United States suitable for general use.
This want Is now being supplied by
The National Publishing Co., st. Louis,
Mo-, who have issued a handsome vol
ume, styled THE Centennial History
of the United States" by James ID. Me
Cabe, n well known historical writer.
This work will, undoubtedly, take rank
AS the Standard History Of the United
states. Ii is no dry mass Of details
no %bombastic effort to infiame the ma
tional pride-but is n clear, vivid and
brilliant narrative Of the events Of u
history, from the discovery Of the
American Continent down 10 the present
time.
We most heartily commend this book
to our readers. IL gives a very inter-
esting account Of the Indians of North
America, from the time of the coming
of the white men. The voyage of Co
lumbus, the explorations Of the differ
ent nations OF Europe and the wander
ings OF the Spaniards in search of gold
and immortal youth, 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, en-
during 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 I'M
surpassed in any work of the day. Then
follows a clear and ~succinct account of
the formation of the Federal Constitu-
ton the establishment of the Union F;
the course of affairs until the breaking
out of the Second War with England I;
and a full and comprehensive account
Of that War and its results. The events
Of our career from the close of that con-
test 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 strict fidelity 4 truth (;
and the work closes with an account of
the course of affairs since the end Of
that great conflict. The author writes
throughout with the calmness and inn
partially Of a historian, and pleads the
cause Of no party or section. He states
facts, points out the lessons which they
teach, and. appealing to neither passion
nor political 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 it an appendix, giving an
account Of the approaching Information
al Centennial Exhibition.
1t is comprised in one large, handsome
octave volume of 925 pages, and con-
tains 4I2 fine engravings on steel and
wood Of historical personages and
scenes. The price is 50 lowthat all can
afford 10 purchase a copy, and each sub
scriber is presented with a superb litho-
graphic engraving Of the Centennial
Exhibition Buildings and Grounds. The
book is sold by subscription only, and
the publishers wan agents in every
county. See advertisement in another

BRAINS IN TIME OF PERIL.
Grand Theatre at Vienna was crowded.
The Emperor Francis, with several mem
bers of his family. was in the imperial
box. The play, "Schiller's Robbers, !"
had reached the third act, when cry
arose that the stage was on fire. Emile
Devrient signalled at once to the pro-
prietor, who lowered the curtain. The
actor, stepping in front of it ere it
wholly fell, in his clear clarion voice said:
1.-THE Emperor has been despoiled of
an aigrette of diamonds. No honest
person will object to being searched.
You will pass out one by one at each en-
trance and be searched by the police
stationed at the several doors. Any man
attempting to go out of order will be ar
rested" The crowd, deceived by the
GOODNESS of the charge poured out. AS
each reached tho door, he was simply
told to hurry on, just as the last rows of
the upper gallery were filing ont the
flames burst through the curtain. But
not life was lost, though in less than
an hour afterward the building was in
ruins.

To the leeward of one of the Blessed
Isles little boat lies moored; she rests
lightly upon the beautiful blue waters
that ripple carelessly against her sides
and fringe them with tiny drops that
change to pure crystal in the clear light
of the moons silver hair. She is idly
waiting for tho summons that some day
will send her to convey one of earth's
children across the deep waters to the
heavenly shore. When freighted with
the precious burden of human soul
she floats down the river of time, ont
into the sea of eternity, and stops not
till she reaches the pearly gates and
transfers her charge into the holy keep
ing of the Angel of Resurrection.

A PRINTERS DREAM.

A printer sat in his Office chair, his
boots were patched and his coat thread
bear, while his face looked weary worn
with care, while sadly thinking of buis-
ness debt, old Morpheus slowly round
him crcpt, and before he knew it he
soundIy slept; and, sleeping he dream
ed that he was dead from trouble and
toll his spirit had fled, and that
not even COW bell tolled, for the
peaceful rest of his cowhide sole. AS
he wandered among the shades. that
smoke and seorch in lower Hades, he
shortly observed an iron door, that
creakingly swung on hinges ajar, but
the entrance was closed by red-hot bar
and Satan himself stood peeping out,
and watching for travellers there about,
and thus to the passing printer spoke,
ana wIy1I growing voice the echoes woke:
"COme in my dear, it shall cost you
nothing and never fear; this is the place
where cook the ones who never pay
their subscription sums. for though is
life they may escape, they will find when
dead it is too late; will show the place
whero I melt them thin, with red-hot
chains and scraps of tin, and also where
[ comb their heads with broken glass
and melted lead, and if of refreshments
they only think, there's boiling water
for them to drink; there's the red-hot
grindstone to grind down his nose, and
red-hot rings to wear ON his toes, and if
they mention they don't like fire, I'll sew
up their mouths with red-hot wire; and
than, dear sir, you should see them
squirm while 1 roll them over and cook
to turn" With these last words the
printer awoke, and thought 10 all prac-
ticle joke; but still at times so real did
it seem, that he cannot believe it was all
a dream; and often he thinks with
chuckle and grin, of the fate of those
who save their tin, and never pay the

A DETRoITER who was deceived by the
warm weather in March, into taking his
parlor stove down, had it back again i'll
four days. Next week he took it down
again, and the next restored it. He re-
membered of six different changes, and
as he sat with a-leg on either side of the
grateful heat, he patted the top of the
stove and remarked: "Don't blame you
at all-I'm the fool; you are up here for

keep you red hot all through July and

SALT RIsINGs BREAD.-A lady in
Rockville, Mo-, sends the Inter Ocean
the following: One teaspoonful of new
milk, one of boiling water, teaspoonful
of salt, one of sugar; stir into this flour
until it will cleave from the spoon.
Then set it into a kettle of very warm
water, and keep it as near the same
temperature as possible. IF you wish
to have good bread use no soda, and
use half as much yeast as water to wet
up the flour needed: make sponge as
for hop yeast; it will rise in an hour.
