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

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?

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.
