PIANO FORTE BUSINESS IN BosToN.-Not
less than sac thousand pianos are manufactur-
ed in this city annually, and those are sold at
prices ranging from 1925 to $500 each. OF
course, vast amount Of lumber is used in
their construction There are establishments
that keep constantly on hand from 200 600 to
100000 feet of lumber, that it may be thor
oughly dried before being used, and thus all
possibility of shrinking OF warping be avoid
ed. The frame of the piano is commonly
made OF pine or chestnut; these materials are
brought from New Hampshire and other parts
OF the New England States. The veneerino
is OF rosewood, and this is imported in lors,
and sold at various prices. The logs are Of
Tered for sale in lots of from ten to fifteen in
number, and bring from $l5 to 800, accord
ing to the quality-generally from 1925 to
500. No timber SO poorly gotten out as this
Is ever offered III the market; hence the wide
margin III prices. 1t is sometimes bought bv
the pound. The best quality comes from Rio
Janelro' 1t is now brought directly to this
port, sawn into veneering, which is sold at
prices varying from to twenty-five cents per
foot, according to the beauty of the wood
Black walnut is occasionally used, but this
material IS not so beautiful for veneering, al.
though for carved work it is much in favor
The wood is brought from Western New York.
Mahogany was generally used few years
ago, but 1t is not Ill favor at present. Cherry
wood is commonly used for the legs of pianos.
The iron frames are for the most part made in
East and South Boston these are often quite
ornamental, and always of the best quality
and manufacture Chronicle.

DEsTITuTIoN IN New YORK. The unem-
ployed working men of New York have pre-
senteda memorial to the city Government set
ting forth the restitution which prevails at
the present time among the laboring classes
of that city. They say:
!. That there are now in that city GO, 900
able bodied men out Of employment
2. That 100000 women, accustomed to earn
their own livelihood, and in many instances
to support families by their unaided efforts,
are out of employment.
3. That ten thousand children, aecustom-
ed TO earn their own livelihood, and in MANY
cases to aid materially if not altogether to sup
port dependant relatives, are out of employ
mont.
4. That seventy-ivo thousand pergons.
women and children, aged and iniirm rela.
tres, mostly OF respectable standing, are now
chiefly If not altogether dependent upon the
one hundred and twenty thousand unempoy-
ed residents of this City, thus forming an az.
glegate OF one hundred and ninety five ihous-
and members OF our common humanity, all of
whom are thus for the most part deprived of
their daily bread.
D. That these 1000 persons have nov,
in the purchase Of food chiefly, if not entirely
at ruinous sacrifice, disposed If what avail
able means they had accumulated in more
prosperous times, and we regret to say that
the savings bank robbers have not passed by
the "poor mans lamb"
The memorial concludes with an earnest
appeal for relief by the immediate passage of
an appropriation for The improvement of the
public domain or some other equally available
means Of relief"

ted to make an extract from a private letter
from an officer of the United States ship Ports

OF the islands had called upon Commander
Dornn, of the Portsmouth, through Mr. Com
missioner Gregg, for assistance to repel ''fli,

That he would comply with the request, if his
services were needed, but he thought there
was no danger to the islands from the incur-
