popular favor. 1t has been Republic
can. Surely it would not offend SEN
ator Conkling, unless his power was
on the wane. Yet it calls his speech
at Utica the Gospel of Hatred" and
treats his eulogy Of the work done by
his party in this summary fashion:
providence devolved upon that par
ty the most sacred mission ever en-
trusted to a political organization
to build up the shattered States; to
bind up the wounds and heal the sores;
to give opportunity to the misguided
white man and protection to the black;
to consecrate and consolidate the re-
suits Of emancipation, so that the new
relation should be benefit to the
master as we'll as the slave; to revive
the dormant and paralyzed industries
of the South; to restore the railway
system, the cotton and sugar crops,
and to enter heartily and fratsrnally
into the sore needs of all classes. To
this we were prompted by every in
stinct of brotherhood to men who
were our brothers, and by every in
stinct Of selfshness as members of
Uuion which co I'D never be har-
monious Union so long as anarchy
reigned in large Section Of States;
so long as sovereign Commonwealth
were suffering from bad legislation
excessive taxation, unwise and prof
ligate administration This, we say,
was the mission accepted by Mr..
Conkling and his friends in 1865. 10
this work they have been devoting
themselves for nine years, and now
the result is, according to Mr.. Conk-
ling's own statement, that Ignorant,
weak, venal men rule the South, and
Grant cannot be spared from Wash
ington lest the honest masses should
oyerturn them.

u.s. The Boston Advertiser, in re-
viewing the actions of the State con-
ventions thus far on the currency
question, says: IF we do not mis-
Judge events, the result OF all this will
be that the next House Of Representa-
tives will be more evenly divided on
the currency question than is the
present, and we feel certain that there
will be gain to the hard-money par
f. in the already closely divided
States. The South has not been can
yassed at all on this issVe."

THE PIANO FoRM.-The different merits
of the grand and square instruments are
discussed in this wise by the R.ral Ne,c
I0rher;- We spent some little time lately
in examining the grand and square grand
pianos recently produced. The grand piano
powerful and sweet as its tone is, and,
therefore, desirable instrument, is not
pleasing in outline, and takes up much
room i'll the paror. A square piano, if it
can be had without too much sacrifice of
essentials. looks better and is more conve.
nient. The WATERS square grand is, SO
far as eye and ear could determine, just tie
thing needed. The tone is remarkably
even, the treble being brilliant without
metallic ring, the base toverstrungl sonor-
Gus, and entirely free from the mutfied tone
so frequently observable in new pianos.
The sustained singing tone was exceeding
ly well developed. The power, sweetness,
purity and evenness of the tone We're per-
feotly satisfactory. ~. \. Home Journal.

THE New PLAN.-Nothing in the way
of advertisements has appeared this season
that will command SO much attention as
the remarkable advertisement of Messrs.
Wanamaker & Brown, corner Sixth and
Market streets, Philadelphia, that stands
out to-day so prominently in our columns.
1t is emphatically ,eorM reading. There is
the mind of one of the most systematic ad-
danced heads that this business age has
produced. Ever striving for the van, Oak
Hall, this year, has made, as it justly
claims, great stride up and over business
customs. Were the house feeble branch
the purchasing world would know it could
not stand up to the principles announced.
Were the house not noted for its honorable
standing, we are sure it ,cOuld not do it.
But customers who have dealt there before
will go again, and new ones drawn by their
tempting offers, will try them, and the
great CLOTHING HOUSE will reap in the
future, as it has in the past, the enormous
advantage of abundant means, united with
unblemished honor, and an acute sense of
what is due between man and man in this
impOrtant trade,
