Ltw Stocks. Why stock values should take the par ticularly hard tumbles they are new experiencing, after the steady fall they have endured for the past year or two, is net very clear. It shows, however, that the public are net Inclined at pre sent te this sort of speculation. It has 1)een for a long time se unprofitable that capital has been drawn away from it as an unattractive field for its use. Thbie is nothing in the condition of the country te cause the opinion that its industries will cease for any long period te be profitable. The business of seeking a pro pre lit without industry, by false pretences, has for the present received a quietus. The projectors of railroad enterprise, who proposed te bnild with ether pee pie's money what the country did net need, that they might reap a profit from the project, are net new possessed of the idea that they possess an Aladdin lamp. Mr. Vanderbilt, who has the cash already gathered, is industriously ex pending it in vast railroad enterprises in this state which will pay some day and which be can safely undertake te the extent that he has the money en hand te pay for them. But neither he nor any ether fellow can hope te be lavishly sup plied with funds by a once confiding public, which confides no longer " worth a cent." The future has been discounted as much as it can be for a few years. Stock values will probably continue te fall te a point even below their rea.1 value, in the existing distrust that they have any value at all. Same of these days they will go up again higher than ever. In the future they may be worth all that anyone has ever paid for them. But the future is net the present ; and te the sanguine man who has lest all his money in antici pating future values it will be little comfort te find out, if he lives leDg enough, that he was right in his hope fulness, and only wrong in staking his money en it. The public generally, who have been speculating in, stocks get this experience some time age, and new it is being chiefly enjoyed by the men who gave it te them. Tlie lambs having been slaughtered, the wolves are new suffering hunger ; and it leeks as though there would be plenty of them starved te death en Wall street before another crop of lamb3 is ready te be eaten by them. The Year's Results. A year age when the state candidates of the Democratic party and the repre sentatives of its organization visited the northern tier of counties, te discuss the issues of Pennsylvania politics before the people of the state, they were confronted with the declaration of the opposition that Democratic success in the election of 1882 meant disaster te the material interests of the commonwealth. In Bradford the Republican candidate for governor had declared that were Mr. Fattisen elected governor, the price of oil would shnnk te 50 cents a barrel, and net a ten of coal would ever be hauled across the great Kinzua viaduct, then bailding Dawn in Fulton county he had Baid that the construction of a rail read through that region would never be practicable except under Republican ad ministration. Frem east te west, as well as from north te south, the adve cates of Gan. B9aver's election and of the cau39 of his colleagues en the ticket) made proclamation of impending danger te the productive industries of the state in the event of Democratic success. rne elections came ana went, uy a plurality of 40,000 and by the poll of sub stantially as many Democratic votes as both the Republican tickets combined received, a Democratic administration was seated in the executive department at Harrisburg, the popular branch of the General Assembly was placed in the con trel of the Democracy and the strength of that party increased in the Senate, while Pennsylvania contributed a fair share te the Democratic majority about te come into control of the Heuse of Representatives at Washington. Mere than seven months of this state administration have passed and the lower Heuse of the federal Congress is seen te be organized with a Fennsylva nla speaker, and upon a basis in accord with the declarations of the last Demo cratic platform of Pennsylvania. And yet no blight has fallen upon Pennsylva nia, no apprehension is manifested by the most sensitive of her industries, and no danger seen or unseen threatens any- tning tnat manes ter ner material or moral welfare. Leng trains laden with coal travel daily ever the high bridge at Kinzua; the dream of the petroleum producer has been realized in " dollar oil," and the whole southern tier of counties from Fulton te Fayette is te be traversed before the close of Gov. Fat tisen's administration with a new line of railroad, developing the resources and adding te the wealth of Pennsylvania Her moral exaltation in the sisterhood of states has been notable. The lobby has found its occupation gene in the legisla tive balls; the shivering placemen no longer divide the spoils of patronage, and