EDIroh REGISTER AN agent is now
canvas,ing among US for Stanley's forth
coming book, "llow | found Livingstone"
The book will meet a very prevalent feel
ing of curiosity, and will be read with in
terest and some profit. But the public
ought to know what is true Of almost all
books that are published, as this is for
subscribers only to be pcddIed about the
country by agents, is emincntly true of
this work, namely:
First, that it. is sort of literary lob.
work, aftor the style Of New York Re-
porter
Second, that it is job-work in the style
Of its print, binding, and wood-cut pic
lures, cheaply got up in all ways.
Thirdly, it is one of the small octave
sort, 700 and odd pages, and would be
probably sold at 50. 1t would be high
at $3.50. But it Is held by agents at
So. for the cheapest style, and from that
up to 81 so. More than a hundred per
cent profit is made on it and shared be.
tween publisher and agent, and the SUBJ
scribers pay their double price for half
worthy book in its style and matter, and
whole execution.

Terrible Snow Storm on the Wnonn
and st. Paul Railway.

SNOW DRIFTS EIGHT AND TEN FEET DEEP.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 21.-A special
dispatch from St. Paul says that gloomy
news may be anticipated from Minnesota.
AS the track-layers on the extension of
the Winona and St. Paul Railroad we're
approaching the Western State line, a
terrible storm last Thursday night cnvcl-
oped them and cut them off from com.
munication with civilization. The work.
ing force numbers over 500 men, and so
sangune were their expectations that fav-
ora5le weather would outlast November,
that no preparations were made to avoid
a calamity such as it is feared has befall-
en- them
There was only limited supply of
provision kept in store, for although a
hundred miles distant from the telegraph
aud construction train they maintained a
regular communication with "Sleeping
Eye" the nearest white settlement.
When intelligence of the storm reached
Winona, j. II. Stewart, General Superin.
tendent, started out with two locomotives
and train Of cars, but so heavy and
deep were the snow drifts and so intense
the cold that up to Saturday morning
they had not passed New Timer. At
that place two additional locomotives
were attached to the train, and there took
on board rations for thirty days and $50
men, besides materials with which to fit
! up boarding Accommodations in the cars.
When the train again started a passage.
way had to be forced through drifts eight
and ten feet deep, and even where the
snow did not exceed one foot in depth so
hard was it packed that recourse was had
TO shovels before any advance could be
made.
On Sunday the train had penetrated
twenty-five miles. Meantime the storm
ragged with violence unprecedented, and
when last heard from Tuesday night the
relief train was stuck fast in the accumu-
lating snow, forty miles west of Sleepy
Eye, and eighty miles short of the suffer-
ing trackmen.
Yesterday morning the telegraph wires
were down west Of St. Peter, and the lat
est reports from Winona in the afternoon
states that the snow has increased to a
furious gale. For six days the storm has
continued with undated fury. A pain.
full impression is created that the men at
the end Of the track will starve before re.
lief can reach them. No supplies are
known to be accessible. for tho line is be.
ing constructed in advance of the Gov
eminent Surveys far into a country unin.
habited save by few adventurous squat.
tiers and sickly Indians.

A very sensible bill was introduced in
to the Vermont Legislature and like ev-
cry sensible innovation it was doomed to
at least one defeat. 1t failed to pass, but
the next time it is introduced it will
probably get more votes, and about the
third time it will pass. 1t provides that
no person with wife, child or parent
shall bequeath more than one third of his
or her property to any public or charita-
BILE institution. There should be some
proviso in cases where the property ex-
ceeds a million dollars, but something

Perhaps no realmcdicine ever gained the rap
id popularity which Castoria has done. Ono per-
son relates their experience of its good effects to
another. 1t is a vegetable preparation, perfectly
harmless, pleasant to take; does not distress or
gripe but regulates the system, and is to OPP
crate when all other remedies have failed. Any
person who has used Castoria for Stomach
Ache, Constipation, Group, Flatulency, Worms,
Piles, or deranged Liver, will never again use
nauseating Oil, Bitter Pills or Narcotic Syrups.
The Castoria contains neither Minerals Morphine
nor Alcohol. by its soothing, quietng effect it
produces natural sleep, and is particularly adapt
ed to crying and tcething children. 1t costs but
80 cents, and one bottle will save many dollars
in doctors bills 3l;lw
