A call has been issued for a meeting of the different societies interested to meet in this borough on Sunday afternoon to make preparations for a proper observance of St Patrick's Day. There has been very little trouble in the last ten or twelve years to make arrangements for St. Patrick's Day parades, for the societies that constitute the parades now have everything pretty well hand, and through a mutual understanding all that is necessary to be done is elect a marshal and assign each society their respective placea in the ranks, is more than forty years ago since tbe Washington Letter. (From our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, D. Feb.

5, 18S0. Tbe Republican party during the past two weeks has demonstrated its brutality, through its accredited organ, the Speaker of the House. There never was a more tyrannical, unfeeling, uncharitable and utterly damable despot upon any throne in any of the darkest ages of the world's history, than Tom Reed, of Maine. When he was on the floor of tbe House, as a leadsr in debate, he always maintained an appearance of fairness and gentleness. Since his elevation to the Speakership, all of the latent meanness of a small minded partisan, has dt f.

Tbe committee called on Mr. Clark, and then went "'Philadelphia, where they saw Mr. Fan-schaw, secretary of the Board of Directors, whom they presented the resolutions of council. The committee had a meeting with Messrs. Clark, Pardee and Blakslee on Saturday last, and there Mr.

Clark stated it was not necessary to enlarge the pipes on Broad street, but the company would pump the water direct from the Mt. Pleasant reservoir, which would give a stronger pressure. Tbe committee still thinks the pipes should be enlarged before the streets are paved. They cannot recommend what material should be used for paving until they have visited other cities, where there are paved streets. The matter was very ably discussed by members of council, who seemed to think that the idea of the water company use the Mt.

Pleasant reservoir for borough purposes only a good one, but that the pipes have been laid so long that there is danger of them Boon giving out. Then, too, the pipes are not large enough to give sufficient supply ot water in case of Mr. Boyle etated there could be no compulsion in this matter, that thejeompany treated the committee very courteously and manifested a desire to help the borough, and would enlarge pipes wherever necessary. Mr. Knf chairman of the special committee, said that those'who are well in formed on the matter, tbmk thai the Belgian block system would be best for our town.

A communication from M. Mack, Philadelphia, in reference to bricks for streets, was resd. Mr. Lauderburn said he thought the first thing to do would be to get the sentiment of the property owners on the Btreets which it is proposed to pave, to whether or not they want the streets paved, and what materials they desired, since the would be expected to pay for the paying of the streets. On motion of Messrs.

M. Miller and Schweppenbeiser, the report was accepted and the committee continued. The secretary stated that In making out certain statistic to be forwarded to the census department he found that there was no annual statement for the year 1887. On motion, the secretary for that year was requested to famish that report for the use of tbe present secretary. On motion, Council adjourned.

Criminal Conrt 5ewi. John O'Britus, a Polander with a to his name, was placed on trial for an aggravated assault and battery on a fellow countryman named Vaschilis. The testimooy showed there had been at Alden a drunken row in which both prosecutor and defendant were roughly bandied, each appearing to be equally at fault. The verdict was net guilty, each to pay one-half the costs. John Conniff, who pros-cuted Officer Schuler, but failed to appear before the grand jury, which put the costs on him, was sentenced and discharged under the insolvent laws.

Thomas Ryan, John Hart, William White and Henry Marsh, four of the gang orsixbuxglars who broke into and robbed the store of J. C. Berner, of Freeland, last November and were captured near Nes-quehoning by Harrison Brelsford, County Detective of Carbon county, pleaded guilty to the charge of breaking and were remanded for sentence. Reports of viewers ef in Ross and Dallas townships were filed and confirmed nisi, the width of the former being fixed at forty feet. Richard Thomas was acquitted and the costs divided between him and bia prosecutor, James Stevens.

Luke Brown, of Plymouth, was called to the defendant's table to answer the serious charge of a felonious assault and battery preferred by Mrs. Buttman, who alleges that in July last he came into her house and making improper overtures to her. attempted to outrage her person. Tbe defendant denied having assaulted Mrs. Butt-man, claiming that he bad been on intimate terms with her and this intimacy being discovered by her husband, Mrs.

