Spectal Dispatch (o The Tribune, Fonr Warxg, Ind., Aptil 13.—~Last night, Charles Clay, 4 yearaold, son of Henry Clay, was plndvlng-bmxnhe rallrond when he was run over nd ro badly Injured that he died to-day, THE MATHUSHEK. ‘The Special Merits of This Excellent Instru- ment. For the purpose of being able to give intelil- gent and trustworthy {oformation to persons at present dealrous of buying planos, a representa- tive of Tue TRInoNE recently made an fnspece “tlon of the work of sumo of the more prominent manufacturers, and was so struck by the many excellent qualities possessed Ly what is known as the Mathushek planos that he felt it tncum- bent on him to give a fuller account of the spe- ciol merits of this fnstrument than has hitherto been published. Aftor the expert haa read the folluwing slmple statcinent,be, too, will doubt- less give his volce In favor of this piano, and fn- dorse the judgment: “By the use of the equalizing scale and linear bridge, correctly {lustrated lu the cograving, the tension of the strings, instead of belng all upon oue corner, {s equally brought to bear upon all sldes of the Iron plate and frame, dis- tributing the strain in different directions, and this ingenfous distribution of the strings is of the utmost lmportanes fn rendering tho plano durable. *'The lintnense pressurg of 158 strings (which Las herctofore been concentrated upou ous end of the suunding-board, greatly obstructing ita vibration_and causiug the board to scttle) Is, by tho usc of the lincar bridge, equally distributed aver tho entire length of the ssunding-board, wreatly fncreuslug the power and quality of tvgua.[ma alzo the strength sud durabulity of e plano. ¢ It Is confidently belleved, and remarked b{ our best judges, who have carefully observe the balanclug pressure ot the strings; both upon the fron frame sud sounding-board, that these pisnus, Instead of beiug old at cight years, will st 0 ‘lm—;lmc, and keep fn tune at one-quarter the expensc of any other piano. TUL LINEAR SILDOE, * By tho uscof the lincar bridge wo obtain over one foot more in length of bridge o the Colibrl than {s found n the full-sized planos with the old scales. * 1t runs the whole length of the sounding- board, crossing the graln of the wood (which {s fudispensable to a uniform tone), and mives equal distribution of thie strings, with greator space to cach string upon the bridze, also cqual preasure on the sounding-boanl through its en- tira longth, linbarting to it the createst possivlo capacity of vibratlow,—producing at once the most astonlshing power, richness, and depth of tone, with on Insplring singing quality that can- not be cqualed by any other scale, SR THON FIAME {a entirely new and novel, most substantfal in its constructfon, with three tross-bars, render- ln]iit Impruguuble to any preasure cyer brought to bear upon It. *This Irame extenda with lucreasod thickness of plate over the wrest plank, Iuto this exten- sfun are drilled the liolea to recelve the bushing for the tuniug pins. These bushings arc a patent held and used only by this company, d_are made (by 3 machine in our factory) hard maplo plank (selocted with ereat enro for fte souldness), and are then foreed {nto the holes llrlllxcd to recefve them. They ars then ready to receive TR TUNING PINS, which, when once placed, are literallyheld fo a grasp of fron; and there Is now no chance for tho action of the atmosubere to lengthen or coutract the Slflllfi‘l (nsls the case when the pins are fuscrted in_the wood frame), and yet they have all the advautage of a wuod bearing, und the pin (s flrmly held to the vers polat ot which the striug takes bold, This is one of the reasons why our pianos require but one-fourth of the tunlug necessary for vthers, “TUCKE 13 ORRATER LENUTIC OF BTRINGS throuzh all the treble and inlddle notes of the Muthushelc plano than any other, glving greater volume of tune o proportion to the lengih of strings, whils the bass {s brought into chord with this fucreasc of tone {n other parts, by the use of the Jinear bridge. M TItR DEIDGE FOIL THE DASS NOTRS on the vqualizing scalo has a apace on the sounding-board remote from the treble bridee; whilo all the strings throughout the entlre scals ure 8o distributed that each note hus the best uasiblo arrangement for ubinterrupted vibra- fon, A little knowledge of tho philosophy of the subject shiows this to be a very Important arrangement, VIRRATION. 1% A distingulshed Vrofussor defines musical tone to be tne result of uninterrupted vibration, and noise the result of interrupted vibration, Nouw, {f tho bass strings of the plano vibrate 100 tines in o second, while ‘the trebis strings vibrate 200 times o sceond, these strings causo a corresponding vibration of the sounding-board at the polnt where they crossthe bridge; and if sepurated, as by our Muear Lridge, the result Is s purc tone for each vivration; L i1 th tako placy close together, as by the curve Lridge, the result 1 an fnterrupted vibratlon, both tones running into one, us the circles when sevoral pebbles ure throwa fnto still water, A comparison of tho two systems will show tho ad- vantages derlved from the use ot the linear I‘)rh: re, and tho subject Is worthy of careful at- entlon. THIED AND TRIUMPHANT, # Never betors has any plano heen subjected to such close criticlsm and severo tests by fricnds and foes, The scale, being so rudically aiiferent from any other, su Ingenlous in it construction, and” producing such wonderful rower and purity of toue, hus attracted the at- ention wnd adiiration of mechanics, philos- ophers, aud musical critics, and It Las there- fure been looked upon as uu fnnovation by man- utacturera and dealers in other pianos, who, bee fug uwabdle to tind Ju it any weak poluts for as- suult, have endeavored to stormy it by unjust sssertions. But atter ten of thorough trlal it has more than viudicated tho highest Lopes of its fricndy, sod is fust silenclug the guus ol its enemics. TS VERDICT, *The Muthushek piaucs are now ackuowl- edzged by the best Judiges of wusic (o all parts of our country to be vastly superior to any cther planos made; und all phllosophleal, uubiased miunds who have examiued the equalisiog scale coneeduthat {8 must forever prevent the fustru- ment frun ly\tmun:l particie to the lmmenso tension of the strings, fnsure rer!m protection axalust settling ol the sounding-Loard, lovsen- iuz of the tuning-plus, or Lreaking away of the wrest plank; and therefore, that the wrigiual volume uf tune muss ever remafn with the In- nrumemflnmado( gradually fadiug out,as basbecu the case with the tons of all other planus), sud that at last a pfano 1e cobstructed which will Hvu aud Improve Jike the violio, and bu haudwd duwn froin generstion to gencration, the loved rellc of the houschold, improving iu tone und bevowing more and more endeared to us by wre Peltoo & Powerey, 239 aad 231 Btate steeet, solo sgents, e TELEGRAPHIC NOTES, New Youx, April 13,~Tho suit of the Aldine Company sgslnat the fire-Insurauce sompanies ter- winated to-cay In favor of the Alding Compsuy for tho full smount clalmed, and interest.
