“TXULTINGLY SINGS” —-—. Bich Programmes Offered to Christ- mas Worshippers. IN CHURCH AND CHAPEL. Hymns, Songs, “Marches, Carols, Anthems and Oratorios, NDER THE ELECTRIC LIGHT. The Streets Invaded by Animated Crowds of Gift Purchasers. There let the pealing organ blow, To the full-volced choir below, When Christ came into the world the shepherds who happened to be awake on the morning of the Nativity were absorbed, we ave told, in idle conver- | sation, When such music sweet Their hearts and cars did greet ‘As never was by mortal finger strook; Divinely warbled voice Answering the striny As all their souls The air, su least ‘With thousand echoes still prolonged each hoavenly close. ‘The morning stars, it seems, and the angelic host were the first to recognize the signifleance of Christ’s appearance upon the earth, ar they sang together for joy. But the burden of their song was caught up by the sons of man and has never since been hushed throughout the world. On the anniversary of the event which is thus celebrated the holy words ring out with redoubled sweetness and all Christen- dom is flooded with melody, This 1s the one day of the year that the choir can call its own; for the success of the Christmas services depends almost wholly upon its exertions. Music is the at- traction that fills the church, though a short sermon appropriate to the dey may be listened to without impatience. Nor is the choir unconscious of its tem- porary importance, and every effort is made to pre- pare such @ musical treat as shall reward the congre- gation for its kind attention. To-merrow’s services in this city and its vicinity promise to be fully up to the accomplishment of previous years, and the holi- day visitor or resident who belongs to no church or denomination will be pretty sure to find something to his taste in the following array of Christmas pro- grammes :— pture took ; At Trinity Church the following programme will be rendered :—Opening voluntary: march from Raff’s Leonora $ processional hymn, The Faith- ful Shep este Fideles, arranged by Thunder; Kyrie, Creed, Sanctus and Gloria in Excelsis, from Haydn's First Mass; Christmas Can- tata, Gode.

In many respects New York is a unique city. Its people are as peculiar as its shape and its customs are its own. One of the latter was especially noticeable last evening, when scores of thousands of reputable people poured out upon the streets and leisurely went from store to shop, from wareroom to bazaar, looking at the holi, day displays. Some went to buy, but the majority went to see. The city is divided into three general divisions. Broadway, from Fourth to Fortieth street, is one see- tion, the Bowery is a second aud the two avenues, Sixth and Eighth, make the thir. From each of these run lateral subsections, which, like tributaries mighty stream, swell the main channel of trade and traders. These were well filled last night. So were the cross stceets—Grand, Fourtesnth, Twenty+ third and the smaller avenues in which the spirit of barter i# gradually, but certainly, infusing new and profitable ideas, Cold and sharp and entting as the air was on this occasion, it was so much more pleax- ant than the briek, incisive dust propeller of the afternoon that lounging was not uncomfortable and gazing in the windows was not necossu ily provoea- tive to pneumonia, IN THE DOWERY. ‘The Bowery was brilliantly illuminated, ‘There are many houses of refreshment, saloons, beer gardens and dives, as well as sundry places of entertainment on the Bowery, all of which are gorgeously lighted up, #0 that sometimes the entire length of that an- cient promenade was cheery as a ballroom. So it wes last night. Indeed, it was cheerier than usual, for dry goods stores, shoe stores, toy shops and candy bazaars, that ordinarily close early ih the even- ing, joined flames with the rest and flashed the flicker of their kerosene into the general illumination, ‘The family element was particularly strong in the Lowery—tather, mother and ali the children made a happy party as they slowly paced from window to window, examined the big dolls, priced the Christmas greens, ah’d and ah’d at each particularly pretty or at- tradtive exhibit, and good naturedly bore the push- ings of the crowd, the tude actions of rongh boys J the incessant pailing and hauling of the neigh- ‘The sidewalk trade on the Bowery and Grand strect is zomething worthy of notice. In this respect these stroots are like certain parts of London, where hardly & foot of space is left for the passengers, the rest being occupied by hucksters and pediers, The police apparently act on the theory that everything is per- maissible in holiday tines, or rather they don’t act at all. Whole blocks are blockaded by these pertina- cious pediers with their baskets of evergreens, trays of cheap jewelry, boxes of socks and stores of cuff buttons, cravate, tin