A NEW book, to be entitled, @Life
OF Jederson Davis, With . Secret His
tory of the Southern Confederaey," BY
Edward A. Pollard, ie announced by
the National Publishing Company, of
Chicago. From the advance sheets re-
ceived We should judge that the book
will contain many interesting and spicy
items, and much that will savor Of ex-
posure Of matters "behind the scenes
10 Richmond" Mr. Pollard holds that
Mr.. Davis is principally responsible for
the failure of the Rebellion. He was
doubtless somewhat to blame, but the
downfall Of the Southern Confederacy
can with perfect safety be laid by Mr..
T. at the doors of the Union men Of
the North. This work will be sold
only BY subscription, and the publishers
want an agent in every county.

CHAPTER II,

CHAPTER II.
Charlotte found the reception room
we'll filed with old and young, aud Mr..
and Mrs. Percival active in promoting
general conversation among the guests,
who we're evidently enjoying themselves.
The spoiled heiress, accustomed to at
tentiou and 1attery, vas surprised to
find herself almost unnoticed in this
new circle; the young girls gazed at
her attire with admiration or envy, then
turned to their companions forgetful Of
her presence-to them she was Miss
Hilderth a>beautiful statue, rendered
Indifferent ty her wealth and pride.
Mr.. Percival and his wife received
her as they did the rest-with the
same courtesy shown Molly Fitzroy,
who in clean cap and bright calico
gown seemed perfectly at home.
Soon Charlotte discovered Miss
Churctill-her only visiting acquaint-
auce in the room-aud they amused
themselves watching the enjoyment Of
those around. 1t was lovely spring
night, the doors and windows were
open, and the younger guest. prone
naded through the garden, while the
elder ones occupied the parlor. Char
lotte and Miss Churchill stood some
time on the balcony, and looked through
the window at the scene within. Miss
Churchill was at length called away,
and her companion remained alone.
It was, as she supposed, bore, this
mite society! She felt heartily tired
as she looked into the lighted room,
and eaw the animated faces, and caught
suatehes Of couversation-so dull to
her! A glance at her watch only told
how many hours must elapse ere she
could with propriety retire; and Char
lotte, screened from observation, indulg-
ed 10 yawn.
She started At the sound Of Mr.. Per-
civals voice, and through the window
curtains saw him engaged in conversa.
/
ton with a gentleman she had never
before met. His back was toward the
window, but she was attracted by
the tall, well-knit form, the massive
head with its thick black hair, the gen.
tlemauly dress, and graceful digui6ed
position. A distinguished looking
man, evidently stranger in Millwood,
and Charlotte naturally wondered who
he was, and how he ohanced to attend
the mite society. =
The confused voices died, the figures
in the background faded as Charlotte
became absorbed in the conversation
near her. Mr. Reiohe'm (so Mr.. Per

CURRENT NOTES.

brigham Young, the chief prophet Of the
Mormons, recently delivered an address OF
great length to the female portion Of the con-
grcgaton assembled in the new tabernacle at
Salt Lake City, urging them to ABANDON the
foolish habits and customs OF Babylon anu TO
stop sending to New York for the latest pat
tern and fashion plates.
Dry earth has recently been introduced as
deodorizer, and the result ofthc new process is
reported to be perfectly effective. Among other
Illustrations, it is stated that at the meat pre-
serving establishment, near Melbourne, Austria
Lin. where thirty thousand sheep are frequently
slaughtered in one day, there Is not the slight
cst smell. i'm consequence Of the use Of dry
earth as q deodorizing agent.
-Panihcation is the name now applied TO
process of bread making recently discovered
and patented in France. This method dis
penses with the grinding OF the wheat, and, 1t
is asserted. will produce one hundred and fifty
nounds of bread from one hundred pounds Of
grain while by the old plan Of using flour,
only one hundred and twelve pounds OF bread
are produced from the one hundred pounds OF
wheat The new kind of bread Is said also to
be of better quality than the old, as the gluten
is not dccomposed and lost by the heat Of
grinding. The new mode of fermentation, 1t
is also asserted. contributes greatly to the
whiteness of the bread.
The principle Of cooperation is recognized
both in England and the : dlted States; but
has made no such progress in these countries
as recent statistics show in Germany In 1866
co-opcratiyc societies for procuring ordinary
articles of food numbered 199; in 1867, BIG; and
in 1865. 555 There arc now IN Germany 1858
workingmens bank and loan associations; and
the whole number of cooperative societies eX-
istinc there is estimated at about 2G0O, consist
ING of about .0OO. 900 members. In 1868 their
business transactions amounted to 220,000.0O0
thalers, and this they had managed on capi-
tal of Il. .OOO. 900 thalers belonging to them
selves. and 42,OOO,00O thalcrs Of borrowed
money.
While immortality and vice have of late
wears increased in Paris in manner astound-
ing to behold. and appear to be increasing
every day, a greater number of persons be-
longing to the higher classes have ''gone into
religion" than at any former period. Going
into religion means, among women becoming
a nun, and among men joining one of the
Irregular orders" A few weeks back Prince
De Broglie turned Jesuit; month ago
captain in the Imperial navy. the possessor of
title and a good estate, laid all down and
went to the Chartreuse; and this very fort
night nephew of Baron Hausmann, the ia
nous Prefect Of Paris, resigned government
appointment and entered religious house.

