rcri'i't. Many of our mocnaniw own tu(,lr own
house, and many are 'lv,.io to own thoin.
We are not huddled toother k0 Bliecp in a
eattlfl oar, but on tr-.i contrary each and every
one has roo".i ouotlKb. to turn In. Then, again,
rents, aJ'noufth cxhorliitantly hitfh, are yet
within reach of a few of the more lni'ky oues,
and this last remark hrlup-s UK to the )ilU of
our recital.
To uo a "timlnt" phrase, wo would say that
our oldc.t Inhabitant haa lonjx remembered the
lilork of dwelling, tntnated on the south Bide
of Chesnut street, between Fifteenth and Six
teenth street, and known us Colonnado How.
For years these dwellings were oecnplcd by
the first families of Philadelphia, and were con
sidered the fashionable rcHideneos of our eity.
Hut Tune, In his ever-onward march, ha.
wrought many changea, and has not spared this
particular eection.
limpness moving westward has caused our
western residents to move still further wot in
order to give way for necessary improvements,
and thus Colonnade How has been vacated by Its
former oecnpants, only to bo modernized and
rendered yet more attractive to our rising gene
ration. Some eighteen months apjo John Crump, Esq.,
a gentleman long, well, and favorably known to
most of our residents, seeing the growing de
mand for hotel accommodations, determined,
with a degree of public spirit worthy of the
highest commendation, to erect a "model
hotel" not ono large, massive, and Imposing,
but one which for neatness, adaptability of pur
pose, and comfort should not be excelled. To
this end ho purchased four of the dwellings of
the row, and, razing the old structures, has
erected on their sites an establishment of which
l'biladclphlaDS may well be proud.
The new building is five stories In height,
with a wing extension of four stories. The
front is of marble, pleasing to the eye, and at
tractive in appearance. The eastern portion of
the flrct story is fitted up as a gentlemen's parlor;
adjoining this Is the main hall or entrance, next
the ladies' entrance, and next a fine, capacious
room intended for store purposes. The base
ment is occupied as a billiard saloon and tonso
rial establishment. Of the interior arrangements
we feel that we cannot speak in terms of exag
geration. The furnishing Is the richest we have
yet seen in a hotel. From the special chamber on
the second floor to the neat little apartments for
tangle gents on the fifth story the furniture is of
the richest and most serviceable kind. The
corridors and rooms are all covered with carpets
of tapestry, and fine- lace curtains adorn the
windows of every room In the house, except
those on the fifth floor. Twe large boilers,
located in the basement, furnish heat sufficient
to warm the whole house, and in addition to
this each room is furnfehed with a grate.
On every floor bath rooms, with all the modern
improvements, are numerous, and in almost
every nook and corner arc fitted up neat basins
and fountains. Speaking tubes are ranged
throughout, und are accessible at almost every
point.
Mr. Crump, who Is both an architect and
bnildcr, has in the construction of this building
taken every precaution to guard against fire or
accidents therefrom. Three separate and dls
tinet stairways furnish the means for a speedy
exit, and ranged on every floor are ample lines
of hoee and water faucets.
Perhaps the most noticeable feature of the
whole concern Is the laundry. This In the pre
sent case Is located In the fifth story a wise and
novel idea, as by this arrangement all discom
forts arising from the escaping steam and the
other surroundings are obviated. The hotel
contains eighty rooms, fifty-two of which are to
be used as sleeping apartments, and its con
struction has cost Mr. Crump over a quarter of
a million of dollars.
This bijou of a hotel has been thrown open to
the public under the management of Mr. George
Freeman, a gentleman who has had long and
ample experience. Our residents will remember
him in connection with the Girard, whilst
strangers have lingering recollections of him
ns the generous, social host Of the Jones House,
IlurrUburg, and the United States, Atlantic City.
tnE Jewish Passover. Last evening at
sunset the f;rcat Jewish feast of the Passover
beau. This seven days' feast wa3 instituted by
Moses the lawgiver, in commemoration of the
passing of the destroying angel over the houses
of the Egyptians, when that unhappy race was
stricken with the last great plague, the death of
the first-born in every house. In the original
celebration, the paschal lamb and the unleavened
bread were eaten.
The feast is generally observed by all true
Israelites to this day. Many of the original cus
toms are 6till rigidly adhered to. The houses of
the Jews are thoroughly cleaned, and no flour
cr old leaven is allowed to remain over into the
new ecclesiastical year, according to the com
mandment. During the continuance of the
feast the unleavened bread only Is eaten. The
festival occurs upon the 14th day of the
Jewish month Niesan, or Abid, the first spring
inouth of the Hebrews. A full history of the
origin of the festival and directions for its ob
servance may be found in the twelfth and thir
teenth chapters of Exodus.
BjtTH-ErF.N. Many Inquiries have been made
as to what this name signifies. We can give no
l etter definition than that it means "House of
Pleasantness." The beautiful new church edi
fice, at Uroad and Spruce streets, bearing this
name under the pastoral case of Rev. James W.
iSmlth, 1). D., is truly a pleasant as well as a
beautiful place of worship. The members of
the church held a meeting lust evening for the
election of deacons, and the board now stands
as follows: Charles T. Miller, L. Shumway,
Joseph J. Head, Levi Knowles and Henry
Croskev.
A sermon to children will be delivered to
morrow morning, at the Tabernacle Baptist
Church, by the pastor. Rev. U. A. Peltz. The
vouner neoule of this church have recently com
menced a mission interest, at Sixteenth and
Christian streets. To aid them in this work,
Rev. H. M. Oallaher will deliver a lecture at the
Tabernacle Church, on Monday evening. 25th

