IT Is OFTEN the case that an indi-
vidual working faithfully in his profess
sion, gives character and celebrity TO
productions, which, by reason of his
mOdesty and unObtrusiveness, some
other person acquires the entire benefit
and profit Of. Two pianos, having a
wide celebrity in the United States, owe
in a great degree their prominence to
the genius of Mathushek, who was en-
ployed at different times in each Of the
factories of said pianos. This German
artist devoted his whole soul to the idea
of making a piano perfect in all its
parts, and while at his daily employ
ment, he revolved continually in his
own mind, certain improvements which
he saw were needed in order to make
this instrument all that any one could
desire; so, from day to-day, as he la
bored, giving his services faithfully to
his employers, who We're shrewd enough
to take advantage of his skill, he gave
his nights to the perfecting of his ideas,
and being fortunate enough to secure
protection by the patent laws for his val
liable invention, he now quietly waits
theaward which an ~appreciative musical
public is sure to bestOw. The chief salts
faction, however, which he enjoys, is in
the thought that although he has as
sisted SO largely in establishing the rep
utation of pianos bearing prominent
names, he has been able to work out for
his own a decided superiority, and con-
tent in his own faith concerning said SUI
periority, he has avoided all ~eXtraOrdi-
nary efforts to give his skill nOtOriety,
patiently waiting for his invention to
assert its own merits. Opposition is ex-
pected and detraction and ridicule, but
the Mathushek, tells its own story and
quietly waits a universal acceptance by
all lovers of sweet sounds.

THE CHAMPION STOVE.

This justly celebrated culinary utensil
is for sale at Wetter's, on Monroe street,
opposite the Peabody Hotel. Being the
most superior article of the sort on the
market, it is as well adapted to summer
as to winter use. The best economizer
of fuel, the quickest generator of heat,
the most satisfactory baker and rooster.
No n who has a Champion can find
the first fault with it. Being one Of the
few household blessings that can be
purchased with money, there is a great
demand upon Wetter for it. No young
housekeeper ought to consider herself
all right without a Champion stove.

LEGAL DECISION.
Supreme Court nj jackson, May 25,
Is72-Merehnnfs' National Bank
". German National Rank
and Commercial Bank.

In 1867 the plaintiff in this case pnr-
chased Of n McCargar certain thirty
day bills, drawn by him against ship
ments of cotton consigned to a commits
sion house in Philadelphia. The firm
in Philadelphia, declaring to accept the
drafts, the Merchants National Bank
took possession Of the cotton for the
purpose Of securing itself in the trans
action, Subsequently the German
National and Commercial Banks levied
attachments upon the same cotton with
the view Of subiecting it to the payment
of certain claims held by said banks
against said McCargar, amounting in
the aggregate to some fifty thousand
dollars, which debt had been created
previous to that Of the Merchants
National Bank. The object Of these
suits was to determine whether the
Merchants National Bank was entitled
to the proceeds of the cotton, which
had in the meantime been sold by the
Clerk and Master of the Chancery
Court, or should be held subject TO the
attachment of the other banks. After
passing through all the courts the case
came up for trial few days since, and a
final decision was rendered this
morning, affirming the judgment pre-
viOusly deereed in favor of the Mer-
chants National Bank. We understand
the arguments in the case We're very
exhaustive and were listened to with
marked interest while in progress.

HEBREW ORPHAN ASYLUM PICNIC.

This picnic, to take place at James's
Park on the third proXimo, will excel
all others, as in years past, for the
extraordinary attractions offered. Be
sides the many amusements and plea
sures in store for those attending, the
managers, with their accustomed energy
and perseverance, have bought one of
Joseph Seligman's finest horses and
Bruce's best buggy, harness and whip,
at an outlay of over one thousand dol
lars, all of which will be drawn as one
prize, the drawing to take place OF the
grounds at 9 pm. Those of u readers
who have witnessed this fine turnout on
the streets yesterday have convinced
themselves Of the value of this magnifi-
cent enterprise. The tickets for the
drawing are placed at the low figure of
one dollar, thus enabling everybody to
have a chance TO win. The drawing
will positively take place on the even
ing of the picnic, and will be superin-
tended by disinterested parties, selected
from the visitors on the ground. Tickets
for sale at all the principal jewelry and
cigar stores in the city.

How It Completes its Friurnphs.

