A Valuable work,

The Pictorial History of the Unitel
States, from the Discovery Of the Amer
lean continent to the present time
with a complete history of the Ccnten
NAL Exhibition. BY Jas. ID. McCabe
Author Of "a Manual OF General His
tory" "The Great Republic" &c.
Its a well-known fact that the grea.
mass OF u people are compelled L
rely, Tor their knowledge Of the history
OF lheir country, upon the Outlin,
works intended for the use OF schools.
winch by their very nature are brief;
designed for the comprehension OF
children, aud In every way unsuited
10 the adult mind. There has long
been felt a genuine want of the IlistO-
ry OF the United States, covering the
whole period from the discovery of the
Continent 10 the present day, and pre-
senting In a succinct aud cOmprehen-
slve form the history Of our country
through Its various periods, from a
higher and more thoughtful standpoint
than would be proper in a school his
tory. The demand we are happy to
say is satisfactorily met in ''Ihe Picto-
rial History OF the United States" a
work which is evidently destined to
take rank as the Standard History OF
our country. The author, Jas. ID. Nc
Cabe, is an able and well known his
+tOrical writer.
We most heartily commend this
work to our readers. 1t is no dry mass
OF details, no bombastic effort TO in
flame the national pride, but a clear,
vivid, and brilliant narrative of the
events of our history from the discOv-
cry of the American Continent to the
present day. 1t gives a most interest
ing accOun of the Indians of North
America, from the time of the coming
OF the white men. The voyages OF
Columbus, the eXploIa tions of the diff
ferent nations of Europe, and the wan
behring's of the Spaniards in search of
gold and immortal youth, are told with
graphic power. The story of the revO-
luton Is related with all the interest
of a romance; then follows a clear and
succinct account of the formation of
the Federal Constitution, the Second
War with England, the Mexican War,
and the events of our history up TO the
commencement of the Civil War. The
History Of the Great Civil War is rela-
ted with intense vigor, and with strict
fidelity to truth. The author writes
with calmress and impartiality, and
pleads the cause of no section or party.
The books contains a complete account
of the Centennial Exhibition.
1t is comprised in one large and
handsome volume, of over 100 pages,
and contains more than 500 fine engra-
wings on steel and wood. The book is
issued by the National Publishing Co.,
of Philadelphia, Pa, Chicago, Ill, and
st. Louis, No, and Dayton, Ohio,
whose imprint is a guarantee of excel
lence of the workmanship. The price
is low considering the character of the
work, and each subscriber is presented
with a handsome photographic engra-
wing of the Centennial Buildings and
Grounds. 1t is sold by subscription
only, and Mr.. B. +. GREENLEE, who is
the authorized agent for this section
is now canvassing for it.

Vulgar

1t must please heads of families
whose wives and children read the
Cleveland Banner, to observe the Ian
guage it uses in its editorial %quarrels.
1t is more instructive to look at 'pic-
tures' than to read billingsgate. A
paper should be as chaste in language
as in thought and not teach the risiHg
generation such gross epithets as our
good, though sometimes weak friend
of the Banner uses when lie loses his
temper. Editors should think of the
dignity of their calling and keep their
papers free from all such uniting and
injurious language.-CRattaRo2ya Com

We understand that one night last
week some unknown party killed two
fine oxen belonging to Mr.. Frank Low
cry, and since that time another one
has had its tongue cut out, by the same
party it is supposed. Mr.. Lowery was
at Nashville at the time. The English
language does not contain epithetS
enough to be applied to a human being
that is so degraded as to take revenge
on a person by injuring his property,
but there is thing certain-a man
that would do such a thing would burn
a house or take the life of an innocent
babe. II Is to be hoped, that for the
benefit of society at least, the per-
petrator of the deed will be found and
punished. Mr.. Lowcry was at home a
few days ago looking the matter up.

however, that we were somewhat sur

The fact that "Blower" Brown, who
won the great six days. match in
England by score of 543 miles, and
that Weston, who won it back from
him by score af $50 miles, were both
forty years Ofage seem to show that for
sonc efforts men reach their physical
prime later than has been supposed
For athletics of some kinds man Is at
his best under thirty, rs in wrestling,

etc. But in long distance matches,
which are trials rathar of endurance
than of strength and dextcyity, the
men OF over forty have left the young
men ~ behind, and utterly broken
down, while they come out fresh at the
finish. Something analogous to this is
found In trotting horses. Horses that
run reach their prime at four or five
years; the trotters often do their best
work ut the age.of.. twelve or fourteen
years. The reason may perhaps be In
this, youth Is more.supple and flexible
and Its movements, therefore, less reg
ular and systematic than those of ma
turily. The walk Of II young man has
not the machine-like regularity and
precision that characterize the pace of
walker of long practice. There is
consequently some loss ofpower. The
supplcness that Is necessary to enable
the athlete to run at top of speed, is in
his way when machine-like precision Of
pace Is the great disideratum. The
same remark applies to the trotting
horse. The trot is usually an acquired
gait, the result of long. practice and
training. The stcadincss Of stride that
does not "brcak up" is of the utmost
Importance. But still the recent result
of the pedestrian matches in England,
which twice gave the victory to men
over forty, when the men Of twenty
five and thirty were utterly prostrated
by fatigue, shows that with good care
of ourselves we may keep our physical
energies up to later period Of life than
is ordinarily supposed. If a man is in
his physical prime ut forty, he ought
not to be far down the hill ut fifty.

A Mysterious Hand.

A curiosity which puzzles scientists
is now on exhibition in Gould's c9binet
at Mill City, New. 1t is perfectly
formed hand, which apparently be-
longed to a boy about fourteen years of
age. The hand is open, the fingers be-
ing slightly bent toward the palm, on
which the thumb rests. The back of
the hand seems to have been crushed
or decomposed before petritied, the
palm, thumb and fiugers are perfect.
1t was found at the sulphur beds
near Rabbit Hole by one Of the men en-
ployed in shoveling crude sulphur into
the refining retort, and is supposed to
have been imbedded in the sulphur
bank for ages. The fingers are COM
parativCly short, a fact which indicates
that it did not belong to an Indian, as
the red mems fingers are generally
longer than those of the whites; but
the thumb Is rather longer than the
average. 10 what race the owner of
the hand belonged, and how and when
1t was imbedded in the sulphur wi
probably ever remain unknown.
