Knowing from the Huron deserters the

doubt of an easy victory. They advano-

quois before their blood was up, soreeoh-
ing, leaping from side to side, and firing
ae they came on ; but the French were at
their posts, and every loop•holedarted its
tongue of fire. The Iroquois, astonished
at the persistent vigor of the defence, fell
back discomfited. no fire of the French,
who were themselves completely under
oover, lead told upon them with deadly
effect. Three days more wore away in a

Fine violins are, made in the United
States, but they don't compete with Ger-
man manufacturers in making cheap
ones. There are imported violins that
are sold at wholesale, with strings mom.
plate, ready for use, as low as fifty Dents
each ; there are violin bows that are sold
at wholesale as low as eighty cents a do-
zen. Such a violin would sell at retail
for about a dollar, and such a bow per-
haps for a quarter; a pretty cheap musi-
cal outfit. Instruments of this sort are
sold mostly in the West and South, and
large numbers of them are sold. When
one takes into account the manufactur-
er's and the importer's profit, and the
fact that an import duty .profit,
paid also, it
will be seen that the original cost of this
violin must have been very small. Other
violins are imported through a wide range
of prions from this up.
