Musical Facts,

ut is common idea among piano makers
that the individuality of piano lies in the
scale, and that if you can only faithfully
copy scale of certain make, you can alb
solutely reproduce its identity. This idea
is entirely erroneous. There are plenty of
people who have tried to copy the Steinway
system, and have 'pricEed off the Stein
way scale to hairs point, but they have
not been able to produce Steinway Pianos
for all that. "-AnIericdn Musician.

Amanda johnson, an esteemed and aged
colored servant, died on Thursday, after a
long and lingering illness. She was born a
slave to the family Of Mrs. Barstow of Viii
mington island, ON whose estate many OF
her descendants still live. Several months
ago she was, at her request, taken back to
the old plan alton, where she hoped to re-
cover her health, but it continued TO fail,
and the good old soul passed away in
her 18th year For many years she was the
nurse in the family of Col. j. H. Estill, and
a more kind-hearted and careful servant
never had charge of children. Dee" as
she was called by the family,
will be ever remembered; she
was a servant of tho olden time; a part of
the household of which she was an inmate
an authority in all matters where the chill
dren were concerned; tueir friend, adviser
and protector. She was consistent member
of the Second African Baptist church, aud
her greatest pleasure when her days work
was done, was to attend to her religious du-
ties. Her remains wore inferred at Will
mington island yesterday.

Railroad men aud people living in the
vicinity of the Sautee river, South Carolina,
have decided to name the recent FIRE .het i'm
honor of President Cleveland and the great
river overflow Of 1883 will be known in his
tory as tine Cleveland freshet in contradis-
tinction 10 the Sherman freshet of 1865,
which until within two weeks ago enjoyed
the distinction of having caused the highest
rise ever known on the Santee.
IL is not generally known, perhaps, that
the Sherman freshet was named in honor OF
Gen. w. I. Sherman, who at the time of
its occurrence in 1865, was marching WITH
his army through Georgia aud South Caro-
lima. A South Carolina railroad man re-
calls the circumstance which gave the
freshet of 1865 It's baptism. The confederate
troops had just evacuated Charleston asd
were making toward Bentonvilie, N. G.
On reaching Santee river the soldiers col
lected at 81 Stephens and were ferried
across the river in fiat boats. IL was u slow
process. however, and their transportation
consumed over week, during which time
the freshet came down the river, tempora-
nly interfering with the ferriage.

PASTOR INSTALLED.

The installation services of the Rev.
ID. I. Carnahan as pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of Port Townsend,
took place on Sunday at 1870 a. IN. in
Red Meu's Hall according TO previous
announcements. This building was Sc
lected for the occasion because of its
large seating capacity.
Before the appointed hour had arriv-
ed the building was filed by large ex-
pectant audience. The Rev. II. V.
Rice, pastor Of the Port Townsend Bay
Presbyterian church presided at :he
ceremonies, propounded the coustitu-
tional questions to the pastor elect and
to the congregations; charged the new
pastor and received him to the pastorate.
The Rev. w. A. Mackay. pastor of the
Presbyterian church of Tacoma. having
been detained at the last moment the
Rev. J. n. Denison, pastor of the NJ E.
church, preached in his stead an excel
lent discourse. The Rev. J. A. Hanna.
pastor of the Presbyterian church of
Duugeness, delivered the invocation,
aud charged the congregation. In the
evening, Re7. FL. V. Rice gave an able
sermon at the same place to an audience
that taxed the capacity OF the building
to its utmost.
The music for the occasion Was under
the direction OF Prof. W. J. Melville,
with Mrs. Melville at the organ, and was
of high order. In addition TO the
regular choir, Messrs. A. and M. and j.
II. Dobbs kindly assisted. Among the
new faces in this choir Of late we notice
that of Mr.. Jago, in whom the choir has
secured an excellent accession.
Mr.. Carnahan is now on his third
years service with the presby terian
church. Since his coming there have
been many additions to the church. and
the society has found in him most
earnest and helpful pastor.

to bring down from the forests spar
for the main boom. On the way home
the schooner tried fishing all along, but
met with no success. Capt Johansen
thinks the fish had gone to winter guar
ters. On the way here, stop was made
at Neah Bay. and it wRs there learned
from the MoIlie Adams that fishing
would likely be successful about Cape
tlattery. The Captain got no fishing
news or information except what he
gained by bis own observations. He
says the Alaska coast Is bad; there are
no light houses, no harbors for vessels
on stormy nights No place to put IN
for repairs. Inlets are of no use, be
cause it is safe to anchor only far off
from land. The weather, Capt. johann
sen says. is not as bad as 1t lie on the At
lantic. The wind was from one direction
nearly all the time, so when the ship was
blown away It was hard to get back. The
Captain says, that the eastern fishermen
are watching developments with great
interest, and that as soon as the busI-
ness is known to pay here! that there
will be a rush this way.
