History, -" Patsseays Of aas Holy Lsad,"
Efs., Etc. fe9t
There has long been great and uni
versally-felt want of q History Of the Unit
ed States suitable for general use. This
want is now being supplied by the Ma
ional Publishing Co., Of Chicago. III.
who have issued handsome volume,
styled The Centennial History Of the
United States" by james %. McCabe, .
wellknown historical writer. This work
will, undoubtedly, take rank as the Stand
ard History of the United States. 1t isn't
dry mass OF de,aiis-no bombastic effort
to inflame the national pride, but Is .
clear, vivid and brilliant narrative Of the
events of our history, from the discovery
or the American Continent down TO the
present time.
We most heartily commend this book to
our readers. 1t gives very interesting
account of the Indians Of North America,
from The time Of the coming OF the white
men. The voyages of Columbus, the ex-
plorations of the different nations of Eu-
rope, and the wanderings Of the Spaniards
in search of gold and immortal youth, are
tod with graphic power.
Every step Of our colonial history is
traced with patient fidelity, and the sources
Of those noble, and We trust, enduring in
situations which have made our country
free and great, are shown with remarka-
BILE clearness. The causes of our great
struggle for Independence are told with .
logical force and ability unsurpassed in
any work Of the day. Then follows
clear and succinct account Of the forma-
ton Of the Federal Constitution; the es-
adjustment of the Union; the course OF
affairs until the breaking out of the Sec
ond War with England; and full and
comprehensive account Of that War and
its results. The events OF our career from
the close of that contest TO the commence
ment of the Civil War, follow in tLcir or
der. Tire history of this Civil War Is re-
lated with Intense vigor and with q strict
fidelity to truth; and the work closes with
an account of the course Of affairs since
the end Of that great conflict. The au-
thor writes throughout with the calmness
and impartiality of historian, and
pleads the cause of no party or section.
lie states facts, points out the lessons
which they teach, and appealing to neither
passion nor politica! feeling, trusts to the
good sense of his countrymen TO sustain
his views. In order TO render the work
complete in every respect. the author has
added to II an appendix, giving an account
of the approaching International Ccnten.
NAL Exhibition.
1t is comprised in one large, handsome
octave volume of 925 pages, and contains
442 fine engravings on steel and wood OF
historical personages and scenes. The
price is so low that all can afford TO pur-
chase a copy, aud each subscriber Is pre-
scented with superb photographic engrav.

THE average American farmer has not
yet learned how to make the most out of
his land. The great object, hitherto, has
been TO secure as much land as possible,
and little attention has been paid To its
economical use. We know number Of
farmers, Old men now, who have labored
hard all their lives in order to increase
their possessions, while the land they al
ready owned, much Of it at least, did not
pay anything like reasonable interest on
the investment. And the more land they
obtained the worse was il managed. We
have no objections TO large farms where
there is capital, energy and ability enough
to run them. But that is just where the
trouble is Men own and try to cultivate
500 acres with only capital and force for
200 perhaps; and the remaining 300 acres
is dead loss Most farmers are capable
Of managing 100 or 200 acres probably,
but it requires able and energetic man.
agement to make 500 or / 900 acres pay
a proportioDate profit.
II is general complaint among farmers
that they have not land enough. A friend
whom we were visiting not long since,
gave this as reason why he could not
lay up any money. He had 100 acres,
over his farm We were satisfied that one
third of il, at least, did not pay the taxes
on it. There was field of ten or fifteen
acres, low, wet ground, covered with logs,
stumps, brush and debris. Coarse marsh
grass was all il produced, while if il were
underdrained and properly cultivated, IL
was capable of producing 100 bushels of
corn to the acre A hilly pasture lot back
IF h NTH htaa nd
briers, and other waste places were fire.
quent We pointed this out TO him, and
plainly told him he had too much land
instead of too little.
Fences occupy too much land, general
ly The old fashioned rail fence occupies
a strip nearly rod wide, wherever il runs,
and the corners are usually grown up with
weeds and briers, so that the land is utter
ly useless. A recent statement says that
on a farm of 100 acres, divided into ten
acre fields, the fences will occupy ten
acres, and the loss of this land is equal to
a charge Of Cd per cent. on the whole
value of the farm-a pretty good interest
10 pay for neglect, alone. Nearly all of
this could be saved. Have no more fences
than are necessary, and keep the corners
under subsection, making them yield just
as biutu nay vi pdStulS 40 thouEh thSy
were not corners.
In planning for the coming seasons
campaign, let every one take these things
into consideration. II there is any land
on your farms that has not been yielding
its quota of crops, make arrangements for
culture. II it is only an acre, it is just
that much capital lying idle and on which
you are paying taxes, without receiving
any benefit
This waste of capital is the result Of
education. Land has been too plenty and
cheap, and its true value has not been APP
preciated. As the country grows older
these things will correct themselves, and
the day will come when every foot of soil
will be as carefully cultivated as ii is in
European countries now.--Ohio Farmer.

A Confidence Swindle In st. Louis.

A Woodworking colored man from
Springfield, H., named Alexander John
son, was yictimized out Of $40 yesterday
afternoon by couple Of confidence men
under the following circumstances: He
had just arrived in East st. Louis, and
was look ing around for a chance TO get
10 work when he came across very nice
looking gentleman who said he wanted TO
engage man TO go To New Orleans and
take care of stock on his farm. He said
he could pay $50 month, and Johnson
acknowledged his willingness 10 serve
him for that sum. The two then camt
across the bridge, the New Orleans party
remarking that lie wanted TO purchase
some artificial flowers for his wife
before the boat left for New Or
leans, and would like johnson To
go with him and carry the box down.
As they proceeded up the street third
party came up, pretending to be a friend
Of the New Orleans gentleman and asked
the loan of some money TO complete a
purchase, promising TO return IL to him
when they reached the boat. The New
Orleans gentleman was very sorry he
could not accommodate him, all his
money was at the boat also; but perhaps
Johnson had little he could sparef
Johnson feeling joyful at having secured
a situation, as he supposed, and being de.
sirous OF doing favor To his new master,
pulled out a poeketbook containing all
the money he had, S1i0, and offered II to
him. One hundred dollars would satisfy
the third party, but he would take the
whole amount for fear he might run short.
johnson acquiesced and the stranger
went off. The first party then remarked
that he believed he should carry down
the box Of artificial flowers himself, and
told Johnson to 90 to the boat and wait
for him. johnson returned 10 the boat
and waited several hours, when, finding
that he had been taken In, he told his
story to the police, and they are now on
the track Of the swindlers. st. L0nts Re

Rheumatism q ~ mpton OF Ou,er Dis
eases.

The alarming extent OF chronic rbeuma.
tism in the country has led 10 persistent In.
vestigation. II has lately been ascertained
that the disease Is the result OF other com.
plicated diseases Of the liver, kidneys, pan
creas, blood, absorbcnts, etc. In other
words. that rheumatism IL a symptom. 1t IL
also found that, by the removal OF the com
plicated disease. the rheumatism disappears,
as q result which seems to substantiate
the theory. We all know, TO our sorrow,
how fruitless the ordinary treatment Of this
disease has been, and we now hail with Joy
the dawn of this new discovery. We all
know that the symptoms Of these diseases
are generally present In cases Of chronic
rheumatism, but few have supposed the
disease to be an effect.
To remove these diseases the surest rem
edy can be found In the SHAKER EXTRACT
or Roors or CURATIVE SYRUP; 1t appears
10 be working many cures. We refer TO
