Last Wednesday Judge = was
passing down Spring street on the Jail
side. He halted suddenly: his atten-
tion seemed to be fully riveted on
something on the opposite side of the
street. 1t was to him as music from
the spheres; but those sweet sounds
proceeded from a Decker piano, touch
ed by skillful hands. Now that same
Judge is accustomed to hearing by his
own fireside a first-class piano and
none of the many scrub pianos which
are flooding the California market
would have arrested his attention.
