Cabinet or Parl0r Organs.

These have become the most popular
of large musical Instruments. There
are now about two hundred and fifty
makers of these in the United States,
who produce more than forty thousand
organs per anmum. Most of these are
very poor instruments. This is natur-
ally 50, because there are few articles
in the manufacture of which 50 much
saving can be made by the use Of infer
ior, improperly prepared material, anu
inferior workmanship, and Yet winch,
when finished, show 50 little difference
to the average purchaser. The Impor-
tant parts of an organ, made rs We'll as
they can toe, cost Two or three time as
much as if made rs low aS possible.
Yet, when the organ is done, it Is not
easy from casual hearings to tell the
difference between the best anu :; very
poor one. Especially when shown by
one who knows how to cover up defects,
to one who has not special skill in such
matters, it is not difficult to make a
poor organ appear Il good one.
The temptation to makers, then, to
produce, ut Il fraction of the cost, IN
organ which will sell almost rs well is
n GOOD one i almost irresistible. Hence
the fact that SO few good organs are
made and 50 many poor ones, and that
the country is flooded with pcddicrS
and dealers selling these poor organs,
which pay such large profits. The buyer
of the poor organ does not fail to lind
out his mistake after Il while. The thin
reedy tone of his cheap organ soon be
comes offensive, it works nol>lly and
roughly, is constantly ont of order. and
becomes useless by the time Il really
good instrument would have been get
ting into its prime. \ good organ
ought to last Il generation, ut least: Il
poor n may last five Years, with con
siderable tinkering, or may break down
much sooner
There is one safe way. Get a genuine
production of one Ofthc very best makers
and YOU cannot 90 aStray. Among these
undoubtedly stands pre-cminent the
Mason II lIamlin Organ Co., whose
organs are so we'll known that other
makers are generally content to claim
that they can make rs gG0d an organ as
the Mason 4 IIamlin. They invented
and introduced the Cabinet or ParlorO Or
gan in its improved form, started with
and have always closely adhered to the
policy of making only the best work,
have shown such skill As has given their
organs the highest reputation, not only
in this country but also in Europe. At
the Great Exposition ut Vienna, in COM
petition with eighty of the best makers
in the world, they obtained the highest
medals. TO cnumcrate the compete
tionS at which they have received SINH
lar h0nors would be to give Il list of the
fairs ut which they have exhibited; and
to mention the prominent musicians
who recommend their organs is unequal
ell would really be to give Il very good
list of the most illuStriouS musical names
in the country, with Il good representa-
ton in Europe.

he has the best instrument OF its class

The Strange Disease.

LIKE the thief at night, it steals in upon
US unawarcs. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and sometimes in
the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the
mouth has a bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort of sticky slime collects
about the teeth. The appetite is pOon.
There is a feeling like a heavy load on the
stomach, sometimes a faint, all-gOne scnsa-
ton at the pit OF the stomach, which food
does not satisfy. The eyes are sunkcn, the
hands and feet become cold and feel clam
my. After awhile a cough sets in, at first
dry, but after i few months it is attended
with grccnish-cOlorcd eXpcctoration. The
patient feels tired all the while, and sleep
does not appear to afford any rest. After 4
time he becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forchudin~S. There is
a g~iddinCSS, n sort Of whirling sensation in
the head when rising up suddenly. The
bowels become ~cOstivc, the skin is dry and
hot at times. The blood becomes thick and
%stagnant. the whites of the eyes become
Hinged with yellow, the urine is scanty and
high-cOlOrcd, dcpositing a sediment after
standing. There is frequently a splitting up
of the food, sometimes with a sour taste
and sometimes a swcetiSh taste. This Is
frequently attended with palpitation of the
heart. The vision becomes impaired with
spots before the eyes. There is a feeling of
great prOStratiOn and weakness. All of
these symptoms do not make their appear
ancc at one time, but during the various
stages they are in turn present. 1t is
thought that nearly one-third Of our popu-
lation has this disease in some of its varied
forms. 1t has been found that medical men
have mistaken the nature of this disease.
Some have treated it for liver complaint,
some for dyspepsia, Others for kidney dis
case, etc, etc, but non of these various
kinds of treatment have been attended with
success. 1t is found, however, that the
SHAKER EXTRACT OF ROOTs mot a patent
incidence, when prepared properly, will re-
move the disease in all its stages. Care
should be taken to procure a good article.

thwarted and treated with contempt.

Ladies BETTING ON Horse Races


Olive Logan does not spare her sex
when an opportunity offers TO give them
a sly fling. AS the correspondent at Long
Branch Of a weekly contemporary, she
hits them off thusly:
1t would have astonished some of our
pure.minded ancestors il they could have
seen the very learned way in which many
ladies enjoyed the excitement of betting
at the Long Branch races. Sitting on
the grand stand, boxes Of gloves flew
around me 6guratively; FIVE, ten, twenty
dollar bills passed from hand to hand in
an unblushing way; and it is seid that
the largest number of buyers in the
French pools we're ladies. The story
goes that a lady, well known in Balti-
more society, hurriedly beckoned to her
husband, and, placing a five dollar bill
in his hand, said: Here, dear, put that
in the pool on Spendrift, quicki' The
husband walked away and kept the
money in his pocket, feeling in no mood
to throw away a FIVE dollar bill. But, 10
and behold, Spendrift won the racel and
when my gentleman returned to his wife
he found her all excitement. 1.-THE horse
has won-he has won-go claim the win.
ningsl" she said. The amount which
she would have won was f&ty-nine dol
lars, and to avoid a scene the husband
paid it and held his tongue.

Hport In France.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Telegraph writes: "a droll
story comes to us from the city Of Mar
settles. The hero. is a gentleman we'll
known both there and in Paris. On his
property near Marseilles he once had
rabbits, which the innumerable poachers
Of the South have terminated. There is
now, as every one knows, a sincere
though uHcultivated admiration for field
sports in France. This gentleman was
quite ashamed to think that he could not
offer ven rabbit shooting to a friend on
his estates. Bat the remedy was simple
The empty warrens could be restocked.
Orders to this effect he sent from Paris,
and a great quaHtity of coneys were
turned down. The season Of the chase
opened two or three days since, and a
goodly show Of guns M-led out to har-
rass his game. Grit with horns prob.
ably, and furnished with embroidered
game bags, the party approached the
scene OF action. To their mingled hor-
ror and delight, the rabbits sailed forth
full gallop, greeting their executioners
with JOY, and came running up to their
gathered legs. Never vas there such a
welcome; Lops and half-lops, Dutch and
Angora bounded to meer the sportsmen
tumbling one across another in delight.
The fact is, that the garde chase had
bought tame rabbits, which be had been
used to feed in that very spot"

the absorbing theme of the hour. The
ladies are out in force engaged in the
sale of tickets, and we earnestly trust
that every gentleman will respond gene
rously to- their application to purchase
one. The public will find these tickets
for sale also ct the book and music

make this first effort on behalf of the
Centennial grand success by buying
tickets and attending the novel
and delightful entertainment for
Thursday night next. Messrs. Barbiere

basis, begin the work of arousing the

California, though he will not stay long
anywhere. Only a few numbers were
issued, and these we're mostly sent out TO
Texas to advertise a lottery which said
Cole evolved from his inner conscious
ness. he sold some tickets, perhaps
several thousand dollars worth, and
concluded to go West and grow up with
the country. The drawing will be held
when Birnam wood shall come to
Dunsinane."
