To the Editor of the ST. Croir Auis.
Dear Sir!

Please allow ms through the medium
of your columns to say a few words about the
Organ to those who either have charge of, or
who occasionally play upon that instrument.
Before going further, | would beg to make
it distinctly understood that l am not writing
for those who already know, perhaps as much
about the Organ as myself, but for those who
may be brought in connection with the instru-
ment without ever having been told, that
there is a vast difference between it and their
pianoforte upon which they play at home. And
as some knowledge of the construction of any
machine, enables us to use it with more intelli-
gence and skill, l believe that a few plain
hints upon the mechanism of the Organ, may
help to guide the young player in manipula-
ting 1t IN the proper way, and assist him in
rectifying any slight arrangement of any of
It's parts without enoroaching on the province
of the professional tuner.
In the planoforte one has to do only with
hammers, keys, and strings; in the Organ
the parts to be considered are more numerous,
and complicated. AS in the pianoforte, we
find keys; but instead of hammers and strings,
we find ~stickers. backfaLs, trackers, pulIdowns,
pallets, and pipes etc. But backfalls, crackers
pipes etc. would be of little or no use, if we
had not the beIlous, windchest and sliders. all
of which are indispensable to the equipment
of an organ.
There being such a wide difference in the
construction of the two instruments it is evil
dent that both are not intended to be used in
the same way, for while in playing upon the
pianoforte we strike the keys, in the organ
they must simply be pressed down with firm
ness. But my intention is not to give a lesson
upon Organ playing, but simply a brief des-
oription of some of the parts of the mechanism;
l shall, for the present, therefore, leave that
part of he subject.
Let US then return to the parts before men,

Your correspondent condemns Mr.. Nathan's
attempt as being foolhardy. He says 'to MIR.
George FL nm must be awarded all the praise
for his heroic attempt to venture to sea IN his
boat to the rescue Of Mr.. Nathan and his su r
viving crew, for in his case we can see a just
cause for this attempt Now. to a calm, and
dispassionate reader I would ask if nineteen
men on a hulk for sixteen hours, exposed as
they were, in jeopardy of their lives, was not
sufficient Just cause" to "engender the noblest
feelings in the breast?'
Hear what Captain Johnson says, whose
opinion is certainly of value.
what Mr.. Nathan attempted any other
right minded and humane man would have
attempted, as the weather had abated very
much. Had he reached the vessel there would
have been no trouble about taking us off, and
the fact of my going on a raft Immediately
after, with sixteen men besides, is proof enough
that it was not so bad, and therefore his effort
at rescuing US was certainly not foolhardy'-
In my previous letters did not fail to give
credit to Mr.. Flynn for his gallant attempt to
rescue Mr.. Nathan, which | still maintain he
unquestionably deserves.
''Justitia" charges me with incovrectness
about my statements in connection with the
steamer, and mentions that Mr.. Robt. Flynn
was in charge. Well, in what capacity was
Capt. Robinson acting? WAS the Captain the
Mate on this occasion, or were there two
Captains in charger 4 was indeed fortunate
in saving my trunk nothing 'foolhardy''
about that, Mr.. Editor it reads as if there
was one man (at least) on board who did not
lose his wits.
l accept his correction Of my statement re-
garding the name Of the island on which the
steamer subsequently stranded, and must
credit him for his great knowledge Of geogra-
ply.
AS to my assertions in connection with the
brandy bottle being ''unwarranted' and "un-
justifable" do not think I am alone in my
opinion on this matter. 1 thought this was a
matter on which all doubts had been set at rest
long ere this, and it seems to me, that the fact
of my being ON board qualities me for a iudg-
ment on this point.
To those familiar with the incidents in con-
nection with the attempted rescue of the
nineteen men in peril during the late storm,
"Justitia's letter must have come as q surprise
and his nom de plume a misnomer, a most
inappropriate title and the motive which
prompted him to his remarkable production,
can scarcely have been the desire to renderu unto
Cesar the things that are Caesars"

AFTER all the fuss that has been
made about the ''mortga ge-ridden"
people the census shows that only
about 20 per cent. of the homes of
this country are encountered by
mortgages. A very large proper
ton of these are in the new states
of the west where the people live
who never would have owned a
home had it not been possible to
cucumber it. The mortgage has
been blessing TO this country
rather than curse 1t has filled
the states of the west with home
owners and men ambitious to own
homes. -Leavenworth Times.
Under the label, Republican or
Democratic press, we find that
which represents the behests of the
money power, and the people who
read from Republican and Democrat
associated press, be it daily or
weekly, receive just such impress
sions as the one asserted by the
Leavenworth Times, which is being
clipped and published in such little
organs as the Garrett Eagle, that is

gans, that the mortgage BUSINESS
has been a blessing to this country
Neither. are we surprised to see 81
lie branded In the face of an asser.-
ton like the one above mentioned
for the purpose Of binding and de-
ceiveing the people IF it be true
as stated in the Leavenwoath Times
that 1.-The mortgage has been a bless
ing to this country rather than
curse" then in the face of the fact
that the people Of this nation have "a
mortgage debt of over $l2 900, 000,-
600, why is it that the Times would
have the people believe that such
a mortgage debt is all a humbug by
asserting that only 20 per cent. OF
the homes of this country are en-
numbered by mortgage If the,
mortgage business has been a bless
ing, then in the name Of common
sense, why is it that the Times has
tried to smother the blessing? Such
assertions only go to show that the
mortgage business is damaging the
Republican party; otherwise the
Times would have given the Repub
lican administration the full extent
of all the glory Of heaping on the
people Of this nation the great
blessing of a mortage debt Of $l2,
OOO, 900, 900.

For quite a while the Republican
press have had nothing to say about
John James ingalls,. But now they
begin TO see that the many things
he has been saying since he has
been laid out to dry is having a
damaging effect on the Republican

tice that some of the Republican
organs have commenced to prepare.
a whitewash that will make his
statements appear IN a different col
or in the eyes of an old Republican

out for lots Of ingalls, whitewash

will have to go the rounds OF the
