This want is now being supplied by The
National Publishing Co., of Philadel-

ume, styled "The Centennial History OF
the United States" by james d. Nc
Cabe, a well-known historical writer.
This work will, undoubtedly take rank
as the Standard History of the United

al pride, but it is clear, vivid and bril-
liant narrative of the events of our his
tory, from the discovery of the Ameri-
can Continent down to the present time

tions of the different nations of Europe
and the final occupation and conquest Of
the land by England, are told with
graphic power.
Every step is traced with patent fidel
ity, and the sources Of those noble, ano

sense of his countrymen to sustain hi
views. The book contains an Append

Col. E. B. Sawyer, late clerk of the La
noble county court, for 81, 300, alleged
to have been embezzled by him, and has
attached the furniture and fixtures of
his hotel at Hyde Park. He resigned
some time ago, and when his bondsmen

vanced him.

p. S. By a letter from Walpole it
appears that the republicans of that
town did quite as well as could be expect
ed, Their own canvass showed them to
have but 1875 available voters, and got
out 1S9 of them, while the democrats
could have polled ten more.

A RELIC OF SLAVERY" Perley
writes to the Boston journal, from Wash
ington, that the attachment Of many of
the emancipated slaves for their former
owners is a subject of frequent comment
there, and a police reporter gives the
following example: An old white woman
was arraigned yesterday morning for
drunkenness, found guilty and sentenced
to seven days in the workhouse She
sat down in corner of the dock, and
soon afterward, the court having al
journed, an old colored man came in,
bringing a pitcher Of coffee and plate
of provision, and approaching the Mar
shall he asked, in an agitated voice:
Bos, is yer got an old white lady in
dar named Riley 2"
Some one replied in the affirmative,
and the old mans face frightened up at
once. Turning to a number of gentle
men who were standing near, he said
Gentlemen, | heered dis mornin' dat
de perlice had rested my old missis, and
| cum here to see her, and dey wouldn'
femme in. Dat ole lady, gemmen, was
rich woman onst, and | was her SER
want. She raised me from a small chile.
and when | heered of de trouble she
was in | felt jest like crying; and when
| cum here, and dey wouldn't femme see
her, SEE |, | sez, she Amt had muffin ter
eat, and ! took all de money had in de
world and fetched it to her.
He then advanced toward the dock,
calling her by name, and when she ap
peared said sold misses, here's suthin
done brought for yer to eat You
was kind to me onst, yer was, and Use
gwine to help dem as was good to me"
The old woman burst into tears as
she accepted the bounty of her former
slave, and subsequently she emancipated
herself from drunkenness by signing the
temperance pledge.
