A ABLE HISTORY.

GsIzor is the Macauly of the History of
France. His narrative is full of emotion like
a quick stream; his characters rise before us
as in the flesh they are men and WON IN, not
figures. 1t is charming as any romance.
II is work to read and re-read. The new
edition Just published is worthy of the work.
Though reduced from $4,000 to $500 the 427
illustrations are all there, superb in quality
the type is large; the binding is thoroughly
excellent and tasteful Every word of the
publishers description in the advertisement
elsewhere is worth reading-the work ought to
be owned in every home. We have made an
arrangement with the publisher by which we
are able to offer this work, GUIzoT's HISTORY OF
FRANCE, vols, large limo, 427 fine illustra-
tions, as described in the publishers advertise
ment elsewhere, regular price 5000, in combl-
notion with The WESTERN SEsrINEL on the
following remarkably attractive terms,
For $6.15, we will send one copy OF this paper
one year, and deliver set of Guizots History
of France, as described, at office without
further charged saUi,ag to you of l.25.
For S11.50, we will send two copies of this
paper one year, ard deliver two sets of the
work described, at our Office without further
charges Saving to you of $3.50.
For $500, we will send three copies of this
paper year, and deliver three copies of the
work described, at our Office without further
charged Saving TO you $3.50.
Our arrangements with the publisher enable
us to make those exceedingly liberal offers for
80 days only-the time expires March %, 1885.
A prompt call Mt office to examine the
work is worth your while-that will cost moth
ing g. few hours or few moments talk
with your neighbors will enable you to secure
it on easy terms.

NEWSPAPERS CHANGES. +.

The Daily Reporter has changed

ing the new editor. It is thought
that the former publisher will start a
new bank in Durham.
Anybody can run a newspaper now
adays, the laboring man is protected
by his union from Gratis" and incom-
petants, and all other departments of
the worlds work exact certain re-
quirements or have stated restrictions
to protect the honest workers in those
departments, but journalism is truly a
republic of letters; it is the asylum
for the halt, the lame and the blind Of
every other occupation or profession.
Men who can't earn their salt, and
who have failed at every business ven
ture they ever undertook are free to
enter this enhancing domain and to
feast their souls on the joys of news
paper life, until squall Of some sort
or other overtake them and wreck
their journalistic barks upon the of
metaphorised ocean. Just at this ebb
of the tide, the following paragraph
looms up in the horizon. 1t is from
JOE CALDwELL's paper, the States
vile Landmark, and reads thus:
There has been another newspape,
death in Winston. The Independent
