MUSICAL INsTRUMRSrs.-That "the
best is always the cheapest is oftener
true in respect to Pianos and Organs
than in regard to most articles. This
is because the machinery is SO delicate
and Intricate that unless made in the
most thorough manner. OF choicest ma
tsrial, they will get out OF order. If they
get only slightly out Of order it is the
occasion Of very much trouble and in
convenience, at least, ifnot serious loss
1t Piano and Organ purchasers would
bear this fact in mind and
make their selections from such
instruments as Steinway, Chickering,
Kuabe and Emerson Pianos and Ma
sop and Hamlin, Smiths American,
.Estsy and Wood Organs, they would
end it greatly to their advantage. The
above Pianos and Organs can only be
found at Messrs. Adams Il Lucas's, No
1927 Market street, the sole agents for
them, and at such prices and terms as
will suit all.

Hon. Horace MAYNARD.

A gentleman Of Knoxville SAYS the
feeling between Col. Thornbugh and
Judge Honk is rapidly approximating
red heat. Meantime, Mr. Maynard is
reticent as the grave in respect TO his
future intentions, though the belief is
pretty general that he viii in due sea-
son announce himself for Congress. He
is now in the full prime and vigor of
life, with reputation that is national,
aud has no idea of being shelvcd and
filed away like an obsolete volume, to
rust out the balance Of his days in idle
ness and inglorious case. There are
prominent aspirants in the Republican
organization whose chances for the Vice
Presidential nomination in 1876 are not
half as good as Mr.. Maynard's, pro"id-
cd he keeps well TO the front during
the interval and maintains his present
prestige.

From the Union and American.
IN discussing State finances, and the
possibility of tightening our burdens
without resort to dubious devices, it
should be remembered that the term
for which various railroads have been
exempted from taxation is expiring
On some it has already expired, on
others it ceases this year, Nearly every
railroad in ,hc State becomes liable to
taxation next year. In the advance
sheets, already published, from the
forthcoming Report Of the Bureau Of
Agriculture sc notice an estimate that
the addition TO our taxable proper
ty from this source alone will be seven.
Nv millions o. dollars We have heard il
estimated at eighty millions, aud some
go SO far as TO expect one hundred
millions. We prefer to take the official
estimate of the Agricultural Bureau,
which cites this among the resources OF
the State in the chapter entitled "a
Word TO Immigrants" Our home peo-
pie are perhaps just trille more inter-
ested in it than immigrants, The rail.
roads have contributed much toward
developing the State and enhancing the
value of real estate. Hitherto State
legislation has been very favorable TO
