An interviewer asked Mr.. William II.
the head OF the great publish
ing house in New York, what was the
best selling book published by his firm.
Ills answer was "Webster's Speller,"
and ii has The ia. gest sale of any book in
the world except the Bible. We sell a
million copies year" Upon the intey
viewer expressing his Rstonishmelt al
the statement, Mr. Appleton addedi
Yes, and we have been selling at that
rate for forty years. The year following
the er.sncipation of slaves, we sold

South thought 1t only necessary 10 HAYS

Franklin writing 10 him 1888:
Permit me TO make one observation
that imagine may regard your interest.
1t is that your Spelling Book is misera-

many places to be scarcely legible and
on wre1eked paper. If this is not attend
ed to, and new one lately advertised
as coming out should be preferable In
these respects, it may hurt the sale of

A Visit to the Garden of Eden.

4 couple Of hours ride over a most
wretched bride path, up and down rug
ged mountain passes, brought us 10 this
charming oasis called "Ehden." The
Arabs assured us this spot was the real
Garden Of Eden, and, Judging from the
intense curiosity they evinced concern
ing ourselves and our traps, we had no
difficulty in believing this to be the gar
den where our first mother Eve dwelt
ere she grew too fond Of apples.
This Eden is situated in pretty lit
tie valley in the heart of the mountains,
at an elevation Of some : ,0CG feet above
the level Of the sea. Water is album
dant here and consequently everything
is green and fruit is plenty. The Val
ley Is full of vineyards, with pomegran-
ates and ifs trees, and olive and null
berry plantations, and overlapping the
whole can he seen some immense wal
nut tress that look as old as the world.
As | am writing these lines, sitting
on a camp-stool in front Of my tent,
can see the whole population Of Eden
| collected round our camp staring az rs.
Young ard aiG, men, women and chill
dren are pressing forward to have a good

| dren Of Eve have climbed up the trees
to have the luxury Of birds-eye view
of our camp. Long before we reached
our camping ground the news had been
brought that caravan Of people from
beyond the mountains, and perhaps, oh
wonder. from beyond the seq, was
coming to camp intheir cz,-is. The news
spread like wild-G.re among the tribe,
and there was a general rush for the

for summer wraps of various shapes.
1t comes in round capes of different
depths perhaps only covering the should

and recall the Talma capes Of the last
generation.
WHITE DRESSES Short white dresses
are the most elegant costumes of the sea-
son, and are worn with or without bon
nets at the most fashionable entertain
ments. White satin surah is the mate
rial most used, and in some instances this

net, and has founces Of Spanish lace,

The only lace NANTES that finds great

lace mantles are worn, the former with

With the Melted Chinese fringe, are again
restored to favor, and are worn with
black, white or colored toilets for after

resorts. These cost only SO or 81, and
have suddenly become the fashion. Pale
hlge or yellow Grape fichus are also used.
HAIR sG.-Both low and high
coiffures are worn, with preference for
the former, but the style depends en-

the hair is dressed low behind and very

The security market.

The, activity In the security market con-
tinues, and yesterday witnessed arenewal of
the demand for all good stos ks and bonds.
On the part OF Investors the demand was
principally for State bonds, and
the longer the dates the more
they are sought after, while the
railroad stocks were not allowed to remain
dormant by either speculation or surplus
capital seeking investment. Central was
naturally the magnet. for It was in this par
ticular stock that the greatest activity as
we'll as improvement was noticeable.
A feature Of the weeks business liz this
stock was the demand for 1t from Baltimore
and other large cities, giving evidence that
there is considerable Northern capital seek
ing investment, and Is gradually fading its
way down here, and per consequence an at
tractiVe stock like Contra! could not pass
unnoticed. In fact, this class Of property
is more sought after than small interest
paying bond. So far as the Central Railroad is
concerned there is no doubt that the com
pany is earning largely and doing very
profitable business, and the general sntici-
pations Of all are that It viii equal. If II docs
not surpass, the enormous business OF last
spring and summer. Holding this fact in
view, investors and spectators are so bull
ish ia ifs behalf that prices were paid yes
teTdsy for the stock not before seen In
years, viz: 110s< with every evidence of its
going much higher to day, IS the prospects
SAVIOR Of a gilt edge dividend for the COM
ing season.
The transactions for the past week foot
up between SIX and seven Thousand shares,
and the week closes with prices very strong
and with very light offerings Ia both stocks
and bonds.

brutal treatment of a child.

Last evening about hslf-past six O'Clock
the neighborhood Of State and Whitaker
streets was startled by the shrieks OF a
child that was IN evident suffering. Inquiry
as to the cause resulted in the discovery
that a little colored boy, aged about
five years, was being severely aud brutslly
whipped by some one living on Brouohton
street lane, In the rear of No. l58 State
street. The screams and gToans Of the un-
fortunate victim of this brutality could be
heard a distance of two blocks, and the
windows Of nearly every house in the vi
cinity we're raised by occupants, anxious and
curious to know the cause OF euch heart
rending shrieks. When the facts were
known there was the bitterest cenuDclatiOn
heard on all sides.
There is Society fer the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Children in this city, and the facts
of this case, as reported to US, would seem
to demand an investigation on the part Of
the officers. Ii Is to be hoped that some
steps viii be taken 10 that end.
