A TIP TOP BOOK.

We commend to our readers Edward
Egqleston's Household History Of the
United States" We have read it with
some attention and with a great deal Of
interest
Unless there is something in il that has
escaped our notice, it is book worthy Of
our age. 1t is American. The author is
full of the glory of his country. He
recognizes the heroism, the courage and
self-sacrifce, the high manhood of our
colonists North and South, and makes
American history picture full
of honor, Of encouragement, Of in
struction. At the same time like an
honest historian. he tells truth enough
to check our Dragging too much OF our
progeniiors 1t is enough that high man
hood and love Of truth moved them, and
that their crude, rough, but honorable
beginnings have resulted so far in what
promises to be the greatest country on
earth
The most interesting incidents Of
American history are gathered and told
by Mr. Eggleston in d simple, homely
pleasant way, that will make them &C
ceptable to all. And causes and effects,
the great lesson of history, he links and
brings so close together that the most
philosophical mind will be pleased.
The civil war is presented as it should
be, as illustrating American yalor and
patriotism in both sections As in the
early halls of debate, the great
questions involved in our consti-
tuition were tried in giant
struggle of intellect and patriotism. So
the questions that were left unsettled,
that only time and experience could
raise. were referred to the Ultima rate
regua--the arbitrament OF the sword, In
which both sections freely pledged their
lives, their liberties, and their sacred
honor to the glory of both And out OF
that terrific ordeal the Republic has sur
vived-tried and stronger and in many
respects better The Book il peace

But we are absolutely certain that the
Emperor would be happier at his dinner

an international convention for d supply

LIVE LEARNING.

The leading requirements of our age
are quick transit, concentrated power,
prompt action, and live learning. Trans
actions that in the past spread over
weeks, perhaps months, are now com
pletcd on an interview And matters OF
the largest importance are weighed
measured, and their effects accurately
discounted before they happen The
Derby races are fully described In our
Western papers, according to sun time,
two hours before the horses appear on
the track. The times are fast. and every
body knows IT,
The wstchword Of the day Is Hurry

DO All that mere muscle, brute force
can do IS better done by machinery.

SOFT is that unions and clubs for the
protection Of every laborer, every son OF
toll everywhere, in every branch of in
dustry have grown up The business Of
these ia not only TO defend rights and
insure just wages, but to instruct, to en-
tighten, to fit the commonest workman
for the most efficient work, 20 make him
better than a machine. Every club is an
academy. And every branch Of industry
has its monthly OF weekly magazine OF

The general result of all this is that

books have given way to monthly maya
