The Cabinet Organ, manufactured by Ma
son & Hamlin, is an improvement upon in
struments Of the melodeon and harmonium
kind, and is rapidly winning its way TO ex-
tensiye circulation. To some extent 1t seems
to combine capabilities of the piano, and Of
previous reed instruments; for while 1t has al
most the quickness Of action and capacity for
rapid, lively music Of the one, 1t adds also the
better adaptedness to sacred and home music
of the other. Those who have become ac-
customed to melodeons and harmonious, will
be charmed with the considerable improve
ments which have been attained In the Cabi-

Rev. Henry Ward BsocbeT rather startled his

in 8 euloey Of the Eebsl troops, in ths course Of
a sermon designed 10 show that the pTies Of

speaker, sh2il We find such heroic sslf-denial,
such upbearing under physical discomfort, such
patience in poverty, in distress, in absolute want
as we find in the Southern srmyi They fghs
better in bad cause than you do in good one;
they 6ght better fer passion than you do for =
sentiment We believe them to be misguided,
but we must do thsm the credit of saying they
fight we'll, and bear up ander trouble nobly
they suffer and donos complain they 20 in
rags, but do not rebel; they are in earnest for
their personal liberty they believe in IT, aud if
they can they mean to get it,"
Mr.. BeeebsT also denied that slavery was

within the lines Of the frontier army there are
yet three millions Of slaves. As yes, we learn
that they are docile, amenabls 10 the viii Of
