So confident were they that they aaid they did not intend to oauou. concerning tha matter at all, Mr. Donovan Is reticent.

He feals keenly the orlti oitm whioh his vote for Bay subjected him to, and it may be that he will do right hereafter. The election Bay ha. had the effeet of retaining the following Republican.

About an hour aubaoquently Officer Cleary returnod from tha station house to his beat, and. on going past tho Mr. Beatty mildly repravod him for striking the dog. The otfioer made an angry retort and said that the dog bad run at bim and that be waa sorry ho had not knocked hiB brains out." Mr. Beatty stuok up for the dog'a quiet disposition, and hla remarks so enraged Cleary that ho seized him by the collar and dragged him violently Into tba street from the storo.

Mr. Baatty atruggltd to release himself, but he waa like a child In the hands of the officer, who, not satis fied with shaking the poor man, lifted his dub and. struok him EVXBAL VIOLENT BLOWS ON THB HEAD, faos and body.

Then thay paid his fare on a horse oar and told him to go into the BUburbs, A few week, after that he was indicted by tha Grand Jury for playing Othello. He waa put under heavy bonds to keep tha pesos for six. month. In tho unspeakable anguish of big soul he connected himself with the aide how of a olrcus.

In formar tlmea ha had been accustomed to feast on succotash, and sawdust waa rather trying to hla inwardness. Upon a notable occasion, he asked the manager to Increase his salary $1 per month. He said that aawdust was quite palatable In its way, but he wanted the extra dollar for an 00 caalonal oyster stow.

The manager grimly smiled, and said: last man who played the Wild Man of Borneo and Four Horned Cannibal of thePrairies diod vory fat and wealthy. I am determined now that no man in my employ shall die euoh a ainf ul and Boandaloua doatn. Then our young friend simply aaid "I am the sport of dostlny.

Being a man of leisure, I sometimes stroll Into our Court Houso, and saa what li going on in the halls of justice. I see and hear a good many things which I don't understand, and I am often led lo ttj "I should like to know." I should like to know, for Instance, why a judge Is at liberty to keep his hat on in a oourt room, whin everybody else la expeoted to take his off. I should ilka to know why a judge is sometimes sweat that molasses candy is nothing to him, and at others bo snappish and bearish that small lawyers an afraid to hem, for fear the big gavel should whack thunder out of the benoh reminding on. of tha eta nursery rhyme: I know a Uttle girl, And the ha. a little ourl Bight In the middle of her forehead; When she's good, very good indeed, And when she's bad, she's horrid.

I should like to know why oil the big lawyers grails' ao blandly on tba judge whan they oomo Into oourt, and spread thalr overcoats over the books of thalr chairs, with the rich satin lining outside. Also, why thoy begin to talk in auoh a low tone, and ore .6 politar at first, and why thay alt looking at the oomer of the room when thalr advaraory la talking, and pretend not to hear what ho Is saying. Also, why they havs so much spare linen above and below their nsoillos, and what they do in the private room with the Judge, while a couple of hundred of tho small fry are fidgeting outside and wondering whothor the argument they prepared ao carefully will keep until bis Honor geta through. i should like to know why lawyers, as a rule, hare diamond atuda and dirty finger nails, and what relation, if any, the one bears to the other. I should like to knew what becomes of all the blotting paper and legal foolscap spread around the Court rooms every day, and also wbother a' party may pocket the pena before ho has been admitted to the bar.

I should like to know why a judge nod. bis head to a lawyer when he Is arguing a oaae, it the Judga dont desire the lawyer to understand that tha argument satisfactory and conclusive and I should llko to know bow it comes to past, after the aforesaid nodding, that the lawyer nearly always finds that tha decision of tho Oourt Is agalnat him and In favor of the other man who was honored with no Inclination of the Judicial head, I should like to know why an insane lawyer who odlcally annoys the Court Is not Mat, after due process, to an aaylum; and whether it 1. because it would ostabhah a prooedont whioh would thin out: tha legal profession, and might even lead to vacancies on the bench, I should like to know bow the lawyers whoso elo quently defend tbo rights of married women, and so unsparingly belabor the orual or unfaithful husband, behave when they ara at home; whether they swear and shake their fiats whan their drawers aren't mended, and bounce out ot the house ot a morning without saying good by, because tbare are aome blaok specks floating about in their coffee. I should like to know why somo young lawyer, always argua a case in tight fitting kid and why it fa thoy ore nearly alway. beaten and generally have to pay ooats.

I should llko to know why one logged lawyer, are always energetic and persistent, and whether it is bo cause thay throw their whole soul into it, I should like to know why tho judge sees tha point much rapidly whan it', near lunch tuna, than earlier In tha day. I should like to know when two or more Judges lunch together, which pay. and if so, whothor it pays to lunch together, I Bhould like to know why a lawyer yawps and howls and startles the old pieman in the oorrldor, when there aro only the judge, another lawyer and himself In oourt; also, why the judga doesn't howl back whoa he asks a question or makes a decision. I should like to know why a Judge sends back tho papers on a motion on tha ground that tho wrlttng Is unroadabla, whan it tako. threo olarks, twenty oourt officera and a small boy to decipher the judga'a noto to that effect.

