HEARING MR.. MULLALLY.
HIS NEIGHBORS AN UNAPPRECIATIVE
AUDIENCE.
THEY DON'T catch ON TO" THE SUBSTANCE OF
THE SERMONS WHICH HE breaches TO
HIMSELF IN HIS OWN HOUSE But
THEY GET THE NOISE AND
THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE
KICKING ABOt'

The Rev Francis T. Mutually Is the Presbyterian
minister who objects 10 Republicans and to Or
Parkhurst His opinion on the work OF the great
reformer was ventilated at the last meeting OF the
New-Nork Presbytery. when he vociferous.y OPP
posed d resolution indorsins DR.. Parkhurs, and
his works. No such opportunity has yet appeared
for the Rev Mr.. Mutually to publish his views on
Republicans His neghbors say they have over
hcar1 him announce that he would rather vote Tor
rowdy than Republican any day But
it is not the overhearng OF this particular saying
nor OF any other one effort Of Mr.. Mulally's vocal
apparatus which has resulted in again dragging
him forth from the retirement, TO which he re-
turned after forbiddinG the Preshytery's commenda
ton OF Or. Parkhurs;'s 'pernicious" activity in
politics 1t is not the matter Of the Mutually utter
ances but the volume OF them tina, Is driving the
tenants in the neighborhood of No. % West Ninety
third-s;. to the verge of dstraction-and complaint
to the Board OF Health
Ii Is one Of the apartments in the handsome fiat
house AT that street and number which serves
the abiding place OF the Mullal.y family of nearly
a dozen members. The family have got religion
from top to bottom. but the head of 1t has
neither church nor charge. pulpit nor parish. the
fervor of all has been bottled up. TIL recently 1t
burst the bounds Of the Mutually apartment and
rolled Gown upon the occupants Of the neghboring
flats in waves OF prayer and praise of hymns and
celebrations that have filled their nights with
sleepessness and their days with WEAKNESS.
In short. the people OF the neighborhood of West
Ninety thrd-st accuse Mr. Mutually OF such loud
tones that their rest Is disturbed. When the head
OF the family is not there rehearsng the sermons
he would preach. and the prayers he would pray. II
he could get parish. the youthful Mullalys are
trying 20 prove themselves chips o. the old block

MIR Mutually doing the same act in a thin-walled
New-York fathouse. with windows opening on mar
row streets and courts inhabited by nervous clti-
zcns who get all the preaching they want on sun
day. is quite another thing.
