The Guitar of Japan.

The most popular instrument In Japan
is the sono koto. a sort Of guitar. or rather
q combination Of the guitar and dulcimer
Its use is certainly very curious. there be-
ing thirteen strings of waxed silk. which
are tuned In unison The strings being of
equal length and thickness and having
the same note. present difficulty of Sc
curing modification Of tone SO as to pro
duce melody This is overcome by the
use of bridges similar to those of guitar.
to enable the performer to play melodies
varying at least three oetaves from the
lowest to the highest notes The sono
koto is six feet two and half inches In
length by uine inches in breadth and one
and half inches deep and. under the
fingers of skiuful performer, has q very
pleasing tone. not unlike that Of the dul
elmer
The Japanese are famous for their skill
in inlaying. and few specimens of their
ability in this branch of fine art surpass
that in this charming instrument. The
sono koto Is great favorite In Japan
among tie ladies of the higher class, and
for woman to be able to perform skill
fully upon it is a guarantee of that object

Night.
This morning at O'Clock an alarm was
keyed In from Box %, corner High and
Spring, calling the department to fire found
to be in MacGregor Bros brass works on
Washington street, between Limestone and
Spring street. The fire was In the foundry
department under the flooring. In what
manner it caught cannot be determined,
but from Its location and considering the
fact that there was no hot metal in the
foundry it has q faint of incendiarism. The
loss is estimated TO be about $500, which is
fully insured.

some success that Mr.. J. J. Mccarthy, the
Limestone merchant tailor (Bookwalter

that, in proportion to his pretenson.

goods than any merchant tailor in Central
Ohio. Young men from Urbana, Mechan-

will deal nowhere else. There is a dash
and a metropolitanism about Mr.. Nc
Carthy's cutting that the good taste Of the
boys eagerly accept. He is a close student
of the latest modes in the fashionable
world. and when you get q garment from
Macs hands you can bank on it being thor
oughly elegant.
His prices are astonishingly low, and his
stock of material abundant and magnificent

said, in a piteous tone--he was only attired in
furred dressing-gown with nightcap on his
head. ."Give me your hand am very weak. "
He would not let me speak to him on business.
II am no longer in fit state, said he; "speak
to the king, and do what he says. Look at this
beautiful Correggio. this Venus by Titan, and

Ministers in Congress.

From the st. Louis Republic.
-Four of five preachers were running for Con-
gress this year, but the chances are that only
two Of the aspiring parsons will be members of
the next House-Mr. Owens, of Indiana, and
Mr.. Lester, of Virginia. The former is Of the
Congregational faith, and next March will
enter upon his third term. The latter will be
new member. He is hardshell Baptist
failed to be reelected on November 6, is a
Universalist preacher. Parson Steck was
nominated for Congress by the democrats up
in Pennsylvania, but the wicked republicans
prevailed 30 against him that he will not help
to legislate during the next two years. Parson
Owens of Indiana, is a meek little man, who
doesn't have much to say in Congress, but
Parson Lester, of Virginia, when he
comes into the House, is going to be
heard. Indeed it is said that he has such a
powerful voice that there will be no shutting
him off when he takes a notion to talk.
He is tall, slender. raw-boned man, with very
dark hair and moustache, and has the reputa-
ton down in his country of being an exhorter,
the like Of whom hasn't been produced this
century in Virginia. When he gets warmed up
his voice can be beard for quarter of q mile,
more or less, out in the open air. The Virginia
preacher can fill the vacuum made by the with.
drawal Of Congressman Taulbee, of Kentucky
from the House. The Kentuckian was edu-
Gated for the ministry, and has preached some,
but is now of the legal profession. Mr.. Taulbee
has the loudest and most resonant voice of any
man now in Congress, perhaps and during the
last session it will be remembered that Gen.
Grosvenor, of Ohio said, when interrupted by
Mr.. Taulbee: II cannot talk against brass
band, neither can talk against the voice of
the gentleman from Kentucky"

out:
