THEIR SUCCESS HAS BERN ENTIRELY BE - YOND PRECEDENT, -.and proves how greatly such an instrument was needed. Again and again the manufacturers have been compelled to double their manufacturing radii. ties, until they have been increased six-fold. From the most eminent of the musical profession, the most distinguished pianists, organists, composers, and mnsi, -Cal directors, the MASON a HAMLIN CABINET ORGAN'S have received an amount and degree ofcommendation never before bestowed upon any similar rons:cal in strument. More than two hundred and fifty of the most(emlnent musicians in the country have given written testimonials to the value of the improvements contained in them, and that they excel all other In. struments of this class. FIFTY TWO ,GOLD OR SILVER MEDALS, or Other highest Premiums, have been awarded to MASON A AA limn( for the important improvements effected by them, and for the SUPERIORITY OF THEIR INSTRUMEsTS TO ALL OTHERS. Constantly exhibiticg their instruments in compett. Zion with other, they have been awarded the highest premium in every instance. but three or four. For churches, Sunday schools, .k,c„ the ISiesoic do RAMLI27 Ce_artrivx Manaus are the instruments long wanted—of the very beet quality, abundant power, not too expensive, nor liable to get out of order. For private use, in drawing•rooms, &c., they are not less deli able, and are finding a place in the musical families of the principal cities. They are adapted to a wider range o f music than the piano, being better fitted for all sacred music and for Much secular music, while their quickness of action is such that the most lively, rapid music can be played '-on them. Then their cost is greatly lees, as well as their liability to get out of order. BRIEF ItXTRACTS FROM OPINIONS OF DISTIN GUISHED MUSICIANS: . • .

[The writer of the following lines, sixty eight years of age, widely known as "The Slave Poet," recently saw a respectable colored woman enter a passenger railway oar which had stopped for a passenger, but the conductor immediately compelled her to step off:]" Why wilt thou from the right revolt? I wish to ride not far; Why wilt thou fear the mild result, Nor bid the humble horses halt, Rut spurn me from , the car ! "You have the clouds to thank for myes cort," remarked Ben Adhem next morning over the coffee; "if there had been any 'ef fect' to-day, I should be out studying tree architecture in the naked woods. As it is, I am at liberty to. wait on you, you young sluggard, and to do the honors of the . Ate lier de Pon'-Am'n." We opened the front door. The sky was leathery and low. Almost under our feet on the steps were ;some bulbous objects covered with greasy fumitu.re damask. "You would take them for cushions," ex plained my guide, "but it would be a mis take to sit on them or fill them with pins. They are the heads of Bretons, and they are destined in the future to ache under hats of two or three pounds weight. Up to the tenth year or so the maternal tenderness of the fe male Breton defends them from the hat,and only suffocates them in round caps." But what brings them all here to the steps? Do they want to sell us their heads to bowl with?" "Oh, no; they are here on speculation. They barricade us until the only way to get out is to scatter them with coppers. You may try it if you do not mind the expense." I did not mind the expense, and I scatter ed the coinage of the empire at the utmost reach of my arm. The heads, which had previously been as stolid and passive as dumplings in a dish, scattered centrifugally in pursuit of wealth. "The open space in front, which von have made a theatre of fortune-hunting, is the Place of Pon'-Am'n. You find it triangular, and described by roads which remind yoe of the Fifth in the First Book of Euclid. At the base you observe our own hotel, and for the other side of the same angle the rival house,theMissWozenham's of our landlady. They are neighbors, and breast each other foot to foot, like rival capital letters at the bottom of the triangle. Our good dame put it once like a theorem, on my word. She was burying her plump little hands in the pastry, and she said, "If my Gateau du ./toi took as much butter as Miss Wozenham puts into her tack hair, then I would be first a prisoner, and afterwards a thief,when I came in with my little charge, par exens pie. But in that case one must apply a bill of mine to one of Miss Wozenham's,and find them equal. Which, ma foil is absurd." "Quite a demonstration," said I, laugh ing; "I suppose you answered 'Therefore, etc., Q. E. D.,' from mere force of habit." "No, I answered that she would be over heard and prosecuted for libel if she spoke so loud. The Lion D'Or is kept by three Lionesses, who are more like Tigresses. They are always watching, ' and trying to tine Madame for sellinga glass of cider after nine o'clock, or for sending off a carriage party without a permit from the gendarme rie. There is a lioness on the watch, as there always is." Looking up at the window indicated, I could see over the golden animal which erved to denominate the rival hotel, an old girl of thirty, handsomely dressed, with black hair, a beard, and a pair of angry eyes directed at us. "If you have not a perfectly clear con science, beware of her," said my counsellor. " She would pick a flaw in a saint with those iron eyes of her's." We passed along through the little Breton town. The place was almost solitary, but was now and then crossed by some dishe velled, strangely garbed peasant from the country, urging his oxen with their load of hay or of buckwheat, packed into a lum bering, round-bottomed oart. The triangle was bordered by the houses of the burghers. Most of them were of the ordinary bour geois type—a cube of white plaster, with dressed stone corners. giving them the ap pearance of being dove-tailed like carpenter work. A few were antique and picturesque. The apex of the triangle was formed by the bridge spanning a rapid little brawling river. "There is the Mayor's brother, fishing again for the big trout. If the water were clearer you could see it under the shadow of the bridge. It is a foot long, and has re sisted the seductions of quite a cloud of Ines, during a term of years.

