they have secured pastor of rare capacity
in winning the sympathy and confidence of
all classes. In his salutatory address of 40
minutes he convinced his hearers that in ac-

were no undue means employed by our zeal

Philharmonic Society.

The Philharmonic Society of Burlington is
making extensive preparations for the mu-
steal festival to be held the last week in MAY
4 chorus of over 200 voices has been rehears
ing in the Howard Relief Hall for some time
under the instruction of II. L. Walker. and
the progress made gives assurance that +h.
chorus will be the BEST as well as the largest
ever heard on the Opera House stage. The
works to be rendered are Hayden's oratOrio
''The Creation" Gades "Erl Kings Daugh-
ter" Mendelssohn's '42d Psalm, " besides a
choice assortment of miscellaneous choruses.
The Creation" was given by the society some
years ago, and is not entirely unknown, but
the other works have never been rendered in
that vicinity. The ''Erl Kings Daughter is
light and joyous, Astounding in pleasing cho
ruses, with excellent opportunities for or
ehestral and solo work. Of all of Mendess-
ohn's works none is more pleasing in gran
deur and sublimity than his "42d Psalm, -
and no one, after hearing it, can fail to re-
ceive the inspiration which this great cOmpo-
sition imparts. The managers have been I'M
usually successful in securing talent, and are
to be congratulated in their endeayOr to have
only the best. Miss Emma Thursby, who
stands to-day at ehead of American prima-
dOnnas, is the leading soprano. She is a su-
perb singer, a beautiful and attractive wo-
man. and will be by far the greatest star that
has appeared in Burlington of late years.
The other artists are as follows: Miss Cert
rude Edmunds, of Boston, contraltO; Geo. j.
Parker, Of Boston, tenor; Ivan +. Marowski,
of New York. basso. and Miss Maud Morgan,
of New York, solo harpist, The last named
is a new attraction, and she stands at the
head of her profession in this country. Her
Chickering Hall concerts have been enjoyed
by thousands of admirers in New York and
Brooklyn, and she cannot fail to please in
Burlington. A u these, with the addition of
an orchestra composed of % pieces, selected
from Blaisdell's and the symphony orchestra
of Boston, will make the festival great sue
cess, unsteady. The programme will be an
nounced in due time, as will be the price of
season and single tickets. All singers are in
vited to join the chorus and participate in

that it was land FLOWING with milk

appointed. The country is over
crowded, the present means of sub
sistence are wholly inadequate, the
weather is intolerably hot, the water is
mostly alkaline and unwholesome,
smallpox and pneumonia are working
havoc among the unhoused and i'll

condition is wretched in the extreme.

Although Gen. Butler is no longer
conspicuous figure in public life, yet
now and then he contrives to exhibit
himself in some unpleasant attitude.
Recently, the Butler Club, of Boston,
celebrated the anniversary of the cap
ture of New Orleans, when General
Butler, in the course of his speech
spoke of "Farragut and his brave
officers and sailors-heroes all, save
one, a high officer who ran away. y
In an interview with Boston Herald
reporter, Gen. Butler explains that the
"high officer" alluded to is Admiral
Porter. His charge is, in substance,
that just prior to the capture of New
Orleans, after Farragut had passed
the rebel forts, Porter, who was in
command of the mortar fotilla and
was assigned to lombard the water
batteries, got badly scared by some
rebel demonstrations and put out to
sea, leaving Farragut and Butler tc
win the honors of the day. But Ad.
miral Porter, who has also been inter
viewed, denies the whole charge so far
as it duplicates himself, but states that
there were three officers who failed to
take their ships past the fort, who
were censured by Farragut. In short,
Admiral Porter does not leave Gen.
Butler any grounds for his allegation.
1t is probable that Gen. Butler, who
is in the habit of cherishing resent
ments, cannot forget how Admiral
Porter came out of the disastrous
Fort Fisher episode with so much
more honor than himself 1t will be
remembered that Butler abandoned
the enterprise just when las Porter has
always contende0 the fort was nearly
in our possession. On the whole, the
controversy between these veteran
officers is not pleasant one. Both
have highly creditable war records;
albeit, they may have made some mis-

A pleasant and notable social event
this week was the marriage of Mr..
M. d. McMahon, one of the well
known and popular proprietors of
Miles & McMahon's Star Department
store, and Miss Minnie Lonergan,
who also has large circle of friends
among whom she is justly popular.
The ceremony occurred at the Cathe-
dral at Z o'clock Tuesday morning
and although the hour was exceeding
ly early, large number of the many
friends of the couple were in attend
ance. Miss Mary Quinn acted as
bridesmaid and Prof. j. W. Singleton
of St. Joseph's college was best man.
The impressive ceremony was per-
formed by the Very Rev. Father
Lynch. The presents were numerous,
being both elegant and useful and en-
braced almost everything in the house,
keeping line, besides many smaller
tokens of esteem and remembrance.
The happy couple was accompanied
to the Central Vermont depot by
many friends and left on the 6.l7
train for Boston. They will visit
New York next week during the GEN.
tennial celebration and expect to ex-
tend the trip to several other places,
being absent some three weeks. Up
on their return to this city they will
reside at go North Union street. The
Clipper joins with the many friends of
the happy couple in congratulations
and best wishes.-Cipper.

The centennial is past and no such
gorgeous spectacle nor magnificent
demonstration has ever been wit
messed before in the new world, nor
IS it likely that it will be equalled
within the next century. The cele-
bration of the second century of the
Inauguration undoubtedly will be a
more stupendous affair than that just
over, but it will be necessary to wait
one hundred years to witness it.
From first to last it was a brilliant
success in every respect, and the
heart of every patriotic citizen beat
high as the martial hosts-represent-
ing united, prosperous, and happy
people from one end of the country
to the other-swept by before the
eyes of the hundreds of thousands of
spectators. The limited space of our
columns does not permit of an ex-
tended report of the many events of
the three days celebration, but we
give elsewhere a summary of the
events of the memorable occasion.

apOplexy while engaged in their daily

dizziness and pressure in the head, pain

ness or prickly sensation of the limbs,
sour stomach, etc., have been neglected
and the unfortunate victim of apOpleXy

The city of Burlington is again stir
red up on the water questionable
question now being whether a new
reservoir shall be constructed or the
old one repaired. 1t might be sug-
gested that the purity of the water
supply is of vastly more consequence.
We have heard it limited several times
that the supply pipe does not extend
far enough into the lake to prevent
contamination from the sewerage !;
and we know that many people in
Burlington find it necessary to boil
the water before drinking it. There
is nothing unwholesome about lake
water, if the source of supply is un-
defled. Tins is a matter in which
people outside are more or less inter
ested, though to less extent than
the people of Burlington who are
compelled to use the water all the
time. When the public health is con-
cerned, the matter of expense should
be a secondary one.

There is considerable disturbance il
the southern part of the state, notably
in Rutland and Bennington, over the
operations of the prohibitory law
That the law is imperfect in some o.
its features is undeniable, and the en-
forcement of several of its provisions
may not seem wholly practicable, in
the present state of public sentiment.
Nevertheless, the principal trouble
with the law in many of our towns is
not due so much to its defects as to
the lack of an active and vigorous
public sentiment for its enforcement.
At the next session of the Legislature
an effort will probably be made to
revise the prohibitory law, making it
more consistent in all its parts, and
providing more rational and practical
methods of enforcing it. Meantime,
there is no apparent good reason why
any community should treat the law
as nullity.