the office of the pardon broker is closed. In these seven months the cal cium light of public criticism has beaten bright upon the experiment of Demo cratic administration in Fennsylvania ; and the party that is responsible for it shrinks from no discussion and investi gation of the results On the contrary, it boldly challenges it and will held the campaign te the issues of closest concern te the people of the state. The false pretenses upon which the Republican party sought te maintain the power it had abused for mere than twenty years are fully exposed. Any attempt te pervert the issues sf the pres ent campaign will be as inconsequential as it is irrelevant. The positive refusal of theRepublican Senate te confer with the Democratic Heuse, te the end that apportionment bills may be agreed upon, being clearly demonstrated, it is time that the Heuse should agree te an adjournment, and this it will no doubt new de. The strenuous effort made by the Democratic legislators J' te secure an apportionment places, the responsibility of the failure te de se upon the Republican7 party in a way in which it cannot be get rid or. The emphasis which Senater Stewart has given te this Republican position by declaring that bis party had, at the outset of the legislative session, presented its "ultimatum" in the matter of appor tionment, will render it impossible for it te wiggle away from the attitude, which it has thus rashly assumed, that it was net called upon te show a disposition te compromise in order that the censtitu tienal mandate requiring the apportion ment of the state by the Legislature should be obeyed. It will get te be a very het position te held during th campaign, and the party maintaining it will be badly burned by it, we think. Again the physicians have abandoned all hopes of Count deCharaberd'H recovery. Heavy obituary editorials will be in order very boeu. It is a curious fact about suicides that immediately before shuffling off this mor tal coil they are always in a c.beerful frame of mind. TnE Republicans iu the SeiKite have refused all conference, an3 will take their ultimatum or nothing. New that the re cord is clearly made up the Democratic party may supinely await the ultimatum of the people. Anetuek tinder box, the Deven lav, has gene up in smoke. Again the warn ing voice is raised anent frame hotels and lack of fire escapes, and again the wise man'B monition is treated with d'.-da.ii. Se runs the world away. Tub sad suicide of Senater Al. e 'a wife is softened by the knowledge that it was net deliberate, but resulted from mental derangement. Many in humble circumstances complain that none but the wealthy enjoy life, while the newspapers of the day fairly bristle with the suicides of these enjoying affluence. Wealth can net minister te a mind diseased, and in the mad struggle for riches this fact should net be forgetteu. Toe many have made the accumulation of money the one absorb in thought, allowing the heart te become petrified te domestic joys, and the hallow ed influences of home have in consequence ceased te be petfut. Wealth and honors are geed things,hut a sturdy constitution, clear conscience and hopeful spirit will make their possessor far happier. TnE heads of departments in Washing ten de net seem disposed te give the civil service commissioners much aid in the inauguration of their system. Secretary Lincoln is reaming through the Yellow stone region, while the commission vainly watches for his return te cheese from a number who have passed the examination ordeal sem miner clerks in the war de partment. Secretary Teller, of the inte rior department, also adds his mite te increase their embarrassment. He hole's that as the word male is used only in the law authorizing civil service examinations it applies only te men, and that he has the right te appoint women clerks as he desires without requiring them te pass a competent or civil service examination. The commissioners are heartsick ever the treatment they have received. Great is civil service reform. After all, although it has proven ex ceedingly impotent, se far as the present condition of the country is concern ed, the recent outbreak in Spain, whieh took upon it many of the character istics of a formidable revolution, has become an occurrence worthy of serious consideration. Net without reason and as much with justness the uprising of the Egyptians under the leadership of Arabi Pasha was considered as the earnest, though unsuccessful, attempt of a people te cast from them the despotic aud abhorred sway of a potent nation whose axioms of government as rugards the acquisition and retention of tcrikery are founded en the oppression of the taxpayer aud the belch ing of cannon ; and equally as well is the commotion in Spain, which iu but an echo of all oppressed Europe, an actieu which tends strongly te demonstrate the dissatis faction of the populace with unscrupnleus