Otherwise we are always care- Ail to - cultivate the gendarmes. You ob serve the Gendarmerie, adjoining the bridge. About noon you can see him issuing out of the door, a perfect dazzle, in full fig, and looking as unconscious as if he had been born with all his belts and cords on him, ready pipe-clayed." I appreciate the excellent protection which the Emperor has uniformly given to my life and property in every part of his do minions. Since I have been his guest, though occasionally a little too much go verned, I have been on the whole used like a ,prince. I therefore looked upon the Gendarmerie, the residence of his paternal influence and authority, with feelings of • grateful awe. The door Way was filled with a mob of sin gularly dirty children pulling each others' hair over a three-legged wooden horse. The window of the prthcipal office had a cord stietched across, leaving quite a heavy wash the fruits of the industry of the gendarme down at the river. The wife of a gendarme could be seen in the interior, eating from a bowl of potatoes, with her head lapped in a dingy handkerchief. Over these emblems of domestic life hung the tricolor in painted sheet-iron, in massive folds due to the ham mer and not to the autumnal wind which made it shriek within its socket. Upon it was the Napoleon eagle, about the size of a robin, and haughty in expression, tastily but insecurely perched upon a bow-knot, wrought in iron and painted in the three na tional colors. "How do you suppose they all agree in such a rats' nest?" asked my Mentor. Fa miliarity had bred in him a defect of that reverence which I myself experienced. We paused a moment on the bridge. On either aide was the glimpse of a beautiful river, brawling among huge rocks, , and turning an avenue of old mills. the nearest I could see the gothic monsters form ing the corner water-spouts, grinning dis paragingly as if they saw something very peculiar in the water. "The fourteen houses of Pon'-Am'n," says a local proverb, "and the fourteen mills." "I see you are beginning to yield to the enchantment of the view from this bridge," said Ben Adhem i "but I shall not let you pause. I feel the lethargy myself, but I have just enough reason left to drag us both away. I never met a river that was so diffi cult to cross. Yon long to grow fast, and gaze forever over the landscape towards the sea; but come, hurry up, before we are both of us benumbed; the water is singing like a Lorelei." We climbed the street that led up from the farther side, but still my head was turned back toward the fascinating water. It swam down to us from the interior country in a soft autumnal dream of bened c-ence, dividing the brown hills whose har vests it had nursed, and then with a hun dred busy hands refuting that haryeat for human use as it spun its easy way among the mills. Then, at the last mill, it tasted the salt, and away to the sea! "Come, turn your chin round before it grows fast. I am tired of defending you from the obstructions of the road, and you are losing every sight you pass. Here's the fountain of Saint Joseph, with one shoulder split off his wooden saintship. That is the boundary of the village on this side, and beyond you can see our grove on the bill." "Ah, there is a grove to your chateau, is there?" said I, with some condescension. "I suppose there is a ghost to the grove?" "Well, no ; we have all the reasonable comforts of a chateau of the second class, out not a ghost. Ghosts are not usually supplied except where there are exterior towers; ours is merely an inside staircase tower, and we simply have a murder. There was a shocking murder, oommitted through the villainy of one of the ancient lords of the castle, his instrument being his Breton servant. This man's act not meet ing the approbation of his native neigh bors, they seized their old comrade and aoisted him tip in the grove. He was found Jne morning with a magpie at his eye. It's A sufficiently dark story, but I am assured a true one." As we passed among the venerable chestnuts they ground their mossy branches together in the wild October wind. They ,eemed to be accusing each other of having 6upp9rted the assassinated assassin. through the trees I began to see an ancient court-yard wall, pierced with the greater and lesser portal of the olden time; weeds and young oak trees were waving lustily over the crumbling arches. "It is nearly noon," observed my friends and the old woman will have returned from the fields, and be baking crêpes in the an cestral kitchen. We will enter by that way.'l I was seized with eagerness to explore this curious feudal rain, and pressed rapidly forward in advance. I almost ran down a _ - - - curious little figure