There appears to be some dissat- isfaction felt among the Zion’s pastors in this city , inconsequence of Rev. R. H. G. Dyson, visiting too much among the members of their churches, and gossiping to the detriment of their interest, in order to defeat their success and en- hance bis own. If this be so, the bishops should puta stop to it. They say Rev. Dyson is too officious. He is preju- diced to the success of the young men. It is amusing to see peuple with their faces drawn as if they had swallowed a feather and it was tickling their lungs and they would be happy if they could only sneeze.

There were several dur- ing the week, and, although none were in themselves of great mo- ment, yet taken all together they madea very agreeable diversion. There is an apparent tendency in dinners this season todo away _al- together with heavy viands, when ladies are among the company. Substantial roasts and saddles of mutton have given way to fillets about as big round as a watch case with a tritle of artichoke of bean- aise. The purpose is to have every- thing so frail that the knife may be necessity, if impulse move, of re- moving their gloves. Flowers are more used than ever, and are likely to be all winter. Three women, whose influence ordinarily is force- ful in setting the modes in society, undertook to array themselves against the use of flowers as din- ner-table decorations. They gave an elaborate luncheon, and forbade the use of a single rose upon or about the table. They ex- perienced so much difficulty, how- ever, in procuring substitutes of even half the decorative beauty that flowers possess that they aban- doned the fight, and, at a dinner given by one of them the other night, all precedent in the lavish useof roses was surpassed. The stand to make now is against the vulgar over-doing of a very pretty idea. China and fine glass more than hold their own in popular fa- vor and one sees porcelain in town that would be prized in the home of a Howard. Decorations are, and apparently, if one may judge by what is already to be seen, will continue to be, pronounced in col- ors, red and other bright, warm tints prevailing. No hue predomi- nates, however, to the exclusion of others. What were called yellow dinners at Bar Harbor are already decided- ly passe. They never indeed were much in favor except with social sensationalists, aud they could not last it for no other reason than the one that only one complexion ina thousand could stand against them. For an Autumnal kink the many hued leaves of Fall are very pretty as decorations and are a good deal used. They may be preserved after gathering for two weeks or more water. Rich red ivy has also been used with great effect, and will probab- ly come into decided favor for big by keeping them in cold oceasions. But ivy grows so slowly that the generous use of it means Philadelphia great Press. expense. WEST WASHINGTON. James L, Turner, Agent and Reporter. 1417 West 28 street. tha Wormly.

M. EK. It is far better fora church to seek council before her Union is broken, than after-ward. Sketches, of an important sermon preached by the Rey. Dr. Laws, as previously announced, in which we took deep interest, were as follows. He preached from 2ud Kings, 4: 40. “Ob man of God, there is death in the Pot.’ Here, said he, is an evident veri- fication of God’s word in vindica- tion of his power over the powers of darkness; here is practical util- ity ofan all seeingeye, obstruct- ing the deep seated plans of an untimely evening, obscured from human sight. He made his subject, poison; and contended, that Biblical evi- dences, that the truly righteous may tread on serpents and scor- pions, or drink deadly things, poi- son, Without harm, are sufficient securety against superstition, and are ever abiding protection to God’s people, whocan never be hurt. The exposions used, were 1st A desease. 24 An evening; and 3d A thief. Either of which, he sgid was more than human match. SOUTH WASHINGTON. The night schools at the Randall, aud the colored Industrial School of trades at 4th st.,and Va. Ave. 8.W. are advances of progress in South Washington. Notwithstanding, the approach of winter, Third street improve- — is being pushed to comple- lon. There was never a timein the history of South Washington, when so many handsome twostory, five‘and six room houses were built as are being built now for $10, $12, and $16 monthly. The debate at the Israel C. M. E. Literary on Monday evening last, was full of lively interest. The dis- cussions were ably handled, and each speaker, acted as though he had come with fitty preparations for the purpose. While the Bez would suggest that stubborn facts which are ir- resistible were presented through that truth which make men free, both by the speaker on color line under the head of observation, and unsettled question, yet, it would ‘recommend all parties to look be- yond complexion for character. Thereis a general disappoint— ment in this community on ac- couut of the sudden change in the arrangement for the free night schools which were to have been held in the Randall Building, in- .| stead of the Lincoln . The masical and Literary enter- tainment at the St. Paul A. M. E. church 8th st.,in the interest of the Cato Ward monument fund, was a grand success on Thursday evening last. Among the most brilliant of the evening was Miss Ella V. Campbell, who championed all debates. Dr. S. A. Sumby, has already be- gun the refurnishing of his very handsome drug store on the cor. of 3d and E. sts. Mr. S. A.

The paper read by Mr. Boston, be- fore the Israel C. M, E. Literary So- ciety on Mon. evening last, consid- , ered by all present as too excellent a production upon the subject unset- tled question, to be criticised even by Mr. E.G. Leonard, who made such an eloquent address. Instrumental music, and a solo rendered by the Rev. R. S. Wil- liams, pastor, were acceptable with Mr. W. H. Bush, their president in the chair.
