The Emerson piano Company.

n. \, Grapnlc.
The new building of this company, at No.
$50 fremont street, Boston, is one of the
finest OF Its kind in the country, and Is ai-
mirably adapted to the purposes for which It
was designed. The wareroom on the first floor
has probably the largest show.window ever
constructed, and 1t is an exceedingly hand
come one as WELL The filings and furnish
ines are artistic, and have commanded the
decorating In oil was done by NJ. Flemming, a
French artist OF rare ability. The whole
building, IN iac1, be- exhipits the most most superior
Manufacturing Company OF Boston designed
and manufactured the chandeliers and gas
fixtures from special designs, to conform to
the Interior architecture. The reputation and
character OF this house are we'll known and
deed, is worthy the company that Will
occupy 1t, and TO say this is TO pay high
compliment. The company was newly organ
lied IN 1870, but has musical reputation
that dates back more than thirty years. Its
facilities for turning out pianos rapidly are
believed 10 be superior to those OF any other
establishment, but the rapldity In work Is
never permitted to interfere with the quality
Of the instruments. Some of the largest
pianos dealers In the world are agents for the
Emerson Company. Among them are such
firms as W. W. Kimball, OF Chicago, tho larg-
est dealer In the United states; ID. S. John.
ston & Co., of Cincinnati; James Bellak, of Phil.
adelphia; Kohler * Chase, OF San Francisco,
one Of the largest and safest Arms on the
Pacific coast; Thomas Goggan & Brothers,
Galveston, Texas, one of the many agents 70
whom the company ship pianos by the carload.
The company by the way, claim to be the
only manufacturers that ever shipped
pianos by the train load. They have at pres
ent seventeen cars for service, painted and
decorated By themselves and held especially
for their use. One Of the largest weeks work
ever done In this country In any factory was
turned out from their house, 100 pianos being
shipped In whole train 10 Chicago and San
Francisco without change OF cars. The present
condition Of the company Is highly sa,lssac-
tory. They employ only the best Of w0rkmen,
many OF whom are owners OF handsome homes
and have been employed by ths company for
thirty years or more. They do not solicit
artists 70 play their pianos, as others do;
neither DO they depend upon letters % carry
on their business, but they claim 20 make the
best piano for tho money In the United States,
and they say to this fact they owe their sue
cess. They most cordially invite all 70 visit
iheir new rooms whether they are in search
Of pianos or not.

As WAS apprehended, the verdict of the
jury in the Star-Route case has driven the
New York Times to idiocy. Never far re-
moved from this deplorable mental condi-
tion, it nov slavers upon its unfortunate
readers more disgustingly than ever.
Here is specimen:
We are Informed by what purports to he a
Washington dispatch TO an evening news-
paper published In this city that one of the
leading lawyers lately engaged In the defense
OF the Star. Route thieves has said that in all
against the New York Times by Brady and per.
haps by Dorsey. We learn further that some OF
Brsdy's friends advise him not TO resort to
such a course unless the Times continues Its
warfare and fails to acquiesce In the verdict.
Well, the Times does not acquiesce In the
verdict and viii continue the warfare.
II this course should be unsatisfactory to
Thomas J. Brady, Stephen W. Dorsey, or any
other Star.Route thief, and they choose 10
attempt 10 vindicate themselves In libel suits,
the Zfmes will welcome the opportunity to do
the Republican party and the country the
grandest service OF which It Is capable by
proving In court OF law that they are thieves
and that It has told the truth In calling them
such.
This is eminently characteristic of the
Times. 1t is as vulgar as the obscene litera-
ture George Jones once peddled for living,
and as truthful as the story he set aAoat
about the way the founder of the Times
died.
No one has ever heard General Brady say
he would bring libel suits; what General
Brady does he does and does not blow about
il 10 advance, And be is not so much in
love with the machinery Of justice as to
voluntarily rush into q court to secure his
rights or his vindication.
Ex-senator Dorsey may entertain the
idea of bringing the vile and yenal Times
to account. THE CRITIC hopes he docs. It
will not be difficult matter to show the
Times even viler and more vensl than the
public thinks it to be. 1t will not be difficult
to show it paper edited by malice, con.
trolled by prejudice, and infamous in
every respect. Mr.. Dorsey will do great
public good in exposing the vile concern
and it is to be hoped he will not tarry long
in acting.

The Iury as scapegoat.

