Submit the following facts to
those who contemplate buying a

plete knowledge of the superior
advantages possessed by the
CHICKERING manufacturers will
help to decide all purchasers who
want the best.
1. The Cbickering Pianos have been exhibited in
competition with the planes of every well known
maker in the world and in every instance, Oihoat
single exception, have been awarded Honors and
Prizes in aduamce Of all Competitors.
2. Nearly Fifty Thousand Chickering Pianos have
been manufactured and sold. Last year Chickering
g. Sons manufactured and sold more Pianos by sew
eral hundred than any other rst-class piano maker
in the United States.
3. Chiokering & Sons Factory is the largest piano
manufactory in the world.
4. All the Vital Points of Improvement i'm all
Pianos now made in America were first introduced
by Chickering s. Sons, and subsequently copied or
initiated by all other makers in the country without
exception.
8, Every part of the Chickering Piano is made in
the Chickering Factory Except of course the hard
ware used in the panos which is purchased by every
maker), and the immense force of skilled artisans
employed is, and always has been under the personal
supervision of Chckering g. Sons. Chickering g.
Sons being the largest manufacturers in the world
and having the first reputation, have not only been
able to employ the best in the various branches
of manufacture, but they have been caused positive
inconvenience at times by the number of applications
for employment from the best workmen of other
makers.

Southern swagger

The Charleston Is. CO. Ne,cS says:
THE sooner the people of the United
States come to the understanding
that q Southerner is an American
citizen by his own right, and not by
anybody grace, the quicker will the
country be truly united"
II dltracts from the virtue of mag
nanimity TO boast of it, and it is IN
pleasant to be forced to remind peo-
pie of the gratitude they owe; but
the constant reiteration of the above
sentiment by the Southern press and
by Southern orators n%ecessitates the
declaration that such utterances are
childish, puerile, and unworthy even
Of a very low order of intelligence.
There are upward of sixty members
Of the House Of Representatives who
are not Anglican citizens by their

Putting the mildest construction

there is one law for rebels through
