4 Cyclopedio for 5000

Perhaps the most remarkable literary en- terprise of the time, is the publication of the Library of Unicersas Knosozedge, in 20 vol umes of nearly 1000 pages each, handsome ly bound, for 50 cents per volume, or $1O. .oO for the set It is reprint entire of the last (lS79) Edinburgh and London edition of Chambers Encyclopedia |: 4 Dictionary ot
 U'sSuersal K1sosoledge for the People, with very large additions upon topics of special in- terest to American readers. The amount of matter will somewhat exceed that of the Cy- csOpedSGs of Appleton or Johnson, though the price is but fraction of their cost. Volume one is to be ready early in September, and the others will follow at very short intervals. The remarkably low prices are accounted for by the method of sale, to the subscribers di- rect, saving them the large commission, often 50 or 60 per cent, paid to agents or dealers also, by the recent great reduction in the cost of making books, and by making very large sales. This certainly is work that the mil hons will appreciate. Special inducements are offered to early subscribers and to clubs.
 The same publishers have recently issued editions of Chons6er's Cyc1opedsa of EnolSs6 Lsserats.se, vols, $2.0O, formerly sold in 3 vols, for $9.O0; also, RollSns' Ancient lis tory, and JosephGs' Works, large type edi- tions, for $225 and $2.OO, and Smiti's Bible Dictson0ry,$1
 :, They also publish, in August and septem- Der, the Acme Ls5rary of Biography, 12 vols, and the Acme Lsbrary of Modem Clas- sses, vols, the former at 35 cents and the latter at 50 centsper vol. In these series are presented such authors as Carlyle, Macaulay Gibbon, Goldsmith, Lamartine Michelet, Thomas Moors, Walter Scott, and Fouque, and such subjects as Cesar Cromwell, Burns, Joan of Arc, Vicar of Wakefield, Picciola, Lalla Rookh, &c. Full catalogue of publica, tions, terms to clubs, &c., will be sent free on request by the publishers, the AMERICAN BOOK EXCHANGE, 55 HERMAN ST N. Y.

Northern Pacific.

From what We heard 10 Portland last
week, an attem BIT will be made to start
eastward on the line of the Northern
Pacific railroad during the coming sea-
son. Should such move be made,
there will be work for all who ask it in
the finest and healthiest country that
men ever saw for outdoor work.--In-
land Empire Feb. 8.
That it is possible to find resources to
build from the mouth of Snake river
toward the east is demonstrated from
the number of applications filed already
for the company's lands. Up to this
time there have been 2,567 separate ap
plicatons for lands in that locality. COY
eriug 363720 acres. Sold at $3.50 al
acre, the amount would be nearly ont
million dollars. But many tracts woulC
bring more. Since SO many applica
| tions have been fled already it is appar
ent that if construction of the roa
/ should begin the number would at one
be vastly increased, and the compan.
could realize within short time none
enough from lends alone to build a larg
section of the road. This is not founde
on conjecture. 1t is a positive demon
stration. - Oregonian FEB. I.

The Railroad Snle.

The Statesman heretofore has RETAINED
from placing full credenee in Thousand
toneued rumor" respecting the sale Of the
Walla Walla and Columbia river railroad
to the o. s. N. company. The full facts Of
the case are that no sale has been consum-
mated no transfer made, and no likelihood
OF either taking place. We can state that
a commanding interest Of the stock Of The
Walia WallA and Columbia river railroad
has been transferred to au association of
gentlemen whose, purposes are the future
extension OF railroads where and as the
requirements Of the country demand and
justify. 1t has been determined TO imme.
diately place in the field surveyors on the
Weston route, to determine the most prac
ticable route, for branch in that direction
and there is every probability, that, !
proper facilities and inducements ar
granted, the line will be extended to West
on this Summer, and completed in time 10
the removal Of the next crop .--Statesmd

Oh, the stories he told that could never

Made chiefs and subalterns as merry as
In the Florida war.
Who was brave as a lion, yet soft rs a
In the Florida war?
Who could swim the Suwanee when waters
were Wild
In the Florida war?
Who could harass Sam Jones till be ached

Ran a redskin whist laughing then weep
DER his groans,
In the Florida war?
Then chant him requiem In reverenttone'
In the Florida war;
Who when shattered and broken from

Could smile at grim death as he felt hi
