connisesrs of music This Instrument man.
ufactured In &c. Louis, IN specially adapted
to our climate a. the host Of Testimonials
exhibited By the agent win show. This
piano has stood the test of n most severe and
critical examination by eminent profession
ala In way, which gives It an enviable and
| fully equal place among the most celebra-
ted that are made. Possessing cxtraordina-
~ power for square instrument, it's most
noticeable features are the peculiar purity
and sweetness OF tone, the clear bell-like
singing quality Of its music, and particularly
an exquisite evennes and softness OF touch
90 dearly priced by all pianIsts. 1t is une-
quivocally a real triumph. The company
| have made some new and very valuable
| Improvements in the movement and arrange
ment, which especially improve the upper
notes Of the treble. giving a beautifully soft
| yet distinct ringing resonance, to even the
highest notes OF the register. Musicians,
whether professional or amateurs, are par
ticularly invited to cali and satisfy them
selves, rs all are perfectly free to use the in
strument; and the opirion of the numbers
who have already tried It is, that there is no
test, however severe, from which this piano
would not emerge with credit. It may be
added that the company propose to introduce
these throughout the entire South, at price
much lower than those at which its equals
can be obtained.
The Committee in awarding premiums at

Co. feel in justice bound to speak IN warm
praise of she exquisite perfection of the
workmanship, and add that they consider
| the instrument an honor TO the city. They

favor but have decided in view of the in
contestible superiority over every square
instrument exhibited In the building"
THE KNABE PIANO
Is on exhibition by Mr.. E. Bloom, of this
city. The great reputation which this Piano
enjoys throughout the United States, and
the special popularity which they have ac-
quired in the Southern States, render I'M
necessary any detailed description. The
mandatory of the Knabs Piano Company,
is at Baltimore, and there are few larger es-
adjustments of the kind in the world. More
than an acre of ground is covered with
buildings devoted to their manufacture
We think IL can be safely asserted that more
of the Knabe instruments have been pur-
chased In the South within the last ten years
than any other. IL has carried of gold
medals at numerous fairs and exhibitions In
other States, when placed in competition
! with Pianos that heretofore have had almost
exclusive sway in the concert rooms and
parlors of our country. For perfect work
manship and depth and richness of tone, the
Knabe challenges the world.
A very competent Committee has been APP
pointed on Pianos, and a report will doubt
less be made TO day.
Opposite the Knabe Piano, on the second
floor, is an elegant case of
ARTIFICIAL LEGS AND ARMS
OF the celebrated Bly, Patent, placed on ex-
hibition by Mr.. Lewis Lockwood, OF st
Louis, where is located one of the manufac
tories for the manufacture of these usefu
substitutes for natures original. Our young
townsman, Charley Evans is in charge
this case of artificial limbs. He has beef
connected with the factory for nearly TIVE
years, and we are pleased to see that he /
one of Mr.Lockwood's right-hapd men. l
is the Bly, Leg that was selected after thor
ouGh inspection and competition, for tn
, MANNED soldiers of Mississippi, about tw'
hundred of whom are now wearing them
and without single complaint so far as W
have heard. Charley will. of course, tax
!, the blue ribbon. 1t is to be regretted tina
other manufacturers did not send samples
: for we are confident thy would then show t
still better advantage.
Near the Knabe Piano-we mention tina
so often because it is q centre of attraction
are the headquarters of the
GRCvER AND BAKER SEWING MACHINE
Company-Mr. E. III. Bement, of New Or
leans, being the exhibitor, assisted by lad
who thoroughly understands the use of thi
wonderful labor-saver. The extensive an
elegant display of articles manufactured o
this machine, is deservedly attracting tn
admiration and applause of all passers. w
noticed, among other things, a huntin
Jacket, embroidered table spreads, piIlo'
eases, infants roce, ladies skirt, gents shii
with corded bosom, etc. The Grover
: Baker Is evidently very simple in its cor
4 struction, but is very durable and light
running, and therefore just the thing fc
a family use, 1t will work, as we observed
from the very finest lace to dozen thick
nesses of woolens.