I should llko to know why everybody laughs whan a judgo makes a Joke, that would be instant dfsmfssal to aiiy lawyer's dork who had the temerity to utter la. I should like to know whother anybody ever suggested to a judgo that it ia Just as possible for him to lniluonco a jury when delivering his oharge by the tone of hiB voice aa by the worda which he employs. I should liko to know whother anybody ovary saw by more accident a referee handing over part ot the spoils to a judgo and, if so, which of thorn said thank you." I should like to know why it is that a dtvoroa suit alwaya hangs after a counsel fee has been allowod, I should like to know why the Suproma Court calendar Is crowded with potty oases, while tho tlty Oourt calendars run down every term. I should like to know why no Judgo will ba before hla last term expires. I should like to know how a Judge looks in hi.

nightgown, and whether he flies an opinion before he tha children. I should Ilka to know whether it Is true that pleas lawyors say Give as this day our dally bread, with oosla," or whether It Is only a slander. I ahould like to know what the opinion of tha Court would bo, t3 a rule, II it waa expresses, ot tha lawyer instead of hla. case. I should llko to know whether It ia true that Joalouay exists between the country and dty Judges, and whether tha three thousand dollars a year extra has anything to do with it.

I ahould like to know what Is meant by tha back stairs, and whether it 1. true that they have bean removed up tho river, as the lawyors say.

Coming Changes in Facta and Gossip Concerning the Singers and Organists of Brooklyn Where They WUI Warble Their Praises for the Twelvemonth to Come.

The musical year, in its slow progression, bids fair at length to take It. place alongside the calendar! twelvemonth, and to date its changes, and lis consequences from the first day ot January, the first day of May. In many centers, and oapeoially In tho cities of tho western part of New York State, the eodeslasUco mualoal year begins and doses with Easter; on the probably, that as Is then that all nature puts on new life, It la fitting that tha trials and disappointments, tha ills inflicted upon long suffering congregations, upon priest and people, by the well meaning but misdirected efforts of amateur artists and visionary vocalists should be wiped out. and a new start taken toward the achieve ment of tha Parnassus of religious ecstasy as embodied "sheet music oholrs." Brooklyn, with a prosalo regard for the controlling influence whioh impale her householders, at one time and with one aooord, to pull and seek new mansions for their temporal abiding plaoe, has settled upon the first of May as the appointed season for the annual musical exodus. But custom, of lata year, at least, has become modified by practice, and though the actual transfers still continue on that date, the actual engagements are perl eotod very much earlier in tho year.

As with the householders, ao with organists and singers, February has oamo to bo regarded as the season ia which to give and receive notifications of contemplated ohanges and removals; and the end of Uaroh usually finds vary few Instances In which It la not positively known on the part of employers and employed what they have to look forward to in the year to come. Tha present season, however, is an exceptional ono in this respect as what respect la it not and while in a majority 01 cues everything I. settled tho smaller ahurohoa having perfected their arrangements and determined who hall and who shall not sing their praises for them there yet remains a numbor ot prominent congrega tion. Whose musical affair, are in that interesting con dition known to tho initiated sa being upon tenter hooks. This ia the situation In which ST.

ANN'S ON' THB HBIOHZS finds Itself. To those familiar with the workings of our musical Israel It has long bean knows that though St. Ann's rejoioea in the supposed to be Indispensable adjunct of a Muslo Committee, the oontroillng Influence in the direction of that portion of the economy of the church is really the Ber. Noah Hunt Sohenok, D.D. St.

Ann's, like many another church in the Protestant Eplsoopol communion, has two ends to it that If to say, the clorioal end and the oholr end but, unlike Its confreres, those enda ara Indivisible. The chancel control, the choir and therein the Rev. Dr. Sohenok displays his wise appreciation of the correlation of foroes. Mr.

Dudley Buok, one ot the best known and most talented of American composers, has been tha organist and musical diraotor of St. Ann's during tha twelvemonth now drawing rapidly to a close. The severance those relations, it is authoritatively given out, has baen determined upon, on the part ot that musician, but who Is to be his suooessor does not yet appear. To whom the maintenance of the musical repute of St. Ann's shall be intrusted has not yet been fully decided by the reverend rector, who halts between two opinions whether to engage an organist to take entire charge of the muslo agreeably, of course, to hi.

own wishes and dictates or to secure simply a player, the dlreotion of the Ber vices to be assumed by Mr. Eugene Clarke, the tenor. In the latter evont a displacement ot the present solo tenor of the churoh, Mr. J. O.

Mesoham, would ensue. Mrs. Kate Bead will probably continue as soprano, and Miss Lizzie P. Schott, if she does not rjsssume her former position as organist, will be the contralto. Mr.

Henry Brown, the basso, goes with Mr. Buck to THB OBTJBOH OT THB HOLT TBINITI. Until within a few days past no positive affirmation or denial of this last mentioned change could be ob tained. It would only bo admitted by those In Interest that suoh a thing had bean talked of, but that it was not positively settled as to whether Mr. Buok would or would not assume Mr.

S. B. Whlteloy's place. The last named, on bis own admission, is going to a prominent Naw York church, bu what one la not lndioated. Oiroumstanoes point atrougly toward St.

Paul's, Trini ty Parish, though as it is known that Mr. Buok, as also nearly every organist of great or little promise and prestige In New York and Brooklyn, has made appli cation for the position recently vacated by Mr, John H. Cornell, this is an open question only to be deter mined by the progress of Holy Trinity for several months' past has been seeking a basso, without finding a satisfactory substltue for Mr, KlnroBs. Tha position was offered to Mr. John E.

Borne, but declined without thanks. More recently Mr. A. H. Stoddard has been requested to accept the appointment, but tha admirable vocalist prefer, a New York church, and bis acceptance of the position is therefore hold in abeyanoe.

Miss Josepbina Holoombe, It ia under stood, is desired to remain and will do ao, as will also Miss Lehman, the contralto. Mr. George Ellard, the tenor, la In the market, and contented and unconcern ed aa usual. The Music Committee of Dr. Storra' Churoh would like to seouro his servioes, and might, only for a decided difference of opinion as to figures.

