A Proper Spirit.
From the Bridgeport Standard


 The extracts which we print elsewhere from the Hartford Republican papers rela- tive to the convention and the ticket nomi- mated at Hartford on the 9th indicate the true spirit and show that the situation is accepted in the best of good faith and that there will be no want of effort on the part of Hartford county Republicans, in the coming campaign, to secure Republican success. Speaking of Mayor Bulkeley's canvass the Hartford Post says:
 sThe friends of Mayor Bulkeley have every reason to feel satisfied with the remarkable results of their thirty days canvass in his behalf His vote was large, and although he was not successful his strength will be 8 most excellent argument in future conven- tion Without any especial effort at organ ization, and entering the field after thor ough canvass of the State had been fore the convention, his record of 133 votes is remarkable, all things considered. It is sufficient to say here, that Mayor Bulkeley and his friends will enter into the canvass in behalf of Mr. Lounsbury and work with 8 will, as all good Republicans should. The conyass has been conducted on all sides with the utmost honor and good feeling and there are no traces left that will need the benefit of the healing act. The Republicans of Hart ford and Hartford countyt pledge earnest support for the ticket and will work to win. :"
 This is the spirit which has been so often exhibited by Fairfield county Republicans and we believe that their Hartford county fri nds will not be one whit behind them in patriotic endeavor. The spirit is truly en- couraging.

The Apostle of Music.


 It was about 1S3S-40, soon after his mar riage, that Hullah awoke to what was to be his life's mission. 'fAbout this time," he says, "the idea of forming school for popu- lar instruction in vocal music first dawned upon my mind. Something similar had be- fore this occurred to two or three persons-to MT. Hickson, an amateur, and possibly to others, for it will be found that such schemes are never quite solitary. Rumors of the work of German musician, Mainzer in Paris, had early reached my ears, but second visit to that capital had proved That they had come to nothing, and that neither classes nor any fruits of Mainzers teaching had maintained an existence. It during this second visit that first heard of Wilhelm, whose books, classes, etc., were already beginning to excite notice" Hullah saw at once that the Will helm method was the plan for him to work upon in the realization of his great scheme for spreading music among the people, or, in other words of musically educating England. This great enterprise he deemed could be best accomplished by making music subject of teaching in elementary schools. But a for midable obstacle presented itself in the fact that the school teachers themselves were de- plorably ignorant of music. The Normal school for schoolmasters had just been open ed at Battersea-tho only school of it's kind then existing in England-and among it's occupants only 1.-two or three had any knowl- edge of music, and as many any voice or apparent knowledge of the subject" This

AN INTERPRETING CONTEST.

In Massachusetts the prohibitionists, the high license people, the anti-saloonlsts, and the n-partisan temperance organization are actively engaged in fighting ''rum." But 'trum" is strongly defended. Three associa- tions-the wine and spirit dealers protective, the New England brewers and the Massa- chusetts hquor-dealers' protective-have united in a representative central committee at Boston, and enter the campaign to oppose prohibition and all oppressive legislation against the trade;''t secure the enactment of just and impartial legislation in order that our business may be placed on legal and equitable basis; to establish just principles of trade;" and ''to prevent evil and unlawful practices in the manufacture and sale of liquors.'' It is recommended that local or ganizations be formed in every city and town, under a uniform constitution, and it will be done in Boston and wherever else the dealers are strong enough.
 The progress of this contest will be watch ed with interest everywhere. Unless the protective associations act with wisdom and discretion they will only still further increase the reform feeling. The Springfield Repub- lican gives them good advice when it says: But one line of their programme indicates course of proceeding whereby they may re- strain for time the growing current of the peoples indignation against their traffic. It is that they take hold of the regulation of that traffic and secure legislation against ir- regular and excessive selling like that which now inhicts decent communities with nur- series of drunkenness under the mask of clubs; and secure as well among themselves honest obedience to the laws which give them all the privileges that they have right to expect If these dealers wish to have the public keep patient with them, this is their proper line of action.

The Young Men of tho south.

lfrOn the Atlanta sunny South.l
 The idea prevails largely in our current literature that the young men of the "new South" are full of force and energy, eager to grapple the difficulties of their situation and quite prepared to wiring success from unwil- ling fortune. The picture is not wholly one fancy. There are such young men among us and they are Illustrating what may be done in the new order of things amid which they are thrown. But they are not very numer- ous-are in fact painfully exceptional. The great bulk of our young men are of the op- posite type. They go about business if they go at it at all, in half lf-hearted way as if they regarded failure as foregone conclu- sion. A great many do not engage in any steady vocation, but accept any little job by which they can earn a few dollars.
 Perhaps there never were SO many men who cannot be said to be pursuing any regu- lar calling. An ambition to get behind a counter, or to secure a travelling agency for some business house, is that which generally takes possession of the minds of our young men. There Is turning away from agricul- ture as if it were not calling which promis- es to patience, energy and industry the very best rewards. We must own it, that the bold, ambitious young man, who is willing to forego present ease and display, and who will not be content with any expedient that may meet the present emergency, is ex- ception among us. There is as good chance to lay the foundation of fortune now as there ever was if young men will only exer- oise the proper industry and economy.

