THE MAKERS.

The firm of J. Estey & Co. is made up of
Mr.. Jacob Estey, his son, Julius j. Estey, and
his son-in-law, Levi X. Fuller. Mr.. Estey,
senior, is the veteran reed organ maker of
America, if not of the world. He begun the
business in Brattleboro', thirty years ago, in
single room, with six workmen, and has make
his way constantly forward, in spite of more dis
asters and drawbacks than often attend such
enterprises. This fact is due to the man HIM
self. He has made himself, through force of
honesty, energy, shrewdness and perseverance.
Flooding on and on smiling at disasters by fire
and flood, planting his feet resoutely on all
obstacles, with indomitable faith in himself and
his work, he has reached very proud place
among his fellows while still in the prime of q
hale and vigorous manhood. His executive
ability is great. He knows every detail of the
vast business and watches its daily progress
with marvellous approach to omnipresence.
But, however absorbed he may be in this direc-
ton, he has never neglected his highest duties
and privileges as citizen. Always foremost
in everything conducive to the public welfare,
actively interested in affairs of church, State
and society, his influence has been wide and
good and the cordial esteem he has earned so
honorably waits impatiently for o fitting oppor-
tunity to do him honor in kind
The younger members of the firm, who have
been active partners for decade of years, had
been trained in the business under the tuition
partnership only served to concentrate their
energies. They are young men of sterling
natural ability, and seem to have been particu-
arly well fitted for the positions assigned them.
Mr.. julius Estey is at the head of the counting
room and supervises the mathematical intrica-
cies of the immense business with clear-head-
ed faculty that might well be considered a
synonym for uniform correctness. The count
ing-room of a mandatory is where its heart
beats. Health there means strong and
regular pulsation through all the veins and
arteries of workshop and storehouse. Mr.. Fuller
is at the head of the mechanics of the concern
His native talent, stimulated by thorough
mechanical training, has been invaluable and in
dispensable in the long and uninterrupted Sc
ries of experiments and inventions which, I'M
der his ready and intelligent guidance, have
been combined in the complete whole known as
the Estey Organ. Both these gentleman are,
equally with their elder; in the van of every
movement that tends to promote the public
wealth and prosperity ; as reliable, progressive,
faithful and enthusiastic in all such matters as
in their personal affairs. Character stamps
these men as ii does their manufactures Posi-
tive merit is the underlying principle of their
success.

THE MANUFACTORY

The Estey Organ mandatory is well worth
visit to any interested in mechan cal and art
progress. The works are situated on an eleva-
ted plateau overlooking considerable portion
of the village of Bratteboro'. They consist of
eight main slate covered factories, which are
forty feet apart three stories high, one hundred
feet long, and from thirty to thirty-eight feet
wide. Near by is a gas house, which supplies
not only the factories, but some portions Of the
village, with illuminating gas of excellent quail
ity. A steam fire engine, named 81. Estey,"
is kept constantly ready for use and may be
manned at moments notice by a drilled COM
pany of the workmen. A perfect system of
speaking tubes and electric bells establishes in
Simultaneous communication between the office
and all parts of the premises. Over five hum
bred workmen are employed, and every care is
taken to secure for them health, comfort and
safety, as well as a perfect and economical
working of the establishment. Many of the
little rooms occupied by the tuners are made
charmingly cozy with pictures and flowers, ar
ranged to suit the taste of the occupants. The
cheerful hum of machinery mingles with the
chirping Of thousands of reeds, and sends forth
a not discordant song of industry which pene-
trates many of the pleasant homes of the work
men.

THE ESTEY ORGAN.

Every organ which leaves the Estey manufac.
tory from the little Cottage Gem, with its four
octave manual and single set of forty-eight-
reeds, to the Double Bank Pedal Organ, with
seven full sets of reeds and sixteen stops, bear
the uniform stamp of entire faithfufnes3 in
manufacture. No need to puff such wares dd
nduseotn, with flaming advertisements like q
quack medicine ; no need to push their sales by
cheapening the price. A simple statement of
fact is their best recommendation. They are
as perfect as human ingenuity, care and skill
can make them, and are sold at the lowest
price consistent with fair profit. Whenever
improvements are possible they are adopted at
once, whether in workshop, machinery or instru-
ment. Under such circumstances, it ceases
to be a wonder that the sale of the
Estey Organ is increasing with such
rapidity, both at home and abroad; and
that enlarged facilities for its production are al
ready necessary, although the Estey establish
ment has been for years the largest reed organ
mandatory in the world. Nine thousand
organs were turned out last year. These organs
represented business of over one million dol
lars Such figures are more eloquent in testi-
mony of worth than the most fowery and skill
fully worded sentences.

Liver COmnlAint.

In this disease WIsTAR's BAIsAM has I'M.
doubtedly proved more eficacious than any
remedy hitherto employed ; and in numerous
instances where patients had endured long and
severe suffering, without receiving the least
benefit from various remedies. and when mer,
curry had been resorted to in vain, the use Of
the BALsAM has restored the liver to healthy
action, and in many instances effected perma-
nent cures, after every known remedy had fail
ed to produce the desired effect.

Come Now and Let Us Reason Together.

