that they were bathing-houses, used by the
people, mostly Jews, who resort here, as to the
Tunisian Newport, for sea-bathing. Just be::
'..yond the tents was a large house, painted red
,and-brown,'built on piles driven into the water.
Thid is the summer palace of theregning Bey,
concerning , whom we heard frightful stories
; 'before we came away—as that he cuts oil
Lea,ds and 'piundeis right and left; oppresses
.the people to, madness, and does all such things
• as .!an Eastern potentate ought to do according
'to ihe received acoounts—that be has many
wives•and no children, and poisoned his brother
With a:Cup•of coffee: Whether these stories are
trite or false we do not know, but being poeti
cally inclined; we determined to receive them.
Coming around a , i rudely-constructed mole
or breakwater, we entered a canal which runs
through Goletto, or the port, and landed. This
town of Goletto is. built on a tongue of land
running down. between the bay and a large,
shallow lake, through which lake the canal ex
tends to Tunis, eight or nine miles distant, on
its farthest border.- Goletto is made up •of
some respectable barracks, indifferent-looking
houses,.French cafes, and a fountain. As we
..ment ashore we• observed a party of men at
work sprinkling the street by the primitive
.method of filling rough earthern vases with
water from the canal and slopping it around
on the dust. These .• poor fellows had each a
; big chain. made fast to their ankles and carried
thence to the 'waist. They were fastened to
gether two and two, and clanked their ebsinc
- harmoniously as they moved about. We were
told that they were working Out their taxes—a
poll-tax being levied.:'eterY once in a while,
-- and - thoSewho - tu,o - nimble or unwilling to pay
ikbeing forded into the public service and re-
tained- there until the public claim is satisfied.
And here we may remark that while at Tunis
ra saw but a. single blacksmith shop, and
there men were engaged making fetters!
The,Bey is • said to have little to do with
„public business, trusting it all to his Minister,
whiis responsible to' nobody save the Bey,
and, therefore, occupies an onascrailable posi
tion, since no person can approach his master
without his permission. He was cited as a
strihing illustration of the almOst ludicrotts
Jammer in which wordly rewards are some-
times.meted out. From being a nobody in
point of_ social position, wealth or intelligence,
be has become a very important somebody. He
has amassed enormous wealth, and is said to
"be worth" 150,000,000 francs! With abso
lute power over the lives and properties of 3,-
00,000 of people, we could see no reason why
be might not " be worth" ten tires as much,
At Tunis we could not see what is facetiously
termed the " Administration of JUstice," it not
being the proper day. But we were told that
it is summary. For example, a man is brought
in accused of theft. In a moment he is con
-Octet], is taken out, and the offending hand
-41opped off!___Then _follows _a, discrepancy_ in
-
statements; one man telling us that the vie
tim m:skes the best of hiS - Wriff6' '''''''
- for staunching the blood and dressing the
wound, while another said that the surgical at
tendance was provided by the Government, as
the object of the punishment is not to destroy
life, but to.save propertylo its rightful owners.
Itmay beas well, however, to get to Tunis,
before telling what we saw an hear( t sere.
At (j,oletto an English-speaking Maltese °LB
iously procured us a carriage, for which we
were to pay twelve and a half franc—sthat
being,as ;we afterwards learned, two and a half
times the ordinary price. We had some doubts
about the horses lasting for an hour, and more
doubts about the carriages holding out. But
we mounted and got under way ; drove past
With standrin the middle of
wain street; through a gate in the wall of the
fortifications; between two gardens, looking
cool and refreshing, just outside of the gate,and
thence on the dusty road which runs around
:the border of the lake. _Tunis, as has—been
said, is situated at the farthest end of the lake
from the sea—abont eight or nine miles by the
canal, which runs across in a direct line, from
Goletto, and about twelve -miles by the road,
which runs around the border of the lake: As
we left Goletto we saw that we were on an im
mense plain, probably twenty-five or thirty_
miles broad from the bay to the mountains.
Of this plain our guide told us was
31annibal's battlefield, and ' here Scipio
Africanus -won - his laurels. And it
seemed at the season of the year when
weWere-there that 'the very battle-field had
teen slain, so dead did everything appear at
first. One or •two outlandiSh-lookirig cattle
were trying to feed on the parched, sage-look

