0 THE DA1LI EVENING TEJGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1869. n w y o it it i smb. ur Own CorrenpondenU Nbw YORK, Oct. 2ft. 1669. The Fat .linn's Borne people doubt tne fact of. there lining Fat Hafl K Club. They believe it 4 n mytn of Urn news papers, that no Fat Man's 'clambake ever took place in Connecticut, that no apotheosis of nnetaosltj was ever celebrated thc These poor creatures are mistaken. The Ft Men have awoke from their lethargy, sufficiently to rmmo a constitution and by laws. One of the articles la that membership Hliall be restrlctol to persons weighmr; two hundred ot inore pubuds at tho date of admission, but Hint no tmbswment decrcaw In weight shall result In (for feiture of membership. Another article is umi ii person who wii e-. -r ex hibited himself for monvy, or other valnhle con sideration, shall be cllfilble. In consetnenoo of these intimations, those who love exclusfvcncss and are addlete.l to club life arc having tecoursu to Baoilng and his syfm. A fresh edition of that tatfosophT's edicts (s about t be printed, and any ' irian who aspires to become a member of the F. M.

They -have too much reserve, and reticence, and all theso moRV-like virtues ever to become boon companions. Ncm ' iclcss there is so.no t;.lk of one being esta Si ' If so, Horace Greeley will belong to It. He ready be! nigs to the VM Man's Club, but that n akes nd manner of diirerence. I was told yester .TvtliatPr. K. Hhcltnn Mackenzie, of Philadelphia, had recency been admitted to the Fat Man's Club. 1 was sur irlscd to hear it, being aware of the Doc tor's notorious aversion to social jollity. New York Similar Concert n. The -as'on has commenced when Sunday evening concerts will become the vogue. They were well supported here hist year; they will be batter sup ported this, both because they are intrinsically good in themselves, and because they help slowly but surely toward the musical and Intellectual culture of the public. 1 know that there is a certain strict class which decries Sunday evening music in public. It is 1hc same class which would have no cars run on ' Sunday, and whose notions of happiness are limited to golden harps and endless hallelujahs. The best f the Sunday evening concerts which we have had licrc are as innocent and prolitable a recreation as that which public libraries and reading-rooms a ll'ord. Those in Steinway Hall, for instance, were attended not so exclusively by fashionable people, or wealthy people, as by good and solid people together with young men and young women whose hours of em ployment during the week are too laborious to permit them to Hud enjoyment during the secular evenings outside their own homes. t, sometimes happens that of a winter's Sunday evening several concerts are given, each of which is well and re spectably attended. Madame I'arepa aud Miss Kel logg and Madame Testa have not, disdained to lend their aid to these enjoyments, and Thomas' orchestic has repeatedly interpreted Koine of the grandest of sacred compositions. There are places, it Is true, where an attempt is made to degrade tne Sunday fonccrt idea, and t bring it down to a musio-hall level. As a rule, however, but little effort, in New York, In that direction has been successful. I have seen more religious emotion fostered at a Sunday evening saTed concert than in the fasliion-ll uttered pews ol a modish church; as much candid love for the r.eautllul evident in Steinway Hall as sham aspi ration after the Goud In Fulton street pi-jyer-niceting. "Iliiwlinnds .Excepted." An exception in favor of onu s oivu husband is one which the Woman's Rights wranglers iu East Twenty-third street are forever making. There are mauy iLen whs habitually speak of women as though they put their own mothers and sisters asldj, aud considered me resi- 01 mo ca capuniu ui uu unmen tionable naughtinesses. The same rule holds true of women, at any rate those who belong to the Den in Twenty-third street. Mis. Stanton uud Miss Anthony are now away, und the mice are taking tho usual holiday which is proverbial when the cats are absent. An" amusing episode occurred list night, after Mrs. Sowerbr hud made a series of disparaging remarks in regard to man. Mrs. Sowerhy evidently regards niau us a fraud, made to he a hindrance to Eve, and only moderately useful. Mrs. Nortou. who is the quicksilver of the association, listened to the maledictions of the orators, with that .clenching of hT Utile lists, and that, pursing of her little Hps, which foreboie so much to her opponents. W hen the last word was naiil, she jumped up Mrs. Norton never rises and begged to make an except I ill iu favor of Air. Nor ton, other men luiplit be vv.dl, and ba9c, and un derhanded, but not Mr. Norton, otiier men might ridicule the 1'ytlionesses of East Twenty-third Bircc-f, and vilify th.dr manly endeavors but not, oh nut Mr. Norton ! This is the strain in which they all talk. Bless tlicni ! 'i'hey mean well enough, it is on the sumo principle, you Know, as that upon which the greatest sticklers lor beliel in everlasting damnation always make an exception In favor of members of their own lamily, no matter how black the sheep may be ! Well, what's the use of being a woman's rights woman, unless yon are full of incon sistencies? H is an Inconsistency to Imagine for a moment that matters could bo otherwise. "Poor Humanity." This is the title of a play which is to be porfornvd next Monday evening week at the Olympic Theatre. It Is a dramatization from the novel of that name by the author, Mr. F.

