Mind you, book may sell rapidly and
be a good thing for a publisher, while
il may not be lasting in its reputation.
Western publishers look more to the
squirting qualities of an author than
they do to staying qualities. Will the
book sell quickly, is the question.
Some of the successful authors whose
books have lived will tell you that
there's nothing in naming book; that
any book will sell that has merit.

The Date of Grand Army Day-Wiii Per-
haps be Changed ON Account of the
Grant Funeral.
Yesterday afternoon F. s. Penfeld, Com
msnder of Mitchell Post G. A. R., received d
telegram from Commander Brown, of Zanes-
vile, advising Mitchell Post to postpone
Grand Army Day, which with the date at
which it is now get will come just the day
before Grants funeral. As most OF the
prominent men who are expected TO attend
Grand Army Day will probably attend the
funeral in New York, it becomes very
serious question. The Executive Committee
held an extra session at G.. A. r. Hall last
1ight to consider the matter, but reached nc
definite conclusion. Commander Brown will
arrive here at . o'clock this morning when
further consultation will be held and the
question Of postponement be decided.

Maine's Gum CrOD.

This is great gum year in Maine,
especially on the Pcnobscot, and now
that the sun is climbing up into the
north little and the lumbcrmen are
coming out, the air is fairly redolcnt
with the perfume OF spruce. The logs,
knees and bark are not the only valua-
BILE parts OF the great timber tree, for
the gum is worth considerable, even in
its rough state, just as it is hacked
from the crOtchcs Of the old trees.
There are two or three firms inMaine
which buy large quantities OF it from
the lumbermen and gum-huntcrs for
the purpose OF refining it, as they say.
But as general thing the refining con-
sists of aduteration with resin. Thoy
throw it into "a big kettle, bark and all,
and boil it into about the consistency
of thick molasses, skmming the i'm
purities oil as they rise TO the surface.
Then, if the purpose be to adulterate,
some lard or grease and lot of resin
is added, in some cases little sugar.
The mixture then becomes thicker, and
after more stirring is poured out on a
slab, where while il Is yet hot it is
rolled out in sheet about quarter Of
an inch thick, and then 'iopped with
o steel die into pieces half an inch wide
and three-quarters of an inch long.
These pieces are wrapped in tissue pa
per and packed in wooden boxes.
There are two hundred pieces in box.
Some gum is treated in this way
without authorization. The best gum
comes from no particular locality, but
always from tho biggest trees. The
loggors, in their many idle hours by
their camp fire, whittle out miniature
barrels from the blocks Of cedar or
white pine, hollow them out and fill
them with the choicest gum the woods
afford for gifts to their sweethearts,
children or friends when they "come
down" in the spring. Portland (he.)

The History Of Bimetaiiism IN the
United States. BY j. LAURENCE
LAuaHLIN, Phi. d., Assistant Pro-
fessor Of Political Economy in llar-
ward University. New York /: ID.
APPLETON & Co. 1886.
This is an interesting subject. We
have just read Mr.. EDWARD At
KINsON's last article on the subject. II
is an able presentation Of the monometal-
lie side of the question. The book be-
fore us is much more pretentous than
that article, or Judge HUGHEs's little
book, or a dozen other contributions
TO the literature OF real money. We
have read the monometallists argu-
ments as carefully as those of the BIZ
metallists. and are consequently in
quite judicial frame Of mind. Mr..
LAUGHLIN's book is worth reading.
BY the way, he quotes in full law
WhiCn most people nave loSt Sight oil.
We allude to the law which provides
that the holder Of any Of the silver coins
Of the United States smaller than one
dollar may present them in sums ofnot
less than 800 any treasurer's or assist
ant treasurer's Office and receive there
for lawful money; and also provides
that the said small silver coins shall be
a legal-tender in all sums not exceeding
$40 in full payment Of all dues, public
and private; from which we infer that
postage stamps may be paid for in silver
three-cent pieces.