1t is a marvellous story, and not more
so than credible among those who know
anything of the relative value of pianos
that at the recent fair at Houston, Texas,
at which nine pianos competed for the
prize, it was awarded unanimously, by q
committee of musicians selected by the
several piano-makers, to the st. Louis
instrument. 1t must be remembered
that Texas is prominently German
and pre-eminently musical. People say
that there is music, wild, weird, en-
trancing music, in the very winds that
dance so softly and merrily over the
flower crowned prairies of Texas.
The most tasteful musicians of the
continent have their homes in
Texas, and in every farmers house
the piano is as indispensable as
the cooking-stove. When it is known,
therefore, that Texas pronounces the St.
Louis instrument unsurpassed, the de
cree will be deemed final by very many
people cognizant of the habits, acquire
ments and cultured tastes of Texans. If
there be those who would know more of
the st. Louis Manufacturing Company's
Bell-treble piano, they may call on Sey-
fert & Whitman, Second near Adams
street. There are square pianos and
grand square, on four legs, and grand
pianos on three legs. The grandest of
all plays fantastic melodies on only two
the great grand square Koniuzeski.

Words Of S0berness and Truth for those
who would be Wen Dressed.

Among the best reformers that we
know of in this city at present, Wagge-
ner ranks first. The good he does is an
unmixed blessing to the community.
In the way of creating and making per-
manent a correct taste in dress among
the gentlemen of the city, Waggener
has worked wonders. He does this, too,
almest ffee, for he makes no higher
charges than ordinary t%ailors, while he
turns out suits that would reflect honor
on the Boulevard Hdlien. Waggener
has this spring imported largely of the
finest goods of all patterns, principally
delicate and tasteful in combination of
color, but always of the finest texture.
He has supplied a large number of suits
of this new importation to his customers
but has still sufficient left to make a
good show for the summer demand. 1t
was very truly written, by Lord Rames,
early in the spring, in a letter to Wag-
gener: "Any rude person who knows
how stitch will make a pair of pants,
but it takes an artist to say what sort of
PANTS are best suited to aman-whether
tight in the legs or loose, what color
suits his complexion, and all the little et
ceterds of a g~entleman's makeup"
This Waggener does for his patrons, and
hence his popularity. Another gentle
man of fortune wrote him: 81 had spent
ten years out West previous to my pas
sage through your city for the East. /
was in doubt when ordering the half
dozen different suits from you, whether
they would be up to the requirements of
fashionable life in New York. 1 was
much pleased to find them fully equal
tho kaef uaC in a tailOris on PrOad-
way yesterday getting some %trifies, and
he asked me if l had that suit made in
Paris. The cloth and the makeup, he
said, was entirely Partisan" 1t will be
seen that Waggener, 3l74 Main street,
is a great artist.

and we are assured by the management
that a number of new features will be
introduced sufficient to lend new inter-
est to a piece that has proven the greatest
attraction of the season. Among the
scenes to be introduced is one represent
ing the great ~peace-jubilee to be givenat
Boston next month. This will necessi-
tate the employment of a brass band
and a large addition to the company.
Another prominent feature connected
with the continuation ofthe Crook during
the coming week will be the reduction
Fin price for reserved seats to II dollar.
We think from this thatcrowded houses

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
Arrangements for Holding Primaries
The Delegates to the Convention
to be Elected.

The County Democratic Executive
Committee held a meeting for business
in the Second Chancery courtroom yes
terday evening, at which there was a
good attendance. Mr.. w. w. Mellow
ell in the chair. The only business Of
importance done was the arrangements
made for holding elections for delegates
to attend the County Convention. The
chairman was empowered to appoint q
committee of five, whose duty 1t shall
be to select judges and clerks to conduct
an election on the fifteenth of June for
the election Of delegates to the County
Convention, which will be subse-
quently held-the committee to be
appointed by the chair. A resolution
was also adopted instructing the
committee, whoever they may be, to Sc
lect the best citizens for that duty. By
this arrangement the old mass prima-
ries are done away with, and it will be
left entirely in the hands of the people
to select their own delegates-each citi-
zen being allowed to vote for as many
delegates rs his ward or district is enti-
tied to, or to vote as many times for one
man as he has votes for all. This ar
rangement will afford minorities in
wards to get a minority representation.
The country districts were also instruct
ed to meet ON the same day, between
the hours Of three and five o'clock, at
the voting places of their several dis
tricts, and there and then select the del
egates they wish to represent them in
the County Convention.
Several members of the County Com
mittee resigned, and the meeting adj
journed.