dogs, whistles, canary virds, handkerchiefs, lead pencils and bananaa, The dealers are as enterprising as the old clo’ men on Chatham street who make no more Rossini'’s | fuss about pulling a mer in from the street than they would over a pinch of snuff, It would be folly to ask, “Who deals with such people?” Every- body deals with them, They sell cheap goods at Prices fabulously and ridiculously low, They have no rent to pay, and as one of them cleverly re- marked last night, ‘a three-cent stud will Keep a cop good natured for a week.” Wherover there was @ t, @ tray 01 jtand ra there was a crowd. There was no trouble, no confusion, no pickpockets, but a general scheme of good nature was apparently in uni- yersul favor, ON THE WEST SIDE, No more brilliant spectacle has been seen in this country since the foundation of the world than the Numan panorama, i) by electric flames, on Fourteenth strect ‘last evening. The night was per- fect, the crowd immense, the light dazaling. From all parts of the city, by elevated and sur ace road, by “bus” and car and human locomotion, people thronged to that section of the city where wealth and experience have joined hands to create a fashion- able centre for trade. Long lines of men, women and children poured up and down the adjacent ave- nues and others came from Broadway and the east, ‘The multitude was greater than man couldeasily num- ber. They moved as ad and with as much dit- ficulty as the Fourth of July concourse marches up Broadway. ‘The fences all along the line were occu- pied by the advance guard of t1 —a kind of picket men. ‘These ingenious searchers for wealth had squatted, so to speak, on the iron fences, and there, with stentorian voices, made known the excellence of their wares. They affect picture frames, woolly dolls, tin soldiers, Christmas wreaths, worsted work, flowers, dyed atts, woodenware and auto-peripa- tetikons. Further on’ are the great dry goods marts, where, going outside of their original venture, the proprietors offer to a dazed and astonished city all sorts and conditions of goods, articles of vertu, everything that can be worn from a hat to a boot, and “notions” in stationery, hardware, engraving and hot chocolate. Z ‘That all these places, whether in one part of the city or another, were crowded ind well patronized last night is well understood. It is not of them we write, but rather of the greater army of would-bo pur- chasers who were, geal content to wander up and down the chilled payements, pleased with the rattles and tickled with the straws of fashion exhib- ited in the windows and stacked up by the doors, ‘The bright stars shone through the spacious firm: ament on high, and in the clear cold of the night seemed to burn their way through the heavens. Fur up above the noisy street, on a level with the Mansard roofs, hundreds of feet above the lake ye strung on a wire rope, blazed the electric light that put the moon to blush and dazed the very stars. Far up and down the crowded street it threw its fiery rays und made the place like noon. Every face was visible, the stonts on the street sone in the light, shadows darted here and there, memoranda were made, notes were read, necks were stretched as wondering"men looked at the strange convenience at their service, and often horses started to run as if struck by a sudden fear. Tens of thousands loitered on the street. In the great shop windows quaint, fancies attracted their at- tion. In one was a doil’s party. She and her brothers and sisters received their little mates, clad as the tuiries dress, radiant with jewels. In another was a picnic scene. On a great greensward dotiod with trees and in the rear of an elegant country house was a group of ladiex with their attendant cavaliers, These and other odd features were the con- stant theme of admiration. The groupings near these great lass windows were peculiar and full of interest. The kind of people referred to in the prayer book as “all sorts’’ were the kind that assembled there. Rich and poor jostled each other. Men and women, black and white, old and young, the polished and the vulgar— each finding something to lookat, admire and wish for. Now and then the unyielding basket of an errand boy made an unpleasant impression here and tire, re- sulting in a remongtrance, a shove and considerable impadence. Now and then rude little boys annoyed dear old ladies, or trod sharply on a veteran corn. Now and then a mysterious wuisper from the watch- ful detective broke up a gang and scattered a group ot pickpockets, But, as # rule, the universal feeling and aring was that’ of good humor and jolly good nature. ‘THE CRUSH ON BROADWAY. But as all roads lead to Rome so all streets aid Broadway. Great as the crowds were on the streets referred to they were greater and denser und more cosmopolitan on the main artery of the city. It is become the fashion in the mammoth