The Home of washington.

Book OF the Revolution
"History of the United States"
etc, has been one Of the most
dilligent and successful labor
ers in'the rich field of Ameri.
can history. During that time
he has travelled more than
thirty thousand miles, extend
ing TO almost every portion oil
the Union, in order TO procure
sketches of various scenes and
objects of historic interest; for
it is his good fortune to be
equally happy In the use OF
both pen and pencil.
Attractive and popular
though all his works have
been, Mr.. Lossing's latest vol
ume Is justly considered the
crowning success of his liie.-
Its title is as follows: "The
Home of Washington; or,
Mount Vernon and Its Associ-
alions, Historical, Geographic.
al and Pictorial" 1t is a SUBJ
scription book, being sold
through agents entirely. A
copy now lies upon our table,
from that enterprising firm, e.
Hannaford & Co., 1T West

No more beautiful book has
gladdened our eyes for many
months, than this shapely
qusrto, printed on superfne
and elegantly-tinted paper,
and gotten up in the highest
style of the topographic art. A
steel-plate portrait, from the
celebrated painting of Gilbert
Stuart, and an engraving OF
Mount Vernon, also on steel,
embellish the front Of the
book, while the text OF the
work is illustrated with no less
than one hundred and forty
eight of Lossing's charming
pictures, fac Similes of interest
ing MSS, etc. The binding
is both elegant and substan-
tial.

of its mechanical execution

why Do They Decline?

One of the remarkable fea-
lures of the present election
eering campaign is the number
of men who decline" nomina-
tions, or at least delay until the
last moment their decision to
accept or refuse. 1t is notice
able especially among the
Western Republicans Of the
out-and.out Protectionist style,
men who, like Schenck, are re-
sponsible for the worst features
Of the present tariff monstrosi-
ty. Can it be, that these men
are beginning to recognize,
that even the Republican Party,
certainly the Republicans OF
the West, will no longer sup
port them in their mischievous
and wicked trucking to Penn
sylvania monopolists Can it
tlie that they fear defeat ? Is
this the reason why they de-
cline /? ,..,.... ..,.. ,.,.... :. ...... .

Massillon, in this State, is
said by the State Geologist to
be the only place in the world,
with the exception Of some
place In Scotland, where ore
known as "Black Band" has
yet been discovered. The same
ore has been discovered in
Eastern Pennsylvania, but not
in paying quantities. He cred

One hundred and twenty.
FIVE years ago it was written
that "some countries take six
months, some twelve, to get in
motion for war;" But in three
weeks Prussia can be across
the frontiers and upon the
throats Of its enemy. Some
countries have a longer sword
than Prussia, but none can un-
sheath it so soon. Recent
events would tend to prove the
declaration then made was
still true.

The Situation in Europe.

In the way of war news we
have information that in a
sharp engagement at Chateau
Thierry, on Sunday, the 1lth,
the Prussians were repulsed
with considerable loss; that the
people of Soissons approve Of
the determination of the com,
mander not to surrender, not,
withstanding the demands Of
the Prussians; and that the
Uhlans have been destroying
railways and telegraphs eight
miles from Paris, making their
appearance at Melun and other
points.
In regard to peace negotla-
tions, the London Post says
the neutrals have abandoned
hopes of suspension OF hostlll IL
ties. M. Thiers has arrived in
London, and the Times thinks
it probable that his PROPOSE
tions will embrace the dismant,
ling of Strasburg and Metz, or
their occupation by Germans
for three years, and asserts that
England will back reasonable
terms. In Paris there is great
confidence that Russia will
throw her weight against dis
menberment.

States in it's recognition of the
Republic still calls ont the en-
thusiasm of the French people.
Marseilles was the scene OF a
ovation to the United States
Consul, and.a demonstration OF
huge proportions awaits Wash
burne at Tours.
A considerable portion Of
the dispatches is devoted tc
the revolutionary movements
in Italy. The Republican Rev
olutionary Committee have pla
carded Rome with a document
proclaiming a universal Italian
Republic. The Kings troops
are welcomed everywhere in
their progress, and the Italian
commander assures the Romans
that the independence Of the
Holy See, will not be violated.
His temporal power is all that
is intended to be effected. The
Pope, while protesting against
occupation by Italian troops,
withdraws resistance, and a
steamer has left Marseilles tC
transport the Pontifcal Zou-
aves.
