BITS FOR CHANGE.

OUR PARTY.

 

 

While at San Francisco, many of our
party observed what is certainly astrik-
ing characteristic of an early custom
still remaining in California. When a
single copy of a certain morning paper
was purchased of news-boys for nomin-
ally ‘‘one bit” they received a 25 cent
piece, and returned a dime and a paper,
thus really taking 15 cts. for a single
copy of a paper, whose published sub-

—FEager friends, who were in waiting
to meet our excursionists on their re-
turn, were somewhat surprised and de-
lighted to see bronzed faces and rugged
looks in place of the delicate ones, from
which they had separated but a few
weeks before. Our excursionists have
returned without a single case of serious
illness, having been in the enjoyment of
uninterrupted good health.

—The little antelope, brought on board
our train between Laramie Plains and
the Rocky Mountains, after riding with
us 2,000 miles, was taken sick at Fram-
ingham, when only twenty miles from
Boston. He was left in careful hands to
recuperate if possible, and to be for-
warded, should he recover, to Hon, Alex-
ander H. Rice, our President.

GRAND IMPROVEMENT
IN

PIANOS.

Manufacturers of

GRAND AND SQUARE PIANOS,

Have great satisfaction in announcing
to the musical public that the United
States Government has granted to Geo.

co...

-H. Davis, of this house, LETTERS PATENT

on their new and already famous

ORCHESTRAL GRAND PIANO.

 

This invention in the first place so mod-
ifies the construction of Grand Pianos
that a greater and a better quality of
tone is produced thereby than by the
construction usually adopted; in the
second place, it gives the instrument a
much more beautiful and convenient
form than that usually given to Grand
Pianos; and, in the third place, it ren-
ders either side of the instrument equal-
ly desirable for a front side in a room of
whatever shape—that is, the case of this
grand piano, instead of being hollowed
out on one side, is made so that both sides
are alike. This brings the bridges into
the centre of the board, securing nearly
one-third move of the sounding board
than has been heretofore attained. Its
action is light and delicate, while its
power ismarvelous. Itstoneis remark-
able for sweetness, clearness and bril-
liancy. Its singing qualities very close-
ly resemble the richness of the human
voice, and its tenor is unexampled in
any instrument yet produced,

The Orchestral Grand Piano

is an entirely new invention, differing at
once in arrangement of case and seale
from anything hitherto attempted. It
has commanded the admiration of all
artists and critics who have examined
it. and testimonials in its favor are
abundant and enthusiastic.

By a unanimous vote of the Executive
Committee of the National Peace Jubilee,
this was the only piano used in the
Great Coliseum,

Its distinguishing characteristics are
immense power, sweetness, brillianey,
and perfect equality of tone, elasticity
of touch snd durability—not being inju-
riously affected by change of climate.

Every instrument warranted for five
years.

Confident of the unprecedented merits
of our new invention, justified by a
common consent and authorized by let-
ters patent at Washington, we unhesita-
tingly announce our Orchestral Grand
Piano as without an equal in America,
and without a superior in the world!
And we cordially invite most careful in-
spection by all who are interested in the
advancement of musical manufactures
and who have at heart the best interests
of musical science. These instruments
are offered at very low prices, in order
that the musical public of the United
States and Canada may become thor-
oughly familiar with their character and
capacity. Illustrated Catalogues of our
Pianos sent free to any address.
