Electro-Masnets in Pianos.

Dr. Eisenmann in Berlin doctor juris, not musioae) has invented piano which, by the help of electro-magnetism, accomplishes that which has so long been sought for-the sus- taining as we'll as the increasing and dimin- ishing power of the sound, says The London World.
 Another and still more extraordinary ap- pication of the system is that, by moving the bar with the electro,magnets to another place, the timbre of the tone changes to that of another instrument
 It is we'll known that the lover tones' pro- duced by the vibrations result in "beats" (acousticians understand mel which alone cause the different tone colors or timbres, so that you may by this means play violoncello or piccolo on the piano.
 One of the great men of the first years of this century, the founder of musical acous- tics-Dr. Chladni doctor juris, too)-had al- ready made an attempt to reach the same end of crescendo and decrescendo by other, but not effective means-a glass cylinder; so has Boehm, the inventor of the metal flute, tried during thirty years to accomplish this purpose.
 At last electricity has done it, stream of which is set in movement by a new pedal. Tho invention is so grand that notwithstand- ing Q minute description will not say more of it until have seen it.
 If it is what it is announced to be it will cause quite revolution both in playing and composing for the pianoforte.;

The Philadelphia Murder a Most Atro-
 cious Crime.
 PdI.. pELPHIA, Jan. 2-Closer investiga- tion shows not only reconciliation of the minutest character on the part of JaooE Schoop to kill his partner, Anton Schilling, on Christmas day, but if the analysis of the intestines shall prove, as is suspected that it will, tat poison as well as butchery was used in the murder, the chain of guilty par ticipation will fasten all the more tightly about the miserable woman now in the Philadelphia hospital. She denies that she knew anything of the matter until Schoop was arrested.
 The daughter of the asuFderer fixed Dec. 10 as the day when the previous attemIi which failed to kill the man by poison was made by Schoop at the instigation of the administered dose of laudanum to Schilling on Christmas morning, and cut off his legs soon after the man became insensible It is also thought that he struck the dying man on bis face, so as tc produce an injury which might iook as if 6 scuffie had taken place, and that on the p1es of quarrel he might escape tlie gallews The details of his confession, therefore, arc not ensire!y believed. pr.

Timely Discovery of a We'll Laid Plot ts
 Destroy Many Nanufactories.

Destroy Many NIanufactories.
 DANBURY, Conn.,, Jan. 1.-Evidence of @ most diabolical attempt at incendiarism was discovered last night at the large wooden building in the rear of the New fork and New England Railroad tracks, used by David G. Penfield for the storage of benzine, naphtha, kerosene and fish oil. The night watchman found that the storehouse had been entered, and twenty two barrels of the different ails had been opened, and their contents formed a a pool around the building, and near Still river, small stream close by. Last night from twenty five to fifty men were secreted at various places near the building, ils the hopes of capturing the miscreant, it being thought that he intended setting fire to the oil during the night. Should such thing have taken place, aided by Still river, the burning oil woHld have set fire to numerous factories along the course Of the stream, The damage entailed' by the loss of the oil will reach $500
 The incendiary theory Is strengthened by the fact that within the preceding forty eight hours there had been four small fires, two being of undoubted incendiary origin. Early Sunday morning building used as a fish market was destroyed by fire, and yes terday morning the barn of Charles Fry was burned. Three hours later the alarm again sounded, and this time two barns owned by Thomas MlcDermott were destroyed, Loss, $3,O0O >'A3

Put to Bed to Be shod.

There Is a horse in the town of Sprague be- longing to Allen Williams that has to be put to bed to be shod As blacksmiths do not have beds in their shops for the accomoda- tion of such eccentric animals, Mir. Williams has to carry @ mattress and pillows to the shop where his horse is..shod. The horse does not like to go to bed, and as it takes good management to throw him down on to mat tress, and get him into mood and position to have the shoes put on his hoofs, few black smiths like to undertake the job. A Norwich man has done the job repeatedly, and almost always the horse is driven to this city to have new shoes put upon him. The horse Is thrown down and held on the mattress by straps across the body, and his owner insists on having the horses head bolstered up In . comfortable position with two pillows while the work is being done. There is not, proba,, bly,, another horse in New England that re- quires 2 mattress and pillows to be shod upon.-Norwich Bulletin.

Greeted and Congratulated By the Retir-
 ing Mayor and a Crowd.
 NaM YORK Jan. 2.-The installation yes terday of Mayor Hugh J. Grant into the office of chief magistrate of the Empire city was the occasion of much eclat. The old mayor came early to his office, travelling modestly by way of the Third avenue ele- vated road. He reached the city hall at Il o'clock, and, finding his office empty, at once commenced reading the valedictory message which he had promulgated on the day pre- vio,fs r.
 The new mayor came to his office which is to be his official residence for the next two years, walked briskly across the park from the county court house, and was received in the private office of MT. Hewitt, who said that he was glad to see him. The two gentle: men then entered the main office at precisely 12 o'clock, arm in arm, Mayor Hewitt look ing haggard and worn as a deaths head, and the mayor-elect bright, youthful and taller than usual. Police Officer Gallagher forced passage through the dsnsely crowded room to the mayors desk, when, as sudden silence came, Mayor Hewitt said,
 ''Mr. Mayor, according to the law as un- derstand it, the arrival of the hour of 13 o'clock to-day brings my official functions to a close. and is the beginning of your public duty as mayor of the city of New York for the two years to come. If you, sir, have half as much pleasure in assuming that duty as have in laying it down you are to be congratulated, and ] do now congratulate you very heartily. Gentlemen, how intro duce you to the mayor of the city of New York"
 Mayor Grant smiled bis thanks, and the outgoing and incoming mayors shook hands. while the crowd cheered both. Then Mayor Grant, not seeing the e1-mayor, who had disappeared, smiled again and said:
 "I do not know that can say any thing of special interest at this mament, except that hope to give the city of New York so good government during my term of office that when it ends I shall have, and shall deserve to have the approbation of all the people alike"
 There was loud and renewed cheering and cries of "Wish you luck, "t hope you won't have trouble, !" ''He's all right" etc., etc.

