ABOUT MUSICAL BoXEs-At times when
business is dull, or when losses and disap-
pointments OF various kinds make life a
burden, we look around us for something
That shall keep OF eE1lIr or soOtne the
trou bled mind, and sometimes we fiud IL no
easy matter 10 meet with the charmer VINO
has the power TO "drive dull care away"
Such a magician has, however, been pro-
vlded lately in the form of a musical box,
which, without any trouble on the part of
the possessor, will perform the duties which
clan by those who have been vexed by a
melancholy if not an evil spirit.
Mr.. j. T. Heller, of Berne, Switzerland,
has brought this instrument 10 the highest
degree of perfection. At the Exhibition of
Vienna, where Mr.. Heller obtained the
Medal of Merit for his musical boxes, they
caused the greatest sensation; their richness
OF tone, and the great variety of airs played
by them, made them one of the great centers
all who could be ''moved by concord of
sweet sounds" They have been introduced
into several large hotels, and have proved
highly serviceable in ministering to the en-
joyment of the visitors. Few things could
be more suitable for present to those by
whom we desire To be remembered than one
OF these Instruments. Such gift would not
be likely to be laid aside and forgotten, but
often called upon TO raise its tuneful voice
IL would not fail each time TO remind its
possessorS OF those from whom IL had been
received.
Mr.. Heller's musical boxes are sent to all
parts of the world direct from the manufac-
tory. Illustrated catalogues with the prices
are forwarded gratis TO those applying for
them, and the smallest orders receive
prompt attention. 20,H,3

thus pulled him out and saved him from

Attempt TO Steal the Remains of the
MartYreA lincoln.

a special from the New York Herald
from Springfield, ILL.,, tells the following
singular story A most daring at
tempt was made last evening by several
scoundrels to break into the vault of the
Lincoln monument at this place and
steal therefrom the remains of the dead
president. Some weeks ago it was sus-
pected that designs of this kind were
premeditated, and a strict and constant
watch has been kept. 1t was thought
most likely that election night, when
everybody would be busy over the cleo
ton matters, would be selected for the
job. Elmer Washburne, late chief of
the secret service and United States De-
tective Tirrel, with several assistants,
were accordingly secreted in the recep-
ton room of the monument Wednesday
afternoon and evening. At9o'clock the
attempt was made. The vault was en-
tered, the sarcophagus was opened and
the burial case drawn out, when the de-
tectives sprang out, and by the accident
al discharge of a revolver the monsters
were frightened and fled into the shrub
berry. They are now being pursued and
although there is but slight clue to
their identity, they will doubtless be
taken. The design was a deeplv laid
plan by sharp men to arrange for ran
som.
A further explanation as to the motive
of this singular as we'll as sacrilegious
attempt is made in dispatch from Chi
cago to the New York Times as follows :;
An inquiry into the facts of this sim
gular case show that prior to the time
that Mr.. Elmer Washburne was invited
to resign his position as the head of the
Secret Service Bureau by the President
he had obtained information from De-
tectiye Tyrrell of the secret service in
Chicago that there was an attempt TO be
made TO remove the remains Of Abra-
ham Lincoln from the monument at
Springfield.
The most extraordinary part of this
disclosure was the agency the friends Of
Old Ben Boyd, the notorious counter
ieiter, now serving ten years term in
the Illinois Penitentiary, had in the pro-
posed scheme of villany. Ben Bovd
was captured bv Elmer Wasbburna
some time ago, and gang of counter
letters, such as seldom obtain a footbold
ID the state, was broken up Boyd
through the agency of his friends and
his own wealth, has for some time past
been trying to liberate himself from
prison. The shrewd scheme was to car

An Honest Return.

The oider of President Grant, relative
TO the final counting of the election re-
turns in Louisiana, cannot fail to receive
the hearty endorsement of every fair
minded citizen. 1t is simply to preserve
honesty and fair play, while men of both
political parties are to be present to see
and to know that there is an honest
count. The President was in Philadel-
phia in attendance upon the closing ex-
ercises of the centennial, at the time of
issuing the order, which we copy below
as follows:
PHILADELPHIA, Nov 10, 1876.
Gen. w. 7. Sherman, Washington, D. c. !:
Instruct General Anger in Louisiana
and General Ruger in Florida to be Wig
liant with the force at their command to
preserve peace and good order, and to
see that the proper and legal boards of
canvassers are unmolested in the per-
formance of their duties. Should there
be any grounds of suspicion Of fraudu-
lent count on either side it should be re-
ported and denounced at once. No man
worthy of the office of president should
be willing to hold it if counted in or
placed there by fraud Neither party
can afford to be disappointed in the re-
suit. The country cannot afford to have
the result tainted by the suspicion of il
legal or false returns. u. 5. GRANT.
