A portion of ita fugue has to ha omitted on account of its length, the Cathedral rale being inflexible against infringing on the service at the altar. The Sanctns is another exception to the prevailing tone of the work, being bunt of exaltation and triumph at the majesty of heaven.

Pie Jean, following the salvation of the host, is return to the most pathetic appeal for mercy, md is of beauty quite surpassing. The Agnus Dai fitly doses so sublime a work by Ita majestic power, and by Ita concluding prayer, Lux aterna luceat eis, Domino, cum sanctia tnia in aternum. The whole choir singing one tone In canon form, the four parte supplementing end overlapping each other, while the underlying accompaniment la varied in every possible way. As composer of church music Cherubini Is unequalled in this, that while lull of melody, harmony and dramatic effect, he never lowers the religious, even austere character of his theme seeming at first to conceive his work in the severest forms and then affectionately to adorn them by charming arabesques of musical grace. t.

GYMNASTICS FOR WOMEN. shops, museum, gymnasium, as the means are furnished. It is a noble and pathetic charity, which among all the worthy and necessary end humane beneficences makes its own penetrating appeal. To rouse the dwindling soul, to open the inward eye of the poor young children who shall never see the beauty of the world, to enable the most helpless to help themselves this is the charity for which this little sermon is preached, and for which the box will now he passed around. APRIL MAGAZINES.

THE OVERLAND. The Overland for April continues the discussion of the Chinese question in a series of three papers, which represent as many views of the subject. The first is an unpublished paper by the late General Irvin McDowell, upon Chinas resources for competition the second is by General John F. Miller, written in 1880 and now out of print, reprinted in consequence of numerous requests. Patrick J.

Mealy, well known among the working-mens clubs of Ban Francisco, also writes a very forcible paper entitled "A Shoemakers Contribution to the Chinese Discussion, intended to controvert Uie views of his fellows upon Chinese labor. Under the title of The Land Question Stated, Mr. Alexander Eels maps out, with singular clearness, the main outlines of the land question, and draws an instructive parallel between the agrarian history of Rome end of England. John M. Durst follows this article with one on Taxation of Land, in which he shows how unjust the present distribution is to the farmer and manufacturer, aa compared to the capitalist-being, in fact, a double taxation, and also telling heavily against thrift and accumulation.

The Overland is bringing out the economlo problems of the. Pacific coast one after another, in intelligent and well studied papers. It evidently regards this as much a part of its proper sphere aa the development of the purely literary interests of its section. These are not forgotten, however, for the same number contains an interesting group of poetry and stories poems by Charles Warren Stoddard, Miss Agnes Manning and Irene Manly and two short stories of California, besides cne from the German by Mon. A.

A. Sargent, and the chapters of the serial For Money. The hook-reviews, also, form important element of the Overland. In this number, the most important review is called Books about Man and Religion; Grant Allens Darwin, Spencer's and Jjhn Fiskes latest books, and the theological suggestion of the Andover school, are reviewed together, with a view to showing how science and religion are converging toward an agreement, Wo quote Mr. Stoddards poem SOME ONE TO SOME OTHE.

TUESDAY. APRIL IMS. TBX RETURN OF A SOUTHERN FLAG. ICHIWM6M Of tb Transcript OORnowroi! 5, CL, March 26. 1866.

Tbi latest "unco that haa varied the even taaor of onr waji and given na something stride of crop prospects to think and talk teat, is the return of the old flag." Bat, ita specific individuality is perhaps not as well known in Boston aa in Gtldstorongh, a word of explanation may he necessary. In April, 1861, the young ladies of the Goldeborough Female Seminary made a beautiful flag and presented it to the Goldabexough Rifles, then an independent -volunteer company. The a tern reality of war about that time began to take the place ef holiday drill and playing at soldiers. In process of the larger necessities of military organization which absorbed the local companies, the Goldsborongh Rifles became merged into a State regiment and was known aa Company A. Twenty-seventh North Carolina Troops.