 ginning of the eclipse was successfully ob- served at that point and also the last contact, At St. Helena the conditions were favora- ble. The nearest approach to totality was at l:5O, when observers noticed plainly, with the naked eye, a narrow circle of light on the northeasterly side of the suns disc, and in an instant the bright spot was transferred to the other side. The appearance of the entire valley in a shadowy light was weird. At Orrville photographs were taken, the clpuda obscIring the view of the totaltty, but @ good view was had up to within few min utes of that period. A successful observation was made at Bartlett Springs, by Professor Keeler, of the Lick observatory who says that the corona was beautifully distinct and that he saw remarkable changes in the length of the coronal lines. Professor Barnate ob- tained nine photographs, PgQfessQr Hill photographed all the contacts and studied the structure of the inner corona. Professor Senschne made seven measures of light dur ing the totality.
 Professor Louis Swift, director of the War ner observatory, of Rochester, N Y, tele; graphs as follows from Nelson Cal,, where he took observations of the suns eclipse: "As far as affording opportunity to search for intramercural planets it was failure on account of clouds and haze. All four con- tacts were well made, a chronometer watch, previously set to Lick observatory time, be- ing used, Five very small, colorless pro tuberances were seen, all having pointed apexes; near the point of one was another detached from the sun. Bailey's beads were seen at the second and third contacts, but entirely unlike those @een at Denver :l ls7ss No chromosphere was seen, though looked for. Mercury Venus, Vega and Alpho Cygni were seen. The corona could not be drawn, but as seen through the tele- scopes was not very extensive. At Brass but during the period of tatality the stars and large planets were seen with the naked eye, The corona and protuberanus were a grand sight The thermometer fell degs. between the first contact and totality. The weather was clear at Virginia City, New, and dnineteen-twentieths of the suns surface was obScured. The thermometer dropped from 30 to 20 degs during the progress of the eclipses. A heavy fag prevailed at Truckee Gal, ill the Sierra Nevada mountains, and during the eclipse it was necessary to use electric lights on the streets.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The eclipse of the sun was observed here at the National pb servatory and at Georgetown college. Al the latter point Rev. Father Hagen, the dis tingushed astronomer. now in charge of the observatory at Georgetown. made his ob servations at sixteen minutes before sunset Owing to the low attitude of the sun the limb was very unsteady. Yet the excep- tionally clear horizon allowed the first con tact to be observed at 4 hours, 30 minutes and 34 seconds standard mean time.

His Wife as He Saw Her.

Burke was sustained amid tho anxiety aud agitation of public life by domestic felicity. "Every care vanishes," he said "the moment enter beneath ny own roof!"
 His description of his wife is too long to quote, but we must give epitome of it. Of her beauty he said it did not arise from fea- lures, from complexion or from shape; 'she has all three in high degree, but it is not by these that she touches the heart; it is all that sweetness of temper, henevolence, innocence and sensibility which a face can express, that forms her beauty. Her eyes have mild light but they awe you when she pleases; they command, like good man out of office, not by authority, but by virtue. Her stature is not tall, she is not made to ha the admira- tion of everybody, but the happiness of one. She has all the hrmpess that does not exclude delicacy; she has all the softness that does not imply weakness.
 "Her voice Is 8 low, soft music, not formed to rule public assemblies, but to charm those who can distinguish company from a crowd; it has this advantage, you must come close to her to hearit To describe her body describes her mind; one is the transcript of the other. She discovers the right and wrong of things, not by reasoning, but by sagacity. No person of so few years can know the world better; no person was ever less corrupted by that knowledge, She has a true generosity of temper, the most e1. travagant cannot be more unbounded in their liherality, the most covetous not more cautious in their distribution. Her polite ness seems to flow rather from @ natural dis position to oblige than from any rules on the subject.
 ''It is long before she chooses, but then it Is fixed forever, and the first hours of TO- mantle friendship ara not warmer than hers after tho lapse of years. As she never dis graces her good nature by severe reflections on anybody. so she never degrades her judg- ment by immoderate or i'll placed praises, for everything violent is contrary to her gen. tleness of disposition and the evenness of her virtue"-Cassell's Magazine.

Behind it was a pyramid of fresh young faces. clustered about the couches in the center of the room and looking out eagerly upon the crowd. Each visitor, as he entered the doorway of the blue room, was presented by name in loud distinct tone of voice. Each received a smile and a hand clasp from the president and Mrs Cleveland in turn, and then passed down the receiving line through the green parlor and into the east room. With all who passed through the parlors, Mrs. Clevelands charming demeanor was a subject of comment.

The back of the dress was Princesse shaped, with pink folds on the waist, fastened with pearl em- broidery. Fine front was jacket shaped, rounded and fell over the full vest of pink silk draped with white net. The sleeves of pink were shcrt puffs edged on the arm with pearl bands The low bodice was edged with the heavy fur, and lay against her white skin caressingly. She wore the diamond neck lace, and diamond star in her hair, that was dressed in loops on top of her head. Her gloves were soft pearl color, with the fingers of the right hand turned back, leaving her hand free to grasp the hands or tho-e Whc passed in the pageant.
