Hold in thy murmurs,heaven arraigning,

’Tis they who win the father’s grace,
He woundshimself who braves the rod,
And sets himself to fight with God.

Washington Etiquette
_ _ Funnumv'l, 1873.
Emma Rnrunmcm: This morning’s
issue of the "Republican states, in an article
on the “social season in Washington," that
“we. have a society with laws and rules as
inflexible as those of the Modes and Per-
sians; that it is governed by precise rules,
which are laid down and prescribed in the
guide books." Now there are manv so-
journers and residents at the nation's 'capi
tal who have BEVI'I‘ seen, and do not know
where to obtain, those “guide books”—-those
who have the tastes and dispositions to con-
iribute their share to the “general pleasure
or amusement," but. who dare not partici-
pate lest in.th_eir ignorance thcv should
transgress some of-these “infiexiable laws."
They ,do not know, for instance, whether
those weekly receptions, afl'ernoon' and
evening, held by the ladies of the Cabinet,
Senators, Representatives, judges and civi-
~ lians are open to any who may wish to call,
orwhether an.introduction by some one
having the entree of those houses is neces-
sary. They do not alwavs know who
should make- the first call on Senators’
families and others who are temporary resi-
dents bere. They do not know under what
circumstances they may call on the British
and other foreign Ministers, who are more
observant of the rules of etiquette than
Americans. There are numerous other
points pertaining to the etiquette of' Wash—
ington upon which they need information
and fearing to offend, “either in word 0iz
deed." they remain quietly at home, waiting
and hoping to be eolightend at the earliest
moment by one who knows. .
Very truly, C.,M. '

Theabove letter contains inquiries for in

FINANCIAL FINESSE.
There is an unwritten chapter in the po-
litical and financial history of forty years
ago, that is worth being piabed on record-
and there is no better place for it than in
the CommreialBulIettn. The facts of the
affair us here related, were given to the
writer by a distinguished member of the
Democratic party, at least thirty years ago;
but confidentially. It is believed they on
substantially true, and no harm or mscliief
can result from their publication at so re-
mote a day as this. The story gives an in-
sight/into the reckless plans and daring
schemes which underlie so much of political
and party machinery,without ever being
suspected by the dear, confiding people.
Inasmuch as few of those who have come
upon the stage during the last thirty years
are at all informed of the early history of
parties, it may not be uninteresting to relate
the influences which led to the desperate
and reckless scheme we are about to re-
count. Upon the retirement of.President
Monroe from ofiice,tbe whole country be-
came convulsod with a violence of political
-excitement and uproar, of which the present
generation can have no conception. Frotn

suddenly plunged into a confused melee,
that finally intensified into a fierce and bit.

room for honesty or fair dealing. In tht
Presidential struggle which followed, tht

thus thrown into the House of Representa-
tives—the result being the election of Joht

Henry Clay. This decided-the main issue.
for the time ; but it by no means cooled ll't
ardor or tempered the bitterness of the de~
feated. Indeed, the. contest raged more hot-
ly than before ; and this continued until tht
election of Gen. Jackson in 1828. 4
‘ The commanders and generals who had
planned the campaign, manusuvered tbt
force's, devised the strategy, and won tht
victOry for the Jackson party, were men of
shrewd and cunning minds, and far-seeing
judgment. The field being fully won. they
did not sit down, fold their' hands, regnlt
themselves upon the fruits of success. They
set about making it permanent. Many plans
were devised, and generally carried out, b_\
the aid of Gen. Jackson‘s overwhelming
popularity. One of these was to get con-
trol of the then United States bank,for the aid