title may be fairly given TO restorative whlch
has taken precedence OF all other tonic and al
teratye preparations for period OF nearly twen-
ty years. During that long interval HOSTEL
TER'S STOMACH BITTERS may be truly said to
have enjoyed unrivalled popularity. Many prep
arations have been got up to compete Win II,
but they have all fallen into its wake or sunk
into oblivion for lack of patronage. From the
first, this now world-renownod Vegetable Tonic
has been both medically and financially success
full. Every year has added to the number OF It's
friends, and the demand for it, based solely upon
the experimental proofs of its excellence as pre-
yentive and curative seems TO have no assign
able limit The medical profession sanction anu
approve its use, and it is now at the head OF the
class of medicines to which it belongs, the adj
mitted, undisputcd sovereign tonic of the age.
The statistics of the United States Revenue De-
partment will verify the statement that it stands
alone and unapproached in the magnitude OF Its
sales as compared with those of any other pro-
prietary remedy advertised on this side Of the At
anic.
The explanation OF this fact may be comprised
in few words. HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT

most potent of all vegetable tonics, and the best
antidote to every variety OF malarous disease.
Hence it is especially adapted to the present sea-

THE COLUMBIA CANAL.

The Columbia Phoenix publishes the follow
ing article in regard 10 Senator Sprague's fall
ure to come up to time in the matter Of the
Columbia Canal:
Aswe are not in the confidence OF the ''powers
that be.- we are unable to state the case accu'
rately in regard to Mr.. Spragye and the Column,
or his agents have failed to begin work on the I'M
OF the canal wafer power, as agreed.
By the 1s October 1862 1t was said that MS agents
would "break dirt, but this has not been dohe.
The silence on the canal Is unbroken by the
Irish voices that We were to hear and by the
shoyels. picks and spades that Irish hands
were to wied Why Mr.. Sprague has thus
failed to "come to time,n no explanation, thus
far, has been vouchsaled by the commssionSps' .uS
who now are Governor Scotland Charles Wilder,
the colored postmaster-R. n. Lewis, the other
member OF the board, having died. An exPianT6as VI ma
ton Is que G &C sSs Not only because this
a matter in which all the citizens are interested
hut for the still stronger reason tnat II MI.
Sprarue does not intend TO do the work contract
ed for there doubtless are other capitalists IN the
North who have the means and the inclination SO
To do When the contract was awarded, ny
Messrs. Scott, Lewis and Wilder, to Mr.. Sprague's
agent, 1t was understood that Colonies GlDDes,
C6ilds and Palmer, on the part of some party
o"''Irn or nartes in Philadelphia, made an equal
ly and perhaps more advantageous oner
than the one that the commissioners ac-
ccpted. If, now, this he correct, ana we
believe it to be correct, it is obligatory upon the
commissioners to act promptly. II Mr.. sprague's
agent has failed to come up to the terms OF the
contract, let other Northern or Southern or East
ern or Western capitalists have showing. Ine
people OF Columbia, OF course, care not straw
who does the work. They want II done promptly
and well: but it matters not TO them who under
takes 1t, provided he has tho means, the energy
the sense and the will. Let the commissioners
inform the public what the state Of the case is
IL is due To- the public that the information be
given. II Mr. Sprague's agent has been unayoid
aby or eXcusably delayed, and intends yet tc
prosecute his work, We shall have no criticism 70
make. II he has abandoned the work, we say
that the field should he opened TO the country.
