By not only his personal efforts, but by his cenerous contributions of money did he manifest his zeat and interest, so that his zeal and his wisdom were alike practically iMustrated in the actual results which he aided to carry out.

Over a thousand workingmen assembled in the vacant lot at the corner of Twelfth and Halsted streets last evening in mass-meeting. Before the speaking commenced, a procession of about 150 men bearing torches, perambulat- ed the streets in the neighborhood, preceded by aera im and a ie without a particle of music in bis soul. In the processiot bi ee ee wages—slavery!” “Why does’ our production cause starvation?’ We want work, not chari- ty!” “We demand liberty and justice!” etc. Upon arriving at the place of meeting, the Drinter Parsons mounted the stand and spoke at considerable length, making a speech which would have done credit, for force and eloquence, | toaman of much greater pretensions. Me re- viewed the whole matter of labor troubles without’ getting excited, read some of the in- flammable posters issucd by the strikers at the East, and the articles of the Labor party’s plat- form, so-called, spoke of the railroad rioters of the Baltimore & Ohio Road, and told his hear- ers how, in’ his opinion, ‘they might or- into’ trades-unions “ and bring about an amicable settlement of the differences between capital aud labor, and did not allude to carnage and incendiarism as a means of accomplishing their end. The mob athered about, however, did bint at the possi- ility of gore, and smacked its lips at the sug- gestion. ‘There were many hard-fisted laborers, nevertheless, who cried down any allusions of this kind. Yet talk of applying the torch was nad in private, and some appeared. to thirst for blood, as the story of their wrongs was recited. As the orator alluded to instances among the brakemen of the Eastern roads who ‘were 60 reduced in: circumstances that’ their wives were driven to prostitution to put bread into their children’s . mouths, many atattered coatsleeve came up to its owner's eyes, many a fist was clinched, and teeth were shut hard together... One excitable individual inthe crowd, with disheveled red hair and’ a clay pipe in his mouth, remarked to Tue Trin- UNE reporter, who stood’ at his side, that he ‘would head a mob to do almost anything des- perste,” as he would rather be killed outright than to die by starvation. ‘After the orator, Parsons, bad fiuished his specch, resolutions were offered, whereby those resent sent words of encouragement to their Prethren in the East, and promised assistance. The documents of they “Labor party’? were then ‘opened, @and all were invited to come forward and enrell themselves. The meeting was very orderly and quiet throughout. At the ‘close, it was announced that there would be a mass-meeting held this afternoon at 3 o'clock. THE CITY-HALL. ‘The reccipts from license-fees were yesterday about $6,000.

Ryan, of the ‘West Twelfth street Station, learned from Dr. Venne that a patient of his was lying in a dying condition at No. 40 Newberry avenue. But few particulars could be gleaned until yesterday morning, when a brother of the injured man, Alphonso La. Montague, came to the West Division Police Court and procured a warrant for the arrest of Joseph Waiker, a saloon-keeper at No.49 Clark street.. The warrant was placed in the hands of Sergt. Kyan, aud at 2 o'clock Walker was locked up without bail in the West Madison Street Station. [twas then learned that La Montague’s injurics, which consist of a hadly broken nose and a fractured skull, were inflicted’ by Walker Friday night’ the Bth of © Tuly. Montague happened into Walker's” saloon, where, through the connivance of several parties, he was in- duced to take hold of au electrical lifting-ma- chine, such as have been in vogue for some months past for catching. greenborns. Walker turned _on the “lightning,” and then laughed at the Frehchman’s contortions. When let off, the Frenchman grew quite indienant, and com- plained that a saloon-keeper should treat his patrons in such a manner. Walker was also in asurly mood, and told Montague that if he or any other man caught hold -of the machine they would be treated similarly. One word brought on another until Walker struck him with a pop-bottle, the bottle ding to picces on the Frenchman’s face. Montague says that is all he knew until with ceturnivg conciousness he found bimself lying in the alley. He got home all right, and no piystelan was, summoned un- til the 1ollowing Sunday evening, when he com- plained of suffering great pain. Since then he has becn slowly failing, and ata late hour last night Was reported dying. He is unmarried, and only ey bac of age. t 11:30 last evening, Capt. Leavey dispatched Payne Fittz, Notary Public, to, take an