Mntmritclurcd ,
The last number of the American Art
Journnl contains the following concern-
ng the Ilnrdman pianos , of which J.
Mueller of thii city is the gonornl agent :
Among the wide nwako and progres
sive manufacturersin the plnno trade
ire Hardmnu , Bowling & Peck. During
Lho past year tnoy have added many im
provements to their instruments. With-
jut regard to cost they have worked to
nako their pianos equal to the very boat
in the market , and they nro entitled to
nuch credit for what they have nccomp-
ishod. While they have practically a
full iron frame in their Uprights , they
mvo overcome onoof the chief difllcultios
and bad effects resulting from Its use , in
covering ita wrcstpluiik.
As constructed by most manufacturers
who have adopted the full iron frame
.ho pins aVe made to pass through the
'rnmo , giving a leverage of half and inch
or more on the pins , which , to n certain
extent , affects the vibrations of the
strings , and consequently the solidity and
nirenosa of tone.
In this respect Hardman , Bowling &
Peck have , in their now uprighto , nil the
Donoflta of n full and complete iron
frame extending to the top of the piano ,
while that part of the wrcstplank in
which the pinn are driven is froo.
On account of thcso improvements nnd
the excellent workmanship nnd material
used in the Hardman pianos , the manu
facturers have boon obliged to advance
their prices : As might bo expected , un-
ler the circumstances , all of their agonta
lave expressed a perfect willingnces to
[ iay the increased price , nnd continue to
: iuah the instruments the same as hereto-
[ ore.

DcBcncrncy of Sport.
"Sport" is getting to bo more and more
disreputable. There is too much inevita
bio crookedness. It is hardly necessary l <
refer to the tendency of prize lights to tapei
off into fizzles nnd funks. There is perpet
ual quarrel ing upon rsco courses ; and ever
the innocent matches at base ball nnc
Jricket give rise to multitudinous growl
nigs nbout unfair play. All decent peoph
will bo glad that prize fighting has nnhttc
.0 a swift , degeneration ; but it seems hart
tbnt competitions which might be Innocent
Wild in some indirect way useful , shouli
lapse into mere money-making schemes
Moral people will say that it all comes ol
the betting ; nnd the question therefore
obtrudes itself whether wo cannot have
athletic contests without the curhc of bet
ting. Apparently we cannot. Perhaps the
ancients bet upon the result of the Olympic
games , but from what uo knew of them
they seem to l.iivo been engaged in for tin
sake of honor. "Kport" on the turf , on the
river , or in the ring , has degenerated intc
mere money-making. The rest follows a <
a matter of course. If a pcdcstrain car
gain cash by losing n match ha will be
likely to lee it. If there bo pecuniary
profit in selling a race , it will bo sold. One
feels that this ought to bo different ainonj :
amateurs , who are presumably gentlemen
but still thi'10 is as much Mjiuibbllng witli
them as with professionals. Unless there
is a general reform , the issue is evident
There will BOOH bo no more "sport" having
the slightest claim to respectability.

Somewhere about ! l,000 workmen , COO or
' 00aguns , 17 or 18 Inconuitivo engines ,
j steam "navvies" and a great quantity of
nineir machinery of vat ions kinds vteru en
gaged from 1K75 to lfv-l ) at the * southeast
end of London in a work compared with
vhieh the building of the pyramids with
nodern appliances would have been no
signal feat , Previously the ono entrance
o the Victoria docks from the/Thames had
been at lllackwcll Point , but now there is
dock capable of receiving all vessels no
natter vt hat they might be. Three and a
udf miles of walls were built , enclosing
00 acres of water. Thc.se walls are 4(1 ( feet
ligli , 5 feet thick at the .top and 18 feet to
19 feet thick at the bottom , the whole of
.his enormous mass being composed of
solid concrete for which 80,000 tons of
L'ortlauil cement was used. Some -1,000,00(1 (
cubic feet of earth vuw dugout. It may
assist the imagination somewhat to state
Lhat if it were filled into ordinary carts ,
Iho vehicles would form an unbroken line
7,000 miles long. The excavations went
tnrongh a submerged forest , and among
thcr curiosities elug out were a reindeer's
lioru , n Koiuan vase and what is bup'poseel
to be an ancient British canoe carved out
of solid oak. The latter is now in the
British museum. The new entrance below
Woolwich saves about ! ! } miles of rlvci
navigation , which , in the case of vessel !
of heavy draught , is , of course , a inaltei
of great importance. The London and St
Kathcrine's and Victoria Docks Company
arc now prepared for \ easels of all kinds
not excluding the largest irouclails of tin
llrit'.sh navy. The cost was about 1,000 ,

/low Mules Ci\f ± o into Fashion.
Few of the fanners of this country ar
ttwaro what a depth of gratitude they ow
Peorge Washington for thointioduclionol
mules into general use for farm purposes.
Previous to 17HI ? there were very few
and those of .Mich infciior older as to prejudice
judico farmers against them as unfit t
competes with horses in work upon the ron
or farm. Consequently there wciuuo jack :
und no disposition to increase the stock
but Washington became convinced that th
introduction of mules generally anion
Southern planters would prove to them
great blessing , ns they are less liable to eli :
case , longer lived auel work upon shortc
feed , and arc much less liable to he Injure
than horses by caicless servants. As boo
ns it became known abroad that the illni
trlous Washington * dcsircel to stock th
Mount Vcrnon cstato with mules , tin Kin

other was called the Knight of Malta ; h
