TIIE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, MAY 6, 18GT. THE STEIN WAY PIANO. The following appeared In Lal'rcsse Musicale, an Influential muBical journal In Paris: These piano-fortes furnish us with a specimen of American Industry and manufacture which leaves no room for Improvement. In the same measure that the boxes disappear, to make room for the articles to be exhibited, the astonish ment Is Increased, not only in reeard to the eye, but also for the ear. We do not hesitate to de clare, after having heard these piano fortes, that Ibey are real wonders of art and industry. We have just heard tbe Grand Pianos ex hibited by Messru. tsfcinway 4 Sons, and our surprise, we must coufe?s, was great. We always thought that a piano-forte of this kind, possessing such power and such majestic ful ness ol tune, could not be made subservient to facility of modulation, and variety of accents. Then aealn we were of oomion that euch pow erful pianos could not but have a hard touch. Nothing of the kind. But a still greater surprise has been in store for us. We have been compelled to admiration by a Square Piano, one of those instruments which have been scarcely in use in Paris for tbe Inst twenty year", but which are preferred in America; we are even toid tbat ninety-Bve out one hundred ptanos sold are of thir shape. If we had at first doubted that with such a piano one could create a sensation in Paris, our opinion soon underwent a complete change, after having beard this instrument. We can now easily understand the preference given by the Americans to these piano tortus, tor in Europe we can hardly realize what these Square Pianos are, as manufactured by Messrs. fcjtein way & Sons. We cannot too strongly uree our readers, arlihts as well as otoeri, but especially the pianists, to examine what we consider pcrlec tion realised in the art of pianoforte raanuUc ture. It is but just to add that the Parlor Grand, as well as tbe upright Piano Is in every lespect equal to the other pianofortes exhibited by Messrs. Steinway & Sons. We pioposo to give a detailed description of all tbe ingenious inventions due to thts firm, and at the same time to make special study of the means employed to obtain such results. For the present it must suffice us to say that the house of Stelnway & Sons, in New York, has justly occupied for the last ten years the highest rank in its specialty, and If it lias the privilec of beinc at the head of the manufacture of pianos in tbat country, it is because it has un derstood bow to give an impulse to this manu facture, and to bring the latter to the highest degree of perfection. CITY INTELLIGENCE. FOB ADDITIONAL LOCAL ITEMS 8KB THIRD r AO K.J Anothrk Magnificent Swindle Proposed "Tub Puol amd His Monky auk Hoos Pakted." Metis. Clark, Webster & uo doing business at No. 62 Broadway, New York, as bankers, managers, and utilitarians in general, appear Lo place upon this lime-honored maxim the most implicit reliance. No one can blame them for so dolDg, for 110 one will dispute tbe trulliiu.nees of the maxim, unless be himself belongs to tbe illustrious and numerous frater nity of fools. But Mebsrs. Clark, Webster & Co. should be careful lest they suspect some one of beluga fool who does not properly belong to the category. And when Messrs. Clark, Web ster k Co., a few days ago, mailed to several of tbe most prominent murcbants of this city the prospectus of a little scbeme which they are manipulating at the present time, they dis played a weakness which renders the advice above given extremely opportune. We have been favored by a friend, against Whom they thus Insinuated their belief Tu his lack of common sense, with a private view of the programmes Issued by Messrs. Clark, Web ster & Co. Among these is a handsomely dis played slip oi the width of two newspaper col umns, aud the length of two leet. It starts out witb the assurance that "The Bankers' and Brokers' Grand Presentation Entertainment will positively take place, as previously adver tised, on Tuesday, June 18, 18U7, at Cooper In stitute, New York;" with the further assu rance that the grand distribution or prizes will be conducted on the "Mu tual Benefit Princlp e," by a "pro-rata dis tribution of profits to the ticKet-holders." Tue capiial of the "Entertainment" is fixed at $l,2i7,148. To this 1,287,148 tickets of admission will be issued, at the insignificant price of one dollar each. The nature of the "Entertainment" proper is not disclosed, but purchasers are assured that the plan of presentation is "the fairest and most Impartial yet offered to the public," for the simple and satisfactory reason that there is "a prize with every ticket." The document tneu proceeds to state that "a number of the leading bankers and merchants of New York, in consideration of the great success which has attended many of tbeouari tnhiB nreaentatlon entertainments of the day, have organized themsulves into a company, with tbe view of inaugurating an enterprise which, while it shall return them a fair profit, shall offer greater advantages to ticket-purchasers than any yet presented; and which, being conducted upon a perfectly iegltimate and business basis, snail be free from tnose ob 1 ectlonable features which have characterized many of these enterprises," And as a positive guarantee that there will be no postponement of the "Entertainment," by reason of a failure to dispone of all the tickets, "aa association of tbe leading bankers and merchants" or New York have generously rnn tbe risk of enrich ing themselves by becoming obligated to pur chase such a may remain unsold on the day of tbe grand presentation. It may be of interest to know the nature of the prizes lo be given