that its permanent interests can best be
served by considering the interests of the
communities, in the growl h and prosperity
of which the road is sure to find its great.

A NEW MUSICAL INVENTION.
Is II an Organ or a Piano?

All the objections to the parlor organs
are at last done away with by this new in.
vention. 1t has seven full octaves las
many keys as the piano. and looks exactly
Ike a fine upright piano. There are nc
stops in view nor unsghtly bellows pedals,
but the instrument is worked by two pedals
exactly like t ose on piano, and a siA
year old child is able to work with ease
The delicacy and variety of its tones are
wonderful, and the touch SO light and
quick that the most difficult piano piece
can be eXecu ed thereon W thout difficulty
1t is a marvellous improvement upon tn
parlor organ. and has created a great sen
sation in musical circles. The price is no
higher than that of the ordinary organ

The Louisiana Democrats have split on
the lottery question, the opponents of the
LOTTERY Withdrawing from the regular con.

candidate. The two factions are SO bitter
that there is no hope of their patching up
any compromise and the fight will be fought
TO finish. What the result of the conte st
will be will depend probably very much
upon the attitude of the Republicans, and
1t is to be hoped that they will turn in and
