ME-. T. J. Mcdonnell, who is al
present canvassing the city for sub
scribers to several new and valua-
BILE publications, has shown US
specimen numbers of the Pacific
Coast Law Encyclopedia, by J. F
Cowdry, and the Pictorial History
of the World. by J. D. McCabe
The former is handbook for bust
ness men, and most valuable work
and the latter is the most perfect
history of ancient and modern times
ever issued from the press. It con-
tains 1000 pages, illustrated with
600 fine engravings, and should be
in the hands of every student OF
history. 1t would be a valuable
work to introduce into our public
schools.

The complainant still mourns the
