John Sherman will attempt,
during this campaign, to hide
himself behind the one.legged
candidate for Governor.
He will beat the gong and
sound the fuzzy'guzzy about
the heroic achievements of
Noyes-how he drove "rebels'
and smote "copperheads" in
days gone by. Sherman, Of
course, will do this to prevent
public attention from being
drawn to his political acts dur,
ing IL years past. He knows
the people are getting tired of
Sherman as a regular meal, and
if he can only keep in the back,
ground and secure the election
Of a Republican Legislature,
he has the vanity to think
that he can slip into the Senate
for six years more. But Sher-
man will not be allowed to
dodge. With sn impudence
amounting TO sublimity he en-
dorses the resolution passed by
the State Convention denounc-
ing land-grabbing when it is a
we'll known fact that he voted
for nearly every Gland grab"
scheme of the nsonopolists.-
He will be held TO- a strict ac-
countability for all his votes,
and he cannot by false state
ments and !concealment Of facts
keep from the people the truth
that the land which should be-
long to them and their posteri.
ty is being lavished upon cor
porations who, seemingly, for
years have controlled our ma
tional legislation.

G. G. Bowen, the Bigamist,
and Radical Leader Par
Innnh

G. G. Bowen, the Bigamist,
and Radical Leader Par
dOned,
President Grant has at last
pardoned the noted bigamist,
G. G. Bowen, a late Radical
member of Congress, who was
recently tried and sentenced to
the penitentiory for three years
for taking unto himself two or
three wives. Ever since the
sentence was passed on the
bigamist the Radical free.lov-
ers about Washington City,
including the last wife of the
Congressional bigamist, have
been urging Grant to pardon
him. Getting weary and tired
of them, Grant left Washing
ton and went to Long Branch
to attend the horse races,
thinking, no doubt, that he
would get rid of them. But
they followed him up, and
compelled him to pardon the
disgraceful criminal.
A dispatch to the Cincinnati
Enquirer thus speaks of the
matter
"After much vexatious delay,
the, bigamist Bowen's pardon
has at last reached Washington,
and the much,married ex.Con-
gresham walked out of Jail this
forenoon a free man again. He
was received with open arms
by Mrs. Pettigrew King Bow
en-, who, although the jury de-
clared her to be not his wife,
says she will nevertheless live
with him as his wife. The
Presidents pardon does not
effect that question at all. The
pardon is dated July L, and it
is a little remarkable that it
was not received here ere this.
The document contains a nun
Der Of misstatements of facts.
For instance, it states that on
his last marriage Bowen acted
in good faith, believing his for
mer wife to he dead. There
was not a particle of evidence
Of this before the Jury that
tried the case. Bowen never
pretended that he thought his
first wife was dead, but all the
evidence was directed to show
that he had obtained a divorce
in New York-an 'efforttEthat
was utterly abortive, for it was
proven that the Court.'records
of New York had been tam.
pered with and mutilated. An
other reason assigned for the
pardon is that Bowen rendered
good service to the cause of
the Union during the rebellion,
and that he has Of late years
endeavored to lead an honest
anu uprlSnC lire. Ills service
to the cause of the Union was
probably rendered in killing a
Confederate officer when he
was in that service, and people
who have known him here for
the past three or four years are
notso confident that he has led
an upright life. However, he
is now out of Jail, and is liable
to arrest at any moment for
mutilating the New York Court
records. Meantime he can pre-.
pare his case to contest the seat
of DeLarge, the colored Con-
gresham from South Carolina"

The National Publishing
Go. of Cincinnati, has just is
sued a very valuable history of
the War between Germany and
France, from the pen of one of
our most Popular writer's, Mr..
James D. McCabe, Jr..
In a large volume of 800 oc-
tavo pages, the author tells a
wonderful story--all the stran-
ger because of its truth. He
tells of battles which have sha-
ken Europe to its centre, and
the consequences Of which,
even we of the Western World
must feel !; of patriotism, her.
|oism, military skill and states,
manship, never surpassed in
history. The author writes
with the weight and force of
truth, and the great merits of
his book are it's reliability and
strict impartiality.
The book is complete in ev-
cry particular. 1t describes
the causes of the war, and the
events which preceded it; the
opening campaign, and the
first reverses of the French !;
the effect of these reverses up
on the French people; the fran
tic effort to rescue the beaten
army, and the terrible disaster
of Sedan; the capture of the
Emperor Napoleon, and an en-
tire army; the Revolution in
Paris ; the rise and formation
of the Republic; the fight of
the Empress from Paris; the
siege and surrender of Stras-
bourg and the frontier fortress
es 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

the detailed history of this
great siege; its plans, sorties,

of France the peace negotia-
tons, the surrender of Paris,
and the treaty; the naval his
tory of the war; the diplomat
ic history on both the German
and French sides; the history
of the formation of the great

ness, graphicness and brilliancy,
which leaves nothing to be de,
sired. 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 splendid work;
or, having read it, to endorse
it as the Standard American
History of the War.
In this age of sensational lit.
erature, we cannot too highly
commend this brilliant and
thoughtful narrative to our
readers. The book is hand.
somely bound, and illustrated
with $50 maps, portraits, bat
tie scenes, and views of the
principal localities connected
with the war. No expense
has been spared by the pub.

predict for it an immense sale,
especially as its low price
brings it within the reach of
all. 1t is published in both
English and German, sold by |

fishers want agents in every

A. Charming Book.

Foremost among those old
stories which have served to
excite the mirth of successive
generations of school children
stands the time-honored tale of
the Scotchman who was found
by a friend pouring over the
pages of the dictionary, and on
being asked how he liked it,
replied, "Oh, weel the stories
are Draw, but they are unco
short"
But the dictionary of to-day
is as unlike that of twenty
years ago as the butterfly is
unlike the worm. 1t has burst
from its former dull respectable
ity into the glory of a picture
gallery. In learning, in extent,
in everything it has made a
vast advance; but with its
illustrations it enters a new
sphere of attractiveness.
