a rosebush that is given to peculiar

ten years ago. For a number of years
it bore handsome, large white moss

the bush bore both red and white flowers,
one branch having white and one red

THE TRUE FAITH EXPOUNDED.
An Extract from CleveIand's Speech Ac-
oepting the Nomination.

Never has a great party, intent upon
the promotion of right and justice, had
better incentive for effort than is now pre-
sented to us. Turning our eyes to the
plain people of the land we see them bur-
dened as consumers with tariff system
that unjustly and relentlessly demands
from them, in the purchase Of the neces-
raries and comforts of life, an amount
scarcely met by the wages Of hard and
steady toll, while the exactions thus
wrung from them build up and increase
the fortunes of those for whose benefit
the injustice is perpetuated.
We see the farmer listening to a delu-
sive story that fills his mind with adyant-
age, while his pocket is robbed by the
stealthy hand Of high protection. Our
workingmen are still told the tale, oft re-
peated in spite Of its demonstrated falsity
that the existing protective tariff is boon
to them, and that under its beneicient
operation their wages must Increase
while as they listen scenes are enacted in
the very abiding places OF high protection
that mock the hopes of toll and attest the
tender mercy the workingman receives
from those made selfish and sordid by UNI
just governmental favors.
We oppose earnestly and stubbornly
the theory upon which our opponents
seek to justify and uphold tariff laws

An Organ in the Tenth Century.

Wolston speaks of an organ con.
tanning 400 pipes which was erected
in the Tenth century in England.
This instrument was blown by "thir-
teen separate pairs Of bellows" Il
also contained a large keyboard.
There are drawings OF that period
extant which represent the organ as
an instrument having but few pipes,
blown by two or three persons and
usually performed on by monk.
The keys, which were played upon
by hard blows of the fist, were very
clumsy and from four to fix inches
broad.
About the end of the Eleventh
century somitones were introduced
into the keyboard, but to all appear
ances its compass did not extend be-
yond three octaves. The introduc-
ton of pedals in 1880 by Bernhardt
giving compass B flat to A-was
another important contribution to
the instrument. These were merely
small pieces of wool operated by the
toe of the player. Daniel Spillane in

A whistling Oyster.

The proprietor of a London chop
house, some years ago made fame
and fortune by the discovery of a
musical oyster a distinct whistling
sound came from Il newly opened
barrel of oysters, With e9gerness
he hunted for the cause, and found
an oyster which seemed to amuse it
selFby whistling. The innkeeper ad-
yertised it, and hundreds came daily
TO his hosJelry to listen to the musical
oyster In due time the oyster died,
and its secret died with it. 1t is sup
posed that the sound was caused by
the inspiration and expiration of air
through tiny hole in the shell. To
this day the inn is known as The
Whistling Oyster, Yankee Blade.
