Sounds of Normandy.

We have just received a copy of a Potpourri, containing all the popular airs from the new opera called tia ‘‘Chimes of Normandy,” splendidly arranged for the piano, by Charlie Baker, the cdebrated American Composer. No doubt our friends and readers who have had the pleasure of hearing this superb new opera can not fail to remember the beautiful melodies contained therein. AU these have been nicely arranged for Piano or Organ. So popular is this composition that the publisher was compelled to make two sets of plates, in order to supply tße demand. Every person who is in possession of a piano or an organ should buy a copy. Price, 50 cents, published by F. W. Helmick, the Great Western Publisher, 136 West Fourth Street, Cincinnati, O.

A gentleman once bought two lottery tickets, one for himself and one by the request of his friend who was absent. In the course of a few months the lottery was drawn, and the friend for whpm he had bought the second ticket, and who had not been called upon to pav for it, received a note that he had drawn $20,000. “But how did you know which ticket was mine and which was your own?” The honest man replied: “1 bought two tickets and placed them in my bureau drawer, but thinking that there might be some question, I marked the one I intended for you with a cross, and I find it was your ticket that had drawn the prize.” Match this who can as an instance of downright honesty- —Boston Journal.
