After the transaction of routine business Hon. A. S. Hardy, M. P., addressing the con- vention, said he took deep interest in the humane work. He hoped that the meetin; would be a profitable one, and that the deliberations would bring about better guid- auce of mankind generally and mold it toa kindlier feeling toward not only dumb animals but all of Ged's creatures.

In conducting the educational work we need the aid of the local newspaper press schools. The public thought and heart are to day fed and nourished by the press. The publication of short practical erticies by the press of the entire country has be ry generally gladly done when asked. In this way « good work has been well begun. It is very necessary that it be continued. NEWSPAPER ASSISTANCE. For several years past it has been the prac- tice to prepare articles, timely, interesting and generally practical, all over the land, adapted to the season and as meritorious as possible, and to send them to the country press every. where. A large aggregate of newapapers have in this way aided the soci by publishing to their readers these articles. “I recommend jost heartily a continuance of this work. » a few over 13.000 weekly newspapers United States and provinces, It will cost about 2200 to send such a slip with circulars to each of these papers—a considerable sum, but a trifle compared with the vast returns which would be received.

The* Republican National league met last night at the league headquarters on Thomas | oirele and discussed District matters in their relation to the incoming administration. Espe- cial attention was given to a communication accompanying acopy of the resolutions adopted by a conference meeting of the various repub- lican organizations in this city opposing the confirmation of W. B. Webb as District Com- missioner. Several speeches were made criticising Mr. Webb's administration and his politics, and resolutions were unanimously adopted request- ing the Senate to refuse to confirm W. B.

Meeting Last Evening—Rev. Robert Johnson Elected Chief Marshal. The convention of delegates from the col- ored organizations of the city to make arrange- ments for the celebration of the emancipation, April 16, was held last evening at Green’s hall, on Pennsylvania avenue, between 17th and 18th streets northwest. There was a large at- tendance of delegates present. Mr. John W. Branson, chairman of the executive committee, called the convention to order, and Mr. W. H. Brown acted as secretary. Prayer was offered by Rev. Robert Johnson. Mr. Branson was elected temporary chairman and W. H. Brown , temporary seeretary. On motionof Mr. Brown the following committee on credentials was appointed: Messrs. Lewis Willis, Benjamin Young, James T. Washington, W. C. Chase, D. Stillyard, J. H. Gibbs, John T. C. Brown, W. G. Talifairo, and W. T. Granther. Capt. Gra- ham, Rev. Robert Johnson, John W. Freeman, Prof. Lee, A. St. A. Smith, and R. A. Arm- stead made addresses during the absence of the committee from the hall. Upon the return of the committee they reported that there were six sets of credentials from the Fourth Baptist church and they recommended the admission of two; one for the school and one for the church. Mr. W. C. Chase read the list of delegates as prepared, showing over fifty ane represented. The report was adopted. Some time was spent in endeavoring te raise the $5 for rent. and when $4.15 was collected a suggestion made that the shortage. 85 cents, be paid by the chief marshal was cheerfully ac- quiesced in by the delegates.

There was a queer couple down east, a wife through the greater part of his life at least, seemed perfectly content to let her wear them.

