The Able List, acknowledged by the lead
ing musicians of the world as the Grand Mas
ter of Instrumentation on the Piano Forte
has been SO chary of his commentator of pi
amos of any particular make, that the follow.
ing testimonial written by him bears addition,
al weight, aside from the high source from
which it emanates. This voluntary testimony
from the distinguished Maestro, is a triumph
for America, a triumph for Boston, and an
enduring triumph for Messrs. Hallet, Davis
& Co., whose patent orchestral grand and
square pianos are all made with the same
fidelity as to recent improvements, purity Of
tone, and superiority of workmanship.
WIENER, May, 1871.
Translation.
Mr.. Florence Ziegfeld, Director of the Chi.
cago Academy of Music:
My Dear Director: The reputation of the
American pianos was established everywhere
by the extraordinary sensation they created at
the Paris Exhibition of 1867. Since that time
several of the leading piano manufacturers in
Europe have found it expedient to construct pi-
amos of the American kind. The distinguished
advantages of the latter-pecular richness of
tone, and extreme solidity Of construction
were evident to eye and ear in the most ad-
mirable instrument manufactured by Hallet
Davis Co., of Boston, which was tested here
yesterday.
1t is highly desirable that the use and en-
joyment of these instruments should be attain
able for European pianists.
With distinguished regards,
am, yours truly,
+. List.

EXPLANATION NEEDED.

| In an article in the Maine Standard laud
ing the republican Senators at Washington
for their attacks upon the administration
and attempts to divide the republican par
ty. the following are the closing words;
aft there we're no men possessed Of suffi.
cient independence and manhood to sever
their connection with party and oppose it
whenever it becomes corrupt and wrong in its
action, there would be no such thing as saw
ing republican principles and institutions
whenever an administration determines upon
their overthrow"
A few years ago the government Of this
country was assailed by rebels in arms,
bent upon destroying it. Then, if ever.
was time when men were called upon to
forsake party and support the government.
Many democrats did SO, joining the re-
publicans to carry and sustain such meas
ures as were necessary to suppress the re-
bellion, and marching side by side with
them on the battlefield. We have never
known that those men received any COM
mendation or credit from the Standard or
anybody connected with it for their in
dependent and patriotic course in leaving
the democratic party, although according
to its words above no men could be more
deserving. There is no question now that
their force added to the republicans saved
the government. How comes it then that
the Standard has such gushing admiration
for the independence of two Or three disaf-
fected republican Senators, and not a word
Of praise-nothing but reproach-for the
thousands of democrats who acted the in
dependent and manly part in the war. by
turning their back on the party which was
in alliance with the rebellion We pause
for reply.

HOLDING THE MIRROR UP.

The Springfield Republican is one of
the few papers that oppose Gen. Grant.
That there is nothing new, exceptional or
surprising in its present disagreement
with the patriotic sentiment of the coun-
try is shown by the following pungent
extract from the New York Tribune OIL
August 25th, 1666--a time when the per.
fidy of Andrew johnson was calculated
to throw the Government into the hands
of Democratic rebels, as the perfidy Of
other Republicans is now, and when the
Springfield paper sustained him. The
Tribune said
1.-THE Springfield Republican has for some
time made itself a convenience of the pro-
Rebel party. Its "beings end and aim, -
would seem to be to furnish apt and telling
quotations for the Copperhead journals, and
they almost live on it. tits not a Copper.
head sheet; but it serves the Copperheads
more efiectually than if it were. We wish it
would either go over to them or cease to
serve them"
A righteous and scorching rebuke, and
just as true as deserved, every line of it,
in 1872 as in 1866. The Tribune spoke
manfuliy and we'll. 1t knew what it was
to serve the devil in the livery of Heaven,
and it denounced such treachery and
double-dealing in singing words. And
now substitute New York Tribune" for
Springfield Republican" in the above
paragraph, and we have a literal descrip.
ton from the Tribune's own mouth Of
what the Tribune itself is doing at the
present time. The Republican has not
changed. and the Tribune is now yoked

