A LIBERAL OFRER FROM THE AP- |
PLETONs. FREE FOUNDATIONS FOR L.
BRARIEs EvERYwHERE.-The establish
ment of libraries by charitable endow-
ments, or the cooperation of intelli-
gent public spirited citizens, is sub
ject that should receive general at
tention. As a purifier of morals, a
means of popular education, a relief
of crowded prisons and a!mshouses, a
direct promoter of the peace, happi-
ness and wealth of communities, the
public library ranks with the church
and the school. 1t appears, from signs
cropping out here and there, especi-
ally in the west, as if the times were
propitious for the furtherance of this
great work. Such, at least, is the
conviction entertained by D. Apple
ton & Co., who have received, recent
ly, many inquiries rom different
states, asking to be informed as to
the best method of founding libraries,
and selecting books. In response to
the widespread feeling thus shown to
exist upon the subject, and to give it
a powerful impulse, they have deter
mined to offer a direct and substantial
encouragement for the formation of
public libraries in all parts of the
United States. The plan which they
propose is, in scope, liberality, and
precise adaptation to the benifcent
end sought to be accomplished, I'M
paraIelled in the history Of public en-
terprise. 1t is as follows:
The Appletons offer to give free,
what may be called the foundation
for libraries everywhere. They will
present to each club of persons de-
Sirous of forming public library a
complete set, in Is volumes, of their
standard North American Cyclopa-
dia. This great national work, the
only publication Of the kind, is one
which organizers of libraries usually
buy first of all books, because it is
the one most often consulted by per-
sons of all classes and vocations, III
search of reliable information of all
kinds of topics. Sixteen large octave
volumes, containing many thousand
pages Of the most valuable reading
matter, for the purchase of which
they would ordinarily spend thei
money, they therefore receive for moth
ing. In one sense, the Cyclopadia i
in itself library so that from the
start, the clubs will have a better part
of what they wanted for nothing
The only return asked by the donors
for this munifcent gift is, that the
clubs shall proceed to raise and eX-
pend not less than five hundred dol
lars to buy other books. In other
words, that the club shall build the
Superstructure on the foundation laid
by the Appletous. In the selection
of suitable books by hands experience
ed for many years in the making of
libraries, the AppletOns will render
all the assistance required, and sup
ply the books, with the usual discount.
The Cyclpadia thus becomes literally
a gift.
This extraordinary plan, so far as
it has been submitted to the judgment
of individuals, meets with unanimous
approval. When it comes to be gen,
orally known, it cannot fail to elicit
prompt recognition and thankful ac-
ceptance from the inhabitants Of hun
dred8 of cities, towns and villages in
the United States. For full particu-
lars of plan, address D. Appleton &
Co.. New York.

rI,HE MEDICINE FOR
WHOOPNG COUGH.

/ DODD'S NERVINE AND INVIGORATOR
gives agreeable and almost instant relief in the
spasms of Whooping Cough. This is 4 complaint
that all children are expected 10 have; and
when it comes. strange to say, they are left to
fight it through as they best can, little or 10th
ing being done to break its intensity or help it
along. And when it is reflected that very many
of the diseases of older and adult years have
their origin in the tear and STRAIN of Whooping
Cough, this neglect would be utterly unaccOunt-
able but for the fact that children's diseases,
like many of the weaknesses of women, are con-
sidered so much matter of course that people
have become stoically unconcerned about them.
Let them cough it through, as we did, seems
generally to be the unfeeling word. Whooping
Cough is a nervous disease, and Dodds Nervine
and Invigorator treats it with COMPLETE Sue
CESS. Mothers Try 1t, and save your little ones
the worst agony of this distressing affection. A
sure and benefcent medicine.

Important Certificate.
Speedy Cure of Whooping Cough.

J. w. PICKETT, Esq, Brooklyn, n. Y.
am not in the habit of taking advertised med
icneS nor of certifying to their curative effects
when they come under my observation; but
feel constrained to make an exception in favor
of Dood's Nervine and InvgOTator, medicine
have used in my family for some time past. My
little daughter had been suffering from severe
whooping cough for several weeks, and was SO
much broken of rest at night that-by excessive
coughing and loss of sleep-her constitution and
general health seemed to be giving away. Vari-
Gus remedies or palliatives were recommended
by intimate neighbOrs, but nothing was tried I'M
til our attention was called by physician not
now in practice to Dodd's Nervine. This we pro-
cured and commenced using at once -wirh an
effect immediate and surprising. As the cOnvul-
siUns were hardest at night, we began by giving
the Nervine on going to bed The first dose admin
istered made its impression; the cough became
less frequent, and very much less seyere-she
soon got her accustomed sleep-rapldly revived
in health and vIgoT-dnd III few days was as
well "a ever. What was left OF the whoopng
cough was thereafter of n trovble. OF course |
cannot but consider DOdd's Nervine and Invis-
orator an invaluable remedy for this distressing
maady. l may add, that have since recon-
mended it TO several family friends, in like cir
cumstamces, and have found 1t in every case 10
he equally successful. 1t needs only to be known
to come into universal demand.

Gone East.

William NJ. Stewart, we are told, went East
last Wednesday night. His vacation, that
should have been spent with his constituents,
learning OF their necessities and wants, was
spent in California. We believe however
that the people of Nevada are quite as we'll
satisfied rs If he had given them more of his
company. Such as know nothing of his status
in Nevada except that there was but one Re
publican vote polled against him, at the last
Senatorial, may be surprised TO learn that he
has fewer friends than any man that the State
ever honored with position. Stewart, know
ing the influence that elected him, seems to
feel that he is under no obligations to his NOM
lnal constituents and has very wisely spent
no time making believe love, where only ha-
tired existed on the one side and contempt on
the other. We have no idea what Stewards
programme for the Winter may be, but We
venture to predict that however plausible it
may appear on its face, he will in reality be
but the feed attorney of some public plumber
some soulless corporation-with always ut
least one fool among his clients.
The foregoing from the Reno Crescent, an
ardent Radical journal, is not a very affection
ate testimonial Of esteem for the Senator from
Nevada. 1t comes from a paper which pro-
fesses to know whereof it speaks Had
newspaper of different politics expressed a
similar opinion, it would have been generally
attributed to political malice; but We presume
the Crescent may be taken as fair, honest
mouth-piece of the organization with which it
sympathizes. If this be true, Senator Stew
Art does not stand very highly with his con-
stituents, and no better with those of his own
party than that Of his avowed opponents.
1t certainly would look much better for Sen
ntor Stewart to be more at home in Nevada
md less at home in California The people
OF the latter State have two Senators of their
own, who are supposed to be capable of at
tending to the business of that community.
They can get along without Senator Stewards
assistance. There are those, however, who
begin TO think that certain corporations for
speculative purposes are less independent
BE this rs it may, if the Senator will consult
his personal reputation among the people of
Nevada, he will hereafter devote his superfiu-
GUS energies in looking after the interests of
this State little more. and permit the Sena-
tors of California to attend to the affairs of
that State.
