Brooks F oster in Luck.

Brooks Foster, who resided here be-

who returned to Wilmington leaving
several inquiring friends, is now max
ing his living by lawing. Several
weeks ago he brought suit against the
city for police services which it was
claimed he never rendered, and won in
good round sum. Previously he
brought suit against John McCaferty
for damages to his little adopted son,
arising from the bite of a vicious dog.
Mr.. McCafferty had already been fined
$50 for keeping the dog contrary to
law before the Municipal Court. The
suit for damages e brought before
the Superior Court for the September
term. Last week a settlement was eff.
fected by Mr.. McCaferty paying
Foster $75 besides the costs, and on

Growth of the Piano.
IT'S GRADUAL EVOLUTION FROM THE
HARP OF TWO STRINGS.

The piano as we see it to-day, is the
growth of centuries of invention. In
its infancy it was harp with two or
three strings. From time to time
more strings were added, and after
awhile the cithara was born. The
cithara was in the shape of the letter
Z, and had ten strings. 1t took many
centuries for musicians to get the idea
of stretching the strings across an open
box, but somewhere about the year
1900 this was thought of and the dull
elmer made its appearance, the strings
being struck with hammers. For
another hundred years these hammers
were held in the hands of the player,
and then genius invented keyboard
which, being struck by the fingers,
moved the hammers. This instru-
ment was called a clavicytherium, or
keyed cithara. This underwent some
notifications aud improvements from
time to time.
In Queen Elizabeth's time it was
called a virginia. Then it was called u
spine, because the hammers were COW
cred with spines of quills, which struck
or caught the strings of wires and pro-
duced the sound. From 100 to 1900
it was much enlarged and improved,
and called a harpsichOrd, and this was
the instrument that Lady Washington,
Mrs. Hamilton, and the fine ladies of
our revolutionary times played on.
In 17l0 BartOlOmeO CristOfoli, an Ital-
ian, invented key or keyboard such
as we have now substantially, which
caused hammers to strike the wires
from above, and thus developed the
piano. In the past $50 years there is
no musical instrument which has 50
completely absorbed the inventive fac
ulty of man as the piano. At the pres
ent day the upright piano has the field
almost entirely to itself, and has
reached such grade of perfection in
shape, tone and appearance, that there
would appear to be no possibility o
further improvement.

The Eifel Tower.

DR.. Buckley, of the Christian AdUO-
cate, happening to be in Paris at the
opening Ofthe great Exposition May 6,
gives a graphic sketch of the fete, and
describes the marvellous tower erected
on the grounds 1000 feet high He
says:
The building has cost one million of
dollars, and a more graceful structure
does not exist on the globe. At a
little distance it seems like lace-wOrk.
With its elevators and staircase it is
comparatively easily ascended.
While we were in Paris a heavy
thunder storm arose, and the summit
of the tower was above the clouds, the
workmen engaged there being in bril-
liant sunshine seeing the lightning
below them.
1t is expected to be of great use in
scientific point of view, in meteorolOg-
ical observations, which on a building
made of iron and of open work will
not be affected by the eddies in the air
caused by the great heat in masonry
exposed to the sun. Fine oppOrtuni-
ties for astronomical observations and
experiments in connection with falling
bodies, and, in case of war, optical
telagraphy and opportunity offered for
views of the movements of the enemy.
1t is one sense a veritable Tower of
Babel, for amid the crowds walking
about at the base recognized twenty
eight dialects and languages, besides
considerable jargon which l could not
identify owing to my ignorance.
The day of opening closed by an
amazing display of fireworks, which,
whether their light or detOnation be
considered, probably surpassed any
thing of the kind. From the sound it
would have been easy to believe the
city of Paris was being bombarded,
and from the spectacle that the whole
! heavens were in state of recrystal-
: lization. On Sunday night, on the
topmost part of the tower, there ap-
peared a brilliant star, which changed
) from red to blue, and from blue tC
1 white. But at 10 o'clock on Monday
e night, as loud explosion was heard
the tower blazed from base to SUNNI
!, with red Greek fire, and then wa
!. crowned by a shower Of greer
l Roman candles. While the peOpl
o were gazing upon it "roar like many
e thunders" was heard behind, and the

f countless multitude Of sparks aros

there were generally six cofins to one

To one not acquainted with the cas-

been robbed of its usual interior, the
contents having been emptied through
small hole at one end. The shell is
then retilled with finely chopped tinsel
and colored paper, with the addition
of sachet powder or some dainty trim
