USE An AMERICAN TUNE.

The "Star SpanRIcd banner" for the
Court House Clock.
From the Minneapolis Times
Willard Patten, the well-kEow1 local
musician. is the last warrior that has taken
the field against the court house chimes
or rather against the present system OF
ringing out the quarter hours half hours
and hours. This is now done by produc-
ing parts of the tune known as the West
mir ster Chimes" which tune has derived
its name from the fact that II is and has
for long time been used for similar pur-
pose at Westminster Abbey in London.
One-Quarter OF the tune is used 10 denote
the quarter hour one-half The half hour,
etc, until the hour brings out the full
tune, followed by the number of the hour.
Mr.. Patten has nothing to say against the
system, but a good deal against the tune,
which he hesitates to recognize as music.
And in order not to lay himself open TO
the charge Of tearing down without SUBJ
stituting anything for what has been dis
posed Of. he has prepared O new tune for
the chimes. choosing for this purpose the
melody Of our national air. THE Star Span

the subject are as follows:

persons having TO do with the roads about

without any apparent cause. After ex-
pressing himself very audibly TO the pas
sengers, he resigned himself TO the incv-

were interrupted by the sundry jerks Of
the train, at which he complained. The
passengers showed their annoyance at
these complaints by angry looks. The con-
Suctor had excused the engineer IN every
possible way. The last apology had been
that cattle obstructed the track. The train
had started again and proceeded about ten
minutes when 1t halted with jerk. Up
walked the impatient traveller and petulan;-

The traveller subsided and the conductor
was left in peace.
