The Right Hand Record.


The well known newspaper advertising
agent I'll. P Hubbard of New Haven, has is
sued 1.-THE Right Hand Record and Ready
Reference for Advertisers" quarto volum e
of 22S pages. The book is got up on novel
plan, and will be found unusually convenient
for reference by all who have occasion to adj
vertise extensively. One can see at a glance
any one of 5000 newspapers, their circulation,
cost, and the peculiar advantages each offers
to any special branch Of trade. The volume
gives in alphabetical order towns in each
state, with population, papers in each town
with circulation, and also blank spaces for re-
cording estimates, offers, Eacceptances or any
other data. AT the left side of each page are
printed the names of the papers (omitting ''co-
operatives or those using "patent outsides''
or "insides," these being classified by them
selves,) in each state, together with the circu-
lation of each, and the number of population
within its immediate influence. The right
side of the page is left blank for the making
of memorandum to be preserved. On this
blank the advertiser makes note opposite the
name of any paper or other publication, of the
price for an advertisement, either offered or
agreed upon as the case may be, the time it
should run, and other facts which are to guide
him in the future. 1t is an admirable "blue-
book" of information and Udtle naecune for
every advertiser to consult. Never before has
so much information of value to men of bust
ness been furnished in SO reliable form. Of
fers and contracts can be intelligently made
without the usual delay and bother incident to
making repeated inquiries, and the advertiser,
by brief consultation of the book, can see
the precise condition of his advertising, its
needs, its costs, with the same readiness that
he ascertains the state of his bank account by
looking at his check-book..

Around the World with Gen. Grant.

Around the World with Gen. Grant
A narrative of the visit of General U. S.
Grant, ex-President of the United States, to
various countries in Europe, Asia and Africa,
in 1877, 1878 and 1879. To which are added
certain conversations with Gen. Grant on
questions connected with American politics
and history.
The publishers agent for Cumberland and
Androscoggin counties, is now taking orders
in this city for the above publication. 1t will
be issued in serial form, consisting of twenty
parts each part containing sixty-eight pages,
illustrated with two choice full page engrav-
ings, and thirty-five smaller, though not less
meritorious products of the engraver's skill,
making, when complete, magnificent vol
ume of over 1900 pages, embellished with 800
rich illustrations.
The book has no political signifcance-is
not a laudation of General Grant, and has no
party tendency. The publishers were the first
to suggest the book, and publish it for its COM
mercial value alone. 1t will be a valuable
record of one of the most remarkable jour
neys round the world ever made. John Rus
sell Young, the author, who is with the party,
has been the London and Paris correspondent
OF the New York Herald for years, and is
everywhere conceded to be one of the most
brilliant writers ON the press He accompanies
the party by permission Of Mr.. Bennett, ON
the invitation of General Grant, and for the
express purpose of gathering material for this
book, added to his duties as correspondent of
the Herald. His opportunities for writing
this book have been ample. He faithfully
records not only what was said and done and
seen in this eventful tour, but using his pre-
rogative as a newspaper man, draws from the
several members of the party their opinions
and impressions, and thus makes the book
doubly interesting.
No book of travel has ever appeared that so
fully gives thorough insight into the politi-
cal and social conditions of the various gov
ernments of the world, and the work will con-
tain many facts and many descriptions of
scenes never before publish ed.

The post office and store at the camp grounds

A Sabbath School will be started at the
camp grounds next Sabbath, and it is expected
there will be preaching on the grounds

Young America on a Cruise.

''Isay, mister, where's the Officer" asked a
ragged urchin about 10 years old of an elderly
gentleman on Congress street, Saturday.
coffee, what ofice?''
"Blessed if I know! It's where Teller gets
his letters!''
"Oh! yes, understand. Come with me my
son; am going near there and will show you
where it is" And they started together for the
desired ''office." On the way thither the old
gentleman politely refused the lads offer
"Have chaw of fine cut, Judge?"-and then
addressed the boy after the following fashion,
'Well, my lad, I'm sorry you indulge in the
vile habit of using tobacco; you appear be too
smart a boy for that. How old are you?
Where do you live? What is your name?"
and various other questions. The boy showed
his hands deep into his trousers pockets, chew
ed hard at his fine cut moment, then with
knowing look at his interrogation replied:
oval, squire, my name is (Bill Jones for
short) and L live bout fifty OF sixty miles down
the coast I've jest come up here to see
thing or two. I've chawed terbarker good
many years. I tell yer I've got the boss boat;
she's 'choked smart on the water if she is
homely! I'm going to start for home today;
shall run her all day and night know the
wind is blowing stiff but I'll just hist her sail
half way up and then you bet, she'll go like
Erebus! can sail her, too, and don't you
think can't!''
AT this point in the conversation the post
Office was reached, and after parting word to
the urchin the old gent started off, when he
was stopped by the boy, who remarked:
"Say, squire, wait till get my letter, then
want you to go down to my boat with me and
I'll treat. I've got two gallons of as good stuff
as ever slid down yer throat! and all the cigars
you want to smoke,-so come down, will yer?'
The old gentleman however, concluded he
was getting into rather deep water, and with
an attempt at good advice to the forward
youth-which he objected to with double
oath-he said good bye and started off up Mid
die street; musing upon the ''signs of the
times" as indicated by this sprig of Young