An Important Decision.
Whether, under any circumstances, a par-
ty has power to break open a letter address-
ed to another has just been decided adverse-
ly in an Ohio court. The case which came
before the court was as iollpws: It appears
that one Nolan, having a grudge against
Mr. Alfred Davis, of TuscaWaras county,
Ohio, took occasion to vent his spite upon
the latter by poisoning his horse. As this
offence is severely punished by the laws of
Ohio, and Nelao being apprised that he was
suspected. fled to parts unknown. Davis
_ 'made an agreement with the postmaster at
Mineral Point that he should intercept any
. letter which he should suspect as having
come from the accused; a constable, also,
who was to have arrested Nolan, being in
the scheme. Sometime afterward a letter
addressed 10 Nolan’s son Was suspected as
having been written by the old man. Da-'
via and the constable were at once notified,
_ and the letter was handed to the constable
to be broken open. Seeing he was about to
tear it open, the postmaster suggested the
he could open it in a better manner, and i
was handed to him, and he ran his knife
under the folding of the envelope and
pryed it open. Meanwhile, young Nolan
came in and demanded the letter, which
was refused him until read; The constable
went to the neighborhood designated by the
letter and arrested Nolan. - -

been tried, Judge Stoneman the presiding

Many a discouraged mother folds her tired

your husband feels “safe” when he is away

As a broker, Clark quietly gathered and
boarded ' Savannah branch notes as they
came along, or as he could secure them
without suspicion in the regular course of
business.
But there was another chapter-which was
forgotten or unknown to Clark, but wh’cli
came, into the story and gave it the finish-
ing touches ; and that was the inexorablt ,
laws of financial tides, and the system 0
business pursued by the mother bank of
Philadelphia in dealing with its branches-
not omitting Nicholas Biddle, Prrsident ot
the mother bank—familiarly known in tin
strategy of that notable war as “Old Nick.”
This important consideration seems not it
have been fully studied nor comprehended
by the New York broker, nor the politieal,
field marshals in Washington. From .tbt
Revolution up to the days of which w:
write,neither money nor fame were sufiicieit
to secure men in places of high trust and It-
snonsibility. Integrity, experience anr'
brains wore the essentials for such honors.

While broker Clark was mousing arount’

olas Biddle sat on his golden throne in tht-
bank parlor at Philadelphia—
“Calui as a summer’s morning.”

Ofcourse, “Old Nick" was constantly 0n
the alert tor his cunning and powerful foes.
Likoa spider in the center of his net, he
watched shaply to see where and how it was
threatened. Studying over the usual week-
ly returns one day, he observed this in the
returns from one branch :
“We return you less than our average of
Savannah branch notes.”
This was not - calculated to arrest any
special attention. ' But the next week two
branch returns said— - _
“Our return, this week, shows .less than
the average of Savannah branch notes."
It may be supposed that Nicholas Biddle
turned his eye-glasses upon this second
warning with curious interests, and when
the next week—and the succeeding week—
~tud every week—the steady, wholesale dis-
appearance of Savannah branch notes from
circulation was thus proved, we fincy we
see Nicholas Biddle place the right digit

storm coming from all quarters.’ Just what
it all meant, he could only guess; but he
hit the truth. So, keeping his own counsel,
he quietly~ shipped two hundred thousand
.loilars oi specie to the Savannah Branch—-
with a letter to the president—who was
directed to‘keep his eyes wide open, and his
mouth close shut. Meanwhile, Broker
Clark was “gathering lllt-lll in" and chuck-
ling over the success and secrecy of his
labors. What he did he meant should be

the Savannah Branch, he intended to suufi'
it all out, sure; and so he made no undue
haste, dud took no perilous risk—not he. -

One line, sunny day, at a 'time of the year
unknown to this deponent—only all sunny

