Nkw STYLE OF NorE BooS.-Amons
the most useful articles introduced
among the people of this section by that
prince Of r~ustlers and energetic pros
pector after new improvements, Charley
Palmer, is the style of pocket note book,
or Merchants Book Slate" which he
is just now selling to all requiring them.
It is simply a pocket memorandum book,
with the leaves made of q stiff silicated
liner. pasteboard, which can be written
upon after the usual style with II COM
mon lead pencil, yet afterwards, by
means Of n damp sponge, wet rag, or
spit-moistened Goa sleeve, the marks
are easily eifaced and the leaves left
clean as before. Barkeepers who trust,
grocers, business men generally, and
even reporters, will find these books the
cheapest aud handiest things out.
MANNED SoLDIER.-A soldier of the
Union army who had the misfortune to
lose both arms at the battle of Lexing-
ton, Missouri, taken Off by grape shot,
was at Virginia yesterday and at Gold
Hill to-day, receiving voluntary %contri-
buttons from the cha-itably disposed.
Ho is a fine looking, well made man,
and a harder misfortune could hardly
have befallcn him, for . man without
hands or arms is a thousand times more
utterly helpless than one without legs.
We who have a full supply of hands,
and therefore full ability to help our
selves, should by all means assist the
brave soldier who risked both life aud
limb fighting for us and our country.
A man with an hand organ accompanies
him just merely to attract the attention
Of the public.
