whereabouts. He not heard of again until yester-
day Van driver William Blockam, of the Jersey City
Police Department when returning from his stable
noticed a light burning in the fork of a
large oak tree the Gilbert property near

DIR. MOSS ON ARCTIC EXPLORATION.

Several we'll written and illustrated books have
been issued by enterprsing publishers since the re-
turn Of the British Arctic expedition from the far
North Indeed the list of books Arctic exploration
and discovery has been gradually enlarged to such
extent that few ordinary readers have the least idea
of the industry displayed by writer's on these sub
jecs. is only when requires to consult all the
authorities that he finds he must examine many
Yet interest in Arctic adventure does not appear
flag and we find the latest addition to the literature
of the icy northern lands and interesting
if it were the pioneer volume q
new subject. DR.. Edward L. Moss, of the
British expedtionary ship Alert gives us
through the press of Marcus Ward & Co., of Bel
fast and London, new views of mysterious region,
taken the boundary line, which the white
man has not yet been able to While the thread
of the story, ''Shores of the Polar Sea- is, the
thor and the publisher announce "A Narrative of the
Arctic Expedition of 1s75-7G." find many new
things in it that forget reading old story
in dress. There details in all great under
takings which cannot be referred to in official reports
nor in the extended personal narratives which
generally written by the most prominent of
the persons engaged. Although Captain Sir
George Mares. r. N, has written q very read
able account Of the expedition he commanded. it
summarizes too much the story OF the daily life
amid the ice and which is full of interest for
everybody. This DIR. Moss supplies very pleasantly
and fully adding with his clever pencil what the pen
cannot find space to describe. Besides numerous
very good pen and ink sketches the book is illustrated
by sixteen really fine acknowledgements in colors,
which convey at glance the cleares impressions of
the grandeur of Arctic scenery. The style in which
the book-one volume. imperial folio--is published
reflects the highest credit on Marcus Ward & Co. In
deed the binding is work of art in itself The letter
press is large and clearly printed heavy gilt edged
paper the whole forming exceptionally fine and
highly ornamCuted work.

JoHNsoS's NEW UNIVERSAL cYcLopEpIA,


This work, published by A. J. johnson 4 Son,
New York. consisting of four large and hand
some volumes, averaging more than one thousand
seven hundred pages, has been completed above q
year, the first volume bearing date 1874 and the
fourth 1877 Owing to the fact of its publication by
subscriptions however, IL has not received that prom
ncnt notice in the great newspapers and the literary
reviews TO which its intrinsic merits richly enttle 10
as being one of the most important scientific enter
prises ever carried out in America. The plan of the
work was conceived by the late Horace Greeley,
who, had he lived, would have been it's edi-
tor-in-chicf, and several important political and
statistical articles In the first volume are from his
skilful pen. II may be doubted, however, whether
the death Of that eminent journalist was not really
an advantage to the Cyclopedia, which then fell into
the editorial hands of of the most distinguished
of American scientists, President r. A. r. Barnard
LII. D., of Columbia College, who has not only
enriched the work with many original treatses npon
important scientific topics. but secured the coopera.
tion OF the abest minds of America and OF not few
Europeans Of worldwide celebrity. The array of
associate editors upon the title page is muster roll
of talent such scarcely be equalled by any
other similar enterprise. There are " be found the