warehouses above Thirteenth street und toward the upper part of Madison square to arrange their cost- jest fabrics in artistic form m their great show windows. Dealers in dry goods exhibit duumy women, lay — figures with pretty faces, attired in gorgeous evening or street costume; drape elegant shawls fantastically in an interior, deftly display rare laces or expensive silks, auddn) many ingenious ways known to the modiste’s artat; tract the eye of the passer. Jewellers fill their” wii dows with ponderous silverware, with choice yems, exquisitely set and with exquisite designs in bronze or precious metals. About such as these the t hoi poll circied until lute last night. It would be diflicult to overestimate the vast gatherings that as- sembled infront ot these trading palaces. Thousands of dollars had been expended in securing the treasures ofa ingle window, aud im all the many windows of a score of stores hundreds of tho ds’ worth were placed on view. As it was on Sixt. Eighth ave- nues, 80 it was on Broadway. There was a double current, often conflicting, always moving, restless, curious and easily pleased, going up and down, up and down, like the panther im his cage. At certain b pear points the crowds stopped. ‘There are several picture stores on the line, and at their windows there ‘was constant pressure and pushing. Occasionally one of the crowd would make a break tor the inside of the store, but a rule purchasers went in direct and those in the crowd passed on. Ot dealings with hucksters, pedlers and itinerant yenders there was no end. Evergreens and woolly dogs seemed to be the favored articles of purchise.

Littie fellows who warmed their hands by blowing their fingers flat- tened the nose of curiosity against the chilly glass, and gazed longingly at the tempting wares’ within, Cornucopias hung | in garlands across the windows, and great Christmas boxes filled with candied fruits and all manner of luscious goodies were piled high in the windows. — As in the stores where jewels and knickknacks were sold so in these, dense crowds of purchasers pushed and shoved impatient for atteution. In oue great mart the crowd Wax so great that betore others were allowed to enter policemen were requested to guard the door, If continuous buying and selling ure any test of times these are not hard times. If, on the other hand, a multitude of beggars can be taken ax an indication, then the times are hird indeed, ‘This was especially noticeable last evening, when all » thorougnfares were invaded by xtra force of these peripatetic nuisances, Browdway, from Thir- teenth street to Thirty-tourth street, is run down with earned their rest.

William Lloyd is pastor. The church and school are not yet ten months old, but it alreddy has two infant classes, one of which numbers forty-two children; three Bible classes, one of which numbers forty adults, besides several intermediate classes; so that last night there were 240 persons, young and old, to re- ceive gifts from Santa Claus, A medium sized Christ- mas tree, with vari-colored lights, stood in the chan- celund piles of books, candy boxes, &c., stood in front of it. The programme consisted of an cmap overture, Warren’s ‘Heart of the Andes,” irably rendered on the piano by Miss Welsh; a duet overture from “William Toll,” onthe same instrument, by Miss Fox and Mrs, Bischoff, wife of the organist of the church; cornet solos, by Mr. Arthur Bent, of the Seventh regiment; oreading by Miss Van Nite, formerly # member of Mr. Lioyd’s church in Poughkeepsie, but now of Bos- ton University, together with addresses by Rev. Drs. C. H, Gardner, W. 8. Drysdale and C, T. Richards and the pastor, and’ songs ‘by the school, consisting ot words and music by Mr. H. A. Bischoff, organist. One of the infant classes presented Mr. Bischoff with a handsome silver mounted ebony baton, and Mr, Lloyd was presented with a gold pencil on behalfsof the iirst baby buptized in his chureh, Mr, Bischoff’s child, The married men and women in the Bible classes were left out in the cold as au evidence of the Sunday school’s appreciation of single blessedness. But everybody else was happy and delighted. The festival was unique in this— that every person, young and old, who received a present, brought a present also to be given to some poorer person—clothes, shoes, groceries. OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE GENEROUS. ‘The Sisters of the Good Shepherd, at Ninetieth strect, East River, have about five hundred inmates lodged in their several classes. Few, if any, of these are ever remembered by their trionds, and hence this appeal, that they also may share in the good cheer of this happy season. The House of the Holy Family, located in Second avenue, near Eighth street, will gladly accept any gone, the charitably inclined may feet disposed oFie foundlings will enjoy their Christmas tree on the 28th inst.

