NIGHT SCENES IN THE BIBLE By Rev. Dan
iel March, D. D.. author of walks anG
Homes of Jesus" Published by Zeigler
McCurdy & Co., Philadelphia, Cincinnati
Chicago, and ST. Louis.
We have received this volume from the
publishers, and have been much interested in
it. Its material part has been thoroughly
cared for. 1t is an elegant octave of about
$50 pages, upon paper not only superior, but
even superb. 1t is adorned with twelve en-
cravings illustrating articles included within
the body of the work, viz; "The night Of
Agony" Jacobs night at Bethel" THE
night passage of the Sea, "Saul's night at
Eudor." Might watch in Mount SER, "Je.
sus' night on the Mountain, =" 1.-The night Of
Temptation, THE night of fruitless toll, ="
Angel visits in the night, " " Midnight in the
prison at Philippi," "Paul's night in the
Deep" The subject of the last article and Of
the last illustration is in beautiful taste
No night in Heaven
The whole number of articles in the volume
is %. Those we have found time to read meet
our cordial approval They are upon topics
among the most remarkable in the Bible,
they are written with much discrimination OF
thought and in style of chaste simplicity
They are at once interesting and instructive,
suited to elevate and to purify.
Taken altogether, this book is one of the
best suited for an elegant gift that we have
seen. The publishers are To be hiphlv com
mended for bringing out, on the approach Of
the Christmas holidays, so fue a production,
and we wish them such ample success as shall
fully compensate them for work so merto
rious-a book to make its reader both wiser
and better.

IOWA CENTRAL RAILROAD.

The General Assembly OF the State cf Iowa
hive passed law authorizing taxation by
each township through which any Railroad
may pass. Whether or not such law is ac-
ceptablc 10 the wishes of the people of Tama
county, we arc no. informed, only as it is res
tiected through the new "Text Book" We,
however, regard this work entirely unreliable
i'll this respect, at least. SO far as rejecting
the sentiments Of the people, because it is
very wrecklcss and wholesale in its declara-
tlons, soaring Off on ssmagi.ation's magic
wings" and forgcts the common walks
of life along which common people travel
We suppose the people Of lama county to be
thinking people, people who look at the affairs
OF life i'll q reasonable light, and take cons
mon sense view Of matters ind from these
facts or conclusions Of ours, we have made up
orr mind that this law is regarded in q ia
vorAble light by the people Of Tama county
We believe they endorse it, because our
Representative, James Wilson, fully knew the
wishes OF the great majority Of the people in
,erasted, or lie never would have favored its
enactment, it comes 100 near home for HIM to
have done otherwise. We believe they en-.
dorse it, because they cannot be compelled to
mid i'll building the road except when they
ayr1t to 10 so.
We believe they endorse it, because it gives
TO each township separately the RICH. to say
whether they will or will not aid in building
il, thus relieving them of being compelled by
other townships to do what their oun does not,
in itself, choose to do.
We believe they endorse il, because no town
slips off Of the line Of any contemplated Rail-
road, will or can be compelled to aid in its
building for the benefit Of others, willie those
off at distance are benefited but little.
We believe they endorse it, because they
nre willing that majority and not the min,
GRITTY ehall rule.
The vote on the appropriation Of $4,000
showed uhere the majority stood, showed that
the people Of Tama COUNTY wanted Railroad
and were willing to help build it, the vote was
almost unanimous. The reason that the Tama
City man opposes the law is very plain. He
trcmbles in his boots, and 20 DO most of those
Of his town, because they aceU hnosc that when
the people Of Tama county voted to aid in the
Road, and fair prospect was in view to
push the Road to IN early completion, the
few Of the Tama City men served an "injunc
lion on the payment Of the $4,000 and the
donation Of the swamp lands" they thought
they had legal advantage and they took it,
they were successful as to the appropriation
Of the $4,000, but the swamp land is the
Iowa Centrals, they now feel it in their bones,
that the people Of Tama county only wait the
opportunity to carry out the original contract,
they know too, that the Company are not well
pleased with their actions, and the Read may

their town. all this presents itself TO their