The adoption of regimental ct lots rendered the flag of the Goldsborongh company superfluous, as far as immediate nae was concerned, but it was rolled np and carefully preserved. Then came the great straggle. The Twenty-seventh North Carolina bore its part gallantly and well. If the flag scold tell ns about the scenes of which it was the silent witness, we should probably have a page of war history as stirring and graphic as those with which the current icriodicals have been furnishing us for some time past. The regiment formed part of the garrison at New Berne, and on the evacua-titn of that town in March, 1862, the flag fell into the hands of the Twenty-seventh Massachusetts.

With that regiment it has remained until sow. In September last, through the newspaper account of an accident to a train conveying the Goldsborongh Rifles to Ashville, tie Massachusetts men discovered the continued existence of the company, and unanimously voted to return the flag. Ctrrespondence waa opened, and the matter resulted in the arrival on Thursday, the of General n. C. Dwight and Captain E.

Feck, as representatives of the Massachusetts regiment, with the flag. They were received with hearty welcome, and the sg restored, with appropriate ceremonies, speeches, the key-note of which was leccnciliation and good fellowship. I think tlat, for the most part, this kindly and graceful action is received as it is tendered, and that, even after all allowance for rhetoric has been made, the utterances of the speakers fairly echo the sentiments of the majority of the con inanity. Of course, there is an element in the South, as in the North, which seems to he incapable of outliving the ol.l antagonism, and appears to make it a matter of duty' to perpetuate it. On both sides of the line, I suppose, time alone can be depended upon for the removal of prejudice and the softening of animosity.

j. yt. h. GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS ON THE BLIND ASYLUM. From tti Miter's Easy Chair, April 11 a man were compelled to choose which sense he would lose.be would not relinquish his sight.

That, Indeed, is the last sense with which he would part. How precious it is is shown in the pathetic tenderness of feeling with which we regard the blind, andtbe feeling is deepened by the sweetness of dis-I csition and manner which is characteristic c-f them, as if Nature would atone for that de- rivation. They have also a fondness and eften a striking talent for music. The story of the blind Milton at hie organ always recalls to those who knew the blind organist Oliviero, that devoted and diligent musician, whose hand every Sunday seemed to the young fancy to evoke the voices of chernbim and seraphim as he pressed the keys of the great organ and filled the church with heavenly harmony. Those young pietists in the pews used to ahnt their eyes to have a more vivid sense of the actual darkness in which Oliviero lived, and nothing touched the young hearts with softer pity than to see him passing in the street, led by a child in whom he confided so fully that he walked without shrinking.

But to add to blindness extreme poverty Is to prednee as cstd a situation aacan befall a human being. There is no figure which appeals more strongly to sympathy than that of the blind child in the squalor of the tenement Louse, or in any den of utter destitution. With eyes, child may somehow emerge and fight bis way. In any event, he will net seem to the parent a hopeless, helpless, lifelong burden and it is the tragedy ct such destitution that the parental heart is often hardened, and the helplessness that naturally softens merely exasperates. The late tLat follows is terrible.

In that unbroken night, without occupation, without education, without the kindly society of fond cc mrades, alone in an unspeakable sense of aolitnde, the young soul shrinks and wastes the human child sinks toward the brute. It is a horrible enchantment, one of the sorest trials of human well as a fearful form of human suffering. When the late Dr. Howe one of the noble and heroic Samaritans who in every age and in every sphere of suffering and sorrow vindicate human natufe and restore the faith that wavers first opened the 8cliool for the Blind at South Boston was accustomed to receive the youngest blind children from the most squalid retreats and renew their lives with the sweet magic of affection and intelligence. No man in this country, whatever his ambition or his career, pursued his purpose with a loftier enthusiasm and success than Dr.

Ilowe, and the institution which owes so much to him still feels his animating impulse under the conduct of hie daughter and son-in-law, who, with the same earnest and disinterested devotion, seek like him to lead benighted childhood with that kindly light which shines on when the dearest eye is dimmed. Rome time ago, the Rasy Chair assured of the iatiex.ee and sympathy of its parish, or, more truly, its diocese mentioned the hope Mr. Anagnos to establish a kindergarten, c-r primary school, for the blind. This would he a complete and aunny nursery into which the poor waifs who are resiatlessly drifting toward mental barbarism could be gathered from their mournful and degrading ciicuuMances, and under friendly intelligence and experience and care acquire the command of power which would make them selMtety ful, contented and happy, hut which otherwise, like limbs absolutely dormant, would shrivel and waste into imbecility. The experiment of the kindergarten for the blind, as far as ft has been tried, la moat successful.

