A Valuable Literary Work

Messrs. Virtue & Yorston of New York are en-
gagged in the publication of work of valuable and
useful character. 1t is entitled "The Museum OF
Natural History" being popular account of the
structure, habits and elias, ifcation of the various
departments of the Animal Kingdom, quadrupeds
birds reptiles, fishes shells and insects including
the insects destructive to agriculture. The au-
thors Of the work are Sir John Richardson, {. b ,
William S Dallas, F l.. s., and I. Spencer Cob
bold, NJ. D., assisted by William Baird, NJ
D., and Adam White, Esq, Curators of the
Geological department in the British Museum.
With the main work there will be published as an
appendix History of the American Fauna" by
Joseph b. Holder, NJ. ID. Asst. Supt. of the Amer
can Museum of Natural History, of New York
We have examined specimen parts Of the work.
and have hesitation in expressing the opinion
that it will meet much felt want for popular
history of this character. 1t is not loaded with
technical terms which few can understand 1t is
concise and plain yet full and thorough. 1t treats
of matters which all ought to understand, and
many will understand now that they are placed
before them in this form In it is the description OF
every animal that runs, flies, creeps, swims OF
lives. Reference is the same as in the case of a
dictionary or cyclopedia. The description of any
quadruped, bird, fish &C., may easily be found in
its pages. The illustrations will be numerous and
excellent. There will be $50 full-page plates
numbering many hundred figures, which will be
coored by hand. These are really elegant, worth
alone the price OF the whole work. Beside this
there will be 400 engravngs on wood, giving a
life-lke appearance to the pages of the work
This history is recommended in high terms by
the most distinguished Professors in our colleges
aud by other distinguished persons qualified to
Judge OF its merits, who vouch for the accuracy
and skill with which it is prepared. After such
testimonials as they have given in its favor little
more need be said. 1t will be noticed however
that the work is for popular use and not alone
for colleges or select schools. 1t is receiving the
patronage OF teachers throughout the States. II
is a work which should be in the hands OF every
parent, and which the young should be encouraged
to study.
The work will be published in Parts. II will be
completed in about thirty two Parts, at 80 cents
each. 1t is Published in quafto size. each Part
contains four Plates-one colored and three plain
and thrty-two pages Of Letter Press well illus
trated by Wood Engravings. Two Parts will be
issued monthly. No copies sold except by sub
scription. Mr. Farrell is agent for Augusta ant
is now taking subscribers.

lucky, and only five republican newspapers are
printed in the State. The democrats have l3j
papers.
The republicans at Washington have got the
start of the democrats with their campaign work.
They have their organization fully perfected and
have rented a large building for the season on +
street, the whole of which will be occupied.
Being asked whether he would object to the
clerks IN the Navy Department becoming mem-

Secretary Thompson is reported to have said that

The Philadelphia Press has compiled
and published comparative statement of
prices from 1860 to the present. The list.
which is an elaborate one, contains all the
main staples which enter into food, cloth
ing and the leading industries OF the
country, and the result shows that the cost
of living to-day has not only reached the
hard pan rates before the war, but is in
fact 20 to 80 per cent. cheaper than in
1850

There is a premium on greenbacks in
San Francisco, and taking the whole
country over our current paper money is
worth more than it was before the war.
Though it was nominally at par then, yet
the discounts on the old State bank notes
outside of their own immediate localities
made a greater difference than that which
now exists.

These operations OF TiIden's agents in
the South occasion more trouble in the
minds OF democrats than of republicans.
Everybody understands that they are de-
signed to fasten his hold on the democratic
party, and while republicans can welcome
such result, the majority of democrats
find it very much against their stomach

The Public Debt Statement.

The public debt statement for April is
highly gratifying. The reduction of the
debt during the month is S3,0lj, 500. The
decrease for the past ten months is S23,-
450, 30 So the debt steadily and surely
becomes less, and each successive step in
last taken. We passed the point of
greatest difficulty in the management OF
the debt some time ago, providing Con-
gress leaves "well enough alone"
As bearing upon the question OF re-
sumption of specie payments the state
ment is encouraging. The Treasury
holds coin to the amount of Sl56. 037 ,236,
of which there is held over $50. 600, 600
for coin certificates, and over so O00, 900
10 redeem called bonds and other out
standing coin liabilities, leaving the actual
coin balance now in the Treasury, against
which there are no current obligations
$50, ~ Cos Deducting the amount OF
subsidiary silver coin from this amount,
which is about $500, 600, and there is
left gold balance in the Treasury of
more than SS5, 900, 900, which is an in
crease over the amount held the first day
of April of about, $50, 000, 900. This
looks like resumption in earnest.
The whole Understanding debt, with
the exception Of the $l4, 100000 of Navy
pension fund, which bears 3 per cent in
terest in lawful money, is Sl,735, 1856 $50
OF this, 1913, 619 900 bears per cent
interest; S703, 266 $50 bears per cent ;
S2l0, 900 900 bears | 2 per cent and
SS3. $50. 900 bears per cent. The yearly
interest on all is S92 2S4,472 The debt
bearing no interest, including legal-teader
notes, fractional currency, certificates of
deposit, and coin and silver certificates,
amounts to SAG, 90S. 273 The outstand-
ing legal-tenders are 1916 6Sl ,016
During the twelve months ending March
81, the value of domestic exports was
S665 223 900, an increase over the value
of exports the preceding year of about
SOS,ob',oV'. III iuipoito tHctc was All III
crease the last year over the preceding
year of over $42 600. 900
As AN indication that the country is
upon the verge of resumption, it is men,
toned at the Treasury Department that
several parties, during the past few days,
in presenting coin checks, have requested
that the amount be paid in currency. In
other instances parties presenting coupons
for interest on bonds have made similar
requests. The Secretary has directed
that in all cases where parties presenting
coin checks or coupons, desire currency,
they shall be paid in that way.

The only way in which governments as
well as individuals can keep their paper
at par is by promising to redeem 1t with
something of real value, and by showing
both the ability and the will to keep its
promises faithfully. The new National
or reenback party, instead of placing a
higher standard of honesty before the
people and melting their ambition to at
tain it. seems to appeal to their very basest
motives 1t is scheming how most effect
sally the creditor of the nation may be
cheated. 1t proposes to violate the law
charering national banks-the best sys-
tenn that has ever been devised for public
convenience and security, system fore
Swallowed by Washington and Hamilton,
approved by Abraham Lincoln, perfected
by Chase and Fessenden, and the ablest
statesmen Of the time-this system it is
proposed to overturn, without substituting
any other for its office But worst of all
the features in the greenback movement,
is its communistic tendency. The appeals
of its public speakers and papers are de-
signed to excite the discomfort of the poor
and the ignorant. These classes are in
structed that their burdens are unnecessa-
sarily hard, and that the policy of the
government is designed to Cypress them.
We protest that such appeals are both
false and dangerous, and that the RENE.
