Natural Science.

easy Lessons in Natural Science"
embracing General Outline ofthe Phys
ical Constitution and Phenomena of the
World, and an account of the most i'm
portant and interesting Minerals, Vegc-
tables and Animals, with Illustrations.
Designed for Schools and Families By
r. L. Kremer. Third Edition, revised.
- mo. 294 pages, 81 so, For sale by Thos.
W. Hartley q Co. Philadelphia.
A most interesting and useful book.
For inquiring minds, young Or old, who
want to know the facts of this vast and
varied world we live upon, it is excellent.
1t is not intended for scientists, or even
for college students. But for beginners
it can have no superior. For working
men and their families it is just the thing.
The segars smoked, or the tobacco chew
ed in six months would pay for this treas
ury of scientific facts; and fund of in
formation for the entertainment of the
whole family would ever be at hand, and
never be exhausted The information is
conveyed by question and answer. A
good plan to use it is for one member of
the family to ask the questions and sec
how many of the rest can answer them.
A far better way to spend winter eve
nings than to lounge around stores and
bar-rooms, smoking, chewing, sweari ng,
growing at low wages, threatening to
strike, talking party politics, or wreeking
somebody's reputation. Sixty chapters
of the book give information about
Matter and its properties, the Atmos-
pherc, its winds and storms, the rocks,
the springs, the gems, the fossils, the
metals, and the useful minerals. In forty
five moro chapters we are told of the
trees and fruits, of vegetables, shrubs and
vines, of plants that produce dyes, resins,
gums, and oils. Finally we have eighty
five chapters on the races of men, apes,
quadrupeds, whales, birds, reptiles, fishes,
insects, and animalcula.

GRANT AND LEW WALLACE,
Chief Quartermaster Baxter Points Out Mis-
takes Made by the Indianian.

New York Mail and Express.
We publish elsewhere in this paper an impor
tant and trustworthy statement as 70 the order
that was sent by General Grant to Gen. Lew
Wallace on the morning of the first day OF the
battle of Shiloh. The author OF this statement.
Gen. A. S. Baxter, is well known and highly re-
spected in this city, where he has lived several
years aud in his native State of Vermont. He
carried the order to General Wallace that has
been the subject of so much controversy. Gen.
Baxter is quiet and retiring gentleman, who
would not have made public the statement he
now furnishes in sslf-defense, but for some re-
cent remarks by General Wallace in Boston. In
cidentally, it is to be said that General Baxters
statements are the best proof that General
Grant lost no time in trying to secure General
Wallace's speedy cooperation at the battle OF
Shiloh.
In his Boston speech Gen. Lew Wallace said:

finally given TO my Acknowledgment, who prob
ably put it under his sword-beit and lost it dur
ing the day. It could not have been foreseen
that its production subsequently, would have
saved me so much pain and modification.
II admit that, as given, General Grants order
directed me to march to Pittsburg Landing by
the lower river road. The order, which. he
says, he gave verbally for transmission, reached
me in writing, and. as delivered. contained no
mention of Pittsburg Landing. or of any road.
The order read You will leave a sufficient
force at Crump's Landing to guard the public
property there. March there and form juno
ton with the right of the army. Form your
line OF battle at right angles with the river, and
be governed by circumstances Not word
about Pittsburg Landing; not q word about the
river or lower road"
AS to which General Baxter Writes:

The order spoke for itself. and General Wallace
knew that was chief qusrtermaster on General

August, 1885, met General Wallace in this
city. and We talked over his movements at the
battle of Shiloh. At this interview mot at

General Rawlins to put the order in writing, so