'with:horns of prodigious length, which curved
over the shoulders; and :the head

approaching us which . excited a momentary

Man, who carried a gun of primitive - pattern,
seven or 'eight feet . long, 'slung . acroas" his
shoulders. The Major, w•ho is learned in guns,

bad shots, since the'i,hirds are not at altwild.
But speaking 'of military posts brings back the
reflection that tlie army ought to be dangerons
to its own people, if not to its foes. Our. guide
infortned us that the soldiers had mot beenpaid
{for two years. There are twenty thousand of
them, and they are promised three : francs per
month; but as they do not receive it they are
fed by the government, and clad-;—with clothes,
light, inexpensive, and 'appropriate to 'a warm
climate'. An army officer whoni we met. at,
Tunis informed us that his pay is fourteen
francs a mouth, and he wished he could get it!
Continuing still, on the . desolate plain, which
lies so low that . a strong Wind from the south
or east might drive the water of the lake'over
.it for a lone - 4jopee—as seems to be the case
from'the nuinigy of tracks for wagons ever so
fir inland—contirming OR this plain for some
time longer, we hauled up' at a sort of half
way house, where horses could drink (and so ,
could men if they were very thirsty, or not at,
all particular). Here we had an opportunity
of observing the method, of drawing water for
irrigation. Ajaded-looking mule, with wicker
caps tight over his eyes to keep him from be
coming dizzy, or because it was the custom, or
for some other reason, or for no reason aka—
this mule was harnessed to the end of a long
pole, and walking round and round, turned
the windlass. An endless straw rope,
. to which, at intervals, 'earthen jars were made
fast, passed over a wheel ; and as the jars came
up, they emptied part of• the water they had
dipped out of :the well into a trough, and the
rest fell back, to be redipped and returned un
til it happened to fall into the trough. Gutters
conducted some of the water to the horse
trough,and the rest into the garden, where it
was' divided into rills and drank up by the
thirsty soil.. The proprietor of the establish
ment IS an enterprising Italian, who tried to
sell us birds, and, in fact, everything that we
saw, save a pigeon in a cage, whereupon we'
offered to, buy the pigeon at a moderate price,
but he promptly declined selling that, and left
us thereafter in peace. He is evidently enter
prising,but unless he is very enterprising he'll be
bankrupt in less than six. months.
Returning to the carriage, from which, by
this time, a door had' been shaken, we con
tinued our way. Although the ,plain was as
desolate as ever, the scene became more lively.
Carriages began to pass us ; mules and don
keys, with chair-like saddles, and solemn-look
ing, bewrapped and turbaned figures sitting in
them; women veiled in black up to the eye's
from below and down to the eyestrain above,
'and sharp black eyes flashing through the slit
between the veils—gave a curious impression of
having reached the country of the Arabian
Nights after it had gone to seed. A cloud of
dust ahead, and the Major struck up "The
Camels are coming;" and come they did, not
the camels of poetry or the sleek, well-fed
camels of theLeircus 'of my boyhood, but lean,
- ungainlyorrfjlooking creatures, with the sad,
funereal pace and expression that always moves
a tender• heart to pity. They appeared half
starved, walked as though they were lame, and
showed great sores, around which the flies
buzzed. And now we were among the olive
'trees ; • old, gnarled, the centre of ,the
trunk all - rotted out; the trees with absolute
, unanimity canting away ' from the sea as
though, accustomed to bow before the blast.
But they are vigorous yet, and are hanging
fuller of young fruit than any we have seen in
Europe. - -Sheep, hogs, e mels, carriages, don--
keys—or at least donkey legs appearing beneath
huge bales—stray Arabs and olive trees multi
• ply fast, and presently we observe some per
sons turning up a patch of the dry, sandy soil
with an implement shaped like a tree root.
Here is a well, the curb resembling that of
Samaria in Sunday-school picture-books, and
beyond it, on the right, the , mountains swell
out grandly from the plain, green with olive
trees. In front of the' sinking, 'snit we see a
ong ague net, sustainedbiflofty arches, cross
high over a deep valley from mountain to
mountain, telling the traveler, 'while still'far
away, that water is thus brought into the city
from a mountain seventy mileS distant. We
- come -to a wall-- around -which . ‘ combatants
gathered two thousand years. ago.. About dii
we catch a glimpse of towers, roofs and rickety-
looking gableS. The driver gives a "whoop"
and cracks his whip; we'are hurled through a
• crooked gate, and are in the city ,of Tunis. •
Arrived in the - - cith-whichifrom a distance,
as it rose _white _and_ glistening_ on a :gentle
swell, looked beautiful in the decliniiig snn,
we found it'a• filthy tumbl6-down place, in
semi-ruinous condition ; as thongh the com
batants of two thousand years 'ago had, taken
it and no repairs had been made since. • We
passed many:walls of houses; and courts filled
with rubbish or used as camel and donkey
yards. , Arabs, singly or in • groups, lay around

