A VALUABLE WORK.

The Centennial History of the United States,
ftm the Discovery Of the american Continent
to the Close Of the First Century of american
independence. By .Lames ID. Nc Cabe, Asthor
Of "a Manual Of General History" "The
Great Republic" Etc. Etc.
1t is well known fact that the great mass
of our people are compelled TO rely, for their
knowledge of the history of their country.
uoon the outline works intended for the use
of schools, which by their very nature are
brief; designed for the comprehension of
children, and in every way unsuited to TIE
adult mind. There has long been felt a
genuine want of a History of the United
States, covering the whole period from the
discovery of the Continent to the present day,
and presenting in succinct and comprehen-
sive form the history of our country through
its various periods, from a higher and more
thoughtful standpoint than would be proper
in a school history. This demand we are
happy to say is satisfactorily met in '.The
Centennial History Of the United States"
work which is evidently destined to take
rank as the Standard History Of our country.
The anthor, James D McCabe, is an able and
well known historical writer.
We most heartily commend this work to
our readers. 1t is no dry mass of details, no
bombastic effort TO inflame the national
pride, hut is II clear, vivid, and brilliant
narrative OF the events of our history, from
the discovery of the American Continent to
the present day. 1t gives II most interesting
account of the Indians of North America,
from the time of The coming of the white
men. The VOYAGES of Columbus, the explor-
ations of the different nations of Europe. and
tie wanderings of the Spaniards in search OF
gold and immortal youth, are told with
graphic power. Story Of the Revolution is
related with all the interest of a romance;
then follows clear and succinct account of
The formation Of the Federal Constitution,
the Second War with England, the Mexican
War. and the events Of our history up to the
commencement Of the Civil War The His
tory of the Civil War is related with intense
vigor, and with strict 6de ity to truth. The
author writes throughout with calmness and
impartiality, and pleads the cause of no sec
fion or party. The hook contains an Appen-
dix, giving an account Of the approaching
international eniennial Exhibition.
1t is comprised in one large and handsome
volume. of 925 pages, and contains 442 fine
engravings on steel and wood. The book is
issued by the National Publishing Co., of
Philadelphia, whose imprint is guarantee of
the excellence of the workmanship. The
price is low considering the character of the
work, and each subscriber is presented With
handsome photographic engraving of the
Centennial Exhibition Buildings md Grounds
i is sold by subscription only, and the pub
fishers want agents in every county.

hens which have laid 1000 eggs since the
first day of March last, Matched and raised
100 chickens, and are still going. These eggs,
at 25 cents dozen, would bring $52 rs, TO
say nothing about the chickens. The feed
for these hens cost $9. so, which shows pro-
fit of $42.75. And some say there is no pro-
