SOUND DOCTRINE.

The Chicago Herald, of November
2Sth, has this very sensible article on the
course of Governor Hill in giving place
to Sterling after he was removed from his
position by the President, and had failed
to get u place under the rules of the Civil
Service Commission:
Governor Hill, of New York, is in danger
OF OVERRIDING his performance in the charac-
ter OF the ineorrigible spokesman. The peo-
pie were evidently in mood to bear with
him to moderate degree, but they will fail
to see the humor in his recent attempt to
make capital with the spoilsmen by appoint
ing to prominent state Office a man who
had been rejected by the Civil Service Com
mlSSloners as candidate for Federal DO
sition.
When the Collector for the Port of New
YORK appointed Alderman Sterling weigher
IN the custom House it was pointed out that
the selection had been made in defiance of
the OWL service law, and on the order of Mr..
Cleveland the appointment was revoked.
Sterling then submitted to an examination,
but, not standing as high as Union soldier.
the latter was appointed. The Governor
thereupon named Sterling for Port Warden.
at a salary of $1,000 per annum, presum-
ably for the purpose of showing his con-
tempt for the civil service reform theory,
and to convince the spoilsmen that if the
PRESIDENT was not their friend they could
find one in him.
Outside of the moral effect of the Gov
ernor's action no particular objection can be
urged to his selection of Sterling, who is
sald to be competent, a Democrat and man
OF good character, but the motive of his ap
was vicious, and it will be so re-
garded: If Mr.. Hill expects to be President
of the United States he will find such eccen-
'rlcltles as this very embarrassing in the flu

Chonin as a Roy.

Chopin, alone of all the musicians, has
been immortalized through his pianoforte
music. If all the works that have ever
been written for the piano were to be
swept away, his compositions would of
themselves inspire one through all the
drudgery that is necessary to master the
instrument.
Fredric Chopin was born on March
l, 1909, at little village near Warsaw
The child's genius was apparent in his
earliest years; when scarcely more than
a baby, he was SO sensitive that he wept
on hearing music; and he began to COM
pose before he was old enough to write
out the notes. He was placed under the
tuition of Albert Zwyny, who was de-
lighted with his little pupils progress,
and in his ninth year he gave his first
concert. Frederic was generally full of
high spirits, and often amused himself by
playing little practical jokes, sometimes
being joined by his sister Emily. This
sister gave as rare promise OF being great
in literature as Frederic in music, but,
unfortunately, she died when only q
young girl.
Chopin had talent for seizing the
ludicrous and placing it on paper; and
his power of caricaturing on the piano
was much like Schumann's. 1t is said
that once, when his fathers pupils were
becoming very boisterous, Chopin entered
the room and seated himself at the piano.
He initiated band of robbers breaking
into house, their escape, and retreat to
the woods; as the music grew fainter the
pupils became drowsier and brewster
until they were all fast asleep.-Agatha
Tunis, in From Bach to Wagner," ST.
NICHOLAS for December.

tBirds of North America" he painted hi:
birds life size, and there is in them life
and action which has never been sur
passed. His tints are of the most beauti.
full, and the birds of his book are sc
beautiful and true to nature that they
seem to be the birds of heaven. His
critic and biographer in the ninth edition
of the Encyclopedia Britannica" says
that Audubon's drawing is not true. Il
this is true, then only the eye of the
keenest critic can detect the fault. The
pupil of David may have erred occasion
ally in his drawing, but he never erred in
his instinct of grace and beauty.
Audubon's life was passed mostly
amidst the scenes of nature, for he was
the child OF nature. In his wanderings
and journeyings he met with many adj
ventures, and once lodged in the cabin
of a veritable Meg Merriles, and had it
not been for the warnings of an Indian
who was also there, his earthly career
might have been terminated in lone
cabin in the heart of the forest.
His "Ornithological Biography" is his
best known work, but in this his figures of
birds are painted on scale. In connec-
ton with the Rev. Mr.. Bachman he got
out work on the "Quadrupeds of North
America - hI;t this work Dacar had fba
same fame that his bird works enjoyed.
America has no filter name to whom to
erect q monument than that OF John
James Audubon.

WANT MORE.

A special to the Tribune saws that the
Conservatives of Canada are urging the
Government of the Province to assert the
claims of Canada to the State of Maine,
which they allege are just. The French
press of Montreal gravely doubts whether
the United States would be willing to ac-
cept compensation in money for the State
OF Maine. The French press of Montreal
express very sensible doubt, and one
that the Canadians may rest assured
would be madea fact if Canada were to
press her claims. The claims are so
grotesque and absurd that they are not
worthy OF one moments serious consider
alton, and 1t is more than likely that the
whole thing is canard. If Canada has
good grounds on which to claim the
State of Maine, she likewise has good
grounds on which to claim the States
which constituted the original Thirteen
Colonies, and she might extend her claim
to Michigan and the Northwest Territory.
and even the Louisiana purchase. The
claims about which the Conservatives of
Canada are anxious are far more ridicu-
ious than anything else. But it would
be folly to expect anything else from
Conservatives.

