THE AMERICAN CONFLICT.

We desire to call the attention of our readers
to this Standard History of the American Rebel
lion, by Horace Greeley.
In its character and scope it has no competitor
among all the Histories of the War.
We assure our readers that Mr.. Greeley's
treatment of the subject is honest, impartial,
straightforward and thorough. He permits pub
lie men, and political parties, to define their own
positions, in speeches, letters and platforms. All
of his statements are well fortified with statistical
proof, and copious notes; he goes to the root and
source, and, with masters hand, traces the
growing conflict through the entire period of our
National Life His styles vigorous and inspir-
ing. In point of typographical execution and
beauty of embellishments, it is work of the very
highest order. No intelligent American can afiorC
10 be without it. The work is sold only by sub
scription. Vol. is now ready for delivery by
G go. & C. w. SHERWOOD, lls Lake St, Chicago
Ill.,, and by their Agents. Vol. H., which com
plees the work, Is nearly prepared. We advis

A steamer of 200 tons is about leaving
Hamburg, under command Of Capt Hage-
mann, on an exploration tour to the Arctic
Ocean, and it is said to be the pioneer of an
expedition upon large scale. The expe-
dition will proceed TO the eastern coast of
Spitzbergen, possibly also to ellis Land
from which point the actual object of explo-
ration will be entered upon. This is tc
asceraln by careful examination of the
seas between SpiIzbergen and Nova Zemba
whether DR.. Petermann's conjectures as tc
the direction Of the Gulf stream are correct
The funds for the exploration have beer
partly raised by subscription among the
Senate and citizens of Hamburg.

To MAKE Coon CIDER.-The apples
should be ripe and sound. Don't press the
cheese until the cider runs clear. After
filling the barrels, remove them immediate
ly 10 cool cellar-let them stand with the
bung open until the sediment begins to drop
down; then close them, and pretty soon
after give it the first racking. About
three rackings will remove all sediment.
Bottle before the weather becomes warm
enough for the trees TO put out; fill the bot
ties one-half inch from the corks; let them
stand twenty-four hours after filling; then
take bowl of boiling water, dip IN the
end of cork to 60 in the bottle in the water;
hold the bottle in the left hand by the neck
and drive the cork in with a piece of fence
lath. The bottles are then buried in the
sand in the cellar. By this process our
best Jersey apples will make cider that has
often been drank by epicures for cham
payne wine and will not change for years

water be used on the straw. In packing

A TERRIBLE PREDICTION.

Professor Leonidas, an indianapolis as
trologer, after looking at the rings around
the sun, makes the following horrible
prophecy: 81 observe by the planets that a
dreadful plague will commence In Russia
originating from silks brought over from
Egypt, Carlo and Turkey. 1t will extend
across the Baltic Sea, desolate Germany,
cause immense mortality in England, and
then spread to the United States. This
dreadful epidemic will spot the people like
leopard and turn the flesh to purple
black. The pestlence will carry off such
an amount of mortals that there will not be
enough left 10 bury the dead or give them
Christian burial. The streets of our
cities, towns and villages will be swarmed
with the dead and dying. The groans and
yels of horror will fill every breast with
Consideration. Confusion will abound on
all sides. The death knell will cease tc
toll as the malady RACES in fury. The in
fected will fall and die wherever they take
it. The stencil Of the dead will become SC
common that the survivors will not heed it. :

1t is said that the Hannibal s. St. Joseph
railroad is being thoroughly overhauled-
the grade reduced-new iron and new ties
going down-and will ere long be in tip
top condition, This will be good news to
shippers and others on that road, who have
suffered many Inconvenience from the in
capacity of the road to meet the demands
upon it. We learn that the company has
had upon the road for sometime back all the
rolling stock it would bear, and until the
grades are reduced anu other improvements
made it cannot perform more work than it
has been doing. But as the necessary i'm.
provements are being made, ere long the
road will admit of an additional amount oil
rolling stock, and thus increase its capacity
TO accommodate more efficiently and more
speedily its largely increased and still in

ADVICE MATRIMoNIAL.-When the cool

thy wife, but listen to rot all she says

The following account is given of the
death of Stonewall Jackson:
He received one ball in the shoulder
joint, SCATTERING the bone and severing the
chief artery second ball passed through
the same arm between the elbow and wrist,
making its exit through the palm of his
right hsnd about the middle, and passing
through, broke two Of the bones. At the
moment when he was struck, he was hold
ing his rein in his left hand, and the right
was raised either in the singular gesture
habitual to him. at times of excitement, or
to protect his face from the boughs Of the
trees. His left hand Immediately dropped
at his side, and his horse no longer con-
trolled by the rein, and frightened at the
firing, wheeled suddenly and ran from the
fire in the direction of the Federal lines.
Jackson's helpless condition now exposed
him 10 distressing accident. His horse
ran violently between two trees; from one
Of which horizontal bough extended, al
about the height of his head, TO the other
and, as he passed between the trees, thi.
Dough struck him in the face, and tore of
his cap and threw him violently back on hi
horse. The blow was so violent as nearly
TO unseat him, but did not do so, and rising
erect again, he caught the bride with th'
broken and bleeding fingers of his RICH
hand and succeeded in turning his hors
back into the turnpike. Here Captain vii
bourn, of his staff, succeeded in catching tn
reins and checking the animal, who wa
