Such are the titles Of three books laid
on our table by H. H. Bancroft b Co.
They are in pamphlet form, and sell for
o half dollar. But aside from noticing
the books for the benefit Of the publish
er, we desire to express our deliberate
opinion that they should be read con-
secutively BY every man and 'oo"a",
aud every youth arrived at the age OF
puberty. Parents should place these
works within the reach Of oil young men
and romen.
The 6rst reviews the whole subject Of
those fashionable practices by which the
married stiae life before birth the
second is moro particularly directed to
men, and If read and obeyed would pre-
vent one-half the misery which is COM
mon to the world the third is like the
first, but Is far more full, and is espe-
cially directed to women, and fixes the
responsibility in burning words for
ehild.murder. Would that we could pre-
scot 10 the general reader a complete
review of the works. They come in-
dorsed by the learned and the wise OF
the land they are written iu such a
manner as to awaken the conscience
and convince the understanding Of oil,

WASHINGTON, July l5th.-Radicals from
Mississippi appeared before the Recon-
struction Committee to-day demanding
the exclusion from the counting of votes
in several counties, alleging that n
reign Of terror existed.
The general belief to-day is that Con-
gress will adjourn on Monday or Tues
day.
The President has nominated Sherman
Day as Surveyor General of California
and Thos. Bowen as Chief Justice OF
the Supreme Court Of Idaho.
New YORK, July l5th.-Thirty.nine

Twelve deaths from sun-stroke occurred
to-day.

Schenck made q report from the COM
mit,ee of conference on the Tax bill,
which was agreed to, aud the bill
passed.
Scheuck explained that all that portion
Of the bill relative to banks had been
stricken out, and the special agents
limited to s25 in number. Mineral oil
is put on the same footing as regards
other manufactures. There is no tax
per gallon on petroleum. Spirits in
bond orc required TO be moved in nine
months. The special tax on distillers
remains as heretofore. The tax on sales
Of wholesale liquor dealers will be one
per cent. By the provisions relating to
Inspectors, 1900 OF l,7oO officers will
be got rid of, only about 10000 In
spectors being left to inspect tobacco,

Revenue officers more than half.

hus just come in from Sioux City in
forms US that q strip Of about one hun
dred and fifty miles wide, extending
from southwestern Dakota-chiefiy be-
tween the Des Moines aud Missouri
rivers-to the southwestern boundary Of
Iowa, there will be scarcely a wheat
field left exempt from total destruction
by these vermin. They fill the air and
cover the ground, making a constant
sound like that Of q heavy shower.
They sometimes gather over night in
such myrisds upon the track OF the
railroad as to stop the train BY lubri-
eating the track when crushed by the
wheels. They devour wheat first, and
afterwards take to oats and weeds,
leaving grass and otEer crops compare

HoRRoRs OF "HIoH LIFE" IN PARIS
" Child-mistresses" are the latest hor'
rible developments Of high life in Paris.
It is fashionable now to keep the mis-.
,resses such as delighted the Infamous
Louis XIV. at the Pare CERT. For in.
stance, the little Gregoiue, who two
years ago played the violin at the Cafe
dc France, and who was so generally
admired for her beauty, is now kept by
the old yicomte de Bay, in a house In
the Rue d'cajoue. The pretty little
creature could not be more than ten
years old when she played Mt the above
named cafe. Other instances of the
same description are mentioned. Al
the last meeting Of the editors OF the
Paris opposition papers this subject wa'
preached, and several journalists were
in favor of publishing the names Of the
scoundrels guilty Of such infamies. But
the majority thought the Government
would shield them, because some o.
them are members of the corps legisla-
tiff, aud that the corrupt tribunals
would condemn every journal bold
enough to denounce these denominations