sitting in the sun in the open doorway. I think the smallest old woman I ever saw, and undoubtedly the whitest. Her :•kin was almost like a white kid glove, and was drawn into fine and innumerable wrinkles that radiated from her mouth and from her faded old eyes. She was spinning. The distaff was thrust into her apron string, and her left hand both supported it and fed the twist to the spindle, which whirled regularly from the other hand. Her hands were soft and palt, and the thumbs and fingers, when used in the action of twisting, were -quite deserted by the blood. I could see it flowing in an active pink suffusion away ftom the tips, leaving them quite colorless like frosted flesh, and returning in a rapid cloud where the pressure was in termitted. As to her face, it had a monkey-. 1811 air, and in its flannel cap of Egyptian device would have passed very well for a sacred ape from Thebes, • iShe sat and spun WELOTRiG COTTNTRY. silent as one of the Parcae, and eyed us ,irt telligtntly. At that moment I heard the ound of music coming down the tower from above; it was a fresh voice, a girl's voice, and.it overflowed down the twisted stairway of the tower, and it reached the old crone as she twirled the hemp. This is the simple verse I heard as I watched the mystical figure spinning: "The road of life is easier climbing, If toil beguile us as we climb, And with our busy fingers chiming The golden wings of Hope beat time ; When .1 was small I came to learn And sing this only, o'er and o'er ; Turn, little Margaret's spindle turn, Turn all day long, turn evermore, Turn, little Margaret's spindle, turn, And turn a lover past her door— Turn all day long, turn evermore!" I listened to the voice of youth, pouring this June-like inspiration into the palsied ear of old age. The seated image took no notice. I looked curiously at Ben Adhem. "Oh, it is the model up`stairs. When she is resting they make ner sing the ".F:asean de.Marguerite." As for the hag, she will expect a son or two." J. B. Lippincott & Co. have published a most interesting contribution to the history of the war.—lt is a complete official report and history of the United States Sanitary Commission, from the pen of Charles J. Stile, Esq., aided by Rev. Dr. Bellows, Mr. Geo. F. Strong, Treasurer, and Mr. B. A. Gould, Actuary of the Commission. The grand work accomplished by this famous Commission during the war will form a moat important chapter in the future his tory of the rebellion. Covering in its scope every remote corner of the land and enlist ing the active sympathies and co-operation of the loyal men.and women of America, from its commencement in 1861 until the dose of its operations,late in 1865,it occupied a most prominent position and exercised an incalculable influence for good in all that it undertook. The handsome volume, just published, is not only worthy of the high literary fame of its author, but is an admi rable epitome of a work, in the details of which hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens were intimately associated and in terested. Mr. StilliS's "History of the Sani tary Commission" will find its welcome way to thousands of libraries, private and pubic, all over the land, as a record of a great work, nobly conceived, nobly sup ported and nobly completed. D. Appleton & Co., N. Y., have just pub lished an interesting astronomical work by Professor J. Ennis, of this city. It is enti tled "The Origin of the Stars," and is a disquisition upon the origin of the heavenly bodies, the cause of their light and motion and other of those astronomical phe nomena which are so profoundly interesting to the Bolen title stud ent. Some of the author's theories are quite new, and he also supplies clear demonstrations of theories which have already been advanced, but not thorough • • analyzed. The subject is treated in a very clear and intelligible style and indicates an immense amount of research into this very difficult field of scientific knowledge and exploration. Whether all his. conclusions will be approved by the accepted authorities in astronomy or not; we are, of course, unable to predict, but there can be no doubt that Prof. Ennis has produced a most valuable treatise on the subject, and one that will attract no little attention F in the scientific world. It is for sale by J. B. Lip pincott & Co. Harper tit Brothers have published "The Great Rebellion," by Hon. John Minor Botta. It purports to be a narrative of the secret history, rise, .progress and failure of the rebellion. It contains a good deal of in teresting material for the future historian, but is more properly speaking, a history of John Minor Botts, of Virginia. After an elaborate treatment of the whole subject, Mr. Botts comes to the conclusion that somebody was to blame for the rebellion. He is not quite certain who it was, but who ever it may have been, bethinks they should be severely censured.