York: |. X. FUNK. 1882.
Initiating the man Who said he knew that
Lord TnuRlow was hypocrite because
nobodv could be as wise as his lordship
looked, we might say that the title-page OF
this book Is misleading, because no BOOK
could contain all that the title-pagc prom
ises. And get it docs contain WITHIN
thousand pages an astonishing quantity oil
matter, useful to editors especially, but also
10 almost all other classes OF persons. III
will no doubt enable us 10 answer many
questions. The book is recommended ny
the Christian Rev;etr, the New York Mdd,
and the New York Times. The JouTno' o.
Commerce also speaks good word Tor H.
And n this last-named paper is the best
qualified Of all journals to speak authorita-
lively on the subject, we copy its notice;
"NessYs. I. X. Funk g. Co. have sent US
an advance copy OF their encyclopaedia oil
Practical Quotations, English and Latin'
with a Copious Appendix The work has
been compiled by Mr. j. X. Hoyt, VINO was
FOR many years managing editor OF that eX-
cellent newspaper the Newark Daily al
re,tiser. and Miss Anna i. Ward, said
N he n lady OF taste and culture. such
a compilation cannot fail TO be highly
useful. Those who, like ourselves, nave
spent weary days in hunting lor
familiar quotations, VIII heartily appre-
cia,e the work, calculated, a. 1t ~. 10
ablfeyiatc such wearisome iabors; whllc
those who wish pleasant companion Ior
leisure hour will find ample entertainment
in its crowded pages. 1t has very copll-
ous index, on which vast amount OF WORK
has been expended to render the contents
OF the book available at once to The busy
student. II IL whole library in Itself,
and those whose means will not allow them
TO accumulate many books, or who have
not time TO consult them in detail, viii find
This condensed summary OF so many nota-
bic things worthy Of record most valua-
bic treasure"
We find the old line, Consistency's
level" quoted I'm this book as part OF
poep which was written in order to bring
in the line, thiS line being at the Cine as
well known o. now. 1t is true the word
" Doubted" is added at the end; but this
word is by no means strong enough.

A GOOD THING WORTH PRESENTING
During the late gubernatOral canvass the
good feeling existing between Colonel Cam
eron and Major Daniel excited general adj
miratiOn. on a certain occasion, some
point arising rs to the order OF debate, and
Major Daniel having written rather ccre-
monious note to Colonel Cameron concern
ing it, the latter took up his hat and walked
over to the place where Major Daniel and
his friends were assembled. On entering
he addressed Major Daniel quite Familiarity,
and was received with equal fricndlinesS.
Some bvstander observed that such intima-
CIV between rivals was quite astounding.
Major Daniel at once said, rather conscious
": "Oh, yes; ii is the lion and the lamb
living down together" Quick rs thought
came Cameron's answer " Well. John, ola
boy, you may do the lynn; III do the

Aiken's Reputation as a Sanitary
Resort. -lnotIfer Hotel Wanted.

A. Northern gentleman, while in
or office the other day, stated that
in his opinion there was room' lp
Aiken for several hotels 2as large as
the Highland Park, and that proba-
BY the next one built would be ar.
ranged to accommodate one thousand
guests. We were glad to hear him
speak so enthusiastically OF cur cli-
nate, of our town a.d tue kindness
and hospitality. Of cur People, and
glad to hear Aiken 8 future prospects.
pictured in such glowing colors.
1t is true that a good climate, free
from malarial influences and sutfi-
GENTLY dry and .bracing to reetore
health to the enfeebled invalid, is an
absolute essential, but yet it ID an un-
Questionable fact that. the hotel ac.
commodation of q health resort. IS
such an important factor IN its pros,
perity, that any attempt to increase
what we now have should be eucour.
aged in every way possible. The
more hotels we. have the more peo-
pie will come here. What we want
is first class hotel, capable OF accom-
modating at least FIVE hundred guests
in aumptuous style, with a FIST class
man at its head.
Our northern friend stated that
there would not be the slightest diff
fculty in raising the necessary capl.
tai. lie predicted, however, that
less than five years would elapse be-
fore important additions wonld be
made to the hotel accommodations o.,
Aiken.
The reputation Of Aiken as ma
tional sanitary resort IS annually on
the increase. Its superiority. oyer
Florida is sell evident from the fact
that many Of those who leave here in
a convalescent condition. return de-
bilitated from .malarial. fever. The
hotel accommodations OF. Florida. are
ample and OF the most sumFtuous or 4
der. Let the same facilities be es-
tablished in Aiken, and .he will dis
tauce all competitors -Aiken Re-