away at the "Entertain ment." Among them we find enumerated three In cash, of 7o,000, $60,000, and Jij.OOO respec tively: HOI others in cash, ranging in amount from J10.000 to 86, and footing up in theaegre vale JIOO.OOO; piauoa to the number of Ott, aud the value of $04,000; 218 melodeons, valued at S'28 645; 615 sewing machines, valued at 872,27a; full ets aud clusters of diamonds, of the value of 4101.150; 413 gold watches, valued at 878,31!); 815 silver watches, valued at 829,744; and divers other assorted prizes, of the total value of 'Asaii inducement to the purchaser of tickets, generous lennB are offered to clubs who will take tnem by the half-dozen, while equally libe ral terms are offered to persons ambitious 01 be .,.min uvantji rif the "Entertainment." - O - - . . , 4 We regret very much that our space will not permit us to give anything morethanthe above ?U-nirr outline of the projected "Entertain ment." We presume, however, that the manag ing bankers have advertised it sufficiently to dupe thousands of Ignorant people already; and uly- and jff, they n gains. thai, oeiore me ireHmnLiuu ui.uiva uu, win kt lll further increase tneir in-gone if ilia muhorltles of New York city are not " , . aware of tiie existence of this enterprise. It Is high time that tuey reoeiveu au iuu.iiug oi mill took the necessary measures to secure suppresHion, aud tbe punishment of the swiud Knii Imnken who are "managing" it. We trus iui. no neraon who reads this will be so utterly foolish as to invest in this scheme; butastlie fools are not all defunct at the present time, we have considered it incumbent upon ourselves to give tue miatr a muruimu vt-iiMiauuu Assaults.

T.ih 'Nortii PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD adver m another column an Important change ita schedule for summer arrangements, to ?D.,".?i. tvLlnosdav next. The Increasing irnnortance of the trade with the Mahaooy and lm.P.?IrV'iiJv. has demanded further ao- inimtdatlons. and t wo dally connections are eommtK uon auctions in the new Schedule , A cl e connection with Eastou. leaving Philadelphia at 6 1W P.. M. Is also la the Crcbltt to Animalr A Mrbtino for ITS Prevention. To adopt some measure whlcn would result in the prevention, to a great degree, of cruelty to animals, has of late ex cited considerable discussion and tbouscht. The torturing of horses by lash and club upon our public streets the infliction of all manner of baibarlsms upon the smaller animals the undue cruelty exercised lu our slaughter houses, where, in many cases, it is a cause of untold delight to Inflict tortures, and witness the death throes of the dumb brutes, are be coming of too frequent occurrence to be allowed to exist longer. Home time ago a measure was adopted which Cromlsrd good results, ami would have to day een fully curried out had It not been that the people allowed Inhumanity to bo openly prac tised without giving any information. The need of an association which will have for its object the prevention of all cruelty Is what hns long been needed; and for the organization of such a society a meeting was called this afternoon at the Board of Trade Rooms, commencing at 1 o'clock. At the open ing or the meeting there was a larce attendance of Indies and gentlemen. Ills llouor Mayor McMlchnel pn sided, aud Kicbard P. White, Esq., acted as Secretary. On taking tlieclialr. Ills Honor remarked the necessity or such a society; they exist in mny other States, and have been productive of great good. In his capacity as city magistrate many occurrences were dally coming under ills ob servation, and that, iu co-operation with the members of such an association, be would em ploy the pol ice force to carry ou t as far as possi ble the objectof such association. The following resolutions wero offered by the Hon. Mr. Phillips; XfHOtrrd, That It Is expedient to form an association, whose duty it shtill be, prudently and discreetly, hut vigorously and evidently, to aid la suppressing this evil. Jietolvfd, That a committee of fifteen persons be Bin oiiitud by Hi chairman of the meeting, tor tlio purpose ofrreprlng an art ot Incorporation formica an assocltinon. to be presented to the Legislature of Ibe hlale at Its next mslon. Krtitiv.d, That the citizens of Philadelphia here as sembled have witnessed for many years, with In creasing regret and pain, the cruelly to animals which Ts so frequently exhllilied In our street and elsewhere, aud that the evil has now risen to sncli a point as to require for Its suppression theetllctem action ot all humane and rlght.mlndud men. Jx'rsolvrd, That a committee of soven persons heap pointed by the Chairman, whose duly it shall be to prepare and print, accordingly to their own discre tion, a brii f and pertinent address, containing an appeal to our citizens, to co-operate in suppressing practice so unworthy of a cultivated and enlightened people, and repugnant to the civilization ot ton age. Hon. William A. Porter spoke on the subject of the resolutions, remarking that in Europe many sucli societies existed, In London no man was allowed to strike a horse in a cruel manner. Without the horse we could hardly conduct;our business; without him, we would be even worse than without our mauy ships that sail tbe seas. Now in this city there is not one law that Is preventive of any cruelty to such an animal. Often a horse, after hard labor all day, cruelly beaten, working throughout the twenty-lour liours, without a morsel of food, until late at night lie Is stalled, and has for his reward a small amount of poor hay. Not only that, but there Is a carelessness existing in the shoeing of horses, often the nails piercing the quick. Cattle that receive adrluk atoneof