Two Centuries Hence.

The following fancy picture of what
may be familiar enough two hundred
years hence is no more improbable on
the face of it than our railways, electric
telegraphs, and the like would have
seemed century ago:
Scene-Library in the house of an
elderly gent, somewhere in Australia.
Old gent telegraphs to the kitchen,
and waiter ascends in balloon.
Old Gent" John, fly over to Cal
cutta, and tell Mr.. Johnson that shall
be happy to have him sup with me.
Never mind your coat now, but 60"
John leaves and at the end of five
minutes returns.
john" Mr.. Johnson says he will
come he has got to go to st. Petersburg
for few minutes and then he will be
here"
Old Gent" Very well, John. Now
start the machine for setting the table.
and telegraph to my wife's room, and
tell her Mr.. johnson is coming then
brush up my balloon, for 1 have an en-
gagement in London at twelve o'clock. >"
John flies, and the old gentleman
runs over to the West Indies to buy
fresh orange.

The Dream.

was once myself in agonies of grief
that are unutterable, and in so great a
distraction of mind that thought my
self even out of the possibility of re-
ceiving comfort. The occasion was as
follows: When / was a youth in part
of the army which was then quartered
at Dover, L fell in love with an agreea-
BILE young woman, of good family in
those parts, and had the satisfac-
ton of seeing my addresses kindly re-
ceived, which occasioned the perplexity
1 am going to relate. We were in a
calm evening diverting ourselves upon
the top of the cliff with the prospect of
the sea, and trifing away the time in
such little fondnesses as are most rldlc-
ulous to people in business, and most
agreeable to those in love. In the
midst of these, our innocent endear-
ments, she snatched paper of verses
out of my hand and ran away with them.
1 was following her, when on a sudden
the ground, though at a considerable
distance from the verge OF the preci-
pice, sunk under her, and threw her
down from so prodigious height upon
such range of rocks as would have
dashed her into ten thousand pieces had
her body been made of adamant. 1t is
much easier for my reader to imagine
my state of mind upon such an occasion
than for me to express it. L said to
myself, at is not in the power of
heaven to relieve me I" when L
awaked, equally transported and aston
ished to see myself drawn out of an af-
flictio.. which the very moment before
appeared to me altogether inextricable.

Best Organs on Most Favorable Terms.

Cabinet or Parlor Organs are capital
things for peddlers to work with, be-
cause very poor ones can be made at
half the cost OF good ones, and few peo-
pie are competent to tell the difference
from a first examination. Manufac-
turers print in their catalogues prices
which are three or four times as high
as the value of such cheap work. Then
the peddler starts out and puts them on
the people in various ways. He sells
at an enormous discount, if he can get
cash takes part trade, if necessary, or
leaves the organ awhile on trial, and
sells it on long time at manufacturer s
price," exhibiting the catalogue to
show that it is such, or even at dis
count from this, which he can well af-
ford.
The Mason 81 Hamlin Organ Co.
have recently announced a plan which
is likely to interfere with this business.
This company, as is well known, makes
only the best work, which, by its uni
form excellence, has obtained the high
est reputation for their organs. They
proved the best, and obtained the high
est awards, at the recent Vienna and
Paris Worlds Expositions, as they have
uniformly done in American Industrial
competitions. The fact that these
organs are the best in the world is in
deed too we'll established to need fur
ther Endorsement.
The company have now added a large
new factory to their former extensive
works, and design to greatly increase
their business. This they propose to
do by offering organs for time pay
ments, or for rent with privilege of pur-
chase, at barely sufficient advance on
the cash prices to afford a reasonable
interest for the time. An organ may
be hired by the quarter with privilege
of purchase at any time in one year or
longer. If purchased within the year,
the whole cost, including rent paid, is
only five to ten per cent. more than if
the cash had been paid down at the be-
ginning.
Persons having any idea of purchas-
ing, will be wise to send a note to the
Mason g. Hamlin Co., at either Boston,
New York or Chicago, and obtain their
new circulars, before purchasing.

