Appleton's American Cycloped1a.

A work of the magnitude of the American
Cyclopedia should be as perfect as possible in
every respect, and the publishers seem deter
mined to spare no pains or expense to make
this great work merit the high reputation
which it has for so many years maintained.
The greatest skill and care has been exercised
in its preparation by having each subject treat
ed by the scholar or specialist who knew most
about it. Moreover, the editors and staff of
reviewers maintain a constant supervision
over the work to keep it fully abreast with the
times and to eliminate from its pages every
error which may be foand to exist. The latest
issue bears the imprint, "Second Edition,
Revised 1S79," into which has been incorpor-
ated much information of later date than
The previous editions, and an index has also
been provided, greatly facilitating the use of
the volumes for reference.
Many persons have been misled by the ad-
vertisements of certain second hand book
dealers and several irresponsible parties, who
have palmed off old and shelf-worn sets of
this work upon customers by representing
them as the latest editions. The following
letter from Hon. Frederic Robie of Gorham is
a case in point:
A short time since 1 purchased a copy Of
Appleton's Cyclopadia edition of 1873, second
hand) at a bookstore in Boston, on the repre-
sentation that it was the latest edition, but
having an opportunity soon after to compare
my purchase with the Second Edition Revised,
/ found the latter to be much improved and
superior in many important particulars to the
former, and have consequently made an ex-
change at considerable expense, preferring to
own the latest edition rather than to buy the
supplemental volumes necessary to bring the
older edition up to date. L now find the work
satisfactory in every respect and can confident
ly recommend it as an invaluable treasury Of
knowledge for any family.
FREDERICK RoBIE
Gorham, Me-, April 9, 1880
Among the hundreds of testimonials to the
excellence of the work we select the fol-
lowing from Rev. Thomas Hill, D. D., L. D.,
ex-President OF Harvard College:
contributed numerous articles to the first
edition of Appletons American Cyclopadia,
and highly prize the work. The new edition
is, in many respects, very much superior to the
first; the articles are much better balanced
in their length and minuteneSS according to
their importance, and have undergone much
more careful and thorough revision than in the
first edition; so that it is well selected libra
ry in itself.
From Rev. DIR. Porter, President of Yale
College:
This may certify that L have been accus-
toned to consult Appletons' American Cyclic
pBdia for many years, and have uniformly
been satisfied with the Information which L
have found it to contain.
The changes and additions in the last edi-
tion add greatly to its value, and 1 can conf
IDENTIFY recommend it as an excellent work.

President of Yale College

tions. With an Incident by Way Of IL
luStration.

luSCrdUlOu.
The New York Times advocates an impor-
tant reform in the matter of taking up church
collections 1t is to grant to every contributor
the right of taking change out of the plate.
AS is we'll known, this is at present impossible,
and whatever sum is now placed on the plate,
must remain there, Could a man put in, say
% cents, and take out Is, he would never be
compelled to choose between giving too
much or giving nothing at all. In
illustration of the possible evil effects
of the present practice of giving no change,
the Times tells the following little story:
'Black Run, as any map may fail to show, is
situated in the Colorado mining district, and
the Baptist church is presided over by an able,
athletic preacher. On the fourth Sunday in
February last, a collection was taken up for
the Franz Josef land mission, and the plate
was passed around by one of the deacons.
There was present miner from Red Gulch,
who was anxious, as he phrased it, to put up.
for the Franz Josef heathen, but who had no
coin smaller than $50 gold piece. When the
plate reached him, he inquired in a low tone,
How much is the ante?' The deacon told
him that ne cOulu contribute whatever he
chose Them replied the ingenious miner,
Ill chip in dollar, and thereupon he put in
his $40 gold piece and undertook to withdraw
$40. This the deacon objected to, on the
ground that no change was given at that estab-
lishment. A struggle ensued, in the course of
which the plate was upset, and the entire con-
gregation rushed to pick up the scattered mon
ey. Had it not been for the presence of mind
of the presiding minister, the entire amount
already collected would have been absorbed by
reckless persons eager to jump the deacon's
claim'-as the local papers substantially ex-
press it. The minister, fortunately. happened
TO be an old Californian, who thoroughly
understood the true way of dealing with
Colorado assembly. Drawing heavy re-
volver and leaning it on the edge Of the
pulpit he demanded order in a stento-
rian voice, The brethren he remarked,
will please take notice that have
got the drop on them, and any BROTH
er who declines TO go to his seat or who
touches any of that money, will have Il funeral
at his house tomorrow at o'clock p. IN. Our
mining friend Red Gulch will please let go the
deacon's necktie, or he is dead man. This
address, together with the minister's known
reputation as pistol shot, instantly restored
order, and the deacon picking up the scattered
money, including the $40 gold piece, resumed
the collection, and the service proceeded with
out further interruption"