The result is inspiring. By the gentle and unconscious tutelage of plays nnil exercises and occupations, the young children learn to observe attentively, to perceive correctly, to listen intelligently, to apprehend readily, to think spontaneously, to express themselves dearly, to gain bodily activity and manual dexterity, to acqnire a taste as well as capacity for labor, an appreciation of beauty, and a love of truth and goodness. So says the dfopetor of this good work. The pdi-bcund sent is awakened to its powers as the helpleaa hand is taught first to feel, then to move, then to grasp, and on and on until the flying fingers hover over the keys I an instrument and draw out its meloily.or, J011 other form of pleasant industry enable the hliLd child literally to work hie way with those who see. Nothing is more fi touching than toe xeal with whirn the children who have been trained at the kindergarten contribute their labor and share their git's to promote the extension of the opportunity to their fellows.

One little girl gave part of her Christmas presents to a bsxar to aid the enterprise one little follow sent bis top. The generone benefactors of all good works have not forgotten the kindergarten for the destitute blind children, and already a pleasant estate is bought, upon which the buildings, cottages for homos, school rooms, music rooms, libraries, worfc- Budock Blood Bitten vegetable BURDOCK BLOOD BITTERS WILL Purify the Blood.

A QUESTION OP CONTRACT. Springfield Cnlon.) The suit which James A. Williams has brought against the Baltimore St Ohio Railroad at an Seville, to tecover 8136 retained out of his wage ae asaesmente in the compulsory insurance enterprise which the company haa maintained since I860, is one that will have an important bearing on the future of labor contracts. There is a growing tendency on the part of benevolently disposed corporations to help their employees by means of insurance lands, but it is questionable whether they do not largely defeat their own aims by making the benefit compulsory. The courts will probably hold that the employee, In continuing to work for the company after the insurance arrangement bad been announced, accepted that as one of the conditions of the contract.

COMMON SENSE EDUCATION. Philadelphia Times.) There is some consolation for the men whose early advantages were not great in the fact that out of over seven thousand persons examined by tbe Civil-Service Commission daring tbe past year eighty-six per cent, of the successful applicants were educated in tbe common schools, tbe other fourteen per cent, having bad tbe advantage of either complete or partial college training. No knowledge or culture can take the plaoe of native ability and industry, and the conspicuous successes of the day are the men who hewed their own education, faulty though it may be, from the rough blocks kicked to them by poverty and the world. Day and Night During an acute, attack of Bronchitis, a ceaseless tickling in the throat, and an exhausting, dry, hacking cough, afflict the sufferer. Sleep is bauished, and great prostration follows.

This disease is also attended with Hoarseness, and sometimes Loss of Voice. It is liable to become chronic, involve the lungs, and terminate fatally. Ayers Cherry Pectoral affords speedy relief and cure in cases of Bronchitis. It controls tbe disposition to cough, and induces refreshing sleep. I hare been a practicing physician for twenty-four years, and, for the past twelve, have suffered from annual attacks of Bronchitis.

After exhausting all the usual remedies Without Relief, I tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It helped me immediately, and effected a speedy cure. G. Carrollton, Miss. Ayers Cherry Pectoral is decidedly the best remedy, within my knowledge, for chronic Bronchitis, and all lung dieases.

M. A. Bust, 31. South Paris, 3Ie. I was attacked, last winter, with a severe Cold, which, from exposure, grew worse and finally settled on my Lungs, Bv night sweats I was reduced almost to a skeleton.

3Iy Cough was incessant, and I frequently spit blood. 3Iy physician told me to give up business, or 1 would not lire a month. After taking various remedies without relief, I was finally Cured By Using two bottles of Ayers Cherry Pectoral. I am now in perfect health, and able to resume business, after haying been pronounced, incurable with Consumption. S.

