I!, llumf , Secretary. The Scenes in the House upon the Passage of the Amendment. It will be seen from the following report that the Democrats forced the House to a vote upon the report of the committee as a whole, so as to prevent the striking out of the third section- intending, of course, to kill the Radicals at home on that section. Raymond, of the New York Times, presented a pitiable spectacle. His paper and himself have denounced the third section in unmeasured terms, and yet he voted for it. Messrs, Whaley and Latham, of West Virginia, voted in the negative. Mr. Hubbard, of the same State, voted " aye" : Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, closed the debate, and said to his political friends, give us the third section or give us nothing. It was our only salvation. Without it he would not give a snap of his finger for the whole thing. Some said the third section was too strong for their stomachs, but it was not too strong for the stomachs of the people ; others said it was too lenient, but it was not so for his hard heart, for if it were left to him, he would not only disfranchise these rebels till 1870, but to eighteen hundred thousand and seventy. [Laughter and applause.] Gentlemen said the South must not be humiliated. Why not? Did they not deserve to be humiliated? He would never consent to their coming here on demand, but only as suppliant, if at all. Mr. Stevens demanded the previous qllesj i. n. I i.e demand tor the previous question was seconded, and the question was on ord< ring the main question. It was agreed to ? voas. st: nays, 7?i. [Just prior to the vote it w is evident that the main question was not ordered : whereupon, amid much c \c it fluent on the lloor, the members irowdingthe aisles and standing up in their seats, Messrs. Rogers, Nildaek. Kerr, and other Democrats and Republicans, changed their votes from " no " to aye." thus carrying the question. It was niani. lest that it was the intention of the Democrats to force the Republicans to Vote oil the entire amendment, and not give them the opport unity, as desired by many, of st riking out tin' third section, disfranchising rebels. J So t he main question w as ordered, which was; u Shall the joint resolution he read a third time ami passed." I he excitement at this stage continued iu the hall, amid which, Mr. Randall, of Pemis\ I vania, rose and demanded t he reading of the engrossed resolution. The Speaker. ? The resolution is not en. grossed, and it will have to be laid aside. Mr. Randall. ? I withdraw my motion. I lie Sp? tker stated the question, and the joint resolution was read. The roll was called, and resulted as follows : Yeas, I2S; nays, ;;7. The result was handed to the Speaker, who said: "Two-thirds of the I louse having voted ill favor of the joint rcsolut ion, it has passed." This was fallowed by great applause on the lloor and iu the crowded galleries. Mr. Kldridge, of Wisconsin, called upon the Speaker to maintain order on the lloor and in the galleries. The Speaker s.iid that spectators iu the galleries mu-t maintain order and obey the rules of the House. Mr. Rodgeis, o| New Jersey.- ? I move tile colored gentlemen in 1 1 galleries be allowed to wave their handkerchiefs. [Laughter and hisses. J Mr. Kldridge, of Wisconsin. ? I don't want any more of these nigger heads to conic here and disturb the House. [Renewed hisses. Mr. Kldridge repeated the rem. irk, an I was followed by hissing again, whu h was stopped b\ the Speaker's gavel. J When Mr. Raymond. of New York, voted "aye" there was repeated applause on the Republican side, and members crowded around and congratulated him.

