Tho Christian AdrOcaie. y. Y, says: Clear
type appropriate illustrations together with an
excellent style, combine to make this book Of
Mr.. Collins one of the most attractive of the
series If not of the authors productions. One
really gets better idea OF the Civil War from
such book as this than from the very thor
ough record published in The Century.
The Critic n Y, says: Though written for
youth. and lavishly and appropriately Illus
trated, il is worthy TO stand on lis own merits,
as genuine history without pictures, as the best
popular account of the War.
The Boston Traveller says: Mr.. Coffin brings
70 his description OF the leading military events
of this era the same graphic power which has
characterized his previous volumes, and which
has given them a most deserved popularity,
especially with the younger generation of
readers. They have all the fascinating charm
of fiction, and at the same time they present
thoroughly authentic record of the events Of
the greatest military struggle of the century.

that names had been skipped on every page.
In some instances nine and ten names were
omitted on page. A tally-sheet gave Nc
Donald 800 votes and Stuhr 13. The result
of the recount was: Stuhr 76 and Nc

them the Importance of preparing for the
campaign early, and will do anything at his
command to make Ii successful. There Is a
movement on foot to expedite the enumera-
fion OF the people by the census machinery
in order TO secure the returns of population
at the very earliest practicable moment. In
connection with this Ii Is proposed To con-
tinue the session until the statistics
of population have been transmitted
tionment can be made bv act of
Congress Ii is practically certain that an
increase of the basis of representation will
reduce the representation III the South.
The statistics of that section under the
last census have not been regarded rs par
ticularly accurate. It Is now proposed to in
troduce certain details which will prevent
false enumeration, and will give data of
the population in such detail that false
enumeration will be impracticable.
An increase of the ratio of population to
each Representative from its present figure
to about 10000 would make the House
about the same number as at present. The
slow, would lose largely; Pennsylvania
would gain one, New York two or three.
Colorado one, New England would lose,
while the West and Northwest would gain.
The seat of political power will be strongly
centred in the Republican States. where
the greatest increase of population
has followed the demands of in
dustry through emigration in ad-
dition to the natural law of increase.
The passage of an apportionment bill, es-
tablishing representation in the Fifty
second Congress. based upon the enumera-
tien of the population under the present
census. will not need any State legislation
to make it operative, as the act of Con-
eress always provides for the election of
representatives at large until the legisla-
lures redistrict the States upon the new
basis.
1t is inside talk among the leaders that
Congress will not adjourn until such bill
shall have passed, and that it can all be
done before Oct. l, which will be in ample
time to be utilized in the elections of next
November. The enumerations will be made
In June. the returns can be compiled and
placed before Congress by August. bill
can be passed to accomplish the results de-
sired by September. Both houses being
Republican, there need ne no delay in APP
plying the results of the census to the per-
sonnel of the House in the next Congress.
With this programme in the minds of the
Republican leaders, Congress is likely to
pass another summer at the capital.

LAFAYETTE, Feb. ia remarkable case
is reported from the Wildcat neighbor-
hood, this county. Samuel Buck. well-to-
do farmer who is in poor health. arose from
his bed Sunday night. and ran out of doors
in his night-clothes. Members of the
family followed, and induced him to re-
turn. Buck sat down by the stove and be-
gan to smoke. The family, thinking no
more about it, retired, when Buck again
started off in his night-garments As soon
as this was known, search was made for
him. He was easily tracked in the snow,
the man having gone on q run, as was
evidenced by the long strides taken by him.
The steps led to the banks of the creek, and
it was feared he might have gone into the
water ard been drowned. The water was
waist deep, but crossing the stream the
searchers discovered that Buck had waded
the creek, as his tracks were plainly visible
the residence of his brother, and thither the
searchers hurried as fast as they could.
Buck was found near the house. He had
stopped, from apparent exhaustion. to lean
against an out-building on the place, and
his'shirt being wet from wading across the
Wildcat, had frozen to the side of the
building. and held him fast. HIS feet were
gradually freezing to the ground. and 1T
was some time before the poor fellow was
released from his sad situation. A little
more delay aud he would have been chilled
to death. He was taken to the house,
thawed out and warmed up. and so far there
do not appear to be any i'll results following
his midnight journey across the fields and
over the creek in his night-dress. He is of
melancholy nature, and unless pressed
does not converse.