ante- mortem statement from the dying man. Walker’s story differs materially from that told_by Montague’s relations. He claims that. the Frenchman was the areressor, and that -he only struck him with the pop-tottle in self-de- fense. The witnesses of the affair have not yet becn ascertained, and hence it cannot be learned what truth there is to cither story. _ MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. Atabout 6 o'clock last evening Officer Ed- ward Langen observed two. express wagons dashing along Wells street ata furious rate. ‘At the corner of Superior street the occupant of the year wagon called Langen to get into his wagon and folluw the fellow who was leading. Langen attempted to do so, but fall- ing, broke his right ankle badly. No one knew what the chase was about, and accordingly a curious crowd and several oflicers followed tu the West Division, whither the express wagons had gone. At the corner of Front and Fry streets Officer White arrested oue, and Inter Detective Hogan arrested. the other on Elston road. The crowd at this- time numbered several thousand, not onc of whom knew what the row was abvut. ‘The expressimenweretocked up at the sta- tion on “charge of fast driving. Their names are Albert Marlett, of No. 97 West As nearly as can be ascertained they had a quarrel about charge for loads, and Marlett struck his companion, and-then ran away. Tae officer, the only one injured in the affair, was taken to his home, No. 30 Grace street. The fracture is a bad one, and it will be months at least before he will again be about. SUBURBAN.

Present: Muirhead, Mont- gomery, and Shirley. On behalf of other parties, Trustee Coy asked that the time allowed for the commencement of the gas-works be extended to one year, as the persons who were to do the work are not yet prepared. Alter tnree hours of discussion the annual Approoriation bill was passed, amounting to 3151,900,—about $25,000 Jess than last year and tnan the Hyde Park bill.

A petition of some seventy-five residents and property-owners in the vicinity of Parkway avilion was -presented to the South Park Commissioners asking for a de- pot at that point. The petition was presented to the South Park Commissioners yesterday asternoon. They agreed to pass a resolution asking the railroads to build a depot at that point. If they found they bad power under the Park laws, they would donate a por- tion of the expense. The Rt. Rey. Bishop Chency will preach at the Baptist Church this afternoon. EVANSTON. Yesterday afternoon Philip Weis, an inno- cent-appeariug person, who has for some time swung his sign just west of the railroad, on Davis street, at the corner of Maple avenue, was lassocd by the long arm of the Jaw and brought before Justice Kearney. For sometime suspicions heve found a lodging in the minds of the minions of the law that Philip was vending cider which had reached the unrighteous stage of fermentation, and was allowing card-playing in a ‘back-room” su posed to exist in connection with the establish- ment. Philip, being thus arraigned, broazht wit- nesses to prove that no liquors, alculiolic, fer- mented, or otherwise, were sold under’ his regime, aud the legal question turned on the point whether a substance known as ‘artificial cider” came within the ordinance. Though the chemical alalysis of the concoction went to show that about 5 per cent of it was alcohol, this was considered too little to subject the bev- erage to classification as an intoxicating liquor. So the suspected Philip was sct at liberty, on the ground that the charge was not sustained. Last evening Miss Francis E. Willard, the cele- brated temperance laborer and co-worker with Mr. Moody in Boston, led the prayer-meet- ing in the Methodist Church. Miss Williard, having served with zeal in the good temperance work just completed at Lake Bluff, is resting in this her old home, - The church was filled. —————— THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE PRINTERS. To the Editor of The Tribune. New Yors, July 19.—An injustice bas been done me on two different occasions by your correspondent Carroll.” Some several weeks since he stated that I had been engaged by Mr. Reid, of the Tribune, to rat his office, which at the time of his writing was not true. I was not eugaged by Mr. Reid tor any such purpose, nor was L engaged at the time of his writing. True, I am at present with the Tribune Company, though Iwas not engaged until: the very day of the strike. Iam charged with having bargained with the Tribune Company, and that 1 was to, and did ,receive $2 500 for taking the office out of the Union. This is falsein every particular, asIdid not receive one cent for such service. Hoping that you will do me the favor to correct these statementa, 1 am, with respect, ~W. P.