Yot.trrday afternoon thos-i valiant men of Wi.r yclept the (-:rey Kes-rves proved themselves to bo possessed, indivldtiallv and collectively, of tho true soldierly quality of gnitltMiie. H will bo reinem bered that while they were in camp at Capo Island, N. J., last, summer, the Presvtent paid a Hying visit, und during his st.av thei'"ai. oi about a day ami a half complimented tlie Koscnes by reviewing them three separate and distinct tini-n. As a souvenir of tho grand success which atteuded their encampment, the Reserves caused sundry medals iu bronze to be ! struck off for presentation to certain prominent citi zens who contributed to the fslat of tho occasion, i But. as the President had contributed more than ull ' others, by his presence, to t':a biilllftucy of the cu- campmcnt, it was resolved to present to him a cony ! of tin; medal In gold. Uis present visit to tho ciiy afforded a favoiable opportunity for making the pre sentation, and yvRterdtiy nfterubon theollieersof the gallant regiment wnlted upon the "old commander" at the residence of ex-Secretary Borle, No. u"j Spruce street, to mrke tim presentation. i Colonel Latta made the presentation speech, and, i as he placed the medal in the President's hands, stated that the presence or the President had added materially to the success of the tirey Iteserves sea side encampment; that a number of Philadelphia's prominent citizens had, by their presence and eu couragement, contributed to the success of the en terprise, mid in view of this fact they had been pre sented with a medal iu bronze as a token of the ap preciation ol the command. The President being the most distinguished citizen of the country, it" well as its Chief Magistrate, ft was deemed ad visable to ignore the baser metal aud use one mora precious. .. The President, on receiving the beautiful token, expressed briefly his thanks, assured tho oillcers of the regiment he should long rememuer the Interest ing event of his visit to their encampment, and fur thermore complimented them upon tho creditable manner in which the men had conducted themselves on review. The obverse of the medal contains a bust of Wash ington, in bus relief; while the reverau bears this inscription: "lirst Kefiimflnt Inf.-.ntry l.'rey Kesorvos. Cape -May, N. J., July, Presented to His J'ACellein-y Ulyiies S. Grant, President of the United States." . A J i'n ml Scene nt the AemleniT of .Hutdc. Last evening the Academy of Music was crowded to its utmost capacity, the occasion which drew to gether the large uudience being the third annual bumbiy School Jubilee in aid of the "Home for the Aged and Inlirm of the M. K. Church in Philadel phia." The exercises consisted of singing by u chorus of about one thousand children gathered from the various Methodist Sunday Schools In tip city, about forty inherent churches being repre sented. The children all of whom, with the excep tion of a score or so, were young girls were seated upon the stage, every Inch of which was crowded with their bright and smiling faces. Dressed uni formly in white' as they very, with sashes and rib bons of various hues, the scene as viewed from the auditorium was ono of unus ml' attraction. William C. Bakes, L'sq., was President of the organization having general charge of the arrangements; Pro fessor William (J. Fischer acted as Musical Director of the vocal exorcises, and I'rofessor Carl (iaertner as conductor of tho large orchestra whose perform ances varied the entertainment. Enter, tho President. After the singing or the opening piece and a prayer by thelJev. Btshop bimpsou, there was a great com motion raised upon the stage and in the audience by the appearance of tho Presidential party, whose an ticipated presence had contributed iu some measure to the drawing together of such an overwhelming throng. Tho President wns escorted by Bishop Simpson and leorge II. Stuart, Esq., to a seat in the lower proscenium box to the right of the stage. Accompanying tne party were several memocrs or the Bishop's family and a few others. Before the Chief Magistrate could b seated the audience and tlie children raised a wild tumult of applause, re newed again and again as tne distinguished visitor quietly bowed his acknowledgments. "Sec, the ComiucrliiK Hero Comes!" The exercises were then procecdad with, without