The 1'iukerton men on the first freight train moved from eait Albany were stoned ai they passed through the lumber district, ard three of them received tevere bruises. A boot lii o'clock to- nigh I Heveral hundred people were standing on the bridge (pan- ning the freight track* in West Albany yards. The Pinkerlon men bad been maea- ed there, and were looking after the aafety of the railroad, men who bad comu from Chicago and were then making prepara lions to begin work to morrow. The linkers have repeatedly aaaerted that they would Htone any men who should engage in moving the f reibl there, and the de-teo- tiveal, fearing they would put their reoolve into execution, endeavored to olear the bridge*. They met with gome resistance, and in the melee which followed one of the spectator) was aeverely hart by being struck with a club in the band* of one of the 1'inkerton men. One of the latter was also hart, and wa carrn-,1 down to the paint shop by his colleagues. The Pinker- Ion men bad no authority to disturb the spectators at this bridge, being a public highway. The Albany police are now in charge of the bridge ami everything is quiet there. 1IU 1>. ,1 II. HTRIKK "VFU. The committee from the 1).

Matters wore progressing favorably, and ho was en- shipments of freight offered them, which entirely disproves Mr. Webb's assertions. The efforts of the company to moite our people to riot and violence by employing Pinkerlon'a men with clubs and Winches- ters have so far been an utter failure. We caution all our brothers to remain firm and vigilant and all will end in our favor. I lit HIU Ml S RESOLVE. A Syracuse dispatch says : The Kxecu tive Board of Locomotive Firemen that has been in session in Utira for the past two days, adjourned to night, and the dele- gates have returned to their homes. The mesting of the Executive Board consisted of fourteen delegatea, representing the four- teen lodges comprising the New York Cen- tral district. These fourteen delegate; represent over 700 firemen in the employ of the Central. The delegate from Syracuse lodge returned here to night ar.d talked quite freely of what was done at the meet- ing. II.' said that the meeting, though protracted, waa one of harmony, and that all w< re agreed upon matters of any mi portanoe. The meeting, he said, had been called to dircuss the advisability of strik ing. Numerous speeches were made, both in favor of striking and against it. When the matter was finally put to the vole, it was decided to stand by the constitution of the Order and not strike unless a strike was ordered by a higher authority. They concluded that they themselves had no grievances but what could be amicably settled with the company without the ex- pense of a strike. AM i * II I IM. BKIUK.

Ou*-a Kllxiibfilh'a Famous Aildresv i, tbr Troops lo Tilbury Fort, It was on or about this day in August, 1588, that Qaeen Eli/abeth delivered her famous barargne to the 20,000 soldiers in camp in Tilbury fort. The whole country waa at that time in a fever of excitement over rumors that the formidable Hpanisb armada was abont to eLter the Tnamts and begin its assault upon the nation. Both sides of the river w re hastily fortified and troops summoned. After having re-viewed Ibe soldiers in London, Eli^a^eth determined lo visit those at Tiibory fort. She rode on a war-charger, wore armor, and carried a maiabal s truncheon in her hand. Her appearance created gnat enthusiasm among the troops, and their cheers to doubt helped to inspire her with eloquence. All are faniiliar with the sp-ich, in which the following ringing passages occur : I have alway a so bi havtd m) self that, under Ood, I have placed my oh'efest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts an.- 1 good will of my subjects, and therefore I have come among yon at this tune, not as for my recreation and sport, but being resolved in the midst and heat of the battle to live or die among you all ; to lay down for my God, my kingdom, and for my people, my honor and my blood, even in the dust. I know that I have but the bcdy of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart of a king, and of a king of England, too, and think foul acorn that 1'arma or Spain or any prince of Europe should dare to invade the bordera of my realm." The speech completely won the hearts of th soldiers, and had the armada appeared il)ey would undoubtedly have proved themselves worthy of their heroic <ineen.

I went to a fashionable concert the other evening and listened to fashionable music and come away fashionably weary, like the olber individuals in Ihe anaieuce. I was more than weary. I waa indignant, for what I bad been asked to admire was ths ttcbcical ikiil of tbe performers. There was not a melody played during the whole evening. It was b*sb, hash, hash, musical hash, all the way through- no th, me, no color, expression or beauty. Not an idea or an impulse or inspiration in a century of il.

Tbey become engrossed in the details of their art and forget its end and object I r'are say that if the painter did not have to sell hie pictures he would become so enamored of his own clevernets in prcducing subtle tints and combinations of color thai he would disdain form entirely, and bi? pictures would be nothing but patches of variegated rainbows over which a few transcendental egotiitt would thrill with intensely technical delight. But, thank heaven, the painter is forced to please by the obligation to ecll his works, and he finds that the public is not one bit inter- ested in how be produced the painting, but is very much interested in wbat he has produced, if it is good. Paintings last for hundreds of years, and their value is de- rived from the pleasure they give and from their beauty. Their constant theme is tbe beauties of nature, and the nearer tbey come to representing these the more suc- cessful ia the artist. To be successful be must be content to put the details of his work in the background, where they belong, and make the thing produced the aim and end of its production. But there is no sucb obligation on tbe musician, tiis product ia intangible, and so, when earthwcro people come to him for care- dispel! ing melodies, for the pleasure of tloating away on the dreamy bosom of some broad theme, for ideas, for inspiration, and all tbe lan- guorous delights lhat those who love Ihe melodits that live know so well, be bores them for hours with an exhibition of his digital rapidity and precision. i' Mtcllitr Ore of Ihe moul notable examples of the constant and yet almost imperceptible changes taking place in the heavens is to be found in the motion i f the seven bright ftars collectively known as the ISig Dipper, lluggirs, Ihe noted a-lronomer, is now en- e."d m proving that five of these starsare moving in the same direction, while the other two are moving inadireotion directly opposite.
