Perhaps the United States Senate chamber will never again be the scene of such a touching and. pathetic specta- cle as occurred there on Thursday last, says the Washington Post. As the dramatic critic wouldsay, the situa- tions were startling, the dialogue vivid, and the impressions created of the most lasting nature. The occasion for this bit of pathos was the passage of the resolution providing for the trans- - fer of the Senate spoils from the hands of the Republican vanquished to the hands of the Democratic victors, and instead of the victors making merry, they organized a meeting that verged closely on the lines of a funeral ervice, and the praises of the Republican of- fice-holders who were about to lose their heads were sounded in pseudo- romantic platitudes. From the orations delivered on this highly interesting occasion we are able to infer that the gentlemen who com- pose the majority of the Senate are in no manner responsible for this sad of- ficial transfer. It appears to have been one of those unexplainable visitations of Providence, and there was nothing left for the Democratic Senators but to bow to it and this they did with a display of funeral fireworks that would bring out all the latent'jealousy in apunk burner at a Chinese burial service. In fact it is doubtful if the gloom-ridden Democratic Senators could have been 1Iidueed to enter heartily into last year’s campaign could they have foreseen the result they deplored in such a doleful manner on Thursday afternoon. Doubtless there were some stony- hcarted Senators on the Democratic side like Hon. David B. Hill who didn’t enter heartily into Thursday’s memor- ial services, but on the whole they were a decidedsucccss. There is a suspicion that the distinguished exoa'xman who presided over the obsequies derived much pleasure from the passage of the resolution of decapitation which was so harmoniously supported by the mourners, but-aside from these excep- tions there is no doubt that the grief was deep seated and genuine; While the Senate’s tearful farewell to its em- ployes was touching and pathetic, it is Sincerely hoped that the ceremony will not be generally adopted by officials who are called upon to make political decapitations. Suppose, for instance, Mr. Maxwell, of the Post-office Department, should undertake to throw in a funeral oration with each scalp. It will be rcadil y seen that such a policy would at once clog up the guillotine and. delay the re- formation of the fourth-class post- offices, and probably the very first to complain of this delay would be the Democratic United States Senators. A limited amount of the oratorieal style of official bouncing will supply the demand. In fact, the visible sup- ply is sufficient. -A_-__«-._____ Amusements.

