HERRING's SAFES AT THE GREAT FIRE
AT JEFFERSON, TExAs.-That it will be inn
possible hereafter to doubt the absolute pro
lection given to books and papers by the
Herring Champion Safe must be confessed
by all who read the certificates Of citizens of
Jefferson, Texas, which we publish in our
advertising columns this morning. The
parties who make these certificates are all
well known merchants and do business with
our dealers, and are not myths; and, in
making their statements about their safes,
do not dodge the question, but come square
to the point. Everything was saved" say
Messrs. Faulkner g. Scherck. sits contents
were perfectly preserved" testify Messrs.
Grinnan & Wayland. 1.-THE safe preserved
its contents uninjured," says Mr.. D. j.
Sheehan, who further states, that ut affords
me pleasure to announce it to the public. !"
This is the sort Of testimony that tells the
value OF thing-nO prevarication-no hest
tation.

America has received great benefits from
the mature civilization of the Old World,
but has certainly reciprocated the benefit
in reactionary Improvement upon what she
has received from the Old World. Any one

ing piano, of which, with other splendid
American instruments, Mr.. Blackmar il
the agent, will be convinced that in the
construction of pianos the United States il
behind no nation in the world. This il
proved by the united testimony Of all the
great masters of the instrument-Liszt,
Thalberg, Kellerer, Wehle, Jael, Code
froid, Heller, Kuhe, Balfe, Gounod and
Gottschalk, the last being the only Ameri-
can in the list. All these consummate mas
tiers Of the piano join together in indorsing
the words of List, the greatest pianist the
world has ever seen, who, in the only lines
he ever wrote in praise of any piano, says:

piano perfect" Thalberg said The
Chickering pianos are unequaled in Ameri-
ca, and unsurpassed in Europe" Black.