TkRKIKI.K At'CII?K\T FROM THK Ex PLOSION ok a Sin 1. 1.. ? Although accidents art- continually occurring to inexperienced pursons who w ill persist in meddling with any id' the hundred varieties of shell which may lie found scattered broadcast in nearly I every Held outsidp the city breastworks, it is impossible to teach those who escape t?? exercise prudence and discretion, and a melancholy instance of this fact is now before us. On yesterday, a Mr. Martin, who lives about tbur miles below tin1 city, picked up a shell and set to work to draw the fuse to get ont the powder. For a time lie was unsuccessful, but continued his efforts until, without an instant's warning, the shell exploded, shattering both the legs ot \ the ufftortuuate man in a frightful manner. Drs. Farrar and Archer were called in, and after a consultation tlicy determined to amputate both legs at the knee. The operation was successfully performed, ! i and at the last accounts there was every hope that Mr. Martin's life was entirely i out of danger. Such a warning a-? this may cause men, women, and children not to interfere for a time with any kind of shell, however harm. ' less it may seem. Parrott, three-inch, ; I lotchkiss, "Weycr's ? they are all unpleasant enough when they come hurling and shrieking through the pines, but they are I worse, infinitely worse, when they explode in the hands of some person who is inuo- ? cent of everything but a trifle too much curiosity. In action, with the most care- i fill dodging in the world, you cannot always get out of the way of a shell, hut when they are Iving quietly ami peaceably in the mud ; of a road or Held, why, Ibr goodness' s.ike, j must they be interfered with.' Let the j I'uited States Ordnance Department take charu'?of them, and they will not blowup: or, at least, ought not to do so. MayokV ConiT. ? Mayor Mayo held his court at the usual hour yesterday morning. William Langford, Henry I' it/.gerald, and James Johnston, charged w ith entering the store-room of John Knders with intent to commit larceny, were sent on. Charles Dickens, negro, charged with j ?den ling iron, sent on t< ?r further examinatioii. George Washington, negro, was charged with stealing clothing from ihauch Jack- ' son, and sent 011 tor further examination. Annie Anderson, Klizabeth Hanks, and Isabella Catherine llaskins, negresscs, charged with using obscene language cm the street, were committed to jail in default of security for their future good behavior. Chapman Johnson, negro, was charged with stealing goods from Newtiehl. lie was sent on for further examination. William Jackson, mulatto, was charged with keeping a disorderly house. Mr. William II. I lay ward testified that he lived near the house, and that his tamily were unable to rest in consequent;? ot the noise kept up by negroes dancing and tiddling. In addition to this, they were compelled to hear profane and obscene language. S? veral witnesses appeared and te?titicd to the same facts. Three or lour negroes stated that they had attended the balls, and never saw anything about them that was w long or disorderly. I li> Honor gave Jackson his choice, to be tiued til'ty dollars under the city ordinance or go before the Grand Jury for indictment for violation of the State laws. The latter being chosen, the case was sent on, Jackson giving Vail in the sum of three hundred dollars for his future good behavior. Hknkh o Qi \ktkki.v Conn . ? This court was iii session yesterday, and was engaged in the consideration of civil cases of no public importance.

Tn k Meeting of German CITIZENS. ? j The mcetingof German eitizensarijourned on Thursday night after discussing several amendments to the constitution. .Several amendments were nuule, but it remains in substanee what we published on yesterday. After tin' constitution was put in such Cm in ussuilcd the sense of flu* meeting, it a<1j??urne<l until next Friday night, when it is hoped there will he a full attend ance. The constitution will be voted upon and otlieors elected. The association ahout t" he formed is one which will prove of much lienclit to our State, as well as to i the German emigrant who comes here. ' Similar associations have been in existence in the North for many years, and the consequence has been that all the emigrants have gone there. The (iermans are a thrifty people, make the best of citizens, and wherever tliev have settled they have made their mark. We are glad that this move has been made to encourage them to come here, and earnestly hope that complete success may attend this effort of the German citizens. Kki ki.kss Hiding. ? Yesterday a youth named John llolloway, while straining Iris horse down Main street, ran over a negro woman ? whose name we could not learn, who was (Mossing Twenty-second street ? injuring her quite seriously.

V iinmber of .suggestions have been t<>rwarded to ib by different |M*rson? in relation to the best manner of carrying out the objects of the Hollywood and Oak wood Memorial A ssociation* : and we regret to tiud that in th<- greater part of them it is proposed to disinter the remains of our soldiers and rcbury them in some other form. It would seem that such a plan a-* this is open to the most serious objections. The disinterment would certainly cost as much a- to have the graves mounded and turfed, which can be done t "< ? r 1 i 1 1 \ cents each ; and, setting all this aside, there is the great repugnance that we must all feci to disturb" iug the ashes of those who have been once committed to the ground, unless it be to remove them from among strangers to a resting-place amidst their friends. So long as each soldier has a particular grave, no matter how insignificant its appearance, lie >ti|] has an apparent individuality, which w ould be lost entirely ii his bones were deposited in some vast mausoleum, with uo visible personal memento but the name chiselled upon it^ granite walls. As the graves are now, any relative or friend can iSive particular care to any one grave that is dearer to his heart than the rest, and when the mourners from the far south come on to Virginia to visit the spot where lie their dear and noble ones who died in the war, it "ill be a gratification to them to sit and mourn by their graves instead ol merely gazing upon t In* cold slab ol some monument, dedicated not to one or ;? hundred, but to thousands of Confederate dead. Manx persons also will wish, when times are more prosperous, to erect a monument themselves over the fallen soldier ; and this they could not do it hi> remains had been exhumed or disturbed. I 'pon every ground of feeling, affbetion, sympathy, and respect, as well as that ot economy, the remains ol the dead should be allowed to rest ill peace, and we consider that this must and will be made a

