schmucker,s History of the War.


Schmucker's History of the War.
A few DAYS since We had the pleasure to
examine DR.. Schmucker's work. and find it
4 book for the times, profusely and splen-
idly illustrated. We predict for this work
a wonderful popularity, by an able author,
connecting as it does the thrilling incidents
of the war with the heroes of our homes
and hearts. 1t should find place in evsry
library and upon every table. Ii contains
besides a full and complets history Of the
past struggle to put down the great rebel
lion, the causes which gave rise to the war,
reaching back as far az the year 1916. Nu-
merous beautiful and finely executed steel
plate engra~ings and wood cuts, represent
ing battle scenes aud naval engagements.
Every one who desire to be thoroughly post
ed on this great era in our history should
subscribe the first opportunity. A. w.
Smith, or one of his agents, will call upon
our citizens with the above work and solicit
subscribers, and we are sure every one OF
our readers will at once order copy Of Mr
Smith, general agent for Central Ohio,
Randolph and Wayne Counties, Indiana.
p. S.-lf the agent fails to call upon any
person who wishes the work, he can obtain
it by addressing him at Quincy, Ohio. nlC

Long Sermons.

Church-goers of the present day who
dread the prospect of long sermons
should become patient listeners when
they learn that in III n clergyman in
Colesford, in Somersetshire, England,
preached to large congregation ser
mon which consisted of siXty-three
pages of printed matter. When he
reached the end of the thirty-tirst page
he said "Thus have lyon may wish
l could say briefly considered the two
things l proposed in the beginning of
this discourse, and possibly the only in
ference You may desire me to make is
that it is high time for HE to leave off !;
yet, considering that this is the first,
and probably will be the last, instance
of my trespassing upon your patience, l
shall beg leave to conclude with the fol-
lowing differences" The worthy cler-
gyman, who was just halfthrough, then
continued with eight differences, the
discussion of which occupied thirty-two
pages and not inaptly ut the close he
said, "And lhope every good Protestant
will heartily say amen :" which was no
doubt said rs heartily rs the clergyman
desired.

A Feminine Freak.

The Portland correspondent Of the
Boston Herald gives the details of q sim
gular freak on the part of beautiful
young lady, q resident Of a neighboring
town, which has just been brought to
light under very ridiculous circum-
stances. He says: 1T seems that fire.
quently, during the past year, she has
been in the habit of getting herself up
as an aged man, and coming to town on
the cars. In her Disguise she would
stroll about the city to her hearts con-
tent, and return home to tell the few
friends in the secret of the fun she had
enjoyed. If spoken to she feigned deaf
ness. The venerable form had become
quite familiar in our streets; but none
dreamed that beneath those gray hairs
nestled soft riuglets; that beneath
those green goggles nestled pair of
rosuish eyes. But our romantic heroine
came to grief. Protracting her strolls
too long the other day, the train was
leaving as she hmped into the depot.
In her anxiety to get on board she
forgot her years, and ran after it with
such vigor as to astonish the natives.
My HES Johnny, look at that old coon
60 it, exclaimed an enthusiastic news
boy; 'haint he q lively old cock A
smart run enabled the foolish girl to
throw herself upon the rear platform,
but just an she did so away went hat,
wig and goggles. Two gentlemen on the
rear platform were considerably aston
ished, but the young lady had sufficient
presence of mind to explain, in o few
frightened sentences, the position. OF
affairs, and, it being nightfall the gen.
tlemen, who proved to be the genuine
article, got the girl to her home without
further publicity. The young lady sus-
tains an excellent character, and 1t ID
hardly necessary to add that the ludic.
rous upshot of her adventures Is one Of
the oldest inhabitants has Terminated
Der fun-loving proclivitiesin that line.'

Why the Sky il Blue.

