A cyOlOpedia for $1,000.

Perhaps the most remarkable liter
ary enterprise of the time, is The pub.
lcation of the Library Of Universal
Knowledge, in 20 volumes Of nearly
1000 pages each, handsomely bound,
for 90 cents per volume, or $1,000 for
the set. 1t is n reprint entire of the
last (1S79) Edinburg and Londen edi-
ton of Chambers Encyclopedia. A
Dictionary Of UniUersai Knololedge for
the People, with very large additions
upon topics ofspecial interest to Amer.
lean readers. The amount of matter
will somewhat exceed that of the Or.
ciopedieS Of Appleton or johnson,
though the price is but a fraction of
their cost. Volume ono 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 sub.
scribers direct, saving them the large
commission, often 30 or 60 per cent,
paid to agents or dealers; also, by tho
recent great reduction in the cost of
making books, and by making very
large sales. This certainly is work
that the millions will appreciate.
Special inducements are offered to
early subscribers and to clubs.
The same publishers have recently
issued editions of Chambers Cyclopedia
Of English Literature, vols, $500.
formerly sold in 2 vols, for 5000;
also, Rollins Ancient History, and 10.
sephus' acorkS, large type editions, for
S2.25 and $500, and Smiths Bible
Dictionary, S1.00.
They also publish, in August and
September, the Acme Library of Bioq.
rdphy, II vols, and the Acme Library
Of Modern Classics, 8 vols, the former
at 80 cents and the latter at 80 cents
per vol. Iu these series are presented
such authors as Carlyle, Macaulay,
Gibbon, Goldsmith, Lamutine,
Michelet, Thomas Moore, Walter
Scott, and Forque, and such subjects
Caesar, Cromwell, Burns, Joan of Arc,

GENERAL BUTLER remains some
where about Halifax, or St. John, on
board his pleasure yacht, recruiting
his health for the labnrs of the cam.
paigp, on which he has announced his
purpose to enter shortly. The die is
cast, and Massachusetts is buckling on
its armor once more for a contest with
the doughty General Butler. He has
notified his friends, as well as his op.
ponents, that he will enter the lists
again as a candidate for Governor, as
the champion of "the people which
means the Greenbackers, or Nation.
ais, or whatever they may call them.
selves this year. 1t is announced, but
by what authority is not stated, that
this year General Butler will not at
tempt to capture the conventions of
any of the old parties, but will organ.
ize a strictly Butler party, to which
he will invite Democrats, Republic
ans, and whoever else is in favor of a
"reformatory policy in the State ad-
ministration.' This would indicate
that 'Ireenbackism is not to be the
leading issue of his campaign. Just
what character Of reforms are needed
in the government of Massachusetts, is
not clear to outsiders, as that State
has the reputation of being about as
wisely, judiciously and we'll governed
as any in the Union. General Butler
ought to furnish a bill of particulars
in advance of the campaign Wilkes.
