AT no period in the history Of our

AT no period in the history of our
country, ifindeed, in the history of
the world, has music been more
critically studied, and more %univers-
ally appreciated than at the present
time. Almost every cultivated
household has its musical instru-
ment Of some kind. The size and
expense Of the Organ has always
been II bar to its becoming Il popu-
lnr instrument for general uses, but
the progressive improvements in
Cottage Organs within the last
twenty-five years, have followed one
another 50 fast that now, these val.
liable instruments combine all the
essential elements Of the organ with
a portable size.
AS to quality among the various
Cottage Organs now manufactured.
if comparison is n test Of merit, the
Estey must stand without n rival,
not only in beauty Of finish, but
also in quality of the workmanship
in whatever goes'to make the "bcst
organ This is secured by the
great care which is taken in OBJ
tanning only the VERY BEST WORK
MEN, that can be had--men who
have spent their lives in manufac-
ture of these instruments. The
motto of the Esteys, when employ
ing workmen, has always been
"every man an artist in his partic-
ular department" This motto
which has been faithfully followed
out, has resulted in the production
of their present superb instru-
mcnts.
, The tone and touch are unap-
preached by any other instrument
in existence, while it's whole super
iority, with its peculiar improve
ments cannot be described, but
must be heard and seen to be prop
erly appreciated. w&e1t.

A Japanese Encounters a Skunk.

The interview of Prof. Butler
with the japanese Ambassadors,
as they travelled over the Bur.
lington route, fills a column in the
Chicago Post. Blu | find nothing
there so amusing as an incident I
have heard the Professor relate,
but which he omitted in his Chicago
report probably thinking it beneath
the dignity of Chicago paper es-
pecially as the name, Chicago,
means ShWnb.
AS the train was steaming along
near midnight, it Glanced to disturb
and perhaps destroy, one or more
p~olccats. The Professor at once
inquired of Asahi, one ofthe young
Princes he was conducting to sur
prise their father, whether he smell
cd anything? 1t need hardly be
said that Asahi's answer was
affirmative. The next question of
the Prof. was, "Did you ever smell
anything like it in JapanY' The an
swer was "No, neverr' "But what
in the world" asked the young
Prince, "what is it?" "a skunk" re-
piled the Prof, "a skunk" said
Asahi, sis that animal the buffalo,
or like the buffaloY
This question was more natural
Than we think at first. Why should
not a big smell betoken y big beast?
So the lion reasoned according to
Ksop, when hearing q cock crow in
the dark, he trembled, believing he
was about to encounter an antago-
mist more than commensurate with
himself.
But in spite of skunds Asahi and
all his compatriots declared they
should ever hold the Burlington
Route among their dowery and fra
grant memories.
The old maxim was, "Follow pra-
RE dogs and Quakers if you want
good land" but people now follow
skunks--for within the last three
years about 5000 land-hunters
have bought railroad land along
the Burlington Route, and mainly
in Nebraska. But they have al
wrys got it on ten years credit
buyers since 1872 have nothing to
pay on the principal till the end of
four years, and by prompt improve
ment, may get twenty per cent
thrown off from the price.
