The Mason and Hamlin Cabinet Organs
Ten Thousand Organs q Year.

The Mason and Hamlin Organ Company
have recently purchased two acres of land in
Cambridgeport, and erected another factory
for the making of their various styles of Or
gans. The Grand Junction Railway, which
connects the several railroads running into
Boston, passes just in the rear of their Cam
bridgeport lot, and will lay down all the ma
terials used in their business at their door, and
SO obviate the expense of carriage.
The Mason and Hasnlin Company have
hitherto produced more Cabinet Organs than
any other manufacturer IN the world, and
more than double the number produced by
any other manufacturer in this country. But
the demand for their instruments has been so
great, that at no time for several years have
they been able to fill their orders. With the
will afford them, they can turn out two
hundred instruments every week, or more
than ten thousand year-enough, one would
suppose, to supply the whole world.
The Mason and Hamlin organs have increas-
ed in excellence as rapidly as in numbers
Each year some marked improvement has
been made in style or quality. Scientific ex-
pertinent and skilled workmanship have COM
bined to make better what was at first very
good, until ROW these organs have most en-
viable reputation in Europe not less than in
America, and are in large demand there as
well as here. But the Company are not yet
satisfied. Only this year, June 21 and August
%, they procured patents for improvements,
which experts pronounce very important and
which will undoubtedly add largely to the
value and desirableness of these favorite in
struments. Saturday.
A WASHINGTON special of the 23d says
the movement to effect reorganization
of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations is being vigorously pushed.
It seems as If the intimations Morton
and Conkling made in debate that the
time had come when Sumner should be
forced to give up his place on the com
mittee, were but the expressions of
what was insisted on at the White
House. The plan now has been ex
tended to include Schurz, and if
strength enough can be secured in eau
Gus, Patterson also. After Sumner, the
committee consists of the following
Senators, ranking in the order named
Cameron, Harlan, Morton, Patterson,
Schurz and Casserly. The object is to
make Morton chairman, and for this
Cameron is expected to yield his right
to promotion, and remain second.
| Conkling is the choice of those working
for change for Patterson's place. It
is not believed, by any, that this
scheme can receive majority vote In
open Senate, but the plan is to get the
Republicans into caucus, where it is
| believed that the President can secure
a majority, and then to insist that all
in the partyA46ll be bound by caucus
/ action on the floor of the Senate

CAUSES OF SUDDEN DEATH.

Very few of the sudden deaths which
are said to arise from ''diseases of the
heart" do really arise from that cause
10 ascertain the real origin of sudden
deaths, experiments have been tried in
Europe and reported to scientific Con-
gress held at Strasbourg. Sixty-six cases
Of sudden death were made the subject of
thorough post-mortem examination; in
these only two were found who had died
from disease of the heart. Nine of sixty
six had died from appolexy, while there
were forty-six cases OF congestion of the
lungs-that is, the lungs were so full OF
blood they could not work, there not being
room enough for a sufficient quantity OF
air to enter to support life. The causes
that produce congestion of the lungs are
cold feet, tight clothing, costive bowels,
sitting still chilled after being warmed
with labor or a rapid walk, going too sud
denly from close, heated rooms into the
cold air, especially after speaking, and
sudden depressing news operating on the
blood. The causes of sudden death being
known, an avoidance of them may serve
to lengthen many valuable lives which
would otherwise be lost under the verdict
of "heart compliant. That disease is
supposed to be inevitable and incurable;
hence. many may not take the pains they
would to avoid sudden death II they knew
it lay in their power. ECLECTIC

Breckenridge, the New York World, the Louis

Governor Scott Of South Carolina concur in

colors, is is no longer possible for the most
pig headed Northern Conservative to affect 20
ignore them. Gov. Scott of South Carolina
in his formul requistion tor troops, says that
the rebel iolce lis thoroughly equipped, hav
ing its field, staff and line officers and estab-
lished lines of communication" Mail routes
have to be abandoned in Kentucky, and in
Sou'h Carolina the Legislature is protected
from assault. only by an armed force. Under
these circumstances there is certainly good
reason in Gen Buffers appeal to the House
on Tuesday, to remain in session till some
means OF protecting the loyal citizens of the
South from murder can be devised. There is
reason, too, for the New York Tribunes ap
peal to the same body and "to the most seri-
!, Gus thought OF the country" There ought to
be no party division on such question as
g this. Democrats OF the Northern States ought
to unite cheeriully with their political oppon-
