An elegant sword and belt were presented to Gen. Loiis Schaffuer, Paymaster-Gepersl of 11l- inois, y 8 few of his friends Friday last.

David Parry, of the First United States Cavalry, and wife are visiing with the family of Mr. Proudfoot, at No. 494 Belden avenue. Col. Parry went through the entire Modoc war, and Teceived the sword of Capt. Jack when' that worthy surrendered. Several members of the Grand Jury yesterday visited the County Hospital and inspected the workings of that institution. They expressed their satisfaction with the mauner in which aflairs_are being run, and desire to thank the West Side Railrosd Company for the free trans- portation given them. ‘The Cook County Board of Education held a regular meeting 'at 2 o'clock yesterday after- Toon in their rooms on Randolph street: with 8. 8. Garduer i the chair. The pay-roll for * December, amounting to $1,130, was approved. Some other unimportant miscellaneous business was transacted, after which the Board adjourn- «d for one month. A meeting of the Lumbermen’s Exchange was held yesterday moniing, President McDonald in the chair, to take action in regard to the death of Mr. H. F. Getcbell, an old and respected member of the Exchange. Mr. J. H. Swan and_Mr. Wheelock spoke feclingly of tne loss the Exchange and the trade had sus- taived, and, after the adoption of suitable reso- Intions, the mecting adjourned. 1 Police Officer John Linn writes to correct an unintentional error which crept into an account of an arrest made by him on Larrabee street on the Ist inst. It appears that the driver of a wagon refused to get off the car track; that Linn attempted to arrest him and was assaulted Ly 2 mob, and that be only succeeded in getting away after receiving some eevere blows. He denies that he was intoxicated aswas alleged, and says he is not a drinking man. - Tt is getting to be an almost every-day occur- rence for the dumtny trains of the K Island aod Lake Shore & Michigan Southern roads to have windows in their cars broken by stones throwa by 5 buvs or reckless young men along tue lite from Thirty-first street to Fifty- fifth. Passengers on several occasions have narrowly escaped serious injury. The police of the Town of Lake and city should exert them- selves to arrest some of the gang and teach them a lesson. A mecting of the 40 Club,™ a literary asso- ciation recently orzanized on the West Side, was held Friday evemng at the residence of Mr. C. H. Ci No. 530 West Adams street.

H. Bisbee gave a sketch of the life of William Cullen Bryant, and Mrs. Sher- wood read from * Thanatopsis.” The affair Wwas 8 very pleasant one. The heir of a man_residing on West Adams street turned white in o single day last week. Itwas not through the faflurc of a savings Rank, or the giscovery that his wife loved an- other, or that his danghter bad run away with 3 married man, or that wheat had made a disas- astrous fuctuation. No, it was for none of these reasons, but only because his five younger dren had reccived for Christmas presents drums, bugles, accordions, air-guns, and_like sgreeanle presents, while his daughter had ot 4 stack of Wagnerian music which she insisted on trying at once. At a meeting of the Post-Office Employes’ Tuesday. Say Tuesday instead of AL, riznt, sir,” said the obsequious clerks “want the team long?” *Four or five hours, eaid the customer, as a cold sweat broke out on his_forchead; + *how much'll you charge? “Fifty dollars,” pleasuntly replied the clerk. «Fifty dollars " said the customer, as ifs shirt- collar suddenly wiited, and his knecs knocked torether like 1 pair of castanets. *1dow’t care a cuss what the girls say, 11l go around in the horse-cars and enter the parlors of her haughty sire with the humble straw clinging to my bout- heel before I will agree to make the rich fll:hcl;,, and the poor poorer. - And at SI2 a_week— and he fled from the scene with such velocity that he could be heard to whiz long after he had vaunished from the view. 7, 1cE. Lovers of the genial cocktail and the fragrant miot-julep, as_also the humbler but more numerous worshipers of the pleassut beer, have Dbegun to fear that the abscoce of frost in this Jatitude might interfere with the usual supply of jce. Without fce the cocktail is as naught, while an essential element in the manufacture of ood beer is semething to cool it with. But the philantiropic ]:'t‘enin%]ollnml comes nobly to the reseue of the sailerers, anda series of interviews with icermen published in that paper yesterdav shows that there is no present fear of an jce-f. . e “Thei: - i state that although the scason is backwa:w e crop will no doubt e properly Jarveste..

