II. r.. MATTERS.--rh engineers of
the a. *. IL ID. Il. r., are now en-
gagged in surveying route from n
point near Aaron Moorc's, on English
Creek to Pella, with q view Of chang
ing the line of that road so rs to con
meet with the ID. V. II, r., Mt this
New Sharon. Mr.. Grinnell was here
last Thursday, aud in company with
Mr.. Curtis went over the line from
here to the point where grading
ceases on the A. *. Il d., and Mr.
Grinnell expresses himself as well
pleased with the prospect of getting
an easy grade from that pointto pella.
The new route will cross the Des
Moines riveInear Durham's ferry, and
come up the ravine heading near Mr..
Ramsay's warehouse. We shall know
In a very few days, probably by the
time our next paper comes out, what
prospect of success we have of getting
the road.
One thing Is certain, the matter will
be decided in very short time. Mr.
Grinnells idea Is to connect here with
the ID. V. II. r., and ut New sharon
with the Iowa Central, and also with
the Muscatine Western, merging the
A. X. & y. into the Muscatinc West
ern from New Sharon west. If this
arrangement Is completed, it will give
us II. II. communication with Knox
Vile, thing the people of both places
have been wishing for long time.
For our part we would be glad to see
the matter assume this shape. 1t will
tend greatly to make our Muscatine
| Western u success, which we all so
much desire. or one thing our readers
may rest assured, that things are work
ing; and we expect togive them some
thing definite in n very short time
Pella Blade Of yesterday.
We would merely observe that read
ers are likely to get an erroneous
impression from the remark about
changing the line" Of our Road, in
the first paragraph of the above. The
Construction Company have never, to
our knowledge, been released from
the original Contract, rs published in
this paper. Railroad operations often
pan out differently from what people
generally expect at the time. Let us
wait and see. But we would be very
glad to have Railroad communication
| with Pella, however

HISTORY oFTHE WARM EUROPE.

HISTORY oFTHE WAR II EUROPE.
The National Publishing Co. OF
Chicago. H., has just issued a very
valuable history Of the late War be-
tween Germany and France, from
the pen of one of our most popular
writers, Mr.. JAMES ID. McCABE, JR.
In large volume Of 500 octave
pages, the author tells wonderful
storv-all the stranger because Of its
truth. He tells of battles which
have shaken Europe to its centre,
and the consequences of which even
we of the Western World must feel;
Of patriotism, heroiSm, military skill
and craftsmanship, never surpassed
in history. The author writes with
the weight and force Of truth, and
the great merits of his book are its
reliability and strict impartiality.
The book is complete in every par
ticular. 1t describes the cause OF the
war, and the events which preceded
it; the opening campaign, and the
first reverses Of the French; the effect
Of these reverseS upon the French
people; the frantic effort 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 and formation Of the Republic;
the fight Of the Empress from Paris;
the siege and surrender Of Strasbourg
and the frontier fortresses OF France;
the triumphal advance Of the German
armies to Paris; the efforts Of Bazaine
TO escape from Metz, and the final
surrender of his army; the invest
ment and siege Of Paris; the detailed
history Of this great siege; its plans,
sorties, battles, successes and failures;
the course of events in the beleagured
city, given in the form Of a full diary
Of the events Of the siege; the cam
paigns On the Loire, and in other
portions Of France; the peace nego-
| tiations, the surrender Of Paris, aud
| the treaty: the naval history Of the
war; the diplomatic history on both
the German and French sides; the
history OF the formation of the great
German Empire; the proclaiming OF
King William Emperor, and the
realization of German unity; the
events Of the civil war and second
siege Of Paris, its terrible scenes of
bloodshed and vandalism, with a
minuteness, graphicness and bril-
fancy. which leaves nothing to be
desired. No intelligent person can
afford to be uniformed as to these
events which have left so deep an
| impression on the worlds history,
and few will fail to read this splen-
did work; or,having read it, to en-
dorse it as the Standard American
History Of the War.
In thisage Of sensational literature,
we cannot too highly commend this
brilliant and thoughtful narrative to
our readers. The book is handsome
ly bound, and illustrated with 80
maps, portraits, battle scenes, and
views Of the principal localities con
nected with one war. No expense
has been spared by the publishers to
make it worthy of the support of the
public, and we predict for it an i'm
mense sale. especially as its low price
brings it within the reach Of all. IT
is published in both English and Ger
man, sold by subscription only, and
the publishers want agents in every
county.
