Before Purchasing n
Piano from Strangers.
Prof. F. E. Simeon, Agent of Messrs.
Hallett, Davis & Co., of Boston,
Dear Sir—It affords me great pleas-ure
to state that 1 have a Hallett, Da-vis
& Co. Piano, which I purchased 12
years ago, and which lias always given
me entire satisfaction. It has never
got out of order, nor has it lost any of
its tone, but is now a sound instrument.
It has not required tuning for live (5)
years; and notwithstanding I have re-cently
had it hauled more than two
hundred (200) miles, a part ot which
was over rough roads on an ox wagon
—it did not get out of tune or in any
way damaged.
Yours truly,
G. C. McGREGOR, M. D.

The society for prevention of
cruelty to animals in New Or-leans,

Gov. Bramlotte, of Kentucky,
was married a fow days ago to
Mrs. Adams, the widow of Col.
Thomas E. Adams, of tho late C.
S. A. The wedding was celebra-ted
in Louisville with a great deal
of eclat. Tho Picayune pays a
high compliment to the couple,
and we hope that the marriage of
the gallant ex-Governor will
change our luck in tho Library
Lottery, and that wo may bo ablo
to get off with that $250,000 in
the next drawing.
A Sunday school inquiry and
answer may be told as follows:
“Tommie Howell, can you tell me
what is meant by the word mir-acle,
so often used in the Bible
which you now hold in your
hand? ‘,Yes Miss Harvey, I think
I can. Ma says if you and Capt.
Smith, who was with you at the
Presbyterian pic-nic don’t marry
pretty soon it will be a miracle.”
A Death-Mask or Shake-speare.—
Scribner’s Monthly for
July will contain an illustrated
account of the German mask, with
the arguments in favor of its au-thenticity
as a death-mask of
Shakespeare. Among the illus-trations
are engravings of the
Kesselstadt Picture, the Terra
Cotta Bust (uever before engrav-ed),
the Stratford Bust, the Droe-shout
Engraving, the Chandos
Portrait, tho Stratford Portrait,
and four views of the Death-mask
itself. The advantage of the com-parative
study of these engravings
in determining the value and do-groe
of likeness, will be supple-mented
by the history and dc-scription
of each portraiture.

AT THE THEATRE.
We stood by the river togethc,.
And bent o'er the water side;.
And watched the play of the moonlight
That glittered adown the tide.
My dream of life was beginning—
For my dream of love had begun;
And the world was a garden of roses;
I plucking them one by one.
She was the daintiest creature!
That stood in the moonlight there,
With lace on her rounded shoulders,
And a purple gleam in lie.i hair.
And we built the airiest castles.
And whispered the usual tilings:
In short, 'twasthe same old story—
The vows and the changing of l ings.
But many a night, when musing
Alone in my bachelor’s chair,
I’ve thought, of the lace and the shoulders,
And the purple gleaming hair.
And a memory wakens within me,
From out of the long ago;
The low, deep sobbing, and ripple
Of that river’s ebbing and How.
Hush! there's the music beginning:
Yes, she married—a broker in stocks;
A ml—look at that stout old party—
That is she—in the opposite box!
Old Pomeroy, the Christian
statesman of Kansas, is working
hard to get out of that prosecu-tion
for bribery.
Miss Georgiana Putnam has
been slandered to tho tune of
about $50,000, so she avers, by
various New York papers. The
jury have not yet said what they
think tho damage to name, fame
and reputation of the fair Geor-gianamay
be.

The Pote—Even an Infidel!
would Kneel to Him—Thero is
something marvelously magnet-ic
in the atmosphere of this won-derful
Pope. I defy any man who
is a man to stand in that audience
chamber and not feel an instintive
desire to go down on his knees,
and’ of course, tho very next min-ute
down he goes. It is not nec-essary
to be a Catholic; it is not
necessary even to feel a particu-lar
reverence for tho Popo, as you
would for any other man the puri-ty
of whose life has never been
attacked by his enemies. It is the
indescribable something thatpos-sesses
you tho moment he enters
the room and holds youfasinated
so lqng as you are in his presence.
And then it doesn’t leave you at
once; you remember him with a
sense of common pleasure- It is
much like the spiritual elevation,
the delicious calm a fellow feels
after he has made a good confes-sion,
if you know what that is,
and probably most you don’t!
The Holy Father was not more
than ten minntes in our room, for
thero wero rooms full of other
folks anxiously waiting his ap-proach.
To one he gave his ben-ediction
and passed on; to anoth-er,
a General of distinction, he
spoke rapidly and with great
spirit, and yet he spoke to this
man of war as if he was speaking
to a child, a son who had merited
his father’s love, and it was charm-ing
to witness the intercourse.
Some of the gentlemen were in-
Irodueed by tho proper officer,
who learned from their official
documont their nationality and
the few items relating to them
which might intorost his Holy-ness.
Then came mv' turn. Be-fore
my prosentatfon I was imme-diately
reconi zed and with a twin-kle
in his eye and a gracious fa-miliarity,
he leaned on ray should-er
and said to niy companion,
whom ho greeted cordially: “Ah
this an American!” I was never
so flattered in all my life. —From

Bar Resolutions.—The follow-ing
resolutions, passed by tne Gal-veston
bar, we think commend
themselves to every bar in the
State, and we would especially re-commend
them to the considora-tion
of our bar, and suggest that
similar resolutions bore would re-dound
to the intorost ot both
lawyers and clients:
Resolved, As the sense of this
meeting, that when causes are
reached on the peremptory call of
the docket, and the attorney for
either parly shall state in open
court that the particular case is
litigated on tho merits, the oppos-ifig
attorney will consent to such
cause being passed for setting at
the bar mooting for that purpose.
And further resolved, That only
such eases as are litigated on the
10veiling Dispatches.

of the Cuban republic and
Maximo Gomey appointed his

Queenstown, Juno 17.—When

this evening a large and unruly
mob had gathered on the dock
awaiting the appearance of Henri
Roeheport . who was generally
known to be onboard. As Roche-fort
passed down the gangway he
was immediately recognized by
the crowd, whoroceived him with
hootings and exeitemont and made
a rush for him as ho landed.
The police surrounded. Roche-fort,
who it was feared, would
have been lynched, but for thoir
protection. An intensely excited
mob, pressing forward, hooting
and yelling followed the French-man
to the Queen’s Hotelf From,
that place the police escorted him
to Cook, where only passengers
were admitted. His arrival at

Lina Wagratz, a daughter of a
modgeately wealthy merchant of
Moscow, tins been sentenced to
six years solitary confinment for
a romaniie crime. At one of the
theaters Levina Korsacfey was a
performer bn a wire suspended at
a considerable height. She was
pretty and coquettish, and among
those whom she attracted was
Lina Wagratz’s lover. Lina was .
mado madly jealous by the flirla-tions,
and deliberately planed a
cruel revenge, Through her lover
she formed the acquaintance of-
Levina, and* thus became a fre
quenter of the theater during the
rehearsals. One day she went
slyly whero the wire upon which
the performer walked was fasten-ed,
and cut it in two with a pair
shears. The ends she fastened
slightly together, Joavihg the
whole apparently'in good order.
At night Levina confidently step-ed
out on the wire, which gave
way under her feet, lotting her
drop to the stage floor. Her legs
were so badly broken that she
will be a life-long cripple. Lina
was at onco arrested, tried and
found guilty, and tho severe sen-tence
is regarded in Moscow as
not exceeding justice.
