FROM THE Y. MUSICAL COURIER.

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 il the whole trade which
might be done in the past three years in that
section was about to be transacted during the
coming months"

In which the Savannah. Florida
and Western Railway is In"
fereesed.

There has been since the returns made By
the Savannah, Florida and Western Rail-
way Company to the Comptroller for the
year 1881, difference of opinion between
the managers of that road and Comptroller
General Wright.
The managers Of the road made a return
OF the value of the property Of the road
under the act Of 1874, requiring railroads to
make a return to the Comptroller General
for taxation. The return made by the
company was as follows:

Total. 8, $3.50, 6s3 "a
Comptroller General Wright was not salts
fed with this return, and proceeded, as re-
ouired by law, to assess the road what he
thought was proper under the circum-
stances. He made his assessment on the
at three million eight hundred and thirty
seven thousand dollars. The Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway was not
pleased with this assessment, and asked to
have the matter arbitrated as the law re-
auired. The Comptroller General complied
with this request, and designated Captain
Tyler NJ. Peoples. OF the county of GWin-
nett, as the arbitrator selected by the
State The road selected Hon. John
Screven, of Savannah; and on last Tuesday
these two arbitrator met in Savannah to
determine the difference between the Comp
troiler General and the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway. AS it vas probable
that points of difference would arise be-
tween the arbltrators, they agreed to select
an umpire, also permitted by the act OF 1874.
They selected Hon. Josiah L. Warren, OF the
county OF Chatham, as umpire, and pro-
ceded soon after his election to investigate
the question at issue between the Comp
troller General and the road. On Thursday
last they agreed on the following as their
assessment:

A Specimen Railroad Exact;on,

We hare in this city on a small se1le
an excellent specimen OF one Of the
methods by which the railroad corPo-
rations fleece the public. The two
railroad companies that In the last few
years have constructed elevated rail-
roads through our streets, leased them
some time back TO 5 bogus corporation
under the name OF the Manhattan CON-
pary. whereupon the stock was swat
ered'' 70 the amount of some thir-
teen million dollars. The Manhattan
being unable to fulfill its contract with
the original companies, Receiver was
appointed about nine weeks ago. and
now the President of the Company
and the Receiver declare the roads can
not be made to pay expenses 1.-THE
present rates of fare. It Is therefore
proposed to raise the rates, thus taxing
the people of this city to pay interest
on some thirteen million dollars of mere
paper capital In other words, New
Workers are asked to overlook. first, the
coniscation of private property or the
injury TO it rendered necessary by the
construction of the roads: second, the
extraTagant cost Of the roads and rum
ming stock, owing to the manipulation
Of a construction company" and other
gambling devices; and third, the enor-
nous addition of water to the already
shamefGlly inflated stock.-Neac York

put TO it Of the same Old Potomac free
stone, Mr.. Corkhin began By opening a
large safe and producing pistol with
q white bone handle, n very thick,
scuarish assenll3iage OF metal at the re-
volving part, and short barrel. with
4 sight at the end OF It The whole
thing was about five and half inches
long, by nearly four inches from the
end Of the handle TO the top Of the
trigger, but rather q clumsy pistol,
made of common materials by some
English Or American manufacturer with
some knowledge OF its chief market.
To boor or 4 town rowdy this pistol
would seem very handsome thing.
An expert IN reyolvers would notice
the coarse finish upon it and The large
ness Of the parts Pushe in beneath
the pistol was a sort Of hoop Of metal
inclosing the trigger On top of tie
barrel was 8 string Of letters beneath
which issued the terrible ball, saying
English bulldog" Nowhere around
the pistol could any mark 30 found in

omission took 10 mean that it was one
OF those cheap and not very sure or
safe reyOlveTs intended TO be sold by

good. big profit by ret2iling il 81 SO.

All About Fences

One of the heaviest burdens which
the farmer has to bear Is that OF nain-
tanning fences to guard the growing
crops against the live stock, or. in ether
words, TO protect himself against him.
SELF The subject has occupied the at
tention Of agricultural societies and
journals and the public press for many
years, but not until the present census
was taken has there been reliable data
on which TO base calculation IS to its
bearing upon the general agricultural
interest and its indirect influence upon
commerce, for upon the cheapness of
the farm production depends the
amount of their exports. The sebe-
dulles OF the census now in process of
compilation embrace intevrogatories
respecting the cost of maintaining and
repairing fences in the year 1879. The
returns are all in, but thus far eleven
States have been tabnlated. The cost
of maintaining and repairing fences
in these States show the following re-

Cheap Service.