Although the Sisters of St. Dominic are com} tively new in this field of labor they will gladly ac- cept such aid as their friends give them, so us to afford the inmates of their house, No. 109 East Twenty-eighth strect, a substantial enjoyment of Christmas Day. These Sisters also give food to such hungry as apply at their doors, besides visiting the sick poor at their homes. LOOK OUT FOR THEM. - Mr. A. 8. Brown, Superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph Company, has issued a circular and sent it to the customers of the company, cautioning the public against impostors, who represent them- selves as messengers of that company, and who make a practice of soliciting Christmas and New Year’s gifts for messengers, Theae parties, the circular states, generally have long lists of business men and ropresent themselves as the. authorized agents of the telegraph messengers. Mr. Brown denounces sueh’ persons as swindlers and asks that they be handed over to the police. He states that no person is per- mitted to solicit or receive Christmas or New Year's gitts for the messengers or other employés o? the company. ie alibvahenaeh » MRS. STEWART'S CHARITY. etirrrsrenay “When the fact first became public that Mra, Stewart ‘Lid, through Judge Hilton, invited the managers of the Mount Sinai Hospital to send to his office for a ‘@iaritable donation the impression was general among the Jews that the invitation had been sent to the Jewish charitics alone and that Mrs. Stewart had in making her donations to other charities sent her check instead of inviting a call upon Judge Hilton. In- vestigation shows thatevery one of the fitty aud more charitable institutions to which Mrs. Stewart gave a fixed sum were treated in precisely the same way as the Jewish institutions—namely, a note was sent in- viting a call for the money at A. T, Stewart & Co.'s store, and, of course, in every case the presentation of the letter of invitation was iollowed by the prompt payment of the sum designated in it. THE GIFT TO THE FOUNDLINGS, Mr. John O'Brien, treasurer of the New York Foundling Asylum, gratefully acknowledges the re- ceipt of a donation to the, institution of $250 from Mrs. A. T. Stewart and a similar sum from Mr, Henry Hilton.” { WHAT A HEBREW THINKS. fo rne Eprron or THE Henaup:— Wiitle Mrs. Stewart's acts of benevolence ,and her generous gifts desegve commendation, the mediam she chose to convey the. $500 to the Hebrew Orphan Asylum was one not to be commended by a large number of her fellow citizens, either Hebrew or otherwise, We are of those who believe that no gen- tleman who has sufficient self-respect to feel an in- sult but has a right and should resent it, at least by ignoring in every way the party who gives it. ‘This is just what Mr. Seligman did in refusing to accept Mr. Hilton as the medium of communication from Mrs. Stewart to himself. If Mra, Stewart or Mr, Hilton had sought accommodations at a public house in any other country and had been met with the same rebuff upon their nationality as was publicly given to Mr. Seligman by Mr. Hilton every American citizen would have felt with them the insult, and ju: tifel them tor hing their hands entirely from any contact whatever with him. If Mrs. Stewart has money to give to objects of benevo- lence and a heart to do so (which we believe she has) the easiest, most direct and com- mendable way, especially when the iustitution is in her own city, is to send her personal check in some way, not by the nan whom she must have known would be odious and offensive to the president of the beggars, and Fourteenth street at might is as bad as ‘Twenty-third street is by day.

