FIVE FAMOUS OPE RAS, 
T\/TT TsT ^ TsT (P-) Opera by Ambroise Thomas. 
iViiCT AN U IN . This very successful opera first became 
known in Paris, where it slowly but surely worked its 
way to permanent distinction, and has become one of 
the standards. It is very full, occupies 405 pages, and 
furnishes to the purchaser quite a library of music of a 
high order. 
A “PT\ A ($2.) Grand Opera by Verdi. Composed in 
iiiiL/Ai. the first instance for the ruler of Egypt, and 
first given in that ancient kingdom, where also the 
scene of the story is laid. The strange life of old for¬ 
gotten ages comes before us, and is made vivid by the 
thrilling music of one of the most brilliant of composers. 
H A B 1\/ri7'KT ($ 2 -) By Georges Bizet. A Spanish 
WXiJTbAVAijAN . Opera introducing Spanish Gypsies, 
Soldiers, Spanish Dons, a Torreador, and Spanish Con¬ 
traband Traders. We are in contact with the bizarre ways 
and incidents of the Spanish Peninsula, and the music 
is quite in consonance with the prevailing brightness. 
MEPISTOFELETtSefitto 
cording to Goethe, whose poem is closely followed 
throughout. A daring composition, romantic and weird, 
and now widely given, and pronounced a success. 
($2.) By E. von Suppe, whose 
__music is most taking, and who 
introduces us, in a f<ee and easy ar.d humorous way, to 
Russians and Turks during the wa>. Very popular.

BICYCLE. 
The Bicycle, as a permanent, 
practical road-vehicle, is an ac¬ 
knowledged fact, and the thou¬ 
sands in daily use are constantly 
increasing in numbers. It com¬ 
bines speed and endurance that 
no horse can equal, and for plea¬ 
sure or health is far superior to 
any other out-door sport. The 
art of riding is easily acquired, 
and the exercise is recom¬ 
mended by the medical profes¬ 
sion as a means of renewing 
health and strength, as it brings 
into action almost every muscle 
of the hodv. Send Sc. stamp for

Welcome to 1881. Something 
Original.— With the new year come to the 
front, the grandest invention in reed or¬ 
gans the Celestina, or French Horn. 
Z3T This beautiful solo Stop is connected 
with a set of reeds so tuned and voiced as 
to exactly imitate a French Horn. The 
imitation is so marked, that should an 
amatuer musician be standing with his 
back to the organ it would puzzle him to 
determine whether it was really an organ 
or a horn. Besides, this instrument will 
contain the world renown Vox Celeste 
the sweetest stop ever before ulaca 
ed in an organ, charming is the exclama¬ 
tion every Where, Also the Vox Humana. 
A powerful set of Sub Hass Reeds, and 
Octave Coupler which doubles the power 
by pressing your finger on a key of the 
instrument, the key an octave higher will 
come down it self. Do not buy an organ 
unless it contains an octave coupler if you 
do, you are cheated out of one of the finest 
improvements in reed organs. Be sure the 
instrument you purchase contains an oc¬ 
tave coupler. Buy no other* 
New style No. 8,000 contains 17 stops, 5 full 
Bet of Golden Tongue Reeds, 5 octaves, 
beautiful walnut case, french veneering, 
Handles, lamp stands, pocket for music, 
extra large fancy top. Beatty’s new pat¬ 
ent stop action. Height 72 in. depth 24 in. 
length 46 in. weight boxed about 40C lbs. 
The pedals instead of being covered with 
carpet are m6.de of metal. Upright bel¬ 
lows made from the very best quality of 
rubber cloth. It contains a sliding lid 
and has rollers for moving. It is by far 
the best organ for the money ever built 
in this country. Agents (monopolist 
price) for such an instrument would 
range from Si 50 to $450 according 
to tbe customer* 
My price (having no 
Agents) boxed, delivered

stoolibook & music ONLY 
Tilts offer is spocial in order, to intro- 
duce this new instrument. It is a trifle 
above the actual cost to build. 
Everyone who has examined this style 
wonders how I can produce so fine an organ 
for so small amount. My reply to them is. 
1 have the very best facilities for manu¬ 
facturing, and in my enormous and ip- 
creasing trade I usually get out from 1 to 
2 thousand f one style at a time, and it is 
perfectly plain to be seen that I can man¬ 
ufacture at a much less cost than smaller 
concerns. A little margin on each satisfies 
mo. Every instrument sold is a standing ad¬ 
vertisement, they are sure to reoommen l themselves so high that often 25 sales are traced from the first one sold.
