" It is a muaical associntion, composed eontirely of gentlemon, and was organizod by s numboer of musfeal poople in Boston who wers anxious tharo shiould be a olub horo like thoso wo hoar of in Gormany. ‘This Club consisbs of about sixty mombors, and is composod of the very fincet musical tal- ont in Doston, both profossional and privato. Besides theso activo mombors, thoro aro & num- ber of what aro callod *‘aesociato mombors,” who, by paying & cortain yoatly assessment, bo- long to tho Olub, and haye tho privilege of at- tending tho concerts. Tho Club moots for practico every Tuosdsy night; onco a month, gives what is called s public rolrearsal ; and, twico a year, . grand con-~ corts tuke place in tho Muslc Hall,—two in January’ and t70 in May. As thivigs not caelly attained aro tho moat to ko dosire, T, tho very fact that those concorta aro not opeu & 0 tho public by tho g\u—chmo of tickets makes tho desiro to go ‘all gtho greater. Each membor, be th active and assooiato, has o certain numbor’ of tickets to distribute among his frionds, and there sra nooe acld, In comso- quonca'of this 'y tho sudiencos sre vory * select,” and, in fact, ce 'ntain fow but roal music-lovers, and thoso who 1130 approciato tho fine claus of musie thoy sing, which consists almost eatirely of English and @ erman part-songs and gheos. Tho singing of the Club is suporb; and, in tho practice of tln3 last tow yoors, taey have risen to such a degi“e0 of porfection that they |. aresaid to bo handly surpsssed by tho finest German clubs. Thoy aro most forbunate in haviny; for a load- er Mr. B, J. Lang, thnn whom they could have no better. Mr, Laog presides with equal onse at tho pinno and organ, 3114 makes & most admira~ blo loader for club ar orcheatra. Tho Apollo supplieed & want ‘which had beon for & long time folt in Boslon. Ior several yonrs, tho only olub of any sirzo had boan tho Orphous Gloo Club, ‘whiuh Yeas composod en- tircly of Germnns, This Olu'a no longer oxista a8 a musical organizition, and sings only st ‘benofit concerts and such aecial oceasions. The Apollo Club bave fima rooms, which they hovo recontly ocoupled, at the corner of West snd Tremont stroets, overlowking the Common. This Club hnnuscounmr%m {u the Mondelssohn Olub, of New York, and, I boliov, the Orphous, of Philadelphia, On Baturday therawas helld 4 nother mosting of tho Radical Chib, on which ocossion Mr, O. P, Cranch rend & poom ontitled “Tho Modorn Pega- sue." This satire—for sudh it was—contained many apt allusions and excollent hits, and was writien in_ovory varlety of verso, to imitate tho difforent paces of the borso ; a8, for instance, blank verso waa mesnt to roprosent a glow wallk ; then followed an smbling metre, and soveral short, quick linea to imitate o gallop. The last balf of tho poum consisted of imita- tions of the different poots of Eu(slmd and America, very much like Bayard Paylor's *¢ Divor- sions of the Echo Club,"” which appeared sovoral yoars ago in tho Aflantie. Mr, Cranch said it a8 but just to say that his poom was writton somo years ago, hefore thoso very clever imita~ tious were publishod ; but it had never bofore ‘boon read in public, 2 A thing which addod muoh pleasure to the oc- caslon was the presonce of Mr. Ralph Waldo Etneraon, who sat next Mr, Cranch ; sud, at the oloso of tho reading, every one present was glad 1o hoar his voico, 1h & fow plongant words of ompliment to the poot-artist, for Lis versatility* 14 akill, and also for his ndmirablo rondorimg of the poom. Thore wos an endeavor, on the part of soras of those prseont, to induce Mr. Emerson to ro- post somethiug of his own; ‘'but ho eaid ** he remembored nothing, and that he had always thought the ono advaninga of = poet's growing old was that Lie lost his memory.” There woro soveral Fromiunnc mon prosont boside Mr. Emerson. 1 saw Mr, Jobn Weiss, sud across tho room tho gonial face of our Vice- President, the Hon. Honry Wilson. I said in my last that I would give som no- count of the Booioty for the Promotion of Huma- Education. This Society works wholly by privato gorrespondence among thoso who are interemted, whether a8 toachors or pupils, and does nob ublicity, nor hold any pablic scek any meetings, ut you will soe in s mo- mout how it must onewer tho purpoge of & great many nico girls through the country, who DLave not the advantigo of good tcachers at home. Thboy nddross themselves by let4ers to ita members, and the members who are toroughly competent reply in tho skmo way. ‘Tho purpose of this Scoloty i8 to irduce young ladios to form tho habit of davoting some part of of every day to tho study of n sutomatio and thorough kind.

TIE HAYES CASB. Thore can be bug little doubt of the guilt of Mr., Hayos; indeed, there was sufilciont evi- dence adduced two yoars ngo, by tho Investigat- ing Qommitteo, to convict tho “old man” of “high orimes and misdomoanors;” but it did not suit the Ropublican party just thon to 80 healthy whitewashing was in order, ¢t tho Republican Convontion thoe following year, he was renominated by an almost unanimous vote, and thus virtually the party indoraed his irregu- lar itics anid oncouraged bim to continue to do ‘business aftor the samo old approved fashion. Mr. Hayos is not what wa gonorally term s bad man ; but ho has boon sot upon by » morci- loss band of Topeka Sbylocks, who have been making money at tho expense of Hayos' ruin, Whon I oy that Hayos is nots bad man, I moan that ho did not do wrong intontionally ; but, whon sot upon by those money-sharks, L: Dbad not tho moral courage to withstand their unlawful demands, and tho peoplos money was passed over to tho banks to bo wused in privats speoulation, or loanod out to the people at from 1i¢ to 4 por cons » month on doubtful paper. Butiguoranco can bo pleaded s a partial palliation’ for thia uniawful mode of proceduro. When Mr, Hayos was first picked np by tho Ropublican party, and nomineted for tho offica which ho now hoids, Lo was & banker in & small way in o small_country town, and waa not gt all quatified to be Tronsur- <or of o State.
