In Salem, Mass, one day last week, a
runaway horse was dashing up Central
street at furious rate, when well-dress-
ed lady rushed in front of him with her
sun umbrella spread, and fourished it
toward the frightened animal. The
horse thus suddenly checked, went down
on his launches, and was kept there by
the lady until the driver came up and
took care of his team. The lady quietly
walked off, as though nothing unusual
had occurred. - !

A MAN in Lowell, Washington county,
Ohio, crawled into an ice-house one of
those hot days last week, and lay down
and went to sleep. He was there few
hours when some one discovered him.
He was apparently dead. but vigorous

Recent Publications.

Harper & Brothers, New York. are the
American publishers of a new work from the
pen Of the venerable DR. Friedrich wiIbaIm
Krummacher, Professor OF Theology in the
University of Potsdam. 1t is entitled Dnpi5
the King Of Israel, and undertakes to present
full historic portrait of King David, drawn
from the bible record, and more especially
from the book of Psalms. The translation,
which Is made under the express sanction of
the author, is by the Rev. NJ G. Eaton. In
preface write II for the American edition DIR.
krummacher says: "Across the Atlantic
Ocean l send to my fellow-soldiers of the Gross
IN America greeting and blessing, and extend
10 them-so far away and yet so near-with
faithful affection, the hand of brotherhood.
David, the King, will, think, not
be unweleome to the Republic of the United
States,-the mighty Republic. The book pre-
tends to nothing more than an effort to
make plain the way-for here and there one
who needs ito that far greater One than
David, to Him whom, though he was Dayid's
son after the flesh, he calls, in prayerful wor-
ship, his Lord" The volume is handsomely
printed, and has portrait of the author. IRE
ceived by Hall L. Davis.)
Inc same publishers have issued little pock-
ct volume, bound in flexible cloth, called HQr-
per's Phrase-Book of English, French, German.
and Italian, and intended to be a travellers
cdde naecuna. 1t is prepared with evident care
and skill by Mr.. w. p. Fetridge, and seems
from the examination we have been able to
give it, to be all it claims to be, convenient
and practical handbook for the use of travel
lers in Continental Europe. 1t tells you how
to ask in French, German or Italian. for the
things you are likely to want; and moreover
it teaches you to put the question in such a
way that you can understand the answer
This is very great advance on previous
works OF the kind, which have usually en-
ployed forms so arbitrary as to require a par
tcular answer, and if the reply varied from
that the traveller was as much at loss as
ever The questions in Hdrper's Phrase Book
are mostly direct, and yes and ne are answers

Ihe hexhaustible invention of Miss Brad
don has produced another novel which she
calls Chdrlotte's Inheritance, and which is re-
printed by the Harpers as No 81 of their Lii
brary of Select Novels. We never criticise
Miss Braddon's productions. Everybody knows
the kind of stuff she writes, and the people
who read such trash-after the first taste of its
quality-are beyond the reach of anything we
convey. (Received by Hall L. Davis.)

How Peter she Great Punished Libel.
We are indebted to Capt. j. B. Coyle for an
opportunity to examine newspapers and other
documents in his possession which are of great
interest on account of their antiquity. We
shall hereafter refer to them more at length.
Among them is "Wait's York, Cumberland
and Lincoln Almanack," published in this city
in 1895. The preface is taken bodily from
'Poor Richard" and the calendar pages are
enlvened by appropriate quotations from
Thompson's Seasons. Among other curious
matters in the miscellaneous department we
find the following account of the manner in
which Russian libeller was made to eat his
own words:
While l resided at Moscow, there was a gen.
tleman who thought fit to publish quarto
volume in vindication of the liberties of the
subjects, grossly rejecting upon the unlimit-
ed mower Of the Gear Peter and exposing the
iniquity of the whole legislature lit it NAV he

author, condemned to dthis oac1a acords This
sentence was literally carried into execution
on the following day. A scaffold was erected
in the most populous part of the town; the
imperial provost was the executioner, and all
the magistrates attended the ceremony. The
book was severed from the binding. the mar
gins were cut off, and every leaf was rolled
up, as near as can recollect, in the iofn OF q
lottery ticket, when it is taken out of the
wheel at Guildball by the blue-coat boy. Inc
author of the libel was then served with them
separately by the provost, who put them into
his mouth, to the no small diversion OF the

csssagnac's History Of thS Working and
Burgher Glasses.

We give in this issue the third chapter
ofthis work, which treats Of the origin OF
slavery. This chapter is one OF great
interest to the historian, the classic
scholar, the etymologisi, the moralist
aud the Christian, the capitalist and the
workiugman.
A striking feature Of the relations ex'
isting between master and slave-the
co-relaiive obligation of the master TO
render, in return for the service OF the
slave, protection, sustenance and kind
treatment to bis dependents-led the
ancients TO express the authority OF the
masters by the Latin word Piefds, which
we translate Pisty.
The object Of a certain class OF mod
ern Reformers, pseudo-humanitarians
Is 70 take from the complex relations OF
master and selvanf, Of employer and
employe, Of the hirer Of labor aud the
laborer or uorkinemsn, all those ele-
menls in which the piefy consisted
leaving only the ugly and repulsive feA-
lures Of slavery
Their idea is not 10 better the condi-
ton Of the slave; bat 10 make free labor
cheaper than slave labor BY reds-
cling the wages Of free labor
below the cost Of feeding and clothing
slaves and caring for them in infancy,

l. The Conservative men of Tennessee. put
ting aside all questions decided by the war, q, y
cept the title of !" Democrats" and formally
unite themselves with the Democratic party as
il now exists.
3. The question of the right Of State to se-
cede from the Union has been decided by arms,
and that decision should be accepted as hnal
and conclusive.
8. Nevertheless, while demonstration makes
tho Federal Government supreme, II is so only
with well defined limitations and. restrictions,
leaving the States large rights and powers over
their domestic concerns, and making them CO.
equal in respect of such rights; and these
rights have not been impaired by the result OF
the war, or the powers Of the General Govorn
ment aggrandized by it, to the enhancement
of publ c liberty.
4. The extinguishment of African slavery is
recognized as fact, ratified by bin ling con-
stituuonal amendment.
5. The invsstitnre Of negroes with the right
of suffrage, by the Congress Of the United
States, and the disfranchisement Of white
men, by the same authority, is a gross usurpa.
ton Of power, end policy unjust, unwise and
oppressive, and tending to excite war OF
races: the white men of America are entitled
TO superiority and supremacy in the admins
tration of the Fed raj and state Governments;
and any measure intended TO deprive them OF
il, or to divide or impair il, greatly endangers
the perpetuiiy of free republican Institutions.