P. Henderson, Saulsburgh, Penn. For years I was in a decline. I had weak lungs, and suffered from Bronchitis and Catarrh. Ayers Cherry Pectoral restored me to health, and I have been for a long time comparatively vigorous.

In case of a sndden cold I always resort to the Pectoral, and find speedy relief. Edward E. Curtis, Rutland, Vt. Two years ago I suffered from a severe Bronchitis. The physician attending me became fearful that the disease would terminate in Pneumonia.

Seventh street wLofE Dim Jyttil I a In previous paper I touched upon fruitful cause of the failure in education modern times show. is possible I may have interested some mother or father who has been hopelessly groping.

Not so much that the cause was not apparent as that he coaid not ace a way oat of it. Formerly there was no way except through the doctor, and he in innumerable instances failed, because the disease was not to be reached by medicine. I believe, and my faith is founded on experience, that the majority of nervous difficulties can be more speedily relieved by exercise, properly directed, than by any medicine. Nerve exhaustion is simply a waste of nervous force through undue call, and the remedy is to rest the nerves by bringing healthy blood into every part of the body by hearty muscular exercise so directed that the expenditure of nerve force shall be at its minimum. Could our children, when released from school, he turned loose into barns and sunny fields, or he set adrift on ponds and rivers, and he allowed to romp and play, row, swim and drive, there is little doubt the body would keep in tune.

Since this cannot bo done, a sulmtitute that is more available must he devised, and this substitute should be one that will meet all needs. To those who know of what the modern gymnasium, with modern methods, is capable, there can be no Question that the substitute is at our door. This natural need of exercise has called forth the skating-rink, and has made various games tennis, howling, etc. popular for a time. But, after all, they are amusements, and do not meet the need.

As recreation they are moat delightful. Skating, however, only exercises primarily the same muscles as walking or running, while the muscles of the abdomen and all above the waist receive no material good, excepting as all violent exercise accelerates the action of the lissrt, and, if the air is pure, sends more and better blouJ whirling through the body. Tennis, like all competitive games where the main object is to win, exercises unduly one side cf the body, and is useless as a means of harmonious body-building. Each player, ambitious to heat, uses his best means to accomplish that end. As the coming man, or the amhi-dextrous, has not yet arrived, the majority of are incorrigibly right-handed, so the right hand does the work, and that band and the corresponding side of the body are over-developed, while the unused side becomes weaker by contrast.

Some girls I have measured, who are very fond of tennis, will measure from su inch to an inch and a half more on the right than the left side, measuring from the sternum to the spine. Again, as in all competitive games, there ls'great inducement to play too long at a time, after the muscular force is exhausted. Then again, wa waste nerve force. Do not imagine 1 am not in sympathy with the game. I am, most heartily, with this and most out-of-door sports.

1 am only combating a prevailing belief that they are beneficial body-builders. Though here I will add I am most heartily out of symps'hy with tournaments, where the winners must, in honor, play and play long after they are tired. Bowling is open to the same objections as to body development, betides directly inducing people to indulge in awkward movements. Ladies sometimes find they can make a strike" only by using the largest halls. Of course they cannot deliver them with one hand, nor with the proper muscles so they grasp the monster in both hands, awkwardly before them, run half-way down the alley, throw it with a convulsive effort of the whole body and with a deafening noise; away it speeds to a strike, and all on her aide applaud I I have seen those of the stronger sex indulge in the same awkwardness.

Horseback riding in the ring is monotonous, after one has learned to sit easily, and exercises always the same muscles. This brings us to the gymnasium, which alone la capable of harmonious body development. There is noncompetition in a well ordered one, and, with an intelligent manager at its Lead, has within ita four walls, if properly equipped, the means of developing all the superficial muscles directly, some of the deep-seated muscles, and off the latter by sympathy. The exercises can be adapted, to the individual in special esses, or where only general, healthy development and exercise are required, can be conducted in classes, thus adding social element, and can be largely taken to music. There seems to be born iu us strange delight in working to music, and a wonderful fascination in watching the body swaying in time to its rhythm.

