The Bonanza of Boys Books. rs
200 ILLUSTRATIONS.
Drifting Round The Word--A Boy's
Adventures BY Sea and Land.

BY Capt. Charles w. Hall, authol
of "The Great Bonanza "Adrift il
the Ice Fields" &c. Svo, illuminat
ed sides, s1.5O; cloth. 90. Lee &
Shepard, Publishers, Boston.
A book OF mammoth proportions
profusely illustrated. So many books
have been written upon the usual
routes of European and Asiatic trav
ell that it is difficult now to excite
the interest Of young readers with
out going out of the beaten track.
The adventures related in this vol.
ulne are novel and picturesque, and
they follow comparative new
course. The hero ships OH Cape
Ann schooner, bound to Greenland,
isshipwrecked on the coast of Labra-
dor, reaches Iceland, then passes
through Scotland. England, France,
Holland, Russia, Asia, and afterward
crosses Siberia, sails for Alaska, and
from thence to San Francisco, from
there reaching home overland, after
many strange experiences of Sibe-
rian, Tartar, Chinese and Indian
life. In this long journey, devious
and broken by various accidents,
the reader is introduced to new and
striking scenery, and to peoples lit.
tie known and seldom described in
literature. The author has
not aimed to produce sensational
effects, but rather to furnish true
pictures of actual things, and so
supply knowledge as well as to min.
lster to the pleasures of the immagi.
nation. It is a book all young
readers will be pleased with, and so
instructive that parents and guard.
ans will favor its introduction
among the young folks.

THE SOUTHERN CuLTIyAToR.-

The SOUTHERN CULTIvAToR.-
The July number Of the Southern
Cultivator comes promptly to hand
this month, and as usual is full of in
teresting reading for the farmers
and their families. Messrs. Jas. P.
Harrison 6 Co., the publishers, issue
many books and periodicals from
their presses, but nothing is sent out
that does them more credit than this
splendid Agricultural monthly
Every number is beautifully illus
trated with pictures Of the leading
men OF our times, fine thoroughbred
cattle and the most improved farm
implements. From the many pages
devoted to communications from
Southern farmers, we would Judge
that the Cultivator is the especial
medium which they employ for the
interchange of their ideas. And so
it should be. It is Southern pub
LEGATION and Southern farmers should
recognize it as their paper. The
original communications are a
special feature of the Cultivator.

Salt, says the Raleigh Observer,
is one of the necessaries of life. II
is good for man and beast Ii there
is one article of commerce that We
cannot do without, it is salt A com
modify SO extensively used and so es-
sential for each household in the land
should be made cheap instead OF
dear. But the government, under
Republican rule, tries to make it dear.
1t taxes salt. That is, taxes some salt.
It does not tax the salt which North
ern fshmongers use in putting up
their salt fish, but it taxes the salt
our farmers use in saving their bacon.
Salt to be used in packing Northern
fish comes in free of tax, but salt for
the South, for the people who live on
farms and use it in their households,
must pay a duty. The Republican
tariff SO says.
The cost Of salt abroad is about 80
cents 100 pounds. The tariff i'm
poses tax OF IL cents 100 pounds.
That makes the price 40 cents a 100
pounds, not counting freight, insur-
ance, handling, &C., &c. Because of
the great cost incident to transport
ing and handling salt, the article
commands much higher price, say
80 cents for 100 pounds from the
importers But of this at least Is
cents is due to the tariff. Were it
not for the tax salt would be about
3Oeents per sack of 200 pounds cheap
er than it is. Whenever a farmer
then buys a sack of salt he pays
about 80 cents more than he other
wise would because of the tariff. The
entire revenue derived from salt is
only about $3.50, 900. The tax comes
out OF the people. The Republicans
In Congress do not propose to take
that tax of, but they propose to take
the tax off of perfumery, hair oil, CO.
logne, pomades, &c., and leave the
people to pay a tax on this house. |
hold article. Are they the friends |
Of the people9 In their platform |
these perfumery Republicans declare |
that they favor the tariff.

The Cry against Bonrbonism in
this state is growing fainter every
day. The indicator, Clarion and
other papers have closed their
mouths on the subject. The people
saw that it was a lot of foolish talk
by politicians who had some merce-
nary object in view and were trying
to create a stampede.
The great work for the Bourbons
(true Democrats) now is to clean
the party out. AT the next state
election we expect to see great
fight between the honest Democrats
and the New Orleans ring masters
who will be backed by the lottery
company, with a large sprinkling of
corrupt politicians from the country
parishes. Then will be the time for
wise talk and wiser actions. The
watchword for the next campaign
must be reform-reform within the
party-and this reform can only be
carried on first by destroying the
lottery monopoly-that monopoly
which uses its baneful influences in
bribing and controlling the govern.
ment and corrupting public men
for bad purposes.
And last but not least, a thorough
renovation of the legislature. Our
state needs reforming-but let the
reform be made in the Democratic
party, which can be done.-EWeb-
ster Tribune.

by Theodore T. Munger, containing
nine brief chapters ON subjects
specially appropriate to the consid
Grafton of ambitious, intelligent
promising young men, such topics as
Purpose, Friends, Manners, Thrift.
Reading, Amusements. This is not
a mere volume Of good advice, such
as those who need it will be sure to
avoid, but thoughtful, suggestive,
reasonable view of some very i'm
portant practical points in the his.
tory of every man who is about to
take bis position in the world as a
responsible person. Though there
may be differences of opinion as to
certain details, the spirit of these
chapters is true and elevating and
their usefulness is secured by an
agreeable and tactful style, not at
all common in the communication of
profitable suggestions.
The CHILDREN's Book, edited
by Horace q. Scudder (Houghton,
Mifflin & Co., Boston) is the result
OF the earnest endeayor of an ap
preciative man, thoroughly in sym.
pathy with the tastes, longings, and
moods of children, to present in one
volume the cream of the famous
fables and wonder stories of all ages
and nations. This takes the best of
the old fables; the best of the stories
of the Cinderella character; selec-
tons from the Arabian Nights, in
Guiding Aladdin and Sinbad the
Sailor; Swift's "Voyages to Lilliput;"
the Travels of Baron Munchausen;
selections from the old Greek and
Eastern mythicallegends and stories;
collections of fairy stories and poems
that have become popular among
and selections from the
known the world over as
favorites.
'The Children's Book, p is, in short,
a library of fable, fairy story, legend
and myth, including in one volume
all that child ought to read of that |
sort of literature. Presented in this |
shape, carefully edited as they are,
the wonder stories and fables are |
open to mono of the objections urged |
against unabridged editionsof Guilt

the handsomest books published.-
