Patents, almost innumerable have been
secured in this country and in Europe for
Improvements in musical mechanism.
But little is as yet known of this new in
vention. It is claimed for it that it is
the most valuable Improvement that has
the construction of the pianoforte. This
is said of it: 1t is known as Mathushek's
equilibre system, and was patented in
1879 by Mr.. Frederick Mathushek, probab-
ly the most gifted man who ever applied
his talents to the art of piano building.
His system is radically and entirely differ
ent from the old one used by all other
makers. This new system removes ali
causes whereby the ordinary pianos fail.
It prevents the sounding board from being
displaced, and admits the adoption of an
iron plate with four times the resisting
power of any plate ever introduced by
any piano-maker, without increasing its
weight. Each string controls bearing
of nearly fifteen degrees upon the sound
ing board, or (similar to violin) fifteen
times more than the ordinary piano. It
must be apparent that piano thus con-
structed must produce longer vibration,
which by actual demonstration is found to
be the case. Not only is this advantage
gained, the formerly unnatural strain
being completely withdrawn, a purer,
sweeter and inspiring sympathetic tone
takes the place of the ordinary noisy,
stringy tone, and bears in its intensity
very near approach to an organ. These
qualities cannot be disturbed by atmo-
spheric changes, and age tends to improve
them. The equilibre system can be
likened to an evenly balanced scale,
which, if barely touched by the fingers,
will oscillate up and down until the
natural force caused by the touch will
have exhausted itself, while placing a
weight upon one end of the scale, which
end will drop down and remain qniet
Such weight is found upon the ordin-
airy system, thus hemming its vibrations.
That perfection has been reached in the
production of the piano is not likely,
and hence this new improvement may
be well worth attention.

The London Spectator arraigns most
pointedly what it styles &c Protestant Dis
content and unfolds its ideas in most Wig
orous language thus: Professionalism,
properly SO called, though in many re-
spects a noble and spiritual and in every
respect most manful creed, is in essence
a fighting creed, and creed which can
hardly understand the overcoming of evil
by any power but that of fighting, creed
whose devotees. have never seriously con-
sidered or entered into the significance of
our Lords hint that there is much evil
which will never be overcome by fighting
it, and which may be overcome by ceas-
ing to resist it-by suddenly conceding to
its aggressive injustice even more of that
which you have a right to concede than
evil itself demands. But then Protestant
ism is not the religion of content, it is the
religion of discomfort, of noble discomfort,
of grand discomfort, of laborious 6iscon-
tent, but of discomfort all the same, dis
content with the physical obstacles to
progress, and discomfort most of all with
the moral failures and coilapses within.
la Carlyle's life and writings you see this
discomfort written out large, unassuaged
by any CLEAN of revelation, and reduced to
the naked rage of its primeval genius
Is it then true that Professionalism pro-
claims only the gospel of discomfort, that
as the Spectator AYERS, "content has not
been one of its favorite virtues?" The
Spectator says: "It (protestantism) has
produced the gospel OF progress, but not
the gospel of content The Spectator thus
admits away, and surrenders the essential
ground of its criticism. This is erlphati-
caIly an age of progress, and progress i'm
plies an antagonism to stagnation, to a
contented tolerance of evil and wrong
Fr'gress and hopeless, helpless content
cannot lie down together as inert factors.
Progress invites activity, reformation, a
correction of evils and disabilities, the
worlds advancement Improvement, in
right ideas, in wholesome, practical attain
ments, while content" in the sense used
by the Spectator, fellowships error, toler.
ates admitted evils, rolls back the tide OF
the worlds improvement, and would cause

disabilities; would eclipse the sun of sci
ence, clog all improvement in government
tai policies and social life, and plunge
the world into broad nightm are o. con
tented lnRction, and bring the minds Of
men into the superstition and feebiepess
begot of contented ignorance. It is the
glory of the present age, that progress Is
its genius, its impulse and propelline
power, the foe of contented imbecility
and non-sccomplishment