The Battle of New 0rleans-IS74.
From the New Orleans Republican,

A few minutes before o'clock Gen.
Badger issued an order for his COM
mand to march They started up near
the levee and met no opposition until
near the head of Canal street. Arrived
on the levee, the artillery-three brass
pieces and two Gatling guns-were de-
ployed, and the infantry properly de-
tailed to support them. No organized
enemy appeared to oppose them. They
were on open grounds, near the iron
building, but almost instantly drop
ping fire from behind hay and cotton
bales commenced on them. Loose and
lively-moving crowds of citizens were
on Canal, Common, Gravier, and the
cross streets, and on hearing each shot
they rushed one way or the other.
The police took their exposed posi-
ton surrounded by apparently 600 men
behind the bales of cotton and hay.
Their attention was directed somewhat
up the levee, where the greater strength
of the enemy seemed to be, and, sitting
on his horse, Gen. Badger raised his
hat and gave the order to fire. At the
first discharge every loose citizen
sought cover, and there was ire
mendous stampede for the side
streets. The excitement spread to
Camp street, and men knew not which
way to turn. Many called, cts false
alarm it is only done to keep carriages
and cars away, but the fight of the day
was going on with unparalleled vim
dictiveness. At the first discharge of
the cannon every hay and cotton
bale seemed to blaze with fire. Only
heads and arms were presented as tar
gets for the Winchesters of the police.
Badger sat on his horse, encouraging his
men, and seemed to have a charmed
life, for several men dropped every sec
ond. Not man tiinched while he had
support, but the fire of their almost un-
seen enemy swept them away like wheat
before the reaper.
A fifth of the force lay on the levee
dead or so wounded as to be unable to
move. Not enough men were left un-
hurt to support the artillery, and stand
ing at the guns were not one-half
enough to work them. Unable to see
hardly foe fall, but the crack and
blaze coming increasingly from the bull
warks before them, fire from roofs
and windows behind and above them
commencing, and q man falling at each
report, the majority who could walk
sought the iron building, carrying their
wounded. All but the commands of
Rey and Joseph, which were somewhat
out of the line of the main fight, were
demoralized. Every man in sight was
blackened with powder and stained with
his own blood. Sergt. John McCann,
a most conspicuous target, stood dis
charging his Winchester till the last
shot was gone, and then, unarmed, re-
ceived disabling wound in the leg
Badger still sat his horse, cheering his
men, and Capt. Gray, with every man
of the artillery killed or wounded, was
loading a piece without assistance as
coolly as he would have inspected it in
the armory.
The contest lasted not more than ten
minutes, and then the police were driven
back from their charge. The fire from
roofs and windows and vantage places
redoubled, and of those who reached
the Custom House only two were with
out a mark.

Remarkable Invention of a Philadel.
phia Musician.

The idea has long been entertained
by scientists that there might probably
also be some natural agent adapted TO
tighten the labors of the musician, and
perform for him the more irksome part
of his profession, the manual execution,
as distinguished from the composing
and arranging of musical compositions.
Your correspondent has just had the
pleasure of witnessing the successful
application of electricity to this pur-
pose. The idea of the inventors, Messrs.
Schmoele, of Philadelphia, is not
only to play by electricity, but also to
employ this agent to read the very
notes from the printed sheet ; and this
they have not only succeeded in accom-
plishing, but have demonstrated its en-
tire feasibility and practical working in
the pioneer instrument, which 1 have
inspected and to whose performance l
have listened.
The music is printed ON sheets or
rolls of paper by the process which
printers use for Illuminated work, the
notes, instead of being in ink, appear
ing in gilt marks, such as are frequent
ly seen in fancy cards, circulars, etc.
Being metal, these notes are conduct
ors, and are distinguished by the cleo
trio current from the paper, which is a
non-conductor, and are thus read off
with the certainty and rapidity which
characterize the movements of this most
subtle and dexterons force.
The reading apparatus consists Of
diminutiye metallic fingers, set closely
together, so as to occupy little space.
The music sheet moves gently under
these fingers, electric connection being
made as the gilt notes pass them.
A series of wires connect the reading
apparatus with the performing parts,
and thus the different notes on the
music sheet are telegraphed to the diff
ferent parts of the instrument.
A most surprising part of the inven-
ton is that a small battery, of the size
of single half-pint table glass, is suf-
ficient to operate the whole instrument.

HARRY WARNINGS FORTUNE.

Ct advise you to think less about
your ancestors. and more about poster
ity," said old Lady Waring to her son
Harry one bright June morning.
At the moment she uttered this cpl
gram her son was busy with some an
cient records which he had recently I'M
earthed in the library of the British
Museum, and which he had caused TO
be copied for study at his home in the
country. Harry was a bachelor, his
family was not of the richest, though
there was no more honorable or ancient
name in the county But he was
younger son, and studiously inclined,
and there seemed little prospect of his
marrying.
Lady Waring had often recommended
him to make his addresses to some of
the heiresses of the county. There was
Georgiana Belassys, the sweetest girl !;
and / am sure, my son, she would
rather take you poor than the richest
sutton she has" In short, Lady War
ing was set on q match; but her son
shook his head, and said, CT am too
proud TO court an heiress, and too poor
to marry pauper; and there the ar
gument would stop, for Lady Waring
well knew the somewhat perverse dis
position of her younger son, and avoid
ed urging the subject of marriage.
Harry Warning had reached his thirtieth
year, and seemed further than ever
from marriage, 81 am married to my
books" he would sometimes say. In
deed, TO see him surrounded by his an
tique tones you would have thought
him welded to morocco and parchment,
a true predestinate bookworm.
He had hobbies in study, each one
lasting several months or a year at
time, aud engrossing him completely
while it lasted. Then he would take the
fancy TO travel; he would leave home
almost without saying good-by, and no
word would como from him for weeks !;
then Lady Waring would receive some
such message as this from her truant

So, between his books and his travels
this whimsical younger son of Lady

while his elder brother, Arthur, had

childless and the circumstance made
old Lady Waring the more anxious that
Harry, her only other child, should sur
round himself with family of his own.