A SHOW WINDOW SMASHED AND RIFLED OF WATCHES AND JEWELRY. Edward J. Wilkinson keeps @ small store at No. 69 Centre street, with various valuable unredeemed pawnbroker's pledges exposed in the window. Just as darkness was setting in last evening, Mr, Wilkin- son, senior, was behind the counter waiting on acns- tomer, his son, Fdward, was outside the counter and a younger brother was in the back room. Tho Wilkinsons heard talking outside thetr window, but paid no attention to it, Suddenly, however, they heard a crash of glass and sow «! least two pairs of busy hands trying to snatel the valuables in the show window. Old Mr, Wilkinson rushed to the window, while the elder son ran behind the counter a seizing a revolver, fired two harmless shots in the direction of the burglars, Finding the door fastened he threw himself through the glass, cutting his lett hand and forchead badly, But the cracksmon had escaped with all they could lay hands on. ‘The younger brother trying to open the door found it fastened by a snap Jock which the robbers had adroitly adjusted before breaking the window, ‘The Wilkinsons did all they could to find some trace of the thieves, but were utterly ata loss to guess whence they came or whither they had gone, ‘The neighbors say that they saw two men go up to the window, where they were shortly joined by another couple, who hung aronnd the door. The theory is that the latter pair clapped on the snap lock while the former broke the glass and made for th booty.

PRESIDENT WHITE'S RECOLLECTIONS Ol HIg ” LECTURES AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY ‘‘A Lite ERARY MAN AND MoRR.” Irmaca, N. ¥., Dec. 22, 1878. President White, of Cornell University, where Bayard Taylor was a non-resident lecturer, gave afew reminiscences to-day of his former associate. “There dwell in my memory,” he said, “many de- lightful reminiscences of Bayard Taylor; but my closer relationship with him began when he accepted the lectureship in German literature in Cornell Uni- versity, Iwas led to propose him for this duty by acriticism of his which struck me as much abovo what I had before supposed he was able to give, and I was not disappointed in the result. From the first his success was great, His lectures on the early German poetry—the ‘Min- nesingers” and the “Niebelunger Lied”—at once aroused an interest in German literature and histori- cal studies; but most valuable of all his discourses were those upon the great modern poets, Lessing, Goethe, Wieland, Herder and the rest. The influ- ence of these upon the students who thronged his lecture room was very marked. They showed his best characteristics—his thorough knowledge and full appreciation of the literature, combined with an understanding of the authors as men. All this he brought to bear upon his hearers, not only in stimu- lating the love of culture and attainment, but in building up their nobler aspirations. “Of these lectures that upon Lessing exercised per- haps the deepest influence. There was 1m it, from first to last, such a deep sympathy with the man 2s well as ‘the writer, and such feeli for what was ood and beautiful and true in all his works, that is hearers went away not merely instructed, but made more manly and earnest. His leet not simple efforts to parade his extent of knowledge, nicety in distinctions and sublety in comparisons, re lthe present whatever in his subject Was of eterna) worth, INFLUENCE OF HI8 LECTURES. “The effect upon.those who heard him was very marked. The zal for studies in the German bg bei and literature was greatly stimulated. Many of tl students here owe their first impulse in anything like real literary culture, as distingnished from that which passes conventionally under that name, to theso lec- tures. But there was stimulus in them to something higher than this, to good and manly effort in every work and calling. It is in thinking of this that I most deeply lament Mr. Taylor’s death, He belonged toa body who were literary men and much» nore, whose purposes were high, whose patriotism was deep, men whose whole influence was of the very best. My earnest hope is that their success, so legitimate, so. honorabie, may stimulate those who are coming after him. “This appreciation of Mr. Taylér’s influence upon the student is not merely that cf his colleagues, It was certainly the prevailing sentiment cris our undergraduates, A very striking example of this was seen when he came to discharge bis duties here, The whole body of about five hundred young mien came upon the university grounds to welcome him and with expressions which showed most hearty good will. All who have taken part in founding this insti+ tution must feel grateful for the spirit which he threw into all his labors with us. AS AN AMAIASSADOR. j “] last-saw him at Paris, at the opening of the Expo- sition, in May, and had the pleasure of being with him at the opening ceremonies. His extensive travels and acquaintance with men in all parts of the world not taken the edge off his patriotism. He show cuustant anxiety for the success of the American ex- hibit. I think thatall Americans there present felt a pride in him as the representative