LLTTEK rKOM A MUSICAL FRIEND. Etar ficrics Editor: Seeing that you arc now giving cuts in your column, 1 would like a little notice taken ol our Free and Easy that meets every Saturday nlzht, 5n Cherry street, nud out boys will all be pleased to see themselves treated to a notice, eericbly" speaking. ' Our "Free and Easy," which f-oeiby the name f the "Convivial Nightingales" among the pro fane, is an institution somewhat after the fashion of a Mutual Admiration Society. More strictly speaking, it is a Mutual Toleration So ciety, lor when A sings, P, C, aud D listen and applaud, simply in order to insure attention and approbation lor themselves when their turns come. Do you suppose I care to hear Runkel for the twentieth time not to say hundredth croaking out "The deep-deep Sea?" Or can you imagine that the fiftieth repetition or Wil. son's squeaky piping about "My pretty Jane'i has any charm forme? No! I endure them because my time will come presently, although, to be sure, my rendering ol "Champagne Charlie" is a performance not to be com pared with such rubbish as the singing of Wil. ion and Kunkel. This is the portrait of our chairman (chair taken at8 o'clock). He is Eoselnbug, of the well known firm ot Roseinbug, Buglnrose & Co., wholesale clothiers, on Market street. He pre sides over our meetings with a placid solemnity which shows that he appreciates the importance of the position. It is really beautiful to see the deprecating clance he tarns to members who rattle their glasses, or whisper, while a song is coing on, and it is a joy to behold him flinging bimself into the applause, which ho guides aud moderates when needful. You would hardly ausnect him ot nossessine a very high tenor Toice but he has one. and warbles "Good bye, Sweetheart," with great feeling, when be does sing, which la not very often, This is our pianist, Bradbury, the organist of fit. Crirpin, one of the suburb churches in which there are more stained glass windows than wor shippers; where, in fact, the incumbent with eight hundred per annum is paid at the rate of fifty dollars per head per year, for his ordinary congregation including the clerk. Bradbury is in a chronic state of maudlin and incipient intoxication when we meet him of an evening. Whether he abstains from alcoholic excitement on Sundays, or whether he has taken to it with a view to doubling his audience at church, has never been clearly stated. At our annual diuner be invariably gets hopelessly tipsy, and as invariably insists on playing the most compli cated overtures and sonatas. He usually fioishej up the performance by rolling his head along the keys when his bauds refuse to play whereupon the chairman has hlca promptly sent home in a hack. This is McKinney. He is the life aud soul of the society, full of good jokes and absurd rid dles. He sings absurdly comic songs really eomlc Eongs, that is, not the vulgar rubbUh so called by the "Varieties" songsters. I here represent him in his favorite soug of "Bacon ana tireens." Everyboly likes him, and he is the idol of evening parties. He is indeed vastly superior to the next member I introduce This Isyoung Jones, ne models hlmsolf on the tars of the music-halls which he frequents. His highest ambition is to be mistaken for Vivian or the great LinsaroV He certainly looks a shocking httie squirt, and we all regret hiB admission to the society. Bradbury detests hlca, and U being perpetually harrowed by the i , I r I j, J ml!-? THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, iiscoTery that some nne old piece of almost for gotten music baa been stolen and disfigured by the popular melodists. Jones does not care a bit for music; has no ear and no appreciation. He merely Joined our society because it gave him unusual opportunities for howling: the Imbecilities which he calls "comic songs." 1 here represent him in his supposed imitation of Llngard, half yelling and half whispering- "On the bench at Long Branch One fine summer's day." It is rather painful and unpleasant lor those of us who do not care for such places and such people to have music-hall melodies and music-hall m amirs t'iiruat upon us by Jones. I despise the little wretch always, but when he begins to sing, pity mingles with eon tempt. It Is a heart-rending spectacle t Ashe stands wagging his poor, feeble noddle, with a stereotyped grin of affected knowintrness on his doughy expressionless countenance, and bellows out in a harsh, vulgar voice the rhymelcss and reasonless rubbish which he calls a song, he presents a spectacle which makes one in clined to think Durwin's theory ot the origin of man by no means Hie worst that could bo propounded. I would tar rather fancy the human race sprang from it monkey than a comic Bhiger like Jones. Here you have Williamson and Owens. Owens is tall, aud possesses a voice that seems to proceed from his boots. Williamson is 6hort, and boastsa tenor that appears to come from somewhere in the ton of his hca). I have always surmised that the artistic manner in which they look down one another's throats during their chords is to be attributed to each's curiosity as to the locality whence the other's voice proceeds. They are here depicted in the act of singing "Meet me by moonlight alone. '' It must not be imagined, from their singing duets together perpetually, that they are as attached to each other as Damou end Pvthias. On the contrary, they fight in