We wish to call the attention of the readers
and thinkers of our city to this grand work. Nc
work of its kind stands higher in the estimation
of scholars than the Encyclopedia Britannica
It's great cost was the only hindrance to its gene
| raj use. American readers generally could not
afford to pay ten dollars per volume Tor twenty
one volumes. And until the work was reprinted
in the United States we were obliged to content
ourselves with its possession in few of our lead
ing libraries.
The work is now furnished in the American Re-
print at about one half its original cost and per-
feet in all its parts, every word cut illustration
map and plate being honestly and faithfully re-
produced.

Col. E. B. GRAY, Agent for reprint of ENCY-
CLoP EDIA BRITANNICA,
DEAR SIR: The opportunity you have given
us to compare the three editions Of t!1e ninth r
sue of the Encyclopedia Britain ,.y,,-viz., the
Original English Edition." the american Re
print" by J. NJ. Stoddart & Co., and what is call
| ed the 'Scribner-Han Edition''-has enabled us
to discover the following facts:
lie
inferior to the "Original in the etter-press, pa
per and binding.
2. 1t does not give the full text of the English
Edition" and in some instances the omissions in
text are such character as to teach error Es-
pecially is this seen in the article "Anatomy,
3. The plates do not agree with the Original
most Of them being smaller These reductions
in some cases being made, and the text describ-
ing the plates not being changed, a correct idea
of the size of the plants (see article ''Botany')
cannot be obtained.
f. The marginal references, in many instances,
are so bound into the backs Of the volumes as to
render them quite useless.
s. The maps vary from the "Original," show
ing that they are not "from the same" but from
quite inferior, plates. Notably is this the case
in the maps of Cornwall and Cumberland, in
which the fine-line engraving showing elevations
is entirely omitted.
6. So many serious defects occur in this "Scrib
ner-Hall Edition. that we do not hesitate to say
that the guaranty given that we are getting the
work, 'both in letter-press and illustrations, like
the English edition" is not being carried out in
good faith. In other words, we are not receiving
what we contracted for.
So far as we have examined the american
Reprint" published by ]. M. Stoddart Il Co., it
is faithful reproduction in subject-matter of
the original text maps and plates 1t is well
printed on excellent paper, is well bound and is
in better form for the shelves and ordinary hand
ling than quarto

4 STRANGE Tradition.

Among the Seminole Indians there is
a singular tradition regarding the white
mans origin and superiority. They say
when the Great Spirit made the earth he
also made three men, all of whom were
fair complexioned, and after making
them he led them to the margin of a
small lake, and babe them leap in and
wash. One obeyed, and came out purer
and fairer than before the second hest
tated a moment, during which time the
water, agitated by the first, had become
muddled, and when he bathed he came
out copper-colored; the third did not
leap until the water became black with
mud, and he came out with his own
color. Then the Great Spirit laid before
them three packages, and out Of pity for
his misfortune in color, gave the black
man the first choice. He took hold of
each of the packages, and, having felt the
weight, chose the heaviest; the copper
colored man chose the next heaviest,
leaving the white man the : lightest.
When the packages were open, the first
was found to contain spades, hoes and all
the implements of labor; the second UNI
wrapped hunting, fishing and warlike
apparatus; the third gave the white man
pens, ink and paper, the engine of the
mind-the means of mutual, mental i'm
proven1ent, the social link of humanity,
the Foundation Of the white mans super.
iority.

The Free Lance OF Chicago is RESPONSE
BILE for the following story: you can
not quite shut of personal gossip even in
a woman's convention. l sat in quiet
corner alongside of my friend the doctor
"A lady doctor, of course-and she told
me quite funny episode about a young
BRIDE who was sitting in one of the front
seats. She belongs to wealthy family,
and she married very nice young man,
and they had very grand wedding, and
the happy couple went off for week on
their bridal tour. They stopped at Hyde
Park, however, instead of proceeding to
St. Louis, and stealthlly drove back into
town. The festivities were still going on
at home, so the pair took refuge in the
barn till the guests had departed, which
which was near the daylight hour. Then
they stole into the house, and with the
connivance Of the friendly housekeepcr,
managed to secrete themselves for a
whole week in an upper room, stealing
out at night to some place Of amusement
Or to get square meal.''

The Twin Senators .

