he is so comprehensive an idiot
as to announce in advance what he will do
officially in ascase which has not yet reached
him. The invention is a most stupid one,
even in the case of Lincoln, who has never
yet developed anything Of consequence save
in being the son Of his father.
If he has stated that he would not 81 On an
order, if so ordered by congress he should
not be allowed to resign, but should be dis
missed from. his place with ignominy. 1t is,
however, but simple justice to him to con-
clude that this report of his intentions is but
the invention of some imbecile Republican
who has an idea that the circulation of such
balderdash will increase Lincoln's chances
for the presidential nomination. If
the selection of the Republican candi-
date were left to the Democracy Lincoln
would get the choice without a dissenting
vote There is but little more of him than
the fact that he is the son oil his father. His
tory has long since established that great
men do not as rule produce great children !;
in truth, the reverse is the general result.
Nobody has ever pretended that Lincoln has
amounted to anything. While a lawyer in
practice in Chicago he secured no distinc-
ton in his profession. There are a hundred
lawyers in that city who are his superiors in
every essential point Since he has been sec
rotary of war, he has never once risen above
the commonplace, what he has done, he has done
perfunctorily, there is nowhere any evidence
ofgenius. The clerk of ordinary capacity could
have performed as well as he, all that has been
accomplished by him. He is a faithful, plod-
ding official who attends during the day to
his simple routine duties, and devotes his
nights or portions of them, to draw poker,
with the usual Accomplishments of convivial-
ity

Influence of Wo,nan,s Society.

1t is better for you, says Thackeray, to pass
an evening once or twice in lady's draw
ing room, even though the conversation be
slow, and you know the girls songs by heart,
than at the club, tavern or pit of "a theatre
All amusements of youth to which virtuous
women are not admitted, rely on it, are de-
leterious to their nature. All men who
avoid female society have dull perceptions
and are stupid, or have gross tastes and re-
volt against what is pure. Your club swag-
gers who are sucking the butts of billiard
cues all night, call female society insipid
Poetry is insipid to yokel; beauty has no
charms for a blind man; music does not
please poor beast who does not know one
tune from another; and as true epicure is
hardly ever tired of water-souchy and brown
bread and butter, / protest, 1 can sit all night
and talk to a well-regulated woman about
her girl coming out, or her boy at Elton, and
liking the evenings entertainment. One of
the great benefits man may derive from y
woman's society is, that he is bound to be
respectful to them. The habit is of great
good to your moral man, depends upon it.
Our education makes us the most eminently
selfish men in the world We fight for our
selves, we push for ourselves, we yawn for
ourselves, we light our pipes, and say we
won't go out. We prefer ourselves and our
ease; and the greatest good that comes to a
man from a womans society is that he has to
think of SOMEBODY to whom he is bound to be
constantly attentive and respectful.

The DedcOn's Dog.
[Bnston Globe 4


A good story is told of the presence Of
mind of a New Hampshire deacon who was
very fond of dogs. He had one valuable set
ter that he had trained himself, and that IN
derstood his every word and slightest gesture
with an almost human intelligence.
One evening at a prayer meeting the good
man was Offering an earnest eXhortation and
the people sat with bowed heads, giving earn
est attention. The audience faced the stand
where sat the pastor; the doors opened on
either side. All at once one of the doors,
which had been left aiar, was pushed open
and the handsome head of the deacon's fay
orite setter was thrust in. The head was fol-
lowed by the body, and the dog in toto had
just started with joyful bound toward its
master.
The deacon generally knew what was going
on about him, whether he was praying or
shooting, and the first movement of the in
trlder attracted his attention. Quick as a
flash the deacon, raising his hand with a
warning gesture, exclaimed: "Thou hast
given us our charge; help US to keep it.
At the emphasized word so well known to
his canine ear, the handsome brute stopped,
as if shot, on the very threshold of the door,
with his intelligent eye fixed on his master.
In the same unmoved tone, with a slight
wave of the extended hand ''We would not
return back to Thee with our duty on earth
unfultilled.' Again the perfect training of
the deacon's pet was made evident, for with
out a whimper he turned as noiselessly as he
had entered, and remained quietly outside
until his master appeared.

MINLSrER SARGENT.

The position of sargent, our minister to
Berlin, has the appearance of being a very
unpleasant one. He is attacked by the semi
official press with vigor and to an extent
that must be annoying to him, or would be
in case he could read the articles in the
language in which they are written. Fort
unately for his peace of mind, he is ignor-
ant of the language of the country to which
he is accredited, and on this account he es-
capes much mental and moral laceration.
His offense is somewhat indefinite. 1t is
charged in this country by the authors and
supporters of the Lasker resolutions that he
has brought himself into disfavor by the part
he took in placing those resolutions before
the German government; but, as a matter of
fact, the attacks on him were not caused by
the Lasker incident, they were simply inten-
sified. The semi-official organs had been at
lacking him for a long time previous to his
reception of the Lasker resolution; hence,
The origin of the hostility dates
back of the death of Lasker
The real reason of his unpopularity dates
from the publication of his dispatch to this
government, in which he asserted that the
cause of the exclusion of American pork
from Germany was not owing to the trichin-
Gus character of the American product, but
to the desire of the German authorities to
protect their own hog growers. AS matter
of truth, this was very grave charge to be
made by high official. Had it been made
by some unofficial resident of the German
capital, there could have been
NO exception to it. Coming from
him it was the impeachment of the honesty
of the German government. AS his utter
ances are official, his assertion was in the
nature of an insult. 1t was not the result of
an official investigation. 1t is not within the
lines of possibility that he had before him
facts on which to base his conclusions. In
the very nature of the case, there could have
been no satisfactory evidence to permit him
TO conclude that there was any warrant for
his charge, without any sufficient cause.
He charged the German authorities with

