Retrenchment and Reform.

Retrenchment and reform are the
watchwords in the Nebraska Legisla-
ture. The Omaha Bee thus illustrates
the prevailing spirit: SIN one of the
committee rooms six gas-jets were burn
ing. Says Mr.. Creighton to the at
tendant: Bring in lamp and put out
that gas. The State can't stand this
expense The order was obeyed. Says
Van Wyck: Here, bring in candle
this lamp is too expensive; the State
can't stand it, Creighton, who was
bound to be ahead in the matter of re-
form and economy, saw Van Wyck
and 'went him one BETTER Looking
out of the window, he said: BLOW out
that candle. The moon is bright enough
for usl' Van Wyck caved."

Legislative Christening.

A bill was before the House yesterday
bestowing a name dP6h a citizen of
Fauquier County. The beneficiary of
this act, it seems, was left an orphan
when an infant, and the names of his
parents were not known to him, and to
this day he does not know them. When
he became old enough to feel what an
awkward position he was placed in
without a name, he assumed one, by
which he has been known ever since.
He was sent to school, and in time be-
came an intelligent and honorable citi-
zen of the community in which he lives.
A short time ago he met a beautiful
young lady, with whom he became en-
amored, and paid her his addresses.
She accepted his love, and the only bar
to their marriage was that he did not
have name. Certainly novel diem
ma to be placed in, particularly as the
young lady insisted that he must have
one before she would wed him. The
almost bridegroom apphed to legal
friends for assistance, who examined
the law upon the subject with view
of seeking relief from the courts, but,
upon an investigation, it was manifest
that the courts could change mans
name, but had no power to christen
him or bestow name where none had
before existed. The only way out of
the difficulty was to apply to the Legis-
lature, and ask for the passage of bill
giving this petitioner name, which
was according done, and, as soon as the
bill passes the Senate and becomes a
law, there will then, we hope, be moth
ing to prevent the realization of our
friends happiness.-Richmond (Va.)

IT is said that diamonds have lately
declined in market value. The de-
cline is attributed to the large numbers
recently found in Brazil and in the
South African diamond fields. A
Paris jeweler says that the trade in
diamonds is, after all, very limited,
owing to the very few who wear them;
and that they keep passing in rotation
from hand to hand. OF fifty persons
who buy diamonds, forty purchase to
sell again, six buy to give away, and
four only actually keep and wear the
gems. They pass, he asserts, from the
hair of the fine lady to the neck of the
bellies of the demi-monde, and vice
vesa.

illustrates the Piano War by a Dog
story, and Gives tho Bottom Facts.
Last week at the Tombs court, New
York city, before Judge Duffy, two claim
ants appeared for and with handsome
Newfoundland dog. AS neither had any
corroborative evidence, the astutc judge
decided that the instinct Of the dog himself
would be the surest test of ownership. A
policeman was ordered to hold the dog in
the center of the court room, while one
claimant was placed on one side of the
room, the other on the opposite side. Both
were ordered to whistle for the dog at q
signal from the judge, the dog to be re-
leased at the same time, and choose between
the claimants.
The judge called time each claimant
whistled to the best of his ability. Police
man let go the dog but the dog, after
looking at the judge and surveying the
scene, escaped through the door, and
sought elsewhere it's rightful owner.
A similar scene has been enacted for the
past two weeks among the piano men. A
couple Of piano-forte manufacturers-both
honorable men-heve been whistling their
respective centennial awards through the
public press, with about as much success
as the claimants had with the dog.
The prize belongs elsewhere.
Stripped, then, of all verbiage, subter-
fuge, Grimm alton and recrimination, law
suits, and all side issues simply intended to
befog the public. the naked facts as to the
centennial awards are just these
Most of the leading manufacturers re-
ceived nearly the same recognition in re-
gard to workmanship. Durability the
commission could only guess at. The
only real distinction was made by the iury
as to the TONE of the pianos exhibited.

TONE.
Thus, then, the Baltomore house is given
an award for general excellence in the
requisites of first-class instrument in
power OF tone," to which the commission
added singing quality.
The New York house for ''largest vol
ume, purity and duration of tone"
Whereas to WEBER is awarded "sympa-
thetic, pure, and rich tone, combined with
greatest power"
Comment as to which is the highest
award would be an insult to the intelligent
musical public.
Let them be the judges as to who is the
rightful owner of the centennial prize.
Suffice 1t to say that the Weber award
contains all that 10 possible in piano-forte
