PLO WHEY PIETY. .' few persons can have any idea of the vast trade in flo wera which is earned on in this city for Easter co. sumption; but the s atistics ?of some of the city Episcopal parishes is a good Vindex to it.

J DEATH or KX-aiAToa HA uren. Ex-Mayor James Harp?r, who was thrown from his carriage iu Fifth avenue on Thursday evening, died to-day. A9 Mayor of the city during the first Native American furore, asa pioneer in thc total, abstinence movement, sod as an energetic and public spirited citizji, ho was well.known m Kew Yoik; bnt as the head of tho pro it Publishing, bouse of Harper & Brothers his reputation extended to the end r-of tho country and wherever American printed books wer? road. He was born m Newtown, L. I., in 1795. He learned the art of printing - in - New York, beginning at the a??e of sixteen, and on attaining to his major? ity, with his brother?, entered upon - the business iu which the firm subse quently made a world-wide reputation. Tho brothers set their own types and worked their own presses, in their earlier days ; but in after ryeirs their increasing business forbids tho:r ^'giving attention to <~> details. Ia 1844, Mr. Harper was made Mayor of this city, and in that posit or '-;H remarkab.3 business capacity was as cons,jons as in his private affairs. In October 1833' the Harpers' buildings, nine - in nu nber, were burned to tho ground, and Mr. H ?per haring been aaked tho next morn? ing bow muoh the firm intended to p iy their creditors, replied. "One hundred cents on the dollar." Tuey paid dollar for dollar, and thea .erected tho magnificent fire proof bniidings whioh they tow occupy. Nobody dreamed of the vastness of then? resources until, losing $1,000,000 in one fire, they asKod no aid, and immediately erected a million dollar printing and publishing establishment. As may be sup . posed from his fifty years of sucoessfal business, Hr. Harper ascamaiated wealth. He has li voa m elegant bat not snowy scyle for soma years ia 8 ram--rey place. Ibo approach of old age bas scarcey lessened his business activity. Ho . has eontinr.sd almost; to the timo of his acci? dent to ex -roi so a bort of supervisory control over the Cnff-stroet establishment. It is rotat? ed by a reverend doctor, who was something of a bote, that he visited tho Harpers once and asked the ua\or . whit ho dat.*." Ho said to ' bim: "1 know that Mr. John Harper attends r ~to the business; Mr. Wesley Harper looks after the literary correspondence ; air. Fletcher Harper receives authors, and looks afcer new Dooks and tho magazine-bnt voa. Mr. Miyor, , I have never been able to discover what you ^ .do?", '*Tfl tell you." answered the Ma>or, io a ' whisper, "bat you mast not let it oui ; I enter - tain the bores.'' Mr. Harper retired from ac? tive i business abone ten years ago. and was known an one of the best of our solid citizens. : TJP-T .W.N' MOVEMENTS. The opening of Arnold, Constable dc Co.'s retail establishment at the corner of Nine? teenth street and Broadway, Stewart's worth? rival, is an event of our metropolis, which was aopropriatolv noted yesterday afternoon.