interruption, until about a quarter before 9 o'clock, when the regular programme was temporarily sus pended by the announcemant that the children would sing i ne cnorus, "see, ine conquering iiero Jornes: from tne oratorio or juuaa Mucfaocrun. At this announcement the President left his box in company with Bishop Simpson and Mr. Stuart, aud passing through tne green-room, made nis way down through the brilliant throng of children to the front of the stage, where chairs had been placed for him and his companions. The scene then presented was one that fairly beggars description. Every child upon the stege joined the applauding chorus of the audience, ami waved ner nanoKcrenier, ami uowo through this flutter and tumult passed the President to the footlights, receiving the grand ovation of the children with as much composure as he had received the fire of the enemy in the march from the Roidan to the dames, as soon as lie was seated, a little gin approached him and placed in his hands a large and beautiful bouquet, which was a sigual for tho re newal or tne uproar tiirouguout tne miuuing. The chorus, which had been completely drowned out by the tumult, was then renewed, alter which the orchestra performed a brilliant national march, composed by Carl (iaertner for the occasion, ana dedicated to the President. "The Father of his People." Bishop Simpson then arose and addressed the audience brief) v. He referred to the benevolent object ol the occasion, saying that the Interest taken in the event was a prooi or tne great oenevoieuce oi the people of Philadelphia. This sph it of benevo lence, he continued, is a sign of true greatness. It is recorded or uiesar mat wneu ue uiuu n w iuuuu i hiidren. and ioin in their sports. To-night history but repeats Its lesson in this, and we have now in our midst another example of sympathy with a worthy and benevolent object. The man of all men living turning to the President who is best litted to marshal armies and lead them to battle, turns aside from tie cares of State to-night to coine among us, displaying in so uoing tnat sympatny anu benevolence which characterize truo greatness. He comes here to greet the charitable people of this city, and to encourage tlie children who are lending their sweet notes to the grand object of this gather ing, thus proving- himself to be, what every ruler should be, the Father ol his People! Old Hundred. When the Tlislien resumed his seat, there were loud cheers aiul culls fcr Grant, but Mr. George 11. Staart rose and addrested the audience. Alter compli menting tne .MCliicuiBC unurcu lor lis generosity mm loyalty, of widen he had received strong proof during the war, he said that we thanked God for raising up General Grant to crush out the infamous slaveholders' rebellion (cheers); und we thank God still further for raising him up to his present posi tion to crush out our burdensome national debt. Great cheering.) Aud now, continued Mr. Stuart, I want you all to express your joy at theso blessings bv rising to your icet., Ith this vast audience and this beautiful collection vif children, aud all join iu singing "J'ralse God from whom all blessings flow," as Methodists know how to sing it. The t'oiKiueriiiK Hero HpeuUs. But before the audience could gain their feet, cries of "Graut !'' "speech !" "spjccli !" wero renewed so Imperatively that the President arose and addressed the audience as follows: "i.adu and Gentlemen : I hardly know how I can suitably llui.nl; you for tills demonstration ot your kindness aud regird for me. I havo never visited Philadelphia but tnat I have received evi dences of your kindness, un-l of gratitude far greater than 1 am conscious of deserving. 1 can only say that I hope I muv be able to d-j souietli.ng that will deserve it lu the niture." The Coiniierlni Iiero Comiucrerl In Turn. This brief speech was greeted with. boisterous ap plause, on the subsidence of which tlie audience uud the children rose to their feet and sang the grand anthem of praise. The Presidential party then en deavored to leae the sta. re, but before they could gain the lobbies of the building tile children sur rounded the President and clamored for a saluta tion. Hy scores and by hundreds they presied aud surged around him, some of them bringing chairs and stoois to lengthen out ihelr stand'ng.