our Western cities, before transportation. often pas without anything to allay their thirst until they arrive at this city. All who have seen the mode of conveying calves from place to place, with their heads hanging over the sharp tail-board of the cart, could not have but observed the inhuman manner in which they wero conveyed along for perhaps Ave or six miles. Then, too, it has become a common sight, and it is a.sorrowful revelation, that the horses on our street rail roads are beaten cruelly, and sometimes lu the most inhuman manner. Tee question is now whether anything efficient can be done for its prevention. Shall It be said that a city of enlightened citizens can allow such an abomination to exist longer? Such a society. legally incorporated and co-operated with by ail our citizens, would be produo tive of great good. Let every man who is en gaged In this cruel work, be immediately arrested and have ituatice done him. Hon. Joseph T. Thomas spoke at length on the cruel treatment of railroad drivers upon the horses tbat draw the cars. The railroad companies know of this treatment. The Penn sylvania Legislature has a right to revoke the charter of any road that countenances this treatment, practised by drivers. And if they persist In it, let their charter be re voked without nnv "wiulutlon whatever. The gr. atPennsvlvaviaR iiroad.if ft would wink at such atrocities, its cnarter snould be destroyed as it would be in such a case. Severe lines and penalties should be authorized, aud such cases should also be subject to legal Jurisdiction in a court oi Justice, aud Imprisonment snould be Imposed. Take the lobster, one of the lowest oruer or animals, and eold-blooded, it uo doubt feels excruciating agony by having Us claws plugged, borne other mode should be used to transport them without suh cruelty. Hon. James Pollock spoke in substantiation of the preceding leiuaraa. We should act upon thii onhipct. onie.klv. viaorousl v. and decisively. I say pity that man's family the fathor of which will beat mercilessly any animal. Because such actions are demoralizing; tuey are accom panied with the foulest of oaths, aud develop all tue Wicaeu anil cruel pnssiiiua ui a uujjidvcu man's heart. The law has power to make a man treat kindly all animals, because they are of Ood's creation and are but dumb brutes. The question was put upon tue auoption or the resolutions, and they wore unanimously adopted. . , The committee to draft a charter are as fol lows: Messrs. H. Morris Wain, John Welsh, J.B.

Lancaster, who keeps a rectifying esta blishment in the rear of No. 1009 Otsego street, was brought before United Hlates Commistoner lllbler this morning, charged with Illegal sell ing of whisky. Mr, J, Byrnes being sworn, testified as fol lows: I called on Mr. Lancaster on the Uith of April, at bis rectifying establishment, in tie rear of No. 10M Otsego street, and asked him for his hooks, which I examined, and footed up pur chases and sales.' I found he should have on iiand nbout two hundred and sixty-eight gal lons. In the rectifying room I found fifteen full barrels of spirits and one partially full, and in an adjoining shed five full bar rels, on the following morning I re visited Mr. Lancaster's establiahment and found two barrels had been added to the five, making seven, which would amount In the agregnte to HnO gallons, and his books showed only about '208 gallons. I asked him in regard to thedixcrepHncy between the amount on band and tbat shown by his books, and lie replied there was a purchase of 600 gallons he had not entered, which would still leave a dif ference. I asked him in reuard to lie persons of whom he purchased, and he was unable to Mveany information as to their address; said they wero agents, and that he purchased for caKU. I asked him to whom ho sold. He said he knew nothing about them; that he sold through an agent whom he thought was a resi dent of New York, aud his name was Jones. 1 asked him if he had any bills, and he replied he bad not: the reason he alleged was that bis pocket had been picked. He was bound over In the sum of $1009 to appear at court, Mr. William M. Cooper enter ing security. Disorderly House Cases.

Repre sentatives irom Great Britain, Russia, Austria, France, rrusMa, Italy, lielciuni, ana from tne King of Holland as Grand Duke of Luxembourg, will meet to-morrow to determine the fate of a German ducby, and to decide whether the peace of Europe shall or shall not tor the pre sent be preserved. To-day oue hundred thou sand wormnar-men, deeply interested m tne question of reform, and dceoly dlssatisfled with tue measure now belore the llous of Caui roons, will assemble in Hyde Park, there iu tbe lace of heaven and be tore their iellow men to repeat their grievances aud to reassert their rights. The interest which would have attached to either the one or the other, had they occurred at a longer interval, will be dimin ished by the attention which will necessarily be given to each. Both, however, will take place. The Congjess will assemble, members will proceed to business, and, in all probability, before the shades of Tuesday eveninir have fallen, telegraphic wires will announce to all tbe ends of the earth what is tbe likelihood of an amicable adjustment. Reformers will gather in strength at the appointed rendezvous, and will make it plain to the world that, in spite of false iriends and avowed enemies, in spite of guoen, Lords, and commons, English workint; inen, however patient and long-suffering they maybe, will not much longer be denied, their rights. Our evcnini; cable despalcues will be full of interest. The public will naturally await their arrival with impatience. AT. X. Herald. SUMMER RESORTS.