The chorus choir in Holy Trinity will be rotalned. PLYMOUTH OHUBOH. Leaving the Episcopal churohes for a moment, Ply mouth Ohuroh claims attention. Hera Mr. Henry Camp will continue to dlreot the musical worship, as for so many yeara be has dona sncoasaf uly and satisfactorily.

Tho retirement of tho veteran organist, Mr John Zundel, on a liberal pension provided by tha churoh, gives opportunity for a younger man to make fame and reputation in thia cantor of denominational and ohuroh Influence. Strangely enough, the ohoioe of Plymouth ha. fallen upon a gentleman who for a num ber of years past has served tha Clinton avanua Congregational Church with so much of fidelity and ability that be had come to be regarded as lndiapan.abla to tha Rev. Dr. Budlngton'a congregation.

This gentleman is Mr. Henry Eyre Browne, who will take bis seat at tbe great organ of Plymouth on the first Sunday in May. Studwall, nee Miss OlemenUno v. Lasar, continues aa leading soprano, and the church will hava the services of Mr. George Werrenratb, tho Danish tenor, whose pronounoed sucoess in Wagnerian opera la ot too reoent a date to require more than passing mention.

Mr, Jules Lumbard will be tho basso, the only change in tho choir being the return of Mrs. Rozan, rue Miss Anna Holbrook, who Is to suooeed Miss Emma Oranoh as oontralto. lit la Mr. Camp's Intention to enlarge tho chorus ohoir somewhat, and one or two good basses and altos can find plaoe In the organization by mafc'ng early application. While Plymouth drawa upon her denominational neighbor for an organist, tho CLINTON AVENUE OONOBEOAMONAL OHUBOH goes into the domain of "the Church;" to repair the loss sustained in the taking away of Mr.

Browne, and to that end thoy have ongaged Mr. John H. Brower, tho present able young organist of the Churoh of tho Messiah, The Clinton avenue Ohuroh will retain tho servioes of Miss Anna P. Bangor, the pleasant voiced soprano, it la said, as also thoso of Mr. W.

Balrd, tbo baritone. Johnnie Browor, as tho ladioB affcctlou ately call bim, is to bo congratulated on having scoured a nice thing of It iu getting Mr. Browno's plaoe. Dr. Budlngton's people appreciate merit, and are willing to pay liberally for it, Mr.

Brewer's aucoessor at the OHUBOH OF TIIE MESSIAH will probably bo Mr. Robort ThalloD, a young musician of diversified talents, who Is organist, pianist, violinist and oomposer cnnxbluod. it haa beeu given out that Mr. W. E.

Q. Evans, the musical director of tha church had resigned, but tho Intimation can be traced to no reliable source. In the two years that Mr. Evans has been identified with thia choir tho Churoh of tho Messiah has advanced from a very lowly position in the scale of musical excellence to a front plaoe. The congregation Is a hard one to suit and it Is no Blight crodit to Mr, Evans that he has aucoaoded so well in harmonizing the divergent elements and In catering satlBfylugly to the peculiar sentiments of the worshipers.

He has succeeded in bringing the Borvioe from out a slipshod, makeshift style of porformanoe into a shapely, ecoloslastloal, churchly form, and tha impross of tha good work ha haa thus performed will ba long felt to the advantage of the musical eoonomy of tho Church of tho Mossiab. It is not likely that any ohango will be made here In tha matter of the choir, which Is a'purely volunteor oborus, OHUBOH OV THE BEDEEJtTEB. At the Church of the Bedoemer Mr. Arohlbald Arthur makoa an advanoa of salary the in qua nan of hiB continuing to offlciato as organist and musical director. Falling thia, 't la said, Mr.

Arthur will transfer hia aervioea to a from which ha has reoelved a flatten offer. If the Churoh of the Redeemer does put up more money for music tha coming year than it has tho present It will bo about tho only lnslanoa In the two cities, for tho tendency of salaries la downward. Miss Fannie C. Culver, the soprano, who has given exoollent satisfaction for two yeara past, is open to another engagement. The rootor and muaio committee ore desirous to hava Miss Culver remain, but like the majority of rising young singers aha is ambitious, and seek, to obtain a position whoro har talent, will have moro favorable opportunity for display.

The other members of the choir wUI remain, LAFAYETTE AVENUE PBESBYTEBIAN. Mr. Charles H. Badger baa been re engaged aa or ganiBt and musical director of the Hev. Dr.

Cujlcr'a church for the enauing year. We aay re engagea, for though Mr. Badgor has been for the last two yeara Identified with tha Bey. Dr. Soudder's tabernaolo, it will be recalled that It was under hia supervision that the Lafayetta avenue Church attained its widespread musical prestige, The sy.tem inaugurated under the Hill regime, and at present in vogue a quartet of so loieta and supporting volunteer chorus is to be maintained, but it is not certain that tha member of tho existing quartet will ba retained singly or collectively.

Miss HatUe E. Bedloe, her friends aay, haa had offers, whioh ahe I. now deliberating upon, deoidedly more advantageous than the Inducements held out here, and tha transfer ot her voloa to a principal choir across tha river is by no mean, improbable. The opposition In regard to Mrs. Decevee, the contralto, and Mr.

Howard Dnnbar, the basso, Is not known. SECOND UNITABIAN OHUBOH, Like other of Its neighbor, tha Second Unitarian Churoh (Rev. Mr. Ohadwlok'a) finds it not only expedient but necessary to economise. ThiB tonohes tha musical question in a vital point, and the reduction of the appropriation for that portion of the service one half is likely to cause a considerable change in tba complexion of the choir.

