Conclusion,

The facts presented show that we still have
abundant lands at our disposal, and, whether
we look at the interest Of the jewellers there
on, or that of the government, that they are
not likely to be disposed Of more usefuly or
upon sounder principles of national econo.
my May it not also be claimed that the
wisdom Of founding these institutions no
longer needs vindication Though hardly
out of their swaddling clothes they speak for
themselves, and furnish cloud of unimpeach-
able witnesses testifyiug to the value of the
work being done, as well as Of the greater
work yet to be done. If the whole system will
tend to increase the productions or the profits
Of agriculture, or to enlarge the skill and
power Of American mechanics, or to improve
minds now lying iallow, or TO raise our whole
people to higher plane Of moral and scien-
tifc value, increasing both emplOyments and
remuneration-and all this | have no doubt
will be realized-then the measure should
excite the warmest solicitude and have our
broadcast and heartiest support. The curl
Gus maps published with our last census re-
port show oonclusively that wealth is uni
lormly distributed in an inverse ratio to Tilt
eracy
1t is a national work, embracing our who'll
country, costing hardly more than has beer
proposed for ten years subsidy to lines o

Lights and Shadows Of Now York Life; or
the Sights and Sens atoms Of tho Great
City," A work descr iptivc Of New York
City In all ito various phases. 1ts 6plen-
doris and Wretehedness; it, High and Low
Life; Ito Marble Palaces and Dark Dens !;
it, Attractions and Dangers Its Rings and
Frauds Its Leading Men and Politicians !;
Its AdventuEers; Its Mysteries and Crimes.
By James D. McCabe, Jr.
What Paris is to the Frenchman, or
London to the Briton, New York is
to the American. It is not only the
Metropolis, but it is the chief attrac-
ton upon this continent, the great Gen.
tire to which men and women resort for
both business and pleasure, and as such
is source Of never-failing interest. Of
late years several Attempts have been
made to reproduce its varied attractions
in book form. The most successful re-
suit Of these efforts is the book now
before US. The author has unusu-
al facilities to see every feature Of the
great city, and has written the work
with an enthusiasm which is apparent
in every page. He has not merely pre-
duced sensational story, but has given
us record Of actual facts, of which he
is personally cognizant.
The book is as fascinating and ab-
sorbing as novel, aud were it not for
the evidence he furnishes, We should be
tempted to believe that he had carried
US into the realm Of fiction. He tells
US the history Of the great city which
has grown to be the most remarkable
in America, and relates its old traditions
with zest and humor. He introduces
us to all classes Of people, and initiates
US into their ways and manner Of life.
He brings US face to face with great
merchants and bankers, actors, editors,
working women, ballet girls, thieves,
gamblers, sailors. quacks, 6remen, and
hosts Of others. He delights US with
his sketches of the better and brighter
side Of city life, of the genius, enter
prise, charity aud humanity of the great
city, and appals US with his thrilling
accounts Of the darker and more terri
bic side Of the life he is delineat.ng.
A truthful picture Of New York
life cannot be otherwise than deeply
interesting. Our author has succeeded
admirably in his task, and We predict
for his book large sale. 1t is 5rim-
full Of useful information, brilliant and
fascinating, and an emphatic warning
against the vices IF the city. It is
pure and lofty in tone, and while it dis
cus>es fully many Of the darker sides
Of city life, it does so with delicacy and
candor. An interesting feature Of the
book is a powerfully written history Of
the Tammany Ring frauds with sketch
es of the actors therein.
1t is comprised in one large octave
volume Of $50 pages, illustrated with
nearly 200 fine engravings Of noted pla-
ces, life and scenes in New York, and
published by the National Publishing
Co.,, Of Chicago.
The low price at which the work is
issued, brings it within the reach of all,
and no one who wants to know New
York as it really is, should fail to buy
this book. 1t is published in English
and German, sold by subscription only,
and agents are wanted in every county.
