tons of inStru-
m0ntS,

In our first experience as Financial Manager of
the Mt. Carroll Seminary, it devOlved upon Us to
purchase Pianos for use of the School, in which
transaction we became cOgnizant ofthe swindle,
1--WE cannot call it by a milder name), practiced
upon the public in the sale of instruments. We at
once resolved to correct the wrong, so far as in
our power, and at the same time subserve our
own interest i'll encouraging the study ofmusic,
by making 1t comparatively easy for our pupils
and patrons to secure instruments. To this end.
we offered to furnish Pianos, etc, to our music
pupils at "CosT, to us. Thus began 4 trade that
has become so extensive as to embrace all classes
rs our customers. extending as it does from New
Hampshire to California and even to Japan.
With the amount o fsales made, our facilities
have increased till we any make in the
country, and the very lowest trade prices. We do
not now sell at "cost,n but we sell at wholesale
prices to any and all persons ever in any way con-
nected with the school, and this gives great lar
gains to purchasers, leaving a re sonable margin
of profits to us. To those newer patrons of this in
s~titution, we can give discounts from manufac-
turers' lists of 80 to so per cent. Instruments are
all sent directly from the mandatory, hence
customers can be supplied with equal facility,
East, West, North orSouth. Warrantees of five
years given on every instrument.

The Great Electric Light.

w. W. Cole, the well known Snowman,
has introduced this wonderful invention
to the public and now uses it to illumin-
ate the vast tents of his famous show,
and it will be on exhibition both after
noon and evening during the %sojourn of
his mamoth circus and m~enagerie in Ea-
ton on Saturday October, 4th. This mar
velous invention bids fair to eventually
supersede all other modes of illumination
and the fact that it is to be presented to
the public view in a thorough and practi-
cal manner, will prove gratifying to the
thousands of visitors who daily witness
his great show. A thirty horsepower
engine is required to furnish the electric
current and eve huge chambers are
used which produce a luminous luxuriant
light in comparison with which all other
illuminations are but gloomy and shame
full shadows, while this wondrous agency
difuses a halo of light more than an equal
to 10000 gas jets, and under its sunlike
rays every object becomes as distinct as
though it were midday. Aside from this
phenomenal feature, Mr.. Cole promises
more new and novel attractions than any
three shows that travel. There are those
mighty giants, Capt, Bates and wife,
who reach the enormous height of eight
feet, a troupe Of six trick stations, which
have been educated to a wonderful de-
gree OF excellence, a den of ferocious per-
forming lions and tigers, and rare wild
animals from nearly every zone on the
face of the wide world, while the press
throughout the land pronounce his circus
the best one in existence. Over a mil
lion dollars. are invested and all its beau
ties are made doubly beautiful by the
great electric light.

Tho recent temperance of yellow fever 10
the city of Memphis has induced several Of
the other cities of the Southwest to establish
quarantine regulations by which passengers and
freight from tho sillictcd city arc prohibited
from entering their limits. This at first sccrns
right hard on tho Msnpbians, who, if the
Foourec is to become epidemic there, ard SINH
lac regulations become general, will be peut up
10 their pest ridden city, and BIO compelled to
furnish, with their own bodies, the material
upon which tho disease shall feed uuil tho
supply shall beclmo exhausted aud the plagIe
die of inaritiop. And yet tho regulations
referred to spring from tho first law Of
nature, sclf:prese,vatiou, and possess all tho
uslic, AID authority Of suoh law, supplemented
by suoh additional strength as may DO derived
from the equally matcrialist;c principle that the
few must suffer for tho good Of tho many. On
the other hand, however, it may be said that
there is 90 surer or speedisr method Of Dipling
tho disease 10 the bud, and OF effeclualIy kilog
it, than by dcpri7iog it Of the food upon which
il subsiss, and that therefore, 80 far from hin
deripg the exodus from the unfortunate city. it
should DO depopulated as rapidly as possible,
and az this il the more humane course it should
be pursued. especially now before tho discas,
has become epidemic, aud wbco the danger of
spreading j. is at its minimum; tu! even now
tho refugees shopld geek tho country instead
of towns and cities for their abiding places.