In my use of music I have been severely criticised by one of our prominent professors of gymnastics, but experience only confirms my faith in Its efficacy. Exercise can bo adapted to the needs of the weakest patient able to graduate from massage or preliminary gymnastics, can be graduated to the weakness of the six-year-old child or the strength of the strongest man, can he made continually progressive largely the secret of its fascination can develop the weak points and tone down the over-developed, can correct uneven shoulders and hips and projecting shoulder blades, and can straighten curved spines where these difficulties are caused, as in most cases, by undue development of one set of muscles, while the antagonists are weak and yield to the stronger pressure. Every intelligent worker in a gymnasium will corroborate these points. The gymnasium, properly conducted, is school for body development and training, constantly progressive, constantly supervised, needing time like mental development, and yielding most satisfactory results. Symmetry of form is aa pleasing as a pretty face, and perfect control iff muscle la one of the first requisites of grace.

Exercise is taken In a fitting costums, and followed by bath and rub-down with rough towel. Urns precluding nil chanoeof taking cold. When parents make a firm stand, and insist on mental and physical education going hand in hand, then will the era of nervous prostration and Its attendant ilia go out, and the glorious era of health come in.

It has for a frontispiece drawing of girls head by the famous German painter Franz Defregger, whose portrait and biography appear on other images. J. II. Fallen haa chapter on Fireplaces, which contains number of fine interior views. Basil Champneys writes of the quaint Slyfield manor house in Surrey, which is now shorn of Its size and transformed into a farmhouse; and William Davies, with pen and pencil, describes the upper waters of the river Tiber.

The Romance of Art this month deals with the youth and artistic development of Mans Molbein. S. R. Koehler, the editor, has paper on American Embroideries, in the course of which he remarks, The art of embroidery may perhaps be said to have profited more than any other industrial art by the new movement, and to have attained to degree of importance in the United States which it has not reached elsewhere. For not only has it been lifted up again from the low level into which it had sunk in the era of soft cushions and slipper patterns and brightly colored biblical pictures worked in Berlin worsteds and crost-stitch it baa even outgrown the period of sunflowers and cats' tails, cranes and lilies, and has, once more assumed the position which it occupied in past centuiies, of branch of the tine arts with aims of its own.

The April Eclectic is made up of a melange of interesting articles from the best English sources. There is an article by Mr. E. L.

Godkin on Popular Government, mainly in criticism of Sir Henrj Maine. Mr. John Morley also dresses dewn the bureaucrat, Sir Henry, in the Fortnightly, and the article is copied here. Altogether he has a bad half bonr. That clever bit of writing, The Great Gladstone Myth, by R.

Hamilton Long, finds a place. There are articles on The Babylonians at Home, Torpedo The Scotch Border Land, and other subjects of interest. The Irish Difficulty, a Dialogue of Dreamland, by George Carters Swayne, is copied from Blackwood. A portion of the Gladstone-Huxley controversy is copied from the Nli- eenth Century. There is an appreciative icle on Millais, by Walter Armstrong.

To the Editor of the Transcript It is a pious custrm of the Cathedral ehoir to offer an annual man for the benefit of the souls of deceased members, and usual for them to select a public holiday, because nearly all members of the cheir are workers. Accordingly on the morning of Fnt Day, at nine oclock, solemn high man will be celebrated at the Cathedral and the choir in fall numbers will sing Cherubini's great requiem, which they have been learning for the purpose for some weeks nest.

An opportunity under so good auspices can hat seldom oesur for hearing this wonderful composition, which hu been pronounced by good judges the greatest work of one of the very greatest composers of religious musio. Considering its singular beauties and profound effects, its simplicity is extraordinary, there telng but fevr difficulties to be overcome by singers. The prevailing characteristics are grief and supplication, and it is impossible to sing or listen without ones rrlielous reelings being deeply stirred. Written wholly for chorus, not a note of solo, vi hether vocal or instrumental, is heard, and the voices wail and plead, with occasional contrasts ofwheerfnl nope. The great hymn, ''Dies Iue, is highly dramatic.