It Is hardly probable, however, tbat any circumstance of thia nature will affect Mrs. J. K. Draper, tha oontralto, whoa haa grown up, io to with the church, and is universally admired and appreciated throughout tha congregation, and it may be down as certain tbat she will not ba let go. Mr.

of be is a Something ITntytte in Theatrical tin. the A Ham to the Handsomest and a Bag1 of Flour to the Ugliest Boy How the Con test was Decided. Harry and Fannie Wood had their annual benefit at the Olymplo Theatre last evening, and tha prinolpal attraotfon waa the following, printed lp their advertisements One ham will ba given to the handsomest boy in the gallery, and one aaok of Sour (0 tha ugliest boy In the gallery one eUrer oup to tha handsomest man in the lower part of the house, and a silver caster to the ugliest. To ba decided by tha ladles on tho stage Fiva bootblacks will be selected from the gallery and Ave pairs of boots taken from theludlenoe; the boy that blaoken. one pair the quiokaat will receive brushes and half dozen boxes of blacking, and the boy that blacks one pair the neatest will reoeivo a similar A little before eight o'clock over thirteen hundred tickets ware sold and hundred, ware turned away unable to gain admittance.

The orchestra circle was filled an early hour. Nearly every man who, sat in this part of the house looked aa if ba wa. reah from the barber's. Many young "gents," with hair resembling an inverted scrubbing brush, ogled the female minstrels, hoping make an impression. There was 9 fair sprinkling olerlcal looking youth, with cunning little 'aide whiskers, white nooktles and window glass diamonds.

They were all handsome. Even the owners of the bald orowos, which looked like oases In that' sea of heads, were good looking. Evarybody smiled, and nearly everybody confidentially informed hla neighbor, that wouldn't be awaraed the oup, not for worlds. Boss McLaughlin's bald crown was notable even In the presence of so many bald heads. Mr.

MoLaughlin did not enjoy himself, but ho was seated down in front, and it was next to impossible for him to push his way through the crowd to the THE PEBFOBMANOE. After a female minstrel first part, several soogs and dsnoes, Harry Wood appeared on the etage in company with Blx lady performers. in the gallery, "my mother aaya I ought to have the flour." "Yere'a yer ugliest boy," cried another. "It will be Impossible for me to go on," remarked Mr. Wood, 'If the noise Is not stopped.

Tho ladles will look about them and doolde who is tha bost looking boy in tha gallery." Sweet cherubS'look dls way," piped little follow. Nam, nam how I lore you," shouted a brawny blua ahlrtad youth. About twenty boys were shouting at the name time, and It was some minute, before quiet was restored. Mr, Wood threatened to do sway with the awarding of prizes, If tbe boys persisted in interrupting his remarks, Thia had tho desired effect and after the women held pow wow, Harry stepped to the front and aaid, "The ladle, have decided in favor of that little boy on the right hand side of the gallery." The boy was pointed out, but he refuBed to go on the etage. Ha did not wear any coat or vest and his beauty was hidden under generous covering of dirt, beautifully set off, by sun dry tobacco stains.

The lad was lifted by those around him and hustled over their heads until he was directly over the stage. The rough handling which ha received, disclosed the faot that he wore a blua underahlrt, the extremity of whioh fluttered lazily aa its owner waa being propelled in tha direction of the ham, whioh his fair look, had won. Say, Cully, blng de ham home to der ole woman," orled a boy on the opposite side of the gallery. "This is lent, why didn't ye give do boy a codfish?" "Wont his mother bo glad when Johnny goes home?" "Say, Harry, whore's my Puun; I've got a Grecian nosa." "Them women don't know what beauty is; look at Noaey Mulligan over there." These remarks were shouted lo sucoasslon by the godlings. The bam was handed to the fortunate boy, and then it was announced that tha ugliest boy would be picked out.

He proved to be a large fellow who carried off tha sack of flour, but he was very sensible, for, instead of refusing the prize, ho seemed proud of his ugly mug, and carefully tuoked the flour under his arm. "Skinny, you ugly rascal, you, go and hide that face," cried a friend of tha winner. 'Look at the bugaboo," shouted another, and a third wound up the ohorua with "With auoh a face as that, you'll naver get a mash." THE HIGH TONED CANDIDATES. Now came the prises for tha lower part of the house. Tho young men In the orchestra circle smiled and looked aimpty bewltobfug.

A boy ahouted out, "Givo the cup to Boss MoLaughlin." "Ain't tha Boss got a purty bald headf" said another. "Don't guy him," roared a third, "ha is the beBt of the wholo lot; don't go back on Old Reliable." "Dat'a bo," chorused several. A young brunette, who sit. in the female minstrel first part, seemed to bo tho leader of the ladies on tbe Btage, in their selection, and after aho had pointed to one of the gente In the orchestra otrcle as the ugliest man in the house, Horry Wood said "The ladies have decided to present tha caster to that young gentleman Harry pointed to a rosy oheoked young fellow, who wore hla hair plastered over hiB orohead, and bad a roas In hla button hole. The winner ac cepted the fiat, and took his prize.

"What a face; it', enough to a clook." "Donovan will be hero blmeby; why didn't you savo the caster for him?" "Part that face in the middle." "Oh, doar, George, what a fright. I deolarel'm ahooked "Live it down. Go among the Palagonlana, and you mlaht find some ana uglier than yourself." "Blaok that face and exhibit yourself aa a Fiji canni bal." "Don't get in front of a glass, or you'll be frightened to death." Twonty more such observations greeted the owner of tha caster. "Tula noise must be stopped. Have soma respect for the performers," remarked Harry Wood, some what Irrelevantly.