J., tailed for Europe on Wednesday, the 13th
instant, in the steamer Idaho. Mr. Cattell takes
with him a party of his pupils, and expects to
trnend some five months abroad. He leaves tho
echool in charge of competent and experienced
instructors ior tne snort session now in progress,
ana ne expects to return in time lor tue open

of additional buildings, as the school during the
current year has been niied, to its utmost
capacity,

mmrw.r ow' Kter Sunday, the day com-
dl,, , t,vo f tLe rlBlntf of "r Lord frora tne
" .d afux His cruel crucifixion, will be gene
.ully observed in churches of all denominations
by appropriate services. Though the observ
ance of Wooc1 Friday and of the other memorial
days of Passion Week is practised by but few,
nearly all ngrce in giving some prominence iu
their church services to Raster as a church fes
tival. The wisdom of this Is apparent, for this
day is tho greatest of the great festivals, and
should be observed in the moHt marked manner.
Without n rlhcn God there could be no Christian
Church. The rising again from tho dead is ono
of the greatest events in the llfo of that
wonderful personage. It is the
event most vital to the wholo
plan of redemption, and tho ono showing the
superhuman power of the God-man the power
over death and the grave. With a cruciliud
Havioir only, wo would have a dead Church, a
Church without unity, doctrlno, or believers.
Without a firm belief in a risen Lord our lives
would be but blanks, with no hope of a glorious
resurrection for our own poor bodies. The
death of a friend or relative would bo an irre
parable lobs that few would bo able to bear.
Jiut with a Saviour who has broken tho power
of death, the uiilcrsnl Christian Church Is a
liviug reality, our life is a glorious existence,
by reason of the hope of a glorious immor
tality. The origin of the word "Easter" is Involved In
considerable doubt. Some say that the term Is
derived from ostre, tho name by which one of
the old Saxon deities was known. The feast of
Eoxtre was formerly celebrated in the spring of
the year somewhere about the time of the great
Christian festival. It is claimed that when the
character of the feast was changed from Pagan
to Christian tho old name was retained. Some
authorities state that the word is derived from
the Anglo-Saxon Yst, a storm, from the stormy
character of the season of the year; others
maintain that it Is derived from Orter, which
signifies rising, and this last supposition Is the
one most generally received as correct.
Raster is a movable feast, and the period
during which it may occur extends from March
22 to April 25, thirty-five days. The rule for
fixing the time as laid down lu the Prayer-liook
of the Protestant Episcopal Church is as follows.
"Easter day is always the first Sunday after
the full moon, which happens upon or next after
the 21st day of March; and If the full moon hap
pens upon a Bunday, Easter day Is the Sunday
after." From this feast all the movable feasts
and fasts of the Christian year are calculated.
There were formerly many curious secular
customs peculiar to the season which were
observed in all countries, but they have now
mostly fallen lnt disuse. The common one of
the Easter egg remains. The egg is a symbol
of the resurrection and a new life. The fancy
coloring has doubtless only come into use on
account of its beauty. Where the barbarous
but now common habit of "picking" originated
it would be hard to tell. Doubtless it is the
offspring of the fertile Vankee mind which is
proverbial for picking flaws iu all time-honored
usages.
In the Lutheran Church of Germany this day,
and also Good Friday, is more generally ob
served than any other day of the year, sacred or
otherwise. On Good Friday no one thinks of
doing business, though many think nothing
of driving their trade on every Sunday in the
year. On Easter day every one must go to
