"A great calm has prevailed il
railroad circles for the last week.
The thirsty earth that pleaded long for rain
On many an arid hill and fervid plain,
Shouted for joy, at Sunday ewes calm hour,
AS from the northwest loomed threatening
shower.
Slow moved the cloud, and nearer came the
flash
OF vivid chains, with quick and startling crash
All else is still, and scarce leaf is stirred,
Save when some picket-drops of rain are heard
Then every leaf, thus favored, gave its nod,
AS if to show its thankfulness to God.
With out-spread arms the trees in silence stand
And wait the welcome boon 30 near at hand.
Now pours the rain; the hills and plains rejoice
And man delights to add his grateful voice.

History of the war in Europe.

The recent War between Germany
and France aroused so much interest
on the part of our people, that it was
generally 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 Philadelphia, have
just issued very complete and valua-
bic history, bearing the above title
1t is from the pen of Mr., James ID.
McCabe, Jr., and is u handsomely
bound volume of 800 octave pages,
illustrated with $50 maps, portraits,
battle scenes, views of prominent To-
calities, etc. 1t is written in a bold,
vigorous style, and will, upquestion-
ably, take rank as the standard history
of the struggle by an American writer.
Mr.. McCabe, has evidently studied
his subject deeply, for he writes as an
historian, and not as a politician, as
one who places facts on record for the
verdict Of future ages, and not as one
who seeks to win the favor Of either the
Germans or the French of to-day
The great charm Of the work is its i'm
parliality, its absolute fidelity to truth.
His book fascinates while it instructs.
for it tells in graphic and eloquent
language, the most wonderful story of
modern times. He traces the causes
of the war from their origin down to
the beginning of hostilities ; sets forth
the diplomatic history of the prelude to
the war, with clearness and states
foVcibly, and in detail the causes of the
triumphs of Germany and the failure Of
France. The narrative of the great
battles which opened the campaign,
and hurled the French back upon the
interior of their own country the
effect of these reverses upon the French
Nation the frantic efforts to rescue
the beaten army, and the terrible dis
aster at Sedan the capture of the En-
pcror Napoleon and an entire army;
the Revolution in Paris the rise and
formation of the Republic; the flight
of the Empress from Paris me 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
campaigns on the Loire and in other
parts of France the peace negotia-
tious; the surrender of Paris and the
treaty; the naval history of the forma-
tiou Of the great German Empire the
proclaimiug 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
graphicncss and brilliancy which render
this work of unusual value. The
author goes deep into the philosophy of
the war, and imprcsses his readers
profoundly with the great lessons of the
conflict.
The low price at which the book is
issued, brings il within the reach Of all,
and no one wishing to keep abreast of
the times should fail to read it. 1t is
published in both English and Ger
man, sold by subscription only, and
agents are wanted in every county.

Ludlow has had still another fire by
which a part of Barrett q Whelden's
Block, the best in town was destroyed.
The alarm was given at about mid
night on the 9TH. The third story and
roof of Wheldens part was entirely
consumed, and the second story was
but little better, while the whole
building was thoroughly drenched
with water. The fire did not iniure
Barrett's part so much. The block
was occupied by A. s. Hayward,
Photographer, DIR. E. E. Blodd, Den
tist, Mrs. M. p, Howard and family,
Whelden & Sons, Timers, Barrett &

Jeweller. The families of Mr.. Hay
ward and Mr.. Barrett lived in the
block. Mr.. Hathorn had rooms there,
and the Masonic Hall was in the
upper story. Loss $4,000 to $1,000,
nearly covered by insurance. 1t is
thought to be the work of an in
cendiary. Go for him.

The Prog. Age calls our attention to a
letter in its columns, which purports to
be ku klux communication to man
employed at the Norfolk Navy Yard
threatening him with assassination. We
don't think he need to leave on that ac-
count. The writers of threatening anony-
nous letters are generally beneath con
tempt, and their bark is more to be dread
ed than their bite. A resolute man can
face a regiment Of such towards with i'm
punity. We are not unacquainted with
that style of communication, having re-
ceived scores Of them in the course of our
connection with newspapers. They are
invariably treated in one way, viz torn
in two. thrown into the waste basket, and
all thought Of them dismissed. At one
time the Prog. Age was in the habit of
printing that style of epistle in its col
umns, in which we were threatened with
murder after the most approved style of
Ku Klux fiction. Knowing that all con-
cerned in it were cowardly knaves, we
took no more notice of them than we
would of barking ours. Let the Belfast
mechanic at Norfolk treat his anonymous
letter writer's as we do the same class of
rascals here, and he can stay there as
long as he pleases, suck his knavy yard
teat, vote for Grant, and worship the
Great American Present Taker to his
hearts content.
