A Munich inventor has brought forward an improvement in the construction‘ of pianofortes, which. it is claimed, meets the problem of equalizing the strength and ful- ness of the different octaves. Aseries of tuning forks are freely suspended over the three highest octaves 01 the piano, each fork having the exact pitch of the string over which it is suspended. The vibrations of the string are communicated to the fork, which. in return. resets on the string. and thus a full and sustained tone is secured. in strong contrast to the usual short and dry tones of this instrument.

Within ayear of his death he adn't. money enough to buy his dinner, and was forced to sell one of his great. works for less than 35, and his songs at 200. each. The estimated value of his whole effects at death amounted to less than 810. He ought to have written “Captain Jinks,” or “Grandfather's Clock." Then he could have had a white atone front in Vienna.

A Washington telegram says: The Citi- aene’ Committee to~day had an interview with O'Leary and Murphy. three-card monte men. now serving a term in the district jail. They made startling revela- tions. giving detailed accounts of the Bur- detwiillt robbery. robberies in Upton J: Woodhouss’s Government Printing Ofiioe. money thefts. and the Fitch-Fox and Browu robbery. The names or the operatives in each instance were given. the list including well-known northern proieseiouais. The monte men say detectives of Washington in each instance received a percentage of the pro- ceeds ot robberies. The amount in every. case was given. and the names ot the detec- tives most active in the business er'e tur- nished. They assert certain detectives whom they name planned and sent tor the operators to execute each robbery. the field 0! operations being chosen where the detec- tives could afford thieves reasonable immunity from capture. O'Leary said the high percentage charged for protection by Washington detectives was a matter of complaint among all the members of his profession with whom he ever "stood in.” The percentage usually charged. where ar- rangements could be made with ofiicers. was 10 per cent.. but here the detec- tives demanded 20 per cent. Murphy and O‘Leary gave acircumstantiai account of the Christianoy diamond robbery at the National Hotel on the 16th of September. 1881. and alleged that the diamonds. which were valued at 815.000 to 820.000. were dis- posed 01 at a great sacrifice in New York,and a heavy percentage was given to two detectives who are named. The wife of one 0! these men. O‘Leary said. now wears dresses made from silk taken in the Burdette silk robbery. and given the detec- tive as his part at the plunder. They said the entire detective force of the district participated in the three card monte and unko business. and received pro rata dividends from assessments levied each week upon the combination.

I Stock Yards, one mile west or the Grand Trunk Railway Junction, on Sunday, the ‘ burglars having all their work and worry : for the paltry sum of S50. Three men were in the oflice about 2 a. in , , when four masked men walked in at the door and, presenting revolvers to the heads of the watchmen, demanded obedience to their commands on pain of instant death. They were made to sit down on the floor and remove their shoes, after which all three Were hustled intoa closet and ruuroh lurk“! in. The burg lJJH then proceeded lo the cashier’s ofliee,where they beg an operations upon the safe. They had not been at work more than ten minutes when the foreman of all} the Watchmen beLWeeu 'l‘hird street and} the Stock Yards came along on his nightly I round of inspection. He Was whistling as he approached the buildne, so that the burglars heard hitn for some time before he arrivad. As he entered the door his hands were seized by two of the intruders. Supponng the men were drovers who mistook him for arobber, he called out, “ It's all right, gentleman, I am one of the watchmen here." He at once saw his error. Alter relieving him of his revolver the men locked him up in the closet with the other watchmen. Work on the sale was resumed, and in the course of an hour the imprisoned men heard a dull explosion like the firing of acannon at a distance. Soon after the robbers lelt, taking the watchmen’s shoes, which they threw about in all directions in the snow in order to prevent their being immediately followed. As soon as it was apparent that the burglars had left the building, the men in the closet broke down the door, and after finding their shoes started in pursuit of the fugitives, who came towards the city. {The chase had finally to be given up as hopeless and the men returned to the stock- yards. The door of the safe was found to have been blown about six feet, a hole having been drilled at the side of the combination look, into which the powder had been introduced and exploded. A careful examination , made later in the day showed that 850 in Canadian money had been taken, while . cheques for 81,600 and several envelopes ; containing money to the amount of 870 1 had been overlooked. The money in envelopes belonged todrivere. and had been paid in for disabled stock left at the yards for sale. It is probable that the burglars supposed the envelopes contained mere business letters, and that they threw them aside as not worth taking. flow a Gun 0!

