MEEODEANS.
THIRTY-FIvE THOUSAND NOW In USE
Every Instrument warranted for EiveYears

| n presenting the AUTOMATIC ORGAN, we
i boldly announce the greatest triumph in must
cal instruments of the age. During the past half
century, the French and Germans have manufac-
tureo reed instruments with double bellows, and
two pedals Tor the feet to operate, but the want of
the reversed or Exhaustion Bellows, VIII ch is the
only bellows used In our Instrumen ts, made 1t i'm
musical tone for which our instruments are cele-
brated.
Another objection to this method of blowing
was, that both feet being occupied, no opportunI-
~ was offered for the management of the swell.
Within the past two ears, instruments construct
ed on this European plan CT 90 double blowers,' %
have been manufactured in this country, and to
counterfeit this difficulty (want of a swelD lever
has been projected from the centre of the instru
ment, to act upon the swell, and operated by the
knee. The Inconvenience and cOntortion neces
sary to effect this obj disagreeabe enough
to gentleman, but 10 a lady the of such an
aPPendage is nearly impossible.
Our Autmatic device obyates this difficulty en-
trely, the 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 Melodeons has rot
been questioned, and tor two years past the enor-
nous demand has made It impossible for us to
meet our orders promptly. With increased
facilities, we feel warranted in assuring pat
rons that their orders will be promptly met, and
solicit continuance of their patronage.

Baron Munchauren IN India---A
Buffslo-Tigor Story,

A paperpublished in India tells this
remarkably exciting story about an
adventure there Of an enthusiastic
entomologist
"One very hot day, shouldering
his chronological net, and with his
bottle of cyanide Of potassium in his
pocket for tho purpose of killing his
specimens, he had succeeded III taking
several species of moths and beetles,
when suddenly emerging on an open
space, a gigantic female buffalo charg-
ed right down upon him. Quick as
Lightning the narrator sprang up a
tree which fortunately happened to be
near, and almost before he hal COM
fortably setteld down upon one of the
branches, buffalo calf appeared upon
the scene, and both mother and off
spring sat down at the foot of the
tree, directly under his position. In
order to attract tho attention of his
friends who were in the neighborhood,
or Of any native who might happen
to be near, he shouted until he was
hoarse. Ever and anon, by way of
variation, with tho vain hope of fright
ening away the buffalo, he awakened
tho EXTREMIST echos of the Jungle with
his yells, and perpetrated tho most
hideous noise ever produced by the
human voice. All was Of no avail ;
no friendly hand came to aid him,
and the brute still lay placidly licking
and caressing its calf. He was about
to assume standing attitude in the
tree, when suddenly his left hand,
with which he had seized branch
above his head, was severely stung or
bitten by some insect or animal. =
Starting with the acute pain, rs the
fear of whip or tree snakes passed
through his mind, he involuntarily
loossl his hold of the brough, and,
thus deprived of support, he lost his
balance and foil from his place of ref
ugc. He dropped on tho b1fialo's
back, and in the next instant was
carried away at q tremendous pace
through the long thick grass Of the
Jungle. 1t was difficult matter to
keep his seat, whom all at once the
Buffalo sprang into a largo tank,
and he was immersed up to his mock
in water. Unable to swim ho was
obliged to cling to tho brute, which
for time swan round and round the
pool at her pleasure. He only hoped
his legs would not DO soized by one OF
tho alligators, of which no had seen
several in the water during the day.
lI an, to his infinite horror, a singing
X ,nsation in his leg made him feel
sure he had again bsea bitten by
another kind of serpent And still
the buffalo showed no signs OF roturn-
ing towards the land, when just as he
thought she was preparing to lay down,
no dug his heels into her side and do
livered random blows with his fist on
her head and neck. Then, striking
out for land, tho brute speedily reach
ed the shore, on gaining which she
again commenced her mad gallop. "A
few minutes brought thon to tho spot
from which the animal had started,
whe-c the calf was still standing. The
