Best Organs on Most Favorable Terms.

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 the 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 OH
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 iton long time at manufacturers S
price, exhibiting the catalogue to
show that it is such, or even at a dis
count from this, which he can we'll af-
ford.
The Mason & Hamlin Organ Go. have
recently announced a plan which is like
~ to interfere with this business. This
Company, as is we'll know, makes only
the best work, which, by it's uniform
excellence, has obtained the highest
reputation for their organs. They
proved the best, and obtained the high
CSu a I1lStc tIIC 1CCOliU f1CilIlCl Sl1Ilt
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 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. II 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, viii be wise to send note to the
Mason & Hamlin Co., at either Boston,
New York or Chicago, and obtain their
new circulars, before purchasing.

GYPSY DIVORCES.
g Rlood Has to be Shed - "A Singular


- pIocd Has to be Shed - - A singular
Ceremony.
A camp of gipsies is near Washing
ton. and Republican reporter has
visited it and talked with Gitana, a
gipsy maiden. We quote:
. We suppose you are human beings,
and have to get divorced ?"
Sometimes; but it's a dreadful
thing with us to get divorced It causes
grief and mourning, and blood has to
be she'd"
"Well, pray tell us how you get di-
vorced ?"
"I know [ am talking too much, >"
and the Gitana trembled as she spoke,
but half dozen bright silver quarters
thrown into her lap seemed to give her
assurance: CT know [ am talking too
much, but I'll tell you. 1t is this way.
When a man and his wife are to be
separated it is done by the sacrifice of
horse.
One is picked out which is entirely
sound and free from bruise or even
scratch, and he is led out to the spot
where the divorce is to take place, and
exactly at twelve o'clock. The men cast
lots for the one who shall kill the horse
and for this occasion he is the priest.
The priest takes long pole in his
hand and walks around the horse seve-
raj times, and in loud voice praises
his good qualities and names all the
persons who have owned it.
The horse is then led into the tent
Of the woman who is to be divorced. If
he kicks around and jumps about the
woman has been very bad; if he keeps
quiet, she has not been SO bad. The
priest then takes large knife and stabs
the horse to the heart, and when it is
stretched out on the ground the hus-
band takes his place on one side of it
and the wife on the other. They join
hands across the horse and repeat some
sentences in the gypsy language. They
then walk three times around the horse
IN opposite directions.
The last time. when at the head of
the horse, they face each other and
speak, and do the same thing at the
tail. They again shake hands and sepa-
rate, one gong north and the other
south. She never nlarries again, and
has to wear the mourning veil, and big
shoes on her feet. The heart of the
horse is then taken out, roasted,
sprinkled with brandy and eaten by the
husband and his friends. The horse is
then buried on the spot. The husband

No MORE HEROES. The deadly vege-
table alkaloids such as Mercury,
Strychnine, and Prussic Acid cannot
cure disease OF produce any but the
most disastrous results. Perhaps no
event has occurred of late years which
is so we'll calculated to disabuse the
public mind of belief in the efficacy
of mineral poisons and bleeding as the
discovery of DR.. Walker, of California,
of certain medicinal herbs, whose heal
ing principles he has extracted and COM
bined in the form of VINEGAR BIrTERs.
The cures wrought by it seem marvel
Gus. It's action is mild and agreeable,
but at the same time rapid and efectu-
al, and being unimpeded by the pres
ence OF alcohol or fermented liquor of
any description, is attended with results
hitherto unachieved by any remedial
agent. The cures of Bilious Com
plants, Malarious Fever, Dyspepsia,
rheumatism, Scrofula, and all diseases
arising from impurities of the blood, at
test the paramount excellence Of this
medicine, and justify us in recommend
