Illc war OF tile piano makers has broken ont

dent Grant was inauguratcd !: new piano was
purchased, which has been in use ever since.
Rival pfano-makers now desire to remove the
old instrument and replace it with Il new one
The competition is as lively for the place Of the
old instrument as is the competition for Post
otf'res in the Southern States. All OF tue
competing manufacturers make liberal offers,
aud propose to give new instrument iii ex-
cliange for tile old ono. The successful com
petItor expects that the advertisement his pianos
will receive BY having one on duty at the Ex-
ecutiye Mansion will more than compensate for
the difference between the valuation of the old
aud new instruments. The President, to escape
the annoyance OF the rival manufacturers, has
referred the matter to commission OF Wash
inston gentlemen familiar with the merits OF
the several make OF pianos, aud will accept the
instrument which they decide to be the best.

and says after the concentration of the

portion of their forces were ordered to
advance by way of Eskidjums aud
Osmau Bazaar upon Tirnovia. TO unite
with Osman Pasha there. and then to
follow the rear of the Russian detach-

they are meeting with determined re.
sistance. General Zimmermans corps
advancing through tho Dobrudseha is
