the proposed Memphis, Grand Junction

of the matter before the Board Of Directo-

We have a letter from Mr.. France.
the vender of fresh meats in Chelsea, in
which he states that he is taxed S265 In
all, and that $3.50 of this sum is paid for
his city license. He complains of tho
hardship which fails heavily upon citizens
of districts recently Incorporated with the
city whose distance from the Poplar and
Beal street markets is so great that they
canno buy supplies there during the in
element winter'mOuths, The purpose of
the Board Of Aldermen IL evidently to
suppress green grocer establishments, and
in effecting this purpose, the writer al
leges that a great wrong is done the peO-
pie. We believe in free trade, and that no
such restrictions should be imposed.
Green grocers should be taxed like other
people, simply for purposes of revenue;
and if an enormous and unequal burden
have been imposed upon these vendors of
fresh meats and vegetables, persons in
terested should organize a combination by
which a new Board of Aldermen. or the
courts, may DO used to remedy evils com

Hall, we were attracted with hundreds of
others) to a piano made and exhibited by
the St. Louis Piano Manufacturing Com

dies and gentlemen of acknowledged taste
and Judgment. All We'd with each other
in praise Of this justly celebrated instru-
ment; pronounced fOrthe superiority OF
its quality OF one and power, its sonorOus
bass, brilliancy and l~iquidi.y oftreble and
the singing quality, the venne of scale
throughout, and the perfect touch sohigb-
iv priced by all pianists. This piano is
most beautifully and elaborotelv carved,
and too much cannot be said in praise of
its exquisite workmanship, ~rivallipg, If
not excelling the world-renowned Stein
way and Chickering. The pianos of the
st. Louis Manufacturing Company have
proved their superiority by direct compe-
tition with all the Different leading manu-
facturers, for they received the FIRST pre-
miuRs wherever exhibited. There is no lon
ger any room to doubt that u piano can be
manufactured among us as well as in the
East. This piano has stood the most Sc
we're and critical test, and now quietly
takes rank as a leading instrument. Its
Bell Treble is not eqnalled. Every person
visiting the Fair should see it, and exam
inc this our own manufacture.