interested in the passage through Hell Gate, asking their opinion of the electric-light- house tower at Hallett's Point The answers received are about evenly divided in com mending and condemning the light, but no protests against it's continuance have ever
 been received. The object of the inquiry
 was to ascertain whether the system of light ing could not be improved whether it's cost per annum, which is about $6, 900, ought to be maintained. The main objection urged to the present system of concen trating more powerful electric lights at height of two hundred and fifty feet is that the surface il 1uminated is small. The light is not diffu- sive, and, after passing it, the suddenness of the change from brightness to darkness ob- scures the land lights which pilots find use ful marks i'll navigating the east, middle and west channels. The cost of the to wer and machinery was thirty thousand dollars. Its location is on leased land. For two years Congress has made the necessary appropria- tion for the lease, but this year no provision has been made for the amount, which is six hundred per annum.
 Kate Field continues to vigorously fight Mormonism, and she hopes that the Grand Army will help her. She talked thus at Minneapolis: Nothing has delighted me so much recently as the fact that, in going to San Francisco, thousands of members of the Grand Army of the Republic halted long enough at Salt Lake City to get such glimpse of the Latter Day Saints as was un- dreamed of in their former philosophy. In consequence of that glimpse the Grand Army at Frisco passed resolution denouncing Mormon treason and calling upon Congress to suppress it. If the $50, ,000 members of the G. A. R. will peacefully fight this battle of democracy versus apolygamous hierarchy, they will win glorious victory second only to that won in 1865, when slavery surren- dered to freedom. Three hundred and fifty thousand men earnestly in the right, calling upon their representatives in Congress to pass the Edmunds-T -Tncker bill next session, can abolish that "twin relic of barbarism" now eating into the heart of the Rocky mountains Will they do it? From the generous reception the Grand Army gave me at Minneapolis on Friday night, know that gallant souls will respond to any well-organ- ized call. I shall appeal to my valued friend, Commander Lucius Fairchild, to push for ward what can be made a magnificent cru sade. It is not necessary to shed precious blood in order to fight great battles. I may be given, but I hope for splendid results from the light that has dawned upon DOT tion of the Grand Army.

Extraordinary Feat ofa ''SIeeple Jack.
 the PalI GazeGta


 In honor Of his majesty's birthday jour neyman glider named Joseph Pitcher yes terday morning, at Vienna, performed feat of almost unparalleled foolhardiness. He had made bet that he would climb unassisted to the gilded pinnacle of St. Stephens steeple and plant an imperial flag there with garland of flowers. The climb ing was not to be effected from the platform of the tower, but from it's base in the Stefans platz, the height thence to the gilt ball and cross being 432 German feet 6 inches. At il yeterday evening Pircher arrived on the Stefans platz with small party of friends, tied his shoes around his neck, and began his perilous ascent by means of the lightning conductor. Swarming up the metal rod with the agility of an ape, and resting his feet on every projecting piece of stonework, he took thirty five minutes to reach the platform of the tower. From this point until within twelve feet of the pinnacle the ascent was com paratively easier, as the tretted sides of the steeple form perpendicular staircase. The last twelve feet offered sheer smooth sur face which had to be swarmed up The guardian of the Tower despatched messengers right and left for police and fremen, and soon after midnight company of hremen encircled the tower with mattresses and can vas stretched out to catch the hardy climber in case he should fall. The night was clear, and Pirchers movements could be seen from below.
 Reaching the gilt ball, Pircher took small yellow and black flag with crown of flow CTS from his pocket, tied both to the cross. gave three ''Hocks'' for the Emperor, and then began coolly to descend Finding his shoes inconvenient, he left them on the stone under the ball, and on reaching the ground good-humoredly sug ,ssted that one of the policemen should go up and fetch them. Pircher descended as he had climbed, by the lightning conductor, and his feat occupied altogether two hours and thirty-three min utes He was little tired at the finish and his hands were somewhat grazed, but he jumped gayly on to the pavement amid the enthusiastic cheers of the spectators. After this, however, he was led off to the police station It is said that he has already climb ed 13O steeples. His latest exploit, however, surpasses any feat of climbing on record.

was state of artistic barbarian which Hull lah would have been excused had he shud- dered at. It indicates, too, the scope that existed for the energies of the "apostle of music" as he was coming to be termed. Hullah began on the training school studies; he gave his first lesson there on Feb. IS, 1840, and from that day dates the great musical movement in England-a move that has done so much to benefit each one of us, that has changed the whole face of public amusements an element of education only inferior to that which is afforded by literature itself. That the country is better for this, nobody doubts. No one lives for whom music is a thing of indifference. It affects all, no matter what the grade of life may be; our social and re- ligious life is wrapped up in it; and the more we have of it indoors and out of doors, the better shall we all be for it.

Twenty years ago, as Herr Pietzcher says the name of Creisau was never spoken of, but Moltke has made the place famous, just as Bismarck has thrown luster upon Varzin.
 Here in rural quiet, far from the activity of the city, Field Marshal Count Von Moltke has set up for himself Tuscularum, where in the utmost seclusion he recruits his strength after the fatigue of the winter. Having intercourse only with his nephew

Those who believe that a great European war will follow the death of Emperor Will liam find additional ground for their belief in the activity which the great powers are displaying in the rearmament of their troops. Special attention is being paid to the militia ry arm, and the single breeeh-loader is being gradually superseded by the repeating or magazine rife. Not long ago a sensation was caused by celebration at the Spandau ar mory over the completion of the last of the one hundred thousand repeating rifles for German troops. During the summer two thousand two hundred men have been em- ployed at Erfurth, Spandau and elsewhere in converting the Mauser rifle into repeat ing arm at the rate of twelve hundred daily. It is announced also that by this time sixty thousand repeaters are in the hands ot French troops, and French paper says that the conversion of the two-hundred thou sandth French rife will be duly celebrated. Austria is substituting the Mannlieber rifle, with detachable magazine, for her Wenol gun. Norway and Sweden have the Jar maun magazine rife. with a long range, and Italy and Switzerland have the Vetterli rife, of similar pattern.
