Why Did lie Marry Her, by Miss Eliza A |:
Dupuy, published by Peterson & Bro.hers,
Philadelphia, is described as "a charming love
story" andindeed it does overflow with senti-
ment. The writer has, we are told, been for
years one of the principal and NEST popular
writer's for the New York Ledger, and in thlo
new novel will be found abundance of adven.
ture, excitement, sensation and mystery; and
Miss Dupuy, who is evidently well educated,
writes with care, grace and correctness. Her
name is familiar to the readers of fiction
throughout the Union, and deservedly so; for
in addition to fluent and natural style, by
which she is at once at home with her readers,
happy faculty of delneation aud description,
and just conception of the probable and tbs
possible, seschewing humdrum improbabilities,
ever avoiding vulgarity of sentiment or ey-
preston, her writings all tend to the ineulca-
tion of vitue and morality, and "Why Did He
Marry Her." when it becomes known, will
prove to be one of the most popular aud enter
tanning novels issued for years, and Is work
that will place the talented authoress among
the best female writers of this age.

There is the Central Railroad of Iowa, for In

eishty-eight miles more graded. 9th. The
Company is composed of experienced cap
italists, who have abundant means for
carrying on the work of construction

mortgaged to the amount of only $4,000 per
mile, less than the average of westeru roads.
OH The mortgage is made to the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company-oue of ths strong
est financial institutions in New York-aud by
the terms of the mortgage, no over issue of
Bonds is possible. 10th. The Bonds have thlr'
ty years to run, and pay per cent gold inter-
est, free of Government tax, 11th. They are
sold at present for 95 and accrued interest In
currency, at which price they pay betwsenS

| Possessing all these decided advantages
these Bonds are selling rapidly. one OF the
Directors of the Company has taken $4,000.

The only importations for full year Of
which l have been able to obtain definite In
formation, are those of 1865, when they
amounted to S27,OO0,0O0. There are reasons
for believing that the amount was not so
large for 1868; but supposing 1t to be the
same, and subtracting this sum from the
amount of exports as already given, and an
increase to the general wealth of the country
will be shown of s23,O00,OOO for one year.
No wonder the Khedive, who 1t Is said, owns
three quarters oil all the lands of Egypt in fee,
could afford to expend S7,000,00o in celebra-
ting the opening OF the SueZ canal.

for its broad straight streets, two of which

lined with temples and palaces, the rains of
which may still be traced in many places.
1t subsequently became as celebrated for lis