JOHN j. AUDUBON.

Word comes that a movement is on
foot in New Orleans to erect a monu-
ment to the memory of John James Au-
dubon, the ornithologist Although Au-
dubon was not the first of American
ornithologists, still his fame is greater
than any who preceded him or succeeded
him. His fame rests upon his artistic
work rather than upon his Scientific
work. In scientific accomplishments
it is doubtful whether he was
the equal of Wilson or the SUI
perior of Nuttail When compared to
such ornithologists as Cassin, Baird.
Brewer and Ridgway he pales into insig.
nificance. Yet this is more owing to the
undeveloped state in which the science
OF ornithology was in his day than any
other cause. Perhaps the most purely
scientific work on ornithology ever pub
hshed in America is Vol. IX. of the Pa
cific Railroad Survey Reports, and which
was the work of Prof S. T. Baird. But
since then the science has advanced rap
idly. and the rules for classification have
been much modified, while the system of
nomenclature has undergone a complete
revolution. So complete has this revolu-
tion been that the tri-nomial system
which is almost universal i'm America
has received the distinctive appellation /
OF the American system. In Europe
1t does not obtain to any considerable ex-
tent. The advocates of the system saw |
II makes almost as much of departure |
and advance in science as the bi-nomial /
system of LinnGus did. But this is very /
doubtful. To show the great advance
that has been made in the science and
study of ornithology, it is only necessary
TO compare the first and second editions
of DIR. Elliot Coues' "Key to North Amer
ican Birds" and the first edition of that
work only appeared in 1872, and the sec
ond within a year or two. Audubon
does not belong to this school, but
there is not one American orni-
biologist to-day whose fame is so
assured as is that of Audubon. But his
fame will rest upon his art. In his

MAIN STREET.

The city authorities are having the mud
scraped up on Main street and carried
away. This is very good work and one
for which the people will feel grateful.
There is just one serious objection to this
cleaning off of the mud, and it is the fact
that the mud that is now being carried
away was placed on Main street as gravel
to fill up the holes and ruts on the street
about three months ago. This, of course,
makes an exchange of mud and
gravel very lively, and exchange
is the life of commerce. When the
street is cleared of the mud now on it, it
will practically be where it was when
the gravel was placed upon it some three
months ago. The putting of the gravel
upon the street and hauling it off as mud
is all dead work, and the taxes expended
in doing this work is so much money
thrown away. The same thing occurs
annually, but Main street is never in
a decent condition in the summer or
winter. 1t is the chief business street of
the city, and the taxes paid upon Main
street property constitute a very large
of the city's revenue. Why
does not the city either flag it, cobble it,
or macadamize it? At first this would be
quite expensive, but when once done it
would be done for many, many years,
and the street would always be in good
repair, and the cost of keeping it in repair
would be but nominal Will the City
Council give the matter the attention it
deserves? The present manner of keep
ing the street is unsatisfactory always,
md the money expended on it is thrown
away.

FROM the Century Company we have
received the Christmas number of St.
Nicholas. 1t is impossible to point out its
many excellencies, but to the children it
will be true Christmas joy. The por-
trait OF DR.. Thomas Arnold is very super
ior in every respect, while the frontis-
piece, the portrait of little girl, after Sir
Joshua Reynolds, gives a very good idea
of that masters art.

SELECTING A PASTOR.

The United Church Vote To Extend
 Call TO Rev. T. 1T. Munger, ID. D.
 The Society Acqufesee.
 A meeting of the members of the United church and society was held in the chapel on Temple street last evening to hear and act upon the report of the society's committee appointed to select pastor of the church. The large lecture room was crowded with in terested members of the church and society. many ladies being present. Deacon Samuel G. Thorn presided and stated the objects of the meeting.
 The society's committee appointed to se- lect pastor were William H. Moseley, Sam uel A. Stevens, Andrew DeForest, Simeon E. Baldwin and Ralph J. Miner. This com mittee reported in favor of extending a call to Rev. T. T. Munger, D. D. Then followed a free and full discussion of the merits of Dr. Munger as preacher and pastor, his the ology coming incidentally into the discussion. After the qualifications of Dr. Munger had beeen freely and fully discussed by those in favor and those opposed to him rising in formal vote was proposed on the question of calling the eminent divine, the females being invited to vote. This was agreed to and a count showed sixty-six in favor of the call and thirty three against it. Then followed an informal ballot, the male members only voting, and It resulted In forty in favor and twenty-seven against.
 More discussion followed, which was con- tinued until nearly 10 o'clock when formal ballot was ordered. There were sixty-eight votes cast, of which forty-six were in favor, twenty-yne against and one blank.
 An effort was then made to make the call unanimous, but it did not succeed and the church meeting was declared adjourned.
 After the church meeting adjourned there was meeting of the society and here the vote was unanimous to extend the call to Dr. Munger.
 There seemed to be some question among the members after the meeting adjourned as to Dr. Munger's acceptance under the cir cumstances. Had the call been unanimous it was thought there would have been no doubt upon the subject, but this not being the case it was an open question.
