A letter from Richmond, in the Norfolk

the newspapers in the former city, says The
quarrel is very pretty and promises sport to
outsiders" Now, if newspaper editors and
writer's would only think of it-that their quar-
rels do them no manner of good but only afford
ssport to outsiders there would be but few
of these controversies. --Alec Gazette.

THE GREAT SOUTHERN PIANO MANUFACToRy.
We refer with special pleasure to the advertise
ment of the Great Southern Piano Mandatory
of Messrs VIM. Knabe & Co., of Baltimore
This factory is now one of the largest in the
world it is magnificent five story structure,
fronting entire block on Eutaw ST.. and COW
ering, together with the Lumber Yards attached,
some two and one-half acres of ground. Three
hundred and fifty men are constantly employed
turning out over fifty instruments per week.
Among the thousand and one Pianos offered
to the public, we scarcely know any instrument
so fully uniting all the desirable qualities sought
for as the Knabe Piano. It is a matter of some
difficulty and perpleaity to inexperienced per-
sons to select good instrument of any capacity.
We too often rely upon the judgment of friends
in the selection of piano. and are thus frequent
ly disappointed The only sure way, in our
opinion, is to go to the best maker. For this
reason, we recommend to our readers to pur-
chase Pianos of VIM. Knabe 81 Co.'S manufac-
ture. This will relieve them the vexatious ne
cessity of wasting time in a long search. The
reputation of the Knabe Pianos is an infallible
guaranty of excellence. For durability we
would specially recommend them as being made
in Southern City, with special view to the try
ing changes Of Southern climate. 1t.

What Shall We Do

Under this heading, the Green6rier Indepen-
dent, edited by an ante-belluna Democrat, has a
we'll considered article, which breathes patri
otic spirit, from which We make the following
extract:
''We are free to confess that we would rath-
or support Democrat of the Old School on a
straight out Democratic platform, and hope
that the way may be SO clear that we will not
only have the pleasure Of supporting, but OF
helping to elect one on such platform. But
if we are once convinced Of the impracticatfli-
ty Of doing so, we are in for the next best thing
Aud what is next best? is the question for US
to consider in the event Of failing in the first.
1t is argued by some that ii our party had
dropped the name of Democrat" and as
sumed some other, not SO distasteful to anti
Democrats, we would Ions ago have triumph
ed We do not know how this may be, but
whilst we confess fo0duess for the name, we
have always coutended that there is nothing in
a name 1t has been the principles and not
the name that We have been c0ntending for
We care not what We are called, If We can have
our Government established upon a firm basis,
have the rights of the State respected. have
our Constitution amended, in Constitutional
way, leave the people tree to express their will,
and secure to us that palladium of our liber
ties, the writ of hobeds corpus, and not have it
suspended in time of profound peace, in or
der 10 secure the reelection Of our Chief Tx
ecutve, whose sworn duty it is to see that the
Constitution is preserved invlolate.
