THE ORGANS.

In presenting the Automatic Organ, we boldly am
nounce the greatest triumph in musical instruments
Of the age. During the past half century, the French
and Germans have manufactured reed instruments
with double bellows, and tive pedals for the feet to
operate, but the want OF the reversed or Exhaustion
Bellows, (which is the only bellows used IN cur inst u
ments), made it impossible for them to produce the
mellow, rich and musical tone for which our instra-
nents are celebrated.
f1other objection to this method Of blowing was
that, both feet being occupied, no opportunity was Of
fered for the management Of the swell. Within the
past two years, instruments constructed en- this Euro
pean pieu OF "double bio Fors," have been manufact-
ured in this country, and to counIeraet this difficulty
(want OF a sget) a Lever has been projected from the
centre Of the instrument, to act upon the swell. and
operated by the knee. The Inconvenience and cOutor-
ton necessar- to effect this object are disagreeabie
ennugh to a gentleman, but TO q lady the use Of such
an appendage is nearly impossible.
Our Automatic device Obviates this difficulty entire
ly, the simple act Of blowing with more OF less force
giving the desired Increase or decrease in the volume
Of tone.
For seventeen years the superior excellence Of orr
helodeons has net been questioned, and for two years
past the enormous demand has made 1t impossible for
US TO meet our orders promptly. With our Increased
facilities, we feel warranted in assuring our patrons
that their orders Will be promptly met, and solicit q
continuance Of their patronage.

RETuRNED.-A gentleman who left our
town few months since, to try his fortune
in the "Big Bend" mining region, returned
during the present week. After long and
tedious journey he arrived at the "mines,"
and found that their marvellous richness, and
the rich strikes reported to have been made,
existed only in the Imagination of steamship
owners, and the merchants of Victoria. lie
informs US that the business men of Victoria
and other places frankly admit that they ere.
ated the excitement for the sole purpose of
bene6ttine themselves, and that as their plan
only partially succeeded, they "might as
well sell out and leave the country" Our
informant tell us that one half the buildings
in Victoria, Yale, Westminster, and other
towns, are empty. and that with the excep-
ton of the short-lived impetus given to trade
by the Big Bend bubble, business of all
kinds is at stand still. He also informed
US that there is not now, nor never has been,
any amount of dust shipped from that Dis
trict. While at the mines he ascertained
that the reports which were in circulation
last year, in regard to the fabd4ous richness
of the discovery Claim" as it was called.
were false. and that the company never took
cent out of the claim at any time. Our in
formant thinks that Calaveras county is as
good place to live in as he wants, and that
he has no desire to visit any more new min
ing excitements at present. Those of our
citizens who contemplate visiting Montana,
Idaho, and other far-distant mining fields.
should think twice before they leave section
of country which abounds in minerals of ev-
cry description, and which only need little
energy and patience to develop them. for the
trials. deprivations and uncertainties of 9TH
er mining localities. 5l
