CHURCH MUSIC.
Of chorister music in early days we
have the following account:

ofSt. Paul's, and the author of Five
Hundred Pointes of Good Husbandrie, y
tells us in his life few incidents by
which we learn how ehorister-boys were
treated in the reign of Queen Elizabeth,
both at Wallingtord and at St. Paul's,
under BEDFORD, the organist, and from
other writer's of the period great many
facts might be quoted which would be
in some sort interesting The music
used in the cathedral acquired a new
character. The pre-eminent position
occupied by the musicians at the time
served to impart value to the compost
tons of the period, both sacred and sec
ular. The madrigals produced by the
English musicians of Elizabeth reign are
acknowledged to be equal, if not supe-
rior, to those of any other more Wanted
musical people. The excellence of this
secular music is also to he found in the
music intended for the service of the
church. At this time there was only
little, if any, difference between the
character of "sacred or prophane" mu-
sic. The limited number of progress
sions then allowed in harmony produc-
ed Similarity--not to say a monotony-
of style. AT this distance of time it is
difficult to tell by the construction of the
music alone whether the madrigals or
the anthems would not be equally ex-
presSive were an interchange of words
to be made to the notes. This, however.
is not a peculiarly confined to that par
tiCular date.
The composers certainly made the en-
deavor to introduce benehtting express
ion, and although instances of this nee
essary union are rare, and sometimes
only accidental, there is sufficient evil
dence of attempt twas not until later
that distinct efforts were made by COM
posers to impart special character to
music intended for use in the church,
Various reasons have been given to
prove the motives in the minds of the
writers; some affecting to show that a
desire to foster the principles and prac-
tees of the Puritans may be traced in
the construction of the music that in the
anthems composers sought to preserve a
certain amount of that character which is
SAID to belong to it, and at the same time
made concessions to the popular taste by
the introduction Of such harmonies and
phrases as would remind the hearers Of
the psalm tunes which, in manv
churches, were sung Geneva wise"

THE THROCKMORrON IYNCnING.

Further Particulars as to How Tom Farrar
Met His Death.
| Correspondence OF the Gazette.
THRoCKMoRToN, TEX, Oct. 8.-On last
Wednesday night one Tom Farrar n
negro boy about twenty years old, was
arrested on suspicion of the murder of
Mr.. Urry and his little daughter on Mon.
day, September 27. He was brought In
town and held to await Investigation
Blood was found on his clothes and knife
and his rope showed plainly TO have been
around something and dragged through
the mud. IL was also very bloody. This
corresponded well with the facts. az the
girl and her father were both murdered
with knife by cutting their throats. the
old man being first roped and dragged
some distance. The negro was taken he.
fore the dead bodies and made TO examine
each closely, which he did without evi.
dencing the least guilt, eylncing the most
powerful nerve one can imagine. On the
next morning crowd was sent TO see II
they luld find any tracks of horses about
the murdered bodies, further than had
been found, and to make full Inyestlpa-
uon oil the whole matter. They took
the negroes horses tracks from where
ne started Monday morning and followed
them direct to the camp, the scene OF the
murder, and from there on to the negro's
work when they reported the result of
tnelr investigation, there was no doubt of
MS quit IN the minds of any OF the clti.
zens' They went to the jail and told him
now they had trailed him, and the other
evidence Of blood, etc, and he still nro.
tested and insisted on his innocence mn
Till late last night, when he confessed ali
and said he knew he would be hanged
but II would only be Justice; and no
wished while he was committing the
crime that he had been "praying Ia bis
God" He made these confessions I'm a
letter written while In jail to his father
and mother. Last night Saturday no

armed men, who overpowered the guard |

from town ana swung upon limb.
Inc crime for which he was hanged |
was perhaps the most horrible and brutal |
crime known TO the history OF Texas
nc went TO sheep camp, some ten miles |
from town, where he found a little thir. |
teen-year-old girl alone and unprotected
lie outraged her, and then cut her throat
in the most brutal manner. He then
went some three-fourths of mile from
the camp, TO where her father. an old 40.
creplt Englishman, was herding his fiook
OF sheep. lie roped him and dragged the
lie out OF him, and then cut his throat
lie was the boldest and most undauntcd
daredevil that was ever permitted 10 rnn