si it i i/'i't unit in all plans proposed for arranging ami guarding t ho graves of the fallen Confederate soldier. Those who | toiled and fought so manfully while here ^should he allowed to similiter undisturbed beneath the sod, and the verdant gra>?and blooming tlowers will seem t ? ? press more lightly upon their breasts than the cheerless weight of a massive monument, with 1 all its pump of blazonry and grandeur of inscription. A.vxivkrsarv of thk Unit w. of Major. G i n kuai. J. K. H. S'H' ART. ? This, the 12th day of May, ls?;i;,is the second anniversary of the burial of General Stuart, who was mortally wounded near Yellow Tavern on the loth of May, isfil. To the people of Virginia who knew (icucral Stuart, who loved him as a man and honored him as an otliccr, 110 word is necessary in his praise. All appreciated t lit' purity and integrity of his character, all felt the disinterestedness and intensity of his devotion, all were saddened when the gallant cavalier wasquietly borne to his last home in the shades of Hollywood while the guns of war boomed a defiant dirge around the walls of IJiclimond. He and many other spirits as virtuous and holy have pa>scd from the sorrows and heart-sicknesses of life ; thousands have fallen like him, sword in hand and face to the front; hut while the name of the "Old Dominion'' is remembered, who .shall forget her chivalrous son, the heroic, noble Stuart ? He sleeps all quietly and cold Beneath the noil that gave him birth ; Then brt-ak his battle-brand In twain, And lay it with hiiu in the earth ! No more at midnight shall he urge Hi* toilsome march among the pines, Nor hear upon the morning air The war-shout of hi* charging lines. No more for him shall cannons park, Or tent* gleam white upon the plain ; And where his camp- flr<-!? blazed of vore Brown reapers laugh amid the graSn ' Young April o'er his lowly mound fchall shake the violets from h??r hair ; And glorious June, with fervid kiss, Shall bid the lomn bloaoOiu there. And round about the droning bee, With drowsy hum, shall come and go ; While west winds all the live long day Shall murmur dirge* *oft and low. Still, whatever the grief and trouble in our breasts, it is due to him and to us that his grave should not remain unhonored in the eyes of the foreigner and stranger, w ho will not know how lie is cherished and loved by the men whom he so often led. Every man of his old division ; every man who remembers the ring of his voice, the brightness of his lace, and that sweeping plume which, like the white plume of Navarre, was ever seen in the thickest of the tight, will desire most earnestly to give his uieed of honor tit the fallen chieftain. An association has been formed in this city for ti e purpose of erec ting a monument to the memory of Stuart, and this the anniver

