1t affords much pleaure to give yol, In these
few lines, very sincere testimonial for the Piano
Fortes Of your manufacture. We have now used
the 'tPatent Arion Planes in our Conservatories
for year, and have had fair opportunity of test
ing their durability during that time. The Pianos
have been played upon almost constantly, from
morning till night, and Piano mist indeed be a
good one when it will bear such constant use with
out showing signs of detection. As for remaining
an tune, it out rivals any Piano known to me-
Their peculiar sweetness Of tone in the treble,
(as compared to other Pianos with the ordinary
metal 'agratfc arrangement Is so striking that
have had pupils remark, while taking their lessons
that although they had at home what they sup
pcsed to be of the best makes of Pianos, still
thetrcble was very wrcy tened compared with the
"ARI0N."
What makes them still more desirable is their
uniform volume tone. which enables an Artist to
perform composition in its true character
In total, can conscientiousy endorse all that Is
claimed by the Arion Piano Forte Company for
their superb instruments, as / consider them su-
perior to any other make.
Congra;ulating you upon the great success you
ave obtained in the manufacture of so perfect an
instrument, remain yours.
Very truly,
HENRY SCHROEDER,
Director.

CoLoRED MAsoNsREcoGNIzED.--Ihe
New York correspondent Of the San

New York correspondent OF sthe Oan
Francisco Chronicle writes
There is disturbance in the harmony
of some few Lodges over in Jersey City,
in consequence of the Grand Master OF
New Jersey deciding to recognize coIored
Masons when properly made beneath his
jurisdiction. For years past there have
been Lodges of colorcd Masons both in
Jersey City and in the metropolis but
Notwithstanding the fact that they work
by virtue of the same authority which
introduced Masonry into America, they
have always been regarded as clandes-
tine or spurious Masons. The Grand
Orient of France and the Grand Lodge
of Germany are both in full commnnion
with the Grand National Union Lodge,
the colored executive body, and this is
one of the reasons inducing the grand
Lodge of This State 70 sever relations with
those foreign bodies. In fact, according
to Masonic history aud custom, the COL
ored Lodges can claim prestige from an
antiquity superior to white brethren, I'm
asmuch at the charter of Prince Hall
Lodge, granted to the colored free men of
New England, dating years before the
American Revolution, has never been
surrendered, while all white Lodges,
after that struggle, gave up their patents,
to be superseded by others emanating
from he Grand bodies in the respective
independent States.

Says the New York Tribune Tam
many must show to the country, from her
government of New York, an example
which will be good for the government
of the United States, or she must prepare
to keep in the background in the Demo
cratic National Convention. Otherwise,
in contrast with the lavish imperial ex-
pcnditurcs of Tammany, the retrench-
ments of General Grant will stand out
in luminous and glorious relief before the
American people.

SURPRISING CONGREGATIONAL
Captain Blank of Stonington, relates the
following remarkable incident that oc.-
Cured while on the passage from New
York, some years ago. He observed one
summer afternoon, heavy cloud arise
from the land and to his great surprise,
approach the vessel. Suddenly it broke
near him and millions of mosquitoes
covered the deck to the depth of several
inches, while part of che flock went
through the mainsail, leaving nothing
but the bolt ropes hanging idly to the
spars. Corroborative evidence to this
surprising tale was found in the person
Of down east tskipper who heard the
story, and who, on comparing dates with
the narrator, declared that two days after
ward his ship was boarded by part of the
same flock, and that they all wore eunrass

CoLoRING BUTTER AND CHEESE
Annette as coloripg matter for cheese
seems to be coming into disrepute at the
large factories. The demand for white
and uncolored cheese seems to be steadily
increasing. Some of the Herkimer
fancy factories" have been making this
kind all the season, and the sales have
been at the highest rates. If it were not
for the requirements of certain English
merchants, there would be no difficulty
in banishing all colored materials from
the cheese vats. Especially would this
be the case if it were generally understood
that the annette used for coloring is pois-
onously adulterated.