Musio and the Drama—Patti, Albani, Bu- binstein, Nilason, and Irving, The Preture-Galleries----Characteristies of Fashion- able Costume--Gen. Grant. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Loxpon, Eng., July 7.—Describe London at the height of the season? “ Would thou couldst!” The exigencies of the present age have taught us to do many. things with great rapidity. When the sun paints our pictures, and the lightning. carries our messages, the speed of thought should be much’ accelerated to keep pace with the geneaal swiftness of life. Perhaps the result of all this hurry is just the coutrary. The faster it all goes on, the more difficult docs thought become; and, from the contrasts of the present day, we shall soon have to say, not “‘as quick as thought,” but ‘as slow as thought.” But now for such thinking and observation as circumstances allow. THE PINE ARTS are matters of great interest in Chicago, and it will, therefore, not be out of the way to men- tion some of the pleasures which London at this time offers in the departinent of high ‘es- theties. We may first speak of a Philharmonic Coucert, in which we heard a well-knowd over- ture of Beethoven’s scarcely as we]l given 2s we have heard it at the Harvard Symphony- Concerts in Boston. Spohr’s Symphony, ‘fhe Power of Sound,” on the other hand, was per- formed with great perfection of color and finish. The concerts given at the Florai Hall take place in the afternoon, and are numerously attended. The music is entirely operatic in its character. and one -has the pleasure of hearing for five shillings sterling most of the singers who cannot be comfortably heard at the Opera for less than a guinea. Among these, Patti still retains her pre-eminence, which, however, is very nearly approached by Albani, the young American prima-donna, whose voice, exceeding- ly well trained and developed, retains that charm and freshness of youth which a voice loses, as well as a face. There is also 2 won- derful singer, Mme. Marimon, who gives with ease the almost impossible arla from Mozart’s “Magic Fiute,” whose roulades lie in great part above the compass of the average soprano. Anew tenor, named Gayarre, is received with much favor, but he does not renew the tradi- tions of Mario; nor is there any basso who can be. mentioned in comparison with the ancient ‘Lablache. Some days after hearing these artists, we at- tended RUBINSTEIN’S CONCERT : at the Crystal Patace. The first part of this was mainly occupied with the performance of a symphony, composed by the distincuished piamist himeelf. The work was yery long, varied, and intricate, and Rubinstein conducte the orchestra from’ memory, with no music be- fore him, which was certainly a wonderful feat. He’played also jmany pieces by other masters; among which was a long and ditlicult concerto of Beethoven's, rendered also from memory. At the end of the concert hescemed much fatigued, and surely not without good reason. The pub- lic, clamoring for a last sight of him, were dis~ appointed, and were forced to disperse without this additfonal gratification. z Let wwe add-that, at the Floral-Hall concert, the “encore” nuisance, as some call it, was in excess of anything { ever saw before. Nearly every piece on the programme was encored, and 60 there were really two. concerts given where only one was promised and paid for. NILSSON IN MARGUERITE first attracted our steps to Her Majesty’s Thea- tre at the Haymarket, which has just been se- opened after years of disuse. The house is completely draped with yellow satin, and looks as fresh and gay as possible. The ladies appcar at the front of their boxes like pictures ina bright frame, but witha dark background. It is not so social an audience as’ that of our American theatres, and the enjoyment of the programme is probably not height- ened by sympathy to the same degree as with us. On the other hand, people visit their friends in the seclusion of the opera-box, and tempting ices are offered at the door between the acts. We tound our lovely prima-donna looking a little older than when we saw her last. Her voice, tov, seemed to nave lost a little of its exquisite