"Have some respect for us," from the gallery. The prise for the handsomest man in the lower part of the house waa awarded to a Mr. Butta, who sat In a hoi at therlabt of the stasa. Ho bowed to Mr. Wood when ha waa handed the silver oup, and the boy.

in tbe sailer; hissed vigorously. At the end of a musical act entitled "Beautiful Venice," In wbloh they appeared, the beneflclariea were addressed by a performer named Joe Arthur, who "on behalf of thoir numerous presented Harry Wood with a gold watoh and chain, and a neok. lace, with earrings and brooch, was given to Fannlo, The lady also received a baakot 01 "Hock shop." "Dollar atoro." "Why didn't you give them a suit of furniture and be done with It." "Say, Harry, you ought to wet them." "Take us out and give us a schooner." "You can spout that watoh for a tenner." Such were a few of the remarks made by the gods, Another slice of the entertainment was given and then four bootblacks. One a negro, marched on the stage Harry Wood, going to the front of tho stage, said A BAVOBX SO ENE. "I want four pair of boota from tbo audience." "Don't aak anybody to take off their boots." "Open the windows." Mr.

Wood narrowly escaped being Btruok with two largo Bhooa thrown from the gallery. They were, without exaggeration, fourtoen inches long. The boot blacks were given eaoh a pair of shoes, and at tho word their brushes began to move as if propelled by steam. The boy who waa given the large Bhoes from the gal lery finished first and was given the prize. The other three went iu for neatness, and, when nniBnoa, the three pair of shoes were placed in line and the audlenca waa asked, liy raising their hands, whioh they thought was tho neatest.

The gallery was nearly evenly divided between the two white boys, and when the pair ol shoos blackened by the negro was held up to view the man in the lowor portion of the house voted tor him solid, and "Nigger Davis" was awarded the prize. "That's a returning board down "You can't bull doze in favor of the nigger here," "Why don't you give the poor whites a ohance," "A white man is as good aa a nigger." Harry Wood succeeded In pacifying the boy. in the gallery, whon a young man carrying a guitar walked on tho and announced that he would sing about the ugly boy. He tilled back in his chair and began sentimental song, which was drowned by hisses. "Ah 1 go in." "Beipeot our feelings." "I had a brother once." "Put them feet away." "Who lent you the wig "Are yon the only one in tho family who can sing After being unmercifully guyed, the young man alid off.

Another young gentleman walked on the stage and aaid, with a twangy voloa, "With your permission, I wUI reoite to you that thrilling poem, 'Shamue You must keep still, or I will be unable to go oh." They did keep "Oh, sing us a song." "Take a reef in those "Did you bring all your noes with you "We don't, want to hear the poem." The performer grew red In the face, and saying "Then you shan't have it," skipped off the stage. With the exception of Miss Alios Somen, who was greeted ss "Old time rooks" and "Our Alice," all the performers were more or lees guyed. Miss Somen, who did neat song and dance, was called out five times. Several policemen were on duty, but it was Impossible to keep the boys quiet, for tha reason that no policeman oould get near the unruly ones, .0 pocked was tbe gallery. ClTf HALL.

The Eepublicans having suooaeded in electing a President of the Board of Aldermen, will endeavor at the meeting to morrow to make the appointments whioh tho deadlock interfered with. The principal positions in the gift of the Board ara those of assistant keeper ot the Olty HaU, sergeant at anus, messenger of the Board, keepor of tha bath, a dark of committees and six sealers of weights and measures. The present sealers hdd over from last year and have already collected their tee. for this year, so that these posttidn. are stripped of their emoluments.

Tha Republicans ore perfectly willing that the Democrat" should take them but over the others they ore making big fight, and they hope to have Donovan with them in these appointments. If Donovan does aot with them, thay can gobble up all the places. The preaent Incumbents, ba that event, will be retained. The Democrats have selected their CANDIDATES, but will not now divulge the names. It la known, however, that William Maguire is slated for assistant koeper of the HaU.

Mr. Maguire held the portion for sometime. His father was assistant keeper for many jeara. Young Maguire was removed when the Republican, eecured oontrolof the Board In January 1816. Ho made a faithful and popular assistant to Mr.

Montalembert and Hyaclnthe. rspfioial Oorrespondande of tha Eagle. Pabxb, Maroh 10, 1877. The pressure of times has been felt lately In this eountry, as well aa in the United States, the great dlfforonoe, being that while In the lottor country tha distress and suffering consequent thereon waa general, in. France it ban bean confined to only a few districts.

Tha City of Marseilles is ono of the stricken localities, and the plaee is aaid to be threatened with that worst of dlaturbanoes, a bread riot. Marseilles, however, whioh is looked upon as hot headed, communistic) city, ready at any moment for deeds of violence on the slightest protoit, daos not oxolte bo muoh sympathy In the breast ot the average Frenchman as does Lyons. Lyons, whioh la the second city of Franoa population, and a great oestre for the manufacture silk, ia thought to be mora sorely pressed, although no riots arc threatened. The silk weavers have bean out of employment for a long time, and distress reigns tho place, dENEBOSrrr OF THE PEOPLE. Tha readiness with; which Paris and other oities that fare better have aome to the utlstaaoa of the suffering, truly admirable.

Charity balls, oonoerta, theatrical bonoflta, ladies' bazars and voluntary subscriptions hava been frequent In this olty. A plooe of Bilk, if said to havebeon brought from Lyons, will bo qulokly purchased for double or treble Its value if It In announced that tha profits are to be sent to the povorty stricken, city, OHABITX Of" MADAME MAO MAHON. Madame MaoMahon, who has already won golden opinions for herself by her innumerable deeds of oharity, ordered a silk dress of the ooBtllest description to ba made at LyonB. Har example was followed by many of the wealthy ladles of Paris, as she Intended It should ba. GEAND OHABITX BALL.

