Beatty’s Organs and Pianos

Hon Daniel F. Beatty, the great Organ and Piano m >nufacturer, is building and shipping more Organs and Pianos than ever. In 1870 Mr. Beatty left home a penniless plow-boy, and by his indomitable will he has worked his way np so as to sell so far, nearly 100,000 of Beatty’s Organs and Pianos since 1870. Nothin j seems to dishearten him; obstacles laid m his way, that wouH rave wrecked any ordinary man forever, he turns to an advertisement and comes out of it brighter than ever. His instruments, as is w 11 known, are very popular and are to be found in all parts of the world. We are in tormed that during the next ten years he intends to sell 200,000 more of his make, that means a business of $20,000,000 if we average them at SIOO each. It is already the largest business of die kind in existence. Scvd to Daniel F. Beatty, Washington, New Jersey, for Catalogue.

It is said Ingalls is preparing a letter emphatically declining the Republican nomination for the Presidency.

, Mighty*Near Getting tlic Big liead ! Harrisburg Sunday Telegram: A char, shrewd philosophic observer is Ex-Governor Curtin. Passing through 1 laj r’bbuig during the week, on his wav to Washington, he ehatted pleasantly wirh the writer. He In sa c trong antipathv to what he ampl y ini iris the “big head.'’ Speaking of this he said: | “It is not confined to the departments at Washington, where so many small men rattle around in big positions, but extends abroad among our representatives. Pendloton has it—he always looks up at the ceiling when you talk to him. And Bancroft. He was minister to Germany and he got it, too. But I suppose there is something about a foreign court that giveß it to them. When I was in Russia I used to be driven out with the * obility . occasionally, with their splendid euuipages and outriders and soldiers, and when somebody would shout, ‘Make way for the American Minister,’ I came mighty near getting the big head myself.”* Thegre ’t “wnr governor” carries his tge bravely, looking very hearty this winter, and he has lost none of his geniality with the passage of the years that have made his hair white as the driven snow.

“Not one of the evils which it was for told, would follow Democratic success, has resulted from it; nothing whatever of the mis< hies which it was dec ared would be a sequence of Mr. Cleveland’s election, has appeared. His administration has been singularly f>ce froa all sorts of political or official scandals; it has been so conservative as to command the respect of the country* and instead of being th® cause of mercantile depression, as it was said it would be, it has been the apparent cause of mercantile prosperity.—Phil’a Telegram, Republican.
