MUSICAL NOTES.

The Litmus Circle, of Georget own, will re-
sumo rehearsals for the season tomorrow
evening. The circle is to give two concerts
during the latter part of October. Mr. Frank
w Bird, of the Schubert Quartette has been
engaged as musical director for the season,
which means, of course, that great things will
be expected of this organization.
Speaking OF Nr Bird, piece OF information
reaches THE HERALD that will interest the
musical people of Washington. Mr.. Bird will
nave his hands full this season. He will direct
the Schubert Quartette, Franz Abt Club, Lit
mus Circle, and the choir of st. Pcter's Church.
Considering the time which must be taken up
In these matters, as we'll as by his vocal pupils,
he Will be unable to give the same attention to
public singing as heretofore, and has there
fore, decided to relinquish active duty with
the well-known Schuberts as soon as sue
cessor can be secured for his place as second
tenor. He will retain the position as director
and manager, however.
Mr. Birds retirement will leave Mr. Mosher
as the last remaining member of the original
Schubert Quartette, organized four years ago.
or the other s'charter" members Messrs. Maj
tit and Keller are now engaged in business in
the west. 1t Is somewhat remarkable that,
,altnough SO many changes have taken place
In the personnel of the quartette, the improve
ment has been uninterrupted. Every one
knows what beautiful music they render, and
now that Mr.. Bird will direct the rehearsals
from the ''outside," so to speak, there is
reason to believe that their best work will be
heard this season.
The well-known Sixteenth Quartette
have resumed .rehearsals. Mrs. Perkins, the
soprano, made many exquisite selections of
quartette music while abroad recently. and
these will be taken up at once.
II &c
drew's Church, on Fourteenth street, is to be
reorganized under the leadership of Mr.. Hern-
don Morsell, with Mrs. Kitty Thompson
Berry as soprano.

The Hebrew New Year.

Solemn and impressive ceremonies have
been held in all the synagogues for the past
two days in celebration of the Hebrew New
Year which begun at sunset on Friday. The
services were materially different from the
usual ones. Nfne~orthodox Hebrew observe
both yesterday and to day, but the reformers
closed their celebration yesterday. The SER
vices at the Kighth-street Synagogue yester-
DAY were, over three hours in dura-
uon, and the music was singularly
beautiful. The sermon delivered by
DIR. Sternwas an able discourse A considerable
portion of 1t was devoted to the suffering of
the Russian Jews. At its conclusion Mr.. FL.
King made a few supplementary remarks in
winch ne stated that meeting of Washington
Hebrews would soon be held to take action
looking toward the relief of these people. The
services OF the Adas congregation was led by
Rev. M Rosenciwig at the Orthodox Syna-
gague, corner Sixth and streets

THE CRADLE A BAR.

1t Lies Across the Door OF the Polling
Booth.
Nineteenth Century Magazine.
Belt pleasant or unpleasant, it is none the
less an absolute truth--the raison detre of a
woman is maternity. For this and this alone
nature has differentiated her from man, and
built her up cell by cell and organ by organ.
The continuance of the race in healthy re-
production, together with the fit nourishment
and care OF the young after birth, is the ulti-
mate end OF women as such, and whatever
tells against these functions and reduces either
her power or her perfectness Is an offense
against nature and a wrong done to society
II she chooses to decline her natural office
altogether, and to dedicate to other services a
life which has no sympathy with the sex of
humanity, that comes into her lawful list of
preferences and discords.
But neither then nor while she is one with
the rest, wife and mother like others, is she
Tree to blaspheme her assigned functions; nor
to teach the young to blaspheme them: nor
yet to set afoot such undertakings as shall
initiate against the healthy performance of
her first great natural duty and her first great
social obligation.
The cradle lies across the door of the poll
ing pooth, and bars the way to the Senate
we can conceive nothing more disastrous to
woman in any stage of maternity, expect
ant or accomplished. than the heated passions
and turmoil OF political contest; for we may
put out OF court threo fallacies-that the votes
If obtained at all, is to be confined to widows
and spinsters only; that enfranchised women
Will content themselves with the vote and not
seek after active office; and that they will
bring into the world of politics the sweetness
and light claimed for them by their adher-
ents, and not on the contrary, add their own
shriller excitement to the mems deeper pas
sions.
Nor must we forget that the franchise for
women would not simply allow few we'll
conducted, well-educated, self-respecting gen
tlewomen quietly to record their prediction
for liberalism or conservatism, but would let
in the far wider flood of the uneducated, the
unrestrained, the irrational and emotional
those who know nothing and imagine all
those whose presence and partisanship on all
public questions madden already excited men.
We have no right to suppose that human
nature is to be changed for our benefit, and
that the influence of sex is to become a dead
letter because certain among us wish it so.
What has been will be again. In the mirror
OF the prophet, which hangs behind him. the
Partisan woman of the revolution will be re-
peated wherever analogous conditions exist,
and to admit women into active participation
in politics will certainly be to increase dis
order and add fuel to the fire of strife.-Mrs.

WASHINGTON AND LAFAYETTE
Letters from the Former to the MARQUIS

Letters from the Former to the Marquis
and the Marquise de Lafayette.
Writing from Mount Vernon to the wife of
Lafayette, Washington says: "Mrs. Was hing
ton is highly favored by your participations,
and feels very sensibly the favor of your polite
invitation to Paris, but she is too far adv vanced
in life and is too immersed in the care of her
little progeny to cross the Atlantic This,
my dear Marchioness Indulge me with this
freedom) is not the case with you. You have
youth land IL you should not incline to bring
your children, can leave them with all the ad-
vantages to education), and must have
curiosity to see the country. young, rude, and
uncultivated as 1t is, for the liberties of which
your husband has fought, bled, and acquired
much glory, where everybody admires, every
body loves him. Come, then, let me entreat
you, and call my cottage your home; for your
own doors do not open to you with more
readiness than mine would. You will see the
plain manner In which we live, and meet th o
rustic civility, and you shall taste the sim
plcity of rural life. 1t will diversity the scene
and may give you higher relish for the gay
eties of the court when you return to YER
sailles. In these wishes and in most respectful
compliments Mrs. Washington joins me.
With sentiments of strong attachment
and very great regard have the honor to be-
Madam" etc. To Lafayette himself he
writes from the same place: 'At length my
dear Marquis, l am become q private citizen
on the banks of the Potomac, and under the
shadow of my own vine and my own fig tree,
free from the hustle of camp and the busy
scenes of public life, ! ana solacing myself
with those tranquil enjoyments of which the
soldier who is ever in pursuit of fame, the
statesman whose watchful days and sleepless
nights are spent in devising schemes to pro
mote the welfare of his own, perhaps the ruin
OF other countries, as If this globe were in
sufficient for us all, and the courtier, who is
always watching the countenance of his
Prince, In hopes OF catching a gracious smile,
can have very little conception, have not
only retired from all public employments, but
| am retiring within myself, and shall be able
to view the solitary walk and tread the paths
OF private life with heartfelt satisfaction.
EnVious of none, | am determined to be
pleased with all; and this, dear friend, being
the order of my march, l will move gently
down the stream OF life until l sleep with my

and one that will not become too big when
successes attend his efforts. Keep out of the
way OF spectators. Take your money,
whether it be much or little, to one whose
reputation will insure you good counsel. In
vest your money where the principal is safe.