Under tho auspices of tho same worthy lady a grand ball waa given the other day, whioh waa deoidedly tha great event of tho season. The Opera building waa decorated for the occasion with all the magnifioenoa that Paris was capable of supplying. No pains, DO expense was spared to make it. tha grandest thing in the line of balls ever seen by any one present, even in tha days whan Eugenia was the quean of Parisian aooioty. Tha President of the republic, the ministers of State and other dignitaries, foreign ambassadors, tho arit tocraoy and nobility of Paris and neighborhood, were all th.ra acoompanled by their lady friends who, In tha ball room, presented to view auoh profusion and variety of costly drosses, preoiona jewelry aud glittering diamonds as is seldom witnessed.

The only drawbaok In tho whola affair was the absenoe of Madame MaoMahon herself who was missed by everyone. During tho ball whioh she had worked so hard to make a perfect suocess, and which she would have enjoyed as much aa any one present, aha was by tha bedside of her brother, the Duke do Castries, who at the time was lying dangerously ill. The proceeds of the ball, whioh was given for tha re liof of the ArtiMns of Lyons, will amount, it Is thought, to 200,000 francs, oil expenses paid. PABIS IN THE LENTEN 8EAS0N. Paris oontinues to ba the gayest ol cities, even in this Lenten season, either because Lent is not observed at all, or else because the Parisian, are not unmindful of tbe Scriptural oouneel of nevor appearing bo oheorful as when we ara fasting and doing penance.

Bo that as it may, nowhere ara amusements ao numerous and so splendid. What city oould give a ball like the one just spoken of what oonoerta ara superior to those of tha Conseruofoira and PascisIoup what theatres draw larger houses than the opera and the Italians, and what Capital can boBBt like us of bringing out two new operas next month like Gounod's "Cinq Mars" and Maaae net'a "Bala da Lahore?" I will return a moment to the nubjeot of the grand oharity ball to mention an item for tho fair sex whioh esoaped me at the time. The two ladles most admired there were grandmothers Baroness Alphonso Rothschild and Mme, Villeneuve, a native of Braail, who was attired in simple white tullo and ao ornamonta. As testimony to the triumph of simplicity in dress, a leading dry goods establishment has advertised for tho plainest salesladies. GENEBAL CHANGABNIEB.

Tho French newspapers ara not In accord In what thay have had to say of Changarnler since hia death. Somo eulogized him to the skies, while others maintained that he waa entirely unworthy of the high reputation he enjoyed with many during his long life. As it appeared to me he was one of those whom we now and then see rise to distinction, although no ono can point out tho roason. HIb fame aa a soldier seams to havo been based on tho solitary faot of a masterly and perhaps heroic retreat whioh he conducted In Algeria many years ago. As a statesman, I hava bean informed by some who had a right to know, that he never Im pressed bis listeners with the wisdom of his oounsels, while in regard to political principle he seems to have had none.

Ho waa by turns a ltoyaiist, lmporiaust ana Republican, according as it beat served his purpose or bis vanity. As an end to suoh a career ho was honorably inter red at the publio expense, like one who had deserved well of hla country, In the "Chopelle des whioh ia a sort of mausoleum for deceased celebrities. Meanwhile there Is much discussion as to who shall oooupy hiB east in the Senate Chamber, OPtUONS OF MAOMAHON. I have already observed in a formar letter that tho ultra Republicans are not great admirers of MaoMahon. In faot nothing would please them but the commune.

The Royalists and Bonapartists are also beginning to throw out hint, that they feel disappointed in him, Eaoh side olaimed him as being in sympathy with them. They are beginning to think that the Republio la lasting too long. They expeoted that after some time the gallant Marshal Would, by a neat little coup d'etat, hava relnaugurated, according to their respective desires, either royalty or tha empire. The Pres ident, however, Is far too sensible and too patrlotio to dream of anything of the kind. M.

The period of hla retirement would remind one of the nap of Rip Van Winklo, Judging by some things ho said in a speech he delivered on tho occasion of his waking up. His topic was the bill at present under deliberation relating to the rednotion of the term of compulsory mil norvlna.

Tha present law flxea that term at five Tears, and It is proposed to reduce it to three. Thiers, on the contrary, would have it extended to seven. The old gentleman ia emphatically in favor of old, well drilled soldiers, and scouts the idea that the army should forever consist of roorults, whioh, according to him, will be the case If the bill bo carried. He wants a compsratlvely small army that shall be thoroughly disciplined and led by good generalB. He alleges Marengo and other places In proof that suoh an army always wins, even though opposed by an onomy vastly superior in numbers.

In reuard to this latter point, M. Thfer. is right In the main history proves It. But still It cannot be denied that modern warfare la fast becoming a mora manor nf numbers and mechanics. When M.

Thiers anoers at "numbers," as bolng only on a par with tha hordes of ancient barbarians, ha ignores tho faot that modern hordes are trained and scientifically moved, and that a hordo from beyond the Rhino was able to cripple Austria In six weeks, and to crush France in flvo months. M. ThlerB has shaken confidence iu his sagacity by riflina his hobby to death. Ho maintains that the oen turv has discovered nothing but tho pianot neptuue and that tbo art of war haa undergone no ohango since thi davs of Julius Cmsar. So, according to him, gun powder, steam locomotion, telegraph wires, breeoh loading rifleB, Gatlin guns, torpodoes, your Amorican monitors, tc would be of no avail against bows and arrows, shields and Bhort swords, catapults and knights In armor.

As a sequel to tho above, I will add that tho drafting of roorults for tho army Is drawing to a close. The number of conscripts taken from this city amounts to 12,637.