a guide; and • started out, for a Tuilish cafe to •
see the Haschish smokers, of whom we had
heard as a sight worth seeing. 'We
. were, however,'; disappointed in our ex
pectations ;. • for, ; aiter,.. going a few
squares, we heard a little, and•the guide con
, ducted its hastily bark--to our hotel, saying
thatit was unsafe to he out after - bugle-call,
andthat all the, European Consuls, as well as
the American Consul, bad issued circulars . ..to,
their people warning i,to remain 'indoors
after nightfall. The guide • added that the
day before the Turks. bad ,killed a Jew, and
that day_the Jews had killed a Turk in retalia
tion. The hotel proprieto;. , however,lWore
that the guide was a coward, ,that .the town
was always safe for Christians; and his son, a
young man of about twenty-two, should go,
with us. As we had only one night to spend
/in the place, and wished very much to see a .
Turkish Café, we put ourselves under the
direction of the hotel-keeper's son ,and sallied
out again., • , . •
The streets were. silent and deserted save oc
casionally a prowling ..dog, or some houseless
vagabond who lay stretched across the narrow
sidewalk, sleeping in the moonlight • With his
head down hill. We 'passed through narrow
streets which, for , squares ' 'and , squares, are.
arched over at the height of one story and where
is the Bazaar in the day-time.. As we came
out from under thearches we saw the flicker of
a torch around the corner. Our guide told us
that we had before us a "little hotel." A long
tin candlestick with an iron spike at the en,l
was stuck into • the pavement. A small lamp
placed on the top threw grotesque shadows on
the wall as we gathered around.. A few loaves
of coarse bread were lying-on the door step of
the closed house,wbile a small portable brazier in
which were a few white asheS from a fire, long
since ' extinguished, told' us how coffee was
made.. It was a rude, primitive affair, beside
which the proprietor lay asleep, well knowing
how to keep that hotel; interesting to one who
had time to.contemplate, it in the moonlight,
and trace the rise of our present gigantic es
tablishments from this humble beginning. As
we could not find a Turkish cafe, there was
nothing more to see, unless we would see a
Jewish cafe, but this, too,,was closing, and the
sight of a "mixed multitude" of all colors,
lying higgledy-piggledy on the floors and
benches, was simply disgusting. So, after a
scup of coffee at the French cafe, we . returned
to our hotel, and went to bed, but not to sleep,
for reasons that are not pleasant to remember
and need not be told, since cleanliness seems
to be a forgotten or discarded virtue in Tunis.
The next morning our guide conducted us
to the Bazaar. It is held in the streets above
named; but they appeared' narrower and
crookeder in the day-time than they did at
night. We observed that the arches are mostly
brick, with holes left at intervals.in the top for
light and air. 'Where the covering is of wood,
it is, in a very dilapidated condition and threat
ens to tumble down on people's heads some
fine day. The:. place was thronged with tur
baned Turks; • Arabs, Moors, Jews—baggy
tronsered, gilt-jacketed, and burnoused. The
flaunting parti-colored silks, satins, jackets,
burnouses, gay-colored shoes, red caps, silver
mounted saddles, and all the articles
named in the Arabian Nights, gave
a tout ensemble really gorgeous. The
shops are the so-often described little square
poles, so small that the proprietor sitting cross
legged within ,can 'reach every article in it. -
At the entrance and outside the counter are
two seats; one on each side, and capable of
bolding two persons each by a little squeezing.
On these seats customers sit while making a
bargain. This . "making a bargain," is, As I
had often read, a tedious business; generally
beginning with a demand for four or five
prices, and when the proprietor is tired of
coming down, he asks for an offer and then
tries to bid up on it, no matter how liberal it
may be—on one occasion ludicrously asking for :
more 'when an offer , tad been made for a fez
cap than he bad demanded - foe it iff the first"
place. One thing that we observed was peculiar.
A shop-keeper, sitting cross-legged in his
stall without any customers, settled himself
down to read a book. Just at that moment a
veiled lady, followed by two servants, came to
the stall . to make purchases. But the proprie
' for declined to Sell or even look to see who was
there. He continued to read in a tone louder
than a whisper, and motioned the fair lady and
servants away. The guide said the man was
reading the Koran as a part of his devotions,
and, therefore; would not be disturbed. I
state his explanation, but do not vouch for its
correctness. The principal articles in the-Ba

