" I WAS never exactly burled alive," said an old
clerk in a music store, recounting his experiences,
"but I once worked a week in a store that did not
advertise. When I came out my head was almost as
white as you now see it. Solitary confinement did
it."

"WHEN any public man grows ill," says a music
dealer, " there is an amusing activity among all
composers of march music. A funeral march is
composed for the suffering hero, and everything got-
ten ready for striking it off." Herein is a suggestion
for the composers to begin work on their grand
Democratic funeral marches.—Cincinnati Commercial

MR. A. H. WHITNEY, of the Whitney & Holmes
Organ Co., Quincy, 111., tells us that trade is improv-
ing, though there is no great change for the better

for himself he is dubious about the possibility of any
lively work this year.

C. D. PEASE, New York, reports trade larger im
August than ever before in the same month. Mr.
Pease tells us that he finds it almost impossible to
fill his orders for pianos with the glass panels. He
is bothered to get the right kind of glass, and unless
he can make some arrangements with the glass firms
here to furnish him, he will order large quantities
direct from foreign ports. There is no doubt but
that Mr. Pease has got a great thing in his patent
glass panels, and that they will be much sought after.

bler, and sporting man generally, who was killed a
short time ago by a Texan upon whom he tried to-
work the sawdust racket, was the son of an indus-
trious piano maker in New York City. Tom worked
at piano making with his father from the time he
was nineteen until he became of age. He then gave
up working for an honest living, and began to make-
his fortune at card playing and dice throwing in the-
Bowery saloons. We hope there are no embryo Tom.