strange gentleman entered the quiet office
it the U. S. Branch Bank in Savannah, and
inquired for the President—an occurrence
not unusual. Coming into the presence of
the great man of the bank, the stranger in-
troduced himself as “Mr. Clark, of New '
York." Mr. President courteously clasped
the hand of Mr. Clark, who reciprocated.
“cats were now taken, and the first general
chat of such meetings ensued. At last.
something like the following took place :
“Mr. President, I am a broker, and have
some of your notes, for which I want the
specie.” . ' '
“Certainly, Mr. Clark.
have you i”
“Well, perhaps I have more than you
inticipute."
"Why, what sum is it. ?”
“Very much larger than you usually have
r.
This catches the ear of Mr. President. who
recalls “Old Nick‘s” lettel‘ of instructions.
Mr. President, with a bland smile, remarks:
“We shall be most happy to give you the
specie, whatever the amount, Mr. Clark."
It is Mr. Clark’s turn, now,to indulge. in
tsoft inward smile. How little does the
President dream of the crushing bundle ‘of
Savannah notes now impending over the
loomed bank! With a nonchalence, which
nily a broker canput on, Mr. Clark finally
replies to Mr. President’s inquiry :
“One hundred and seventytiwee thousand
lollars."
Strange, to Mr. Clark, the President never
.vinces. With a look of \some surprise, he.

“Oh, certainly. Cashier l”

"That is my lookout, sir." '
“0h, very well. I beg your pardon. Give
iim the specie, Mr. Cashier.”

Smilingly the polite cashier receives Mr.
Jlark’s pile of notes—counts them—an-
nounces the amount correct, and returning

IOW they roll out—the memorandum clerk
.zalling out in a clear voice—“Five thou-
:and”4-“ten thcusand"—.-“fifteen thousand"
—“twenty thousaitd”—“twenty five thou-
~and,” and yet steadily the kegs rolled out,
nd the clerk called aloud the accumulating
specie.
At first, Mr. Clark, broker from New
York, admired the cool and easy way in
.vhich the President played his “bluff,” for
in his heart, Mr. Clark was sure it was sheer
.ilufi‘. There could not he fifteen thousand
lollars of specie in that bank, by any possi-
And so, when the president, after
tis directions to the cashier, commenced a
main] chat on general topics, Mr. Clark re-
sponded. No sign was made by either
which indicated the real thoughts of each.
Clark was sure he had Mr. President foul
-and Mr. President knew Mr. Clark was
topelessly his victim.
“Twenty-five thousand I” called the mem:
irandum clerk.
Mr. Clark talked, batik was greatly sur-
prised, inwardly.
“Forty-five thousand 1"
Mr. Clark’s talk was not so easy: He was
i little—or rather a good deal—disturbed.
Perhaps those kegs did not hold specie. He
.lidti’t believe they did. It was a ruse of
some kind. But there was an astounding
III‘ of matter-of fact business. in the way
those kegs rolled out, and in the ominous
voice that announced,“Sixty-five thousand."
And it .was provoking to see the sweet
serenity which sst upon the face ofthc chat-
ty president. He paid no mere attention to
those‘kegs than as if they had been paving
stones.
A STAGGERING DISCHARGE. , .
“‘Seventy-five thousand l" “eighty thou

dream ofcrusliiug kegs was still rolling out.
Clark,broker from New York, could hold
in no longer. Those kegs might not con-

.vanted to break the bank, not specie And

“Mr. President,” Clark broke in upon that
ofilcial’s opinion of the probable cotton
crop, "on the whole, I don't know but that
I might as well take a draft on New York."
The gleam in the President's eye told Mr.
Broker Clark that he was a victim beyond
peradventure.
and you declined them. The fact is I am
very much obliged to you for taking so
much time, and spending so much money
as you must have done, to bring all these
notes down here for the specie. It is just
what I wanted, and you have come just in
the nich of time, to pay for the risk and in-
surance of getting that specie to New York 3

TOTAL nits-nu.
“One hundred and twenty-five thousand,"
said thevvoice. ’
And so Clark, the New York broker, so
. brave~an hour before. now went all to
pieces. He just begged for terms. and the
President, retaining only as much specie as
he wanted, giving Clark just as much in
.cier oil with his heavy kegs and scarcely
less heavy heart.
It is believed that no farther efforts were
made to break the United States Bank in a
like manner after the return of Clark from
Savannah. and that he never boasted own
that trip, even to his employers in the dirty
work—Boston Commercial Bulletin.

