Of the ripest British ard European
scholarship, but being work of for
e;gn production it has been naturally
deficient in its adaptation to the wants
of American readers. In this new
form it is most thoroughly American
lied, and becomes ut once the largest
and most complete encyclopedia in the
field, at a mere fraction of the cost Of
any similar works which have preceded
it, containing about 10 per cent.
more matter than AppIeton's Encyclo-
pedia at less than one fifth its cost, and
and 90 per cent. more than Johns0n's
at little more than one fourth of its
cost.
The superlative quality and impor-
lance Of this great Encyclopedia, lies
especially in the fact that it is brought
within the reach Of every one who
aspires after knowledge and culture.
It is really library Of universal knowl-
edge, Every farmer and every me-
chanic owes it to himself and to his
children that such a cycIopedia shall
henceforward form q part of the outfit
of his home. To the intelligent man
in every walk of life a cyclopedia is
indispensable. It is issued in various
styles, in 10 large beautiful octave
volumes, varying in price from S15 for
the edition in cloth, to s25 for the
edition in sheep binding. Liberal dis
counts even from these extraordinary
prices are allowed to clubs, and the
publishers propose during the next
two months to distribute $4,000 cash
in special rewards to persons who for

screamed. johnson was arrested by the po-

volver and attempted to shoot the brute. The
weapon failed to go off, and was taken from

The Virginia readjusters are just
now greatly exercised about what is
to become of them. The Malone
Riddlebargain, by the provisions of
which they were to be invited to
walk i'll, e1, naasSe, and take seats at
the best table set by the Republi-
cans, was so grand a failure that they
want to know more definitely than
ever their prospect of any sort of a
feast. Mahone, OF course, can promise
them nothing, having quite lost
himself, and they have been raid
ing the Republicans at Washington,
for the last few days asking quar-
ter. The cause for the anxiety just
now is that the Readjuster state
convention meets to-day, and they
want to know ifRepHblican influence
can be bought On any plan of
conducting the canvass in Virginia.
The Virginia Republicans. still re-
fuse to "homologate {" with Readjus-
ters, and the leaders at W ashing
ton fear that any move may
drive more away from the
support of plan than may be
gained for it. The point which DE
Readjuster leaders have in view,
principally, is to ascertain precisely
what position the administration
will occupy as to the proposed fuf
sion of Republicans and Readjuster5
in the distribution of the all im1
portant offices. The President and
Secretary Blaine have both taken
very positive grounds against any
sort of coalition, which would in the
least impair the Republican organi-
zation of Virginia. They want that
organization kept intact, and the
straight-ont Republicans assure
them that any fnsiGp with the
Readjusters will split the Re
publican party. Senator Malone
has appealed to Col. Bob mgersoll
to help him in his desperate straight,
and now should the President yield,
under such pressure, Mr.. Garfield
will lose ground with. his, church
people, and, when all are fully
stirred up and turned out, the iden-
tity of Billy Malone may have be-
come one of the things that were.
