From the Hon. G. r. Gather, publisher
"Southern Egis," Ashville, Ala.
"We have received from the manufactn-
rer, Daniel +. Beatty, one of his square
pianos. 1t is a thing of beauty, but not
more exquisite to the eye is the finish Of
it's workmanship, than charming to the ear
is the sweetness Of it's melody. The piano
combines the highest excellence, to which
all first class manufacturers of musical in
struments aim. To all who wish to in
vest in q first-class piano we have no hes
itency in advising them to send the money
directly to Mr.. Beatty. We speak from
actuel experiment, and it is with pleasure
We gave this evidence Of the reliability of
MI. Beatty and his instrumental.
Best offer ever given. Money refunded
upon return of Piano and freight charges
paid by me, Daniel F. Beatty, both ways
if unsatisfactory, after test trial Of five
days. Pianos warranted for six years.

Grant released all the Barabbascs

order his coniederates to make fair

The "CoUSrED IN"IS A HURRY.-
The Philadelphia Times, OF Monday
morning, says;
"Presi,lent Hayes took the oath oi
the Presidential office at the White
House on SATURDAY. evening, while en-
loying the last Of Grants State dinners.
As the Chief Justice was ut hand, the
the little ceremony was Disposed Of
without extra trouble, aud ~ Hayes
seemed to be most uneasy about hi-
more than distruslel title, he was dc
termined TO take time by the ioielock
and swear in about as irrcgnlarly as he
was counted IN. As there was no
vacancy IN the Presidential Office at
the time Hayes took the oath. it will
doubtless be repeated to-day, when the
formal Inauguration takes place. Some
captiOus fellows may incline to carp
about Hayes swearing in so pronis-
cuously but Why not? Although lot
elected President, he had reasonable
prospect OF getting into the place, aud
II was well to assume tho solemn OBJ
legations OF tho Presidency and get the
hang OF its dignity little in advance.
As no man is safe against election to
the Chief Magistracy of the nation in
these days OF patent election figures,
patent return boards and electoral
commissions, and us one day is us II
score or more OF years in qualifying for
the office before inauguration day, we
sea no reason why every male citizen
of the United States may not qualify
himself as President before the most
convenient Justice Of the Peace. II
may not be useful, but then II will be
just 80 much toward the ornamental" "