- Mr. Botts enters the lists with Mr. Johnson for the credit of having done more for the country than any other living man and, regarded from his point of view, appears to have rather the best of it. His book is prefaced by an ad mirable portrait of the author. For sale by T. B. Peterson dc Brothers. Lee & Shepard, Boston, publish a capital work on Fruit Culture, by Charles R. Baker, of Dorchester. The increase of fruit culture in this country has been enormous, during the last few years, and the expe rience of an intelligent and educated nur seryman, like Mr. Baker, must prove of great value to thousands of fruit-growers. The whole ground, both in its scientific, theoretic and practical relations is covered by this volume, wbieh is rendered more valuable by the addition of numerous illus trations and statistical tables. It is for sale by Ashmead & Evans. D. Appleton & Co., New York, have pub- lished "The Court of Frederick IV." by Miiblbach. Professor Milhlbach has ac quired a high reputation as a writer of his torical romance by his "Joseph II." one of the few books published at the South during the rebellion. The present works is a most admirable picture of the Prussian Court during the reign of Fred erick:lV. and is one of the very beat histori cal novels of the present day. It will abun dantly repay the reader for its perusal. For sale by Ashmead do Evans. If American women do not learn to be good housekeepers and cooks, it will not be for want of instruction.

New Periodicals. Mr. Kromer, 403 Chestnut street, has re ceived the first number of Miss Braddon's new magazine. It is entitled "Belgravia," and is published in London, on the first of each month. It is a handsome sotavo of 130 pages, beautifully printed and illustrated with, four capital engravings. This new periodical is to be devoted to original arti cles in prose and poetry by a number of the beat romance writers of the present day. The first number commences a new novel by Miss Braddon, called "Birth of Prey;'' and the contents of the number generally are very attractive and readable. "Belgra via" starts with much spirit and enterprise, and will prove an active rival to the maga zines already in the field. Another new aspirant for favor, among the periodic% R, has just been started by Mr. T. S. Arthur. It is called "The Children's Hour," a title suggested by Longfellow's exquisite poem of that name. It is designed for the little people, and under such expe rienced editorship as that of Mr. Arthur, the design is sure to be well carried out. It is handsomely printed in quarto form of 32 pages, with numerous excellent illustra tions. It aims to instruct and improve the j nvenile mind and heart as well as to amuse, and as it is to be furnished as a price which will bring it within the reach of almost every household, we hope 'it may enjoy a wide circulation. The Atlantic Monthly for December is a number equal to the best that have preceded it. The poetry is particularly good. Emer son's "My Garden" is full of subtle thought expressed in musical, though irrezular verse, and illustrated by quaint conceits Mr. C. P. Cranch contributes a genial, health: ful poem, called "A Friend." But "The Sword of BoliVar," by Mr. J. T. Trow_ bridge, will impress everybody, because Of its applicability to a certain "humble indi vidual" in the United States. The opening prose article is a most readable one on the late John Pierpont, by his contemporary and friend, John Neal. The Hawthorne "Passages" are delightful as ever, and the clever story of "Katharine !Monte" is well sustained. Mr. Tuckerman furnishes a pleasant, Elia-like sketeh called "Through Broadway." The political articles, relating to this country, Austria and Borneo, are ex cellen . . the same may be said of several other articles of less length. The number is for sale by Dar. T. B. Pugh, in the BULLE TIN building, as is also that of Our Young Folks for December. EvEnv SATURDAY, for the week ending November 24th, comes to us with its usual budget of pleasant reading. The reader will find in this issue three additional chapters of [Kingsley's "Sileote of Silcotes," and fresh installments of,"Black Sheep" and "The Village on the Cliff." "The Great Markets of Paris" (first paper), translated from the French, is the leading essay, and furnishes us with some very interesting details. Two admirable poems, "In a Gon dola," from the Cornhill Magazine, and "The Swallows," from Chambers's Journal, com plete the number. INJUNCTION GRANTED AGAINST A PER ' FUMER—THE QUEST/ON Or TRADE MARES --k.UPREME COURT — CHAMBRRS—BEFORE JUSTICE SUTHERLAND—Edward T. Smith et at, vs. C. B. Woodworth.