From the HriRg Literary Gdzett,
THE HILLS OF CARROLL.

But where to find that haFpicst spot below
Who can direct when all pretend to know
The shuddcring tenant of the frigid zone
Boldly proclaims that happieSt spot his own.
ExtolS the treasures OF his stormy seas.
And his long nights of rcvelry and ease;
The naked negro. painting at the line.
Boasts of his golden sands and palmy wine.
Basks in the glare. or stems the tepid wave.
And thanks his Gods for all the good they gave
such is the patriots boast. wherecr we roam
His first best country ever is az home
And vet peTha pS. II countries we compare.
And estimate the blessings which they share
Though patriots fistier. still shall wisdom find
An equal portion dealt 10 all mankind;
A. different good, by art OF nature given,
To different nations makes their blessings even

Piano, Church and Pdrior Or
gan Wdrer0OmS-Prof. Harry
Sdnders-TheC Celebrated Estey
Organ.
This firm Sanders Il Stayman, No. 10 n.
Charles street. is so well and favorably known
in Baltimore and throughout this section. that
we can hardly add to its fame. Yet We de-
sire to testify to is work, and the valuable
influence it has exerted on the musical world,
in educating the public taste and elevating
the standard, especially of church and Sun
day school music. The firm is agent for the
Weber piano, which is used by the most emf
nent pianists and singers at their concerts.
Among these are Carey, Gerster, Kellogg,
Nilsson, Luccs, Thursby, Patti, Bristow,
Mills, Maretzek, Briguoli and others, who
have given it their highest commentator.
The firm also have the Fischer plane, per-
feet instrument, handsomely finished, and at
unusually moderate prices. This piano is
the successor of Nuns 4 Clarks, at one time
the most popular piano in the country.l
Prof Harry Sanders is a thoroughly edu-
Gated and trained musician, and has made
sacred music a special study. His experience
as al Organist being at this time organist of
the Central Presbyterian Church of this city,,
has made him an authority, not only in COM
position, and rendering of music, but as to
the character of instruments. The instru-
ments which the firm keeps and sells are con-
seqaently reliable and only such as can he
fully guaranteed.
The Estey Organ has long since demonstra-
ted its superiority. 1t is known all over the
world, and has become the necessary accom-.
paniment of Christian song throughout Chris
tendon. These organs are made in all grades,
from small four octave up to the great two
manual pedal base-thus affording infinite va
riety to suit all tastes. The workmanship,
beauty of tone, vast variety of expression can
not be improved; and the prices are within
the reach of all.-BdltimOe Paper.

INTERESTING To GAMERS. The Baltimore
Sun says that canned goods are likely to en-
counter serious trouble in getting into Fra nee.
The French director-general Of customs has
instructed the different chambers of coS-
merce throughout that country that the con
sulting commission of puohc hygiene decides
that there are serious objections, on the
ground of public health, TO permitting the
sale Of food products in tin cans which are
soldered on the inside with lead alloy. Di
rectjous have been accordingly issued pro-
hibiting the sale in France of food in cans
having the fault noted after August /, 1891.
The French government apparently has joined
the general European raid upon American
cheap-food products. Probably we can stand
the war-if the people in Europe can do so.
Belgium, with 5000, 900 inhabitants. has a
Jewish population of 4, 600. Among the Jews
in the public service there are three chief
clerks to Ministries, one director of the Roy,
al Carpet Mandatory, one Court of Appeal
Judge, two Crown Prosecutors, one Judge of
Instruction. six barristers, three Mayors, nine
captains, and four professors of universities.
This is a large number of positions of distinc-
ton in proportion TO their numbers, but
no complaints are made against them on that
account or for any other reason. Their right
to attain such distinction as they may be qualif-
ed for it is conceded. The anti-Jewsh move
ment in Germany meets with no favor in
Belgium, and it does not diminish the dislike
with which Belgium regards the German en-
