A NEW AND VALUABLE BOOK.

For more than year past the Historical
Publishing Company of st. Louis, Mo-,
with an enterprise almost equal TO Ben
nett's, Of the New York Herald, has had
the well-known author, Mr., j. w. Buel,
travelling through Russia and the frozen
regions Of Siberia, to study and write upon
the institutions of those countries. The re.
suits OF the expedition havejust been pub
lished in "Russian Nihiism and Exile Life
in Siberia" volume of 900 large pages
and over goo illustrations forming one of
the most thrilling and valuable records Of
travel and adventure OF the world has ever
known. This work resembles accounts OF
the adventures aud discoveries Of Living
stone aud Stantley-in Central Africa, bu,
it surpasses even there in many respects.
Mr.. Buel went to Russia under the sanction
of our Government, carrying with him let
tiers OF recommendation from the State De-
partm4it and influential Government Off
Gals, which secured him admission to the
highest diplomatic circles in Russia, and
gave him access to the State records, by
which means he obtsined vast amount Of
information never before made public. His
travels and adventures in Siberia are Of the
most thrilling character He thoroughly
investigated Nihilism aud furnishes conf.
pete record Of the astounding deeds OF
that terrible secret organization which has
shaken the throne Of Russia to it's centre.
This book Is valuable addition 10
American literature, and We understand
that the sales are unprecedently large, II
is the sort of book to be read around the
winter freside. 1t Is sold only by sub
scription, and live agents should make
haste to secure their outfits. See sdver'

Sam Scott, one Of the most noted
characters Of Morgan county, Tenn.
and we'll known throughout Fast
Tennessee, died last Thursday at bis
home near Wartburg. Scott was the
heaviest man in East Tennessee, bis
light weight being $40 pounds, and il
IS thought his death was due to his
extreme obesity. He was about 5 feet
! inches tall. but his btdy was puff d
,ut to an abnormal size, and he could
.ca'cely walk. His physicians woulc
Tot allow him to lie in bed, and hs
slept in a very peculiar position
usually kGeoling, with his head resIint
IN a chair. Il is said he would sleer
ia this apparently uncomfortable atti
,ude as soundly as any one in a bed Of
Town.
He disregarded his physicians ad
vice Thursday aud went TO bed as any
lther person, and died during tn,
hight, it is thought from asphyxis.
He was a political power in Morgan
county, and an acknowledged leader OF
he X publican party.
Deceased was a son Of Julian Scott

The financial outlook Of the coun.
try was never better than at present,
and the South is especially well off in
a monetary way, judging from the In
creasing volume Of capital on deposit
at the banks here. Only a few months
ago bankers we're straining every eff
fort to all their mercantile friends to
carry the lstter's agricultural patrons
through to harvest time. Since the
crops Of cotton, sugar, etc began to
move into market, mOaey has been
flowing this way very freely, and the
same condition is repOrtea in all the
cities Of the West and South.
Our bankers arc looking fer
borrowing customers beyond the limits
Of this city. and inquiries 80 far sent
away bring hack answer that money is
&c abundant elsewhere as here. The
prospect indicates a large volume Of
idle capital during the next six
months. At present discount rates
are irregular at 6 per cent, and over
that when it can be obtained.