—An injunction has just been granted by Mr. Justice Suther land, of the Supreme Court of this District, in the above entitled action, whereby the defendant, who is a resident of Rochester, in this State, is restrained from selling any imitation article of perfumery known ae "Sweet Opoponax of Mexico." It is claimed by the plaintiffs that the defendant has manufactured an article similar in some re spects but very inferior in quality, to theirs; that he has exposed the same for sale, and, in doing so, he has imitated the trade mark or label which had been pre viously adopted by the plaintiffs as theirs. The injunction granted by the Court is a perpetual one, and directs that "the defen dant Woodworth and his agents desist and refrain from selling or disposing of, or making or putting up for sale," the per fumery in question, designated as "Sweet Opoponax of Mexico;" also "from in any manner using the name," &c., "on any boxes, bottles, cases or other things contain ing the same." The affidavits in the case are very voluminous, and the questions are likely to occupy the attentios of the Court for some time. The suit is regarded as an important one, for the reason that the law as to the infringement of trade-marks, labels, &c., is involved, and it is believed this action will settle some questions hitherto in doubt.

BY THOMAS BUCHANAN BBkD; Mead at the Reunion of the Officers ofthe , Army of the Tennessee.] When treason fed from heaven and - found its cell, The angel Michael, following as it fell,. Chained the great demon; but, as was fore told, The crawling serpent, cunning as of old, Slid to our Southern Eden, and, defiled Earth's sweetest daughter, and her sunniest' child ; Languid with luxury, our pampered Eva' Leaned to the tongue that could so well dee ceive, And eating of the ashy apple, fell— And fell—and foll—how very far she fell ! Till ye Stooped to her rescue; Men of the Tennas-- , see! Ye sizes of human freedom—overhead Your noble fathers, men have miscalled dead, Gaze from their skyey temples mid theaters And christen ye the noblest sons of Mars, And on their crystal battlements dispread Banners with bright inscriptions, where are said Words that forever shall be there unfurled : "We freed a nation—ye have - freed a world." Above your deeds, in their celestial glee, The bells of heaven ring out their jubilee Men of the Tennessee r Ring it around the universe, and show The great thought blazing in our Sherman's brow, Where, gazing from his eyrie,- far below He saw-the crawling, rattling human foe, And with his eaglet brood which naught could brook, With flashing wings, like banners, swooped and took The old Carolinian curse . within his claws, And crushed it into nothing. Without palm, Ye tongues of iron ring it far and wide, From all your belfries, Freedom, ring with pride: Ye silver bells in turrets of the sky, - Chiming the thoughts of angels, clear and high. Ye starry towers, where sentinels of God, Stand guardians of the truth—announce abroad The rising sun has struck your heights with gold And clothed you with its behold The angel Time, whom men have misnamed old ; Yet beautiful and bright as at ifs Prth, Writing great names upon the rounded earth, Which, like the iron highways yet to be, Shall grandly span all continents; and ye Are of them, Men of the Tennessee ! In the Hesperian gardens of the blest, Shines the great constellation of the West. The stars may fall, as on an autumn night, But these unsetting champions of theßight, With all the, uncounted nebulas of names, Which justice conjured, and which freedom claims, Are heaven's fixed orbs of splendor—them they stand, The grace and glory of our native land! Ana such are ye, Men of the Tennessee ! AMUSEMENTS. lifn. Dm i tri . BOOTH is still crowding the Walnut with the intellect and fashion of the city. His personation are as charming as ever.

The little fellow tried a number of remedies; all of which uhfortunately failed, so, bethink , ing himself a moment, he rushed to the house, procured a match and set the straw under the old hen on fire. The consequence was that the hen stopped setting, but at the same time the hen house was burned to the ground, and the Young America had a narrow escape from being smothered in the smoke. The stable and other buildings connected with his father's residence also came within an ace of being de stroyed. The remedy was a good one, but rather expensive. Better let the hens set.—Lafayette (Ind.) Courier. TEE schooner Sarah Jane, from Nevr York, arrived at Fortress Monroe, on the 15th.
