FROM THE N Y. MUSICAL COURIER.

1.-THE Southern trade in pianos is reported to
be unusually good so far this year, and the
prospects are that rushing business will be
transacted in the South during the fall. The
absence of contagious diseases this year has
given an impetus to a great many lines Of
business, particularly the one here referred to,
and it now seems as if the whole trade which
might be done in the past three years in that
section was about to be transacted during the
coming months

The bonanza King.

a citizen of San Francisco, who had
amassed wealth by fortunate invest.
ment in mining interests, determined
to cultivate the fine arts. He sent tc
Florence for copy OF the Venus oil
Milo in marble. In the course of time
the commission was accomplished and
the marble goddess, protected by wrap
pings and securely boxed safely crossed
the ocean and was transported across
the continent to the residence of the
owner. The box was unpacked and the
goddess, in her celestial beauty, was
revealed to his eager gaze. His con-
sternation may be imagined when he
beheld his costly treasure unveiled, but
without arms! How could such an ac-
cident happen, and what had become OF
the missing members, for not vestige
of broken marble rewarded his anxious
search? His indignation and disap.
pointment were unbounded in behold
ing q woman without arms where he
had expected a masterpiece OF art.
All the money in the world in itself
will not give culture and taste. The
bonanza king had never heard the story
of the famous Venus of Milo. He did
not know what almost all intelligent
young people could tell him, that this
masterpiece of sculpture was dug up
in the island of Milo just as it now
stands in the Museum of the Louvre in
Paris. Fruitlsss search has been made
for the missing arms. and connoisseurs
in art would give its weight in gold a
hundred times over if they could be
found.
The statue, in which the rich miner
saw nothing but imperfection, has
drawn forth the admiration of lovers of
art ever since modern eyes have looked
upon it. Few are the visitors in Paris
who fail to spend hours before the mar
BILE shrine where the Venus of Milo
stands enthroned, in wrapt appreciation
of its almost celestial beauty, and few
are the intelligent persons in the civil
lied world who in marble, bronze,
engraving or photograph are not famil-
lar with the perfect lineaments and the
faultless form of this embodiment Of
the genius of the past.
A bonanza mine is not to be de-
spised, but it fails alone to give to it's
possessor the resources for happiness
hidden in cultivated mind and refined
taste.

Fig-Gathering in Italy.

The fig Oh the shore of the Wediter-
ranean is ole OF tue greatest sources Of
food, and groves cIu,ter around houses
as orchards do witt. US. Where the
olive is found, the tig seems to grow be-
side it as favorite tree.
This tree is remarkable Gs having no
visible flower, the fruit appearing in the
form OF small buds on the branches Of
the tree. The tree will bear three times
in the year.
The history OF the fig is as ancient as
the world. 1t grew in Paradise, and its
leaves were used by our first parents as
covering. The spies sent by the Is
raelites into the land of Canaan, before
it came into their possession, brought
figs among other samples of the fruit
fulness Of the land. Figs were among
the first fruit offered in the temple.
Cakes OF figs formed part Ct the present
of the wife of the churlish Nabal to
David.
This tree yields pleasant shade, and
is referred to as an emblem of peace
and security. Under its shadows the
Jews often retired.
Travellers speak with pleasure of the
shelter they have found from the heat
Of the sun under this tree. coca.
sionally," says DIR. Keith and bis com.
panions, "we noticed a fig tree up
which vine had climbed, so that the
combined shade Of the vine and fig tree
migh here be enjoyed together. One
OF the camel drivers, pointing to clus'
ter OF six large fg trees, cried out:
Under the tig tree! and soon we felt
the pleasantness of this shade; for.there
is something peculiarly delightful in
tht shade of the tree. It is far supe-
rior to the shelter of tent, and perhaps
even to the shadow of rock; since not
only does the mass Of heavy foliage
completely exclude the rays of the sun,
but the travellers lind under it pecu-
liar GOODNESS arising from the air gently
creeping through the branches. Hence
the encouraging prophecy: In that
day saith the Lord OF Hosts, shall ye
call every man his neighbor under the
vine and under the fig tree. Reclining
under these six fig trees we enjoyed
short repose, the servants and camels
being all gathered around us under the
same grateful shade"
In Italy figs and peaches arc offered
together fresh gathered, and the dried
fg is laid up for winter supply. Not
being tender and delicate fruit, it is
largely gathered by the children.

