VsHHE UNDERSIGNED HAVING BEEN
4 appointed Agents for the Hawaiian Islands for APpleton's
American CyCIop8dia,

Takes pleasure in calling the attention Of the public to this
great enterprise, which brings a library into every mans
household. The American CycIopadia is the grandest work
ever Published in America; il is the knowledge of the centuries
boiled down, the essence of all books crystallized. It stands
on your shelves ready to answer every conceivable question,
ard gives in brief paragraphs the results of other mems years
OF toilsome investigation.
In this age no one has time to grope among the thousand
and one different works for every fact required, even If the
volumes stand on his shelves; while with u cyclop@dia, the
matter in question is found at once, digested, condensed,
stripped of all that is irrelevant, and verified by a comparison
of the best authorities. Moreover, this compilation has been
performed by special writers, who are the highest authorities
upon the subjects with which they deal; so that this work is
the epitome and ultimatum Of all knowledge, and precludes
the necessity OF having other books. You are probably spend
ing dollar after dollar for books which are only of limited
scope, whereas the same money expended in the same small
amounts for the American Cyclopsdia, will purchase a library
complete.
It is not obligatory to take all the volumes now published
upon the first delivery; q volume may be delivered once a
month, or once in two months, at the option Of the subscriber,
and can be had in Library Leather, half Morocco or Russia
bindings, ranging in price from $3.50 to Sl1oo per volume.

Two DAYS In Calvert.

0NANCAeF
After looking at the city Of Dallas
and the country around, l started down
the State, stopping at the principal
places along the line, until l arrived at
Calvert, the county seat Of Robertson
county, a distance Of two hundred and
twelve miles from Denison, on the
Texas Central Railroad, which divides
the town nearly In half The business
portion of the town lays west of the
road. Calvert is live place, with a
population Of about three thousand,
and everybody seems to have the vim
and push about them. As yet they
have not given much attention to the
sidewalks, or the planting of shade
trees, which would be great improve
ment in the comfort and appearance Of
the place. This, / suppose, has been
neglected on account Of the press Of
business. After supper, at the Over
all House, which was not until eight
o'clock, l started out to look at the
town, and to my surprise / found my
self almost alone; every place Of busi-
ness closed up and no body on the
streets. On inquiring | learned that
this custom prevailed throughout the
State, and the places of business are all
closed at sunset; nobody goes to sup
per until after the stores are closed
Merchants spend their evenings at home
with their families, and if they should
be SO unfortunate as not to have any
they can spend the evening very pleas
antly by calling at Mr.. BIS, where Miss
Mary or Miss Addie plays very nicely
on the organ and sings so sweetly.
Young men in Calvert spend very
pleasant evenings in company like that.
Just look at the difference In Texas
everybody does their shopping in the
afternoon of Saturday, and everybody
in Middletown in the evening !; in
Texas, no business Saturday night !;
in Middletown, Saturday night the
rush. When the merchant in Middle
town is closing his store the merchant
in Texas has been sleeping two hours
or more, and the young clerks are tip
ping their hats with good night to Mr..
AS youngest or eldest, where he has
been spending a very pleasant evening.
I think an arrangement Of this kind
would be accepted by the clerks of
Middletown as an improvement over
the present style of doing business. But
SO it is-Calvert is in Texas, and Mid
dletown is in Delaware, one Of the Old
States. To be continued.

THE EUROPEAN WAR.

Comparatively little progress has
yet been made in the great war be-
tween Russia and Turkey. The Rus
slams, having advanced as far as their
own side of the Danube, content them
selves with staying there and glaring
at the Turks who stay on their side Of
the river and return the glare Of their
enemies, and amuse themselves by oc-
casionally throwing a shell at them.
This is about the status of things in
Europe. In Asia Minor there seems
to be little more activity. All the
fighting, of any amount, that has SO
far been done, has taken place there,
and the latest dispatches report a great
battle as having just taken place near
the city Of Kars. The Russians made
a determined and furious onslaught
upon that city last Saturday morning
but, after keeping it up all that day
and the next and Monday, they were
forced to retire with heavy losses
Nothing daunted, however, they are
reinforcing their ranks and continue
the seige of the city, and viii, in all
probability, capture it within few
days or weeks. In the meantime the
Turks and Montenegrins have been
doing some heavy fighting and, left to
fight the battle by herself, poor little
Montenegro has been almost crushed
by her great opponent Her people
fought brayely and well, but though
they @piled the ground with MOslem
slain" they were not able to resist sue
cessfully the overwhelming hordes Of
their enemies, and have been obliged
to retreat from the open field to their
strongholds, where they will, doubtless,
be soon overcome unless some Of the
greater powers interfere to prevent
them from being crushed.
