CHAMBERS CYCLOPEDIA.

We have lately received circular setting
forth the fact that there is to be issued new
and "handy" edition of the work named in
the headline. 1t is the design of the pub
fishers, (American Book Exchange, So Beck
man street, N. Y J to issue the Cyclopedia in
eight volumes of about 400 pages each "and,"
says the circular, "the entire work, in eight
mandy volumes, is furnished, free of express
or mail charges, for s. 90 in paper, So 90 in
cloth, or 81. so in half morocco. The pub
fishers sell only to subscribers direct, instead

60 per cent. discount to sell for them, which
accounts for the remarkable low prices As
to the history and character of this highly
valuable work, the same are eptomised in the
preface to the circular, as follows: "The
present work, the first of its kind in Great
Britain, was originally published in 1S43. 1t
was designed and commenced by the late DR..

The work was undertaken for the purpose of
supplying what was considered deficiency il
the literature addressed at that time to the
great body of the people-namely, crono-
logical series OF extracts from our national
authors-a concentration of the best pro-
auctions OF English intellect, from Anglo
Saxon to recent times set, as it were, in
popular biographical history of our literature.
Great efforts had previously been made for
the diffusion of useful knowledge, and for
popularizlng scientific information but there
was no work, at once cheap and comprehen-

imaginative and historical literature within
the reach of the busy mercantile and indus
trial classes of society" Here then is an

THE SUN ON REARNEY.

The New York Sun. which certainly
cannot be classeds with the organs of
monopolles. has the following criticism
when man unbridles his tongue and
gives vent to snreddenunciation
and abuse. he is liable to suddenly ae-
auire reputation for talent merely be.
cause his style of oratory is novel and
startling. There is reason to, believe
that such has been the case with Den.
mis- Kearney. His violent language
could hardly fail to arrest the attention
of the public, but when we look for an
idea in his speeches it is not to be
found. He talks in vague and general
terms. and unintelligently about evils
for which he proposes no. definite
remedy. He raves. People may con-
tinue for long while to flock to hear
Kearuey. He may draw great crowds
if he COMES to this city. Still. We
think there must be general feeling
of disappointment in him. He simply
proposes TO tear down, without any
project of rebuilding better. He is
wild and destructive. Those who have
sincerely at heart the cause of the la.
boring man, find it impossible to see
how it is to be aided by the present eff
forts of Dennis Kearney."

Fall Flowing.

The thrifty farmer knows full well
the advantages resulting from driving
his work, and his pillow shares are
kept bright during the late autumn
and early winter by constant use.
There is some spare time upon the
most busy farm when one, two or
more teams can be detailed to plow
stubble, level the ridges and turn
over the sward. Time is golden in
the Spring and every hour now saved
counts day when the future crops
are to be committed to the friendly
care of our mother earth.
The saving of time, however, is the
least valuable result of fail blowing.
The sun, the rain, the wind and the
frosts are most valuable assistants to
the farmer, and he is wise who avalls
himself of their labors. Especially
should grass lands and cold and clay
ey soils be plowed as earley in the
autumn as possible to enable them to
receive the fullest action of the ele'
ments. In the spring srcond pillow.