An adjourned meeting of the Court of Burgesses was held last evening, the Warden and a full board being present. The reading of the minutes of the pre- viousmeeting was dispensed with. Burgess Glover then presented the ‘ following resolution .: ‘ Voted, that the Norwalk Trémway- Company is hereby authorized to grade Mill Hill, so called, in this borough, as proposed by said company, and in- dicated by the map- and profile made by Hill, engineer of said company. and on file inthis office, provided said grading shall be done at the expense of said Tramway company, and provided also that said company shall at its own cost and expense, lower the sewer at its ‘ commencement, and the water and gas pipes and their connections, and the said walks, curbs and gutters where necessary, and relay all concrete and other walks and.all curbs and gutters, and settle and pay all claims of property owners to damages, all said work to be done at the expense of said company and to the approval of this court of burgesses. ’ -‘ In presenting the resolution Burgess Glover explained that it was done in the interest of the borough, and for the protection of the tax payers. Burgess Squires also remarked on the resolution, but he was not altogeth- er in favor of its acceptance. Mr. E. J. Hill who was present in the interest of the Tramway company said that he had been a citizen of the borough for forty years, and during that time he had seen several resolu- tions such as the above offered in the court of burgesses, and «would be sorry to see this one prevail. He said that no street railway could afford the ex- pense attached to the resolution; he was present as a ’citizen and claimed the right to disapprove of the accept- ance of the resolution. He then be- came rather personal in his remarks and was called to order by Warden Sloan. He then said that his relatives had fought against the running of the ConSolidated road through this section of Norwalk and had lived to regret it; though there was no use in haggling over a matter that would not cost the borough in excess of 3500, said he had an interest in the taxes of Norwalk more than all of themembers of the court combined, wanted to see the borough benefitted; and said that the road would be built to Roton Point and all surrounding points. He ended by hoping that the resolution would not prevail. . Mr. Mansfield, of the tramway com- pany, remarked on the resolution and said that he confessed surprise that the company was given this “punch in the eye ; ” if you think you can afford to keep us out, 'We'can afford to stay out ; thought the court would err- in passing the resolution; had been connected with this company for over a year, and believe they were sincere in their offers; claimed that something like $100,000 would be spent in town by the company; thought the sentiment of the people was in favor of the road, but now was in doubt ; did not want accident to hap- pen on Mill Hill, as was liable to be the case with the hill at its present grade, even though the company might be liable for such accident; it was the most dangerous point of the whole line surveyed by the company; the Bor- ough. he thought, ought to meet the company half way; felt free to say that the grading of the hill and lower- ing of sidewalks would not cost in ex- cess of $500 ; the company expected to extend its system to New Canaan,West- port, etc., with N orwalk as the grand center ; expressed himself as believmg that if the resolution was passed the board would regret it. - Burgess Glover said that he had been accused of being antagonistic to the tramway company, which was not true; he was in favor of it but thought the Borough interests ought to be pro- tected in the matter; he was of the opinion that the damages would be far in excess of $500, and that property owners would put in claims for dama- ges. ' The original resolution was then passed with but one opposingvote, that Of Burgess Squire. - George Gerrish was present and askedfor grade on Stuart avenue,lights, sewer, etc:, and objected to laying of Elmcrest avenue, in preference to one on Stuart avenue. He was accompan- iedby alarge delegation of the resi- dents of the avenue. N 0 action was taken in the matter. . The following bids were opened for the cleaning of the catch basins as follows : William VanWagner $1.15 each; D. Connolly, $1.15; Roger Mc- Ginnis, $1.10, and the contract on mo- tion of Burgess Squire was awarded to Mr. McGinnis. (The contract was ac~ companied by somévery severe restric- tions.) _ . The matter of placing a catch basin at the corner of School and Chestnut street was presented and the following bids heard : A. Bach, $90; P. W. Bates, $100; William Sheldon, 2690; D. Con- nelly, $85. On motion of Burgeés Mc- Mullen the contract was awarded to Mr. Connelly. A report of the board of relief ac- companied bya bill of $120 was re- ceived but no action was taken in the matter; the report stated that “The board of relief has held thirteen meet- ings, received and considered 260 ap- plications of relief, of which we are 111* formed is more than six times the amount that any previous board of re- lief has found it necessary to do.” ‘.

There was a business session of the New York East conference at 2:30 o’- clock yesterday afternoon, but Bishop Ninde did not preside.

This will not be done until to-day and appointments will not be read in the conference un- til to-night. » At the request of Bishop Ninde, the Rev. Joseph Pullman of New Britain presided at the afternoon session. De- votional exercises were conducted by Rev. C. S. Williams ,of Brooklyn. The principal question, and one that caused a lively debate, was that of Sunday observance at the World’s Fair. The subject was brought up by a re- port of the committee on Sunday ob- servance, in which they express in vig- orous terms their objection to the open- ing of the fair on the Sabbath and. also commend the life and services in behalf of the Sabbath of the late 001. Elliott F. Shepard. The Rev. Dr. Boole sat down on that part of the re- port relating to Colonel Shepard and thought it ought to be expended from the record". The report was finally accepted and it was expressed as the sentiment of the conference that an appeal should be sent to every religious organization in America to help out the movement for Sunday closing of the exposition, and the ignoring of the fair altogether was adv1sed if it remained opened on Sun- aly‘ ‘ A resolution offered by Rev. Dr. John Rhey Thompson passed, prov1ding for the appointment of a committee to provide a series of special» lectures or addresses to be delivered at the next conference.

It is easier to make a reputation than it is to keep it. Just- now this applies especially to the majority of'church choirs. The Easter music with its beauty and enshusiasm has won for each choir a certain amount of reputa- tion, but how about the long succes- sion of uneventful Sundays that fol- low? There is a strong tendency to fall back, but this is neither wise nor right, and though we may not have Easter music every Sunday, a certain ' standard of excellence should be de- cided upon and steadily maintained, remembering that as “eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,” so eternal practice is the price of success in music. Some of the great conservatories of music are introducing a new method of study, and as that has long been advo- cated by the writer of these articles, 71. c. the study of music by learning only- . A small class of pupils is seated at some little distance from the piano, (so-that they cannot see the keys) and while the teacher plays they are ex- pected to analyse the music, giving the key, the mode (major or minor) the tempo, and answering any questions that their instructor may choose to ask, It is a direct and close mental exercise. and is very benificial. ‘ H.