General Burnside, who is nearing sixty
years, stands erect and elegant in his six
feet Of faultless attire. Like old Uncle
Ned he has no hair on the top of his head
but enough in his branching Dundreary
whiskers to make amends for that upper
lack. In the winter chinchilla skull
cap adds to his natty appearance. His
face is clear, kind, Intelligent. rather than
strong. Among the senator's he takes his
place among the "good fellows rather
than among the men mighty in debate
Yet, upon occasion he is found 10 have
plenty of mind of his own, and no lack
of power to express it. He and his col
league, Senator Anthony, are called "thc
twins" Any day they may be seen arm
in-arm on the avenue, Juggling at thei,
constitutional walk to the Capitol.
Senator Anthony, who carries near a
dozen more years, lags and droops a lit
tie, but is borne on swiftly and surely
under the arm Of his expansive twin. An
thony has face full OF gentle kindness,
at one time called the handsomest in the
Senate. It is more than handsome still,
with its beaming gentleness, touched
now and softened, 10y venerable years.
Both of these men carry with them an
atmosphere and aspect OF worldlincss not
to be mistaken. If not quite bon vivants
in the extreme sense, you are sure that
they have thrlven long and we'll on excel
lent dinners OF the expensive sort; that
they are descending towards the shadows
with ap air of unmixcd bonhomlc delight
full to see, if not altogether praiseworthy
Lovers ofpleasure they must certainly
be to look just as they do, and yet above
it Il higher and finer aspect hovers, as il
in disqualification neither had ever bur.
led the finest honor, the most delicate
chlvalry of n>anhood.-Mrs. Nlem,nens, IN

One Of the most noted characters On tho
border twenty years ago, was old jim
Bridgcr, of Fort Bridgcr, in Utah On
one occasion he came to New York. lie
did not like the narrow down town streets
with high buildings on each side, and he
complained that he had once lost his way
in "Dey Street Canon.' and had been res
cued with difficulty by the police. He
liked the theatres, and expressed the ut
most delight at performance of the
"Midsummer Nights Dream.' lie had
no clear idea who Shakespeare was, but
conceived and developed the most extra.
VACANT admiration for him.
Returning to the Fort, he sold stock
and supplies to emigrants and other trav-
elers as III time past. One day man
wished to buy some oxen, and Jim said
he could have any except one yoke, that
he had made up his mind to keep at all
hazards. In the morning messenger
came to say that the man wanted this
yoke and none other.
"He can't have 'em, there's no use OF
talkin'," said Jim.
swell, he wants them, and is just wait
in for them,' said the messenger. "He's
a-settin' there readjn' 4 book that's called
Shakespeare
"Eh9' yelled Jim. jumping to his feet
ibid you say-Shakespcare? Here, -
you, give me my boots.''
He ran to the Carol.
"Stranger,' said he, ':iest gimme that
book an take them oxen.''
"Oh, no." said the man. II have only
brought the book to read on the way.
will give it to you.''
STRANGER said Jim, rcsolutely, "jcst
you take them oxen and gimme that
book And the man did so.
Jim hired reader at fifty dollars per
month, and listened to Shakespeare every
evening. All went we'll until one night,
as the reader came to the proposed muir
der of the princes in the Tower, Jim
sprang from his seat with blazing eyes,
and yelled in tones of thunder:
"Hold on there! Jest wait till I get
my rifle, and I'll shoot that---scoun-
drel.'
AS one Of his old "pards'' Justly re-
marked, more sincere compliment was
never paid to Shakespeare.

and her helpless little ones would have
leave their dearly loved home, and
ther beg or starve. Such was the state
things when, the very night before the
agents expected visit, Mrs. Callaghan
dreamed that her husband came to her,
and told her that she would find the 1if-
ty pounds pinned to the paper behind
the looking glass over the chimney piece
in the bedroom. He put it there for
safety he said, fearing the house might
be robbed, as it was known he brought
the money with HIM, and he thought it
would be safer there. The moment Mrs.
Callaghan awokc she went over to the
place mentioned by her husband in her
dream, and found the bank-note in the
exact position he had described!

NY LITTLE WOMAN.

A homely cottage, quaint End old,
Its thatch grown thick with green and gold,
And wind.sown grasses;
Unchanged it stands In sun ana rain,
And seldom through the quiet lane
Afootstep passes.
Yet here my little woman dwelt,
And saw the shrOud Of winter melt
From meads and fallows
And heard the yellow hammer sing
A tiny welcome to the spring
From budding sallows.
She saw the early morning sky
Blush with tender wild-rOsc dye
Above the larches;
And watched the crimson sunset burn
Behind the summer plumes OF fern
In woodland arches.
NY little woman, gone away
TO that far land which knows, they say,
No more sunsetting!
wonder il her gentle soul.
Securely resting st the goal,
Has learned forgettine?
My heart wakes up, and cries in vain;
She gave me love, gave her pain
While she was living;
knew not when her spirit fled.
But those who stood beside her said
She died forgiving
My dove has found . better reat,
And yet love the empty nest
She left neglected;
tread the very path she troa,
And ask, in her new home with God
Am expected?
II it were but the Fathers will
To let me know size loves me still.
This aching sorrow
Would turn to hope, and could say,
Perchance she whispers day by day.
"IIe comes tomorrow"

And high above the clover plain
The clouds arc rivcn;
Across the fields she used to krOW
The light breaks, and the wind signs low,

Making King Sing.