Buttman trumped up this charge to protect herself from her husband's anger. The jury found Brown guilty of assault and battery as charged in the second count of the indictment. Tbe last case tried yesterday was that of James Conyard, indicted for felonious wounding, in shooting a young girl named Annie Greeley, at Port Bowkley in September last. A brother of the girl and the defendant were having some words la'e at night after they came finm a ball, and tbe girl stepped between them pushing her brother back, i As she did so. Conyard standing a few feet away, drew his revolver and fired at them, striking the girl in her left arm above the elbow, piercing the arm, which was permanently disabled.

The funeral of Mrs. Anthony Brown was largely attended yesterday morning, many old acquaintances coming from every direction. The funeral moved from the house a little after ten o'clock and the body was taken to St. Gabriel's church, which was across tbe street from tbe residence, where a high mass of requiem was celebrated. Before tbe commencement of mass nearly every pew in the church was occupied.

Father Fitzmaurice was celebrant, assisted by Fathers Cummisfey and Phillips, of Plains. At the close of tbe mass Father Cummiskey read the funeral service and afterwards preached a most pathetic sermon over the remains. He spoke of the good qualities of Mrs. Brown, who when living was never known to say an unkind word about any person, and whose chief object in life was to lead tbe life of a good Christian lady. He also spoke of the sudden and unexpected end of the dear woman, but he knew that through her pure and holy life, that she was ready to meet her maker and be exorted bis hearers to put themselves in the same state of grace, 80 that if tbey should be called suddenly they would be like tbe deceased in whose presence they were, prepared for eternal rest.

The body was taken from tbe church to St. Gabriel's cemetery and was followed by a large concourse of people, many of whem came from a distance, from Pittston, Scran-ton, Wilkes-Barre, Tamaqua and other places.

Here Is one from a epirit sister, Whose life, like a xhadowed stream.

Flowed on so softly, gently. Till it disappeared like a dream. On her lips tbe name of a lover She had not dared to wed. Her life went out of the darkness To a glorious light instead. And here Is one from another The rose at her bridal feast Had scarcely fallen and faded Ere death struck cold at her breast.

When life was fairest and sweetest To yield its rich nectar up; This was the fate that was waiting. This was the bitterest cup. There are letters still more sacred So tender and fond and true I hold them now in reverence. While my eyes are moist with dew. Shall I bum them? Oh, I cannot! Tied up with a sable thread, I shall put them back with the treasures Which whisper yet of the dead.

Smith, Gray Monthly. i first St. Patrick's Day parade took place in this section, and there are yet some old men living in the ne ghborbood who participated that time.

In tbe olden time the parade would form in Hazleton and before it was over the parade would go to Maucb Chunk and return, and it has often been related as fact that the paraders accomplished that trip one year when the snow was more than two feet in depth on the level, and that oxen teams and able-bodied men were put the front bo as to break d)wn the snow. is only within the last couple of years that some of tbe old gentlemen died who participated in these long parades, Con. Kelly, John Gorman, Col. Fitzpatrick, Owen Gorman, Jas. Mooney, William Boyle, and others, and after the parade was over would engage in the dtnee night, showing that tbe young men of forty years ago were hardy and knew very little of fatigue.

In the 'tifties" the length of the parade was shortened, and the cir-cnitwas from Hazleton to Beaver Meadow, Jeanesville, Audenried, back to Hazleton, where tbe parade would be dismissed and then every division would return to their respective towns where a dance was held at night. In the winter of 1864 Ebervale and Har-leigh formed two divisions and joined in with the parade, and they were the first "green men," to come to town as a body from the Side. Tbe next year tbe Ebervale men refused to parade around by Beaver Meadow, and in the vicinity of Lanrel Hill, they turned to come back to town, but were intercepted by the marshals and the men from tbe South Sfde, but after a little wrangling and a few knock downs the Ebervale men triumphed and returned to town with flying colors. That put an eDd to the Beaver Meadow route, and Hazleton ever afterward was made the objective point for St. Patrick's Day parades.

From 1866 to 1870 Hazleton witnessed the largest parades, for then LaUiuier, Milnes-ville, Humboldt, Mt. Pleasant, Stockton and Old Uugarloaf, came in with separate divisions, each having their own captains, flags and music. Each town forming a division of its own made music scarce in tbe region and asbigh as twenty dollars were paid for a filer for that day, the drummers receiving about the same, and the captains often being obliged to go' out of the county for music, the expenses of the musicians would cost ten or fifteen dollars additional. A good fiddler in those days was worth twenty-five dollars for the night and it is often been known where they received as high as thirty dollars. There used to be a great deal of fnn in an old time St.

