SPECIAL NOTICE.

CABINET ORGANS AT Low PRIcEs.-Some feeling
has been excited among the manufacturers Of Reed
Organs, by the low prices at which the Mason
Hamlin Organ Company are now offering their we'll
known instruments.
1t is claimed that instruments of such quality can
not be afforded at such prices, and that the compa-
ny are, therefore, by their course running the bust
ness Of other manufacturers without bene6ting
themselves The ground taken by the Mason
Hamlin Company is, that this course is only in ac-
cordance with their fixed policy to sell always the
best instruments at the lowest remunerative price
With the rapid growth of their business, which has
now assumed very large proportions they have been
enabled to avail themselves of new facilities, such
as improved machinery, that Notwithstanding
they are now producing the best Organs they have
ever made, the cost is at the same time reduced
and they can afford what seems to makers having
less facilities, to be ruinousy low prices for work of
such fine quality.
1t is admitted that no instruments can surpass
these and the ambition of most manufacturers is
satis6ad when they believe they are turning out Or
CANS "equal to the Mason HamHn."

hundred clamorous place-hunters ask for
every Office. Meanwhile he finds good, use
full, reliable workmen at nearly all times
scarce. They can fix their own wages by
'strike, and obtain steady situations when
ever they desire them.
The inevitable deduction from this condi-
ton of affairs is, that the means of practical
instruction in useful arts for boys as well as
girls should be greatly extended. 1t matters
little whether Young America can jabber
French or Latin if he knows how to build
houses or make shoes; and knowledge of
household affairs will prove more useful to
young ladies, no matter what may be their
future position in life, than all the accom-
plishments they can acquire. If they get both
it is well, but if either must be dispensed
with, let it be that portion of their training
which tends to intensity their helplessness.

SABBATH HOSPITALITLES.

''BRooKLYN may be the city of churches,
said cultured foreigner while in this coun-
try. several years since; ''but Philadelphia is
decidedly the city of church-going people.
At half-past four o'clock yesterday Sunday
morning, say our local colXmns, general
alarm was sounded by the tre-alarm tele-
graph, and Captain Shaw, of the London Fire
Brigade, was given an exhibition OF the skill
full workings of the Fire Department Phlla-
delphia is a big city, and the incontestable
proof of her bigness is this ability to skilfully
cater to different tastes. To be frank, critic
might point out few omissions in yester-
days exhibition, but what matters that when
Captain Shaw, true Briton, Expressed hlm-
self highly pleased with the performance
Seventy companies with alertness and
promptness' ''blocked up the neighborhood
of Broad and Buttonwood streets; but only
one engine gave practical sample OF what
the boys could do. Through some mishap a
good fire was not arranged, and it is modestly
suggested that in a subsequent perform
ance this oversight should be rectified The
practical efficiency of the department through
out can be truthfully attested from personal
experience Not sleeper within a radius OF

For one, Chief Engineer George Downey,
deserves and has won notoriety for this "per-
iormance.' As Chairman of the Committee
Oh reception, he rendered the hospitalities of
'ne city on Saturday afternoon; in company
with other ''notables' che graced the table"
at the hospitable banquet, and constituted an
address at these International festivities; as
Ohlef Engineer, he e(arranged and gave orders
Tor the general alarm: and/it seems almost
beyond cavil that itslwhole wondrous concep-
ton sprang from his brain, as Minerva in old
times from Jupiters soverburdened temples
thanks to his energy, some of the companies
mad chance to make very good time, and
thus Sabbath that bidfa to have some
ureary' Jog-t -trot featuresaboutit was enlivened.
oltizens who have looked upon the almost
empty reservoirs of the Sch,yll,ill, and manu-
tacturers who last week suspended their mills
at loss OF tens of thousands of dollars of
productive industries, are ENCOURAGED TO
believe things cannot be so bad when the
Philadelphia Engine showed what grand
stream 1t could throw, being fraternally sup
Piled by the Pennsylvania and America Hose
Companies. And as for the staid church
going people, who in nearly every church
that held service yesterday offered up wor-
shipful petitions to the Almighty 70; bountiful
showers of rain to avert an impending disaster
that may yet befall should their prayers not
be speedily answered, they need not look far
to find plain reason.
In the name of the Christians of Philadel
phia, who have made this city a real synonym
for brotherly love and godly deeds, and in
the name of Him not a iot of whose word
passes away, and who says, righteousness
exalteth nation, but sin debaseth any peo-
pie, it is fitting that some token should be
given to Chief Engineer Downey that will
show how the authorities stand. AMI indicate
who is on the Lords side. Let either
a resolution of thanks be rendered
to this new notable or let a
resolution of condemnation be passed by
City Councils in to-days session that
will be precedent of warning in time to
come that Christian community has some
rights of rest and of conscience that must be
respected. What shall the answer be?

all saved indeed, the bills out of the Safe