THE DRAWING OF THE TURKE A vouny married mau who had, like Napo- Ieon, much coutidence in his Star, resolved last Monday night to draw a turkey ata raflie. _He aceordingly went to a saloon where the Evil One _had prepared this particular sort of trap for the unwary, and boldly bucked the tiger, or, to speak wmore accurately, the turkey. He took chauces on twenty-eight turkevs at 25 cents cach, and on the twenty-vighth essay was stic- Mutual Aid Association held last might at the office of Assistant Postmaster Squiers, the of- ficers of the pust year were all unanimously re- elected as follows: President, C.

Waltgenbach of t¥c North Side. The or- #anization 15 now in a prosperous and happy cohdition, and there are 320 members. “The Israclites,” said the husband of a model and cconomical housckeeper, ““the Israclites may have had qualls till they couldn’t rest, and began to sizh for hash, but they were Jews and couldn’t have pork in their stews, so 1 dow’t wonder. But if the Israclites had had Tonst turkey on Tuesday, and turkey warmed over on Wednesday, and cold turkev on Thurs- day, and hashed tirkey on Friday, and turkey- bune soup on Saturday, then they’d have Gicked.

On’ the one side ‘it was urzed that the present wasnot ripe for such an orgauization, but that an_asso- ciation should be torn with 2 view of dissem- inatine information about mines_and_mining— cducating the people up to a Beard. On the other side it was contended that Chicago cuter- prise would sustain such an institution—that now was the time to organize, for if there was a delay, St. Louis or Kansas City, or somne other second-class town would establish a Board, and thien Chicazo’s opportunity to con- trol the mines ot tue West would be gone. It was finally decided, for the purpose of learning public sentiment, and what prospeet of success there was, 1o hold a mceting st the Palmer House Thursday evening.

But the great beauty lics in the fact that both organizations are of a negative char- acter, and hence a union of the two is one of the great uncertaiuties. Johm Mattocks' plan is out, but the ofspring is wofully weuk. Couk, AeNally, Stitt & Co.’s bantling s out of the shell also, but it is an_alarmingly puny chicken, The truth is, on one side there are the swallow- tallsaud men who wear stand-up collars and clean shirts, aud on the other, the sickly blow- ers aud strikers, and inveterate oflice-hunters aud begwars out of a job, who would like to be called leaders, Yesterday afternoon the respectable repre- sentative element of the Democracy et in the club-room of the Sherman House. The attend- ance was moderately large. As usual, the doors were lozked, bolted, and barred upon the press, and the preat oriinators tried to have things their own way. Henry M. Shepard #at in the bigzeest chair, and was declared the chief of the oecasion. Jerry J. Crowley acted us seratcher of minutes. A'constitution, as longr as that of the United States, and_more complicated, was adopted. The new child was christened “The Democratic League of Cook County.” There is a Chief Council, 2 Grynd Council, and town and precinct leasues. Tlie members of the Chief Council liold oflice for three years, sudone-third of their mulx‘llul:r are selected annually, com- mencing with the sceond Monday of December, 187, 'The present Chief Council was selecte {rom the tirdt twenty-one names registered. .

Other eteeteras are provided for, and the whole or- ganization may be written down as one of the most impracticable that was ever orgunized io lh)rshflr ?:D)' other county. e Constitution was adopted as read, and the following elceted o the Chief and Grand ouncils: Chief Councll—Presigent, Honry M.

