A MUSICAL NovELTY.-The introduction Of
Mason & Hamlin's Cabinet Organs has devel-
oped new musical features which are creating
a sensation. In combination with the piano,
or with piano, violin and violoncellO, enter
tainments that were extremely interesting and
attractive have been given in Boston and New
York. A variety of music has been prepared
expressly for these concerts, and it is very
beautiful. Foreign composers of eminenCe are
turning their attention to this new field. We
can imagine nothing more pleasing in our mu-
steal experience than one Of the above named
concerts Boston journal.

Boston Market nen.

Jolly fellows are the market men, keen
Judges OF human nature, aud great lovers
OF good joke. Mr., Podsnap, whose
limited means and lofty pretensIons are
well known in the market, was down
there the other morning, and after eye
ing over the tempting contents o. Front
de Bouts stall, said lightly:
Well, Mr.. f., don't see anything lit
to eat here,-think | shall gave to go
home and look into my pork barrel"
"Sure to fed hogs head there when
you do" grunted Front de Boeuf, soto
vOes, to the intense delight of his white.
frocked comrades,
Again-one OF those miserable devils
who was attached " TO a disreputaole
sheet formerly published in Boston,
walked into the market one day, and
accosting Collops, thriving dealer in
meat, and father OF a family, informed
him that an article had been prepared
for the Weekly Stop Jar, rejecting on
his character, and accusing him of Ger.
tain pecadilloes, &C., that he, (the in
former) had seen the article, and know
ing Mr.. Collops's high standing, thought
that he might not like such thing TO
appear for the sake OF his family, &c.
II Mr., Collops liked, he would use his
influence with the editor to prevent its
appearance, which added TO trifle of
ten or fifteen dollars for the trouble of
setting up and distributing the article,
might induce him to withdraw it.
Collops looked at the fellow moment
as he would at critter about to be
knocked in the head, and then slowly
enclosing his sinewy fingers, which had
involuntarily doubled themselves into a
fist about the size of calls head, he
said: Look here, my fine fellar, you
jest go home, take bath, put on clean
shirt and your best clothes, and come
. down here agin', and I'll give you the
dist licking you ever dreamed OF !"

PEACH AND HoNEY.-0ld Judge Cole
OF Texas, was characterized by his
attachment to the seductive drink called
"peach and honey" and by his hatred
OF whiskey and whiskey drinkers. While
holding q court at Austin, two men
were brought up on charge OF drunken
atray. 1t was plain case, the row
had occurred in the open streets, ia
open day, and there were fifty witnesses
to the whole transaction. So the two
delinquents pleaded guilty, by the advice
Of the counsel, and threw themselves on
the mercy of the court.
"You are guilty Of an ARRAY" growled
the Judge.
Drunk, suppose" grunted the
Judge.
Yes your Honor" murmured the
prisoner, with some faint hope that
having been drunk would mitigate the
punishment.
Drunk on rye whiskey, too, I'll
warrant" roared the Judge in voice OF
thunder.
eyes your Honor, drunk on rye
whiskey."
Mr.. Clerk, record a fine of fifteen
dollars against this man." cried the
Judge. Send him to Jail for sixty
days. shall find the next one who is
guilty under such aggravating circum-
stances hundred dollars and send him
to Jail for six months"
This was poor comfort for the unfor-
tunate fellow who was waiting his turn,
who now came forward with tear and
trembling. AS he passed along by his
lawyer that thoughtful gentleman whis.
pered in his ear, when the Judge asks
you what you got drunk on, tell him
peach and honey"
He took the stand.
You, too, are up here for an affray,
growled the Judge, gnashing his teeth
as if he would like to bite the prisoner
st the bar.

The Judges features relaxed in an in.
slant. Leaning forward and raising his
spectacles, he contemplated the offender
with interest, and addressed him with
something like tenderness.
"Ah sir" said the Judge blandly
"peach and honey, Ell That's gentle

A CHICAGO MARRIAGE.-Thel last nOta.
BILE thing recorded in Chicago, where so
many strange things happen, is mar.
riage after three minutes courtship.
The affair came of about in this wise
A German girl paid the fare of her lover,
with whom she came from Europe few
months ago, sued him to recover the
amount because he refused TO marry her.
On the day Of the trial the young man
fell dead just before he was to appear for
examination. The story went abroad in
the papers and attracted the attention OF
Charles Dietrich, a substantial farmer Of
Aurora, ILL.,, and lone widower, who
thought he could readily secure the Ger
man lassie, thus bereft, and once more
enjoy the bliss OF welded life. With this
purpose in view he hied to Chicago, and
seeking the justice before whom the case
was brought, inquired for the fair young
German girl, but was met with the
crushing reply that she was married.
Mary had sought relief from pecuniary
troubles in the smiles of another lover.
But the ardent Charles was not to be
baked. A wife he would have. Com
municating his determination to the
Justice, that worthy introduced him to
blooming young waiter girl in a saloon
beneath the court room, and after q
courtship of three or four minutes
Dietrich and his new-tound love stood.
up before the Justice and were married.
Next day the happy pair left for Aurora.
The bridegroom is about forty-flye years
OF age and rather prepossessing, Many
years ago he married his first wife, who
went the way OF all flesh. His second
was given To the flowing bowl 80 ex-
cessively, and to castigating her hus-
band 80 fearfully that the latter obtained
a divorce. The twice.made widower is
now in his glory, having, as he says, an
atfectionate better-half, a counterpart Of
his first love OF long ago,
