The HENRY F. MILLER PIANO-FORrEs.-
The instruments from this establishment
are rapidly comm & into public notice
and favor. and already occupy foremost
position among irst.class pianos.
Mr.. Miller Is himself practical mechan-
ic, and thorough musician, and the SUI
peTiorify which these pianos have over 9TH
ers, is owing in large measure to the
careful supervision which each instru-
ment receives from the manufacturer be-
fore It is allowed to leave his establish
ment. The award Of the contract to FUR
nish the public schools OF Boston with
pianos must be very gratifying 10 Mr..
Miller, and is = tesfimOsy Of the musical
public to the high position which these
Instruments occupy. The severe test that
they have received ct the New England
Conservatory Of Music. and at many 9TH
er public Institutions where they are in
daily use, u guarantee Of their
many excellent qualities, and especially of
'helr dsssbntsy. They are vsed and rec
,mmended By most Of the leading musi-
:ians Of Boston.

Boston people are very particular, and
among them are some excellent judges of
musical Instruments. Is 1t then remarka-
Bile that the school committee selected the
Miller piano for use in the public schools!
Boston is not alone in this. More than
fifty academies and schools in New Eng
land are doing the same thing. These
instruments are nrst-class in every re-
spect, and they are deservedly popular.

10 be more worthy of admiration and

and so is the APPEAL; but ours is the
sin and deviltry of Radicslism. He is
laboring to save the souls Of men, and
we to save the liberties of the people
and to exterminate the sin of Radical
ism, which is sending more men to per-

Brother johnson continue to publish

THEsoHOOL.rAx AND THE SCHOOLS

We published yesterday the result o.
an interview by an APPEAL reporter
with Mayor League, as to the school
tax and school affairs, that read very
favorably until the end was nearly
reached, when we find that like Other
things in this world, "there is sting in
the tsil' Of it. The mayor is in favol
OF the schools, but thinks there is toe
much money expended upon them, and
that the higher branches might be dis
pensed with as g measure Of economy.
The mayor IN this talks like one who
had bridged Eife and desired to cut down
the planks 10 prevent others following
after; or, perhaps more fairly put, like q
very economical, earnest tax-collecting
executive. We differ with him. We
have q notion that a boy never can
know too much, and that so long as he
is willing to lesrn he should be educated.
And what is more, we believe that for
the purpose Of breaking down all the
barriers 10 a good understanding be-
tween all classes Of our own people, edu-
cation should be through and by just
such public system as we now enjoy.
If boy can learn al that is now taught
in our public schools and graduates with
an inkling Of the ability necessary for
the faithful practice Of the highest Of
all callings-the teachers-we should
have State nMma school for him,

A RABBITS SCIENTIFIC EXPEDT.
TION.

A recent number Of the -Akh5as,
Journal de pAlgeTje, gives a very inter
esting account Of the scientific explOra-
lions of learned Jew of Morocco, the
Rabbi MardOchee, made under the pro-
lection Of the French government. Born
in Morocco, of 8 poor Jewish family, be
made il his early youth the journey to
TangieTs, Spain and the Holy Land, IN
aided and alone. Having pursued those
studies in the east which entitled him to
the dignity OF rabbi, he returned to Africa
and undertook from Algiers CONNER
cial and scientific expedition into the
Sahara and TimbuetOO. By force Of
sheer persistence he established the first
Jewish contingencies in TimbuetoO,
bus after ten years of unexsmpled effort
and perseverance his caravans were pill
LACED in the desert and he returned to
Morocco ruined man. The narrative
Of his misfOrtunes touched the French
consul at MOgadoT, who commended
him to the geOgraphiehel society. LAST
year the Rabbi MardOehee went to
PSris for the purpose OF laying be-
fore this society the project of another
expedition to TimbuctOo, having for its
object, as before, scientific inquiry and
commercial speculation, but on far
wider scale. His learning, his knowledge
and extraordinary research inspired so
much confidence that he vas finally
recommended to the government and
provided with the necessary means for
pursuing his plans. Toward this end
the Jewish community OF Paris con-
tributed munifcently, and in the latter
part Of last July the rabbi set out. As
many persons doubted that a Morocco
Jew could understand natural history,
he was subject before his departure to a
searching examination in the fauna and
flora Of the country he proposed to visit,
and in all cases his knowledge was equal
TO the proof. He was provided largely
with specimens of European msnufsc-
ture, and also sums of money for pur-
ehases, one Paris house slone presenting |
him with five thousand francs for the |
purpose. This expedition has created |
great interest in Algeria, not only in /
the scientific, but the commercial world. |

A STRANGE CHAPTER OF FAM
LY HISTORY.