Although rain fell for soma hours during the night, the morning broko fine with a strong broeae from north to west keeping off fog and clearing away tho rain.

The Dumber of spectators whioh lined tha banks of the ThBmea to view the oontoet was smalU, and there were not half sa many steam veasela and launches on the river as By half past seven ovclock nearly alt of them had passed upward from Putney, but the beach warorowded with a large number of row boata, aome of whioh were with difficulty taken ont of tho course of the oompetlng crews. The Cambridge men arrived at the Leander boat house at half past seven o'clock, and the Oxford men nearly half an hour later. About a quarter before eight o'olook the sun ahone brightly, but the wind blew hard from northwest by north, and diagonally across tho river from the London boat house to Fulham Churoh. The Oxford crew embarked at 8 o'clock, and having won the toss for position, took the Middlesex station, their opponents not launching their boat until nearly ten minutes later. 'While the Cambridge crow wore coming to the post, the Oxford eight took a preliminary row as far as the Star and Garter.

The starting boata wore moored opposite the lower ond of Putney Terrace, and at a quarter past 8 o'olook tho two crews prepared for the start. The signal was unfortunately delayed by the breaking away of the press boat from her moorings, but at twenty minutes past the hour both eights were in readiness, and tha start was made at 837. The oars of Oxford were the qulokest into the water, and they drove the nose of their boat well to tha front, being oight feet ahead In half a dozen strokes. This lead they held to the Duke's Head, whoro Cambridge rowing the slower stroke of the two, drew up and became levol half way between the Duke's Head and Simmonds' Yard. Off the latter plaoe, about a furlong and a half from tha starting boats, they went ahead in their turn, being about four feet In advance, as nearly as oould bo judged, from astern.

AT THB LONDON BOAT HOTJSB, but a slight distance further on, tho crews occupied the same relative positions, there being little to cboooo between them. Cambridge were rowing somewhat better together than their opponents. As they passed Bishop's Croek, three furlongs from the starting point and half way up tho concrete wall side, the wind obliged the Cambridge coxswain to put on a great deal of rudder, and this enabled Oxford to draw up just below the Bite of the old half mile post, and at Craven Cottage, six furlongs from Putney, tho boats were about level. Bounding the bond Oxford showed In front and led by several feet at the upper end of tha Cottage grounds, being a third of a length in front off the Grass Wharf. At Bosebank Villa, a mile having been traversed, Ox ford still lea by the same distance, if not a trifle more but lu crossing the water In Crab Tree Heach, Cambridge, who wero rowing more ateadlly than their op pononta, commenced to make up their leeway, and at Crab Tree, two lurlongB further, Oxford only led by a few feet.

Between Crab Tree and the Soap Works Cambridge kept coming up to tha leading boat, and drew level off the latter place. At the Distillery, allght Jy over a mile and four furlongs from tha starting point, Cambridge onoe more ohowod In front by lome two or three feet, and slightly increased their lead, passing under Hammersmith Bridge, a furlong and a half further on, with an advantage of between two and three feet. Off BIffons boat house both craws encountered rough water, but no change was made in the relative position of tha boata until off the ovos, two milas from Putney, where Oxford, though on the outside, gained at the oil mills, a little above a furlong from the Doves, drew up alongside, the two orews being at one time very close together, and in IMMINENT DANOEB 01 COLLISION, as a TOWboat full of people pulled aoroso their bows. Just below the foot of Cheswiok Eyot, Oxford was once more rowing faster, and at tha bottom of tha island was again in front, being better together than Cambridge, who seemed much troubled by the rough water. About the middle of the Eyot, Oxford had increased their lead to half a length, as the rowing In the Cambridge boat became Bhort, and at Chiswlck Church, three miles having been rowed, they had increased their advantage to two thlrda of a length, tho raee being apparently no longer In doubt.

Bounding the bond into Horse BoaoS the water bocame smoother, and Cambridge Towing better together gained upon Oxford, but as tho latter msdo their effort they drew away, and were nearly a length ahead off the bathing plaoe, a furlong further on. In tne vuze 01 Devonshire's meadows Cambridge their turn made another effort, but it only reduced the lead of Oxford to two thlrdB of a length. No further chango occurred up to Barnes' Bridae. about five furlongs from tha win ning point, through which Oxford passed with tho tdvantaoe of nearly a length, and going further ahead led by a length and several feet of day. Hoht rmnnaitn tho White Hart, a little furthor on.

Off the Limes, threo miles and six furlongs from Putney, Cambridge again spurted, and reduced tha lead of Ox ford, which momentarily got all abroad, aa their bowman waa seen to be in Olfflcultios and unable to use hie oar properly; consequently, Cambridge drew up within a third of a length off Godfrey's, and a torriflc raoe ensued thence to tho finish, Oxford striving to retain their lead and Cambrldgo to head tbem. From the Ship to the winning post, which was stationed Borne distance above the Ship, Cambridge drew up, and the gnn flrod as the two orewi raced past tho judge level, amid A SCENE OF THE WILDEST EXCITEMENT mhnre and afloat. The time of the race was 24 minutes, 10 seconds On beine asked the result, Mr. John Pholps, the judge, declared the raco to be a dead heat. Imnaenao choer ing followed, as tho crews rcturnod to Putney on tho Thame9 ConBervanoy steamboat At tha meeting this afternoon between tho representatives of tho crews, tho judge ststod that he uevor wavered from hi decision that tho race was a dead beat.