sary of his burial would be au appropriate ?lay to prove that time has not blunted the edge of our remcmbrnnep, however it nun have mitigated t he tlr.it sharpness of our grief. TriK Of.H fSRARMTHI! lb RT IXII-G Rol'Mi. On Franklin street, between Twentieth and Twenty-first, many of our citizens must have noticed a vacant lot, overrun with rank weeds and grass, showing the track of wagons and hearing the hoofmark of lw>rses, and whieh is washed into deep ruts and gullies by the rains of many a season. Hundreds of persons pass it by daily, ami if they think of it at ail, it is a* ,i piece of waste land most unaccountably allowed to remain in a useless and neglected condition. In the centre of flu* lot a closer observer may have seen a raised platform of hrick work, surmounted I ? y two weather-beaten slabs of stone. ? Those stones cover the remains of citizens of Richmond who died more than half a century since, and that vacant lot is the old Israelii ish liurying-Groiiml of Richmond. This burying-grotind was never very generally used, and its principal occupants belong to not more than two or three families. For forty years at least it has not been made use of, and it gradually fell into that forlorn and desolate state in which it now is found. It was once surrounded by a substantial paiing, hut this was torn down again ami again hy the negroes in the vicinity, and now it is entirely unenclosed. The old hurying-ground being surrounded by houses, and situated in the centre of a thickly populated portion of the city, cannot now be used for its origii mil purpose, ami the level of the ground j lias sunken to so much below the level of I the street upon which it stands that it canI not, in its present condition, be drained or kept dry. It has been desired that, under all circumstances, the graves of those who are interred there may be preserved from obliteration, and as their immediate representatives are now living in Baltimore, it rests with the city to see that this is done. Workmen arc now engaged in levelling the lot, and it is proposed to reduce it to the level of tin1 raised platform to which we. have already alluded, in order to give the lot the same elevation as Franklin street. A\ hat further steps may be proposed we know not, but we do know the ; tendency that there is on every side to j forget those who have been dead for j only a few year-, and hope that no grave, however old or worn, may be permitted to be descerated by the foot of the idle or made a play-ground for mischievous, rareless children. May Pari h.s. ? Sidney w.is on yesterdav the scene ol one of those little festivals which characterize this beautiful mouth, and make it the most loved by the young folks. The children of .Mi*.-, Mollie Morris's school had a coronation of a "Queen of May " at Sidney Chapel. Master Clinton Moore introduced the exercises in a neat speech. I he little fellow did himself great credit. lie will be voted l<?r as Mayor ol' Sidney, President of the United States, or one. of those big offices, one of these days. Miss Julia Crump was crowned " Queen of May" by Mis> Sallie Temph ? both brighteyed and pretty little ladies. The crown was gracefulh received and gracefully bestowed. The crowning was followed by speeches and dialogues by the children, who were decorated with beautiful garland- and ehaplets. In the interim, music was discoursed by a band w hich had been engaged for the occasion. The exercises were closed with a collation, composed of any ?| uarit < r y ol ail sorts of nice things, which the little people did full justice to. I lie grown folks present were highly entertained, and expressed great satisfaction at the manner in which all did their parts. IIknuico CorxTY Jaii.. ? As most of the county jails for many miles around this fit \ have either been burned down or have become unsafe from want of repairs, the Henrico jail is the general receptacle for all the stray negro criminals for whom the neighboring counties can find no other safe abiding place. On Thursday, six negroes were sent to Justice Wade from Gloucester county tor sale-keeping; and on yesterday the ( oiinly ( ourt <>i Prince George sent down, for the, same purpose, Sam Smith, Mary Anne Barnes, Parker Spencer, Thomas Thornton, J. W. Hume, and W illiam Davis, all negroes, charged with felony, and committed for trial at the May term of the Prince George Court. Justice Wade will, as usual, take good care of his prisoners, but it would be a great advantage to the tax-payers of the

State if all persons confined in jail could t be made to pay their own expenses by I working at some trade or occupation. This ; cannot perhaps he done, hut it is annoying ! to have to pay taxes for the support of a i parcel of negro prisoners, who arc perfectly j happy so long as they have plenty to cat i and nothing to do. Sales of Real Estate. ? The lot on Main street next hclow the office of the National Express Company, fronting twen-ty-two feet on Main street and running hack on.e hundred and fifty-five feet to a wide alley, ami which was taken in at a hid of four hundred and fifty dollars per foot, we learn was sold privately yesterday by Messrs.

Wc have not seen the programme for Monday evening, but have learned that Mr. D'iftield will plav "The Beast " in " Beauty and the Beast, "and will favor the audience with numerous songs, sung in his inimitable manner. A full house should greet him. General Colston's Lecture. ? General Colston delivered his lecture on " Stonewall" Jackson on Thursday night at the Virginia Hall.

