Honor TO WHOM HoNOR Is DUE.-We observe !,
in one of Blaekmsr's handsome show windows,
the diplomas awarded by the committee on musi-
cal Instruments, at the late State Fair. to Messrs.
VIM. Knsbe & Co., of Baltimore, for the best
grand and square pianos. The diploma, as most Of
our readers know, ranks first in the list of pre-
miums, and well do the magnificent instruments
of Knsbe & Co. deserve this indorsementof their
superiority. Their most noted peculiarly is their
durability. While the pianos Of one or two other
hrst-clsss makers resemble them in power and
briliaDcy of tone when new, the Knabe piano re-
tsins the same full, round. deep bass and clear,
ringing treble for years after the tone Of some
other pianos has worn down to a thin. sharp, wiry
sound that Is anything but musical.

CHE ORESOENT'S DISPATCHES
FROM WASH TON.
THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL
icquitial Of the President Certain.

Special to the New Orleans Creseentl
WASHINGTON. May 9.-Yesterday opinions in
regard to the result Of the impeachment trial fuc-
tusted very greatly. The radicals professed, for
a time, to know that the president would be oon-
yicted; but the other side seemed sure Of their
ground, and claimed that at least twenty votes
would be given for acquittal. To-day it is posi-
lively ascertsined that scsuittal is sure. or this
there can now be no doubt. All efforts have
failed to shake the resolution Of the senators who
are determined to vote according to the law and
the evidence. 1t is thought that opposition to
Wade. and the certainty that conviction would
ruin the Republican party, are powerful motives
with snti-impeachment radicals.

one instance known to me of a lady endanger

the question. A boat lay locked at our feet,
and VIC had neither the key nor the courage
to row, had we possessed loosened boat.
We applied at a house near. The gentleman
being absent the lady volunteered to procure
them, unlocked the boat, and for tho first
time piled oars. For time all went well !;
suddenly the lady lost balance and fell ovefE

but the submerged rose and swan like a
mermaid, regained the boat, and notwith>
standing our frantic entreaties for her return,
persisted in accomplishing her object. We
