BY WILLIAM G. NELL.
1896 pages. Price 81. Postage 10 cents
This work has been compiled as a means of en-
tightening public sentiment on an interesting but
much neglected department of American History,
and is graced with an introduction by Mrs. Hsr-
riet Beecher Stowe, and illustrated by engravings
of Crispus Attucks, the first martyr in the Boston
massacre of March 9th, 1770; Peter Salem on
Bunker Hill, and a facsimile autograph certifi-
cate of General Washington, rendered to colored
soldier. The increasing interest on the general
subject of Slavery invests this book with rare at
traction at the present time, for throughout its
pages are exhibited various phases of the pecu-
liar institution interviewer with incidents Of pat
riotism and bravery of colored Americans in the
days that tried mems souls"

GOOD story is told Of Washington
county man, who on his way to Cincinnati,
became somewhat elevated by sundry drinks,
but as good luck would have it, found boat
at the wharf and was quickly on his way.
Soon after leaving the wharf, a man came
around for his fare. Horrall handed out five
dol ar bill, and received four dollars and nine.
ty five cents in change. lie rammed it into
his pocket book, with great eargerness, sup
posing the clerk had made mistake. That
done, he leaned back in his chair and fell
asleep. A little while and he was plucked
awake 10y the. same man, who again demand
ed fare "Discovered the mistake" thought
he, holding out handful Of change. The
man, as before took only five cents, and
HorrNll again went into dose Ere he bad
far away, around came the collector again,
and thusit went for a long time.
AT last Horrall thought it very inconve-
nient, and concluded to vote the collector a
nuisance, and give him bit of advice; 40,

METEoRs FALLING INTO THE SuN-On
the lst Of September last, distinguished
astronomer, Mr. Darlington, had directed
his telescope to the sun and was engaged in
observing his spots, when suddenly two in
tensy luminous bodies burst into view on
its surface They moved side by side through
a space Of about $4,000 miles, first increas
ing in brightness, then fading away; in five
minutes they had vanished This remarka-
Bile phenomenon was witnessed and confirm
ed by another observer, Mr.. Hodgson, at
Highgate, who, by happy coincidence. had
also his telescope directed to the great lu-
minary at the same instant 1t may be,
therefore, that these two gentlemen have ac-
tually witnes ed the process of feeding the