rule. Certainly the government of Spain is net exceedingly, if very markedly, severe, and its tulers are in no small de gree interested in the condition of then subjects. But the course of events iu the old world are tee well outlined te deceive t.hn nhRPirvincr. who have lit tin iliffinnlf.v in j: . i i !..:.. t.:.i. exieuug nuiu uw iiueu cuuuuce ui ivuiuua te the sunny countries of Southern Europe, where chivalric spirits chafe under the practice of wrong and long for the moment of their deliverance. The divine rights and puissance of kings, se strenuously maintained by Carlyle, are but the rem. nants of a dark and deluded superst-'tieus era, which must fall ere long before the advance of the genial and ameliorating influences of an enlightened age and a manlier civilization. FEATURES OF THE STATE FAESS. The Norristown Heiald would like te see a return te simpler methods in taking the census of 1890. The Harrisburg Independent thinks the people will in future assume the bossing of political parties. The Harrisburg Patriot calls en the Legislature te adjourn or the Philadelphia limes will be obliged te buy a new outfit of leads. " The time has come," says the Wilkes barre Union Leader, "te close the extra session, and let the Republicans take tbe responsibility for their ultimatum." The Reading Times would like te see tree planting encouraged in the states by a system of premiums, taking the shape of tax remissions. The Alteena Times prays te be delivered from the importunities of these who hav ing been guilty of a misdemeanor, desire te have its publication suppressed. That Mr. Powell " will be far stronger than his party, especially in tbe northern tier," is the cheering belief of the Erie Observer. "Taggartand Powell, a ticket nemina ted by the people ; Niles and Livsey, a ticket Blated by the bosses," is the terse summing up of the Montrese Democrat. The Reading Herald thinks ' that ' the blessings ascribed te protective tariff in T this country an properly attributable te the use of the unpretending watermelon. The Pittsburg Pett wants every parlia mentary resource te agree upon an apper tienment exhausted by the Democrats of the Legislature before they of adjourn ment. ' TheHazletenPatn Speaker wants the Democrats in the Legislature te vote for adjournment, it having been sufficiently demenstialed that the Republicans de net want an apportionment. FEBSONAIi. Mb.

The whirlpool rapids of Niagara have been visited by Captain J. D. Rhodes, a noted swimmer and diver of Salamanca, who will attempt, in a suit of his own making, te go through the rapids where Captain Webb perished. The day after the last tragedy Rhodes informed his wife and a few friends that he had determined te p-eve himself a better swimmer than Webb, and te swim the whirlpool after exactly the same plans followed by Webb. Fer two weeks he has been at work preparing au armor te protect him self from the concussions of the opposing currents. The armor is made of pieces of cork one and a half inches long and seven-eighths wide. The body part reaches from the armpits te the leg above the knee. A cape secured te a belt above the waist by twelve rubber straps fastens around the neck and, reaching te the bands, covers the arms and shoulders from the thigh te the neck. The armor is air tight and very strong. Rhodes asserts that besides giving a buoyancy of seventy-two pounds in she water, the armor will protect him from sudden shocks among tbe big waves. Captain Rhodes was born in Menree, Mich., forty-one years age. He served thiee years in the late war, and for fifteen years has been a leader of theatrical bauds. Iu September, 1877, he dove into Niagara rsver from the bridge below the falls lour 1 times. In October, 1877, he dove dove feet at Portage falls. In August, 1876, he leaped from the light house at Ashtaula in a storm. He claims that Captain Webb was choked by the water and then pounded te death by the waves. TfUKD OF TUB STRIKE. Telegraphists Betarnleg te Their Key at many llacea. Philadelphia Times. Sisk and Swan, Philadelphia telegraph strikers, returned te work yesterday at the main office of the Western Union oempany. Twe striking operators from the Seuth are expected te resume work in this city this morning. Twe Philadelphia operators were dispatched te Pittsburg, the weakest point in this district, last night. Superintendent Zeublin returned from Washington last evening and reports the full quota of operators at work at that office. The private wires operated by the brokers were reported cut yesterday be tween this city and New Yerk. Master Workman Laverty yesterday received a telegram from New Yerk stating that .the Western Union officials admitted their helpless condition. Anether from Balti more claimed the capture of five operators from the Western Union in that city. Superintendent Zeublin denies any de fection in the Baltimore office. Uenfereaee or ArohDIttaeps.