ohurch, though it is but the one annual visit.
Easier Monday is kept as the greatest of jollifi
cation days, after the services of Easter are
over. These last two customs will be found to
be generally observed by Germans in thin coun
try alio.
The services to-morrow in many churches of
this city will be of a most interesting descrip
tion. In the Moravian and in several of the
Episcopal churches a sunrise service will be
held. In all of the churches of the latter deno
mination special Easter services will be held.
In 8t. Mark's P. E. Church a communion ser
vice will be held at 7 A, M., which will be fol
lowed by the regular services ia the morning,
afternoon, and evening. In the Roman Catholic
churches the services will be as usual on tut
day. The altars will be richly decorated with
flowers. At the Cathedral Pontifical High Mass
will be celebrated by Bishop Wood, and special
musical performances may be expected. In
several of the Lutheran churches the special
liturgy for Easter will be used, and in many
churches of all denominations the discourses
will bear reference to the great lesson of the
uay.
THE COAL TRADE.
The Prospects-Tile Supply The General Facts
oi me weK-unoiuram.
The prospects are still favorable for a continu
ance of the strike in the Schuylkill region. No
resumption is looked forward to at the begin
ning of the week, as has been rumored. The
operators are determined to stand by each other
lor tne montu at least, now tuey may ieei 11
the stand-still continues all summer is another
question. Rut it is to be hoped, for their own
and the miners' benefit, that an agreement may
be reached before long.
lbe suspension does not appear to anect very
greatly even those upon the direct line
of the BchuyJKiii supply; tne iar marKei
can actually laugh in the face of the
strikers. In Boston the arrivals during three
days consisted of 140 vessels, 10 brigs, and Rio
schooners. Their cargoes amounted to the enor
mous tonnage of 13,179 tons. A large number
of these arrivals were from New Tork, although
there were quite a number from Philadelphia.
This looks very much as though New York com
panies were able to supply all demands. The
ron works along the lino of the Reading Rail
road have either a sufficient supply on .hand or
have made arrangements toobtain their coal from
Wilkesbarre at a reasonable ngurc. me price
of the article has been but little affected by the
strike, and the supply is at present adequate for
all demands, which it is likely to be for some
time to come. This is not what eithor the
strikers or operators anticipated, and the final
result may be auectea dv tue iact. une siae or
the other may see it to their interest to give way
first and mako what tney can, in wmcu case me
present strike is ended.
Anotner mar. However. De expected on tue
shortest notice. In New York city the demand
has been light during the week, tor the reason
that the weather is mild ana retailers are not
running off their stock which, in anticipation
of the strike, they had laid in, and because
manufactures are dull and little business can be
done with them. In Philadelphia the situation
is about the same, as reported on last Saturday.
There is no disposition on the part of dealers
and manufacturers to purchase beyond their
Immediate wants.
At Mauch Chunk thero was transported over
both railioads, during the week ending April
15. 1)9.440 16 tons, against U3.050 07 tons the cor
responding week of last year an increase of
Kl'JO Oil tons. Of tbis,,5U38 10 tons were delivered
to other railroads for shipmont north, and 1)3,503
tons came south for delivery along the line and
at tide. Our reports show a decrease of 8375 OS
tons from the tonnages of the previous week.
and nn increase of 814,590 08 tons ever last year
giving an aggregate for the current year, to
lat Saturday, of 1,244,343 01 tons.

