Yankee, the hunter, revolutionary patriot,

sailor boy,-kiser sit will stop here" There
was in the gallery the dancing and waltzing of
the young people who did not mask. There it
was where Mr.. Orangeblossom danced with the
lovely Rosa Peachbud, and there We saw the
young mans arm dis.located around the lady's
waist and she said it did not make waist

except an old fashioned sailors rig, minus
the long stockings for the knee breeches. The
young man was in a dilemma, but the lady who
rented the masks came to his rescue. She stoop.

They fitted his shaAks to a dot, with the aid of
two newspapers, copies of the Republican, which
were used for stutfing where the calves ought to

as one of the Leading pianos of the day. Mr. r "
ert Goldbeck, Director of the Conservatory Of
Music, says:
"Greatly pleased and satisfied as I am with
their beautiful tone-so deep and powerful in
the bass speaking and sympathetic in the mid
die, brilliant and ringing in the trebel-I con,ii-
er it circumstance of no inferior importance
that they have resisted SO nobly, and with full
success, the trying influences of constant by
a very large number of players. They have lost
nothing in the quality Of their tone, and the ae.
tion is as good now as at first"
The newly invented Steck Cabinet Grand or
Upright Piano for which the Company received
patent in March, 1870 combines the sonorous
tone of Grand aud the sweetness of Square
Piano. 1t occupies less than half the space of an
ordinary Piano, and is therefore very desirable
instrument where economy in room is an object

ADvERTIsE-Whea any show, exhibition,

ignorance of their profession or sort of skin
Mint penuriousness, but having really good en-
tertainments to offer the public, expect it to ad.
vertise Itself by its own merits. This plan
always fails. In these times when printers work

is printed and published that is within their
reach, it is expected that they will learn
In thelr newspaper or On the bulletins ex-
sctly the character Of any entertainment offered
them before they have seen it. Then each per-
son may suit his taste about patroniziug it.
There have been several really good exhibitions

their managers trusted to obscure dingy slips Of
paper, scattered sparingly in out-of-the.way
corners, or carried in some ones pocket. This
is equally true to all kinds of business. 1t is
