XE ?st er Sunday-Grand Musical Services am the Churches-Bishop Potter and the Ritualists- Death ot* the Head of | the Great Publishing House of Harp? er Ai Brothers-Opening of Arm?la ?St Co ns table's New *?tore- The New Meth? odist Booh Concern-The "Uer&lu'e" Brooklyn Branch Office, Ate. New York dates, of Sunday last, gives us the following : The ohurches, this moraine, were crowded with worshippers, Easter Sunday, and the beautiful spring weather having assisted in bringing out tho reserves of church-goers. Tho holy edifices, especially the Roman Catholic Ohurches, had all made grand preparations for the celebration of tbe day, and the musio in tonio ot them surpassed anything erer heard before in this city. Among tbe Episco ?aliana there is slow but steady growth toward ituahsm, and aside ot St. Alban's, the musi? cal services in these ohurches have been more Senerally commented on than at any previous me. At St. AlbanN, of course, and also at Christ Churoh. in Fifth Avenue,tho muslo Jolly-J equalled that of the Roman churches, while of the latter, St. Stephen's in Twenty-eighth .treet, carried off the palm as usual. The mass waa by Dr. William Berge, the well know 3 organist of tho church, and is a rather dramatic but very effective composition. The Syrie is a novelty, commencing with tympani ?hime of bells and voices, and running off into two distinot melodies, very grateful and frosh, one for the hells, the other for the voices. The effect of t*o large bells striking the key-note and dominant al torn atti v may be imagine I, hut to be appreciated should be heard. FLOWERY PIETY. Few persons can have any idea of the vast trade in flowers which is earned on in this city for Easter oor-sumption; but the BI at is tics of some of the city Episcopal parishes is a good index to it. Trinity and her several chapels have invested near" y $1000 in lilies and cro? cuses alono. One of tb? fashionable ohurches in the Fifth avenue, not far from Thirty-filth street, $500; another in the Ninth avenue, $300; OOO: in Broadway, $150; two others in madison avenue, $250 each. These floral decorations are supplied for the most part by the same pro? fessional Artists and horticulturists tbat furnish bouquets for wedding parties and the prima donnas at the opera; but not a few of the richest and rarest aro voluntary contributions from private nurseries. Tue ritualistic chipel of St. Albans boasts of having had its altar fur? nished in this way. BISHOP POTTEB AND THE RITUALISTS. The St. Albans p :o.ile, it may be said here, tate congratulating themselves upon having secured the presence of Bishop Potter, to give additional ?clat to the very elaborate, if not novel, services which they nave arranged for Easter: The low-ohurohmen, and even more cautious high-churchmen, say if the Bishop wilt go there, it ought to be ia the o vening on Borne ordinary day, and not on a high festival, when his presence will bo aocoptod by the public as proof that be indorses the various novelties which the enterprising Father Mor? rell never fails to provide on such occasions. [By he way, one of his novelties last Sunday was to bless and distribute the palm?-just as lt is done in the Catholic Church, j DEATH OF EX-MAYOB HABPER. Ex-Mayor James Harpar, who was thrown from his carriage in Fifth avenue on Thursday evening, died to-day. As Mayor of the city during the first Native American furore, asa pioneer m thc total abstinence movement, and.as an energetic and public spirited oitizoa, he was well known in New York; bot as tbe head of tho great publishing house of Harper & Brothers his reputation extended to tbe end of the country and wherever American pr in tod books were read. He was boro io Newtown, Ii. I., itt 1795. He learned the art of printing in New York, beginning at tho age of sixteen, and on attaining to his major? ity, with his brothers, entered upon the business itt; whioh the firm subse quently made a world-wide reputation. The brothers set their own types and worked their own . presses, in their earlier days ; but in after years their increasing business forbade their gving attention to iua details. In 1844, Mr. arper was made Mayor of this city, and io thatpo8itior Ms remarkable business'capacity was as conspicuous as in bis private affairs. In October. 1858, the Harpers' buildings, nine in number, were burned to the ground, and Mr. Harper having been asked the next morn? ing bow muon the firm Intended to piy their creditors, replied, "One hundred conte on the dollar.?'