Last Sunday night the people of

Brass Band, under the leadership
Of that accomplished gentleman,
Professor Adolphe Heichelhe;m.
The weather was fine and every
thing seemed to be in unison.
making the evening enjoyable
One of the largest audiences ever
seen at the Pavilion greeted tlK
band on its arrival and many @
the pieces rendered brought forth
a storm of applause from the
crowd. OF all the pieces played,
though all were beautiful, "Il
Trovatore," Lies Rameaux". and
"Annie Laurie with variations,
were exceptionally fine and well
rendered. In ell TroYatore" the
barytone solo was rich; and yet,
the player, Mr., j. Q. Dupont, has
only adopted this instrument late
ly; he certainly gets a lovely sound
from it and can hold his own with
amy amateur. "Les Rameaux,' by
Fanre, was thoroughly enjoyed
by all, the sweet familiar strains
of "Annie Laurie" awoke Il new
interest in the hearts Of all SO
wheu the last strains died out in
the still night air the applapSethat
followed was simply ]deafeniug.
Although the band was eHcored
several times, they did not respond
but promised to include the mum
hers encored at the next concert
"DOn't be cross" solo by Mr.. y. j.
TOujan, was very good The next
concert is looked forward to with
much anticipation, as q good pro.
gram is promised, 1t is impoSsibl e
to arrange II better than last
Sundays, as it included some
pieces OF all classes, opera, dance,
classic aud martial-each piece
being not only difficult, but popu-
lar. Let the band continue tO
improve as it has done i'll the past
two months, aud Prof. Heichelhein
can boast Of having turned out one
of the best bands in the State,

It is the duty of the emperor to enter the temple of Heaven twice year and in- yoke the blessings of Heaven upon the people. He always asks for rain among other things, and the impression obtain ed that the emperor had hurriedly asked for rain, but had not taken the pains to state where he wanted it. The result was that floods came in some places, while famine from drouth came in other parts of the empire. This feeling was producing a general feeling of revolt, when in 1878 the rains came to the rescue in the drouth-smitten provinces.
 A few of the more intelligent Chinamen at Shanghai with whom I have con- versed exhibited an independence of thought which was exceptional It showed a tendency to break away from the tyranny of ignorance and supersti- tion, which tendency must eventually spread sufficiently to awaken an age Of reason And when it comes the Taouist high priest must fold his tent and silently march away.
 But the dominance of ignorance and the quackery of priests will hold China in slavery to an unreasonlng fear and ir- rational faith for genera tions yet unborn. Yet the seeds of a better intelligence are being planted in this dark corner of the earth The people observe that Euro peans give no heed to imaginary devils, and nevertheless prosper without the intervention of priests; and thus the re- aiizatian will eventually dawn upon them of how grievously their forefathers have been hoodwinked. cheated and robbed by the reign of demonology, created and per petuated for their own gain by the army of TaOuiSt DreStS

'I want to have a talk with you"
 Drawing her to his knee, just as he was wont to do in the days when she was a little blonde-headed girl of four, the fond parent laid his hand affection ately on the head of the young girl who was so soon to leave the domestic hearth around which had been passed the hap piest hours of her youth Hortense Me Farmacy had indeed, all that beauti- ful girl could wish for The daughter of a well known and popular druggist, she had never known what is was to want, for in the days when her father was but struggling prescription clerk she was as yet too young to realize their some What pinched circumstances. Hortense had always been his favorite, and when at one time she had advised him to cut down the profits on prescriptions from S05 to an even 800 per cent, while his nature strongly revolted, he at last con- sented to the change and this, perhaps, is the strongest evidence that could be given of the power of this girl over the naughty and obstinate millionaire. When, therefore, Hortense had confided to him, only few weeks previously, that she was going to marry well known poet in the neighborhood, it came as great shock, but the old man did not rebel. At the time he had given his re- luctant consent, but it was evident now from the firm look in his eye that he had come to some fixed determination that nothing could alter.
 My dear" he said, gently, 'I have been thinking over what you said to me last week. While I hesitated at the time to give my consent to your marriage with young McMeter on consideration l am rather pleased at the thought of having such a talented young man in the family. I am aware that he is poor, but that IS nothing against him. 1 am willing to helr you along and make it easy for you. I am willing to stand by you as your father, but there is one thing l want to make plain"
 What can that be, papa?" wondering ly asked the yong girl, as she looked up a him out of her luminous eyes.
 'It is this," replied the parent T want it distinctly understood, so there can be no mistake about it; l am not going to furnish him with postage stamps.