Tiik THKATtr.? To-night Miss Helen Western close* her engagement. She haw apfieared in a series of characters here which must have satiHlied every one as to her abilities as an actress. Slie appears this evening in five characters in the Aiujii of Midnight, and also in linhnt Ma. cairr. (Jive her a good house. Mr. J. A. Uerno also appears, lie U a very pleasing performer. Hi* acting is unconstrained and natural. Hy the way, a friend says that what spoils Coleman's acting is his swinging himself bark wards and torwards like a tree in a wind. storm. Mr. Duflield closed yesterday an engagement with Miss Josephine Chcstney for one week, commencing on the 22d ofthis month. This announcement will prove gratifying to our citizens, with many of whom sbe i? well known, and we look forward to large and genial audiences to greet her upon her appearance here. Miss Chcstney was with us during the war, shared our privations, devoted much of her time to the sick and wounded, and upon her return to Baltimore, after the late of war had been decided against us, she still showed her love lor the South and sympathy for the suffering people there by volunteering her talents for their relief. Her vocation for the stage has been developed. She has, at the advice ol many of her friends, taken up her profession, and it remains for our people to support her in it. All men pay tribute to beauty and accomplishment. Such is certainly duo here; and in addition to this, there is a debt of gratitude due from our people to one who has lent much of her time and her best efforts to their cause. Miss Chest nev's appearance in Baltimore has been attended with complete success. The press of that city are glowing in their praises of the young iM/utante. An old play-goer and lawyer of the highest standing" there volunteers the following to the Unzette: " Permit an old play-goer who tor sonic years past, from advancing age, has found his pleasure in other recreations, to testify his renewed delight in the performances at the llollidav-street Iheatie j during the hist week. Miss Chestney had ! been favorably known to a portion of the Baltimore public by her amateur efforts in the charitable cause of Southern relief, in which the commingled graces of youth, beauty, and talent so charmingly blended in her impersonation of Lady Gay Spanker that her friends have urged her to enter 1 a wider field of histrionic labor. I ndet such persuasion she undertook the Performance in nightly succession of the dillieult characters of Miss llardeastle, Lad> Teazle, Julianna, Beatrice, and Lady (?ay Spanker, and has more than redeemed the promise which had been given by Iter previous impersonation/' 'I lie able critii/in of that paper pays similar tribute to Miss Chest ney's talents. We feel assured that her appearance on the Hichniond boards will be attended with complete success. " 1'ukm of Lahor." ? Mr. Samuel Eaton will deliver his " Poem of Labor," by invitation of many prominent citizens, on Monday night, in the hall ot the House of Delegates. The notices of the press in tnanv cities in which he has delivered his poem are very complimentary to him, and from the accounts of the immense crowds | who went to hear him, as well a.s the ex- | pressioiis of satisfaction of those of our i citizens who have attended his readings here, his work is one of much excellence, and deserving of encouragement. We hope that it may be fully appreciated, and that he may deliver it to a full house on Monday I night. ()i-r M ( Til. a run Soi.ihkrs. ? The attention of the public was cordially and earnestly directed on yesterday to a supper to be given by a few ladies and little girls on I Friday night, the proceeds of which were for the procuring of artificial limbs for ( otifedcratc soldiers. To-day a magic lantern will be exhibited on Broad street, between Fourth and Fifth streets, for the same purpose, and we cordially invite all who feel ! interested to be present. Refreshments will be served during the day. Kili.ko Him.? Yesterday morning as a Federal officer was riding rapidly down Canal street, between Fourth and Fifth, a virions dog rushed out at his horse, and the rider drew his pistol, and, turning in his saddle without checking the speed of his horse, shot the dog dead on the spot. Masonic Xotick. ? A called meeting of| Metropolitan Lodge, No. 11, of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons will be held at their hall, on Marshall street, at G o'clock i this evening.

Ma.whkstku, Monpav Njoirr. Happily for the cause of civilization and progress, our old Iioard of Trustees have gone to the grave. In reviewing its official career, it is a peculiar comfort that we are entirely free from all disagreeable debts of gratitude, and will not be burdened in the least with the memory of its virtues. As it is not noble to assail the dead, I will now drop the white rose of ?? irity on the tomb of the " Invisible Fat.i*. and bid them a hearty, if not sad, farewell. The new Board, wreathed with the chaplets of popular favor, and with the banner lot' "reform" waving in grand triumph I above it, is now upon the stage. 1 warmly congratulate these gentlemen upon the [ singular unanimity with which they were chosen for their present position. It is to ! be hoped that they are not so unduly elated by their recent honors as to be incapable of listening to sound advice. 1. First of all, there is a work of mercy for tin- new Board to perform. Some of our Orst citizens are so cut with grief at the death ??t the "Invisibles" that they weepingly declare that they can never remain here. Precious spirits, how 1 pity them ! For persons in their situation, a change of scenery is necessary. 1 know a country highly recommended to many others similarly effected, ami always with the happiest results. The celebrated land to which I refer is Guinea. 1 have the honor of suggesting, then, that the Board ap|?oh)t a committee of three to wait on these comfortless sufferers, and to urge them in the most pathetic and affectionate manner " t? jo to Guinea." 2. For some time, as " Stranger" assures me, several men, ages not mentioned, have been living and flourishing in this place without any visible means of support. Their appearance indicates that they are on friendly terms with their butchers and tailors. At least, they are fat and faahiouable. It is a very practical question as to the way in which these Weil-dressed idlers get their bread. It must be that they sei cure their rations through the doubtful medium of the underground railroad ? a way not approved by the law. All nations, ; except Patagonia and Manchester, punish I vagrancy as a crime. Among us it is lion, j ized, patronized, and trusted. Here is need of reform. Let the Board j establish a chain-gang, arrest these handsome loafers, ami put them to work. By this meaus the town will be spared the expense of paying so many street laborers, i and benelitcd in other ways as well. I 3. Manchester, I learn, is infested with a class of recognized and professional <jwublvrs. Their gaudy deus of viltaiuy are ! opened upon our principal street, and by day as well as by night they seduce ami devour their prey. Oh, what a vile and detcstuble thing is a gambler ! Without honesty, truth, or rieuaibility, he seek* to live by ruining others. If a tnau takoa what is

