The Rev. NJ. Z. Cross is introducing
in our section several books Of high
order Of merit; among others he has
Smiths Comprehensive Bible Diction-
ary, published by D. appleton & Co.,
N.Y.,a book pronounced by all scholars
the best of its class that has been issu
ed, ana q great help tor children, Sab
bath School teachers, and as family
reference book in tho study Of the Bible
Also Bingley's Natural History. This
is book Of 1910 pages, with 1910 en-
cravings, giving descriptions and anec-
dOteS of the beasts, birds and all the
tribes Of living beings throughout the
world. 1t enlarges the mind with no.
BILE conception of the wisdom and good
ness of God, entertains and interests
the young, and is noble family book.
Also Benson j. Lossings' Practical
History of the United States, from the
first landing of Columbus to the present
day. This is an accurate History of all
the past wars of our country with
sketches Of all the leading men who
have figured in its History, and is illus
trated with 400 engravmgs.
Another book just out is "Arouud the
Tea Table," by Rev. Y. De Witt Tai
mage. Every line sparkles, and every
chapter overtlows with strong common
sense and wit which carries with iG ir-
resistible conviction. Many stirring in
cdents that have occurred in the auth.
or's experience are woven into his dis
cussions with q masters hand.
Mr.. Woods mastery exhibit Of the
Customs, Social and Moral Condition of
the hundreds of millions of the uncivil-
lied races of men in all countries, is u
noble book, in the perusal of which the
school boy will divide his school hours.
1t contains the cream of all travellers
and intelligent explorers, with the great
part that is valuable in Lipipgstone's
Travels through Africa.
lie has also the best family Bibles,
containing all the best helps for the
study OF ihe Bible, and on reasonable
terms.
We cannot commend too earnestly, to
the people of this section, the books Of
fered by Mr.. Cross, as they are of real
merit and put at Il moderate price to
suit the times. Every valuable book
that the parent puts in the hands of his
children will help to give him ideas and
brain power, and helps him in the bat
tie Ofllfe, and do more for his future sue
cess in life than thousands Of dollars
laid up for him.

THE PROSPERITY OUIO.

An Ohio correspondent Of the New York Times
writes as follows concerning the prospect in Ohio
"The real republican majority in the State is
not so large as at the close of the war. An un-
known number, certainly very many thousands
of young men, chiefly republicans, have gone
further West and their numbers have been made
good by the immigration of foreigners, including
many Irish railroad laborers by this exchange
the republican party has lost and the democratic
gained. The admi nistration Of the Federal Gov.
ernmept i net in issue. The republicans have no
differences Where there have been personal fac.
tions in the past there is the most fraerna coop
eratios. The school question and the finances are
the only issues which the people talk about dis
cuss. Speeches upon any other subjects are not
listened to, and nobody pays much teed to outside
elections depending on other issues. The most
csrefui inquiry does not disclose serious detection
of iafationsts from the republican ranks. In halt
the counties of the State, the loss so far as can
wasting can discover it, will be almost nothing. and
the loss Of no republican county on this Issue
probable. On account of the introduction OF the
Catholic question into the canvass, few positive
republican gains are known. The democrats have
nothing to gain by the question, and its effects vii
have no counterbalance. The 10000 liberal voters
in the State are somewhat divided, but the greater
portion is conceded to the republicans. The Ger
mans will not be unbrokenly for Hayes, but near
ly all of them will vote against Sam. Cary, what
ever else they may do In Cleveland a few will
vote the county democratic ticket, but vote for
Ilayes. There will still be some uncertainty about
: small fraction of the Germans, but by far the
greater number are for "honcst money" and free
schooI&'l
With full vote, the republicans can suffer very
heavy losses and still win. The vote promises TO
be lssge snd the losses light. The republicans

BEN WADE ON REBELS AND INFLA-
gaaSsNf, TIONISTS.
Upon introducing Gov. Hayes to the Republ-
can meeting at jefferson, Ashtabula County,
Ohio, the other day, Mr.. Wade made short
speech, in which he said "The object of this
meeting i to hear our late Governor and prospec-
tive Governor upon the political issues. ] regard
the approaching election as one Of the most i'm
portapt we have had know that this is COM
mon remark when an election is pending, and yet
make it for sufficient reason. l have surveyed
the whole field in the light of history, and have
had ample time of late for such survey and such
. study, and have come to this conclusion. One
thing will satisfy you that it is important. Last
year the contest was decided against the old re-
publican party. What is the result In the
Southern States eighty Confederate officers are re-
turned TO Congress That is power that will
control that party. Now, there may be some men
that will believe that men who embarked all that
they had-life, fortune, evcrything-to break up
your Government, and to establish new one
whose cornerstone should be slavery will not give
MP that purpose so easily. One fact apparent these
men were elected because they did all they could
to overturn the Federal Government. Did you,
citizens of Ashtabula County, believe when you
we're helplng TO carry on the war, wnen you were
striving every nerve to clothe and feed and arm
ths- Union army, did YOU believe that the very
men you were fighting would to-day be returned
to sit in the councils Of the nationi What guar
antee have you that they have abandoned their
old purposes You will notice that not man Of
them but is most violent advocate of imitation OF
the currency. Why-I have it explained in
long letter received yesterday from a man well
mp in affairs in that section. 1t is that all in
fationists, because they want to make the curren-
cy vslueless, and then they are ready for another
war. II they had had the same credit during the
war that we had. do you suppose could have
beaten them? A war cannot be carried on with
out credit, and our superior credit enabled us to
beat them. They see now the rack on which they
Split and are anxious to bring US where they stood
with this Confederate currency.
Now, know that some people think that it is |
i a the power Of the Government to make good |
times. The Government can 10 more do it than
can make crop Of corn. There are people who
think that the Government can create something
out of nothing Only God Almighty can do that,
if He can. They are for an illmitablc expansion
of the currency. When we provided the green
backs, we put limit beyond which they should
not be issued, and that limit kept up its value.
Break over that limit and it goes down. am
not going 10 argue this question, because it
would be unfair to the gentlt man whom you have
come to hear.
