MIR. Hoover is one of the most gen
ial and successful book men in the
United States, though quite a young
man. he is deserved popular with
all young men and women who have
ever been in the employ Of that com
pany, formerly known as the Central
Publishing House. The book of
which they make a. speciality this
year, is beyond doubt, one Of the
mostepopular works now extant, and
in our judgement, the best for all
classes 1t comes to us recommend
ed by such persons as the Gar of
Russia, Queen Victora, and other
European potentates, as we'll as the
best minds of America. Distin-
guished ministers have taken hold 81
it as achristianizing element In the
successful prosecution Of their work.
It is preeminently the book that will
agfeeably and successfully pave the
way to careful study lof the bible,
on the part ofYoung people. 1t is
the story Of the noblesttype Of woman
hood, presented in a most attractive
and novel manner, and written by a
master mind. It inspires a new love
for biblical truths, broadens our con
ceptions Of the Of dignity wife-hood
and motherhood and generate spirit
oflinquiry into biblical history, by
undermining the style and simplify
ing the diction. We have read ii
carefully, and unhesitatingly pro
nounce it a work most worthy the
careful study of every man and wo-
man. Agents need feel no sense OF
compromising their personality in
presenting IT to the people. It is
superior to anything we haye ever ex-
amined in this line. Do not fail to
read it. This done, you will placei it
in your library. All young men de-
string work for the summer will do
well to consider this valuable work.
Mr.. Hoover is in town and will re-

him and his work to your generous
consideration, having been in his en-

The New Ginger" Prayer Book.

Henry Provide, of Oxford university,
has designed a series of prayer books, the
novelty and merit of which consist alike
in their diminutive size and the beauty
of their binding. 1t is difficult to believe
that a book of nearly 700 pages will go
into the waistcoat pockStor into the purse,
but such is the delicacy of the workman
ship and the compactness of the binding
that no difficulty will be found in such a
method of carriage. The tiny volume,
bound in morocco and velvet, which Mr..
Provide has called the Finger prayer
book, weighs about three-quarters of an
ounce, is only one inch in breadth, three
and a half inches in length and one-third
of an inch in thickness. To get go age
and two morocco covers into the thick
ness of one-third of an inch is a marvel
of paper making and binding. One speci-
men is contrived to hnng on the chate-
laine; II case is made of silver, consisting
of a double cross, one for each of the vel
vet covers of the book, and this both adds
TO the beauty of the volume and serves to
keep it in a compact form. A ring is
added, which serves for attachment to a
chain. An edition is also issued without
the calendar and the occasional services,
thus reducing the thickness by one-third
and the weight to about half an ounce

A German medical journal relates a
remarkable instance of the effect of ner-
vous excitement. "A locomotive engi-
neer on a passenger train, on rounding a
curve, suddenly saw a train about sixty
yards ahead, and stationary. With great
presence of mind he reversed his engine,
signaled for the breaks to be applied and,
by vigorous action, prevented a disas-
trous collision. The excitement of the
moment vas tremendous, but only q vi
olent trembling of the legs remained,
and he continued at his post. But great
mischief had been done. After five days
he had to %relinquish his duties, and he
gradually became unfit for all work.
Once a robust, stalwart man, he has be-
come very thin, his gait is slouching and
toilsome, and his speech slow and stam-
mering. He is suffering from what is
known as railway spine a most dis
tressing disease. His digestion, memory
and ability to sleep are impaired, and a
singular diminution of nervous SENSIBLE
ity has taken place over his whole body,
80 that he scarcely feels the prick of a
needle sufficiently deep to bring blood.
His legs are also benumbed up to the
knees, and, altogether, the man is a

The justice OF the councils investiga
ton into the "gIeetul' secretary's arbi-
trary manner of setting aside the United
States laws, has been productive OF some
sood. He has condescended to advertise
for the printing of the session 10 VS. and
the council and house journals. He has
not yet explained, however, why he
failed to advertise for bids for printing
tie house and council bills as the United
States statutes direct him to do Per
haps 1t would be too much to expect OF
him to obey the law except in SO far as 1T
may suit his purposes. They may do
things differently IN California.

We were out on Sunter's coffee plan
tation a few days since, and were sur
prised to see what he mad done, says a
writer in The Hilo Record. In less thar
a year he has cleared in the heavy forest
ten acres of land and set out over 1000
coffee plants. He has lone all the work
himself, and it shows up well. The first
planted coffee trees show a growth of
from ten inches to two feet, and look
thrifty. The only blight we could dis
cover was where the coffee had been
planted under kukui trees, and since they
have been cut down the coffee is recov-
ering from the blight. But the second
year from now there is but little doubt
that many of the trees planted will COM
mence to bear. This aa soil seems to be
the home of the coffee, and we hope that
in a few years there will be not only ten
acres, but 10, 900. The labor of cleaning
is comparatively little. And it will be
necessary to let most of the ohia trees
stand for shade to the plants.