The anniversary exercises of st. Patrick at
st. Michael's chapel, in West st. Paul, last
evening, packed the house more than full at
an early hour. The overture of F. F. Wilde,
the organist of the church, on the piano, and
finely rendered chorus selection by st.
Michaels choir, was pleasing prelude to the
very interesting programme of entertain
ment given.
This was followed by the solo, 1.-THE Little
Irish Home Across the Sea- by Miss B.
Foley, and 'EKillarney,n by Miss Maggie
McManus, which were very prettily rem
dered. This was followed by the solos,
'Pansy Blossom by Miss Mary Burke. and
League of the Cross,' by A. NJ. poherty,
both of which were very nicely done, while
the latter was thrice recalled, as was also
Mr.. Hayes as ompliment to his singing
the Meeting of the Waters" A piano du-
EFT by the Misses Nellie Meldie and julia
Cullen, and violin exercise by Messrs. n.
P. Moriarity and o. Melady, were the promi
nent instrumental exercises, which were fol-
lowed by the song, ''Bells of Shandon," by
Miss Katy E. Burke. The charming voice OF
Miss Emma Haggcrty in the song, 'sEm-
metts Last Words were received by
the audience with the highest
marks of appreciation, and
although the lady obeyed their recall with an
other selection they were fain to be satisfied
This was also the case with Mr.. Doherty al

lowed by two others which brought down the

YESTERD4Y,S MARKETs.

The st. Paul markets were dull and quiet yes
terday. AT Milwaukee wheat was duh, weak,
and at the close 1c lower than on Saturday. At
Chicago the grain market was without strength,
and, although several attempts were made by the
bulls to stfen it up at the close wheat stood nc,
corn &c, and oats &c lower than Saturday s
close. Pork declined 15c. On Wall street
bonds were generally firm, New York, West

Stocks opened quiet snd irregular but strength

LETT DOUBT RE BEMoYED.

The proposition of the New York Sun to
nominate Mr.. Tilden at the Chicago conven-
ton, without knowing whether he will &C
cept or not, and there await his acceptance
or acceptance, is objected to by many OF
his stanch supporters and by many Demo
cratic Journals that have ranked as among
his firmest admirers and advocates. The
Utica Observer, one of the most loyal and
steadfast supporters of Mr.. Tilden, has this
to say on that point:
1.-THE proposition that the national convention
should tender Mr.. Tilden the compliment of a
nomination, and then wait in the dark for his re-
Spouse, does not strike us favorably. His direct
refusal to accept it, would place the party In the
attitude of choosing its second best candidate,
and seriously discourage it at the outset We
doubt if Mr.. Tilden would appreciate approve
a mark of respect paid him at the heavy expense
of the party 1t would be losing policy to lead
the Democratic party false trail, by holding
out a hope of Mr.. Tiden's eventual willingness
to run for the presidency only to have it dashed
to the ground in July. In order that SO danger
Gus disappointment may be averted, why can
not we know the truth at once?"
The objections of the Observer seems to be
well taken. The position of the San is a
weak, if not a childish one. There can be no
objection to knowing before hand whether
Mr. Tilden will allow the use of his name,
but there are the most cogent reasons why
the matter should be stripped of all doubt
and mystery. If it is known authoritatively,
that Mr. Tilden will accept a nomination
The Old Ticket will be put in nomination
with slight, if any opposition, and being
nominated will be hailed with loud and
hearty acclaim by the party throughout the
cou ntry.
With Mr.. Tilden's acceptance of the nom
ination success will be certain, however ii
might be with any other nominee. Why,
then, not make assurance doubly sure, and
90 forward to irresis tible triumph!

THE GOheJ Assault.

The trial of Thomas Gillespie for criminal
assault upon Mrs. Gobel was continued
yesterday, Mrs. Gobers cross-examination
being resumed. She denied that she kept a
house of ill-repute. She said the prisoner
struck her On the head and shoulders with
his fist to keep her quiet. She thought they
would all be killed.
A. Gobel, the husband, testified that they
were all in bed when the prisoner and his
comrades came and raped on the window
and be got up and lighted lamp, when they
broke in the door and beat and choked him
and assaulted his wife. One of the party had
revolver and threatened to shoot
him. He went for the police and
was gone two or three hours. When he
came back all but one of the men had gone.
He gave considerable details of the assault
August Kepler, stepson of Mr.. Gabel, told
the story of the assault with great positiveness
and detail, and was not shaken on the cross
examination. The trial will be resumed to-
