Cabinet or ParIor Organs.

Among Cabinet or Parlor Organs, those made
by the Mason & Hamlin Organ Co. stand indis-
putably highest, having a most remarkable
record. In its present FORM this instrument
was introduced by these makers, seventeen
years since, and the almost universal result OF
comparisons at competitive exhibitions, and
testimony of musicians, is that the organs OF
their make are unequaled by any others. Such
reputation have they obtained in foreign coun-
tries that London alone has purchased more
than one Thousand of them in a single year.
At all the great Worlds Exhibitions for ten
years, at Paris, Vienna, Santiago and Phila-
delphia, they have carried off highest honors.
In the whole range of aim 0st innumerable ar
ticles placed in competition in our great Cen
tennial Exhibition, last year, there is scarcely
one respecting which the report of the Jury is
SO emphatic in recognizing its superiority to all
competing articles. They unanimously assign
to these organs g the first rank in the several
requisites of the Glass; which is equivalent to
saying that they excel in all important quail
ties. Mr.. George F. Bristow, the distinguished
composer of New York, who was one of the
examining jurors, writes that the Jury had no
difficulty in deciding which reed organs were
entitled to highest commentator; adding, =
believe that every member of the Jury heartily
concurred in assigning to those of your make,
and yours only, the first rank in all important
qualities of such instruments" ~
The Mason & Hamlin Co. are offering, this
season, new and more attractive Organs than
ever before, and at lower prices Sec their ad-
vertisement in another column.

then wheeled and returned over his
route of the previous day. Men were
waiting for him, but he scarcely appear
ed before he was out of sight. He was
pacing and trotting by turns, and not
until he reached the end of that eighty
mile chase did he break into a run.
When near the fort he crossed the ridge,
shook off his last pursuer, and entered a
dark canyon in the mountains. The In
dams traced him until the canyon split
into three or four rocky defiles, and then
they camped down with the determine
ton to wait till hunger and thirst should
drive the fugitive out. Darkness came,
midnight came, and the watchers had
heard nothing.
With the soft tread of a wolf, almost,
d foe stole upon the Indians sleeping I'M
der the walls of the fort. Step! step!
step! and white object stood within
ten feet of the first sleeper and peered
! this way and that. 1t was White Devil!
The red men were still waiting in the
dark canyon, but the horse had emerged
from the range by some defile known
and used before.
The sentinel at the gate heard a
shrill neigh, saw the smouldering
brands of the dying camp-fires flung
high in the air, and next moment the
Indians were yelling and screaming in
alright. Back and forth charged the
horse, striking, kicking, and uttering
wild neighs, and he did not disappear
until the roll of the drum called the SOL
diers to arms.
The Indians had suffered such dam
ages that they were determined to kill
the tormentor as soon as daylight came,
though his life had heretofore been held
sacred. He was heard racing up and
down while night lasted, and when
morning broke he was in plain sight
The Indian heart almost relented al
sight of the strong limbs, milk-white
coat, and silver eyes, but White Devil
dared them to the attack by prancing
up and down and finging his heels
about.
Separating into squads of ten, the
red men rode out on the prairie. White
Devil stood still, ears fiat to his head, lip
down, and one foot raised little. When
three of the squads were in pistol shot
they halted and thirty rifles
covered the brave lone horse. While
they were thus held he gathered his feet
like cat and dashed at the neares
horsemen. A roar of rifles and vol
y-of bullets stopped him. Struck by
a score of balls, he halted, reared up
shook his beautiful head in agony O
pain, and fell and died without groan
The Indians gathered around but they
!, did not exult. As they stroked hi
glossy neck and sleek sides they said t.
one another:
} Sc He was brave! We will paint hi,
, picture on our war shields, and the body
shall be buried from the wolves !"-Nee,
York San.

Mysteries of a Lump of Coal.

For years no one supposed that
piece of soft coal, dug from its mine or
its bed in the earth, possessed any other
quality than being combustible, or was
valuable for any other purpose than as
fuel. 1t was next found that it would
afford gas which is also combustible.
Chemical analysis proved it to be made
of hydrogen. In process of time me-
chanical and chemical ingenuity devised
a mode of manufacturing this gas and
applying it to the lighting of buildings
and cities on large scale. In doing
this, other products of distillation were
developed, until, step by step, the fol-
lowing ingredients or materials are ex-
tracted from it: l. An excellent oil to
supply lighthouses, equal to- the
best sperm oil, at lower
cost. 2. Benzole-a light sort of
ethereal fluid, which evaporates easily,
and combined with vapor or moist air,
is used for the purpose of portable gas
lamps, so-called. 2. Naphtha-a heavy
fluid, useful to dissolve gutta percha,

The Mystery of a Corpse.