New York, October 22, ISrjiV' I'reMdenttiil serenades anil Speeches. - The President, on withdrawing from the Academy of MuhIc, proceeded io the residence of Mr. li'irie, where he was met by it large company of Invited guests, among whom we noticed many of tho mist prominent personages in the political, business, and nocial circles of the city. Ahi'iit.11 o'clock tho com pany whs startled by the so un.' of martial music, Mid It was discovered that quite a crowd had ns cinb!cd to participate in a serenade, the miis:c 1'i'ing discoursed iiy Heck's band. '1'hn President appeared at the window, and in rrspono to repaated calls lor a speech, addressed the aisemblage as f ol lows : "ientlenien. 1 thank vou for this compliment anil fortius delight rul music. Sly old friend Mr. Boric does not wish to hear a speecn, and I do not wish to make one. 1 repeat that I thank you." Soon after, another serenading party made Its appearance, and this time the colored eiement. of our population prevailed, the serenade being ten dered by a colored military organization, accom panied by a cornet band, under the command of Captain U K. French, nnd known as tho Excelsior Beserves. A nother speech was of course demanded, and the President responded by appearing again at the window and saving: "1 am very much obliged to you for this demon strathm of your kindness. When it is over, 1 hope you will all go home and be good boys!'' The Excelsiors did as they were told, and. like good hoys, separated to their homos when the last strains of the music hnd died away. j ne rresmeni passed tue ntgnt at the residence or Mr. Borle, but, previous to his departure from the city to-duy, was destined to figure on another no table occasion.

The Inspector of Steam Engines and Boilers, since the adoption of the ordinance creating that depart ment, has inspected IMS, of which number 5M were Inspected during the quarter ending September ao. Of the number of boilers inspected (1M.S) eleven have been condemned, two of which occurred during this quarter. llepairs have been ordered on five sets of botlors: one set had to be stripped and caulked, on account of too muoh heat being carried on the top or steam surface of the boiler. Hand holes have been ordered to be cut in several, to enable them to be cleaned out. This is very necessary to prevent the holier from burning through, which it will do In a short time if not cleaned. The attention of the department has been called to a number of boilers that have been repaired at the suggestion of incompetent persons, wiio receive a commission on the cost of such repairs.

The small number of engineers that have pre sented themselves for examination during this quarter is in consequence of tho being no penalty attached to that part of the ordinance, uud tho charge of three dollars for certificates. In New York it was found necessary to abolish not only the charge for Inspection, but also for the examination of engineers, In order to prevent an evasion of the The necessity of classification is to be found in the many erroneous ideas developed by tho exami nation of engineers, many of them, for instauce, being under the impression tnat a Doner cannot, ex The law requires that boilers should be proved by a hydraulic pressure one-third greater than they aro al'owed to carry by their certificate, consequently a boiler cannot be exploded except by overloading the safety-valves, or allowing the water to get too low, aud thereby overheating the boiler, thus reducing Its strength.

The well-known firm of Cooper A Conard have lately completed a store Improvement at Ninth and Mnrkct streets that reflects credit upon their own taste and business capacities, snd well Illustrates the fact that the pub lic know who serve them best. In the spring of 18NJ, a small, poorlv-llffhled store stood at this cor ner, and It was lllld with a stock of goods of very moderate proportions; but the articles wero all carefully selected, of standard quality, and were sold without the use of a dlshouest word. The two young men who ventured their means In this enter prise wero both from Lancaster count v, In this State, and were determined to build up a business, If hard work and honest closings could do so. This policy of conscientious faithfulness to tho interests of tl.elr rustomers was strictly adhered to, and it has r. felted in a steady increaso of custom that has at last produced the great dry goods establishment now presided over by these two same gentlemen, on the scene of their early struggles. The new store at the 8. K. corner of Ninth and Market streets will btar favorable comparison with ' tne ninny line improvements made or lato years in . this city.