cessantly over iheir music, each trying to select pieces that give him the lion's share of the sing ing. As a rule, it may be taken for granted that the "sons of harmony" quarrel more than most people a fact to which we owe the old saying about "first fiddle."' In the best-regulated Musical Societies there are perpetual heart burnings. A, who is first flute, is disgusted because B had a solo given him at the last con cert; C would like to punch D's head for drown ing his tong with a loud accompaniment; E is convinced that in the last glee F purposely sang out of tune to confuse him; 6 declares that II, who was to sing a new duet with him, which owing to H's absence through illness is left out, is only shamming in order to spite him and so on through all the alphabet. The last member whose portrait I give is old Gillingham. He is a wonder to us aud a mystery to the world at large. By some he is supposed to have an office down in Harmony court; by others he is believed to be the surgeon of the luuatic department of the Almshouse. He is Buck a fossilized old party that his age is uncer tain, but he is no chicken. He remembers Brabam and talks about Billy Quale as of but yesterday, so that he must have had an ear from his earliest infancy. He goes to the opera two or three times iu the season, but he does not think they sing as well as they used to do He tlmaelf has a peculiarly weak and quaveriug voice, which is little fruited to compass the little trills and flourishes with which be decorates his songs. He has one or two old favorites that he pumps up at times with ditliculty. "When the Swallows Honiewatd Fly" is one of his pets, but his finest effort is "From the Whlte-blossouied Sloe." Ills rendering of the touching passage: "No, by heaven 1 1 exclaimed, miy I perish If ever I plant In that bosom a thorn 1" is a triumph. Unfortunately, at tines he is seized with a violent fit of coughing while he is among the high notes. However, he is not (lis. concerted, but waits like a plucky old boy till the fit i over, and then to our infinite rapture begins all over again ! This concludes my brief sketch of the Convl vial Nightingales. It is by no means an exhaus tive description, but it pictures the most distin guished members. Space will not permit me to immortalize all. Yours, Octave, Last week was published in the-Telegraph's news columns an account of the new coins about to be issued by the United States Govern ment. We have this week to record, to dur astonishment, au issue of a new coin by a pri vate firm. The desp-i ch appeared in Tuesday's Public Ledyer, in this form ; UlttTHa. COIN. On 2d Instant, a dauchter to John 8. aii a Johanna (Join, of i his city. We thought we would notice this Hem, and call the attention ot Coin-fanciers to it. A lady, who refused to give after bearlosr a charity sermon, bad her pocket picked at she was leaving the chuich. On making the dis covery she said, "The parson could not find the way to mypoeket, but the Devil did." Why is a married totn like a tallow-candle? Because he often Kcot out at night when be ought not to. A Pabadox, The best of wrlting-"To right wrong," W:s A k AFTER "PAP."

Mnvor previous to yesterday must needs have oDierveu ujnu un " , . placard notifying all applicants for polloeap. nolotmenta that they oonld not be admitted to an audience before "Friday at 11 A.M." Not deterred, however, by this kind caution, the multitude of hungry seekers after plaoe eon tinned thronging the "oorner," contenting them- telves, in lieu or hoddoooidk wnn loemi.v". by vacantly gnzlng at the windows, impeding travel, and yawning away the slow-fooled hours. From early In the morning until late in the evening; there they stood. Apparently they went neither to board nor to bed, for you always encountered the same faces and wedged your way through the same crowds. Of course, they all had their applications drawn, signed, and sealed, and nounsnea mera inuii'u antly In the air, or rattled them with impudent defiance under the noses of the officers whose positions thev expected to take. Well, yesterday at "11 A. M." ine nour arrtvea. i g"u i wv -u. . . i What a gathering of bees alter honey ! The first "peep o' day" beheld them still constant on the curbstone, still clinging like loousls to that stairway which led to that room lu whioh sat that man. The "Fox" was In trepidation. Me had gained his refuge before the press had become loo oompaot, and had sunk, with a sigh not altogether devoid of apprehension, Into the embracing arms of the "Mayor alty" chair. lint knowing bis danger, be had adopted every expedient to avoid It had Intrenched himself be hind a table had tne doors double-locked had a cordon of lieserves stretching from (he sidewalk to the sanctum. Waa he safe? Not mnch. For pouring from the "four corners" deserting the trees in front of the "Row otHces" ebbing from the taverns and restaurants in Which lliey had been forllned rounding the angles of the old State House rellnquttmlng tneir wonted positions iu every aoorway near by the rabble came. 