S. D. & H. w. SMITHS ORGANS

THE AMERICAN ORGANS are the ONLY REAL REED ORGANS now before the public. The only Organ having a REMEMBERING SOUND FOX or WIND CHEST-which has the same important part to perform as the Sounding Board has in the Piano Forte (to give body and resonance of toae) and without which the Organ becomes merely Melodeon in an Organ Case The American Organs not only have the Wind Chest or Sound Box, but have the large Organ Bellows giving power and great steadiness of tone. These with their extreme fine voicing of the Reeds and perfect ing of the tone, make them the MOST PER- FECT ORGAN KNOWN. These great improve ments and superiority of tone and workman ship of the AMERICAN ORGANS place them in the front rank as the best, and command a higher price than any other reed instrument in the Market. A careful examination of them in comparison with others will quickly show their superiority.

TnoUGHr FOR THE DIscoNTENTED.--In the
days of the Old Brewery, at the Five Points,
New York, woman and her only daughter, a
child five years of age, occupied loathsome
corner on the first floor. 1t was the custom of
the mother, after having covered the child with
all the rags which had been collected during the
day, to place few broken boards, dignified by
the title of door, in such position as probably
kept the horrible place half degree warmer
than it would have been without such shelter.
On one occasion, after the mother had adjusted
the board for the night, the child probably ex-
pericncng some sensations of comfort, said =

Pelton and the School Marine.

Some time since, at San Francisco, ]. c. Pei
ton, City Superintendent of Schools, stated be-
fore the Board of Education that he could sup
ply good and efficient teachers for the Public
lie Schools at $25 month. The remark seems
to have aroused the indignation of the city press,
and the Dramatic Chronicle vents its portion in
the following ditty:
O, school-marms and listen,
And will sing ditty,
or what took place a short time since
In this great western city.
Here muscles in demand my dears-
And isn't it pity,
That brains at a discount IN
This famous western city
There is a man named Pelton here
Hes sometimes rather skitty,
And says queer things in public, in
This rch enlightened city
Now funkeys smart, you all know,
High wages claim most gritty,
And to work cent the less,
If they must leave the city.
But Pelton says that school-marms here,
(Perlaps he esteems this witty,)
Will teach for fve-and-twenty "scads"
month in this big city.
So school-marms rise in league against
This noisy man SO vain, dears,
Your biggest waterfalls take down,
And IsA him the brain, dears.

Southern Opinion OF Thad. stevens.

We have lavished o vast deal of abuse on
Thad. Stevens and his friends in Congress,
without allowing that the principal figure in
the group had single redeeming feature. Our
people have been fattered with the picture of
this man as an old, uncouth, badly executed,
and vindictive damagogue from the backwoods
of Pennsylvania, holding office and welding
influence simply by the force of his ultra opin-
ions, and the obstinacy with which he maintain
ed them. His violence has been attributed to
losses incurred by himself during the war. We
committed the same error of judgment in the
outset of the war; by dscreditng the willing
ness or the capacity of the North to prosecute
a similar mistake in supposing that any consid-
cradle minority of the Northern people would
forcibly resist the attempt to coerce the seeded
States. The immense calamities which have re-
suited to US from the two first great mistakes
should induce us to hesitate before forming con-
clusions that time and experience may disprove,
possibly after great evils have resulted. Let us
form correct estimates of men and things before
we decide on their worth. Give to Stevens all
the credit he deserves, and then we shall be bet
ter able to determine what degree of evil he can
int1ict upon us. We owe it to ourselves to
measure forces-the brute and the bully are
wise enough to do so, and shall we be less prov
ident than they. Stevens is lawyer of ability
and politician of great energy, an educated
iu'tl uuu aI cdIHcSG LullhtI lHcTc 10 uO
of this. His position in Congress fixes his Ca
pacty. He is leading man in Pennsylvania by
the sheer force of intellect, and his ideas are ac
cepted with readiness by the Northern peo-
pie. He is leader of the masses, and no one
of his enemies even accuses him of being less
than fool or more than fanatic. Knavery is
not charged to his account as it is to Buffers :;
he is not chameleon, as Raymond is. We
know his position, and that he will hold it, 1t is
proper that we should understand such man,
and how he can be moved. 1t is possible that
the South has made a mistake in Stevens, as she
did in Johnson. Probably she has not made al
lowance for his earnest ..ature, which, like our
own impassioned speeches, say more than the
head will enforce. His oratory is fervid, and his
sentences may be extravagant. We may find
him a better friend than some who bid higher
for our influence. He has but recently defended
Jefferson Davis from the assaul.s of malice and
injustice. His fury withered petty opposition
towards captive with equal Indignation that it
bazed against recusant secessonists. He pro-
claimed justice to the Confederate leader with
the same vehemence that he deman ed it for the
freedmen. Conscience opposed an er post tdcto
law for the injury of Davis; and announced that
no man could be punished as traitor, for Sc
cession, because the law did not reach the case.
Perhaps he is a better man than the South has
been lectured to believe. If he proves to be a
friend, may we not accept him as we did the
Presdent.-Neac Orleans Commercial.

THE TEST OArH.-McRuer, of California,
bolted the test oath, by voting against it
He was one of four Republicans to vote that
way. That will let him out of Congress on
and after the fourth of March, for we do not
believe that with this vote staring them in the
face the Union men of the First Congressional
District will renominate him. McRuer has got
through all his bills and had no more favors to
ask of the majority, so he could afford to follow
his natural bent. He can do no harm, and it is
better that he should be known now than here
after. And this is the man whom the Repub-
licans of San Francisco and the lower counties
nominated over the head of Cole, and sent to
Congress to represent them ! They made pref
ty mess of it, and deserve for their folly just
such treatment All the Federal officials in San
Francisco joined in the raid against Cole and in
favor of McRuer, and this is how he repays
them, by sustaining the Presidents policy. If
there is any hole big enough down there, they
should seek it and hide themselves from the face
of their felows.-Bee
