CABisKT OReASs.-~ our advertising col.
umns will be found an advertisement Of
Messrs Mason g. Hamlin, whose cabinet Or
gans show the great Improvement made upon
reed instruments in this country, and have
given them the rank above all others of that
class in the world. They have been adopted
in hundreds of churches and in every case
their excellence is acknowledged. The certi-
fcates of more than one hundred and fifty of
the first organists in the Union, in praise of
these instruments, is an evidence that they are
of a superior order.
In speaking of these instruments, the Bos-
ton Daily Advertiser says:
" Foremost among all American makers
stand Messrs. Mason & Hamlin, whose cabinet
organs now represent the highest accomplish
ments of industry In this department. TAX
ing for their starting point, more than ten
years ago, the remembered melodeon with its
thin, sharp tone, produced on the foreign
plan of forcing the air. they have gone on
step by step, until they have reached posi-
ton beyond which the enlargement Of reed
organs cannot for the present be advantageous
ly continued. Leaving to others the manu-
facture OF instruments of smaller compass,
they have given all their energies to produc-
ing the best possible specimens of the class
they advertise, and it is nothing more than
truth to say that they have succeeded. This
is not only our opinion, but the unanimous
verdict of the organists and musicians who
have examined these organs and have often
subjected them to long and severe tests, and
whose names have been signed by scores to
the testimonials of favor which have been Free
ly given. The early name, Harmonium, was
changed by Messrs. Mason & Hamlin, to Cab
met organ, to avoid confusion with the instru-
ments Of different principle, and to indicate
the capacity and quality of their manuiac-
ture.
In brief, the result of much experiment and
thought enables them to give in their organs
tone, the volume and purity of which cannot
be exceelled in the present stage of mechanic
art, and which is qualified, in the various
grades, to correspond with the several stops
which are included in the range Of reed manu-
facture. In addition to all these excellent
qualities of tone and mechanism, Messrs. Ma
son d. Hamln have an invention which places
their organs above all others, by its simplicity
and effectiveness. This is the Automatic
Swell--a continuance by which the swell box
can be opened or closed at the players will by
the sole action of the bellows, with more accu-
racy than is possible with the ordinary de-
tached lever-an advantage that the amateur
or professional musician will appreciate at
once. This improvement certainly makes the
Cabinet organ the most complete instrument
of its class in the world"
Professor Henry S. Edwards, organist Of
State Street Church, is Agent for the sale of
these instruments in this city and vicinity.

WIN. SHREvE BAILEY This gentleman
will be remembered as the editor and proprie-
tor Of paper called "The Free South, which
was published at Newport, KY, devoted to
the cause Of Emancipation, who was mobbed
in that city by proslavery ruffians, and had
his press and property destroyed. This was
in Get, 1889. In August, 1860, he succeeded
in re-issuing his paper, aud upon the appear
ance Of the.irst number he was arrested and
the law of the state, passed in March previous,
which provided
"That If any free person write or print, or
cause to be written or printed, any book or
other thing, with intent to advise or incite
negroes in this State to rebel or make insur-
rection, or intoxicating resistance TO the rights
of property of masters in their slaves, or if
he shall, with intent TO aid the purposes of
any such book or writing, knowingly circulate
the same, he shall be confined in the peniten-
tiary not less than one, nor more than five
years."
Mr.. Bailey was released on ball. but the
action was not finally dismissed, so that he
would have his liberty to go and come at
pleasure, until Nov, 1868. He is now making
an effort to re-establish his paper, believing
the public feeling of Kentucky will protect
him, and hoping to aid in wiping the curse of
slavery from his noble old State. He has been
in Boston, where friends have aided him nobly
AS they have in New York and he now
lacks only about $500 of the requisite sum.
He is now-or will be to-day - in our city,
hoping to find that sympathy which he has
met with elsewhere. He is fully endorsed by
such men as Gov. Andrew, Amos A. Law
renee, and other distinguished friends OF
Emancipation. We commend him to our
fellow-citizens.