As Weleft 'the Bazaar w e observed . a graup
of idlers, more lively than usual,about the front
of aluttive café. Joining them,we found that
the centre of attraction was - a little squatting
figure of a, man, - whose garments
rags, over which were strings Of large beads
wound around . the 'neck, 'over the shoulders,
,and under the arms, and crossing on the breast..
His arnis 'were circled from the wrist nearly to
the elbow with Heavy Ongs, flattened • out on
'One side and inscribed with Arabic characters.
His turban:was very dirty, and he. had .a long
hltuiderhus slung across his 'shoulders. Ills
fingers worked uneasily about the rudely-carved
hilt of a savage-looking knife or dag,er, which
was stuck into his leather belt, and. his piercing
black eyes snapped as they roved from face to
face of the byitanders; reminding one of a
cornered rat. We were informed that he was
a - karaliont from the deiert, and as great•a cu
riosity to,the Tunisians as to us.
Turning away, from the Marabout,we found
ourselves involved in a crowd •of people who
were all pressing towards the Bey's palace.
Carried along with the Mass, we began to dis
tinguish the noise of drums and asthmatic bag
pipes ahead of Just ; then an inequality. of
the ground gave us . opportunity :of over
looking the' scene,' and we Observed in the van,
many silk banners and flags having crescents,
stars, drawn swords and Arabic legends in
scribed on thein, waving over the variegated
heads - clad in turbans and -red caps which
moved and nodded and swayed to and fro in
the press of the crowd. Footmen and horse
men in prtimiscuous throng followed the music,
while we brought up the rear among the vaga
bonds. Presently, coming to an open space by
the palace ; we. went around to the head of the
procession to see it pass. First came a huge
Turk, with his', outer garments • tucked up
about his waist so as not to impede his • move
ments, carrying a beautifid banner of silk,
which waved out gracefully in the breeze, dis
playing red, yelloW and white 'stripes, with the
crescent in a field of blue. Then came a
couple of drums like cheese-boxes, vigorously
beaten to drown the noise of the shrill-toped
pipes, which, in the upsiar, gave at unceftli
sound ; then another banner, with a naked
sword represented on it; more drums and
pipes; more banners and shouting, 'and then
the chief feature, to which all the rest were
accessories; seven or eight dancing dervishes,
forming a ring, with arms twisting around
arms, and all faces turning within towards each
other. As they held fast one to another ;
they threw their heads back and
forth with vigorous jerks. This ac
tion, long-eontinued, had distorted their
features and their puffed andhloated faces gave
the impression of men under au attack of
apoplexy. A dirty foam was dripping from
their thick and swollen lips. They danced,not
accordingto pipe or drum, but, long since be
yond the power of perceiving time or tune,
according to the necessities of the case, or their
own sweet will. It was a disgusting spectacle,
and we turned• away half sick. "There is
something devilish about these people," . said
- Boody, and we - all agreed with him. They
looked devilish and they acted'devilish., Virtue
is well-nigh unknown among them. Their
conscience seems to have taken the wrong side,
and this sorest evil that can happen to man is
driving them down to irretrievable ruin. The
women are unchasteahemen profligate; Many
times were we reminded of Genesis xxxviii.,
14, and the.story connected with it. lilt was
of such elements as this that the society Of
modern Europe andAmericd , has teen made,
Christianity has won a triumph worthy of
Almighty God.
As our informants ivere French, perhaps
their statements cannot be relied upon. `_But
they represent that the people are eager to
ome under the dominion of the French, and
the most eager are the natives of the country
. who best 'know its present wretched condition.
Even their social life is now interfered with;
for they are forbidden by the present govern
ment to drink more than three cups of Coffee a
day. The French deserve the thanks of the ,
civilized world for what they have done in Al
giers, and they will double the obligation if
they will do the same for Tunis.