TIE OTHER CROWD, of which McNally and Stitt ace at the bead, met last night in the reading-room of the Palmer House. Malcoln McDonald was called to_pre- side, and, ashe is one of those adamantine Bour- bons, he was afraid to have reporters present. A great deal of bad grammar was wasted last night, and after talking for several hours the names of some of the Committee in severyl of the precinets were agreed upon. A committee of seven, on registration, with Judge Forrester 8s Chairman, was selected. The same crowd meets at theBalmer House Friday cvening. COAIL. MEETING OF THE EXCUANGE. The Chicazo Coat Exchange held a regular monthly meeting yesterday afternoon in its- room in the Merchants’ Building, corner of La- Salle and Washington streets. A dozen mem- bers were present. William E. Johnson, Vice- President, presided, and D. McGary acted as Secretary. The minutes of the last meeting contained a resolution rescinding one that had been passed at a previous meeting, which provided for an advance of 25 cents per ton on the prices of coal, and after the Secretary read the n’:gord Mr. Hathaway moved that the rescindine reso- Iution be expunged from the minutes, but his 1motion was lost, after some talk. Mr. Hathaway also moved that the Baker brothers e reiustafed as members of the Ex- change. i It was stated that they could not be admitted under the rules, because they had no dock, and Mr. Stone sald their admission under those cir- cumstances would be establishing a bad preee- dent, and open the Exchange to retail coal- dealers.’ Mr. Hathaway said that the Meesrs. Buker were temporarily out of a dock, and urzed their reinstaltment, but_his motiod was lost bya rising vote ot 8to 6. A resolution was offered oroviding rtor the ex- pulsion of Kelley, Morley & Co., and condemn- ing their business conduct. The langunge was strong and caustie, and several members ob- jected to it i > Mr. Stone moved an amendment, striking out the objectionable language, and simply pro- viding for their expulsion. Mr. Dunn read a rule thay required the ref- erence of all matters concerning the expulsion of members to the Board of Directors, and the resolution was thus referred. A special Committee appointed at the pre- vious mecting for the purpose of stopping further shipments of coal to this city, reported that the coal shippers East had assured them that there would not be any more shipments until demanded. The report was accepted and the Committee discharged. The meeting then adjouancd. Previous to the opening of the meeting a member predicted a cold snap, and said that there were still hopes of getting good prices, unless there were bankrupt firms that would sell at any price they could get and then settle with their creditors. ” For the last three or four years, he continued, there had been somebody vho sold coal and faited, aud sctiled with the ‘creditors on a basis of 4Qor 50 per cent. Kelley, Morley & Co. owed on¢ creditor $110,000, and he wasn't a bit sorry for said creditor, whom he thought had no business to trust them, Other remarks pertinent to the subject were made by several gentlemen. ‘The Directors of the Exchenge held a confer- ence in their private room, and transacted some routine business before the Exchange met. KELLEY, MORLEY" & CO. This firm yesterday made o compromise with its creditors on a basis of 50 cents, one-third cash, aud the rest in six and nine _months, Mr. Kelley, the lumberman, who is a brother of the coal man, indorsing the paper. The creditors were qu"he numerous, and prominent among them were the Butler Colllery Company, who were interested to the cxtent of $115.000: Todd. Morris & Co,, of Cleveland, $20,000; Smith, Cant & * Co.,, of Cleveland, $17.000; A. G. Cook, Oswewo, $20,000; W. L. Scott & Co., of Erie, $15,000; E. L. Hedstrom & Co., of Buffalo, $5,000; Walsh & Backetts, Detroit, $10,000; and A. G. Yates, of Roches- ter, $8,000,—all for coal delivered to K., M. & Co. Then there was B. P. Hutchinson for $40,- 000, on account of accommodations extended by the Corn Exchange National Baok, an which he became responsible Mor. ~Will- iam Lion, a member of the Board of Trade, was on hand to’ represent §$20,000—moncy borrowed to continue the coal war. A aumber of smaller creditors were also squeezed into the little back room. The Rend- ing Company, to whom the firm owes $52,000, were telegraphed, but sent no representative. The liavilities of the firm amount to $324,000. THE BABY SHOW.

