The editor of the Savannah Republicans, Sa.

by Messrs J. w. Morrell i Co., of that city
says:

instruments ofe every grade of excellence, from
the we'll know manufacturing establishments OF
Chckering Il Son, Horace Waters H. Worces-
ter NunDs Clark, and Bacon & Raven. II
might well be supposed, that in SO large col.
lection there would be some very fine instru-
ments But there Is one which, for beauty OF
finish and richness and briliancy of tone equals
IL 1t ooes not excel, anything of the hind we
have ever seen 1t is from the establishment OF
Horace Waters. Being constructed of the best
and most thoroughly seasoned material, and
upon improved principles. it ID capable OF resist
ing the action Of every climate, and Of standing
a long lime in tune. The KEYS ara Of pearl,
and the recess for the finger board is inisd with
pearl, while the legs are most eaborately carv-
ed, and the whole instrument finished up in a
style Of great excellence and beauty. And yet
its chief merit lies la the power, brliiancy aud
richness Of its tone, and the elasticity of its
touch.

bert and Company's Premium lEoiian Pianos
The Eolian Forte is undoubtedly the most
perfect IN usical instrument human ingenuity has
constructed. Two instruments are blended in
one. The Eolan is both attached aud detach-
ed; so that the piano may be played with or
without IT,; or, with one hand the performer
may elicit the 1nelodious stratus of the Eolian.