of our country, nor was this admiration coufined to Americans alone, I happened to bs in Germany when his appointment to the, Berlin Mission was announced, and nothing could be better than the tone of the German press regarding it. A German professor, of high repute, expresseu to me his admiration for a nation which | had sent into its diplomatic service, instead of pro- fessional politicians or men advanced merely bf diplomatic routine, such scholars as Marsh, Low and Taylor, and this feeling, I think, was very gen- eral aud by no means confined to any of the conti- nental nations. The country has certainly # agreat loss. His death has deprived us of one who could have been of Front use as a national representa- tive abroad, and he lived there was every reason, to expect of hima life of Goethevof high value in stimulating and maintaining trains of thought most desirable in a country like ours.” ARTHUR SEWELL'S PETITION. AN INJUNCTION ASKED FOR AGAINST THE PRESI- DENT OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE—THE LEGAL* ITY OF SEWELL'S EXPULSION QUESTIONED— ARGUM®ME BAFORR JUDGE FREEDMAN YESTER- DAY. Since the failure of John Bonner & Co., which ot curred nearly a year ago, Mr. Arthur L. Sewell, the - junior member of the insolvent firm, has been mnak- ing fruitless efforts to be reinstated to membership in the Stock Exchange, he having been expelled shortly after the fuilure und flight of his senior part ner. All Mr. Sewell'’s efforts in this direction have been pressed with unremitting energy, snd, after having tried every other known meaus, he hae ct last been obliged to resort to the courts tor remedy in the premises, The suit just brought is entitled “Arthur Ly Sewell vs. Brayton Ives, 28 President of the New York Stock Exchange, and others,’’ and the object of the action is to restrain the defendant trom interfer ing with Mr. Sewell’s entry to and egress from the Stock Exchange, of which he still claims to be a member, and also for the protection of his pro prictary rights in the association, In his complaint he scts forth that for eleven years prior to the failure of his firm he was a member of the Stock Exchange, and that the defendant, Mr. Ives, is president of the association, which counts over 1,000 members. He says thet a broker's business is valueless unless free admisson to this exchange or mart is af- forded him, as the transactions of buying and selling stocks ind dealing iu other securities can alone be carried on by a member of the Stock Exchange. He then goes on to say that the club or association is possessed of valuable property, which, as he alleges, is worth nearly $2,000,000. The value of a scat in the Exchange he fixes at $6,000, and the value of the insurance fund of the association is worth to him, as he further claims, $10,000, He complains that ‘on the 17th of January last the association undertook to expel him and deprive him. of his rights and property in the mart, which cost him $2,000, and which is ab- solutely essential to the discharge of bis business as astock broker. Not relishing this state of afairs, on the 2d'inst. he undertook to uasert what he deemed to be his rights and atiempted to enter the building. He says admittance was refused him, and now, be- cause he ,cannot obtain compensation in dameges and because he cannot force his way into the mart to carry on his busiuess, he claims to be entitled to an iujunction. NOT LEGALLY, EXURLLED. Attached to the complaint—the substance of which is given above—is an affidavit made by Mr. Sewell, in which he claims that the action of the Governing Committee expelling him from the Board is ne He avers that the Governing Committee reported he was guilty of “gross negligence,” and therefore they found him guilty of obvious frand; that upon the question “Do you find Arthur Sewell guilty of obvious fraud?” being put to the Governing Commit. tee on) M a majority voted in the affirmative, where- upon the chairman of the committee said Mr. Sewell was dequitted of the charge, But his decision was appealed from and overruled by a majority vote, and then the plaintifY was clared — dismissed, Under the twentieth article of the bylaws of the association it is provided that if “any member ba guilty of obyious fraud, of which the Governing ittee shall be the judge, he shall, upon con thereof, by a vote of two-thirds of the mem- said committee present, be expelled, and his bership shall escheat to the Exchange, subject, ‘ver, to the provisions of article 14 of the con- stitution as regards claims of members of the Exchange who are creditors of such persons.” te Sewell claims that under this section his expulsion whs clearly illegal and unauthorized and therefore void. He says he has used every endeavor to obtain redress, and has obtained the opinions of eminent lawyers showing the itlegality ot his expulsion, and asking for his rein jent, but the committee has prevented him from settling his debts, so that he was obliged to go into bankruptcy and is therefore not now an active member of the Stock Exchange.

Pryor and John L, Logan appeared tor Mr. Sewell, and, very curiously, Mr. Robert A. Sowell i opposition.