Reliable Testimony.

Where testimonials give the residence OF
the parties it is an easy matter for any per-
son to verify them. Thousands OF people
from all parts of the Pacific Coast can and
have expressed the opinion that there is no
other article in the world equal to PHOS-
PHATE SOAP for common toilet use. A
great many people have tested this soap for
skin diseases. Among others we give the
following from parties who have thoroughly
tested PHOSPHATE SOAP:

about two years old that had suffered for a
year with severe eruption on the head and
face, caused by teething. The child was in
such misery that 1t would often be awakened
out of sleep by the severe itching. he
would then scratch his head and face until
the blood ran from the scabs. We tried
everything we could find, but nothing
we tried PHOSPHATE SOAP. Before we
had used one cake, the child's head and face
were entirely healed, and there has been no
appearance ofthe disease since.

water-bottle of one of the dead men
brought out of the Seaham pit, Michael
Smith, there was scratched, evidently
with nail, the following letter to his
wife: "Dear Margaret, there was 40 of
us altogether at 7 A. H., some were
singing hymns, but my thought was on
my little Michael. I thought that him
and I would meet in heaven at the same
time. Oh, dear wife, God save you
and the children, and pray for myself.
Dear wife, farewell. My last thoughts
are about you and the children. Be
sure and learn the children to pray for
me. Oh, what a terrible position we
are in.-Michael Smith, 81 Henry

to was his child whom he had left at
home i'll. The lad died on the day of
the explosion.

Senator Gibson has introduced in
the Legislature a bill to amend the
charter of the city of Alpena. Sen
ator Gibson's amendment bill con.
tains the amendment providing for
the city charter election to be held
on the first Monday in March in
stead of, as at present, on the first
Monday of April. If this amend
ment should become a law, it will pre-
vent a good many citizens, who are
obliged to be in the lumber woods
on the 1st of March, from voting,
and will confine the right Of voting
to those whose business keeps them
in the city, and, too, such change
would prove huge bill of expense
to the city, as it would every few
years necessitate two elections in the
spring,-one to vote for city officers,
and the other for State affairs
amendments to the constitution, re-
gents, judges, etc, and taking it as
whole, change of the time for hold
ing the charter election would be
decidedly injudicious.

Sad Accident.

We are panied to be called upon
to chronicle the particulars of a sad
accident that proved fatal, to one of
the farmers of this county, on Fri
day last. 1t seems that John
Gurnsey, whose farm is at the Cath
70 settlement, was engaged cutting
timber, not far from his home, and
as he was falling tree on Friday
last, the tree he was cutting fell
against another one, thus throwing
the butt from the stump and strik-
ing Gurnsey on the right leg below
the knee, literally crushing the limb
to a jelly. The accident was wit
messed by two of Mr.. Gurnsey's
children, and they at once ran home
for assistance. Meantime, Mr..
Gurnsey had arisen, and by the
aid of measuring stick, had sue
ceeded in hobbling something like
three hundred yards toward the
house, when his wife came to his as
sistance, and placing him on a log
boat, she started to convey her hus-
band home as soon as possible. Mrs,
Gurnsey had gone but a little dis
lance when assistance arrived, and
the unfortunate man was conveyed
to his residence, and u messenger
dispatched to town for medical aid.
Drs. Newton and Maiden went to
the relief of the sufferer, and it was
found necessary, if life could be
saved at all, of which the physi.
clans had but little hope, to ampu-
tate the limb above the knee. The
limb was amputated on Friday
night, but the sufferer never rallied
and indeed had sinking spells from
the time when he was first hurt, and
about seven o'clock Sunday morn
ing death relieved him from all fur
Their suffering. Those of our peo.
pie who were we'll acquainted with
Mr.. Gurnsey, are well aware of the
fact that he had for years suffered
from fever sore on his right leg,
and when it was known that this
limb was crushed, but very few en-
tertained any hopes Of his recovery
The deceased leaves a widow and o
large family of children. The neigh.
bors in the settlement took hold OF
, the matter, and did all in their pow
: er to assist Mrs. Gurnsey to hel
) present needs, and in matters per
| tanning to the funeral.