A special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Gdz cite, from Hillsboro, O., Oct. 80,
says: On the third day of our County
Fair the dead body of young man, a
stranger, was found in the road near
Hillsboro, 10 miles west of this place.
An inquest was held, but there being
nothing about his person by which he
could be identified, he was buried by the
authorities, 2and a pistol, razor, four
Franklin County Democratic tickets, a
prescription signed by an Illinois physi-
clan and a pocket-book containing So. 80
in money, deposited with Judge Nor
ton. A day or two afterward a gentle
man from near Williamsburg, O., see
ing the account of the suicide in the pa
pers, became convinced that it was his
brother-in=law, Moses Henderson, who
had disappeared under myterious cir
cumstances. The body was disinterred,
and pronounced by the gentleman to be
his relative. 1t was taken up and
reinforced in Laurel Graveyard,
in Clermont County, as the remains
of the missing man. Moses Henderson,
however, was not to be disposed in that
way, for to the utter CONSERVATION OF
his relatives and friends he appeared a
few days thereafter among them in the
flesh, and the question of whose corpse
it was they had given sepulture became
more serious than pleasant. 1t is
thought now, however, that the mystery
has been solved On last Sabbath Mr..
L. Morehead, of Shadeville, Franklin
County, arrived here, having also read
the reports of the case in the GGz cite.
His half-brother, Thomas Ramsey, left
home on the Wednesday before the body
was found, and his actions at the time
gave rise to some uneasiness to his
friends. Mr.. Merehead gave a correct
description of the articles found on the
body before they were shown to him,
and identified the revolver and razor at
once as his br.ther's property, and start
ed Immediately to where the body was
buried, intending to have it again disin-
tered and removed to his home near
Columbus.
FIVE Cinnamon in wagon were en-
tering Oroville, Cal, when man with

In the Museum.

Carnivorous beasts from the tropical chimes
With birds resplendently feathered,
And wonderful relics of ancient times,
In the museum here are gathered
Cetaceous fishes and Shiny snakes,
And monkeys amazingly busy
No wonder the head of the gazer aches.
Nc wonder his brain grows dizzy.
Inhaling the musty odor, tread
Where all is enveloped in wonder;
The Twelve Apostles hang over my head,
With an Indian tomahawk under.
The stuffed rhinoceros savageIy glares
With his glass eye fixed and defiant,
While the hippopotamus skeleton scares
The famous Western giant.
The homeless wonder performs his acts
And bends his body double,
While Charley Ross looks on in wax,
Forgetful of all his trouble.
The AIbino by no means appears at ease,
So near to the alligator;
While the Polar Bear is inclined to freeze
To the Lightning Calculator.
The bearded lady, it seems to me,
Is trifle too proud and airy; f.t--...
Perhaps she fancies herself to be
An heiress as well as hairy.
While the fat woman smiles in graciou!
way,
And sits in a corner shady
If flesh be grass, what lot of hay
Could be harvested from this lady.
The painters art before me, see,
Some Biblical scenes discloses,
And in them Judas is shown to be
A great deal meel1er than Moses.
And here-oh, strangest of natures freaks
Are the wild men from Molacho
stand and listen while one of them speaks
"Say, Mike, have you got some tobacco?''
Birds and beasts and fishes and snakes
In the museum all so busy
What wonder the head of the gazer aches,
What wonder his brain grows dizzyl

Cheap Cooking.

The Philadelphians are gradually de-
veloping a system for relieving some
what the eternal drudgery of house
keeping. Family baking of meats, pies,
buildings, cake, and bread is being per-
formed by bakers at very moderate
charge. Thus, for pies: cents apiece;
for bread loaves, 4 cents a pan; for rice
buildings, 3 cents a pan; for a pan of
roast meat, 5 cents. By this method
the food is better cooked, and hours of
tiresome attendance on little cooking
stoves are saved. These latter supposed
useful mechanisms in reality furnish
great tax on the housewives time and
patience. They involve continual watch
ing to be kept at the proper heat. The
labor of 10 horses is expended every
year in bringing Goals for them, and
they keep the atmosphere at an insult
ferable temperature in warm weather.
The time and labor wasted in thousands
of families by our present system of per-
forming this domestic service in drib-
lets is enormous. A few men on man
of-war or an ocean steamer perform
every culinary necessity for thousand
guests. The whole service is Temporal
rily taken from their shoulders. Yet
on the breaking up of these temporary
households, the chances are probable on
shore that each family betake itself to
the old-fashioned dribbling, drudging
household style of culinary service with
ont one thOu0ht of the time labor and
expense saved by having all this labor
delegated to a few. One baker and an
assistant can cook dinners for a hundred
families, possibly more, at an expense
of say 20 cents per family. The necessa-
ry pail of coal and kindlings for cook
ing a single dinner costs II cents alone.
This amount of fuel must be provided
for each of the hundred families, and,
in every one of them, the time and la
Dor of one person for at least an hour
will be required to get up each dinner.
The economical moral to be drawn from
this is obvious, and need not be detailed
in figures. We are as yet great blum
derers in the science of living. Multi
tudinous cooking-stoves, stewing over
fires, driblets of attendance all through
the day on the requirements of the
kitchen, drudging with loads of coal up
five or six flights of stairs, all contribute
among other evils to break down the
wife of the mechanic and laborer and
permanently rob her of all bloom, beauty,
and vigor.-Net0 York Graphic.
