SEcoR RoBEsoE, Secretary ofthe Navy,
says that the "four million dollars appro-
priated last year in anticipation of war
with Spain, has been put to excellent
use." Probably it was "put where it
would do the most good" but who the
happy recipients are,w are not informed.
An official who had the good of the coun-
try at heart would have saved this S4,-
100000 contingent, when there was no
war with spain," instead of squandering
it among favorites.

Meeting of the Saloon Keepers

spnaoh OF the 0r.at n1ornI

Our correspondent in attendance at the
late meeting Of the Saloon Keepers Union
of Canton gives US full details Of ar inter
esting character. Want of room prevents
Us giving a more full account.
Twenty members of the Union were in
attendance, calmly celebrating, when in
rushed the gallant, indomitable veteran of
the late war, L. Schefsr, with his "mar-
tisl cloak around him" and delivered him
self at once of the following prepared
speech
"Shengemensk-Tat damt MeGreQor.-

Hartzell & Saxton, were going to start q

At last account the money was not
raised, though some of the members
thought favorably. Some, however, un-
derstand hat the Mogul of the Opera
recently edited the Herald out of exist
ence in three months or so-that sone
years ago he started and run the Ohio
&GGts Zeitung in the name of MI. Hafen-

few months, it went under.
We forbear giving the terms he applied
to the women as unworthy Of publication.
IfMr. Sch4feI's late manifestations are not
the result of constitutional condition, they
must be attributable to mental absrratlon.
The condition Is rapidly assuming a chrome

other times he thinks himself watching
his Opera House and shooting at the boys,

Appleton's C1elopedia

This valuable work, one of the create 81
of its kind, which was first completed IL
1868, has been entirely rewritten by the
ablest writers of the day, and is now being
issued from the publishing house Of the
Appletons, printed from new type and IL
lGsteated with several thousand ~engravings
and maps, making it one of the NEST com :
plete works of its kind now in existence.
Five volumes are now ready, and the re-
naming twelve will be issued at the rate
Of one in two months. The editors, the
chief of which are George Ripley and
Charles A. Dana, are men Of the ripest
culture and the most varied information
thoroughly competent. The process ofre-
revision has been carried on with patient
and systematic industry and no pains have
been spared, or outlay of money, to make
1t g perfect record of all general informa-
ton needed by the student or worker in
each and every calling in life.
No single firm in the world ever before
engaged IN q work Of such magnitude and
expense, but the demand for the work will
be such as to amply compensate this excel
lent house; and not only the American PEG
pie, but all notwithstanding nations, in
fact the world will owe a lasting debt OF
gratitude to the Appletons for this grand
contribution to the literature of the age.
We are informed that the expense Of this
work reached nearly one hundred thousand
dollars before the frat volume made its
appearance, and that the current expenses
fer literary work alone amount TO about
fifteen hundred dollars per week. Add to
the expense of printing. illustrating.
&c, and some faiUt idea can be gained of
the vastness of the undertaking.
We most heartily commend this work as
a place in every public and private
in the land.
For terms, address, Amos S. Snyder,
Ohio; Agent for Eastsr-
ern Ohio.
