THE New Orleans Pcayune of the 8th
has the following local sketch: A lady, es-
cOrted Ivy gentlemen, was walking down
Canal street yesterday afternoon, when
suddenly and unaccountably the lacy
stopped. She flushed, trembled violently.
and then resorted to that happy female ex-
pedient crying.
''Why, my dear madam, what is the mat
ter ?" exclaimed the frightened escort.
"Oh, sir, I can't tell you"
The crowd surged by, looking in amaze
ment at the crying lady and the frightened
gentleman.
''Why, dear madam, what is the matter
Let US move on"
''Oh, no, sir, can't"
The escort evidently felt as did Ixion,
surrounded by the divinities. What was
fellow to do?
''Won't you tell me?"
"Oh, [ can't"
A little urchip, however, who just then
passed by, afforded the desired explanation:
81 say, mum, you'd better fasten up them

The MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN Coin the
course of less than twenty years this Com
pany have grown from q very small begin
ming, to be the most celebrated and extern
sive makers of instruments of the Organ
and Melodeon kind in the world, produc-
ing and finding demand for several times as
many instruments as any other makers
-Four large elephant tusks must be cut up
every week TO supply them with ivory for
keys; SO they must be said to consume two
large elephants per week Their Organs
rank highest, not only IN this counJry, but
also in Europe where the demand for them
is rapidly increasing.
This remarkable success is undoubtedly
owing greatly to their superior skill in this
speciality and to the very important i'm
provements they have effected in this class
of Instruments; but it is the result almost
IN equal measure, perhaps, of adherence
to, and energetic pursuit of certain prin-
ciples. Infexible rules with them are ~
to do the Uery best eoorEc only, availing them
selves OF every Improvement, and being
careful to suffer no inferior instrument to
leave their factory; and (2) to sell always
at smallest remunerative profits, having
fixed prices which are alike to ALL
Any one buying an Organ made by this
Company has the satisfaction of knowing
that he has one of the best instruments of
the class which can be made, and this at
the lowest price at which such work can be
afforded.
