Voorhees,, the man who was selected as
AN anti-Harris delegate, but who changed
his mind on the way to the convention. as

Ewes Daughters.
Or Common Sense for Maid, Wife
aud Mother" by Marion Harland, the
popular author OF" Common Sense in the
Household" is the title of new book
from the press of Anderson & Allen, New
York City. 1t is a book for women. To
them 1t abounds in lessons of value. It
should be included in the reading of
every family in the land. We invite
your attention to their advertisement in
another column.
JUDGE ALBION W. ToURaEE.
Judge Tourgee, the justly celebrated
author and editor of the popular maya
zine, "0ur Continent" says; Marion
Harland's new book, Ewes Daughters,
is, perhaps, the most remarkable work of
the kind ever published, The graceful
and sympathetic writer, whose hand has
already done SO much to tighten the
labors and brighten the lives of her sis
ters, in these pages admits every Amer
lean mother, daughter and wife to series
of confidential talks, every word of which
is instinct with oandor, good sense, deli
cacy and sincerity. No man can read it
without gathering from its pages new
lesson of tenderness and sympathy for the
yoke-fellow of his life no mother with
out yearning to instil its truths into the
tender heart of her daughter, and no
daughter without learning to honor with
a still tenderer devotion the mother who
has died to the world that she might live
in it. The author recognizes fully the
fact that the writers of all such works
have forgotten heretofore, that every new
generation faces new duties, exists under
new conditions, aud that yesterday s
guide-books are only half-reliable charts
of to-morrow's journey. She speaks to
the girl, the wife, the mother of to-day,
and not one of them should fail to read
her words. One can readily imagine the
father giving the volume to his budding
daughter with kiss, and the daughter
thanking him with bright eyes when she
has perused its pages. Marion Harland
leads every reader to think upon the most
important of all earthly subjects, and in
fashion that is sure to do them, and
those who are to come after them. good
We devoutly wish that every American
woman would consult its pages and heed
the lessons of this Charming and pre-.
emiaentlg usyal book. Its lessons are
especially needed that the life of to-day
may be made better and the hope of to-
morrow made brighter
Wondrous indeed is the pirtue Of a true
book. v-CAKLYIE

The little city of Keene, N. H., has
been considering the subject of sewerage
for some years, and formerly had plan
for combined system, prepared by Mr..
Ball, of Worcester, which was found too
costly to carry into execution. Within
the past six weeks they have had plan
for the sewerage of the whole city, pre-
pared by George L. Waring, Jr., Of New
port, have appropriated $65 900 for its
execution, and have contracted with the
Drainage Construction Company Of Bos-
ton to complete the entire work before
the end of this year for $4,000. The
total length of the sewers is between
twelve and thirteen miles. There are
two outlets Unto the Ashuelot River,
which ordinarily run free. During brief
high stages of the river, an artificial dis
charge win be secured by jet of water,
under heavy pressure, working on the
principle of the jet pump. This will be
the first instance of the carrying out of
Warnings system on large scale at the
North, where the climatic conditions are
very different from those of Memphis--in
which place the system has been in opera
ton for more than two years past.
