BILL1ARps.-A friend recently in Boston
hands US diagram of "shots" recently
made in that city by the new billiards star,
Monsieur Csrme; the name, by . slight
change would have been corom very I'D
propriate.--We never dreamed that cue
in the hands of mortal could DO made 80
obedient to tho holder Is these diagrams
demonstrate. Mr.. Carme, through an in.
terpreter, called his shots; Mr.. Phelan
announced them, and the player made
them. Of course we cannot describe them
with pen, but they are so remarkable as
to surprise Mr.. Phelan the great American
Cue and to lay Mons Berger entirely in the
stade. Our Bostonian friend witnessed
the play and certifies to the correctness of
the diagrams. .... ...
The most elegant game is Billiards, but
it costs much money to learn it and vast
deal of time to practice it. Our young
readers are advised to let it alone; its fas.
cination is almost irresistible.

Ma. H. c. 6corr-Dear Sir:-It gives mo great
pleasure to add my testimony to that which you already
have in favor Of the Hallet Davis Co. Piano pur.
chased 20 months ago. There has been but ono opinion
expressed by my many musical friends who have tried
It, and that IT, that It is unsurpassed for brilliancy
purity and fullness of tone, and for very powerful
though remarkably easy and elastic action. Another
very important feature in these Pianos is the great
length Of time they stand in tune. can cheerfully
and confidently recommend these instruments to any
wishing to purchase a. being second to other make.
The patent suspension bridge lately introduced into
these instruments gives them volume Of tone, sength
and durability which i not affected by sudden or ex-
reme changes Of the weather like many cheaper makes
