BOOKS RECEIVED.

STORIES OF THE OLD DOMINION. By John Esten
Cooke. New York: Harper & Bros 1879
We have examined this book with care and
have been perfectly charmed with it. 1t is just
what we wanted for our Virginia boys and girls
especially the former Mr. Cooke tells his
stories we'll and we tested his ability to interest
the young people by putting this book in the
hands of boy, who read it with great avidity.
The volume opens with Captain John Smiths
pre-Virginian adventures, and then follows his
career on the banks of the James In the second
chapter we are told why Virginia was called
the Old Dominion" Then follows Bacon's Re
belion-The knights of the Golden Horseshoe
the early life of Washington, and Braddock's
Defeat-Point Pleasant and General Andrew
Lewis-Patrick Henry, "the Man of the People"
Thomas Jefferson, the Pen of the Revolution"
"A Ball at the Capitol" Elizabeth Zane
The Fate of Colonel Rogers-John Marshall the
Chief Justice-Rosewan (the seat of the Pages
and Selim the Algerine-Morgan the Thunder
boil" etc. The book is beautifully gotten up
and illustrated with many pictures. 1t ought to
be in the hands of every boy in Virginia and
we hope the Board of Education will at once Ii
cense it so that it can be introduced into our
public schools We call the attention of Super
intendent Peay and the principals of our city
schools to it.

THE EdnJurgb Reriao (July No.
(as alluded to elsewhere) pronounces
Judgment on Evolution as follows:
Apart from all fanciful speculation,
we feel no hesitation in asserting that
the conclusion viii be if the subject
is dealt with as a question of rational in
duction, founded upon the evidence of
facts that at which we ourselves have
long since arrived, viz: that development
by evolution is merely a rhetorical ex-
preston, form of words, and nothing
more.
The Evolutionists are only little loud
that is all. The thing is evidently los
ing ground. Any scientific man who as
serts that there is a trace of evidence that
Man has been developed from the lower
animals, simply declares what he knows
to be false. There is not the shade Of the
shadow of a solitary fact looking in that
direction Man appears on earth clean
cut and complete as he is to-day. And
when this is gotten over, it will be time
enough to consider Prot. Haeckels other

GIVE US A PEOPLES DAY.

The beauties of the present Exposition
have been generally seen and enjoyed by
both citizen and stranger who, however
inclined to be critical or censorious, are
compelled to acknowledge that they have
received their moneys worth of enjoy
ment, instruction and entertainment.
And yet it is we'll for us in the midst of
our self-congratulations toremomber that
the times have been hard, working peo-
pie have been for weary months with little
employment, some even without any at
all, so that the business prosperity that at
last has sprung up like refreshing breeze
in q desert solitude finds many in
dustrious families not only without
ready money, but with debts that weigh
so heavily that their present earnings are
all absorbed as fast as earned. Of this
class there are not a few in this great
city, that the wonders of mechanical in
vention, the matchless creations of art,
the pictures and statuary and the flowers
whose fragrance has delighted our senses
while their beauty has charmed the eye;
the music of the band and of the pianos,
and the pealing of the magnificent Or
gan in the Music Hall are all as yelled
and hidden mysteries. Is it not there
fore due to these, and possibly others of
the people who have already seen but
would like perhaps to look again upon the
wonders of this wonderful show that a day
be set apart to be called the Peoples Day,
when admission shall be reduced to
a nominal price of, say, 10 cents, and
thus permit its being visited by all, even
the humblest of our citizens? As Thurs
day is set apart as Cincinnati Day, fol
which extensive preparations have been
made, and grand floral display is to be
given us, it would be only fitting thai
the show hold ove.' to, say, Monday next
and that the proceeds of this one day, to
the extent of not less than $3.50, be divi-
ded into four, five or six premiums, as
may be deemed fitting, andhave superb
| floral show, that the People may see and
enjoy the Exposition at its best Gentle.
men of the Exposition Board, give us a
Peoples Day, and let the wonderful
show end with bumper that shall cause
it to be marked by the people in future
years as one of the great days in the his
tory of Cincinnati.

Several of our own florists, and number
from other cities were unable to procure
space for a display. Moreover, with a
building such as is suggested, we might
have a museum of rare plants similar in
character to the Government gardens of
Washington and greatly more interesting
than tn Sc which appear to be run in
large part to supply flowers for the fami-
lies and favorites of members of Congress,
but open all the year round to citizens
and strangers. During the Exposition
space could be afforded if the thing were
planned right to allow of horticultural
display of many times the extent and
greatly more complete than the present
one, or than any one can be in the present
restricted quarters. By all means there,
fore let us have the Crystal Palace in
the park. Where is the man with the
enchanter's golden wand to conjure it
into being?

SHALL WE HAVE A CRYSTAL PALACE.

We spoke recently of the plan that
has for few days been much discussed
by horticulturists and florists of this
city and vicinity, of building palace Of
glass in Washington Park on the general
plan of the English Crystal Palace at
Sydenham, which, as our readers gen.
orally are aware, is the old London
Worlds Fair building, planned by
Sir Joseph Paxton, and removed to its
present site at Sydenham for permanent
preservation. This is now among the
foremost of London attractions to the
tourist Here are held bazars of the
productions of different nationalities
which are sold to the traveller, but its
chief interest is its fine collection
of rare plants from all parts of the world.
Here is a noble specimen of the Victo-
ria Regia growing in huge tank of
water palms and tropical plants in end
less variety. Of course crystal palace
of a size such as is suggested would cost
nice sum of money, but our Music
Hall and Exposition annexes found their
Reuben Springer, and why may not our
palace spoken of find another gentleman
of wealth to link his name with an
added feature in furtherance of our great
Exposition attractions? The project, if
carried out, would, of course, be
but an amplifcation of the Expo
sition and Music Hall idea, and during
future Expositions might be united
across the street with the present hall by
an ornamental arch in the style of the
old one that formerly led to the Ar'
Gallery in the park. The building itsell
if built would be never ending source
of delight and pride to Cincinnati, anc
weld new link in her golden chain o.
triumphs in art and industry. Wher
