THE MASON & HAMIIN COMPANY, long the
most famous manufacturers of reed organs
in tho world, have commenced the manufac-
ture of Upright Pianos, having effected an
Improvement which they regard as the most
important introduced in many years. An in
genious arrangement fastens the strings d.
rectly to the iron plate of the instrument,
giving greater clearness and purity of tone,
with absence of all mere noise. At the same
time it renders the instrument more durable,
less liable to get out Of order. The Mason 4
Hamlin Pianos are certainly exquisite instru-
ments, and, coming from these thoroughly
well-known makers, may be depended upon
to be all they represent them.-Boston Journal.

The sober second thought OF the party

THE general tenor OF the criticisms>of
the San Francisco press is that, while
the Jersey Lily is unquestionably a
handsome woman, her beauty has never
thelcss been greatly exaggerated. As
an actress she plcases but she does not
impress the public with the idea that
sho possesses anything that might be
Justly described as hislrionic ability.
We are not overwhelmingly impressed
either with the honesty or the ability
of the dramatic critics of the Golden
Gate. There are few of them, like
'Beauclcrc," of the Netcs Letter, who
could write an admirable analysis of any
dramatic or operate representation, ii
they would, but their spirit OF fair play
is not always to be relied upon, For
tunately, unless we are misinformed,
Angelenos will have an opportunity OF
forming their own impressions OF Mrs
Langtry, as she will in all likelihood
tread the boards of the Childs Opera
House. Without doubt this famous
beauty could command at least two
or more highly remunerative houses in

The Grand Old Democratic Society
of Turner's.

EDITOR HERALD:-It is enormously
stated in the HERALD of Sun.
day, that "rhe Turn Verein Ger
mania Society has for its sole object
the development OF the human
muscles"
Not so, the object OF that Society has
been from its very inception to make
free men and good brothers of the Ger.
man youth, and it has wonderfully sue.
ceeded in eilecting the ends proposed by
its founders.
When the iron hand of Napoleon
held in subjection Germany with the
rest of Europe, demonstrating the in.
capacity of its governments to maintain
rational Independence or individual
freedom, the grand idea suggested itself
to jain that the only hope of the
human race, and especially the Teutonic
race, lay in the free individual, physical
and mental development of its youth to
be effected not by aid or interference
from government, but by the free and
VI tHt iuulNlu-
uals, voluntarily associated together for
mutual btotherly assistance, and this
idea gave birth to the Turn Nerein,
whose object is not muscular but
mental development, as the result of
proper physical development. and the
spirit of free brotherhood and good fel-
lowship resulting from obedience freely
given to a discipline required in order
that the physical development should
be possible.
The most noteworthy feature of the
Turner Society is that quiet uniform dis
cipline and obedience to the rules, laws,
aud officers of the association, which
results from the grand fact that that
obedience is not forced ore, but the
tribute of free will. And the great
principle which gave rise to, and has
caused the success of the Society is the
grand old Democratic doctrine, that
every individual has born right 10
develop himself freely, and the obliga-
tion to assist his brother in that develop
ment free from all governmental inter-
ference. +. II. Howard.
