History of the War in Europe.

The recent war between Germany
and France aroused so much interest
on the part of people, that it was gen.
orally supposed at the time, that the
earliest and best history of that great
struggle, would be from the pen of
an American author. The National
Publishing Co., of Chicago, Ill, has
just issued very complete and val
liable history, bearing the above title.
1t is from the pen of Mr.. James ID.
McCabe, Jr, and is a handsomely
bound volume of 500 octave pages,
illustrated with $50 maps, portraits,
battle scenes, views of prominent
localities, etc 1t is written in bold,
vigorous style, and will, unquestion-
ably, take rank as the standard his
tory of the struggle by an American
writer
Mr.. McCabe, has evidently studied
his subject deeply, for he writes as an
historian, and not as politician, as
ono who places facts on record for the
verdict to win the favor of either the
Germans or the French of to-day.
The great charm of the work is its
impartiallty, its absolute fidelity to
truth. His book facinates while it
instructs, for it tells in graphic and
eloquent language, the most wonder
tul story Of modern times. He traces
the causes Of the war from their ORR
gin down to the beginning of hostl-
tiles sets forth the diplomatic his
tory of the prelude to the war, with
clearness; and states forcibly, and in
detail the causes of the triumph of
Germany and the failure of France
The narrative of the great battles
which opened the campaign, and
hurled tie French back upon the
interior Of their own country the
effect of the reverses upon the French
Nation the frantic efforts to rescue
the beaten army, and the terrible
disaster of Sedan the capture Of the
Emperor Napoleon and an entire
army the Revolution in Paris the
rise aud formation of the Republic
the flight Of the Empress from Paris;
the Siege and surrender of Strasburg
and the frontier fortresses of France;
the triumphal advance of the German
armies to Paris the Sieges of Metz
and Paris in detail a full diary of
events in Paris during the Siege the
companions Of the Loire and in other
parts Of France; the peace. negota-
tons the surrender of Paris and the
treaty the naval history of the war;
the history Of the formation of the
great German Empire the proclaim
ing Of King William emperor, and
the realization of German unity the
civil war and second siege Of Paris,
with its terrible scenes of bloodshed
and vandalism all these and other
events of the war are related with
graphicness and brilliancy which
render this work of unusual value.
The author goes deep into the philos-
ophy Of the war, and impresses his
readers profoundly with the great
lessons Of the conflict.
The low price at which the book is
issued, brings it within the reach of
all, and no one wishing TO keep
abreast of the times should fail 10
read it. 1t is published in both En-
glish and German. Sold by subscrip-
ton only, and agents are wanted in
every county.

BURLINGTON.

Leaving the East and arriving at Chicago
or indianapolis, how shall we reach the West
The best lire is acknowledged to be the c. B
& e., joined together with the b. & M Rail :
way by the Iron Bridge at Burlington, and
called the BURLINGTON RoUrE.
The main line of the Route running TO Oma.
ha, connects with the great Pacific Roads, and
forms to-day the leading route to California.
The Middle Branch, entering Nebraska at
Plattsmouth, passes through Lincoln, the State
Capital, and will this year be finished to Fort
kearney. forming the shortest distance across
the Continent by over 100 miles.
Another branch of the B. & NJ, diyerging a
Red Oak, falls into a line running down the
Missouri through st. oe to Kansas City, and
all Kansas. Passengers by this route to Kan
sas, see Illinois, Southern Iowa, and Missoui,
and, and by slight divergence, can see Me-
braska also.
Lovers Of fine views should remember the
Burlington Route, for its towns singh gleam-
ing from afar. Its tree-iringed st-eams-its
rough bluffs and quarries-its corn oceans
stretching over prairies farther than the eye
can reach.
Land buyers will be sure to remember it.,
for they have friends among the two thousand
who have already bought farms from Geo. S.
Harris, the Land Commissioner of the b. &

Teachers Institutes.

The Teachers Institute now in
session here is so conducted as to be-
very interesting and instructive to
those in attendance. Sup't Holford
says that for the good of the school.
far too few are in attendance. and
that those who attend these institute.
will receive such instruction as will
ala them very much in the examina.
tions that are to follow, and that il
IS the duty of every one offering
himself or herself as a teacher to
qualify to the fullest extent of the
opportunities afforded in his state
and county. Those who will not do
so have no right to complain OF
"small wages" nor "fault-fnding pat
rons," and those who will make no
effort to attend the Institutes and
Normal Schools, cannot ask leniency
in tho examinations. We think that
this is good doctrine. Grand oppor-
tunities for teachers to fiji themselves
for the work are now offered by
both State and county, and those
who will make no attempt to i'm
prove them, have really no right to
set themselves up as teachers. If
you want good pay" for your work,
qualify yourselves so as to be enabled
to earn it. Holford's policy is two
edged sword and cuts both ways.
He wants the teachers to be well
qualified for the work and wants
them to do it well and he wants the
patrons Of the schools to pay the full
worth Of value received. In short,
he wants to see great improvement
in our schools, and is doing all be
can to make such Improvement We
hope the teachers will take hold and
do their part as well. This institute
through this week. The
Muscoda Institute commences August
18th and continues four weeks
