It is just elegant, both in style finish and tone-and say, Central, , tell them l shall expect hne stool and scarf, as gift, one of the inducements they make for the holidays. Shoninger's is the only company that favors customers in that direction, but the other dealers, poor fellows they are so poor! prefer to buy of reliable house one that know will be here right along and always makes every promise good.
 This manner of buying piano may seem queer to some readers, but we assure you business has been done with us exactly on this plan, while some agents chase customers meeting them at every cross road in season and more often out of season, until the customers are afraid their com panions will think they are in debt to the agents. Shoninger by honorable straight forward dealings steps in and makes the sale. Avoid such agents. They are considering your pocketbook more than the quality of the goods they are trying Lo sell you. We have no state agents, nc county agents or town agents, because we combine all that ourselves under one head Manufacturers and state agents, and save you at least two profits.

Gen. sheridan's Trip to Europe.

Before I left Chicago the newspapers were filled with rumors of impending war between Germany and France. I was anxious to observe the conflict, if it was to occur, but reports made one day concerning the be- ginning of hostilties would be contradicted the next, and it was not till reached Helena that the dispatches lost their doubtful char acter, and later became of so positive na- ture as to make it certain that the two na- tions would fight. I therefore decided to cut short my tour of inspection, so that could go abroad to witness the war, if the president would approve. Having received word from Gen. Sherman that there would be no obiec- tion to my going to Europe, began making arrangements to leave, securing passage by the steamship Scotia.
 President Grant invited me to come to see him at Long Branch before should sail, and during my brief visit there he asked which army I wished to accompany-the German or the French. told him the Ger man, for the reason that I thought more could be seen with the successful side, and that the indications pointed to the defeat of the French. My choice evidently pleased him greatly, as he had the utmost contempt for Louis Napoleon and had always denounced him as a usurper and charlatan.- Gen. Philip H. Sheridan in Scribner's Magazine
