Is stated that in absolute power and com
pass this instrument ranks among the four
greatest of the kind ever built, aud in the
perfection of its parts and Its whole ar
rangement it challenges comparison with
any other in the world. The wood of
which it is constructed is beautiful black
walnut covered with carved figures In re-
lief. A richly ornanented central arch
contains the key-boards and stops, and
tue pedlment above is surmounted by
bust of Johann Sebastian Bach. Behind
this rises the lofty central division con-
tanning pipes;a aud crowning it, is beau
lul statue Of St. Cecilia holding her Tyre.
On each side of her is griffin sitting as
guardian. The center is connected by
harp-shaped compartments filled with
pipes to the two grand towers at the sides,
each containing three colossal pipes. These
towers are stately, and produce COM
panding effect, This organ is placed up
on a low platform; its whole height is six.

and wonderful piece of ar, and before it
stands Crawford's noble bronze statue of

ample dimensions to give play to the
waves of harmony that will proceed from
his majestic instrument. 1t is one bun-
dred and thirty feet in length, seventy

Its dilnensi"n are oil multiples of the
humber thirteen, the length being ten,

Scott Russel's recommendation, aud has
been explained by the fact that vibrating

Brazilian Forests,

When We look at the beautiful rose
woods, think we have hardly begun to
see the specimensof the Brazilian forests.
Ere long the railroads tito the interior,
which have been chartered, will bring to
the seacoast those giants Of the forest. I
have been surprised, again and again. in
looking at those beautiful trees, which are
of the "senitive plaut" character. When
the sun goes down, they fold their leaves
and to slumber, and are not aroused until
by the morning sun and sininy birds. I
observed in some portions Of the interior
that rosewood was used for very common
purposes. In Christian ox-carts the
spokes would be made of rosewood. And
| use the term Christian ox.carts in dis
tinction from Roman ox-carts, where the
axle aud wheel turn together. Rosewood
is used in carts made like our owp. The
teeth of cogwheels are often made of it.
A gentleman showed me in his sugar
house beam nearly forty feet in length,
and three OF four in diameter, which he
told me was violet-colored rosewood. He
took me then to his pig pen, and-would

for when left rough and exposed to the

turned, brought with me box of mo>aic,