Seed Lear, siiaatra and Harana ter the Week Ending; Saturday, Aujant 11, 10 A. n. (J. 8. Tobacco Journal. The eud of the lockout had a .favorable effect upon the market, and though trans actions were limited general geed feeling and hopefulness prevailed. A number of large up town manufacturers maae inspec tion tours through the market. Their chief inquiries were for '83 Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Of the former very little is te be had, and that which is te be obtained is mostly of inferior grades, the best lets having left the market and passed into manufacturers' hands; cense quently '82 Wew Yerk state was inspected with mero care than formerly and sales of about 500 cases were reported. This te bacce (speaking of tbe finer grades) was bought at such high figures from the growers that, if the prices said te have been obtained this week are correct, little or no profit has been left te the sellers. Tbe low figures at which '82 Pennsylvania wa3 secured when green, and its satisfac tory condition at present, have checked all possibility for a realization of profit en the high priced grades of '82 New Yerk state tobacco. Fer Sumata an improvement was also noticeable this week. Still prices remain almost unchanged. Fer medium dark goods $1,25 is about the average figure obtainable, while extra silky, sound and dark material brings from $1.30 te $1 50 in lets. The sales for the week were : New Yerk state, crop '82, 500 cases, 15 te 17 eents. Pennsylvania, crop '82, 300, at 17 cents Wisconsin, '82, 250 cases, low grades, at 9 te lOi cents. Ohiej crop '82, 300 cases, at 4 te 9 cents. Sumatra, sales, 150 bales at $1.05 te $1.50 Havana, market remaining dull. Total sales, 400 bales, at 85 cents te $1 for low aud medium, and $1.15 te $1.30 for fine aud extra fine. The circle for investments in fine seed leaf in large lets has narrowed down te '82 Pennsylvania, '82 New Yerk state and a very small portion of the '82 Ohie. With the exception of some stray packings, the '82 Connecticut has sunk into tbe category of material for $15 te $20 cigars. These undeniable facts must fill holders of '82 Pennsylvania with a feeling of supreme satisfaction. Their ehances for the realization of a handsome profit are exceedingly bright. It is well te mention here that holders of this crop have reason te be extraordinarily cautious in the se lection of proper storage room. Fer sev eral years past Pennsylvania has shown itself exceedingly sensitive te changes of the weather from warm te cold, frequent ly resulting in a total transformation from geed te bad. Toe little attention has been paid te this fact. The storage facilities are crude ; the tobacco se carefully nursed and tended te till packed in eases, is gen orally thereafter left te the mercy of the weather. Why net apply mero care, then, and why net see when the warm days have passed that a soft temperature is kept up in storage rooms? Heed our ad vice ; hire live people te attend te your tobacco storage rooms, aud we predict that no longer a leaf that looked rich and juicy, that felt soft and silky te the touch, one day, will, en the next, turn coarse, dry and shrivelled dead in reality. The Philadelphia Market. l.eat. Seed Leaf A considerable let of leaf, old and new, has been moved the past week into the hands of dealers and cigar manufacturers, who are new busy examin ing new samples of '82 tobacco, which is net yet in proper condition. Prices se far obtained appear te meet the views of both holder and buyer. Examinations of :81 tobacco confirm the outspoken opinion of holders that it would take the lead after passing through the second summer's het weather. Sumatra finds favor in sales among its admirers. Havana sells freely if quality is shown. Receipts for the week : 573 cases Con necticut, 719 cases Pennsylvania, 80 cases Ohie, 166 cases Wisconsin, 55 cases Yerk state seed, 37 bales Sumatra, 167 bales Havana, and 461 hhds Virginia aud West ern leaf tobacco. Sales have been : 370 cases Connecticut. 