HAsTY CONSUMPTION CURED BY FELLOWS

HYPoPHosPHITEs.
CARBoNEAR, NEWFOUNDLAND Jan. 3, 1871.
Mr. JAMES l. FELLows.-Sir: l came to
this country ia May, 1869. l found coun-
tryman OF mine laboring under some affection
OF the lungs. l recommended your Syrup,
tried at the Druggists in Harbor Grace, but
they thought was inventing the name at their
expense. However in April, 1870, Mr.. Edgar
Joyce rapidly wasted away with every symp-
tom of quick consumption, SO that he was
unable to walk across the room, having no
appetite, pains in the left side, nervous sys-
tenn unstrung, dry hacking cough, sc. For
tunately / learned that your Syrup could be
obtaiAed at Mr.. Dearin's, in St. Johns, and
Immediately procured some Showed one to
w. II. Thompson, who ordered supply from
you at once.) This was Tuesday afternoon;
at night he took the prescribed dose, and In
the morning he described the very results
notified on the wrapper. His appetite soon
began to return, and a voracious one it was,
too the dry, hacking cough changed into
loose but violent attacks, finally disappearing
altogether; pains left his side. his hand as
sumed its usual steadiness, and before he in
ished ten bottles his health was quite restored
and to-day not more healthy person is to be
found on our streets; and it is the opinion of
all, had he not been fortunate in getting your
valuable Syrup of Hypophosphites, he would
now be in his grave.
He happened to be in w. II. Thompson's
the day your first shipment arrived, and took
at once four bottles to the Labrador, which
he was very anxious to do, but had not occa-
sion to use them himself. No other medicine
will he ever prescribe, recommend or give,
but yours.
also recommended it to another consump-
tive, but have not heard from him since, as
he lives in distant part of the Island. Hoping
this will give you some encouragement,
remain, yours, &c

BRONCHITIS.

This is an irritation or Inflammation of the
bronchial tubes which carry the air we breath
into the lungs. 1t arises from cold settled
in the throat, from Catarrh extending to these
parts, from scrofulous affections, and from
severe use of the voice. The irritation from
this latter cause commences in the larynx and
glotis, which are the organs Of the voice, and
extending downwards, produces hoarseness,
coughing and splitting mucous matter, some
times mixed with blood. tits chiefly danger
Gus from its tendency to spread into the lungs
and terminate in consumption. 1t is in the
cure of severe and obstinate cases of this dis
ease that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery has achieved unparalleled success,
and won the loudest praise from all who have
used it. 1t lie sold by all respectable Drug

nails at the front of shop, (the copper coin
has hole in the center,) l inquired what

there by the shopkeeper to save time and

by the counsel for the prisoner. 1t may be
safely said that disposal of them will take

object is postponement of the trial of the

there is that the victory he achieved over the

Cincinnati Commercial, however, does not
favor Governor Browns nomination.

Hon. A. j. Ransier, the colored Lieut.
Governor of South Carolina, has written
letter to Lieut.. Governor Pinchbeck of
Louisiana. in which he condemns the Gin
cinnati movement, and says that the Phil
adelphia convention is the place where
the nomination of President Grant should
be opposed, if anywhere. He adds that
while the colored population almost idol
ize Charles Sumner, he is confident they
will support, en- masse, the nominees of
the Philadelphia convention, whoever
they may be.
Election takes place in Connecticut to-
day. The anti-Grant republicans, allow
ing there are any in the State. have been
instructed by the tribune that there is
not much difference between the demo
cratic and republican candidates for Gov
ernor, and the World has informed then
that. if they do not make a demonstration
against Grant, they are cowardly and tn
democrats will form no alliance with then
in the Presidential campaign. There
meaning enough IN all this. 1t remain
to be seen whether hints to be treacherou
or threats for the same purpose will hay
any weight in the vote.

article upon party politics has the follow
ing rather discouraging remarks for tn
democrats and sehismatic republicans
The democratic party is out, and will b.
out for a long time to come. Their I'm
fortunate cousinship to the southern re
bellion threw them out of popular conf
dence, and only by slow and patient ser
vice will that confidence be regained
There are as good men among them as
there is in the other party. and they adj
vocate some good things. But even the
patriarch of old had to serve seven years
in tending Laban's sheep before he could
aspire TO the honor of his daughters hand,
and it will be at least as long before the
people will consent to restore the demo-
Gratis to power. They are invaluable to
keep the other party straight, for the best
of public servants will bear watching !;
but the people are hardly ready yet to let
them run the machine. The question
seems likely then, to reduce itself into
this: Shall the republican party rule, or
shall the schismatics, who set up their
shrine at Cincinnati? The conclusive an
swer to this question will hardly have to
await the counting of the Electoral vote
by Congress-
