''Of making books there is no end,'' yet
no one can regret the appearance of such
works as DR.. Hartwig's 'sPolar and Trop-
ical Worlds" Few books have come under
our notice possessing greater literary merit
and few which can be read with more
thrilling interest. 1t is a work that en-
braces nearly all that is known of these
two great opposed regions Of the Globe,
being the results of the voyages and travels
of all our great explorers in the frozen
North and the burning Tropics. The best
authorities, the most authentic documents,
the scientific journals, and the greatest
and bravest adventures and their books
of travel, have all been levied upon to
furnish their appropriate parts, and the
artist has added the charm of the pencil
to the lively description of it's attractive
pages. While possessing the fascination
Of the novel, every page is replete with
information of the most interesting and
valuable kind and cannot fail to please old
and young alike. This volume is worthy
of place in every library and bookcase,
and no one should fail to examine it when
the opportunity offers.

The Germans of Pennsylvania cele-
brated last week the bi-centennial OF the
landing of some of their forefathers and
settlement at Philadelphia. There are now
100000 Germans in America, one-tenth
of our population, and one-ninth OF the
population of Germany, which is $4,000
600. The Valley of Virginia was settled
by the descendants of the Pennsylvania
settlers, and here like in that State, there
is no more thrifty, orderly and desirable
population. mall things they are conser-
vative, just in their dealings with their
fellow-men, conscientious in their religious
and business relations, Industrious, fru-
gal and intelligent, and constitute class
of citizens, valuable to community and the
State.

BOWLING PATENT ROLLER FLOUR
The improvements that have, of late
years, been introduced in the process of
flour making have been most marked.
Under the old methods there was a good
deal of chance in purchasing a barrel of
flour. But now all this is changed. Good
flour can be absolutely guaranteed under
the patent process if good quality of
grain is used. For sometime past, Andrew
Bowling, the enterprising proprietor of
the Augusta Mills, has been making a
specially of fine flour, and complete sue
cess has rewarded his efforts. His COM
modions mill has been recently supplied
with the most improved machinery, and as
if is located in one of the finest wheat
growing districts of the Union, the pro-
prietor has the choice of the very best
quality of grain. For the patent flour
every bushel is selected with the utmost
care. AS result, the flour is the very
best that can be made, and the housewife
who tries it will never use any other. It
insure good bread under all circumstances
buy none but Bowlings Patent Family
flour. 1t is the cheapest in the end fol
there is no waste from bad bread

Ex-Secretary Blaine, in recent cam
paign letter on the issues of Maine poll
tics, writes
''But the people of Maine are Industrious
and provident, and wise laws have aided
them. They are sober, earnest and thrifty.
Intemperance has steadily decreased in the
State since the first enactment OF the pro-
hibitory law, until now it can be said with
truth that there is no equal number OF
people in the Anglo-Saxon world among
whom so small an amount of Intoxicating
liquor is consumed as among the six hum
bred and fifty thousand inhabitants OF
Maine."

Peabody Educational Fund.

The annual meeting of the Trustees of
the Peabody Educational Fund took place
in New Y ork on the Sd inst. The only alb
sentee was Hon. VIM. M. Evarts. Hon.
A. H. Fl. Stuart, Of this State, was among
those in attendance Hon. r. G. Win
throp, President of the Board, presided.
Ex-Presidents Grant and Hayes and Chief
Justice Waite, were also in attendance.
Mr.. J. l.. M. Curry, the general agent,
submitted his report. Since the meeting
year ago he has visited nearly all the
Southern States, and by request has ad-
dressed the Legislatures of North Caro-
lima, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, and
Arkansas. All the State Superintendent
have cheerfully co-operated with him and
shown a Jealous desire to build up the pub
lie schools in their respective States. In
some of the States a new phase of the free
school question is presenting itself. Ken
lucky has recently stricken from her
statutes an unwise discrimination between
the races in the disbursement of school
funds. Insome other States unfortunately
there is a disposition to take up what Ken
lucky has cast side. MI. Curry furnished
a brief resume of the encouragement given
to educational work, it's progress, and the
aid contributed by the States of Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas,
Louisiana, and Texas. The distribution
of the income of the fund since Oct. /,
1882, has been as follows, the items to
which it was applied being public schools,
Institutes, scholarships, colleges, universe
ties, and the Educational Journal: Ala
bama, $5,775 Arkansas, $4,O5O; Florida,
s., 925 Georgia, So, 900 Louisiana, So, l25 ;
Mississippi ,$4 400 North Carolina, SIS, $50 !;
South Carolina, 81, 225 Tennessee, $12 800 ;
Texas, a13 600; Virginia, $4.l25, and West
Virginia, 100, making total OF 81 ,l75.
The Trustees accepted the resignation
of George P. Russell, who is obliged to be
much abroad, and in his stead elected DIR.
Samuel A. Green, and appointed him Sec
rotary. Gen. Grant, Bishop Whipple, and
Mr.. Stuart were appointed a Committee
on Resolutions Of Respect to the late
Surgeon Gen. Barnes.

FIRE INSURANCE.-Om correspondent,
last week in writing of the burning of the
house of Mr.. j. F. Bowman, near Fort
Defiance, stated that the property was in
sured in the East Augusta Mutual. This
was mistake The buildings were in
sured by Messrs. Hoge 81 Sublett, agents,
of this city, in the following companies :
Dwelling 81 500, in Liverpool, London
& Globe Contents of dwelling ST 900,
and wash-house $500 in the Royal of
Liverpool. Although this fire occurred
only last week. the full amount will
he paid to Mr.. Bowman this week,
checks being now in the hands OF the
agents for the purpose. We stated several
weeks ago that Messrs. Hoge 81 Sublett
represented companies as safe and prompt
as the Bank of England, and the prompt
ness with which the losses have been met
since the agency has been established fully
iustifies the statement. Since July lst,
these gentlemen have paid in fire losses
sustained by parties i'll Augusta and Staun-
ton $500. The companies represented
are the Liverpool, London 81 Globe, The
Royal, The Home of New York, Norwich
Union of England, and the London AS
SIirance.