The Cnntabs rowed in a now boat, built by Swaddle Wtnahip, while tho Oxfords used a new Clasper boat PBBSS COMMENTS. The Ftaniard says; "Just at tha White Hart, Ox ford's Number One broke his rowlooks, but was still ablo to row. Mr. Caitty was r.mpire.' The IHU Stall QazetU says "When Barnes' Bridga waa reached Oxford had a clear yard or two lead, and seemed to have tho raoo In hand. They were rowing aoDarently a trifle within themselves, while Cambridge waa rowing a faster stroke, throwing up some wator and losing ground.

But after passing the White Hart there was a lurch and stoppage in the Oxford boat Tho bow's oar had cracked or sprung, and from that nolnt he was unable to feather it against the head wind or make any practical nae of It. The stoppage brought Cambridge up Instantly, till their bows were amidships nf Oxford and tha latter woro left witn naii length's lead, half a mile from home, and little mn oars to srat there. The seven unorlnnled men kept well together. The bow with his Air in trouble, was at seesaw with tha reat, and often onnld not nut his blade iu the water at all, but had r.nn, tr, An mvb it from catching water aa It drooped. The Oxford ruddur was put hard on to keep the balance of four oars against threo.

The judgi flrod his gun at the finish and then seemed diaap nnar for the best part of half an hour. Tha umpire steamed backward and forward to find him but with out success. Tha umpire then steamed to London, having left orders for the Judge to appear befora him withrmt ilalav. to rtcord a formal veraict. Tne unous lness llko way in which the Judge acted Bhould be narnlnu to university Presidents lo abstain in future from employing waterman judges in general and John PhelDB in rjartioular, Th 7ho aavs The result of the race was very unexpected.

The CettfrafiVeira says after consultation between the judge and umpire the ruling of a dead heat was confirmed.

Or owing Belief Xha Be Has Sailed. For Europe Furtnor Contradiction of tne Story Tost Ha Waa murdered in Brooklyn. Ex Mayor A. Oakey Hall disappeared from office in New York over one week ago. Up to tha present hla friend, and the polios have found no due I his whereabouts and no motive for his abrupt departure.

Theories Innumerable have been started regarding tha case, but nothing reliable has been diaoov ered to indicate whether Mr. Hall has fled to Europe, secreted himself for the purposa of perpetrating joke on the publio, or committed suicide bean murdered. Every effort is being made private and official doteotlvea to trace htm, but as without sucoess. Thd mystery oontinae. to be tho chief toplo of discussion In the New Tork olubs and hotels, and tidings of the missing man are eagerly awaited on every hand.

The offloe of the lawyer has bean doted since Friday afternoon. Mr. Aaron J. Von derpoel and Mr. James Cuming, of the firm of Van derpoel, Green Cuming, have taken entire ohorge of Mr.

Hall's business affairs they ara in possession ot his books, papora and all memoranda that oould possibly throw any light on the subjeot. The books and papers have been carefully examined, and if they contain any due to tho whereabouts ol tha ex Mayor, His SXOBET BETWEEN THB LAWTSBS AND DETECTIVES. The probabilities, are, however, that Messrs, Vander poal and Cuming ore aa much In the dark as ever, and the disappearance continue, to be a seemingly impenetrable myBtery. Tha theory that Mr. Hall fled to avoid the necessity of testifying on the trial of Peter B.

Sweeny has gained many oonvsrta, aa it was known Chat ho had a great aversion to any reference to his conneotion with tha Ring. The tForid yesterday reiterates the theory that Mr. Hall was murdered in Brooklyn while searching for evidence In a divorce ease. The name of a Mrs. Leonard Morgan is given as thro of one of the parties to the suit, but there ia no evidence that there Is suoh a woman living in this city, and, indeed, the detectives who are eearohing for her doubt very much if that is the case.

Mr. Cuming stated yesterday that he is almost certain that tbe name of the client referred to In THE BBOOKLYN DIVOBOK SUIT a Mn. Davis and not Mrs. Morgan. The reports In the World on tha aubjoot ara furnished by Mr.

Percy, who had a desk In Mr. Hall's offlco, and may possibly have obtained access to hia memoranda after his disappearance. Mr. Cuming emphatically denied tbe report tbat members of Mr. Ball's family were oognlzsnt ot his whereabouts.

They were, he said, plunged In the deepest distress by his sudden disappearance, and they fear very muoh that be haa been foully dealt with, Mr. Cuming said that of all tha theories that had been advanced about the case he believed that the most likely was that Mr. Hall had BAIXXS FOB KUBOPB on one of the steumen whioh loft New Stork en Saturday last. This would be known upon the arrival of tha steamer In Europe, and if Mr. Hall was on board, his friends and the publio would ba notified at onoe.

Mr. Cuming said ha believed thore waa nothing whatever in the theory about hla alleged murder In Brooklyn, and said it was gotten up merely as a newspaper sensation. It was reported in Now York yesterday that a large reward had boon offered for the missing man if alive and for his body if dead. The report waa denied from a reliable source. A friend of Mr.

Hall, who is actively engaged in tne search for him aaid yesterday that a reward would be useless. The police, the friends of the ax Mayor, and of course tho reporters were doing all they possibly could to find him, and if they were unsuccessful no reward that might be offered could poesibly have any affeot. Much stress has bean laid upon tha probability that Rooorder Haokott, of New York, was cognizant of the whereabouts of Mr. HalL The Rooorder whan questioned onlthe aubject, denied tha Btatement and said he had no idea of the ox Mayor's movements. Mlaa Ada Dvaa also denies any knowledge ot Mr.

Hall's whereabouts and feels deeply affected by hia absence. The law offices ot VanderpooL Green ft onming in the Tribune building were thronged yeeterday by friends of the missing man anxiously saarohlng lor tidings of bim. No new olow of any kind has bean discovered and the police are obliged to work on very Blight Information. They are completely at aea on the subject though working with great industry. HONEY MARKET.
