Footnrints of the Worlds History.

This is the title Of Il new book INST
issued by the Historical Publishing Com
pany. OF Philadelphia, Pa. As will be
seen BY reference to advertisement IN an
other column they desire active agents
to sell the work in this section. " the
merits OF the book the Christian Record, Of
Reading, Pa, speaks as follows:
Ben Franklin once madethe statement,
schools teach lis the rudments OF Ian
puage, but books teach lis how to think;
therefore no man il truly educated I'M
less he is a reader. Of books Ben was
right. but he lived in an age when books
were so scarce, comparatively speaking,
that but little of the pernicious in litera-
ture was tolerated. But i'll these days 1t
is different Your boys thirst for knoWi-
edge OF the world, and ii You don't give
them some wholesome reading TO STAKE
that thirst, they will get hold OF cheap,
sensational stories that will poison their
minds and do them terrible injury.
There is such q vast amount OF TINS
trashy stuff being poured into the market
at the present time, that it is relief TO
pick up Il new book that is at once
thrilling, romantic, wholesome, pure ana
true.
Such work is "Footprints OF the
Worlds History" the latest and greatest
work OF the two celebrated historians,
John Clark Ridpath and Vim. s. Bryan.
These distinguished gentlemen, having
won their laurels by independent writ
ings, have co-operated in this work, and
produced a gem ''of the purest ray
serene" 1t is not dry, uninterestlng
statement of the plain facts, but rather
each of the most important events OF
history has been taken up and described
by a master of language, who holds the
reader entranced as he wends his way
along the path of history, following care
fully in the footprints of progress.
We are delighted with this superb vol
ume. Perfect in thought, superb in style,
and magnificent in execution. The bind
ngs are sumptuous, as are also the
many illustrations and cOlOred plates.
The publishers have rightly concluded
that such a gem should have rich set
ting.
1t is q valuable addition to literature.
1t is a book for the old as we'll as the
young; the married as we'll as the single;
the gay as well as the grave. Everybody
will read it with equal eagerness and
profit 1t is sold only through agents.

THE PEOPLES Song OF PEACE,

The grass Is green on Bunker Hill,
Tho water sweet In Braniywfne;
The sword sleeps III the scabbard .tiIl,
The farmer keeps his flock and vine;
Then who would mar the scene today
With vaunt OF battle field or fray,
TIE brave corn lifts in regiments
Ten thousand sabres III the sun;
The ricks replace the battIe-tents.
The hammered tzi5sels toss and run.
The neighing steed, the bugle's blast,
These be but stories of the past.
The earth has healed her wounded breast,
The cannons plough the field no more:
The heroes rest! o. let them rest
In peace along the peaceful shorei
They Tough for peace. for peace they fell;
They sleep in peace, and all Is well.
The fields forget the battles fought,
The branches wave In golden grain;
Shall we neglect the lessons taught,
And tear the wounds agape again?
Trust Mother Nature. nurse the land,
And heal her wounds with gentle hand.
LOi peace on earth. Loi flock and fold!
Loi rich abundance. fat Increase.
And valley clad I'm Sheen OF gold!

For Thesus roams the land 40 more,
And Janus rests WIN fusted door.

An AntidOtc.

When Cupid's arrows pierce the heart,
And Surgeon Time is not in call,
A ready cure that needs no art
Will bring relief to one and all.
Just when the woe is at its flood,
But ere the spirit upward floats,
AS an absorbent of the blood
Apply a compress of bank notes.

Not Guilty.

Not Guilty.
There was boy in our town,
All loaded down with sin;
He came across q slot machine
With Drop a nickel in"
He tied nickel OH a string
And dropped it deity through:
He worked the thing, got cigar.
And saved his nickel too.
Time after time he dropped his coin
Thus dcftly through the slot,
And filled his pockets with cigars
Until he had the lot.
The judge, on passing on the case.
Said that this boy of sin
Was guiltless, as he was not told
TO leave the nickel in.

According to promise the balloon ascension took place at Csrrillos gar den last night st o'clock and 6 throng almost as great ss that of Sun day gathered there.
 It was something of disappoint- ment again, in that the balloon did not go up higher, but as before the aeronant was in no wise to blame. About 30 the fire was lighted for the hot air for imitation but through the csrelessness of boys holding the bot tom of the balloon, cold air was allow d to partially fill it, neutralizing to q certain extent the hot air. There fore when it was cut loose it only Gs- cended to the height oi 800 feet sail ing of eastward, the professor dang ling from his bar preparatory to east ing off with his parachute. The ba- loon then began tipping sldewise and was cut loose. The parachute then decended about 2u feet before open ing when gradually its downward mo mentum decreased, the plucky profes- sor landing in the vicinity of Stone avenue where he was rudely welcom- ed back to earth by striking a post, slightly injuring him. The balloon tipped over, belchiug forth trail oi smoke in its dscent, landing a hun- dred yards from it's owner.
 Prof Hennessey intends making am otber ascension this week, which he hopes will prove satisfactory to him self and spectators. It takes place about Saturday or Sunday.

He gave the jury synopsis of what the Attor- ney-Genersl would tell them and pro- ceeded to answer in advance what he could not have an opportunity to do sfterwSrd.
 shortly after 3 o'clock Col Herring, began his argument. It was one O! the grandest efforts of his life in Tomb stone. His acquaintance with the deceased which ripen-d into a warm friendship. added to his intense feeling in the case on behalf of the Territory. At 1 30 he was still riveting the atten- tion of the jury and the crowded court room. The case will go to the jury as soon after the closing argument as it takes tine judge to charge them.

 McNsnn for Murder.

The Grand Jury did not finish its lsbors with the indicting of Burns and Johns for the killing ol ss-s.toa in the San simon valley. The killing of Dr. Willis was made 8 subject for the iullest investigation, with the result that John McMsnn was indicted for murder and is now in the county jail
 The report of the grand jury was handed in about noon and Sheriff Kelton immediately came down town and placed him under arrest. He did not appear surprised and remarked that he expected it.
 As the law knows no such charge as "an accomplice. the indictment is for murder, but it is understood that the charge, stripped of its legal express ion is for being sn acconplice in the murder.
