He went to New York: but whether he submitted his plan or got, is known probably only to himself and Bar- pom.” The ‘Standard is prepared to mive the namie o! he addre! f the man, and that of the friend whom seed. Concerning bis character, it says: “He is one of the boldest, keenest, shrewdest, pot audacious Political manarers in the State Tconnecicut.

His grammar was ‘first-rate, showing only one ‘Uunder during the whole sermon, and that was when he said, “the temptations that lay around our paths,” when speaking in the present tense. His pronunciations were pretty fair, and he used new fashions,such as “nither” and ‘ither.” $1,516,454 His worst offenses were “wuld” for “ world,” - “windeh” for “window,” “hunderd” for “hun dred,” and “thinkin’” for “ thinking.” —<——____ A Wasnixeros dispatch yesterday said: Willism Henry Smith, of Chicago, General Manager of the Western Associated Press, ar- Tred her to-day fur the special purpose of tak- fog charge of the printed copiesof the Presi- Scot's anoual message and the annual report of the Secretary of the Treasury, and making such amingements as will preclude the possibility of the premature publication of these two" stato Tapers in advance of theirreception by Congress coMonday next.

Hambrook Manufacturing Company. Ina recent tour through some of the man- ufacturing districts Tae TrrpuNE represent- ative had the pleasure of visiting the new establishment ot the Richard T. Hambrook Manufacturing Company at Nos: 213 to 219 South Canal street. It will be remembered that one of the establishments of this Com- pany, at the corner of Desplaines and Kinzi Streets, was destroyed by fire last July, and, although a large factory and sawmill at Belding, Mich., enabled the Company to par- tially fill its orders, yet the business was of course seriously affected. The new loca- tior is all that could be desired, occupyi it does the entire upper floor of the building from Canal through to Clinton’ street, a depth of 320 feet, and a width of eighty feet, giving 25,600 square fect, and making it the largest single-floor furniture-manufactur- ing establishment in the country. Last May this Company: succeeded to the entire busi- ness of the Sherwood School Furniture Com- pany, which for the past twenty-four years has buen celebrated throughout the West for the high-character of its work. ‘The consoli- dation of the two establishments, with all the machinery, patterns, ete., gives the largest and most complete line of goods ever placed in the market by one company. It is there- fore not surprising that this Company is tak- ing such a leading position in the manufact- ure of school, church, and office furniture. They have splendid facilities for turning out. all Kinds of fine work that may be intrusted tothem. Mr. Hambrook himself is a prac- tical workman, having been engaged i the business for the last twenty-five years, and all the details of the work are under his im- mediate supervision, _ Of the work produced by the Company it is almost unnecessary to speak, as it is so well and favorably Known throughout the country, but we notice as deserving of par- uceular mention several new styles of school- desks that far excel anything of the kind in the market for beauty of design and practical utility, together with all the other details that ¢o to make up the complete furniture of the modern school-room. In the line of church furniture fs included all the various styles of pews, pulpits, lect- urns, pulpit chairs, altar rails, ete. A lead- ing feature of this department is the special designs furnished for churches when desired. The Cumpany also manufacture a large line of the patent Perfection Kefrigeraio: and it is surprising to what an extent the de- mand for them has increased. They have become a household necessity ‘and are fast superseding all the old styles, as they do away entirely with damp and moldy walls and foul odors, preserving the contents al- ways dry and sweet with the least. amount of ice. The Company in their new quarters are prepared to take contracts for artistic honse- finishing in hard woods as well as for office, store, and bar-room fixtures, and they supply their Perfection tet gerstors in sizes to suit saloons, groceries, and wholesale houses. . We notice also that they manufacture the neat sample and spool cabinets for. both silk and cotton which are used by all the leading silk and thread manufacturers, and which are found in all dry-goods stores. Samples of the Company’s work may seen at the office, 178 Wabash avenue, and we need only add that nothing is lacking either in construction or finish, Everything gives evi- dence of the ability of the Company to carry out successfully all contracts for fine work in the furnishing line, and, by reason of their superior facilites, they can guarantee the most reasonable figures as well as the most complete satisfaction. a PURE TONED PIANOS. “ow silver sweet sound lover tongues by night,” said the enraptured Romeo. “Oh speak again, bright angel.”” All the dramat- ists and poets of the Elizabethan age lamented the want of some musical instrument worthy of comparison with the melodies of Nature. The piano did not come till the eighteenth century. And even the piano was a crude thing till within a half century past. Tlallet, Davis & Co., of. Boston, have probably done more to develop it than all preceding manu- facturers combined. The Hallet, Davis & Co. is not only animprovement on all former and all contemporaneous effort, producing for the first time in the history of the worla a tone that musical science can substitute for nature, but itis intrinsically a new instru- ment, a new piano. as different from_ the earlier clumsy forms as a prima donna from an Indian war screamer. a SENSATION IN THE FUR MARKET. The railroad war with the ridiculously Jow tares is bringing large numbers of buy- ers to Chicago, and one of the principal points of interest for the visitors is the fur emporium of Messrs. A. Bishop & Co., 16% State street, corner Monroe. This firm has a reputation throughout the country for the excellence of the work and the splendid stock of fine furs shown. The beauty and elegance of the seal sacques and doimans, as well as the superb silk fur-lined wraps and circulars, have never been equaled in the West. The new invoice of choice furs lately received is making a decided sensation, and affords a rare chance fur selecting fine skins, Messrs. Bishop & Co. report a large increase in their orders for these magnificent goods. ———— THE LYON & HEALY IN BOSTON. Messrs. Oliver Ditson & Co., the largest piano dealers in New England, thus write concerning the Lyon & Healy pinno: “We are very much pleased with the small upright piano-forte, and consider Lyon's patent resonator one of the very Dest of all modern improvements in that instru- ment. We have invited the attention of many of the principal Professors to this piano, and hear but one continued praise in its favor. Wo can only add that it exceeds our most sanguine expectations in every particular.” Since writ- ing the foregoing Messrs. Ditson & Co. have or- dered fifty Lyon’& Healy upright pianos. —— A HIGHER GRADE OF CONCERT MUSIC. Messrs. Lyon & Healy have just received direct from Europe several cases of music, em- bracing solos for the various orchestra! instru- ments, with orchestra accompaniment; sclec- tions for piano and orchestra, plano and violin, pinno and ‘cello, piano four hands, and a large variety of piano solos of all grades, suitable for concert and teaching purposes; choice vocal selections for chorus and orchestra; new songs by Lassen, Marschoer, Henschel, and others, to- gether with a superb collection of bound vol- umes, suitable for holiday gifts.