An Engllshman arrived at Paris some
days before the revolution OF July 1880.
He very eagerly sought to inspect the in
terror court OF Palais Royal, where the
prince Louis Philippe of Orleans, was re-.
ceiving deputatlons that came to HIM
from all parts of the country, villagers
with the mayor and drummer at their
head, brave fellows we'll furnished with
addresses and often excited by the ia
tigues of the road and the heat OF the
day.
The Eaglishman, on arriving, asked If
Louis Philippe had made his appearance
"Certainly," they answered him, che
is just retired.''
"Ah! am very sorry Tor that" he
said. III am come to Paris to see hem"
''Ncvcr mind" said one near him; II
Will show hiE, to you.'' So he shouted
out: "Vivc Louis Philippe! Vivc Ia
Charte!" and the multitude cried out the
same.
A window opened over balcony, the
prince appeared, humbly salutcd the
crowd, and retired.
"Ah! I am very glad indeed" said the
Englislman; but have heard some say
that one might see him with the trlcol-
ored flag, and surrounded by his family"
''That IS very easy" said the other;
"give me some sous, and he will come
forth.''
"1ndeed! here arc some, with great
pleasure" said the Englishman, handing
a frank to his neighbor.
Immediately a voice raised the coup
| lat ut,
ly repeated:
Soldier, with the tricolor flag,
Who from Orleans Dearest it, etc.
And the couplet did not cease to be
heard before the prince, surrounded by
his family and holding the three.col
ored flag, came forth to salute the
crowd.
There was silence for short time.
Then the complaisant neighbor, turning
toward the ear of the En- lishman, SAID
"Now shall make HIM sing? As it is
rather difficult matter, You will have 10
give me ten francs"
~ will do so willingly" said the Eng
lishman, assured by the success of the
former engagement.
Then the man, with the ten francs, ex.
erted himself and shouted with others ar.
ound HIM SO eagerly and Justify, "Vive
le roi? Vive Ia Charte' Ia Marselllaiser
that at the end of twenty minutes Louis
Philippe presented himself again before
large crowd exultlng with impatience
and joy.
The MarseiIlaise was Justify raised 10y
the people. The new king was about t.
retire from the balcony, but stopped in
the midst of the loud applause, and sang
with the people, marking time with his
teet.
The story relates that the king cxhibi
tor, addressing the Englishman, said t
HIM: ''Now IT you give me one hundred
francs he shall dance. But the other
thinking the show had gone far enough
went away.

Found BY a Dream.

John Callaghan was a wcll-to do farm
or, residing in the County Cork. He was
a sober, steady man, and had never been
known to be behindlland in paying his
rent. Though his farm was not very
large, still, by good management: he was
able to support his family comfortably
out OF it. There came one summer, how
ever, that the weather was so had that
nearly all poor Johns crops failed, 50
that when rcnt-dav came he had no mon
ey to meet 1t. There was only one thing
to he done under the circumstances-he
must sell some Of his stock. He regret.
ted much being obliged to do this; but
he had no other alternative, if he wished
to retain his farm, for the agent was a
very hard man, and would soon turn him
out it he did not pay punctually. So the
next fair-day John took two of his best
cows and some tat pigs to sell at the fair.
He spent all day there trying to get a
good price for them, and at last succeed
ed in doing so. He was very tired on his
return, and looked so ill that his wife re-
marked it to him. Assuring her that
it was nothing but overfatigue, and that
he would be all right in the morning, he
told her that he sold the cattle very
well having got fifty pounds for them,
which was enough for the half years
rent, and something over. He went to
bed Immediately after his supper, and
soon tell asleep. Next morning, howcv-
er, his wife wondered he did not answer
her when she spoke to him. At first she
thought he was in faint, and sent at
once for doctor, who pronounced him
dead. 1t was supposed that the anxious
state of his mind, and the over fatigue
he had gone through, had fastened his
death, his heart having been affected for
some time past.
Poor Mrs. Callaghan got such a shock
by this sad occurrence that at first she
did not think of looking for the mon
ey her husband said he had got at the
fair; but as the rent was due and accounts
came in for the funeral, she went to the
place where her husband usually kept
his money. Her search was fruitless; no
money was there. She looked in the
pockets of the clothes he had worn, and
in every press and drawer in her room
1t was all in vain. The fifty pounds
could not be found anywhere. Could he
have lost 1t on the way home? Perhaps
50. Or had he been robbed2 He certain
~ said he had got the money; but she
had not seen it with him. It may have
been only promised him by the parties
he sold to; but that was not likely. The
poor woman was in sad way, and spent
all her time in searching for the missing
money, and could think Of nothing else.
In a few days the agent was to call for
the rent; and if she could not pay, she