Bliss was borue to eternity in the harrowing disaster ot Ashtabula, and last night a memorial service was hela in Lower Farwell Hall, at which were present a Jarge number of those who had known him fn life, and to whom the news of his death came, one year ago, With a peculiarly s4d. sig- niticance. “Maj. Cole, the well-kuown evangel- ist, presided, and the singing was led by Mr. Frank Williams. Among the songs composed by Mr. Bliss., which were first sung, was the familiar * Hold the Fort.” No song, said Maj, Cole, that Mr. Bliss had writtea had been sung so often or with such fervency o5 this. Whether in America or in Europe, it bad proved sm universal favorite at all the revival meetings, and never ;mdzl;’: M;jerhbellxevctz‘ 50 much h1'1.1 the power of 0ng 98 when be heard it sung by thousands of Itele children fn London. l?:.yllood;': -e‘;- mons might be forgottent many had mever heard them; ¢ Hold the Fort” was in every- body's mouth. When the Major rcturned to Chicago, he met Mr. Bliss at the Brevoort Housc. The lattor was going away for a few days, and on his' return Maj. Cole was to sec bhim azain and have a long taik with him about the success of the meetings in Encland. That meeting was never held. for his friend, the sweet singer, was s00n 1o more. g *¢Sceking to 'save,” amother of Mr. Bliss ngs, Was sung s a solo and chorus. Maj. Cole invited individual expressions from the audience as to what songs had, in their opinion, becn most blessed. Mr. Williams, who conducted the sinzing, gave in his voice for “Pull for the shore,” which was then sung, and Maj. Cole grave an anecdoteillustrating its popularity among 800 little saflor-boys whom he had sung it with in one of the training-ships at Perth, Scotland. i ‘Another gentleman wanted to hear * [ am so glad that Jesus loves me.” Therequest brought forth another story from Maj. Coleand the sluging of the song. . Mr. Vanarsdal¢ followed with an anecdote showing the influchce unon a poor prodizal of the singing of -*Hallelujah, what a Savior.” That favorite was then sung with peculiar fervor. It was) followed by the singing of *Wishing, hoping, knowing.”! Maj. Cole, speaking of a talk by Maj. Whittle on the subject of assurance of acceptation with Christ, sad that Mr. Bliss, sfter hearing the serino, was more than ever {inpressed with the thought, and sat down and at orce wrote a song on this tople, % s 2 "~ *“Hore holiness give me,” was next sung. ‘The last selection was * Onty remembered by what I have done,” the words of which, Maj. Cole sald, were peculiarly dear to Mr. Bhss, for the opportunity to perpetuate whose memory be could but-thank God. He sho?ld ever recall, -with feelings of the * deepest pleasure, his association with his departed friend,—how he had been encouraged by his kindly words, his beaming looks, his devout, carnest prayers. Maj. Cole then led in prayer in behalf of the two little boys Mr. Bliss left, and the memorial service was over. MATRIMONIAL. 1876-1877. ' ‘Taken altogether, the past year has not been as good 4 one for marrying and giving in mar- riage in Cook County, at least, as was its prede- cessor. The returns from the Marriage-License Clerk's office shows a falling off for the year of 191, as will appear in the following table: JMonth. 1876, January.. 409 1877. 400 November, December.. Total oo.veere -0 . 4,432 Tuwill be seen that along in the early part of the year, except for the month of February, the ‘decrease was not very great, but for the months of July, August, and September, the falling off is very perceptible. It will be remembered— with rood cause for remembering it, too—that alongin July and August it became the proper thing todo for savings-banks to fail, and for their mavagers to fy to other and far happier, as well as safer, climes. Possibly, and very probubly, the fallures of so inany banks in which, ~ presumably, were stored the hard-earned savings of wany nwyouflxml o o 4,023 swain in snticipation time when he should lave to provide for instead of one, may have played hob, so to speak, with many a nice-laid matrimonial scheme, agd thus have contributed to this la- mentable ‘showing. Then the general hard times, and the loss of positions in consequence thereof; the oxcitement sttending the strikes, and the natural disinclination of the averaze young man to matrimony when the blast ot war Trom the Halsted street viaduct was blowing in his ears, inviting him to *‘imitate the action of the tiger, stilfen the sinews, summon up - the biood,” and *“streak the pale air ” with rioters’ gore,—sll this may have gmiven, and probably did give, .a sct-back to the formation of life-partnersnips, and helped malke the showing new presented by the Clerk’s books. Atany rate, whatever the cause or causes, the facts are that the falline off for July was twenty-five, for August cighty-cight. and for September 121. - Since then, it~ will be re. marked, the change has been all the other way. In October, usually the favorite month, the in- crease over the corresponding mounth of last year was seventy-one. November closed with an increase of fifty-three, and up to iast night December, 1877, was' ahead of December, 1576, by just sixteen. With the restoration of *the dollar of vur daddies,” and the dawn of the long-looked for improvewent in business, the returns for 1878 may give those for 1877 the back seat. . BISHOP SEYMOUR. s POLICY. A dispatch to an evening paper yesterday con- tained the following extract from the reply of the Rev. George F. Seymour, to the official communication informing