- 'I‘hc Massacre of Church Music.
BY REV. T. DE Wl’l‘T TALMAGI.
There has been an effort made for the
last twenty years to kill congregationan
singing. The attempt has been tolerably
successful; but it seems to me that some
rules might be given by which the work
could he'done more quickly‘ and complete-
ly. What is the use of having it lingering
on in this uncertain way f Why not put it
out of its misery ? If you are going to kill
a snake, kill it thoroughly, and do not let
it keep on wagging its tail till sundown.
Congregational'singingisa nuisance, any-
how, to many ofthc people. It interferes
with their comfort. It offends their taste.
It disposes their nose tb fl:xibility.in the
upward direction. It is too democratic in
its tendency. Down with congregational
singing, and let us have no more ofit.
The first rule for killing it is to have only
such tune: as thump]: can. not sing.
In some churches it is the custom for
choirs at each servi to sing one tune which
the peeple know. his very generous of
the choir to’do that. The people ought to
be very thankful it‘or the donation. They
do not deserve it. They are all “miserable
offenders," (I heard them say so,) and, if
permitted once in a service to sing, ought to
think themselves highly favored. But I
oppose this singing of even the one. tune
that the people understated. lt spoils them.
,It gets them hankering after more. . Total
abstinence is the only safety ;' for, if you
allow them to imbibe at all, they will after
a while get in the habit of drinking too much
of it, and the first thing you know they will
be going around drunk on sacred psalmody.
Besides that, if you let them sing one tuni-
at a service, they will be putting their oar
‘ into the other tunes and bothering the choir.
There is nothing more annoying to the choir
than, at some moment when they have
drawn out a note to exquisite fineness, thin
as a split hair, to have some blundering
elder to come in with a “Praise ye the
L‘W‘" T‘s-l abstinence, I say! Let all
the chutcbes take Ille'yludaa even against

Hook and old Burgundy.
Now, ifall the tunes are Inew, there will
be no temptation to the people. They will
not keep humming along,_hoping that they
will find some bars down where they can
break, into the clover pasture. They will
take the tune as an inextrietihle conundrum.
and give it up. Besides that,Pisgah, Orton-
ville, and Brattle Street are old-fashioned.
They did very well in their day. Out
fathers Were simple minded people, and the
tunes fitted them. But our fathers are gone,
and they ought to have taken their baggagt'
with them. it is a nuisance to have those
old tunes floating around the church, and
some time,’just as we have got the music
as fine as an opera, to have a revival of re-
l gion come, and somehow-born soul break
out in “Rock of ., get Cleft for file I” till the
organist stamps the pedal with indignation
and the leader (if the tune gets, ted in lht
face and swears. Certainly. anything 1th
makes a man swear is wrong—ergo, con-
gregational singing is wrong. Quad era!
demommmdttm ; which being translated
means Plain as the nose on a man’s face.
What right have people to sing who know
nothing about rhythmics, melodies, dyna-
mics? The old tunesought to be-ashamed
of themselves when compared with our
modern beauties. Let Dundee and Portu-
guese Hymn and Silver Street' hide their
heads beside what we heard not long ago

The organ began, and the choir sang, as
near as I could understand, as follows :—
Oti—aw—geeébah
Ah—me—la—he‘

My wife, seated beside me, did not like
the music. Butl said: “What beautihil
sentiment! My dear it is a pastoral. You
might have known that from ‘Whthagw-
gee !’ You have had your taste ruined by
attending the Brooklyn Tabernacle." The
choir repeated the last line of the hymn
four times. Then the prima donna leaped
on to the first line, and slipped, and fell on
to the, second, and that broke and let her
through into the third. The other voices

looked back to set: if she had fainted; but
found her reclining in the arms of a young

- But, if the prescription of new times does
not end congregational singing, I have
another suggestion. Get an irreligious
choir, and put them in a high balcony back

are made up chiefly of religious people; or
those, at least, respectful for sacred things.