60 cases Pennsylvania, 42 cases Ohie, 97 cases Wisconsin, 37 cases Yerk state seed, 29 bales Sumatra, 88 bales Havana and 61 hhds Western leaf in transit direet te manufacturers. Exported of leaf tobacco : Te Liver pool via star, 169,327 lbs ; te West Indies, 1,219 de ; total, 170,540 de. Lecal Tobacco Market. A few hundred cases of '80 and '81 leaf changed hands during the week, en private terms. The packers of '82 have commenced sampling, and as far as this important process has gene the result is eminently satisfactory. Wm. Shultze, agent for Rosenwald, had ever 1,000 cases sampled last week, and it is pronounced very fine. Other packers, who have net as yet Lad se large a quantity sampled, say that what has come under the eyes of the sampler is of very superior quality being entirely free from white veiu and et a rich dark color. A few purchases of loose '82 leaf are re ported. The following lets were bought by David G. Hirsh, of this city : 1 acre of Sylvester Williams, Black Herse, at 13, 6, 2 ; 1 from Peter Hershey, Sadsbury township, 14, 6, 2 ; 1J from Nelsen Scott, Gap, 16, 4, 2 ; 1 from L. Jerdan, Chris tiana, 10, a ; l from M. Hene. Willow Street, 8, 2 ; 1 from Gerry Miller, New Helland, 12, 2 ; 1 from C. West, Bird-in-Hand, 10, 2 ; 4$ from Jehn S. Rehrer, Gap, 12, C, 2 ; 1 from Wm. Beninsger, New Helland, 11, 2. The growing crop cannot be regarded as first class. A geed deal of the best of the early planted was cut te pieces by hail, just before it was ready for housing. The plantings that were small at the time of the hailstorm, have pretty nearly recev ered from the damage they sustained, but in many sections it is complained that the leaves are " leathery," and in low lands mueh affected by rust and fox. The same conditions are said te prevail ia the lower end of Yerk county. A fair proportion of the crop has been cut off and housed, a still larger pro portion has been topped, but there are yet many late plantings that have net been even thus far advanced. Frem our present knowledge of the crop as a whole we should say it will net produce mere than two-thirds as much as the crop of '82, and that mueh of it will be of inferior quality. It has the advantage, however, of being clean, being almost exempt from flea or worm holes. The State Fair l'ostpened. The announcement has been made by the officers of the state agricultural society at Harrisburg that no state fair will be held this year at Philadelphia as intended. It was thought that when the land of Mr. Whightman, in Philadelphia, was leased this spring, that there would be ample time in which te erect buildings that would prove substantial enough te net only last through tbe ten years lease, but even after that. It is proposed te put up iron puildings, but it will be imDeesible te complete them in time for this year, and se it has been agreed upon te nostnene the exhibition until 1884, when the new grounds will be fenced in and the new buildings completed.

What the Ironsides club needs is an ad ditional battery, se tbat Sixsmith and Hofferd can have a rest at times. They would then have a full nine, and while one battery is at work the two could play iu the field and have ample chance for rest.

