HAS now become an established fact, acknow ledged by the best judges of music in all parts of the country, that the Mathushek Piano, Is bound to take the lead for Rich, Pure, and Powerftal Tone! Which speaks for itself in notes of triumph over all others. The Reason of this Great Superiority is apparent to all who carefully examine the pecu liar mechanism of these instruments in The Equalizing: Scale, which distributes the teusion of the strings upon all parts «>f the frame,relieving the instrument from concentrated strain in any one part, thus securing much greater strength, durability, and power of keeping in tune. Tke Greater Length of Strings, through aN the treble and middle notes, the distri bution of strings upon the Linear Krldge, which runs the whole length of the sounding board, giving greatly Increased Power of Vibration throughout its entire length, producing a purer tone and better accompaniment to the voice than any other instrument. All interested are invited to call on 1. C. HOVEY, At 109 Water Street, and examine for them selves, where the above named instruments can be seen and heard, and will be kept for sale.

In the year 7bit, the Spanish Kingdom became independent, and the three cen turies following were the most prosperous in the history of Mohammedan Spain. But the golden age was during the tenth century. The Moors, though warlike, were still industrious, and agriculture flourished In Spain during those years as it has never flourished there sinee. Roads and bridges were constructed, and canals for fertiliz ing the ground were formed in all parts of the country. Learning, too, was encour aged by the kings of Cordova; and at the close of the eleventh century, Moorish Spain could boast her seventy large libra ries while her poets, orators, historians, philosophers, and mathematicians, were second to none of that age. Cordova, the capital, was equal to many cities like the Cordova of to-day. At one time, there were in that city six hundred large mosques and nearly four thousand chapels or tnosqoes of smaller dimensions; four thousand three hundred minarets or towers, from which the peo ple were called to prayers; nine hundred baths; more than eighty thousand shops; sixty thousand palaces and mansions; and two hundred and thirteen thousand com mon houses. The city extended eight leagues along the Guadalquivir. We can form some idea of its splendor when we are told that a palace, built near the city by Abdercahmau 111, had its roof support ed by more than four thousand pillars of variegated marble: that the floors and walls were of the same costly material; that the chief apartments were adorned with exquisite fountaius ami baths, and the whole surrounded by the most magnificent rrrnnnils In 1031, the kingdom of Cordova came to an end, and several petty kingdom* took its place.. But soon these kingdom* became dependent upon the Arabic inon archs of Northern Africa. During the eleventh and twelfth centuries the Chris tians gained rapidly on the Moors; and by the year 1238, the date of the foundation of the kingdom of Granada, the latter peo ple retained only a part of Southern Spain. The little kingdom of Granada, though only some seventy leagues in length by thirty in breadth, contains thirty-two large cities, ninety-seven smaller ones, and a population of three millions. The city of Granada alone had seventy thousand houses. This kingdom held out against the Christians till the beginning of the year 1492. With the fall of Granada came the close of tho Moorish rule in the Peninsula. A few years later, many of the Moors were expelled from the country. But the trav eller still see* in various parts of Spain numerous traces of their dominion, lie sees these traces in the Oriental style of the edifices, in the alcazars, in the mosqncs, now converted into Christiau churches, in the beautiful palace of the Alhambra, and in the canals which still fertilize the soil from which those who made them were expelled more than three centuries ago.
