Leather Coxered Piapo..

A decided novelty in the way of piano
casing-the invention Of a Milwaukee
music dealer-is on exhibition in the
University building, Broadway. After
several years Of study and experiment
the inventor hit upon leather as the most
attractive as we'll as the most durable
article for incasing pianos. The instru-
ment was built in Buffalo. The color Of
the leather selected for the first speci-
men instrument was rich black, hand
somely embossed, giving the impression
Of exquisite carving. Not only does the
instrument thus incased present most
attractive and dignified appearance. but
it has the advantage Of being something
in finish that cannot be marred or

THE SLEEPING KINGS.

The breath that swelled the bugle blast
Or woke the warcry's stormy thrill,
Though cold the breasts it kindled LAST
Ia heard in freedoms anthems still.
Our sacred slain In death they won
A cause whose justice never dies;
And all our land from sun to sun
is radiant with their sacrifice
First heroes of final strife,
The proud degrees of fame they fill;
Ennobled from the files of life
To kings by right of brave good will
Each rules in sleep a conquered realm.
We ask not here what pillowed head
Wore corded hat or feathered helm.
They all are crowned among the dead.
We own our sway, our homage decks
With offerings sweet their chambers
green,
Their scepters touch our reverent necks
As round their silent thrones we lean.
No tears for them. Imperial yet
Their honors bloom with rich increase;
And all nations love is set
To guard their palaces of peace.
Bring tribute to their perished prime,
Their country loss, our freedoms 8 gain
And, wreathed with fairest flowers of time,
In glory let them rest and reign.

of his neck that sent terrible shivers
through his whole body.
Springwell declares with an express
sion that is indubitable evidence of his
honesty that he will never forget this
awful ride till the last moment of his
life. The sensation accompanying this
mad flight he says he is powerless to
describe There was not only the horri-
BILE thought that he was in the power of
the supernatural, but other emotions
that he says no language can ever por-
tray were concomitant. His very soul
was swayed by their intensity and
seemed to be in a shadow of something
inexpressibly terrorsome and ghoulish.
On he few, and he could make out
shadowy something dancing before him,
something vague Of outline and white
in color. 1t danced now here, now
there, and he felt rather than saw that
it was mocking him. On in the leader
ship of this phantom he flew. He cross
ed the Belt line tracks with bound,
then felt he was slowing up. But still
he kept on until the curve that Della
ware avenue takes before it reaches the
culvert where the Park road passes over
it. Ahead he could see the white SHIN
mer of an electric light illuminating its
dazzling circle beneath it. He felt the
icy hands that had never relaxed their
pressure from the moment he had first
felt them loosen bit of their grip.
He was regaining control. But the
machine seemed to be dragging some
thing behind it. He felt he could now
turn and see the ghostly monster behind
him. He craned his head a bit, and at
that moment he felt terrible blow
over the head Stunned, he dropped
from his wheel and lay on the pave

the thing behind him as something too
inexpressibly monstrous to attempt to
portray.
He lay on the pavement for some five
minutes, when Zeiler came up. He was
riding like mad Zeiler stopped when
he saw his friend and helped him to his
feet. When Springwell told his story,
at first Zeiler thought he was joking,
but he was finally convinced from the
look of abject terror in Springwell's
face They revisited the place next day,
Springwell unstrung and hardly able to

the power Of the something to where he
was hits exactly three miles and few
rods over
Springwell wrote to the man from
whom he bought the wheel, and he re-
ceiyed an answer that is certainly queer.
The dealer said that man brought the
wheel in in good shape and asked a
very small price for it, and that he, the
dealer, thinking it had been stolen,
would not buy it, The man swore it had
not been stolen, and offered to let it re-
main there until he was satisfied. He
had kept it through the winter and new

sold it.
Springwell is at loss to account for
the strange occurrence. He is utterly
unable to say what could have been the
cause, save on the hypothesis that some
man was murdered while on it, and that
it has thus become haunted. However
that may be, the fact remains that the
