with kind Of JUNCTION, "he is just such vile,

The sale OF the "Helptr Book goes on -
Many democrats who have read the "book"
here are at loss to know why the South has
made such fuss about it, as it says nothing to
the slaves The fact is. the Shareholders DO not
fear that the "HelpeT Book will create an Ia
surrection among their slaves, but it will, from
it's strong array of facts, create a political in>
sHrreeiiOH among tho non slaveholding white
population Of the Slave States, who are DOW

tells.
The papers state that "IIarper's Magazine"
is being returned from the South, because the
elegant and accomplished writer and lecturer
Mr.. GEO. W. CURTIS, is one Of the Editors Of
that popular Magazine. If some of the South.
ern shareholders refuse to read that Magazine
Of the Harper5, others of them wisely select
the HARPERs as their publishers; as they have
within few weeks published the following
books by Southern authors. Fishers River,
DC ,""The Diary Of Samaritan by a member
of the Howard Association of New Orleans"
and the "Life and Times of Gen. Sam. Dale,
the Mississippi Partisan, by J. F. II. Clai-
borne" Think you the indignant South will
turn its indignation upon ga member of the
Howard Association OF New Orleans" whose
good works and deeds of humanity are known
wide as the world, because he seeks the teeming
Press of the Harpers to give to the public a
series Of the most interesting and exciting
sketches from real life; or, that they will drive
out from them the Hon. Mr. Claiborne, late
member Of Congress from Mississippi, because
he has rescued from oblivion, the pioneer life
the Indian fights-the daring exploits-:he ne.
roie charscter-the dauntless courage and de-
voted patriotism of Gen. Dale, whose name
was familiar as a household word to all the
early log-cabin settlers Of the Southwest, as
well as a terror to the Indian tribes, whose
"massacres" of the "early settlers" are yet
familiar tales of the venerable men who still
linger here and there memorials Of a glorious,
heroic, and dangerous past! Thanks to Mr..
Claiborne, for this book. 1t will find thousands
of readers in the South and West and the
Hunters of Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and
Mississippi, will live their lives over again and
have their youth renewed, as they bend over
its exciting pages, and read Of scenes of
"troublous times, "when the war whoop was
ked the sleep Of the cradle"
Miss CATHERINE E. BEEcHER's new book, Gan
appeal to the People in behalf of their rights
as authorized interpreters of the Bible" is Just
out from the Press of theI IHarpers. It is ded-
icated "to the Editors OF the Secular Press, the
true tribune of the People" This truly is
the dedication to a mighty pOlOer in this land;
and it is dedication which not only shows
great discernment By Miss BEEcHER, but her
confidence in the people as interpreters of the
Bible. I am inclined to think this book will give
the Theologians something 70 do. The Beech
erS keep up a continual thinking; and they are
for the largest liberty, and the freest thought.
They take no opinions upon trust-hold all
men fallible-and apply 10 every doctrine and
creed, the test Of the crucible of truth
Miss Beecher shows that creed makers have
crossed each others tracks as often as Railroad
t a;ks at Indianapolis or Fitchburg cross each
other, and that they have ticketed their psssen-
gers for as many routes to that 'betser land"
where the "weary are at rest" as trave lers are
ticketed in this city for all parts of this wide
world. Let me commend the xxth chapter of
this volume to the special attention of all read
ers as one full of beauty, and jeweled with great
truths.
The Money Market is much easier-an abun-
dance of it on call at per cent. Ohio State
Stocks, skies of 1870, sold for lO74, and SKIES
of 1886 at l09 These high figures do not
bring out the stock Over 50, ,000, 900 are held
BY the Savings Banks of this city. No stock
has better credit and none is so much sought for
safe investment G. O. & G. was
sold for ssi this week. A 10 per cent. stock
should be higher, in a road so well managed as
this
Ohio State Stocks are 80 per cent. higher
than Missouri 5; % per per cent higher than
and ls per cent above the State
Stock of Virginia. This is q significant fact,
and Ohio is Republican State, and beievesi in
free soil for free men.
Very much interest is felt here in the cleo.
tiOn of Gov. Chase, to the United States SEN
ate, as the people need his services either. in
the Senate, or in the Presidential Chair.