NtW 1OTK HtfNIul IOuhY,
The Herald, discussing the Star Route vor.
diet, said that the Government as prose.
cutors, were responsible and not the Jury, be.
cause II was the duty Of the prosecution to see
that they had case before they asked for an
Indictment, aud when they went to trial 70
make their case so plain that the Jury could
understand 1t. This proposition SURPRISES the
because II goes on at once to give reasons why
the charge on which the Government elected
10 try tho defendants was very dlficult for q
Jury 10 comprehend. But the Attorney Gen
ernl and his assistants had only one duty 10
perform, mat was 70 make the case plain ID
the comprehension OF the jnry. That It was
dimcult IL no excuse for their failure to do
thisi no one compelled them 10 undertake the
case. Lawyers are like generals-it is their
business TO succeed. II they failit is folly for
them 70 say It was rainy day, or the mud
was TOO deep, or that other circumstances were
unpr0pitlOus.

GENERAL FITz-JoHN PORTER was In
Chicago the other day and submitted to an
interview. He spoke out plainly and de-
nounced General John A. Logan in severe
terms. He predicts that If nominated Lo-
gan could not be elected President of the
United States and hints that the swarthy
Senator's private life will not bear close
scrutiny. 1t would be better probably for
Porter to let the private character of Gem

OUTSIDE papers have good deal to say
about the late Star-Routc jury. Men are best
known among their neighbors aud friends,
and all the talk of malicious and disap-
pointed press cannot convince any man or
woman who knows the Jurors that they
acted from any other than the most con-
sceutious motives in their verdict.

WE opine that the Washington CRITIC Is not
for Tilden and Hendricks In 1884. The reason
Is that II possesses Western editor, and his
Missouri Instincts are sufficiently retained to
place in the van q Western man for Presi-
dent.-Sedaiid Democrat.
Right you are. THE CRITIC feels very
friendly toward Joseph Mcdonald, of In
diana.

Fun In the Country.

I'VE take the following anecdotes
from l. n. Ford's article, entitled The
Fresh-Air Fund" in ST. NicholaS for
June. There is something almost pa
thetc in the ignorance of these little
city waits in regard to the simplest facts
of nature.
The boys naturally took TO the water
like so many Newfoundland puppies.
Wherever there were brooks and quiet
pools they were to be seen, 81 any hour
of the day, fishing, swimming, and wad-
ing. One bright-cyed little sportsman,
who had provided himself with two for
midable bean-shooters, gravcly asked
his host if the woods back OF the barn
We're ''gamy,"
The BOYS were always saving queer
things, which convulscd the jolly farm
ers with laughter. "Who watered these
plants last night?' asked little fellow
at Guilford, catching glimpse of dew
on the grass, MY eye what biz lem
ons! was an exclamation called out
by squashes in the garden, II say! who
owns all the robins round hcre?' was
another amusing question. At Old
Lyme, an urchin could not reprcSs his
establishment when he saw man dig
ging potatoes in the field. Haven t
you any barrels in your ceiar?' he
asked, contemptuously. ''Why do you
keep 'em slowed away in the ground
that wayP'
One little maiden near Essex was not
distressed when she found that she had
no playmates in the house. She had
her doll, and that was company enough.
She chose a sheltered corner OF the front
yard as her nursery, and every morning
went out to sing her dolly TO sleep, her
favorite lullaby being n popular rellg-
ious hymn. Across the road lived n
country lad of her own age, who ut once
began to annoy her by repeating her
music in high key, with .numer.
Gus variations. For two days she
paid no heed to her troublesome
neighbor. On the third, her blood
was reused. She proppcd up her
doll against post of the fence, marched
across the road with flashing eyes, and
cuifed her audience of one boy about the
ears. "Now, just see here she ex-
claimed. III came here for two weeks
fun, and l mean to have it!' The boy
fled riotously, and the moral effect o
the demonstration was marked. Tn,
sturdy little maiden was suffered tc
have her fun in peace and quiet until il
was time for her to return to the city.
The pathos of neglected childhood
softened many heart. There was tn,
motherly little maiden who, accus
toned to looking after her agile broth.

had carefully and conscientiously ex-
amhed the jawbone of a mastodon for

I. The animal existed in the year 42s,
more or less.
2. His chief diet was grass and herbs,
but he had no particular objection to
breaking into corn-lield or putting in

8. He was 900 years old when he
died.
The committee recommended that
the club use its influence to encourage
new growth of mastodons and sacred

the report was accepted and adopted.
Chloride Biscombe, Chairman OF the
Committee on Internal Improvement,
also announced his readiness to report.
His committee had been given the in
quiry: as there anything to encourage
the colored man" and had struggled
with it for six long weeks. AT first sight
il did not seem as If there was one single
ray of encouragement for the dark
skinned brother, but after viewing the
situation in all its aspects the committee
had discovered the following points OF
encouragement:

before ejecting anon-paying tenant.
e. Grocers and butchers are not SO

8. There are tokens of big water
melon crop, and Presidential election
will soon occur.
4. Women who used to do their own
white-washing at night with the cur.