Thc Kraken and the Sea Serpent-A n tDentic Details in Regard to their Appearance and size. From au interesting article on this subject, in the Apnl nu2ber Of Putnam's Magazine, tr? glean the following : The existence of tho Kraken (which Webster defines as a fabled sea animal of monstrous size) has erer been, a subject ot' incredulity, though tenaciously maintaining its hold on the wonder of man. Trobius tells us a story that a polypus carno every night from tho great deep on shoro at Cartcja in order to feed on salt meat. Tho people tried in vain to discover the robber, but finally the dogs caught him ono morniDg as ho tried to make his way back to the sea. He was soon surrounded by a host of men, but at a distance, for the hideousness of the monster, all covered with brine, his enormous size, and the horrible odor h J dffused, nearly petrified tho poor fishermen. After fighting tho dogs bravely with his two larger arms, and beating them with hts whip-like tentacles, tho fisher? men summoned courage, and with their tri? dents despatched the kraken. The head and arms of the monster were taken to Lucullus and measured. Tho bead was the sizo ot a large cask, while tho arms were thirty feet long and so large that a man could hardly span them. Whether Lucullus had tho remain? ing fl.'ah-which still weighed over seven hun? dred pounds-cooked for his table is not Stated; but we know that tho Romans were aa fond of the flesh of these hideous cr-atures as the fishermen of the coasts of Normandy are in our day. Numberless other tales are told of the mons? ter. In the seventeenth ceutury it wai believ? ed that but f JW existed, but that they were im? mortal-which belief was not ever shaken, when in 1680 tho carcass of ono was for tho first time discovered in the Gull of Ncwangen, in the Parish of Astabougb. Eis arme bad become entaugled in thc nu nerous cliffs and rocks which characterize thc dangerous coast ot that neighborhood, atid the auimil had died there, unable to extricate itself. When putrefaction commenced in tho enormous mass, the odor became so offonsivo for miles that a pestilenco was feared ; but the waves finally washed it away, piece by piece. A similar case occurred on the Newfoundland banks toward the close of the last century. The most remarkable story is tbat of a Dan? ish sailor, Captain John Magnus Dens. He waa once becalmed off tbe coast of Africa and set the crew to cleaning ship. All at once a kraken rose from the sea, threw one of its anns around two moo, a id sank out of sight. Another feeler, however, appeared, and tried to grasp a sailor who was ase tiding a mast. The crew came to his assistance and succeeded in cutting off the feeler, but the mau died from fright. The? threw five harpoons io to the monster, but were unable to hold him. Tho severed fueler measured at thc bascas many inches as then" mizzen-mast, was still twenty fivo leet lons;, and at tho poiuted end providod with a number of suckers, oach as largo as a spoon, its full size must havo boen far great? er, as only part of it had been cut off, tho ani? mal never oven raising its head above the sur? face, j During one century tho facts have been stripped ol-all exaggeration and the existence of such monsters placed beyond all coutrover- 1 sy. A kind of mollusk called c?phalopodes, i was lound in vannin BOOS, the peouliar forma- I tion an.i strange appearance of which suffioi- , emly explained the marvels told of the kraken. An elongated sack in the form of an egg or a cylinder, from which protrudes at one end a ' thick round bead, with a pair of enormous fiat eyes; on his head at the summit a kind of hard orown beak, after tbe manner of a parrot's bill; and around the beak a ero .vu ot eight or ten powerful long arms-this is the polypus, which paused of old for a kraken. Its arms are some? times fifty or sixty feet long. Steonstrup. a Copenhagen naturalist, examined one in 1855 on tho coibt of Gothland, where it had been caught by fishermen. It required several cans to cai ry tho body off. The twiu brother of tho kraken-tho sea serpent-is clearly referrod to in the Old Tes? tament, botb by Isaiah and Job. and in tho ' Psalm-. Nicoluu* Gramms, minister of tho Gospel, at Loudon, tt Us us that t uring a dc- { Strop! i va inundation in Norway, an immonso serpent- was soon to mike its way towards the ocean, overthrowing everything" in its path, 1 animals, trees and h mses, aud uttering fearful roaring-. If wo boliove tho testimony of tho Hebrews and of the Northern natious. the -c exists a aorpent., living in thc H .