Patrick's Day parade, and before tbe coal companies bad regular pay days about the mines, iiobody would get money only on the Fourth of July and the Seven teeth of March, and on the latter day nobody won Id get any only those who went to the office with their "greens" on to show that they were going to take part in the parade It has often been told as a good joke, bow tbe men of other nation alities would borrow a St. Patrick's Day regalia and march up to tbe office and dra five dollars so as to celebrate the day. After the formation of tbe Good Will Society and tbe St. Patrick's Beneficial Society in this town the style of the parade was entirely changed, and year alter year it is becoming more so, but it may be said better, for now there is discipline and display even if there is a lack of the enthusiasm of old. During all of these years there was only one St.

Patrick's Day that there was not a general parade and that was tbe 17th of March of the year of the great famine in Ireland. The delegates came to town to make arrangements for the parade but owing to the condition of things thought it better to postpone it for that year, and what money would be spent in getting it up should be sent to Ireland and in lieu of a parade a large ball was held in town and the proceeds sent to Ireland to the sufferers. Since it has beeu kept up regularly. Wathlngton's Mother's Monument. Marion Harland, the friend and helper of women everywhere, has taken up the work of restoring the ruined monument the burial place of tbe mother of Washington.

She says truly in her appeal to the mothers and daughters of America to erect a fitting monument to her who gave our country a father that "tbe sun shines upon no sadder ruin in the length and breadth of our land, than this unfinished structure." On the 17th of May, 183d, an imposing procession through the streets of tbe quiet little ton of Frederick, to "the grounds enclosing tbe- remains of tbe mother of Washington." There were Masonic ceremonies, and prayer, and an oration, responded to by Andrew Jackson, President of tbe United States, who, in concluding his address, laid tha corner-stone of a monument to the memory of her who gave birth to the founder and preserver of the Union." Mrs. Sigourney wrote a poem for this august ceremonial, beginning: "Long bast thou slept unnoted." Tbe monument was left unfinished, and what was constructed has fast gone to decay, and cattle graze about tbe base. Now, then, tbe publishers of the Home Maker, of which Marion Harland is the editor, offer, as their contribution to tbe good cause, seventy five cents out of every annual subscription of two dollars to the magazine, sent in during the next six months. Every such subscription must be marked by tbe words, "For Mary Washington Monument." The offer is generous, and should meet with an enthnsiastic response. Freeland Items.

The people of Freeland and surrounding towns might think that the Tigers' Ath letic Association may be somewhat of the animal nature, but before the close of the base ball season, we will show tbe people of the Lehigh region that they will be tbe stars of this section. While coming from Eckley on Saturday night, four young men of Freeland were attacked by a mob of Italians, and one of the young men was somewhat injured.

His assumption of power is so arbitrary, so exasperating, eo indefencible, that I bave sat in the press gallery and wondeied that they did not tear him down as other tyrants have been dealt with. Tbe bpst speech, tbe most manly protest against this anomalous condition of affairs, came lst week from Mr. Bynum, of Indiana, He a tall, broad shouldered man, with raven black hair, small mous tacbe, flashing black eyes, and eloquent com mac of both voice and language. He is only forty-three yews of age; and they do say out in lndianapi IK that he will fight at the drop of a hat. When he walked down the shaking his fists at the tyrannical Speaker, the Democrats applauded him and fairly made the rafters tremble with their shouts of probation.

Mr. Bynum said "Yi.u, sir, Mr. Speaker, have violated, more than any man on this floor, parlia mentary rules, and parliamentary practice. You may consummate what you have un dertaken to do. You have the power backed by a mob on the floor of this House, This is in keeping with your action when you stole the presidency." The words came forth rapidly, hot from the furnace of most just and righteous indignatior.

The tyrant cooly and sarcastically, like a robber baron of old, backed by an armed mob, ignored and insulted tbe gentleman from Indiana and proceeded with his arbitrary rulings, as though no protest bad been made. But, the people of this great country Are looking on; and it will soon be their turn to settle with the Republican party. When James 6. Blaine said that "With out rules for its government, tbe House would become a mob," be uttered a pre phetic truth. The House Is now without rules, and it is a mob.

