Cyclopedia of L literature.

A list of the celebrated authors whose
lives and writings are represented in
volume of the new ACME edition of
CHAMHERs's CYCLOPEDA OF ENGLISH
LITERATURE, just received, is certainly
very attractive to any person of fine liter
ary taste. Fox, Penn, Baxter, Bunyan,
Locke, Newton, Browne, Hale, Walton,
Dryden, Temple, Evelyn, Pepys, Butler,
Addison, Swift, Pope, Ramsay, Cibber,
Steele, Berkely, Defoe and Bollingbroke,
are few of the brilliant stars which
brighted the 4l6 pages. "It will bring
gladness to many scholars heart" says
the Times, of Philadelphia, "to find that
this truly admirable work has been
brought within the range Of shallow peck.
cts" Eight such volumes, beautifully
printed, and elegantly bound in cloth, for
only $3.50, or by the single volume for 43
cents, postpaid, Is certainly a marvel Of
cheapness, and should establish an en-
viable reputation for the publishers, If it
can not make their fortune. Already they

CURING Pop.CoRN.-Pop.e is
often spoiled in curing by being put in
rooms where the temperature runs too
high. Some people are of the opinion
that the drier the corn the better it
will pop, but such opinions are err
roneous. Pop corn is best cured In a
cool room-not in a hot, dry room, as
can soon be proven by test.

The styles of cases are wholly new, and

"SMITH" will make its way with favor into
the most prejudiced ears.

lHE PRISONERS SNINDLED.
A Barber who Proved as Sharp as
His RaZOrS.

The residents of the little town of
Poison Switch, in Mason Valley, are
mourning the loss Of suudry amounts
of money, occasioned by their un-
bounded confidence in a knight Of
the razor who came there short
time ago. AS the barber said that
he wanted to settle there the Poison
ers Immediately busted themselves to
procure him a new house and lot
in the central portion Of the town.
The barber then borrowed all the
money he could, got team from
Mr.. Swazey, who lives just ON the
Lyon county line, and left for Vir
ginia aud Carson--ostensibly to buy
furniture, but really to Jump" the
country. He got to Carson, bor-
rowed some money on the team, and
left for parts unknown. Mr.. Swa-
zey had to 60 to Carson and redeem
his team.