charm, but her personation of the character of Marguerite was one of absorbing in- terest. Her simplicity and earnestness made the whole story true,—the misplaced confidence, the overwhelining affection, as well as the tragical succession of cireumstances which ren- ders the plot so powerful. Faure, the popular French baritove, is certainly a devil ufter Goethe’s own heart,—gracefni, elegaut, witty, and us wise as wickedness can be. AT THE SMALLER THEATRES, the realistic and sensational drama scems just now to prevail. One of them, the Olympic, is crowded nightly by those who wish to see Rue Scuttled Suip,”? a drama written by Charles Reade, upon a theme not unfamiliar in nautical annals. ‘The situations are highly wrought; but, exeepting the interest of the story, the play has little merit. At the Lyceum Theatre, the foremost tragedian of the London stage is playing in “The Lyons Mail,” a story of French Revolutionary times, which turns upon the ac- cidental resemblance between a high-toned gentleman aud a feloa who comuinits highway-robbery ands murder ~—_upon the stage, and whose crimes are charged upon the good man who has the misfortune to resemi- ble him in appearance. Mr. Irving acts these two parts to admiration, and keeps up the tike- ness and the dissimilarity in an astonishin: manner. He is a slender, dark man, of poweriul temperament, and his great successes havemade hin a distinguished personage in London so- ciety. ‘THE PICTURE-GALLERIES of London are much thronged.during the sea- son. Amateurs start before 10 a. m. to visit the Academy Exhibition, and even then find crowds of peopte before their favorite works of art. The Grosvenor Gullery is also very. ‘popular this year. It contains much that is conspicuously good, and some things which are couspicuously bad. Among the first, Burns Jones’ pictures are most. promitent, both for originality of conception, aud for great labor of finish and detail. Though not strictly pre-Rapbaelite, they show a stroug sympathy with the methods of that school, aud recall many pictures seen in the galleries of Antwerp and Brussels. Still, the pictures have new merits of theirown. They do not so en- tirely sacrifice the coup d’a:il to details as do the old masters of the Flemish school. They. make us feel that, in Art as in Nature, new beauties are born in every country. Among the bad pictures, we mention with re- gret a countryman of ours, Mr. Whistler, who occupies a good deal of share and some atten- tion with paintings of clothes which contain no body, the clothes themselves being poorly paint- ed. These pictures remind us of the old bumer- istic advertisement: ‘* Found, a knife without a blade,—the nandle also being wantiug.” The! may be the freaks of aman of genius; but, if they are, the man should make haste to show his genius before its absence shall lead us to inter its non-existence. Some niyht-studies of London Waters called Nocturnes, also bear the name of Sir. Whistler, and seem tc suggest that he can do better than he has yet done. IN THE NATIONAL GALLERY, so rich in works of the great masters, one sees with sorrow that some of the best Claudes have becn restored, and sre now seen through a glass. It is sad, in one short hfe, tosee pictures grow old, and to look at them after restoration is like seeing an ancient beauty in her rouge and powder. The marks of age are not beau- tifying, but they are at least genuine. I think also that one or two of the Turner pictures at this gallery are -now seen under glass. The Rembrandts of-the gallery, mostly portraits, are exceedingly good and in perfect preserva- tion, as are some interesting works of Gains- borough and Sir Joshua Reynolds. A very grandiose sketch of a dead Christ, accompanied. by two living figures, is supposed to be by Mi- e] Angelo, and deserves the honor of so high a paternity. ‘As the art of the tollette fs, or onght to be, a department of the esthetics, it -may jnot be here to relate that ‘THE COSTUMES OF HIGH PASHION in England to-day certainly suggest the inter- vention of the popular painters of the day. Of all that is artitlcial and dispuising, the long train alone remains. Hoops, bustles, and