A resolution was adopted denouncing the recent grave robberies. When Trustee Burton. of Lebanon Come. tery. appeared on the platform there was great excitement. Several razors and revolvers were drawn and shouts for ven- geance were mingled with calls for peace by Bishop Campbell and other oler ymen. The meeting was at once adjourne . after the announcement that a subscription to stop the ghouls would boo ned. Thirty graves were 0 ened vester ay. and from about half of t em bodies had been stolen. The Health Department will not allow an 3 more to be opened till it is ascertained whether the persons died of contagious diseases. The majority of our most successful journalists are self-made men. The press is every year becoming e. greater power in the lead ; it is already one of the greatest " resources of civilization." and we might as soon try to get along without steam. or railways, or the post-office. as without our newspapers. If we are to have newapspers we must have editors to direct them, and the editors must march with or in advance of the times. There is therefore good easou to hope that better things are in store for the coming generations of journal- is!“ than there have been for those that are gone, and that on the newspaper press the best talent. the maturest judgment, and the most cultivated taste will yet find congenial and appropriate work.â€"Chqmlurs' Journal Mr. N. F. Davin yesterday had an inter- view with the Hon. Mr. Pope in connection with French immigration to the Northwest Territories. The Minister stated that he could not possibly assist in the removal of emigrants from one point in Canada to another ; but he expressed himself fully in sympathy with the movement. because he had lived among the Lower Canadians and knew that they were a very desirable class of settlers for the great lone land. The Government were already assisting in the repatriation of Canadians from the United States. and would continue that good work. Mr. Davin will have another interview to- day. The New York State oanvaaaers yester- day morning declared the vote on the recent. election as follows: Cleveland, 535,318; Folger, 324.464; Howe, 111.974”; Hopkins, 25,783.

An Elmira (N.Y.) telegram says: A hideous accident occurred upon the Lehigh , Valley Railroad to-day at Rummsrfield. a small station between Towauda and Wya- lusing. The horror consisted not so much ‘ in the loss of life as in the terrible manner in which the lives were lost. Train No. 8, ‘ due at Elmira at 525 a.m.. owtng toa misplaced switch, ran into a freight train standing on the south-bound track at Rumrnerford, and the engines. crashing into each other, were reduced to ruins. The baggage and express cars Were thrown from 15 to 20 feet from the track. The wreck was complete. The baggagemsn and expressmau were thrown on the top ot the cars and received serious but not fatal injuries. The first sleeping car was thrown upon the tender of the passenger engine, and three freight cars‘ laden with hay were piledup promiscuously ; on the wreck. The debris at once took tire. 1 Then ensued a most heartrending scene.{ The engineer, N. Faulke, of Waverly, stood 1 in the midst of the burning mass in plain view of the spectators, but could not move, as his right leg was caught in the iron and timbers as if in a vice. All his eflorts to release himself from the fire roaring around him were vain. He could only stand there and look death in the face. It came slowly, surely, and cruelly. The crowd did what they could to reach and save him, but the heat was too intense. The man was gradually roast-ed before his friends and companions, who were unable to give any succor. There was no flinching about the unhappy man, however. He stood up and calmly directed the efforts of the men who were trving to save him. Even while the scalding steam was stripping the flesh from his house, as he was being cocked alive. he shouted to the bystanders to cut the cab ‘ away. but this could not he done on account ‘of the fearful heat from the burning hay. Flames from this ignited the express baggage car, and next the sleeper that had been piled on top of the engine took fire, so that Faulke was speedily beyond all human aid. The spectators could only turn their heads away from the horrid sight. The firemen oi the freight train, Leander Kingsman. of Waverly, was missed from the first. His body was subsequently found under the charred tim- bers of the trains. Both men have wives and children.

The infant is about six months old, and when we asked how the baby was coming on the wife must have had the baby run- ning in her head, as well as the cold. and got them mixed up. for she replied with animation: " I usually have them every winter, but I must say this is the worst one I ever had. I managed to get rid of all the rest in less than three days, but this one sticks to me like a tick." " Madame l” we exclaimed. with horrified feelings. " It just worries me nearly to desth.
