UPRIGHT PLANO.

The New Upright Pianos manufactured by
this firm are instruments that really stand without
rival. They are the result of totally novel i'm
provement invented by the firm, whereby all the
finest points of the celebrated Grand Pianos re-
produced. The worst enemy of the piano is damp
ness Numerous devices have been employed to
counterfeit its banefu effects. with but little success
1t has been the good fortune of this firm, after
long experiment, to solve this enigma by substitu-
ting metal for wood in all parts of the action
tanning centres. This il one of the greatest
improvements in pianos made i'm this CEN
tury. The new patent Uprisbt Action of the
Chickeriug pianos is the only piano action
made in the world that il im-ensibIe to at
mospheric change. From its convenient shape
and the beauty and permanence of its tone, this
piano will undoubtedly soon become the most popu-
lar instrument in the United States.

THE brightest idea we can have of heaven

No woman need despair of fortune so long

THE way to Hymen's temple is over the

"How many persons marry second time to
revenge themselves for what they have suf-

'One of the greatest faults in woman is her
cowardice. She is so cowardly that she cannot
or will not appreciate courage in her sisters.
This she calls indecency and so discourages
the brave of her sex from showing any brave

Women are born tyrants and the most un-
endurable of tyrants from their weakness.
They are base sycophants, likewise They bite
the hand that is lifted to succor them, and kiss
the doubled fist which has struck them down."
Many women would be totally depraved if
they possessed the force to be.''
"No woman is a heroine unless she have her
hero by her side; and then her heroism is
pale reflex Of her heros virtues.'
The reason a woman is always hopeful is
because, never understanding herself, she nev-

her to absolute despair"

The deepest possible gloom prevails here
over the death of the President. The city
is being draped in mourning. A mass
meeting will be held here tomorrow morn

semaciated hand in her own, and watching
with anguish unutterable the fast vanishing

their powerlessness in the presence of the
dark angel of death. Toward the last the

WASHINGTON, September 2O-Thea !
President died at 1890 o'clock lastf
night. The announcement of hisf
death came with a shock, as the
public, encouraged by the favorable s
tenor of the dispatches receivedE s
during the evening, were unpreparedE D
for such news The excitement of
the day had died out and the people1
were disposed to believe that the J
President would overcome the pend-s !

succeeding ones. Many whol

The tolling bells summoned the,
sleeper from his bed aed the mourn
full musical solemn tones breaking
the silence of midnight penetrated
to the cell of the assassin like sum
mons to judgment. Previous to his
death the only words spoken by the
President were that he had a severe
pam IN his heart. 1t is supposed by
the surgeons that death was occas !
loned by clot of blood forming on
the heart. DR.. Bliss was the first
one notified of the Presidents ex-
preston of pain, and upon enter
ing the room he at once
said the end was near. The members
of the family were Immediately
summoned to the bedside. All
arrived, and perfect quiet prevailed.
Mrs. Garfield bore the trying ordeal
with great foftitude, and exhibited
unprecedented courage. She gave
way to no paroxims of grief, and after
death became evident she quietly
withdrew to her own room. There
she sat a heart broken widow, full of
grlef, but with too much Christian
courage to exhibit it to those around
her. She, Of course, was laboring
under a terrible strain, and tears
flowed from her eyes, and her lips
became drawn by her noble attempt