She thought, she said, ‘that it would be so kind o’ nice an’ convenient for John t’ slee; out t’ barn and be ing.” The old man accepted the situa- | lept for some ears at the barn, being allowed to come to the [house for his meals and “set while” in the dy t’ the horses and | (Public Ledger, Philadelphia.) ‘A SILVER EXHIBITION. Handsome Display of American Work by Messrs. Bailey, Banks & Biddle, of Philadelphia. An exhibition of silverware, said to be su- perior in every way to anything of the kind ever heretofore displayed, is now open in an apartment in the rear of the store of Bailey, Banks & Biddle. The prime object of this display is to show the great advance made by metal-workers in silver during the last dozen years or so. In the centennial exposition a number of choice objects in silver were shown. but they did not equal, either in variety, numbers or finish, those shown by the above-mentioned firm. Another thing that deserves to be mentioned is the fact that the present display is American in every particular. It is American in design; that is to say, it is original, and does not follow the old European styles. ' While the renais- sance is to be admired the newer school, if such itcan be called, offers novelty and a freshness in spirit not to be looked for in the other. The art of application in design, if not of American origin, is certainly seen in a higher state of perfection here than anywhere elve, Small. and what were then thought in- significant things, such as shells, seaweeds and leaves were not applied a few years back to crnamenting silver ware, or, if 80, only in a painfully correct manne=, the charming pictur- esqueness of late years being unthought of. The chasing and reponssé work of to-day is superior to the old, and the beautiful enamel work, with its delicious effects, so admirably introduced into many of the articles on exhibi- tion, is new. As one passes through the spacious store, lined on all sides with a great display of works of art, the quiet.dreamy light from innumerable candles, #s it reflects on the shining surfaces of the silverware exposed in a rear apartment, is barely seen through the partly opened por- titre. Entering the room, the appearance presented is one of dazzling grandeur. Scattered in pic- turesque confusion about the scene are beanti- ful cabinets and other pieces of splendid fur- niture,and at intervals handsome standing lamps, with shades of chaste and subdued hues, cast harmonious lights on the glittering sur- ronndings. And, as if to add to the charm of the scene, the tall odd clocks that one meets at different points in the room occasionally lend enchantment to the whole by their melodious chimes, On a dainty table, set off in charming fashion with a scarf, just opposite the entrance, are exposed a chased tea service, in oxidized silver, and a water piteher of exquisite pattern, with beautiful ornamentation.in enamel, of shells and seaweeds. Back of it, and forming a most attractive center piece to the exhibition, stands e oxk dining-table on which are ar- ranged numerous articles for dinner and other services, all unique in design, the whole admir- ably set off with candelabra, and dishes filled with natural flowers. At the farther end of the table is displayed what is a decided novelty in its way—crystal and silver Roman punch ser- vie. The little nooks and corners are delightfully fitted up. To the left. as one enters the apart- ment, is seen a gentleman’s dressing case, on which are exposed the various articles, such as mugs, shaving brushes, etc., that a gentleman needs in his toilet. A little further on stands an English dinner service, set upon a frail little table. over which a standing lamp throws, by means of its shade, ared beam. By the side of this, and separated from it by a luxurious looking chair, is achased silver afternoon tea or reception service, with dainty Dresden china eups and saucers. Beyond a large case, that contains children’s pap bowls, cups, porringers, knives, ete., beau- tiful in pattern, in a recess, is placed a fine iece ot sculpture, entitled “The Sleeping joy,” lighted from above, and encased by gar- net curtains and growing palms, On a table between two large cabinets, that contain silver ware, after the English and Augsburg or old German styles, is an exhibit of manicure sets, mounted in novel designs. In d | an out-of-the-way place, on the right, is a cor- ner that has been called the “club” corner, by reason of a display of articles for the festive recreations usually supposed to be indulged in by “clubmen.” In it are punch-bowls, tankards and ladles. Another exhibit that is of considerable inter- est is a collection of ivory toilet sets, decorated with chased and oxidized silver. Desks of ebony or mahogany, fitted up with all the requisites for writing, are arranged in different parts of the room, the various articles being moftnted in sterling silver. A dazzling arrangement of pierced silver bowls, orange dishes, and bon-bon baskets is exhibited to the right of the entrance of the apartment. ‘The scene is enriched by a glittering back- ground of beautiful dinner services, spread out before immense mirrors that reflect the many flickering lights of the waxen tapers and the glimmer of the polished silver. Taken as a whole. the exhibition is unique. and its value and grandeur cannot be overesti- mated, oe Moving a Hotel. From the New York Mail and Express. Another “hotel moving” has taken place at Coney Island. This time it was the Ocean house which was given “a lift.” This large hotel was erected twenty years ago, and, at that time, stood about 600 feet back from the surf, The many changes in the beach since then have washed all the land in front of it away. The hotel was placed upon piles two years since, as the indications were that at any time the foundations might be washed away. ‘This proved true, for last year the ocean had reached the hotel, but no immediate danger was feared. as the piles were 20 feet long and firmly bedded in the sand. This winter, how- ever, during a heavy easterly storm, another slice of the beach was removed, and when the storm had subsided, the hotel was left quite alone in the Atlantic. some 50 feet from shore, standing on piles. There was a probability of the sand cutting away and leaving no support for the piles, and also the danger of floating logs or ice battering them down, and it was decided to remove the building. The work was successfully accomplished, und the hotel now stands some 300 feet back from the beach. SORBET RSS: Not Amiable but Selfish. From the Baltimore News. “The man who always shuts the door after him is a very amiable sort of an individual, you would say. Wouldn't you?” The query was put by a shrewd old gentle- man whose quick, restless bright eyes indica- ted a fondness for sizing up people and obsere- ing men and things about him. “I tell you it's alla mistake. The man who always shuts the door is a slow, dry, methodi- cal sort of a fellow, with perhaps a touch of dyspepsia. He is almost surely sallow-com- plexioned and is never a man of ready jest and merry whim. . “You just watch your friends closely and you'll find the man’ yon like best is the one that makes you swear ‘oftenest, if you swear at all, because of his neglect to close the door on a cold day.” Tories Denounce Batrour.—At a conserva- tive meeting held in London yesterday, Mr. Balfour was threatened with all sorts of ‘politi- cal punishment, and several of the speakers went so far as openly to denounce him as a man who sacrificed the prospects of his party in order to wreak petty vengeance upon politi- cal opponents who had. overmatched him in de- bate. The meeting was a very exciting one. At least one member of parliament has written to Mr. W. H. Smith, the goverment leader, declaring his intentions to denounce Mr. Bal- four and his acts in the house of commons. Paerpare For Srara.

The damage by the earthquake at Costa Rica on December 29 is placed at several million dollars, Most damage was done in the cities of San Jose and Heredia and the villages of Baba, Santa Barbara, San Rafael de Heredia, Grecia and San Domingo, The edifices which suffered most in San Jose Were the cathedral, the Car- men and Merced — peso ag tome + barracks, the nat ; e etal tara the national bertraly offices and the Union bank. It may said that not a single house escaped injury. It has been necessary to close the churches. Whole streets are blocked with ruins. No trains ran until the bridges were examined and found to be in good order. Losses in San Jose amount to more than $2,000,000.