1t is generally supposed that the blue
color of the sky is due to moisture in
our atmosphere, and the idea seems to
he confirmed by the intensity of the
color during the moist weather of sum-
mer, when compared with the sky of
the more dry-weathered winter. 1t has
recently been shown by Prof. Cooke, Of
Cambridge, i'll paper read to the
American Academy of Arts aud Sciences,
that this view is correct. He has found
by means of the spectroscOpe, very
delicate instrument of analysis, by
which the most minute substances, even
when ut distance, can he detected,
that the aqueous vapor of the atmos-
phere absorbs most powerfully the yell
low and red rays emanating from the
sun, leaving the blue rays to be trans,
mitted, and thus accounting for the
color of the sky. The instrument also
proves that the color is due to simple
absorption of these rays by the water
and not to repeated reflections from thu
surface of an intinity of drops.

shoes.
DIR. Brown, author of "Rab and his
Friends" discourses thus on Shoes and
what people are willing 10 suffer in
wearing them:
1t is amazing the misery the people of
civilization endure in and from their
shoes. Nobody is ever, as they should
be, comfortable ut once in them; they
hope in the long run, after much agony,
and when they are nearly done, to make
them fit, especially if they can get them
once we'll wet, so that the mighty knob
of the big toe may adjust himself and
be at ease. For my part, if were rich,
l would advertise for clean, whole
some man, whose foot was exactly my
size, and I would make him wear my
shoes till / could put them on and not
know l was in them. Why is all thisi
Why do YOU see every mans and every
woman's feet out of shapei Why are
there corns, with their miseries and NAL
edictions of those lat are "soft" Why
do our nails grow in and sometimes have
to be torn violently off All because the
makers and users of shoes have not con-
mon sense, and common reverence for
God and His works enough to study the
shape and motions of that wonderful
pivot on which we turn and progress.
Because Fashion-that demon that l
wish saw dressed in her own crinoline,
in bad shoes, Il mans old hat, and trail
ing petticoats, and her (for she must be
her, waist well nipt by circle of
nails with the points Utmost, and any
other of the small torments, mischiefs,
absurdities she destroys and makes fools
of us with-whom, say, wish l saw
drummed and Missed, blazing and shrek
ing out of the world; because this con-
temptible slave, which domineers over
her MAKERS, says the shoe must be ele-
CANT, must be so and so, and the beauti.
full living foot must be crushed into it,
and human nature must limp along
Princess street and through life natty
and wretched.

- G,,., In,eT..I Imprsve.enis

Three G-e.s IntefHal Imprsve.enss
Of the Age.
Three or the greatest works of Inter
nal improvement which characterize
our tim ., are the great American Rail-
way, that viii span the Rocky Noun
tains, and unite the Atlantic with the
Pacific coast; the Tunnel through the
Alps, which is to unite France with
Italy, and the Suez Canal, that is to
unite the Mediterranean and the Red
Sea. Trains will probably be running
from Maine to California in about two
years. Men will dive into the Alps on
the French side, and some out, in glow
ing sunshine, on the plains of Italy, in
about five years, man may embark on
Lake Superior, and pass all the way to
Japan, and thence by way OF Cape
Horn, or the Strait of Magellan, return
to the place of embarkation, without
once going out of his ship. The Suez
Canal project was first conceived by
Napoleon /. One Of his great hob
bies was to strike England through
her Indian possessions, and it was
through Egypt that he proposed to do
this. Hence his expedition to that
country, and his attempt to establish
the French Empire there. 1t was prob
ably while he was encamped on the
burning sands in the shadow of the
pyramids, that he conceived the idea OF
this stupendous work. Much Of the
East India trade that now passes around
the Cape of Good Hope, will be devia-
ted to this canal, and great revolutions,
consequently. will take place In the
shipping aud other interests. The Medi-
terranean will again become the store
house of the silks and the spices of the
East, as it was in the palmy days Of
Venice-ths ship and the canal being
substituted for the camel. And III like
manner, much of the Pacific trade that
now passes around Cape Horn will
come and go overland, on the great At
lantic and Pacific Railway. Should
the estate of the Sick Nan, in Turkey,
ever be administered on, England will,
of necessity, have to demand as her
share, the Suez canal, if not the whole
of the Egyptian Isthmus.