Some time since, the New Haven
Journal says, 8 resident of that city,
named William BARITONE, together with
his sister, Mrs. Edwards, Of New Jersey,
came into possession OF q sum Of money,
after remarkable train of cireum-
stances, somewhat as follows: He ap-
piled to a firm OF young attorneys in the
city, Messrs. A. D. and r. L. Penny,
claiming that he and his sister were en-.
titled to this sum, which was held in
trust by the treasurer of the city Of
Brooklyn, under the will OF their father
willed to his second wife, should she APP
pear to claim it. In case Of her failing
to do SO, it was Willed to BARITONE and
sister. 1t appeared that the elder Bart
hone, when wealthy merchant in New
Orleans, married for his SECOND wife g
Creole of beautiful face and form, the
first wife being dead. a special license
from the State court being necessary to
8 legal marriage, this was first obtained,
This lovely Creole, it is stated, was in
love with one by the unpoetic name OF
Hans Smith, and set herself to
work to get rid Of BARITONE,
eOpperas. When he was at last
lClulEG " ucdt4 , uOoA lILULEu nEE El-
forts, she robbed the house anc fed with
Hans to France. Physicians discovered
the poisoning scheme, administered an
tidotes, and BARITONE recovered to learn
the CreOle's fsithlessness. Not over
come, he entered into business in Brook
Ign, gathered more wealth, and died
willing the bulk of bis property TO his
two children by the first wife, whom, it
seems, he had been unable 10 ind. Ihey
were sent TO school in New York, when
the Creole mother assumed the domestic
reins, and the daughter had married and
the son enlisted in the army. Adver-
tisements and ali efforts failed to bring
the children, and the father died with
out hearing from them. The will, as
stated, left quite q sum to the Creole WO-
man. Strange as it may seem, detect
ives learned that Hans proved faithless
to her after the stolen funds were ex-
hsusted, and that she returned to New
Orleans and set up house Of ill-repute
and died. Proofs Of death being brought,
the city treasurer of Brooklyn turned
over the money 10 the rightful claimant.

FLIGHTY COSTUMES.


A terrible fashion has been introduced
this autumn ia Paris to swell the bills
and excite an honorable emulation IN
extravaganza. Some one has discover
ed that trimming q dress with Bird
feathers has an exceedingly charming
appearance, and that envy is excited in
proportion to the rarity Of the bird that
ID piucked. The lady who has intro
duced this novelty made her first ap-
pearance in 8 costume which evidently
left nothing to be desired; though we
are unable to understand the millinery
jsrgoD in which il is described. The
tunic was trimmed with the feathers Of
the jay, but only the blue ones that
form part Of the wing. AS the jay is
not q very common birG-fOr he is an
enemy to gamekeepeFs, and even the
legislature has put price on his head
those feathers must have cost a pretty
sum. But what viii old ladies and
children exclaim when they hear that
another DleTUeiltstse, not 20 be OutdOne,
has ordered a black silk dress to be
trimmed with canary feathers2 1t is
not easy to calculate how many
hundreds OF these little ereA-
lures would have to be butch
cred before the quantity re-
quisite to produce the effect would be
obtained. Then arises the question,
what next? To ladies of inventive ge-
MUS, the geological gardens offer Oppor-
tunities, the thought of which ought to
strike terror into the breast OF DR.. Scia-
ter. A pelicanis beak as a hairpin
would set off the largest ehignOn. How
many eOckatoos' graceful tOp-knots
would be required to furnish forth a
costume de colsr could only be q matter
Of speculation, and the iudicious ex-
penditure of q few sixpenny visits.
A fiamingO's leg would make an ele-
CANT parssol handle, and 8 tigers tail
comfortable as well as an unusual boa.
The mask of the polar bear, neatly
trimmed with vultUre's feathers, would
make very striking as well as 3 warm
covering for the head durinq the COM
ing winter. But these are rather speeu-'
latiOns for the man milliners. If we
only live long enough we shall no
doubt see the elephant and rhinoceros
contribute something else besides their
'ivOries" to the exigencies Of fashion,
and when the earth and the air are ex-
hsusted there viii remain the great dezp

