A NEW GAME OF PLAYING CARDS.-A
new style of playing cards has been introlu-

new cards are circular, about three inches in
diameter, and each suit is printed in different
color. Upon the extreme edge OF the circular
the number OF the card is printed in figures III
the same color as the suit in which the card be-
longs. The face cards, instead OF being s'sin-
gle or double heasls,'' have five heads. all ct
which rsdate from the centre, and can be rec

for these cards are. that. being circular, the
edges will not wear aat. The distinct color OF

LEO P. WHEAT'S ORGAN RRCITAL.-The
acknowledged excellence Of Mr.. Wheat as an
organist, renders anything that we might say
at the D. D. s.. B. Institution, oa Monday
night, altogether unnecessary. All who have
ever listened to the magnificent strains OF that
noble instrument as the talented musician
swept the keys, must have felt that it was Hl-
der some magic influence, in response to Whose
touch the rarest notes lept from their recesses
like a thing of life, and the very beauty and
grandeur of music at once claimed utteSance.
At times the large organ seemed to throb and
palsate. as if astounded at its own wendsoas
power. and then to pour forth its richest treas
ures in such quick succession, that the wall
half ten,bled nntii the climax was reached in
one grand burst Of eloeHeHee. More particu-
darby was this noticeable in the overture to Will
liam Tell.