him of his election as Bishop of the Dioces of Springfield: The fact that the election was unanimous im- presses me profoundly, and I cannot, I dare not, decline hastily and without deep searchings of the heart and patient waiting for Divine guldance. In response to carnest, continned praer, and the help to be derived from the counsel of friends who are quulified to advige, it I am not quallficd to say *no " at once I do not see any course open for me to pursne but to wait until the Church at large, through ler constituted suthoritics, has expressed her judgment, in which event I may be spared the anxiety and distress of deciding between the claims of my present position and the solemn ! call extended tome, s 1 belicve, under the gaid- ance of God, the Ioly Ghost, from all the clerzy, and all the Iaity present in the primary Convention of the Diocese of Springileld to become the first Bishop in the new jurisdiction. If the question comes really before me to determine, e assurcd 1 shull meet it promply in the fear of God, and beneath this bar of judgment I shall do my' best to reach a right conclusion, and immediatély ap- prise vou of the result. Tins means, in short, that he intends to wait untii he tinds out whetier he is contirmed by the standing committees and the Bisbops before he formally accepts. It was the custom 1n other days for a person elected to this high oflice to accept or decline, off-hand, but of late that habit has fallen into disuse, and it has been fuund more advisable to wait until the matter was definitely settled. Dr. Seymour himself pted the Bishoprie of ullinots and { the General Convention. Dr. | aceepted the Bishopric of Illivois and was rejected by the standing committees. For this reason ‘several ersons who have recently been clected to the high oflice of Bishop have withheld their formal consent until success was assured. Dr. Sey- mour’s friends here fecl no doubt about his ac- cepting, if confirmed, and little question as to his conlirmation, it not being decmed likely that more than eizht or ten diveeses will vote against him. s believed that he will acceot, partly beeause it will be a vindieation of himself “from the unjust charges made acainst him o few years ago, and partly because he believes he is fitted to perform™ the duties of ishop, even in as large and undeveloped a diveese us that of Springtickd. There is no question, thercfore, that an aceeptance will fol- 1ow Immedintely after confirmation, and that he will take 1o his new ficld of labor the same ability that he has displayed for so many years in New York. HOTEL MEN., THEIR MONTALY MEETING. The Hotel-Keepers’ Association beld a meet- ing yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock in the office of the fotel Jeporter, 126 Washington street. There were present Messrs. ulbert, Gill, New- mau, Wilcox, Szads, Munger, Pinny, and Wood- cock. Col. Alvin Hulbert presided, and Mr. Scott, of the Leporter, acted as Secretary. The Committce on Preparations for the TFiremen’s Tournament were given further time 1o report as to lotel rates, ete. The proposed amendment to the constitution allowing owtside hotel-keepers to join and en- joy the benefits of the Association was dis- cussed bt great length, and was finally adopted. ‘The clause provides that outsiders mav join by vaying $5 each, and enijoy all the benefits of the ‘Assochdnu without having a vote in the meet- ngs. The matter of prepaving postage was called up by Capt. Je“‘cu.pWiluox? and discussed at some lenzth. The incorect impression seemed to prevail that Postmaster Palmer wad'discrim- inating amainst Chicago hotel proprictors. Mr. Morledze, of the Walnut Street House, Ciucinnati, stated that leiters were forwarded from there without heing prepaid. It was stated that here carners refuse to wait until letters are redirected, aud thus the pro- prietors are compelled to pay the additional pdstace. Mr. Wilcox moved that a committee of two be appoiuted to confer with Postinaster Palner on the subject. Messrs, Wilcox and Woodcock were appointed the Conimittee. Mr. Rice, of the Reportlr, exhibited the model of a new fire-extinguisber, upon which_he Lad applied for vatent, and Which was dosely ex~ \ amined, and Messrs. Wilcox and Woodcock ap- pointed a Committee to investigate the feasi- bility of placing it upon all the floors of hotels, expense, of course, beinz an important copsid- eration. The following resolution was adopted: Resolred, That in the loss of J. W. Towne, & well-known and reepectahle citizen of Chicago, one of the most honorable and upright men ever engaged in the hatel business, we deplore the loss of 8 kind and generous friend whoee place will be hard to fll, and we sincerely sympathize with his famly in their great and irreparable loss. ‘The meeting then adjourned. SUBURBAN. o HYDE PARK. The Board of Trustees met at the Village Hatl Saturday afternoon at the ususl time. Al members preseot.

Mr. Tulley asked that $1,555 be allowed him out of the Forty-first strcet sewer Rescrve Fund. - The matter was discussed for some time, and referred to the Finauce Committee. After doing some miuor business the Board adjourned. The reporter met Capt. Binford at the Board, and received the information that the amount due the town publisked in the TRIBUNE 23 $198 was not correct, the sum peing much less, and that he had asked to have his accounts audited, but no attention had been paid to it. He has 4 suit pending for salary as Captain of Police $1,225, as gras insvector, $480. ———e— TESTIMONIAL TO JOHN BROUGHAM.