where he might ultimately graduate for
that profession, so that we might educate
such corps of teachers as would per.
petuste the pride and glory Of our State
bring about a homogeneity of feeling
and perfect harmony, where now there
is too often discord. This is witt
most, and we hope soon will b,
3 leading and cardinal policy with all o
the States of the Union. The great re
public is to be perpetuated by educated
men and women, who will know how
to value liberty and how to appreciate
the blessings Of our form of government
The APPEAL desires that Tennessee,
shall in this, as in all other respects, b'
equal to the most favored of her sistel
States. Until the past four years one o.
those at whom just reproach has beer
leyeled for the undue number of igno,
rant and uneducated within her borders
she has entered the race for educational
honors, and we hope will, in q few
years, bear off the palm. 1t is in
this spirit that Mr.. Charles Kortreeht
and his eo-workers of our city school
board are laboring, and in this spirit
they viii work until they can say
that our public schools are an ac-
complished fact, beyond cavil or carp
ing or the reach of technical flaw.
Reading the interview had with that
gentleman yesterday by our reporter, it
viii be seen that he stakes his high rep
utation as one of the foremost Of our
lawyers upon the legality Of the dis
puted school-tax, and as president Of the
school board asserts with regret that so
far from being as the mayor says, too
expensive, the schools are conducted
with an economy bordering on niggard-
ness. Those who know Mr.. Kortecht's
hfe-that he himself is the product of a
free school and the architect Of his own
fortune resting upon a commOE-school
education, that he has never been q
spendthrift of his own or the peoples
money, that he has built up whatever
he has of worldly wealth by
slow accretions-will not charge
him with ignorance of economy. And
if they will take the trouble to look over
the payroll of the teachers in our city
schools they will see that his every utter
ance in this regard is fully borne out by
the facts. Indeed, he is rather under
than over the mark, and answers our
reporter with as much care as If before
the grand inquest of the State. While
we have no reflections for the mayor,
who we are honestly OF the opinion, is
endeavoring to do his whole duty con
scientiously by the city, we must yield
the palm to Mr.. Kortrecht, not only for
a clearer explanation Of the vexing ques-
ton Of the school-tax, but for breadth
of sympathy with the public educational
Interests worthy of his position as presi-
dent of the school board. There is
neither hating nor hesitation with him.
He speaks his mind as freely, fearlessly
and candidIy as John League himself,
but goes more than bow-shot beyond
the mayor in q clearer statement, a
deeper sympathy and a more hearty
support of the schools, the scholars and
the teachers" God bless them, every

in Hayti contains about fifteen clergy

TRE PROPOSED SUBSTITUTE
FOR STEAM.

From the New York Herald.
The interesting announcement of 8
substitute for steam as q motive power
has been recently made in Germany
from a source entitled to q hearing. The
rapid consumption of the earth's fuel
supply and the drain on its forests, at
tended by so many disastrous cOuse-
queDces, have stimulated scientific in
ventOrs to find q successor for steam,
and it is to be hoped the present diseov-
cry will prove q success. The new motor
is carboleum, and its application to ma
chinery is claimed for DR.. Beins, of
Groningen, who has devoted many
years to its study and utilization. Ex-
pertinent first taught him that when the
bicarbonate of sodium is heated in q
close space, at q temperature of eight
hundred degrees Fahrenheit, liquid car
bonic acid is distilled out of it, having
the expansive force Of fifty or sixty at
mOspheres. Carboleum is not danger
Gus as an explosive, and the fact that,
thus employed as the German inventor
proposes, it is possessed Of enormous
motive power, was Gttested by scientific
men to whom the experiments were
shown. The heat required to bring out
this motive power of the carbOnic acid
in the new carboleum engine is apparent
ly very small when compared with that
requisite for producing q high pressure
of steam in the ordinary engine. In
the former it is only three pounds Of coal
per hour for each horse power represent
ed by the engine-an amount so small
that it would be unnecessary in ships
driven by the new process to devote
much space for fuel. The chief value Of
the invention, however, is claimed to be
its practicability in large factories. The
author thinks that for the great indus
tries the carbOleUm engine can, in near
ly every instance take the place ofsteam.

HOW BANGS CAME TO BE AN
EDITOR.

I
I believe have never reported TO the
public the case OF Colonel Bangs, the
editor of The Morning argus. Bangs
became journalist because he couldn't
help it. Shortly after he was born, it
was discovered that the supply OF nour-
ishment afforded by the maternal fount
was insufficient, and the doctor ordered
that the baby should be fed upon goats
milk. This was procured from a goat
that was owned by an IrishWoman, who
lived in rear Of the Office of The WeetilJ
STARTER, and fed her goat chiefly upon
the exchanges which came to that iour-
nal. The consequence was that Young
Bangs was fed entirely upon milk that
was formed from digested newspapers,
and he throve on it, although when the
lTishwOman mixed the Democratic Jour
nails with the Wing papers. they disa-
greed after they were eaten. and the
mix gave the baby the collie. Old Bangs
intended the boy to be minister, but as
soon as he was old enough to take no.
tee, he cried for every newspaper he hap
pened to see, and no sooner did be learn
how TO write than he began to slash off
editorials upon 1.-THE impending Crisis,U
etc. He ran away from school four
times to enter 3 newspaper office as 3
devil, and finally, when Old Bangs put
him in the house of refuge, he started a
weekly in there, and called it The House
Of Refuge Record; and one day he slid
over the wall, and went down to the
Era Office, where he changed his name
to WhsDgs, and began his career on
that paper with an article on "Our Re-
1ormatory Institutions for the YOung.u
Then old BANGS suTTaDdorad IN vr6at
seemed combination Of manifest des-
tiny and goats milk, and permitted
MN TO pursue ais profession. The colo
nei says be has the instinct so strong
that If he should fall into the crater u
Vesuvios, his first thought On striking
bottom would be 10 write to somebody |
to ask for desdhead pass to come out |
with. But you would hardly believe
this story il you read the Argtss. often
suspect, when I am LOOKING over that i
sheet, that the nurse used to mix thet
goats milk with an unfair proportion OF /