Au ex quisite lyre, composed of brilliant cut flowers and standing upon a floral pedes tal two or three feet in height, occupied a space en the front centre of the stage. Iu a niche te the right of the stage was placed a large floral harp and above it bung a large ball of beautiful flowers and ornamental grasses. Iu a niche te the left of the stage was placed a large floral star and above it was bung a fler.il ball like that iu the right hand niche. Hanging ever the frect of the gallery were nearly a dozen flags and banners be longing te the visiting societies, some of them being elegantly embroidered iu the finest needle work. An opening chorus was sung by the Lancaster Mamnercber, numbering about 25 voices, with a full orchestral aocempani ment by the Mamnercher orchestra com prising 32 Instruments. The music was admirably rendered and warmly eucered. Mr. Henry Wolf, chairman of the com mittee of arrangements, then introduced te the audience Mr. Henry Gerhard, presi dent of the Lancaster Mamnercher, who, in a brief speech, in German, welcomed tbe singing societies te the festival in the following words, as translated : "Honored guests and singers : I welcome you all in the name of the Lancaster Mam nercher, yes, you are heartily welcome, every one et you, te this our 25th anniver sary and dedication of our new hall. "Singers, the Lancaster Maeanorcher te day begins the celebration of a festival which is et mere than au ordinary nature, and the presence of such worthy societies as youre, I assure you, affords us great pleasure Singers, brethren, we will de our utmost te make your short vlait'toeur festival as pleasant as possible. "Dear friends, we have had the pleasure of meeting many of you en previous occa sions. Others are strangers and unknown te us, but we are certain that you will net I bestraugers in our midst very long, and I assure you you will seen feel as if you were in your own family circle, for 'Where the Gcrmau tongue Is spoken, And whero German seugj arc sung, There Id the singer's home!' . . ''Singers, brethren 1 Yeu must net ex pect se very elaborate a festival of u, such as you may have probably visited in large cities, and you should also net expect us te be able te render as much. But I will assure you of one thing, and that is this : When you shall have returned te your homes you will truly say, 'Little Lancas ter contains true German hearts and true German societies which de net stand far back in the progress which German music and German song has made in this country.' And once mere, in the name of the Lancaster Msennorehor, be heartily welcome." Mr. Wolf next introduced W. U. He i sel, esq. Following is a brief abstract of his remarks : "Qentlemenefthe Visiting Societies, Ladle and Gentlemen : In the absence of the chief magistrate of enr city, bis honor, Mayer MacGenigle, I am requested by him te explain te you that only tbe peremptory orders of bis physician, tbat he should seek relaxation from the exiicises of his official duties outside the city,prevents his presence here te-day ; and I am bidden by him, in his name, for this municipality, en behalf of its citizens and of the Lancaster Mamner Mamner ceor te welcome you te this city and te the festivities with which ena of its eldest, most respectable and useful societies cele brates the twenty fifth anniversary of its existence and dedicates te the object of its organization this beautiful building. Yeu will find Lancaster full of objects of interest te the stranger within its gates. Yeu will recognize en every hand evidence that the English settler was here first, and left his impress en the names of its streets, but you will also discover that after him came the German and tbat be came te stay. And net only in the city, but upon the whole of this beautiful sur rounding country, which we held it no idle beast te call the garden spot of the land, you will see tha signs of German industry and German thrift. But better than its material prosperity or wealth et product or richness of cultivation, is the German spiiit which has been implanted here, and which the German carries with him wherever he gees. It may be allowed me te speak with mere freedom of the organization in whose celebration you are here te participate than one of its own members. The history of its twenty five years existence and con tinuing prosperity are a part of the history of this community, of which it has every reason te be proud. As a social and reu sical organization it has exemplified tbe spirit which breathed through the lines of the gallant Koerner wheii he sang : We 1st Ucs Saenger's Vaterland ? We edler Gelster fun ken spruchten We Kraenze lur Uas Schoene