One of the most ingenious inventions OF the
day is Mason's Music Charts, by the use OF
which any one, even a child, can learn to play
on piano or organ, in tolerable style, in one day,
and no previous knowledge of music is neces-
sary. 1t is being introduced in the South by
A. c. Morton, of Atlanta Read his advertise
ment in our paper, and if you doubt t he claims

The B. &. o. Railroad has sustained serious
losses in the vicinity of Harper's Ferry. Four
bridges have been washed away and about two
miles of the track. A telegram received here
Sunday evening from Superintendent Averill
said that the water, at eleven o'clock Sunday
morning, was running over the big bridge at
Harper's Ferry, and that he thought it would
take weeks to fully repair the damage which
had been done. 1t was rumored that the Big
bridge at Harper's Ferry had also been swept
away, but this lacks confirmation. The dam
age to the town of Harper's Ferry must be
very great.

The exercises lasted an hour and three-quarters,

a review of the Senator'S political life and crit