-. They-paid dollar for dollar, and then erected the magnificent fire proof buildings Whioh they now occupy. Nobody dreamed of the vastness of their*, resources until, losing 81,000 000 in one fire, they asRed no aid, and immediately ereoted a million dollar printing and publishing establishment. As may be sup? posed from bis fifty years of successful business, Mr. Harper soo um dated wealth. He bas lived io elegant bat nob snowy style for some years in Gramerey place. The approach of old age has Scarcely lessened his business activity. He has continued almost to the time of tua acci? dent to exercise a sort of supervisory control over the Cliff-street establishment.' It ie relat? ed by a reverend doctor, who was something of a boie, that he visited the Harpers once and i asked the mayor "what he did." He said to him: "1 know that Mr. John Harper attends to the business; Mr. Wesley Harper looks after the literary correspondence ; Mr. .Fletcher Harper receives authors, and looks after new Dooks And the magazine-but you, Mr. Mayor, ye . . _ tain the bores/' Mr. Harper retired from ac< ti ve business about ten years ago, and was known aa one of the best of our solid citizens. DP-TOWN MOVEMENTS. The opening of Arnold, Constable & Co.'s retail establishment, at the corner of Nine? teenth street and Broadway, Stewart's worthy rival, is an event of our metropolis, which was appropriately noted yesterday afternoon. The building reflects not very great oredit upon the architect, bat constant movin r up town of our immense retail warehouses foreshadows what baa ail along been expected, that Madison Square mast necessarily become tho oentre of New York's business m less than ten years. The army of clerks at thia establishment last evening all appeared at the opening in bran new suits, presented to them by the proprie? tors, who also entertained them at supper. No journalist has ever been able to record such liberality on the part of A. T. Stewart. ANOTKEB OBAND KXTXSPBZSX. The Methodists of this city have Just pur? chased the magnificent marble building on the corner of Eleventh-street and Broadway, and intend to open it in the spring for their grand book cono rn and mission house. They paid the proprietors, Messrs. Lake A McCreery, the magnificent sum of ono million dollars for the building. On Sunday next, April 4. the cen? tennial celebration takes plaoe in all the Meth? odist churches of the city. MEW ?OBK AND BBOOKLYN. The constant growth of the city makes it necessary to expand on all aides, and so ag the suburbs become more and more part ot New York, leading establishment? of course need tbe assistance of branch offices, to assist them in the proper transaction of business. The New York Herald, of tho metropolitan newspapers, first leads off in eetablishing a branch office in Brooklyn, which is to be open? ed for business on Thursday nett. Ia less than a, year, all of the leading dallies ?Ul be obmpelied to do the same, and not only in B.r?(>Kl>n but also in Jersey City S?d Harlem .3 ?West Chester County. o?? -?*oto*tt??not1ft^\ln County, Virginia, named Kenan Smithers, died on tho 21st of February last at the advanced age of one hun drod and twenty-five. She is said to bars had a cross of Indian blood ia her teins, and waa remarkably active sven in her old age. onn FIS ir. The ?tra feo ? and the Sen Serpent- A n tnentio Details in Regard to their Appearance and Sine. From au interesting article on thia subject, in the April number of Putnam's Magazine, we glean the following : Tho ?x ia tonco of the Kraken (whioh Webster defines as a fabled sea animal of monstrous size) has ever been a subject of incredulity, though tenaciously maintaining its hold on the wonder of man. Trebius tells us a story that a polypuB carno every night from the great deep on shore at Carteja in order to feed on salt meat. The people tried in vain to discover the robber, but finally the dogs caught him one morning as ho tried to make his way back to the sea. Ho was soon surrounded by a host of mon, but at a distanco, for the hideousness of the monster, all covered with brine, his enormous size, and the horrible odor h 3 diffused, nearly petrified the poor fishermen. After fighting the dogs bravely with his two largor arms, and beating them with bis whip-like tentacles, tho fisher? men summoned courage, and with their tri? dents despatched the kraken. The bead aud arms of the monster wore taken lo Lucullus and measured. The head was