A Cyclopedia for SlO.

Perhaps the most remarkable literary
enterprise of the time Is the publication
of the Library of Universal knowledge,
in 20 volumes of nearly 1000 pages each,
handsomely bound, for SO cents per vol
ume, or $40 for the set. 1t is reprint
entire of the last QS79) Edinburgh and
London edition of Chambers Encyclope-
dia: A Dictionary of Universal Knowl-
edge for the People, with very large ad-
ditions upon topics of special interest 10
American readers. The amount Of mat
ter will somewhat exceed that of the Cy-
clopedias 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 re-
marksbly low prices are accounted for
by the method Of sale, to the subscribers
direct, saving them the large commission
often so or 60 per cent. paid to agents
or dealers; also, by the recent great re-
duction in the cost of making books,
and by making very large sales. This
certainly is q work that the millions will
appreciate. Special inducements are
offered to early subscribers and to clubs.

AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of century, and
have obtained n worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eascd action in the several assimila-
tive organs of the body, and are so
composed that distractions within
their range can rarely withstand or
cvade them. Not only do they cure
3. the everyday complaints Of every
ibody, but also formidable and danger
'ous diseases that have baiiied the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, ut the same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. By their aperient action
they grippe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not inilamed. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
it from the clements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
I'm all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any deleteriouS drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

The kansas Meteor.

The report from Nemeha county, Kan, OF
the death OF David Meisentlater, a Stockman,
by being struck by a falling meteor, first came
through the Tribune, published at Seneca, the
county seat, and has since been confirmed by a
gentleman from that place, who says that there
was no doubt about the meteor. Meisentlater
was well known, and his death is acknowledged
to have been caused as stated. 1t took place on
the morning Of December r. about eight
O'Clock, and the sky at that time was perfectly
clear. 1t was very cold, and Meisentlater had
gone from his house to pasture about five
hundred yards distant to drive up some cattle.
He was walking toward the barn on his return,
and While standing about twenty feet from the
trunk OF maple tree was killed. The
aerolite which caused his death came from an
eaSterly direction, ard first struck the tree
trunk, which caused it to glance slightly, and
In its fight it cut the upper branches OF the
maple and entered MeiSentlaterS body from
below the right shoulder, coming out at the
left hip and then partially burying itself in the
frozen ground. Its course was undoubtedly
changed by contact With the tree, as could be
seen by the manner in which the latter was
spltnteled The deadly missile is said to be
about as large as an ordinary mans head and
egg-shaped and rough, as If taken from q hot
furnace and cooled in its flight through space
1t reSembled in appearance iron taken from q
blast furnace and cooled by rolling in sand. and
is composed Of iron pyrites. 1t was perfectly
cool when discovered, about half an hour after
its fall, and lay not more than two feet below
the surface OF the ground.