Of the English Church, and then to insist
upon home rule. According to the Herald
the country is essentially poor, farmed by
small yearly tenants with no capital, and
content to live from hand to mouth. Their
position is always precarious. They are at
tached to home, but many emigrate. They
like TO 90 together and remain In the sound
Of the old language. There are Welsh
colonies in Illinois, Patagonia, and Austria
LA. The British parliament is regarded as
predOninantly English, and the Welsh
question is shelved or meager response
given on the promotion of education and
the use of the Welsh language, the discs
tablishment Of the church, or the settlement
Of the landlord and tenant question. Sew
eral such points of legislation for Wales
in accordance with Welsh ideas are
earnestly wished. At the present mo-
ment attention is occupied with the 1.-THE
controversy. 1t is easy TO under.
stand that the payment Of tithes is unpop-
ular, for the church itself is unpopular
from two points Of view. The first is
strictly legal. All land in England from au
early period has been subject to the pay
ment Of tenth part OF its produce for the
support Of the church. This is a clumsy
arrangement and productive Of dlckcrlng,
for II, instead Of marking off school lauds,
with their school grants, from the proper.
ton, the produce of all lands were given,
the legal title Of the church would be quite
clear. Or II there is no church then the
nation should pay the tithes, and not the
landowner or occupiers who have never ac-
quired that tenth Of the produce. Till 1896
tthes were collected in kind, but now in
England and Wales In money, also from
the farmers In Scotland. From the own
ers' point of view rent and tthes together
make larger rent.
British agriculture is very depressed, some
say "played out" as American produce Is
80 cheap. The Welsh farmers are the least
able to hold out. The 1.-THE is now some
times a sixth part Of the produce. Why
pay this over to an alien church II 1t is not
our property But II a national church, then
let the tax collector take the tithes and re.
lieve the poor rate to promote educational
establishments.

emphatically any tendency to riotlng, and
much now depends uron the attitude oi
the government. Suppression now would
make another Irish land question, separa.

Herein we can see already the results oi
Mr.. Gladstone's Irish measure. Wales 1:

agitation, and the time cannot now be fai
distant when each Of the four nationalitiet

THE Times, of Chicago, makes a serious
charge against that city. 1t recalls thefact
that on the day succeeding the great fire
over 100000 had been received in dona-
tlons from outside parties. AS showing the
sublime charity which animated the heart of
the world at that time, the Times says it is
estimated that the amount received In cash
and supplies and Of which no record was
made amounted to only trlfe less than
three million dollars. The state of Illinois
gave some three millions; OF the enormous
amount received from other sources 1t is un-
necessary to speak. The Times then makes
this severe comment:
1t is q singular fact that this city since tina.
period has been characterized by most as.
tonishing indifference in regard to tho suffer-
ings of others Whenever there has been any
thing given in aid OF suffering, 1t has been done
grudgingy and alter long delay.
We had supposed that the city OF big
footed women and long-headed men was
quite abreast with the most liberal COM
munities In regard to generosity on occa.
slons Of devastating calamities, but the
Times ought to be good authority In the
premises, and that paper says "the hog Is a
prominent element in the business of
Chicago, and appears to be securing an
equally prominent position in the nature OF
many Of its people"

Revolt In Wales.

