A KNABE IN THE WHITE HOLISL. 

 There was seen yesterdny at Messrs. Knalje ACo.'s 

 factory a magnifieent eonoert fjrand, just liiiished by 

 them for the presideutii'l mauslon. President Arthur, 

 who is a thorough connoisseur of music, in selecting 

 a piano for the White House decided in favor of the 

 Knabe Piano as his preference, and ordered accord- 

 ingly the instrument referred to. It is a con ert 

 grand of beautiful finish in a richly carved rosewood 

 case, and of superb tone and action — an instrument 

 worthy in every respect of the place it is to occupy.