bluehten We starke llerzen treudlg glueUtcn Fur alies Uellege entbrannt. This is the spirit of German song, of German life and of German philosophy, whieh is why wherever the German life presses it conquers aud abides. Impressed and inspired with it, Lancas ter's people gladly welcome te day the Ssengerbunden te the Ssengerfest. We bid you welceme Gesang Vereine, Germa nia, Harmonie aud Tentenia,Liederkranz, Mrannercher and Srengerbund, we bid you thrice welcome ; welcome te our city, wel come te this hall, welcome te our homes, welcome te our hearts." The above is a mere abstract of Mr. Hensel's speech, whieh elicited repeated applause, the hall ringing with it as he made the quotation from Koerner, and it being renewed and long continued after he had made the peroration in German. Mr. C. F. Rees, of Millersville, the Ger man orator and poet was next introduced and recited a German dedicatory poem written expressly for the occasion. It is a spirited poem, was delivered in Mr. Rees' beat style and was received with great applause. Then cemmencad the first grand rehear sal of the siuging societies and the Mson Msen Mson nercher, under the efficient direction of Prof. Carl Matz. The rehearsal continued for about an hour and was a most pleasant affair, giving an earnest of the still better musie te be expected at the grand dedica tory concert in the evening. a The Medication Concert. The grand dedication concert te which only members, their lady friends and guests, were admitted took place at 8 o'clock. The hall was packed with an audience com -prising fully 1,000 of our own people, be sides two or three hundred from abroad. A very large proportion of these present were ladies. The pregramme opened with the "Elk's Reception," by Cox, rendered with much brilliancy by the Msennercber orchestra of 32 instruments under direction of Prof. Carl Matz. It was received by the audi ence with loud applause. President Gerhard, or tne aiamnercher, was introduced by Mr. Wolf, and read, in German, the address of dedication. After welcoming the guest te Lancaster, he briefly narrated the circumstances attend inir the organization of the LaneaatAr I Msennercher. Ia 1858 twelve mmx iMtia a small back room in E.ist King street and after interchanging views resolved te unite themselves into a social musical organiza tion. Frem this small beiuuing sprang the Lancaster Maainerehur, whieh new numbers about five hundred members.aud. instead of the little Inek room, they new come together in thi utur and capacious ball erected exprussly for th ir ac commodation. This great progress has been made possible by strict adherence te the principles up in which they started the society -edaoatien in musie combined with frieudly sociability. These principles must be perpetuated te eucure ceutinued success. Mr. Gerhard referred in highly complimentary terms te the first director et the Mamnercher, Prof. Steintnuller. whose precept and example had done se much in behalf of the society's improve ment and progress He next referred te the aotien taken last Jauu.iry by several members who saw that mere capacious accomedations were needed for the rapidly growing society. Measures were at ence taken te erect a new hall, and the fine edifice new being dedicated is the result. This result has been the offspring of German musie, German song, German manners and morals. These are the best weapons with whieh te combat vice, ignorauee or want of cultiva tien ; they are the best methods by which the German emigrant and the native American can be bteught together in fra ternal accord Iu the furtherance of these principles he declared the Msounercher ball te be new dedicated te art, music and German song, and he hoped tbat peace and harmony might forever reign within its walls, that it may be preserved from every evil, and tbat every singer may come into it with the conviction tbat the old German proverb is true : We man singt, da lass Ulch ruhlg nieiler, Beese Menacnen liabeu kelne Lloder ! Then followed "Lachner's Hymn te Musie," a grand chorus by all the siuging societies, numbering nearly 200 voices and an orchestra of 32 instruments, the heavi est chorus perhaps that was ever heard in Lancaster. The voices and instruments blended harmoniously, the time and tone being almost faultless. The audience whieh was held spellbound during the rendition burst forth into boisterous ap plause as it closed. The orehestra followed with Weus' Gavette " Ever Thine" which was given with fine effect and received meiited ap plause. Then tbe Harmonie, of Philadelphia, numbering fifty five voices, took their places upon the btage, and uuder the di rection of their accomplished