MELODEANS,
THIRTY-FIIE THOUSAND NOW NUsl
Every Instrument warranted for FiveYear.

presenting the AUTOMATIC ORGAN, we
boldly announce the greatest triumph in must
cal instruments of the age. Duung the past half
century, the French and Germans have manufac-
tured reed INSTRUMENTS with double bellows and
Two pedals Tor the feet to operate, but the Of
the reversed OF Exhaustion Beilows,(wh ch s the
only bellows used la our nstrume nts J made il i'm
possible Tor them to prodace The mellow, rich and
musical tone tor which our instruments are ceIe-
brated. r-a-s. ..-s.-H -t-r . -
Another objection to this method of blowing
was, that both feet being occupied, no opportuni-
~ was offered for the infringement of the swell.
hthln the past two ears, instruments construct
cd on tins Edropesn plan CT 90 double blower,,'
have been manufactured in this country, and to
eounteract this difficulty want Of swelI) lever
has been projected from the centre of the instru
ment, 10 act upon the swell, and operated by the
knee. The inconvenience and contortion neces
sary to effect this object, dIsagreeabe enough
TO gentleman, bat To- lady the use of such an
appendagefs nearly i'm possible. "a ~
Our Autmatic device obviates this difficulty en-
tlreiy, rhe simple act OF blowing with more less
force giving the desired increase or decrease in
the volume OF tone. For seventeen years the
superior excellence of our Melodeons has not
been questioned, and tor two years past the enor-
nous demand has made il impossible for US TO
meet our orders promptly. With our increased
facllitles, we feel warranted in assuring pat
rons that their orders will be promptly met, and
sollcft a continuance OF their patronage. 4, ---

>WAsu1NoroN, September 2l.-Two gon-
tlomen from Mississippi, whoarrivcd here
today, and who have como North on
business connected with the railroads in
that State, give most interesting and
highly encouraging account Of the cendi-
ton Of affairs in Mississippi. Everything
was moving harmoniously and amicably
between Gov. sharkcy and the military
authorities. The organization Of the
State militia was proceeding vigorously,
the enrolment being now completes The
minimum strength of the regiments will
be 600 rank and file. The uniform will
be the United States regulation pattern,
with the small, close fitting cap. Each
regiment will carry two flags, the same
as the militis regiments in the Northern
States, namely, the United States flag
and the State flag, containing the coat OF
arms and the motto of the State and the
number and designation of tho regiment.
Under the wise and firm administration
of Gov. Sharkey, business Of all kinds S is
rlseviving in all parts of the State, and the
people everywhere feel that their lives
and property are secure. Desperadocs
and ali lawless characters are fast disap-
nearins as the State is entirely too hot
to hold them. There is abundant en-
ployment for all the negroes, and, indeed,
the great want of the State is efficient Ia
.bor But too many of tho negroes prefer
to live in idleness. Gen. Slocum has been
appealed to, in many eases, to compel
them to fulfill their contracts to work. :