over- skirts have departed, and the clusely-clinging dress of cashmere or of crape shows the outline of the figure, while the exposure of the bust seems. to have no limits other than those of the pleasure and - convenience of the ladies who. biend dress and ’ ‘undress in such striking proportions. Soft woolen fabrics of blue or white are worn at fetes and garden-parties, and are trimmed with silver or gold braid,—mostly with the. former. The hair fs confined by classic fillets of gold, in- terspersed with ferels. Outside this“ simple device, however, it may be worn as wildly as one may choose to wear it. Some heads of this. season certainly suggest the mad-house cell,— all the old decorum of parting and smoobting being at end. and the short-cut more concealing: the forehead; while sometimes a crazy pile of curls and puffs makes one wonder why anybody should suppose any one mode of dressing to be more decorous and orthodox than another. a THE LICENSE IN COLOR - quite equals that of form.. The brightest pinks, blues, and yellows be worn; so may the most dingy and indistinct hues. Lonion mud and London smoke may appear in one corner of the gay assemblage; in another, you may see a rainbow of contradictions, uniting the colors which are usually considered incom patible. Neither does age here imply that modest withdrawal from splendor and contrast which is elsewhere considered decorous. The English dowager of 7U and upwards may flaunt in any color she .likes best,—no severe chorus of young relatives sitting in judgment upon her, and saying, ‘Grandma dear, at your age!’ With all this,-the English peuple are by 20 means devoid of taste. They bave also a love of moderation and: reserve in many things. It isthe madness of the world, the great, wild, unthinking world,.which causes the votaries of. Fashion here to be “‘so wild in’ their attire.” ‘And we can easily believe those who tell us that London is far pleasanter for poor folks when this swift hurly-buriy is over, aud when the rational pleasures, in their rational measure, re- assert their heloful rule. THE LATE CUIEP-MAGISTRATE OF THE UNITED STATES is still here, though the excitement caused by his arrival bas somewhat abated. He has beeu treated by Royalty and Aristocracy as an ex- Royal personage. On being complimented npon the honors paid him, he speaks, modestly enough, of the honors paid to the country in his person. Yet there are those who think that this quasi or pseudo Royalty of his hasgone far enough, and that he will do well to intrench himself in the simplicity fit for the representa- tive of acountry in which universal humanity ig supposed to be sovereign, and in which the greatest honor is to have served faithfully, aod to have retired from otlice without blame or dotta Warp Howe. WAUKESHA. Cool Weather—A Hop at the Fountain House —Mrs. Gibbs’ Concert. Spectat Correspondence of The Tribune. Waourssna, Wis., July 20.—Nearly every one suffers occasionally the misery of a constantly- reeurring strain, that runs on for days, and sometimes weeks, as the monotonous accom- paniment to all thought and action. Mark Twain gave to the world an illustration of this in. his elaboration of all the windings in and out of Punch, brothers, punch with care— Punch in the presence of the passenjare- It is the fashion to call’mental idiosyncrasies by long Greek derivations: stealing is klepto- mania; lying, pseudomsnia; and, the other day, I read of a new term for. using the right word in the wrong place, and vice versa. Will not the wise mental doctors put on their glasses and give my disease a name? For twenty-four hours an old school-song has been ringing its changes to all my uprisings, down- sittings, and thoughts afar off. The words run in this wise: Ohow cold the winter-weather! All fs sorrowfa) and drear, And the north wind whistles radely— No bright sunbeam shineth near. s Passing through the grounds at Bethesda, yesterday morning, Isawa few invalids, wrap- ped in overcoats and blanket-shawls, huddled together in one of the spring-houses, drinking tne cold wateras if under protest. ‘'T’will freeze before night,” said one bluc-looking in- dividual