Why do people so frequently say to DIR.
Pierce: 81 suppose your Golden Medical Dis
covery cures everything ?" Because it has been
the practice of knavish charlatans to manufac-
ture worthless nostrums and attempt to dupe the
ignorant and credulous by recommending them
to cure every form of disease. To such an
extent has this been practiced that it is no won
der that many have acquired prejudices against
all advertised remedies. But DR.. Pierce does
not advertise his standard preparations as
"cure-alls," does not claim that they will per-
form miracles, but simply publishes the fact
that they have been developed as specifics for
certain forms of disease for which he recon-
mends them, after having tested their efficacy
i'll many hundred cases with the most gratifying
success. 1t is a fact known to every well in
formed physician that many single remedies
possess several different properties. Quinine,
for instance, has tonic quality, which sug-
gests its use in cases of debility; an anti-peri-
odic, by which it is efficacious in ague; and a
febrifuge property, which renders it eficacious
in cases of fever. The result of its administra-
ton will also vary with the quantity given and
the circumstances under which it is employed
So, likewise, the Golden Medical Discovery pos
sesses both pectoral and Alternative, or blood
cleansing properties of the highest order. By
reason of these two prominent properties 1t
cures two classes of diseases. First, those of
the respiratory organs, as throat, bronchial and
lung affections chronic coughs and asthma
and second, diseases of the blood and glandular
system, in which affections all skillful physi-
clans employ alternatives, as in cases of blotches
eruptions, ulcers, swellings, tumors, assesses
and in torpor of the liver Or " biiousness. ="
While its use is, by its combination of proper
ties, suggested in cases of pulmonary consump-
ton, yet you need not take it expecting it will
cure you if your lungs are half consumed, nor
because it is recommended as blood medicine
would its proprietor advise You to take it ex-
pectng it to cure cancer. 1t will not perform
miracles, but it will cure many grave forms Of

A room with pictures in it and room
without pictures differ by nearly as much
as room without windows. Nothing,
we think, is more melancholy, particu.
larry to person who has to pass much
time in his room, than the blank walls
and nothing on them; for pictures are
loopholes of escape to the soul, leading
it to other scenes and other spheres. II

THE HIGH N TRAMP.

Indignantly roarad the proprietor
"That's what | was looking
for" was the impudent reply.
Didn't you see it on the other
side of the houSe?" retorted the
gentleman.
How was I to know that was
the front door? No silver door. plate
no bell, no telephone, no statuary,
no servant, to take your hat and

THE MORMON MASSACRE.

ILlE MOINhON MAcohChE.
The San Francisco Call pub
fishes an interesting interview with
Captain John Morse concerning
the Moumain Meadows massacre
The gentleman referred to has
figured during many year of an
eyentful life as a frontiersman,
prospector, trapper and trader and
was in Utah prior to the Norman
settlement and for many years
after. At the time of the massacre
he was living with a land of I-u
dams not more than thirty miles
from Mountain Meadows. Two
days after the tragedyhe visited the
scene and saw the mqngIed bodies
Of the slaughtered e~migrants lying
on the ground as they had'been left
by the destroying horde of Nor
mon fanatics and their allies the
Indians. Captain Morse was in-
timately acquainted with Lee, and
that disputed saint in a conversa-
ton occurring years before the
trial admitted to Morse his COM
plicity III the atrocities; but in his
confession, so consisted and in his
off,hand declarations, he threw the
responsibility Of the butchery upon
the leaders of the Mormon church
and directlyimpIicated as accessory
before and after the fact Brigham
Young. Morse disputes Lees
statement that there were five hun
dred Indians present claiming that
there were not three hundred in
that whole section Of country
The butchcry was planned by the
Mormons we're excessively poor
having no money and scarcely any
things else. They would trade
their produce with Indians even
for old clothes. The train was a
very rich one excited their cupidity
Morse was very much with Lee
during hi stay in southern Utah,
and the latter unbossomed himself
freely. The subject of the mas
sacre seemed to dwell on his mind
that he constantly reverted to it.
Concerning the implication of Brig.
ham Young with the massacre,
More relates the following interr
view with Lee: The last time | saw
him was in Martin county. / got
to his rancho at night. The night
| got there he received a letter; in
fact, l brought in my self firm a
place called Kanava, which stated
that troops we're on Lees tracl
hunting him up, and he had better
move on a little further. He show
ed me the letter, and | said: lice

Do you suppose they would have

Morse says that no attempt was
mace to procure his testimony fur
Their than that he was sent for to

river near Fort Youma. Lee was

THE REVENGE FRAlN-IN TIE.
FACE.
BY HENRY W. LoNGFELLow.

In the desolate land and lone
Where the Big Hone and Yellowstone
T Roar down their mountain path,
BY their fires the Sioux chiefs
Muttered their woes and griefs
And the menace of their wrath.
"Reyengel" cried Rein.in the face.
" Revenge upon all the race
OF the White Chief with yellow hairl"
And the mountains dark and high
From their crags re echoed the cry
or his anger and despair.
In the meadow. spreading wide
By woodland and river side,
The Indian village stood;
All was silent as a dream,
Save the rushing of the stream
And the Blue jay in the wood.
In his wal paint and his heads.
Like a bison among the reeds.
In ambush the Sitting Bull
Lay with three thousand braves
CroucheG in the clefts and caves,
Savage, unmerciGul!
In the fatal snare
The White Chief with yellow hair
And his three hundred men
Dashed headlong, sword in nand
But of that gallant band
Not n returned again,
The sudden darkness of death
Overwhelmed them like the breath
And smoke of a furnace Gre;
BY the rivers hank and between
The rocks of the r%avine,
They lay IN their bloody attire.
But the foeman fed in Inc night,
And R%ain.in-the fsce, in his flight,
UpllIted high in air
AS a CHASTITY trophy bore
The brave heart that bea' no more,
OF the White Chief with yellow hair
Whose was the right ald wrongH
Sing il, o funeral song.
With a voice that is full of tears,
And say that our broken faith
Wrought all The hin and seattle
In the Year of a Hundred Years.