has much force, as the following facts
abundantiy prove. TIE Times Democrat
says: sThe population of this city is
216.000; of that number $4,000 are fe-
males and 900 males, the females hav-
ing full majority of $4,000 to start with.
There are $4,000 males 81 years of age and
over, and $4,000 males under 81. Of
youths from IL to 81 years of age there are
$4,000. Of the men 81 years old and over,
let US say, to be liberal, four-ffths or
$4,000 smoke; and of the boys or youths
over II, say 10000 smoke; that gives us g
grand total of ST. 900 smokers IN popula-
ton of 216,o00 or less than one-fourth."
This proportion of non-smokers to tie
smokers will probably hold good in all
cities. The Tlmes-Democrat adds that
''the ladies are imbued with the belief that
the best way to correct the evil is to stop
smoking in the cars altogether, and they
are going to carry on very lively and
vigorous crusade to effect reform in this
matter, which is q constant source of an
noyance to them, and which they think
they have borne quite long enough. They
allege that there are very many gentle
man who smoke who express themselves
as anxious to use the reform effected, and
as being quite willing to enjoy their cigars
where they can DO so without interfering
with ladies and the vast majority to whom
the Cdor of tobacco is offensive" One
street railway in New Orleans the "City
Railroad Company, in view of this ear
nest movement on the part of the ladies,
propose to do away with smoking On their
line of cars" and doubtless other COM
panies will soon follow the wholesome
example. The Times-Democrat with a
gellantry and boldness that does it great
credit says, ''we take sides with the ladies
in this matter" Cannot street railway
compauiss in Northern cities be induced
to follow this wholesome example set in
New Orleans, and abate nuisance every
where loudly and Justify cried out against
where street cars are in use?

SMOKING on street cars in the cities
where they are in use is a positive, un-
seemly, annoying and vulgar nuisance.
Many car has conspicuously printed
upon it in gilt letters, ''No smoking al
lowed" Is not this prohibition intended
to apply to the platform as well as to the
inside of the car? Yet, smokers habitually
indulge in the use of their cigars on the
platform in seemingly serene, unconscious
innocence. In cold weather, when the
doors are opened for exit, or entrance.
volumes of smoke are waited to the inside.
and IL warm weather when doors and
windows are open, the smoker might as
well be on the inside as on the platform
of the car, so far as the smoking influence
is concerned. Men are so used to smok-
ing, that they seek their own enjoyment.
IN utter disregard Of the convenience and
comfort of others. It would seem that
any gentleman, with a nice and proper
sense OF self respect, and a respect for the
rights and comfort of Others would never

lsssly and vigorously protesting against
it. Notably this is true at the present
tiFze in the city of New Orleans. The New

ing in street railway cars, have deter

asking the varioas street car companies to

a majority must submit to this inconveni-

DENYING Catholics in prison their pre-
ference for the rites and worship of their
church, cannot be justified, either by the
genius Of oar free institutions, by the
National or State constitutions, or by a
just regard for the rights of conscience.
which should everywhere in or out OF prison
be held inviolate. Religious faith may be
opposed by argument, but not by dogmat-
ic force. The Catholic Review thus Justly
presents the case: The Christian Union is
q paper that is Protestant in the last de-
gree. In late lumber it strongly az
proved of the Legislature opening prisons
SO that the influence of tbs Catholic priest
may be used in softening and instructing
Catholic prisoners. Speaking of the per-
secutiOn practised by the Manager of the
House of Refuge. it uses these strong and
significant words: ave recognize that
denying the Mas to the inmates of prisons
and poor-houses is denying them, when
Roman Catholics, the right to worship God

conscience and the guidance of their own

to no man, forever, within its Jurisdiction.
The opinion of Protestant journal, which
We quoted in the preceding paragraph, is
what every honest man, not blinded by
prejudice will recognize as simple Justice.
We published a still stronger article in the
same view, few wesks ago, from a non

AN inventor, Charles H. Davids has pro-

all wsrk that type can do, and is indepen-
dent of their use in any way. The ma
chine works with rows of keys to be struck.
for the different letters and number, COM
mas, periods, ETC., and all that has to be
done is simply to place copy before the
operator, who strikes the keys rapidly as
in using a type writer, the result being a
series of properly spaced and justified in
donations on a metallic surface. This
metallic surface thus forms the matrix
from which stereotype, electrotype or eel

doing away with type, the setting and dis
tributing, and the employment of skilled
labor, as any one can operate the machine