-a. of gigan io proportions, swimming by vertical tnovemonts, in whicb it is aidel by flos, which h ug down from behind its neck, lt has a shaggy mano. ?tri <"?") trw ltUSfO ?rxl t>riliiant, uIICl til? head is shaped somewhat liko that of a horse. It is on! v soon m mid-m dsum-. mer and during fine weather, for the want of stability in its long and flexible; body disables it from resifting the effect of high winds. The first reliable account ot tho serpent iu modern times came from a ship captain, Laurent de Ferry, ot Bergen, who saw one in May, 1716. The only otuer repor s is that of Kev. Mr. McLean, written from tho Holvides, who saw one from seventy to eighty tcet long off the coast of Coll, Ju?o, 1S08. Tho samo year the body of cue wis washed ashore at Strousa, ono ol tnt. Orkneys. It was over fifi y feet long and nine feet in circumference. It bad a kind of mano running from hehiud tho head nearly to to the tail, which was brilliantly phosphores? cent at night. Its gills, noarly five feet long, were not unlike the plucked wings of a goose. the question has no vor been finally doc id cd whether the sea serpent belongs to the realms of fancy, or is really ono ot tho deep. That there must be iu existence animals ot serpen - like form and of gigantic proportions stems to be well established by the concurrent testimo? ny of American, English and Norwegian eye? witnesses; and the mere tact that no specimen exists in the m us PU a, s and that no such mons? ter has been recently encountered docs uot by any means disprove the experience of so many ages._ TELE SEW YORK CLUBS. Their Cornier:, Style, Luxury and Ex* elusiveness. The New York correspondent of the Boston Evening Gazette eavs: A few years ago it looked as if New York was to become as noted for its clubs as London is. Tho supposed American indisposition to this tomi ol' social intercourse seemed to have boon overcome. Tho old clubs, lorgeiv reinforced, moved iuto now and spacious buildings. New clubs sprung np almost evory wci-k. In Filth Avenue, aro mid Union and Madison Squates. and in otiiur ohgibio situaLious, almost every large or uiu&ual spacious private residence was sought. s a clubiiousc, and, in many in? stance-, became couvert ed lo t!u? purpose. But now there is anhange. -Severalclubi that started off brilliantly havo tailed, aud otbers still holdicg oi have but a precarious ex stence. Tue Athet-jeum was among tho dist to go down. This club first occupied a large bunding in Union Square, and seemed to be domg well. But nearly two years aco it remov? ed to a SDlendid building in Madison Avenue, a description of which I gavo the readers oi the Gazette at the time. It was very elegantly domiciled, but members dropped off, debts be? gan to accumulate, and in a few moneas it closed in a state of bankruptcy. The Eclectic, a fast young men's club, to which it was quite "tn o thing" to bo a member of, has also come to grier a id closed its doors. Tho City, tho New York, tho Traveller, arc still holding cn, but are said to bo threatened with speetly dis? solution. Of all tho young clubs only t vo are in pros? perous condition, aud these are thu Republican Union League flub, and the Democratic; .Man? hattan Club. Tiie latter is the youngest 0. tho olubs, but it is tho wealthiest, thc most sought aiter, and with one exception, the most aristo? cratic. The exception is the Union Club. Tho Union (not to bo confounded with the Union League), although composed of gomo bi our most wealthy men, is within itself not free from debt-in leed, is continually accumuhmug deb'; but tho wealth of its membois will pre? vent it irom going to the wall. Tho Mauhbt fan, on the contrary, although organizad only a few years ago, has accumulated a Urge sur? plus, und seems to bo moro prosperous than any ot its rivals. It is tho only club that is not run ic debt by its restaurant. Tho Union Loaguo is in a perfectly sound condition ; has probably tho largest hst of members of any club in "town, but is moro ex? clusively a political organization than tho Mauhattan. Tho latter lias a Tar higher social rank, and the best dinners given in Amuri, a not excepting Delmonico's. are scivo.l nt this c nb. To dine at tho Manhattan, inueed, is an event. Tho ho-pitality of ita members is as noted as tho spleudor of its cuisine, and not a few lamoua Republicans have Stretched their legs beneath its copperhead mahogany. I must not pass over ibo clubs without brief ri terence to tito Century, at the rooms of windi assemble all our poets, pain tors and writers. This club has no restaurant, is conducted inexpensively, and is a completo success. Iis complement of membors is always full, with a long list of candidates waiting for vacancies. H' ro on Saturday night a dish of oysters and a biscuit aie6crvcd up to visitors and members, cud on these occasions we may find Dearly all our literary and aro celebrities assembled for an hour's ''flow of soul." J ho Century would Buit Boston exactly. The Han hat tan is moto truly to Manhattan born; it is sorgeous, lavish; feodsand tenders itself sumptuously; isloatnod in -w.nos and woodcock-and doosu'i care a tis: for tho best poem ever written, or the best picture ever painted. At the "Century" you'll find Mr. Bryant, Mr. Church, M"r. S.G,?.'!?r !, Mr. Keusett, Mr. tsted man Mr. Bayard Taylor At tho "Manhat? tan" you' 1 find Mr. Vanderbilt, Mr. Belmont, Mr. Schell, Mr. Marole, Mr. Hoffman. And who, you may ask, is at the "Union League ?" Why,"every officeholder. All tho government contractors. Every politician with au axe to grind. And the name of these is lecion. Par? ticularly we may namo Mr. Jay, Mr. Greeley, Mr. Weed. King Kent ody, Mr. Schultz, Mr. Senator Moreau and Mr. Fenton. (tamemal. Imports.