The Democrats are shouting themselves hoarse, and the Re publicans hifsiDg themselves into bron cbitis, all day long. The House is a mob, and wholly on account of the effort of the Republicans to get along without rules. In the history of legislation of the civilized world, there is no precendent for sueh con duct. There is only one practicable road out of the present difficulty; a difficulty which seems likely to be insuperable during the entire congress; and that one way cut is, through the Committee on Roles. The Speaker has appointed a committee and it is therefore but jast right that tbe people and their representatives should look to that committee for a solution of tbe par liamentary tangle into which Mr.

Reed has led tbe House. It costs $6,000 every day to pay the expenses of the House. The Republican party is responsible for having wasted two weeks of valuable time, at an expense to the people of $72,000. How long will this sort of thing be permitted to go on People all over the country are looking to this House for legislation on tbe tariff, appropriations, improvements of rivers and harbors, pensions, naval affairs, Indian affairs, public lands, and all other matters affecting the vast republic. But, the people are looking in vain.

The Republican party seems determined to rule or ruin the' country, regardless of all right, justice and common decency. It has always been a party of usurpation and domineering power. Speaker Reed is probably no worse than his peers in thatparty; but he is abler than most of them. The President's receptions have become very tame affairs. During preceding administrations, the people thronged the White House whenever its portals were open to the public.

During this administration the receptions are only attended by Officials wbo deem it necessary to attend; and they bring with them a certain number of friends, of course. But, tbe fact is, tbe Republican administration is not popular with Republicans. The President has ignored tbe wishes of so many leading men in his party, that the rank and file haye begun to look unkindly upon him. The fact is a party made up of the worst elements of society is constantly suspicious to each other, they look askance at their President and see in his every move, something to their own detriment. The Republican party is disintegrating.

Bob. MY BOUQUET. rare, sweet rose, your creamy leaves Enfold a dream of one fair June, That month of violet skies and flowers. When birds and hearts sing but one tune. Your elet petals touch my cheek In mute caress, you do not know That even now your sweet leaves fall Down to my feet, a drift of snow.

They fall as fell my dreams of June, When birds and hearts sang but one tune. 0 pansy, with your baby face, You bring to me forgotten years. 1 smile, but, ah, in human hearts A smile Is so akin to tears. "A thought," ah, yes, a thought of one I knew in days that buried lie, A tender thought, given for the sake Of those dear days, so long gone by, pansy blossom, tender, true. We'll keep that thought, just I and you.

My fair, sweet lily, many a time Our rockiug boats adrift would lie Upon the lake, while, floating there, We watched your sisters bloom and die. "One shall be taken, one be left," His boat has drifted into June, Where living waters cool the land, And pure, white lilies ever bloom. Fair lily, in your waxen cup A dream of love is folded up. Dear flowers, tho' innocent you seem, A whole life's history you conceal In your t9 hearts, but to none else Will you the hidden thoughts reveal. The dew lies thickly on your leaves.

My tears shall mingle with your dew, Twill seal the promise you have made, My secrets shall be safe with you. My life has lost that month of June, Tho1 birds and hearts still sing that tune. A. Jones in St. Paul Pioneer Press.

THE OLD MUSIC BOOK. I turn with silent reverence Its unknown pages o'er; The dusty lines inspire a sense Of something heard before, In days long past, in other lands; Or ancient melodies; Old harpsichords, and gentle hands That touched the ivory keys. The book a hundred fancies wears On every yellow page, Sonatas quaint, forgotten airs, The notes all dim with age. And variations long wove out, And faded songs and old. With trills and turnings all about, And graces manifold.

Perchance In those old bygone days My lady sat and played In broidered stomacher of maize. And flowered blue brocade. Her lissome fingers dancing ran, Through many a florid strain, Until Miss Bell behind her fan Begged "that sweet piece again." Perchance when summer nights were long. And soft winds swept the meadows, Some amorous youth poured out this song To Chloe through the shadows. Or beaux and belles of higher state.

In some well lit pavilion, -Trod graceful through this minuet, Or figured this cotillon. So vagrant fancies through the mind Play fitful now and then. As, with a smile and sigh combined, I close tVe book again. I dare a'jt touch its music old In t'tis rude modern day; Haf awed by fingers long since cold, ind voices passed away. Globe-Democrat.