PIANO TOIICH.
Often has the question been. asked among
Mat
ences of an artistic education, correct concep
tions, and thorough technique, so many pianists
fail of eliciting that amount of appreciation
and praise of which one would certainly
imagine their abilities and-ellbrts to be-worthy:
Fine pianists come to this country, fine native
pianists we have anions us, whose study and
perseverance have been excessive, whose train
ing has been the best, and whose, knowledge
of musical art in all its branches
is very great; yet their success as
performers has been alinok always so limited.
that the fact has ceased to excite comment;
and scores Of the Most deserving pianists may.
be found in some of our large cities whose repu-
tation does nt - extend outside o t — ie r own
circle of personal"friends. The most perfect
technical correctness and limitless manner may
be exercised by a pianist, yet, whether he plays
the delicate beauties of Chopin, or executes the

of a piano of the present of producing an
.ex

__means of, a , simple
method of the kind of force employed upon
the keys, ratherthan the amount of force so
tisetl. When this talent (fer it certainly is a ,
talent) has brought to bear upon it. the refining •
influences of correct and , persistent study,
what wonderful proofs are seen ofthe truth of
what we have said !' As an example, look at
the astonishing eflbcts produced by Gottschalk.
Although his compositions may be called trash
and his want of depth assailed, this fact remains,
that his ellects,,by means of a studied touch
assisted by a most acute knowledge of the
uses of. the pedals,areniarvelous, and critics and
artists, amateurs and connoisseurs all agree in
saying that lia . piano is not an instrument, but
an orchestra. The delicate pianissimo, the
gradual crescendo, forte, and fortissimo are as
marked as are those of the Philharmonic,while
at times a tone so like the human voice is pro
duced, in eontrast to the most delicate stac
cato accompaniment, that, one hardly realizes
that the piano alone is what pro
duces such beautiful . results. But Gotts
chalk has made this a study of years, and his
performance, for that very reason, has been
frequently regarded as a personal 'peculiarity of
style. This idea is wrong. The resources of
the grand piano,which Gottschalk first brought
into such perfect use,,are 'destined to be uni
versally emiiloyed.. The critical mind looks
for son/ in a musical performance of any de
scription, but particularly in solo performances.
An accomplished vocal artist "is dead
without. .it, ..and a cellist or violinist
is no favorite unless he makes us
realize that be feels what he plays. A pianist
I must now be governed by the same rules.
Strict correctness of execution and ObserVance
of the style of a quarter of a century ago will
not answer; and the day is not, far distant
when the hard-Working, unappreciated pianists
of sound education will-ascertaiu-thefactlhat
our grandfathers did not knew everything, and
will change their style accordingly.

The' following, important information has
just been promulgated from the 'office of the
Treastirer: ,
I'I:EMERY. DEPARTMENT, TREASURER'S
OFFICE, WASMI2V3TON, Oct. 26, .1860.—The
'following regulations are adopted for the dis
tribution ,of the new issue of. legal-tender
notes, know as "United States notes, issue of
18430." ,
I. Assistant treasurers of the United States
and designated depositaries of the United
States, other than national' banks, will be facia
ished With the new notes, wheneverit shall ap-,
pear that they are in need of such funds, and
there shall-be a sufficient supply for the pur
pose on hand at this, office. '
They will, however, continue to pay out •
such notes of the former issue, which are fit
for' circulation, as they may have on hand or
shall receive, returning to the Treasurer only
such as have been called in by previous circu
lars from this office, and such as it is desirable
to exchange for ':other denominations.
They will use the new notes only in their
regular payments, and in redemption of such
currc,n4-as ,they are required by existing rd
gulations to redeem, and will not exchange
them with banks or others for other notes
which they are not required to redeem, but
will refer all' parties desirous of making such
exchanges to the , Treasurer of the United
States. They may, however,
receive deposits
of United States notes of the former issue, on
account of new notes to be ordered from this
office, and issue certificates of deposit therefor,
as stated below, crediting the amounts so de- i
posited to the Treasurer's general acanthi, as -
transfers
transfers of funds.
IL For the present notes of the new issue
will be furnished by the Treasurer to all other
applicants only on the following terms; , ; s 0
1. In exchange for $10; $5O "convertible
issue," defaced and mutilated United States
nate of the former iSsne,defaced and mutilated
fractional currency, and circulating • notes of
the national banks mentioned- in Circular No;
1869, from this office, as having failed or
being in voluntary liquidation, forwarded to
the Treasurer in accordance with , existing
regulations for redemption.
In this case the new notes will be forwarded
oy express, under the Government contract, at
the expen.93 of the department, provided" aim.
the amount is $5OO or more, but does not ex
ceed $4OOO, or an even multiple thereof,. by
less than $5OO, to any point within the terri
tory; of Adams' Express Company, or of any
express company which has formed connec
tions therewith. This restriction is made neces
sary by the terms of the Government contract
with Adrimm , Express Company.
2. Upon the receipt by the Treasurer of
original certificates of the deposit of other
United States notes with Assistant Treasurers
of the United States and designated deposi
taries of the United States, other than national
bank's, the fact that the deposits consist of
United States, notes must be expressly stated in
the.certificatei.
In this case the new notes will be forwarded
under the contract at Government rates, at the
expense.- of, ; -- the-consignees,- the amount of-- the
charges being dedUcted from the remittance at
this ofh
Precedence will be given to orders based on
currency remitted for redemption whenever
the Treasurer shall be unable to fill the orders
which he shall have on hand.
111. In filling orders for the now notes the
Trensiuer will be gnided by a regard
.for their
-equitable distribution among the business com
munities of the country, and, until the supply
shall permit the fulfilment_ of 'all others, may
be compelled to fill large orders in part only,
For convenience in this respect, it is suggested
that for the present orders be made in small
sums, and that whenever a hank or order party
holds a few thousand dollars which it is pro
posed ,to deposit on account of an order for
new notes, the deposit be made and the cer
tificate forwarded, without waiting. for,,n Jorge.