'Xwas a sight as Rood as a circus. Like crows to the carcass they had scented out the game, nndnot oneol the motley throng uciiected no in a straight Hue inudiug into that "door of happy entrance" on Cheanut street. The best man wins! The first bite gets the choice bit ! Hats in hand, away they sped It in a pell-mell race to the stairway. The mud Hew in Hakes from their hasty feet like the drops from a rapid water-wheel the dust rose in clouds up the steps. In a second alter the steeple clock bud struck eleven the place was lammed. A spectre couldn't have insinuated lisen anywncre. Aiie oauisier aiong tne stairs was strained so that it creaked again and the plaster of the walls was dented with the Impress of hard-pushed shoulders. Over faces fiery red with eagerness the perspiration flowed in oily streams, and hair, which the occasion had combed for ihe first time lu a twelvemonth. twisted up by the roughing into wonted knots and bushes. Up stairs to the lauding they go but here the current is suddenly checked. A dozen or more policemen inured by years of experience to withstand jnst such a pressure stood arraycu in pnaiaux against the panting crowd and kept It at bay. Now the Mayor's omce can be reached by two doors. Bald the captain of the defense unto the first of the hoht: "Go thou in by that door, and go thou In singly. Ho it is ordered." And the whole host heard these words of the captain, and restrained themselves. A deep fear and awful expectation fell upon all. They questioned among themselves. "What manner ol man is he we are to meet? What will come of all this?" But no one oould give answer, and so they communed in their own thoughts. And time panned away. But, lo! one youthful of the unlemlled. grew impatient, aud opening his mouth 8 pane. His pronhecv was this: "I say unto you. run not elf my brethren; for, as our apostle 'Jack son' has said. 'Uulo the victors belonn the spoils.' Bo be not dismayed by our adversaries wno Keep me way against us. uira up your loins, and 'the day's our own, my braves.' " Ann i he uost uearaenea uulo these sayings of i he beardless youth, and whs encouraged. Now murmurs arose against the captain of ine aeieuse. anu me jt-niusiineB pressed hard upon him. But be was a mighty manor war. and saying lo bis faithful few, "Let not your livers quake, nor your uoweis iaii you," ne urew lortu his two-edged cudgel and allowed It to fall gently spon the sconce of the most onward of the host. And the battle waxed hot and fierce. But ihe defenders he'd up the hands of their captain, and right valiantly they kept the way against the fhlllstlnes. And ihey fought nnill a voice sounded from the inner temnle. "Why pollute ye these holy nrecinots with wrathful words and deeds of arms? Let peace come upon these trouolei waters." And the armies rested from their work, and were mighty glad. And, lo! the door was again opened, and vnim waa heard savlnc "Make wav for some more of the Phills tines, for they have Kilned the rlgnt to enter by their Importunity. For valiant uave been their deeds for many have been the votes they polled lor worthy is their cause for theirs Is the eovernment of the circumcised white man for none ot Afrlo's dusky hue shall wield the municipal baton. Bo let them come In by twos and threes, lor t hey shall all be circumcised Into the true laitu." And the voice spake no more. And the hos raised a sons of rejoicing and they sang all both old and young both the weak and the strop g. Aud the unelrcumetsed Philistines beyond the walls heard the sound of the re Jolcing, and answered back "hunkey dory.' And lov reisned throughout all the host. Now they were ushered iuto the inner room by twos and threes, and there met the reward Of their labors. The side door leading from the Mayor's prl vate office noon the landing was closely sum and guarded. The applicants were admitted, two or three at a time, through the door open lost into the main office, thence by aside door Into the presence of the Mayor himself. What a spectacle the mass of them presented as they f lacked themselves away belween the two lues of polloemen which guided the stream Into the doorway of the private office! Old and young fat aud lean tall and short white-faced and red-faced all hair and no hair respectable aud rouab all mingled together into one Indiscriminate compound The heat in the place was lutense, and they were intensely Jammed, consequently sweating like eoal-heavers. They oould do nothing but mop and murmur. The process o going through the "sprouts" was agonizingly alow not more than three In about five minutes aud therefore they had to console themselves with the cheerful prospector wait ing for hours before reached in their turn. And when once they had succeeded iu reaching hi Honor what did tbeyrecelv? An appointment Nary time I Mr. Fox simply took their aplica- nons in tne couiest way luiHgiusuin, uu iuem mArkfcd and put awav. audlhen bidding the poor wretches ' good morning," kindly pointej the way to the other door; the one opeulug npon the stairway. Not much satisfaction that, and still It was all the miserable waiters and hopers obtained. Thus Ihe string con tlrued.and thus tne process continued. No thin? waa done save the reception of thel application". No pollnemen were actually made, none nnraade. After lingering for days around the oflioe the Democratic aspirants had to depart yel Hunpended in incertitude. The Age, whioh may be lairly suppose to re flect the purposes and senllmeuis of our newly elected Mayor.ln Its Issue of yesterday mornlug contains the following: "The announcement of tba Mayor, that no applica tions would Be ncelved until Krld. dlil not Ulmiu Mi t be crowd id attendance at the oUlca yeuier.iav, tiots of anpllcanta awarmad la and around tlte building.
