by RUSSELL IL. CoNwELL, DID. LID.
We are pleased to learn that Biog-
raphy of the worlds greatest divine
Charles ii. Spurgeon, of London, is be-
ing prepared by one of Americas pop
ular lecturers and pulpit orators, Rev
Russell III. Conwell, of Philadelphia
This must necessarily be very rich
book. and ought to find a place i'm every
family. No man of the nineteenth cen
fury has so universally won the heart
and esteem Of mankind as the late MIR.
SpurgeOn, and at the same time lived so
eventful and interesting life. His ca
reer has been full of signal surprises
and remarkable occurrences.
MrCOnwell's personal familiarity with
Mr.. SpurgeOn and his life, together with
his great ability as an author and pop
ularity as an orator and minister is a
guarantee to the public of brilliant
entertaining and instructive book. Next
to Mr.. Surgeons Tabernacle i'm Lon
don, Mr.. COnwell, breaches to the larg.
est regular congregation of any minis
ter in the world, and in many respects
his work in Philadelphia so closely re-
sembles that of the great London di-
vine that he is not infrequently called
the Sturgeon of America.
Before entering tie ministry Mr.. Con
well was a lawyer. great traveller.
journalist, and author of several popu-
lar books.
COnwell's Life of Spurgeon" will un-
doubtedly be regarded as the standard
biography of the great London Preach
er, and is sure to have an immense sale.
This work is being issued by the we'll
known firm of Hubbard Bros, of Phila-
delpia, and will be sold by subscription.

A Query for a New YorI, Club.

A paragraph appears in one of IN,
daily papers under this heading: Car
negie omplimented-The University
Club Entertains Him at Banquet
Following this is an account of the be!.
quet. Mr.. Carnegie was, in the opinion
of the reporter, apparently the guest OF
honor. As he puts it, 1.-THE members en-.
tertained Andrew Carnegie and ex-
President White, of Cornell university.
If the reporter thought as we do. the
precedence should have been thus, "Ex-
President White, of Cornell. and Mr.
Andrew Carnegie"
But why should the University club
entertain Mr.. Andrew Carnegie? He =
opposed to university education. and says
so very frankly. He wrote a series of
letters to the New York Tribune on the
folly of the higher education. He has
of course a right to his opinion, but,
holding such opinions, why should tn
University club do him honor?-San
Francisco Argonaut.

Friday David Whipple chopped three
dormant black snakes out of maple
log at his sugar camp, in jackson town
ship. He placed them in a kettle and
hung the kettle over the fire, and in u
few minutes the snakes began to crawl
around i'll the kettle as though summer
had come. When they had got TO act
ing very lively Mr.. Whipple dumped
them in the snow and they soon began
to become stiff and sleepy again. Then
he put the snakes in lukewarm water,
and they stuck their heads above the
rim of the vessel and gazed around to
see whether it was summer or not.
Presently they crawled out and Mr..
Whipple chopped their heads of. -Scran-

A novel and very interesting relic of
the days when the Indians held undis-
puted sway in this part of the country
has been found near Coupeville, Wash
ington. 1t is the head of some instru-
ment, probably a war club, and is
formed from what appears to be wal
rus tusk, the point of which is broken
off. 1t is about ten inches long, and in
the centre is hole trife less than an
inch square, evidently intended for the
reception of handle. As walrus are
not now found in the sound, the weapon
probably belonged to some of the far
northern tribes, and was dropped dur

To the West and Northwest.

Texas will have an exhibitat the
Worlds fair. The association of
county exhibitors has settled that.
The question for you is, whether
the great region of Texas which
most needs settlers and capital
shall be properly represented.
Every county from Fort Worth
to Texline, from Fort Worth to
FL Paso and from Fort Worth to
San Angelo via Brentwood, with
all the interlying counties, can and
should make distinctive exhibit.
1t is a great opportunity to adyer-
tise the undeveloped West, aud it
must not be neglected.
Let the enterprising citizens,
and this territory is full of them,
take hold of this matter instantly.
The enterprise Is now on a practi-
cal basis, and the way is easy to go
to Chicago in a creditable manner.
No large sum Of money is to be
raised. No money is wanted, ex-
cept as each county may choose to
raise for itself to spend within its
own borders upon its own exhibit.
The movement which is going on
to carry the banner OF Texas to
Chicago in triumph has wisely
based itself on Independent county
action. The county which is not
represented at Chicago viii have
only itself to blame.
1t would be a great thing for the
western part of Texas, in which
we include all the territory men
toned above, to make the best dis
play in the Texas collection of ex-
hibits. This can be done, but no
time must be lost if it is to be
done. Tho exhibits must be taken
from this years crop, and the time
is quickly passing in which they
can be gathered.
The plan IS to assemble all the
exhibits at the state fair at Dallas
this fall, and from there they will
be sent to Chicago, thus Offering a
double benefit for the work of pre-
pairing them.
What say the West and North
west to the proposal to take the
premium at Chicago? We would
like to hear from them. Fort