from New Orleans. ‘ Wish { had my furs,” chattered a fresh, bright girl from Texas. A volume of smoke rolled from the chimners of the Fountain House, showing that the people- up there had succumbed to circumstances, 1nd were comfortable. Surely this coolness will not last. It is a duly freeze corresponding to a Jauuary thay; an earnest of the coming autumu; an assurance that cold and heat, sum- mer and winter, day and night, shall not cease. THE INAUGURAL HOP at the Franklin House was given Jast, Saturday night, and was very much like similar entertaiu- ments of preceding summers. The 10 o’clock train brought a numbér of guests, and filled up the hall, There is no difficulty in finding ac- commodations, however, both at the hotels and in private families; for it-is literally true that, in the summer-time, every other house is a boarding-house. The community is largely made up of farmers, merchants, and others who have retired from business on small incomes, and settled here on account of the pleasant and healthful location and the cheapness of living. ‘The majority of these are willing to make a few dollars by filling all available rooms, for several weeks in the summer, with visitors; and the re- sult is, that accommodations are ‘ample, and prices down to a gold basis. 3 ‘MUSICAL. 5 A musical entertainment, by way of a prelude to Mrs. Gibbs’ concert, was given at Mrs. Hop- kins’, on West Diviggon street, Wednesday eve- ning. The concert Sccurred last night, anda full house proved the popularity of Mrs. Gibbs and her pupiis. The first part was mainly by different members of the class, and was very charmingty begun with an instrumental duet by Misses Ferta and Kata Jackson. During the second part, Mr. J. B. Williams and Mrs. St. Jonn, of Janesville, quite delighted the audi- ence with their cultivated voices -and superior styleotsinging. Ahome quartette was ren- dered very sweetly: “O hush thee, my babie!”” Mr. Charies Reade gave two piano-solos; but ab indifferent instrument detractea from the merit of {the performance. On the whole, the entertainment was a successful affair, and Mrs. Gibb's annual concerts are now established in- stitutions, and will be put down among the pleasurable events to be anticipated every sea- son. The delay in opening the hall, and in the hour of commencing, was provoking to the pa- tience of those unacquainted with the habits of the town. Lack of promptness is one of its cardinal virtues; coucerts, commencements, and church-services do not begin, as a rule, until a half or a quarter of an hour after the time ap- pointed. suspicion. ITEMS. During 2 severe thunderstorm, the other day, Mr. Dexter Bullard’s house was struck by light- ning. No more serious damage occurred than a considerable fright to the twenty or more boarders. The College-Campus shows a base-bsll field and an area of plowed ground. Mr. J.C. Plumb, of Janesville, has undertaken the work of im- provement-and adorament. Suitable walks will add materially to the comfort of the students; and the trees, if properly cared for, may, in the course of time, become the classic groves gener- any: suppoged to surround educational institu- tions. A dozen or more street-lamps, scattered about at different corners, serve to make darkness visible. A nd union Sunday-school excursion to the Soldiers’ Home is advertised for next ‘Thursday. The Presbyterians are calcimining and re- seating their church; ana the Congregational- ists are recarpeting theirs. From age ap pearances, neither house of worship will be ready for occupancy next Sabbath. Prof. A.A. Fuller has been reappointed to the charge of the Union School. Prof. I. N. Stewart, of this place, is the Principal-elect of the Berlin High School. Mr. David Horning is attending the State Teachers’ Association at Green Bay. Mr. Joseph Wildish, of Davenport, Ta., is spending a few weeks here. Mr. Farr, of Manistee, Micn., and Mr. J. M. Nickel, of Chi- cago, are in the village. The Sunday papers are now brought by a” special messenger from Brookfield; so we are not without news from the outside world. Quixore QuicKsicnT. ——— MICHIGAN AVENUE. ‘To the Editor of The Tribune.