Scientific Advance--A Hallway on a New
Principle.
lThc London Railioay News, writing. on the
extension-of--the --railroad—system in Great
Britain, says : . . .
The Poitmadoe and Festiniog Railway,
WaleS,is now.attracting much attention among
scientific men. This in the little line in North
Wales, which was originally.- constructed for .
he purpose of acting as a tramway for slate
.Ind stone'rom the hillsof Merionethshire to
he seashore. It is now ,
tieing used as a regu
ar goods and passenger line. The chief pecu
iarity- in its, constniction-is that - the - gauge is
nly two feet broad. Hence, though the line
uns through sa, ' very difficult country,
lie expenses of construction - and work
ng are so small that the traffic yields
ho enormous revenue of thirty per cent. The
reason is simple enough. It is because the
roportion between the dead weight and pay
ng weight is so much less than upon other
railways. The engine and tender , upon this
ire weigh about ten tons,.agaiust forty tons
'pen the wider guago of other lines. Instead
if a first-class carriage weighing. seven and a
tali' tons,
to carry thirtptwo passengers, and
epresenting nearly five, cwt. of dead weight
or each passenger, the carriages on- the - Fes 7
iniog weigh only thirty cwt. for twelve pas
, °tigers, or two and a half cwt: for each per-
In carried. . .
The Ro',way Nays, without going so far as to
.y that a two-foot gauge will furnish the rail
,ay of the future: is confident "its economy
int efficiency will cause it to he extensively
dopted."

PHILADELPHIA, September 1, 1569
Blears. FARREL, HERRING Co.,
GENTLEMEN We have just examined, with the very
greatesisathrfaction, dur safe, purchased of you some
years ago, and which passed through our destructive
fire of last night. -
We find the contents, without exception, entirely un
harmed, merely slightly , damp, and we feel now in aeon
dition to commence our business again, having every
'Rook perfectly - safe.
We shall in a few days require a larger one, and will
call upon you.

MESSRS. FARRNL, HERRING & CO.
GENTLEMEN: In the year 1856 I unfortnnatelymas
business in the Artisan Building. which was destroyed
by fire on the 10th of April. I had then in use what I
supposed was a Fire-proof Safe, but, upon openingtt
found everything was destroyed,and fire burning therein.
You will recollect, gentlemen,' there was several of
your safes in that fire, also several In the fire at Sixth
and Commerce streets, the-next May, five weeks after
wards, all of which upon heing opened proved they ,
were fire-proof indeed, for I witnessed the opening 'of
the most of them, and in every case the contents were
preserved, while - safes of other makers Nvpre-partially or
entirely destroyed. 1 at once concluded to have mime
. thing that I could depend upon, and purchased ,one
your lutes.
The safe./ purchased of you at that time was subjected
to a white heat (which was witnessed by several gentle•
inenthat reside In the neighborhood) at the destruction
of my Marble Paper factory, 921 Wallace street, on the
afternoon and evening of the Zith inst. After digging
the safe frouithe rnins, and opening it this morning, I
-was _much pleased _to..ilnd everything, consisting -of
books, papers, money and silverware, all right. I shall
want another of your safes as soon as I can get a place
to continop my business in. I could not test contented
with any 'ether make of safes.
