The Largest Musical Box In the World

The following very interesting de-

an Anglo American paper. printed In

for the Khedive Of Egypt certainly the

beautiful ebony case was buiiet.shaped,
NJ large a. n full. sized sideboard, and
inlaid with zinc aud brus-work and
oruamentcd with bronze chasings aud
plates. The interior OF this remarkable
box is a marvel Of mechanical ingenuity.
II includes all the latest Improvements
for selecting tunes, a patent moderator,
etc, aud is finished with flute, flute
basso. drum.bells and c~astanets. The
repertoire consists Of one hundred and
thirty.two tunes, supplied by eleven
cylinders (Which can. be exchanged al
plsasurc), each OF them being six inches
In diameter and twonty.six inc % in
length. Notwithstanding Its Brobdie-
nngian dimensions, this instrument.
like others Of its kind, performs auto
~matically. When the Khedive desires
to treat himself TO a concert. he needs
only TO touch n spring, and II His

istics are peculiarly apparent. He takes
no credit to himself for tho successful
ending Of the late war. but attributes II
to . happy combination OF favorable
circumstances which came to the aid Of
his military genius. He says that Sher'
man. or Sheridan, and many Others

he did. had they been placed In com.

A Campaign Slander.

When DR.. r. Y. Pierce was candidate for

cd pretended analysis of his popular mcdi.
clnes, hoping thereby to prejudice the people
against him. His election by all ovcrwhelm-

who sought to impeach his business INTEGRITY
No notice would have been taken of these

fishing these bogus analyses. Numerous and
most absurd formulas have been published.

"Girlcd Up"

The Springfield Republican suggests a
now colloQuial expression for the next cd
ition Of Webster's dictionary. It was in.
vented by an anxious father on the &C.
casion Of an interview with the principal
of one of the Hampden County academies,
where the co-education of boys and girls
still prevails. The boy in the case had
formerly been studious and promising, land
tor several months had gradually fallen
OFT from his previous standard, growing
so careless and aEscholarly that it became
serious question whether he would be
able to pass his college entrance ex.
animation. It was coincidence that
he had meanwhile become conspicuous
as ladies' man. The principal having
alluded to this as prominent cause Of
the boys decentralization, eyes" broke
in the father, II know 1t; he's got all CIR
led up Which the Republican thinks
is remarkably happy and pregnant
phrase: If there is any thing that plays
the mischief with the boys and girls
during that budding, downy and velvety
period of their teens, when they ought
to be laying solid and permanent cd
ucatoRal foundations, it is this prema-
ture etflorescence OF the scxua, criod
which moves boys and girls, who ought
to be kept down to study, to perk and
and prim, and play with each others eyes,
and write silly and badly-spellcd notes
to each other, and eat slate pencils in
private. But then it rarely lasts long; il
is less harmful than tobacco or whiskev
and there is no law "agin" youths of tina
age making fools of themselves.
