The demand for staple aud fancy dry goods Is

large proportions, and values remain as firm as
before. Groceries met with good seasonable

steady CofYees and sugars did not display
much strength, the former especially be-

pig-iron market was demoralized. There was
next to no demand, and prices we're SO unsettled

The lumber market WIS moderately active ut

were again small, but are expected to be sufh-

Wool was quiet and unchanged. Seeds were

fruits were selling to the city trade rather free

A New Musical Instrument.
London Globe.

A novelty in organ-grinding may not
strike many persons as a very attractive
subject, or one that can very well ex-
cite satisfactory anticipations. A little
instrument has, however, lately made
its appearance in the streets of London
which may, perhaps, be thought worthy
of passing notice. A specimen exam.
ined few days ago was small wind
instrument, mounted on perambulator
in the street, which had cost, the propri-
etor affirmed, f3 los. 1t had fourteen
notes, and was played by turning a
handle, after the manner of an ordinary
barrel-organ. The popularity of the in
strument consisted in the manner In
which the wind of the bellows was ad-
mitted to the reeds. The turning of the
handle worked the bellows, and at the
same time slowly wound through the
instrument strip of stout paper about
six feet long, and perforated with a
number Of holes. 1t was through these
perforated holes that the wind found its
way to the reeds, which were thus oper-
ated upon according to the position and
dimensions of the apertures. 1t is oh
vious that with sufficient number of
iVcuo anu properly ptlloTattu slflp Ol
paper music of any kind whatever may
be performed on such a contrivance by
anybody who can turn a handle. The
operator on the instrument alluded to
had seventy-two feet Of paper, which
cost him, he said, from 2d a foot, ac-
cording to the nature of the music. HIS
seventy-two feet afforded twelve tunes
and when he had ground them suff-
ciently he could get twelve more simple
harmonies for l2s, his machine serving
for ever so great a variety Of them. OF
course it is but mechanical music after
all, and no musician will say much for
the kind of thing. Every musician,
however, will admit that if the greater
part of domestic music were played with
mechanical precision it would be an in
finite improvement on present perform
ances, and those who are interested in
domestic music may possibly find in
this little novelty valuable auxiliary.
1t looks as though it may afford a cheap
and simple mears of supplying just that
aid to vocal music which
in few households is well. and in many
very badly, gwen by the piano or har-
monlum.

FOR THE LADIES.

JUsT now it is at the left side of the
ne * that the bouquet is fixed.
THE fashion of wearing flowers, either
natural or artificial, never goes out of
date.
MANY very charming bows for the
neck are arranged with painted muslin
mixed with lace.
THE most fashionable pardsols are Of
surah silk or satin, in any color pre-
ferred, or black or white and hand
painted.
SQuARE bows of gros grain ribbon,
made Of three loops and one notched
end, drape the sides of taileta silk over
skirts.
A BOA of orange blossoms encircling
the neck and extending to the left side
of the belt is new ornament for
bride costume.
ENGLISH shopkeepers try to sell those
long, ugly mitts which have the en-
broidery passing around the arm by cali
ing them Queen Anne"
THREE ooRSERRD pieces of India null
dotted with tiny specks Of black, blue or
red, are worn in Kerchief shape close
around the neck. They have a wide
hem.
GREEK bands are worn in the hair,
Grec,an aprons are fashionable, and the
Grecian style OF hair-dressng is
adopted by the very few to whom it is
becoming.
STRAW lace is used TO border curtains
in England. II is wicked to waste any
thing, but it would seem more sensible
to throw straw lace into the fire than to
employ 1t for any such purpose.
CsLoRED stockings are much worn,
both plain and with small patterns or
embroidered corners near the ankle.
Silk stockings for the evening are some
times embroidered with pearls.
THE most fashionable colors in mill
linary are straw color. bran color. all the
tussore shades, seal brown, uBarrie
rose, white, almond, biscuit, violet,
he 'iotrope, the cashmere shades and
red.

A Demnition of Space,

The Rev. II. l.. Gear gives. in an arti.
Gle entitled 'The Concept of Space"
published in the Cincinnati Baptia Re.
rer, the following definition of SPACE:
Space is real, objective, immaterial,
extended. continuous, infinite, immuta-
Bile, external and absolute whole OF
capacity to receive extended substance,
existing in true extension of infinite
length, infinite breadth and infinite
depth, which is ideally divisible in each
dimension: into finite wholes of locality,
Of all possible forms and sizes, possess
eng the relations of similarity. differ
ince, ratio, direction, distance, contigui-
ty, and conjunctibility; and comprising
units of trine extension, surfaces. lines,
and points, each of which is infinitely
diyisible; trine extension into surfaces,
surface into lines, lines into points, and
points into iniinitesmal fractions OF
position, which compose the intinitude
of space, in number which is formed
by the inyolution Of relatively infinite
to the seventh power"
