A New Use for Old Pianos.

There came into my possession,
many years ago, a very old-fashioned
upright piano. We found place for
it in my study, more for the beauty
and quaintness of the case, which was
Of rosewood, and OF the usual excel
lent workmanship, than from any
hope of deriving comfort from any
sweet music the mellow worries might
produce. It was old, and it's time
and power for discoursing sweet
music were past and gone; try as we
would, by a new string here and
another there, it refused to send out
any but shrill and discordant notes,
and in despair we locked it up. And
so it might have stood for many years
to come, pleasant to look upon, but
utterly useless, had it not been that a
good many books were scattered
about the house and demanded case
While trying to reconcile ourselves to
! parting with the piano to make room
for the bookcase, the thought struck

The Boston Type Of Woman.

! had a friend from New York with
me in Boston who was a much disapI
pointed man: because he did not meet
the Boston girl wit h glasses, OF whom
he had read so much, or the literary
woman dressed in classical gowns.
The fact is,. that Boston girls do not
affect eyeglasses any more than do
the girls OF New York or Chicago Nor
does one meet the literary woman
with the proverbial classical gown in
either a Boston or Cambridge parlor.
The literary woman OF eccentric dress
or mannerism is as much q "back-
number" in Boston as she is in any
other city. Affection Of superior
knowlege or eccentric pronunciation
forms no more part OF @ Boston lit
erary woman's conversation than it
does OF the New York woman. Her
grammar is, as a rule, always perfect:
her answers are sometimes models OF
evasion, but in this she is not the su-
perior of the cultivated women Of any
other Of our large cities. The Boston
type OF q literary woman is, in tact,
more creature of the funny para
grapher's imagination than a reality,
She is not distinct in any sense from
her sister in other cities. She is simply
an American gentlewoman, and as such
she is perfection.

NEGROES GOING TO AFRICA.
Tennessee Blacks Have a Wild Emf
grafton Fever.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 16.-The negroes
in this section Of the south, principally
those in Arkansas, have contracted the
emigration fever again, and there is IN
exodus OF black men TO Africa. A des-
patch from Mariana, Ark. says that all
the negroes of that neighborhood are sac
rifcing what little property they have
with the intention OF going To the dark
continent. One carload has passed
through Brinkley enroute for New York,
whence they intend TO sail for their ulti-
mate destination. II seems as If the
scheme had been worked up by negro
agents who nave been canvassing the sec
ton for some time, for what purpose or
in whose interests is not known. Many
of the negroes owned small places and
several head of stock, and were, compare
lively speaking, in good circumstances,
but have sacrificed all for a few dollars to
pay their way TO New York. A promin-
emit planter purchased nineteen hogs from
one of these would be emigrants for ths
small sum of s..