The few counties In the west of England
which constitute the principallty Of Wales
are inhabited by a population numbering
less than million and half. Seventy per
cent. Of those people speak the Cymrlc
language and about ninety per cent. are
members Of dissenting churches. The
Episcopal establishment OF England Is also
the state church of Wales, and men and
women Of this poor mountainous country
who never enter the state institution are
compelled to pay tithes for the benefit Of n
church which is not theirs, which Is enor-
mously wealthy, and which the people who
belong to 1t are quite capable OF supporting.
The clergymen who occupy pulpits In this es-
tablished church Of Wales are almost inva-
rlably Engllshmen who have no sympathy
whatever with Welsh people or Welsh
sentiment, and who are usually upon terms
Of anything but brotherly love with the
dissenting ministers of the country. Welsh.
men have borne with this grave injustice
for long time, but the Irish agitation and
the act Of Mr.. Gladstone, which dsestab-
lshed the English Church in Ireland, have
set Taify thinking, and, according to yester-
days dispatch in the Herdid, he is thinking

The Mexican Wow.

Last week we gave full statement OF
the American law side Of the Cutting case,
which has attracted wide attention on the
part of the press and received almost uni
versal approval. In our desire to con-
tribute all the information within our reach
which will throw light upon this interest
ing international question, we to-day pub
llsh transations Of the notes of Senior Ma
riscal, the able secretary of foreign affairs
Of the Mexican government, to Minister
Romero in this city, giving the view Of his
government on the subject. These notes
were recently made public in Spanish in the
OGcidl Gazette at the City OF Mexico, aud
are now for the first time published in full
in this country Whatever may be thought
Of the principle contended for by
the Mexican secretary OF state, II
will he conceded on all sides that he has
written in temperate language and mani
tests q commcndable spirit. We have no
doubt he will be answered by Secretary
Bayard In the same frank temper, and that
the two governments will reach peaceful
and satisfactory settlement of the question.
The New York Ercniag Post, a stanch friend
Of Mr.. Bayard, after an editorial review Of
the law of the case as presented in the Ma
TroNAL REPUBLICAN last week, comes to
the conclusion that the best way to settle
1t is for the two governments to enter into
an agreement to say nothing more about il !
An easy solution, certainly, and one which
the country would be likely to indorse.

A FEW months ago Lord Randolph
Churchill went over from London to Bel
fast and In the most unmeasured strains
urged the Protestants OF Ulster to appeal
to arms rather than permit the Catholic
majority Of Ireland to administer the az
fairs of that tranquil island. His lordship
sowed the wind, and the inhabitants of
Belfast reaped the whlrlwind, which is
one way Of interpreting Scripture and ad-
lusting the claims Of labor. But the little
nobleman did not altogether escape the
storm. Emulating the example of Mrs.
Partington, who meddled with the Atlantic,
he endeavored to throw oil upon the
troubled waters Of religious disturbance
by appointing Mr.. Matthews, Roman
Catholic, to the Office Of home secretary.
The Scottish Protestant Alliance severely
criticised the selection, as opposed to the
traditions Of British government. Randolph
eplled with all the pungency Of crab
apple, and, to mix the metaphor, was paid
back in his own coin. In the latest develop.
ments Of this very pretty quarrel he poses
as the defender Of political enlightenment
and religious liberty, and concludes the
statement OF his new creed by asserting
that II the views OF the alliance were
pushed to logical conclusion they would
involve the repeal Of all those acts of par
lament removing the political disabilities
of Catholics, and the re-enactment Of penal
laws, which vast majority of the British
people are so anxious TO forget. Tnis re.
minds us OF nothing more forcibly than of
Canning's lines, composed for another occa.

IT is easy enough to understand why the
first accounts of Envoy sedgwlck's supposed
escapade in Mexico should have been re-
ceived with such tornado ofcritIclsm. But,
after some weeks OF statements aud contra
dlctlons, the whole matter is still In a fog,
and 1t is high time that the irritating and
malicious comments should cease, until, at
least, Mr.. Sedgwick shall have finished his
business In the south aud be afforded the
opportunity of full explanation before
the proper authorities. He has already sur-
fered enough, whether the reports be true
or false, and this constant harping on an
"amiable indiscretion" comes badly from
critics who enjoy the reputation of having
heard frequent "chlmes by midnight" them
selves.

THE Democrats, with their nasty tail of

talking loudly of the decline OF the Republican

twenty years. They could not have asked a
more complete victory than they have won.
Their plurality in the state is twice as large as
