. A MUSICAL SENSATION. From the London
papers we see that the introduction of the 5.
ID. g. II. W. Smiths American organ has Gre
ated quite a sensation in musical circles of
that city. The large establishment of Breav-
ington & Co. have secured the agency from
the Messrs Smith, and the sale has been so
large that the manufacturers have been un-
able to supply the numbers required. The
English have heretofore pridcd themselves
upon the superiority Of their musical instru-
ments, especially upon the organs and pianos;
hence the introduction and so large sale of
the another American triumph.
Chickerng & Sons, after having received a
gold medal at the Crystal Palace Worlds Fair,
in London, established an agency there for
their pianos. Since then, Cramer 4 Co. OBJ
tanned the Steinway agency, and the result
was that in the lato Paris Exposition, the
pianos OF the American manufacturers took
the first premium over all the European
makers. and The demand for the Steinway and
Chickering pianos from Europe is nearly
equal to the home demand. The number OF
instruments OF their make in ! ouisvillc Is said
to be larger thanln any city Of its size IN the
United States. showing the high order OF
musical talent Of our people. Mr.. FAuLps
having been representative IN Louisvllle'
Ky., since 1851 has sold very largely of them
throughout the South.

most against him in the contest is the
fact of his being from the same section
of the State as Senator Brownlow, aud
in this connection Mr.. E5beridge is a
very formidable opponent, But since
the party iu power did not elect Senator
Bruwulow that matter need not weigh
heavily. Mr.. Etheridge deserves to be