Tiie Friends.' Asylum for Tnit Insane
The fifty-third annual report of the Friends'
Asylum for the Relief of the Insane, an institu
tion which is situated in the Twenty-third
ward, one mile west of Frankford, and which
is supported by private contributions, has been
issued.
From it we learn that at the date of the last annual
report there were 63 patients remaining In the Insti
tution, 2T of whom were men and 85 were women.
Hince then, 88, viz., 11 men and ii women, have
been received, making a total of 00 patleuts who
have been under care during the year. The greatest
number in the house at any time was 68, the smallest
62, and the monthly average was 64. or these 8ft
patients, 6 nave died and Vfi have been discharged,
leaving 65 in the house at the present
time, Vti of whom are men and 29 are women, or
the i!6 paMents discharged, 14 were restored, 1 was
much improved, 4 were Improved, and 0 were sta

Travelling Grocertmen. For some days
past a "strike" has been in progress amongst the
men employed in tbo brickyards in the south
western portion of the city, and Lieutenant
Henderson has deemed it necessary to detail a
number of ofllccrs to attend the locality and pre
vent any disturbance. Last night a couple of
the ollicers were informed by some of the men
;not on tne Btriuej employed by is. j. Gilles
pie, Twenty-fifth and. Rcca streets, that a couple
or auspicious characters caa oeen seen to enter
the stable ou tho premises and after a few
minutes leave it. A search was at once insti
tuted and amongst the bay was found a lot of
conce, sugar, teas, candies, soap, bread, butter,
eggs, brooms, scrubbing-brushes, and, in fact,
enough material to stock a email grocery, to
gether with two shot-guns. The officers removed
the property ana men set a watcu upon tue
place. In a short time the chaps returned nd
w ere taken into custody. Alderman Dallas gave
them a bearing and committed them to await a
further investigation, 'ihey gave their names as
Mike Mahony and John McHcnry. Any person
having lost goods similar to the above are re
quested to call at the station-house.
Brutes! A bipedal specimen of the brute
creation named William Mahony, who resides at
Foils of Schuylkill, Twenty-first ward, on Thurs
day displayed his superabundant courage by
thrashing his wife. The cowardly wretch was
arrested and taken before Alderman Dean, who
held him in $400 bail to answer.
Another "loafer" named James Loguc, residing
No. 531 Marriott street, has been committed to
prison by Alderman Lutz on a similar charge.
This latter abortive specimen oi numanity is
aged thirty-eight years, and Is married to a
woman seventeen years his senior, whom he
has made support him for several years back.
The poor woman makes a pittance now and then
at washing, all of which the "brute" spends for
rum. LMui midnight returning nome semi
intoxicated, he demauded of her the earnings of
the day. She hnd but just returned from West
l'LiiaaeiPhia alter performing a naru oays
work, and desired to retain the money for food.
Ibis exasperated the brute.and he assaulted and
beat her unmercifully, and threatened to take
her life. Her screams attracted an officer, and
the cowardly fellow was arrested.
Storb Robbery The clock and fancy goods
establishment of G. 8. Lovell, No. b27 Market
street, was entered last night, as is supposed
by youthful thieves, the drawers of the counting
room broken open and ransacked, and six dol
lars' worth ot postage stamps ana a aress coat
belonging to a member of the firm stolen. An
attempt was made on tho fireproof safe, but it
resisted tho efforts of the thieves to open it. An
entrance waB effected into the store through a
window in the secoud story, which was reached
by climbing up the awning-posts in tront of the
establishment on Market street. After reaching
the second stary, two stout doars were forced
to gain accesB 10 ine nrsi uoor, auu notwith
standing the noise that must necessarily have
been made by the thieves, tht private watchman
of the block and the regular policeman on patrol
passed the store in blissful Ignorance of any
thing wrong occurring within. A light Is kept
burning in it all night, and the whole of the in
terior ia visible frru the front. The attempted
robbery is therefore quite daring one.
The ' Elefbikt Yesterday, along Darby
road, travelled a circus, attached to which was
an elephant. The huge animal was adorned
with an immense red cover, and as ho roamed
along cuused fear and consternation amongst
the "equines" and "bolvnes" that be met. John
H. Joues, the celebrated butcher ef the Twenty
fourth Ward, happened to bo driving along,
when his horse, catching sight of the animal,
dashed madly off, and finally brought up at a
toll-house, which was upset by the sudden shock.
As a matter of course, the wagon was smashed
into a thousand pieces, and John, who weighs
about 300 pounds, was thrown violently to the
ground, from which he rebounded only to fall
gain. Mr. Jones was badly cut and bruised :
tho elephant passed on unhurt.
Theft or A Boat. Some eight or ten days
ago a couple of "wharf rats" stole a boat from
Almond street dock. Since then the officers
have been on the lookout for them, and yester
day they were arrested and takeu before Alder
man Moore, who committed them to prison.
They gave their names at Jereukjah Butter and
Jauef Harvey.
Tin Mortality or Tim City. The nnmber

Riot in a Bashio. Jacob tirycer, accompa
nied by four other "roughs," yesterday entered
a baguio on St.John street, below Noble, known
as the Reno Iiouut. After imbibing freely they
refused to pay for the liquor, when a row origi
nated, and for a time chairs, tables, glasses, and
bottles flew thick and fast. Grycer during the
melee attacked one f the female inmates of the
place and beat her rather severely. The hubbub
attracted somt of the Seventh district officers,
who arrested Grycer and his companions and
marched them before Alderman Toland,whoheld
held Grycer In t800 bail to answer and the
others to keep the peace.
Assault and Battery. John Glcndennlng
and William A. Allen have been held in $500
bail each by Alderman Stearne, to answer the
charge of assault and battery. It appears that
Glendenning, who is a manufacturer at Frank
ford, has of late met with losses, and his pro
perty has been seized by the Sheriff. Ou Thurs
day last Glendenning, in company with Allen,
visited the place, and a dispute arising between
them and the Sheriff's officer In charge, they
assaulted and beat bias; hence the above charge.
Abolished. His Honor Mayor Fox has
issued an order directing the special officers of
the various districts to hereafter report to their
respective lieutenants, Instead of Chief Kelley,
and directing also that they shall wear the uni
form similar to that worn by ordinary police
men. This virtually abolishes the "special offi
cer" system.
Profanity. Joseph Inghram, a resident of
the Twenty-seventh ward, while indulging in
the use of profane language yesterday, was re
monstrated with by a Christian gentlemen, to
whom ho replied In terms still more profane.
The gentleman then called an officer, and had
Joseph taken before Alderman Luugren, who
fined him for his profanity.
An Overcoat. John Speckler yesterday en

sketch of rough life subdued by the tender Influences
of an unconscious child; it abounds with humor aud