the sino of a large cask, while the arms were thirty feet long and so large that a man could hardly span them. Whether Lucullus bad tho remain? ing flesh-whioh still weighed over seven hun? dred pounds-cooked for his table is not stated; but we know that the Kornaus were as fond of the flesh of these hideous creatures as the fishermen of the coasts of Normandy are in our day. Numberless other tales are told of the mons? ter. In the seventeenth century it was believ? ed that but few existed, but tbat they were im? mortal-whioh belief was not ever shaken, when in 1680 the caroass of one was for tho first time discovered iu the Gull of Nowangen, in tho Parish of Astabougb. His arms bad become entangled in the numerous cliffs and rooks whioh characterize the dangerous coast of that neighborhood, and the animal had died there, unable to extricate itself. When putrefaction commenced in tho enormous mass, the odor became so offensive for miles that a pestilence was feared ; but the waves finally washed it away, piece by piece. A similar case occurred on the Newfoundland banks toward the close of tho last century. The most remarkable story is tbat of a Dan? ish sailor, Captain John Magnus Dens. Ho was once becalmed off the coast of Africa aud set tbe crew to deaning ship. All at once a krakon rose from the sea, threw one of its arms around two men, and sank out of sight. Another feeler, however, appeared, and tried to grasp a sailor who was nae -nding a mast. The crew came to his assistance and succeeded in cutting off tbe feeler, but the man died from fright. They threw five harpoons into the monster, but were unable to bold him. The severed feeler measured at the base as many inches as their mizzen-mast, waa still twenty five feet long, and at the pointed end provided with a number of suckers, each as large as a spoon. Its full size must have been far great? er, as only part of it had been cut off, the ani? mal never even raising its head above the sur? face. During one century the facts have been stripped of all exaggeration and the existence of such monsters placed beyond all controver? sy. A kind of mollusk called c?phalopodes, was found in various seas, the peculiar forma? tion and strange appearance of whioh suffici? ently explained the marvels told of tho 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 flat eyes; on his head at the summit a kind of hard brown beak, after tbe manner of a parrot's hill, and around the beak a crown ot eight or ten powerful long arms-this is the polypus, which passed of old for a kraken. Its arms are some rimes fifty or sixty feet long. Steenstrup. a Copenhagen naturalist, examined one in 1855, on the coast of Gothland, where it had been caugbt by fishermen. It required several carts to carry the body off. The twin brother of the kraken-the sea serpent-is clearly referred to in the Old Tes? tament, both by Isaiah and Job, and in the Psalms. Nicolaua Gramms, minister of. the Gospel, at London, ti lls us that curing a de? structive inundation in Norway, an immense serpent was seen to m ?ko its way towards the ocean, overthrowing everything in its path, animals, trees and h mses, and 11 tiering fearful roarings. If we believe the testimony of the Hebrews and of the Northern nations, the o exists a serpent, living in the aaa, of gigantic proportions, swimming hy vertical movements, in which it is aided by fins, which h ug down from behind its nook, lt bas a shaggy mane, its eyes are large and brilliant, and the head is shaped somewhat like that of a horse. It is only Boen in mid-midsum? mer and during fine weather, for the want of stability iu its long and flexible body disables it from resifting tho effect of high winds. The first reliable account ot the serpent in modern times came from a ship captain, Laurent de Ferry, of Bergen, who saw one in May, 1746. The only other repor a is that of Rev. Mr. McLean, written from the Hoi vides, who saw one from seventy to eighty feet long off the coast of Coll, June, 1808. The same year the body of one was washed ashore at Htrousa, ooo of the Orkneys. It was over fifty feet long and nine feet in circumference. It bad a kind of mane running from behind tho head Dearly to to the tail, which was brilliantly phosphores? cent at night. Its gills, nearly five feet long, were not unlike the pluoked wings of a goose. The questiou has never been finally decided whether tho bea serpent ' belongs to the realms of fancy, or is really one of the deep. That thore