1t appears that only two persons enjoy
the privilege of driving to the Vatican
with a n horse vehicle. One of them
is the commissary general of the holy in
QUESTION and the other the Prussian am
bassador accredited to the Holy See. The
latter's privilege owes its origin to rather
an interesting circumstance. APrussian
ambassador some years ago drove up one
day in a single horse carriage and pre-
sented himself for admission at the gates
of the Vatican leading into the court
yard; but, in pursuance of their orders,
he was refused admission, except on foot,
by the Swiss guard. Being forced to
yield, he complained with some bitter
ness to Cardinal Antonelli, secretary of
state to Plus TX, who said he would refer
the matter to his holiness. Plus TX, upon
hearing of the incident, Immediately gave
orders that henceforth his excellency,
the Prussian ambassador, was to be al
lowed admittance cum quocumque quad

The Republican majority In the house

duce the burthens of taxation. They
nave a bill before them now cutting of

nifty fund. amounting TO one-one hun
dreth OF a mill. In other words il
amount to one copper cent upon every
thousand dollars of valuation, The
house members may congratulate them
selves upon this stupendous evidence OF
economical inclluatlons, but why don't
they 90 further and take some steps TO
reduce the enormous surplus of the
people money constantly kept in the
treasury, amounting two days ago to
1888, 1872? Why don't they formulate a
law, for instance, TO make taxes payable
one-half on June ] and one half on Jan
! and thus make them less burthensome
on the counties and individuals?
Why won't they cut off all the interest
which now goes into the pockets of the
various %treasurers and cause the same to
be added to the public funds and tighten
the loads Of the people to that extent2
Why are they willing to keep the sala
ries OF the territorial. as well as county
officials, within proper hmi's aud cut
down the contingent fund to reasonable
proportiOns-even to the extent OF wipiug
out contIngents now drawn by the fed.

Why dent they formulate a better sys
ten of laws for the assessment and collec-
ton of taxes so that one man is not as
sessed on a basis OF from Is to 25 per
cent and another on a basis OF rs to 100
per cent?
Wiping out the stock indemnity tax
is a very mild move in the right direction,
but the people demand more concessions
than that to satisfy them. The indemnity
tax only applied to stock owners, who
made no objection whatever to it, and the
general run Of people may now demand
some little consideration.

Laramie's water Supply.


A special meeting Of the council was
held. 1t which 1t was decided to take In.
mediate steps to render Laramie's water
supply more efficient. There were pres
ent Mayor Trabing and all the council
men.
The chief drawback in lettering the
water supply lies in the fact that the city
caunot be bonded further, but the mayor
had returned from Cheyenne with an
idea. He suggested that the same
method be resorted To as had been in that
CITY with relation to the viaduct) that
a company be formed to put in an ade-
quate water system and operate it, the
company to enter into an agreement to
sell out after a certain number of years.
The proposition met with practically
unanimous favor on the part of the couu
cllmen.
A committee will be sent to Omaha.

MEMORIES OF HOME.


Murmuring night winds sigh as they roam.
Waiting a message from my old homo
Whispering softly, gentle and low,
Calling TO mind the dear long ago.
hem'ries awaken, start into life,
Bear me away from all sin and strife,
Filling my soul with a dream divine,
Mother! once more I'm a child of thine. o
Thy tender face, with its lines Of care,
Shaded by bands OF soft, shining hair,
Bends low above me, thrills me with bliss,
As ! remember thy goodnight kiss
Once more thy low, gentle voice | hear,
Sweetly its accents fall on my ear:
Never, my boy, where'er you may roam,
Never forget thy mother at home"
FoDdly sweet mem'ries crowd on my heart
Mem'ries from which / would never part
Bringing the scent Of some lonely how'r
Growing close by the old ivied bow'r.
Often we sat there The sily'ry moon
Beaming so softly A song you'd Groom,
Gentle and low, my head on your breast;
Soothed by its music, I'd sink TO rest
Gone! are the days OF my childhood dear,
Gone! are the songs | so loved to hear,
Gonei Is the sound Of the voice so meek,
Gone the sweet face with Its furrow'd check
Lonely dream while my heart grows sore,
Sadly / think OF the days Of yore.
Never again can they come to me,
Motherl l would / could be with thee.

productive of very much good. A large
