JUBILEE ORGANS.

There are makers who seek to
earn and fix reputation for first
class which shall be, for all time.
Among these may be noted the
Mendelssohn Piano Company, man.
ufacturers OF the popular Jubilee
Organs which are rapidly becoming
known, and which do not fail TO
hold every inch of ground they
once occupy.
So thorough is the inspection Of
the various parts, and of the whole,
that when an instrument goes out
of the house, a guarantee for five
years--long enough to break down
and wear out two common organs
lis given the purchaser. The
Jubilee Organ is eminently an or.
gan for the people.--Louisvl!le Ky.
Commercial.
Having had occasion to purchase
organs Of this company for our own
personal friends, and having found
them 20 be all that was claimed for
them after years Of thorough trial,
and having repeatedly visited their
factory in New York city, we are
prepared to assert, from our own
knowledge Of the manufacturers
The Ripley advertiser. [volume] (Ripley, Miss.) 1843-1897, 1881-10-08

and their organs, that their work is
not exCelled by any manufacture
now in the market.
In short, the Mendelssohn Piano
Company's instruments are emi-
nently the peoples organs, and are
worthy Of the enviable reputation
they SO certainly ENJOY. We cor
daily recommend them to the
confidence and patronage of the
public; we advise them to commu-
nicate with the Company, at its
headquarters in New York, and
look over their circular and price
list.--The Independent.

THE WILLIAM GOAT.
Mary had a William goat,

Mary had William goat,
And he was black as jet;
He followed Mary round all day
And liked her! you just bet.
Hswsnt withber school one day,
The teacher kicked him out;
Itmade the children grin you know,
To have the goat about.
But though old Whackem kicked
him out.
Yet still he fingered near;
He waited just outside the door,
Till Whackem did appear.
Then William ran to meet the man,
lie ran bis level best;
And met him inst behind you know,
Down just below the vest.
Old Whackem turned a somersault;
The goat stood on his head,
And Mary laughed herself so sick
She had to go to bed. !

So far as we are able to learn no
new developements respecting the
assassination of Gen. Tucker have
been made, and the affair is as
much mystery now as it was the
day of the funeral. Every theory
we have been able to build points
to Houston Parish as the perpetra-
tor of the foul deed, but the evi-
dence that we have heard detailed
is not sufficient to convict. The
grand jury, we suppose, is investi-
eating the crime rs thoroughly as
possible, and may have gathered
facts which are not in possession OF
the public, that would remove all
doubt from the minds of a fair and
impartial body of men" but if this
be so, of course we know nothing
about it, for the gentlemen com,
posing the jury keep their own
councils. We sincerely hope that
the principal actor in the dastardly
work, and all his aiders and abettors
may be ferre:ed out and their fiend.
ish crime punished as it deserves.