must bo in existence animals ot serpen - like form and of gigantic proportions seems to be well established by tho concurrent testimo? ny of American, English and Norwegian eye? witnesses; and the mere fact that no specimen exists in the museums and that no such mons? ter has been recently encountered does not by any means disprove the experience of so many ages. THE NEW YORK CLUBS. Their Comfort, Styl?, Luiury and Kx .lusivenese. The New Tork correspondent of the Boston Evening Gase tte says: A few years ago it looked as if New York was to bes?me as noted for its clubs as London is. The supposed American indisposition to this form of social intercourse seemed to have boen overcome. The old clubs, largely reinforced, moved into new and spacious buildings. New dubs sprung up almost every week. In Fifth Avenue, arouud Union and Madison Squares, and in other eligible situations, almost every large or unusual spacious private residenoe was sought ssa clubhouse, and, in many in? stance?, became converted to this purpose. But now there is a change, devora! club} that started off brilliantly have 1 ailed, and others still holding OD have bat a precarious existence. The Athenmum was among the first to go do wu. This dub first occupied a large building in Union Square, and seemed to bo doing well. But nearly two years ago it remov? ed to a splendid building in Madison Avonuo, a description of which I gave the readers ox the Gazette at the time. It was very elegantly domiciled, but members dropped off, debts bo? gan to accumulate, and in a few months it dosed in a state of bankruptcy. The Eclectic, a fast young mon's dub, to whioh it was quite "the thing" to be a member of, has also come to grief aud dosed ita doors. Tbo City, the New York, the Traveller, are still holding on, but are said to be threatened with speedy dis? solution. Of all the young dabs only t NO are in pros? perous condition, and these are the Republican Union League Club, and tbe Democratic Man? hattan Club. The latter is the youngest ot the dabs, but it ia the wealthiest, the most nought after, and with one exception, the most aristo? cratic The exception is the Union Glob. Tbe Union (not to be confounded with the Union League), although composed of some of our most wealthy men, ia within itself nob free h\>m debt-indeed, is continually accumulating debt; bat the wealth of its members will pre vent it from going to the wall. The Manhat? tan, on the contrary, although organized only a few years ago, has accumulated a large sur? plus, and seems to be more prosperous than any of ita rivals. It is the only dub that ia not run in debt by ita restaurant. ino union League is in a por factly sound condition ; has probably the largest list ol members of any club in town, but is more ox duaUeiy ? political organization than the Manhattan. The latter has a far higher social rank, and the best dinners given in America, not excepting Deltnonioo's, are served at this dub. To dine at the Manhattan, indeed, is ai event. The hospitality of it? members is aa noted as the splendor of ita cuisine, and not ? lew famous Republicans have stretched theil legs beneath its copperhead mahogany. 1 must not pass over the dubs without brio! reference to the Century, at the rooms ol wfaish assemble all oar poota, painters sac WlSclub has no restaurant, is oonduot^ inexpensively, end ts a complete success. Its complement of members is alwsvs fall, with 1 long list of candidates walting for vacancies Here on Saturday night * dish of oysters and 1 biscuit are served np to visitors and members and on these occasions we may find nearly al our literary and art oelebrities assembled for au hour's "flow of eoul." The Century would suit Boston exaotly. Tho Manhattan is moto truly to Manhattan horn; it is gorgeous, lavish : foods and tenders itself sumptuously; is loai ned in rrines and woodcock-and doesn't oaro a fig for tho best poem ever written, or the best pioturo ever painted. At the "Century" vo^n fjnd Mr. Brvant, Mr. Churob. Mr. aboard, Mr. Keusett, Mr. Sted? en. Mr. Bayard Taylor At the "Manhat? tan" you',! find Mr. Vanderbilt, Mr. Belmont, Mr. Soholl, Mr. Marble, Mr. Hoffman. And who, you may ask, is at the "Union League ?" Why, every officeholder. All tho government contractors, livery pohtioian with an axe to grind. And the name of these ia lemon. Par? ticularly we may name Mr. Jay, Mr. Greeley, Mr. Weed, King Kent edy, Mr. Schultz, Mr. Senator Morgan aud Mr. Fenton. (Hammen tal importa.