leader, W. Kuenzel, sang " Die Hoffnung " (Hepe), as arranged by Beschnitt. Its rendition, perfect time, great volume and force,. and harmonious modulation of voice showed the perfeet drill which the accomplished singers had undergone. The baritone sole parts rendered by Mr. Augustus Kotten Ketten haus were exceptionally fine, the singer having a highly cultivated voice of great power, expression and compass. Leng and loud applause followed the c'et-ing of the selection, and the Harmonie responded te the encore with a humorous composi tion, entitled the " Leng Magister," which was finely rendered and heartily applauded. The second part of the pregramme opened with a selection from Gounod, by the orchestra, as arranged by Lewis. It contained several fine airs which were given with much Bpirit. The Germania MasennerCher of Balti more, next took the stagp, under their leader Mr. H. Hammer, and sang "Die Heimath" (My Dearest Heme), as ar ranged by Abt. There were about fifty voices and a full oichestiate lender this admirable composition aud it was admi rably rendered full, fresh, 6eft and sweet. There are a nniutwr of fine sole voices in the Germania. C. Zimmerman dis tinguished himself by singing a tiue tenor sole. Tumultuous a-t was the applause which greeted tbe Philadelphians, a still louder encore was given the Baltimereans, and they gracefully responded by favoring tbe audience with " Tbe Serenade," by Abt, which was rendered with equal ex cellence. A waltz, ' La Plus Belle," by the or chestra, followed, aud theu tbe Harmonie Matnnercher, of Reading, under tbe direc tion of J. W. Yest, took their places upon the stage. They numbered about 20 voices aud though they lacked tbe power and volume of the ether societies, their pieces were given with a force, expression and correctness which showed careful training .of natui ally line voices. "Waldesruh" (tbe Ferest at Rest) by J. Schmidt, was the composition absigned te them en the pregramme, aud they executed it te tbe delight of all present. In response te the applaune with whieh it was greeted they sang a serenade by Abt. The baritone soles sung by Mr. Eli Schul Schul hef were excellent affording as they did an opportunity for exhibiting the quality of an exceptionally fine voice. The united singing societies two hundred voices strong theu thronged upon the stage and unaer direction of Prof. Mitz gave Haring's " Thauwind, lustiger Geselle" (Theu Jelly Spring wind), and a jely wind it was, indeed Added te the lung power of two hundred vocalists was the Slewing and scraping of thirty instruments, form ing a volume of wind never befoie equalled in a Lancaster concert room ; but netwith standing the severity of the gale there was net a harsh note iu it ; all was concord and harmony, and finally when the storm ceased it was fol lowed by another storm of applause that fairly shook the staunch timbers of Maenneroher hall. It was in every re spect a grand success, creditable alike te all the societies participating in its rendi tion. The concert closed with a polka, ' My Own," "by tbe orchestra, aud then tbe great assemblage slowly made their way from the packed hall. Notes el the festival. The Concordia Matnnercher of Wilkes barre, Pa , is represented by Philip Weiss, proprietor of the Mansion house and member of the Democratic state com mittee, and Wm. Resen felt, also of Wilkesbarre. Leuis Garthe, of the Baltimore Sun, and Carl Ahrendt, of the German Correspond ent, accompanied the Germania, of Balti more, te this city as correspondents of tbe papers named. After tbe close of tbe dedication concert last night the Germania, of Baltimore, paid a friendly visit te the Lancaster Lie derkranz and sang a number of fine selec tions. They were handsomely entertained and had a geed time generally. The orchestra and the lady singers, of whom there are about fifty, who will par ticipate in the grand concert te night, bad rehearsals this forenoon. The Baltimore quartette consisting of Mme. Geraldine Hammer. Mme. Minna Reebm and Messrs. Carl Zimmerman and J. H. Weahmau, this morning visited the family of Henry Wolf, chairman .of the committee of arrangements, and sang one aet of the opera of Martha and au act of Trovatore. Tbe musie is highly spoken of by these who were present. xnis aueruuuu tue visiting societies are baling their second grand rehearsal in Masnnercher hall, and at 8 o'clock this evening the great festival concert will be at the same place. This will be the most prominent and interesting feature of the festival and should be attended by every lever of German music. The public at large can obtain tickets tbe same as mem bers of the Msennercher, at 50 cents each. Mere Decorations.
