ssIhcrc arc 4 good many facts about
music-boxes that the public Ii not
aware on, remarked . dealer TO d re-
porter recently sin the first place.
they wcrc invented ono hundred years
ago and in Switzerland. They all como
from that country, even at the present
time. Whyp Because the labor re-
quired to mako them Is too costly in
this country. The length of time d
music-hox will play varies cOnsidera-
bly. They are iurnished with one.
two, or four powerful springs, and will
play for four, six, eight, fifteen, twell-
fy-iivc, or seventy-iive minutes, ac-
cording to the size OF the box and the
number Of springs 1t Is provided with.
As d rule the works are inclosed in
highly-polished iniaid cases of avariety
of ricl woods. They ucEers require
tuning. rs many people suppose. but il
the simple instructions which accom-
pany each box are followed, they will
last lifetime, reqni1nk. like i clock,
only an occasional cleaning. Ihere
are . number of cautions which should
be told TO every ono who owns u music
box. Under no circumstances should
Il be moved while IL Is playing; it
should ,neycr. be- allowed to remain run
down in the middle OF o tune; neither
the fly-wheel nor any part OF the move
ment should be unscrewed unloss it Is
certain that the instrument has entire
II run down. f4
"What IS new in the mnsic-box
linep'' sf
Several things. One with inter-
changeablo cylinders. for instance.
Boxes with only one cylinder play from
one to twelve tunes, but we have Just
introduced class of boxes with inter-
changeable cylinders Of six tunes each.
BY means of these the number Of tunes
10 box may be increased indefinitely.
We keep these cylinders in stock and
special tunes are often ordered for
them. Another new thing is tho
'Marotte, o musical doll mado in Par
is. It's dolls head and shoulders
attached to q stick in tho shape of a
handle. and the child, by taking hold
of the stick and whirling it around in
q small circle, makes the head move
while the music-box inside plays q
tune. The whole contrivance is about
q foot long, and the dolls have very
pretty faces and are tasfefully dressed
in red, white. and blue. Another nov
city is cigar-holder with places for
large number Of cigars. 1t is turret-
shaped, with doors ut each partition,
and as it moves around it plays tune.
The dolls cost $2 each. and tho cigar
stands from So. 90 upwards. =
what tunes do people prefer in the
boxes just now?n
Light operate music and popular
American airs. But there is no end to
tho variety Of Tunes in them. Our
boxes are provided with all tho favor
ite dances, marches, national airs, and
ballads. as well as with the best selec-
tons from the most popular operas,
Iballcts, etc"
What are some of the priccs2'
tsYou can get nusic-Dox for 80
cents, and have sold one In this city
for as high as 5000 But this was d
number Of years ago. Some are as
large Us an upright piano and cost
$4,000. These have an unlimited
number Of tunes. owing to the inter-
changeable cylinders. The 9O-cent
boxes have twonty-eight teeth, play
one tune, are made round or square,

Close of the Hambly Case.

At Tuesdays afternoon session of the
United States Court, the case of Thos.
9. Hambiy vs.the Delaware, Maryland
& Virginia Railroad Company, was
again taken up, when Anthony Hig.
gins, Esq, one of the attorneys for the
plaintiff, rose and stated that after con.
sultation between all the counsel en-
gagged In the case, they had agreed to
present the following:
"And now to-wit this sixteenth day
of June, A. D., 1885, the above stated
case having been settled between the
parties, it is agreed that it shall be and
is hereby discontinued, each party to
pay his own costs.
He asked that the rule be granted, and
Judge Bradley said it would afford the
Court much pleasure to accede to the
request. All connected with this case
| seemed pleased that it was settled, as
had it gone to trial, 1t is probable 1t
| would have continued for several
weeks. The jurors were then discharged
adjourned at 1925 p. m., until 10 O'Clock
| this morning.
The suit grew out of contract signed
by the plaintiff with the Junction and
Break water Railroad Company, May 8
1869, to build its railroad from George
town to Lewes, and TO build the pier at
that p int. The contract was rescinded
August 20, 1869. Legal proceedings
were begun at the June term of the
United States Court in 1880. The claim
for damages was laid nominally at
$3.50, 900, and lawyers engaged say that
they might amount to any sum between
$500 and $500, 600.
1t Is not known what the terms oi
settlement are, as it is said the partie,
are pledged TO secrecy, but each side
say they are satisfied.

MADRID, June 16.-In the province
of Castellon de La Plana yesterday,
there were eighty cases OF cholera and
sixty deaths. Thirty thousand people
have fled from Murcia, owing to the
terrible dread of the disease which has
taken possession of the people. In the
city of Murcia alone yesterday there
were, according to the latest returns,
sixty -four fresh cases OF cholera and
thirty y-nine deaths. In the province of
Murcia, outside of the city, there were
fifty cases of cholera and sixteen deaths
within the same period.
The Official Gazette confirms the
statement that cholera is raging in the
provinces of Valencia, Castellon de Ia
Plana and Murcia and in the city OF
Madrid. The opposition" news
papers, on the contrary, deny that
cholera exists in Madrid, and say that
all testimony regarding the suspicious
cases is insufficient to give warrant fol
the assertion that they are cases OF
cholera.

are not paying as we'll this year as last
year. Fewer persons attend, and thoee
who do spend much less money. The

1900 persons on the Republic 10 Beverly
