.Eiyidstyle. Ancient history 10 relatad
In full, and the accounts Of the Middle
Ages, the Crusades, and the great nations
OF modern times, are equally complete
and interesting. THERE'S not 4 dry page
in the book. It Is - fascinating n q
romance. and at the same time one Of the
most valuable works OF reference ever
published. We are constantly called
upon to discuss the great questions Of
history, and the wars and quarrels Of the
nations Of the old world require us to be
continually refreshing u historical
knowledge. So many discoveries have
recently been made, so many Of the old
ideas and traditions have been exploded
and shown to be mere myths and legends,
that the subject Of history may be said to
10 be almost entirely new, and he who
was well informed twenty years ago will
End himself unable TO discourse In
telligibly upon historical subjects
now unless he has kept up with the adj
vance Of historical research.
The mechanical execution Of the book
fully sustains the high reputation OF THE
publishers. It contains 1880 large
double, column pages, and over $50 fine
engrayings, embracing battle and other
historical scenes; portraits Of the great
men Of ancient and modern times, and
views OF the principal cities Of the world.
The eugravings in this book are genuine
works Of art, and were made st a cost OF
S25, 900. The great number and high
character Of these ~engrayings make this
the most valuble art publication Of the
century. A prominent feature OF the
work Is 4 full History Of the late War
between Russia and Turkey.
This 10 the most complete and valuable
History Of the World ever published,
and agents who take hold Of It will reap
q rich harvest. .The price is so low that
every one can afford to purchase a copy.
III IL sold by subscription only, and the
publishers want Agents in every county.

West virginia Estate.

Washington Uulou.
A Mrs. Eliza Miller, Of New York
lays claim to 10000 acres OF wild land
in West Virginia and Kentucky, which
she claims to be worth sS0,OO0,0OO. We
are reminded by this, as Mr.. Lincoln
used to say Of a little story. Some six or
seven years ago LIE Compile de Fleury, a
French nobleman OF considerable fortune
and high social position, came to this
country to look after 10000 acres (3l.'
900 acres more than Eliza lays claim to)'
The land was located in West Virginia,
and the Count held an unbroken chain oil
title going back to the days Of the Revo'
luton, Since the 10000 acres had come
into his possession he had been paying
his taxes regularly, first into the Treas
ury OF Virginia, and, after the breaking
out Of the war, into the Treasury OF West
Virginia. When Count de FIeury arriy.
ed at Charleston, the then Capital oil
West Virginia, he made inquiry as to
his land. A farm OF 10000 acres (more
than 200 square miles, IL not so Email
that its exact location should be un-
known to the community round about
And yet surprising as it may seem
nobody knew anything about the French
nobleman's large estate, upon which the
State Treasurer had been relying to NEE
a no inconsiderabIe portion of the Gov
ernor'a salary. The best land lawyers
when cousulted, examined his title (th1'

and then gave him some advice. It was
to the effect that be should withdraw hii

Was the noble Count disappointed
Perhaps. He had some over with an

ants on his grand dukely, not to say
p~rincely, estates. He was, fortunately, q
man Of excellent judgment, and wen

formerly paid foe taxes on that 10000

The Prospects tor Ore This Sea-
son..
Marquette Mining Journal.

Marquette Mining Journal.
There appears to be no change for the
better in the situation, so far rs the ore
market ia concerned. But little ore has
been sold, and some OF that at a price
which gives but little promise Of a profit
to sellers. Furnacemen generally have
declined TO make contracts for the sea-
sons delivery, evidently clinging to the
hope that our miners would, as in past
years, ship the product Of their mines to
lower lake ports and take the chances ofa
market. It is barely possible that mine
owners may be so unwise a to do this.
but we do not believe it; if,as we have said
before, they are wise, they will ship no
ore that ia not contracted for, unless they
feel abundantly able to hold it for an in
definite length Of time on the docks at
Cleveland and Ashtabula.

The Anteccdents of Disease.

Among the antecedents Of disease Or, in
ertness in the circulation of the blood, ar
unnaturally attenuated condition of the
physique, indicating that the life current is
deficient in nutritive properties, wan, bag

of appetite, sic p and strength, and Sc n
sation of unnatural languOr. All these may
be regarded as among the indicia of ap-
preaching disease, which will eventually at

Owing to the hard times and

Slnced the prices of all goods in
our line. We do not claim 10
sell for less than any one, but
viii sell as low as the same
goods can be bought in the

and best stock of hardware on
hand that has ever been in the
place, and the most Of it bought
this year, since the decline, and
bought for cash. We only ask
you TO call and price our goods,
and We will warrant satisfac-

~ At a called meeting of
st. John Lodge No. 121, /. o.
G. t., held Saturday night, 9th
instant, ten petitions for MEM
bership were presented, all of
whom were elected and eight
initiated. At the conclusion of
the meeting the degrees were
conferred on about fifty mem
bers by Col. Hickman. We
are glad to note the prosperity
of the Lodge and of the tenn
perance cause generally, in this
county. We hope our people
will encourage it by putting
their shoulders to the wheel, and
assist in strengthening the cold
water army. The cause is truly
noble one.

Rives' speech on the State debt,
Sd inst, was a sensible one; SO
say those who heard it.
Much uneasiness is entertained
about the rust on wheat; an old ex.
perienced farmer informs us that
he has closely examined several
fields during the last week, and
his opinion is that two-thirds Of
an average crop will be made.
We only hope this may be true,
but many fields we have seen
look very feeble just now.
Corn, cotton, gardens, etc, gen
orally look well in this district.