Frequent, and sometimes successful, effort* to seize their cont ci ts and punish their propriators have been made. Not no In this virtu, oiis town. Here the gambler i* a very respectable man. He may, as "Stranger" says, dose and rob his victim to-night, and be the most popular man in town to-mor-row. Oh, horror! f invoke the new Board to lt*,k to this matter. The removal of this evil will be better than a free school. The drinking shop* of Manchester alao furnish a matter for the consideration of the Board. At the risk of being assailed again with the charge of hoatility to our ministers, I am compelled to say that I disagreed utterly with one position taken in the temperance sermon which I heard | some Sunday nights ago. The speaker seemed to he a very hopeful advocate of Moral Su nylon a-i the moat effective means of advancing temperance. Moral Suasion may be the best expedient for reclaiming a drunkard, though six months' imprisonment for every drunken revel might be better. Whatever may be the value of Moral Suasion on the drinker, I must say, with all deference to the speaker already mentioned, that it is a powerless argument to use on the whisky-seller. I had as soon employ Moral Suasion to induce a mad dog not to bite me, as to use it to restrain the liquor dealer from pursuing his trade, lie defies all morality, and has no heart which can be moved by tender persuasion. I appeal to the Board of Trustees to save the people from the temptations of theso had men. Some how, I feel that it is my right to speak ou this subject, i know by experience the private and domestic woe which comes from drunkenness. I beg the Board to close up these drinking establishments ; and in this way our virtue and happiness will he immeasurably increased. Is any ow of tin- Trustees opposed to this proposition ? If so, I venture to say that lie is afraid to confess his op|K>sition. 5. The last recommendation which I offer is in regard to the removal of nuisances. Of these there are very many, but 1 name only one. Health and comfort alike demand its removal. I suppose that every one will at once conjecture the object of my reference. To prevent any misapprehension, I will frankly say that I allude to a certain soap factory which stands in one of the most densely populated sections of our beautiful town. I declare that I have sometimes been ready, in passing, it to reproach nature for bestowing upon lue the common gift of an olfactory nerve. I am told that persons residing in the neighborhood of the factory have intensely |{om hi noses, purely as the result of holding them so much. Oh, gentlemen of the Board, help! Use the giant arm of your power to wash away this evil. 1 appeal to your " common scents " to decide whether or not it ought to be done. Stkiuule*

I'nu.tc Atthmtioj* intiy well b? directed to the live elegant Pianos recently received at the Richmond Musical Exchange from the justly celebrated house of Charles M. SteilT, of Hultiinoro. These splendid instruments, constructed at the order of our citizens, are really triumphs of American manufacture, and we desire to call the attention of the public to them, :is they will remain fora few days on exhibition. In no brain h of mechanism has ihere been ?io much improvement and so active a rivalry as in the piano manufactory of America. It is cou ceded th.it we can excel the world, and the fame of the American piano is world-wide. The enterprise of our manufacturer* has known no limit, and th? perfection attained by Mr. Charles M. SteilT has been as marked in our land as the enterprise of our laud ha* been marked in the world. Professors, amateurs, learners, and critics, are united in their opinions ; and as with one voice they com* tuond, over all others, the ?'Steiff Piano," combining, ns it does, durability and musical excellence. In sound, it is pure and liquid, with intensity of tone and great volume ; and there is (i grand hariuouy in its modulation, so ili:it its chords are sweet and perfect ; free from the dull and lifeleM metallic harshness too often found in all other Instrument*. In t'ie nice adjustment of the key- board every pi o vision w made for the ease uud comfort of the performer ; the action is sensitive, and the most delicate touch produces the most tho? rou-h etfect with a certain degree of brilliancy which i? highly appreciated, and cannot be too much admired. Altogether, the moet judicious instructors commend these piauos as unequal* led, and the most artistic of performer*, among whom maybe mentioued Straknsch, Rosa, and others, speak of them with enthusiasm and emphasis.
