A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.-The Centennial
History of the United States, from the discovery
| of the American Contin ent to the close of the
First Century of American Independence. By
James d. McCabe, Author of "a Manual of SEN
eral History" "Tbe Great Republic" etc., etc.
There has long been a great and universally
felt want of History of the United States suit
able for general use. This want is now being
supplied by The National Publishing Co., of St.
Louis, who have issued a handsome volume,
styled "The Centennial History of the United
States" by James d. McCabe, well known his
torical writer This work will, undoubtedly,
take rank as the Standard History of the United
| States. 1t is no dry mass of details-no bonn
bastic effort to iname the national pride, but is
a clear, vivid and brilliant narrative of the
events of our history, from the discovery of the
American Continent down to the present time
1t trace s'the evidences of that mysterious race,
the first occupants of our country, and gives
most interesting account of the Indians of North
America, from the time of the coming of the
white men. The voyages of Columbus, the ex-
ploratons Of the different nations of Europe, and
the final occupation and conquest of the land by
England, are told with graphic power.
Every step of our colonial history is traced
| with patient fidelity, and the sources of those
| noble, and we trust, enduring institutions which
have made our country free and great, are shown
with remarkable clearness. The causes of our
great struggle for Independence are told with a
logical force and ability unsurpassed in any
work of the day. Then follows clear and suc-
cinct account of the formation of the Federal
Constitution the establishment of the Union
the course of affairs until the breaking out of the
Second War with England; and full and CON-
prehensive account of that War and its results.
The events of our career from the close of that
contest to the commencement of the Civil War;
follow in their order. The history of the Civil
War is related with intense vigor, and with a
cause of no party or section. He states facts,
points out the lessons which they teach, and ap-
pealing to neither passion nor political feeling
trusts to the good sense of his countrymen to
pendix, giving an account of the approaching
Centennial Exhibition.
1t is comprised in one large, handsome octave
volume of 925 pages, and contains 442 fine en-
cravings on steel and wood of historical person.
ages and scenes The price is so low that all
can afford to purchase copy, and each snbscrb-
er is presented with superb lithog raphic en-
craving of the Centennial Exhibition Buildings
and Grounds. 1t is sold by subscription only,
and the publishers want agents in every county.

Thanks, sister, for thy cheering word,
That came like music from afar,
Clear As the notes of Springs first bird,
And welcome as its tidings are.

Or clasp in mine thy friendly hand;
But on my heart thy verbs are traced
Not written on ocean sand.

have no claim to Poets art;
Ny thoughts return unto me void,
Nor wake an echo in one heart
To aid the right, resist the wrong.
Through love to win vainly ask;
There is no music IN my song
Alas! it is fruitless task"
Then, from the plains Of Illinois,
Came, clear and sweet, thy answering song
A bugle note from Poet lips,
To bid my fainting heart be strong.
Thy loving hands in thought press,
Though broad prairies intervene,
And with my warnest wishes bless
The Poet friend ne'er have seen.

BEN. BUTLER.-We like old Ben. Buffers style.
He '1ays" for his enemies, bides his time, and
swoops down upon them when they least expect
1t. We predicted, some time ago, that he would
beat them yet; and he has already begur to get
in some pretty solid blows. He has been nosin 9
around, and has got on the trail of witnesses by
whom it can be proven that Pendleton paid part
OF the money that he got on the Kentucky rail-
road claim to Mrs. Belknap. But he has inflict-
cd the worst damage upon r. H. Dana, who was
nominated for Minister to England. Dana was
one who assisted in defeating Butler for Congress-
and In electing Democrat over him. Butler
has been laying the facts before the Senate, to-
gether with other questionable transactions of
Dana's. The result is, that the Committee have
reported against Dana's confirmation, and he

Shortening up Time ON the jackson Road.
The old reliable New Orleans, St. Louis
and Chicago railway has consummated q
greater portion of the rebuilding Of it's
favorite road, and the res ult is that it has
shortened up the time by leaving the depot
every evening at half-past five O'Clock on
and after Monday next, instead of four
O'Clock, a. heretofore. Another great fea-
ture will be the arrival of the United States
mail in the morning at ten O'Clock, instead
of half past twelve, as heretofore.
1t has also reduced the fare to New York
to $40 50, saving of 81 on regular tickets.
It must be recsllected that by the great
jackson route there Is no change to Cincir.
natl or St. Louis, and but one change to the
centennial at Paramount Park, Philadel-
phia, and but one change to New York,
Baltimore and Washington.
The old patrons of this route who have
lately passed over the road, unhesitatingly
state that it is in complete order, and has
many advantages for the comfort Of pas
sengers that can not but be appreciated by
the travelling community.
This shortening up of time by the Jack.
son road will be great convenience to
business men, who will have more time for
their business, and the Galveston passen.
gers will have ample time to make connec-
tions for all points.

The City and the Wharves-An Important
Correction.
In the case Of Mrs. Louisa Y James ve
the city of New Orleans ct al, the opinion
of Judge Billings has been misquoted on
two very important points. The judge was
reported as deciding, first, that there was
no question as to the binding force of the
pledge of the revenues of the wharves; and,
second, that there was no question as to
the power of the city to pledge the reve-
nues Of the wharves, 50 that they can not
be applied so far as requisite to keeping
them in repair. The judge held, on the con-
trary, that there was question as to the
binding force of the pledge, and, also, that
there ,cas question as to the second prop
osition, and that to his mind both questions
were serious ones.

The Straight University.

The Straight University.
One of the most complete, practical and
useful Institutions of learning in this city il
the Straight University, located on the fine
thoroughfare Of Esplanade street. The
faculty and teachers are: j. A. Adams, act.
ing president; Hon. Simeon Belden, j. c.
Walker, w. r. Whitaker and j. p. Smith,
professors of the law department; Rev. w.
s. Alexander, professor of theology; J. M
McPherron, professor of mathematics;
Misses S. A. Parmelee, Josephine Pierce, H.
j. Halleck and E. NJ. Maunder, assistant
teachers.
The closing exercises of the past term of
the University commenced ON Sunday
evening, the fourth instant, with an able
address before the theological class, de-
livered by DR.. Alexander, on the subject,
"The Ministry we Need.'
Examinations in various studies were
thereafter held on Tuesday, Wednesday.
Thursday and Friday. The proficiency and
attainments shown in the theological, an
cient history, Latin, botany, mathematical,
geography and English grammar classes
were most creditable, and gratifying alike
to the teachers and friends of the Uni
versity.
On Thursday evening the annual exhibi-
tion exercises were held at the Central
Church. This was one of the most interest
ing exhibitions for entertainment ever given
by the students of the university. The pro
gramme was somewhat lengthy, but the at
tention Of the large audience remained un-
abated to the end. In the prize reading
contest the h0nors were awarded to Miss
Cora Gordon by the committee, though it
was difficult to discriminate between her
Thoroughbred and Miss Wilson, her COM
petitors. Several songs, duets and dialogues
we're we'll rendered, and during the evening
short and excellent speeches on prominent
men of the day were delivered by Messrs.
Colwell. of Baton Rouge, Bailey, of Eagle
Pass, Texas, and Ray, of New Orleans,
young students deserving of praise.
The regular graduating exercises occurred
on Friday evening, when essays and ad-
dresses we're delivered and diplomas
awarded.
The law department of the Straight Uni
verify presents such excellent advantages,
that many of our young men, not colored,
have availed themselves of the opportunity
and privilege OF attending its lectures, and
eight young men graduated from the law
class at the last term, and have been ad-
mitted to practice at the bar of the State
courts.
The next term of the university will com.
mence October 9, 1876.
