HARPER'S
History
Or THE
Civil w ar.

This great book has sold for years
at $40 to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are I64xII4 inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn't
afford SI6 and kept asking for the
old Harper Weekly during the
War. After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was so inter-
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was so COM
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
It is made into rs big parts, 81
big pages in each, and printed on
nice supercalendered paper-better
than ever before and has a hand
some buff cover with emblematic de-
sign on each part.
The parts have sold as high as 81
each, but can be got for only s cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies OF
many official documents and state
papers of priceless historic value, all
go in with the pictures.

An ITEM is floating on the surface of
the general miscellany of journalism to
the effect that the largest Bible in the
world is in the Vatican. It is in manu-
script and weighs $40 pounds; that at one
time some Italian Jews obtained view
OF the precious Bible and told their CO.
religionists of it; that in consequence a
syndicate Of Venetians offered Pope
julius II. an equal weight in gold for the
manuscript tome; that this was refused.
The significance of the item is in what
follows: "At the present price of gold the
offer was one of not less than $500, 900.
the largest price ever known to have been
offered for a book" The statement of
the magnitude of this offer must proceed
from slovenly computation. For 800
pounds avoirdupois Of gold, that is six
teen ounces 10 the pound, at. SIS per
ounce, would be S92, 100. A pound OF gold
avoirdupois at SIS an ounce is S28S. 1t
may be Of use TO those who find nuggets
OF gold weighing three or tour hundred
pounds to know what they are worth.
and we therefore vouchsafe the informa
tion that gold is worth, present valuation,
S576,0O0 ton; that carload of ten tons,
without refrigeration, would be worth
only 100000.
Yet there is class of economists who
contend that all articles of commerce
should be carried at the same rate per ton;
that carload of wheat and carload of
gold should be carried for the same COM
pensation. having like weight merely.
The estimates of the value of gold by the
pound, ton and carload, set forth in this,
should be preserved as useful to shippers
of that commodity.

MUNICIPAL corruption received de-
eided check on Wednesday at New Or
leans by the conviction of Councilman
Callahan of bribery. He had levied
blackmail in the matter of ordinance
passage and had taken bribes to favor
certain legislation. The Doodle ring in
the Council came to the rescue, raised
funds and employed large number OF
lawyers to defend Callahan. A common
fear made them wondrous kind. Ali
their money, all their pulls, all their
threats, availed them nothing. and the
city legislator will go to prison and chant
of "the wearing of the stripes" This,
we are told, is but beginning in New
Orleans. Clerks. Councilman, the Mayor,
perhaps, and other officials are to fol-
low-in all. there are forty indictments
against municipal officials in the Crescent
City. Yet it is said that it is not possible
to clean out boss corruption in our great
cities. Philadelphia, through the agency
Of her celebrated Committee OF One
Hundred. purified local politics years
ago, and has to-day model government.
Boston, likewise, has maintained. fairly,
cleanliness in her municipal affairs.
New York, twenty years ago, broke
the ice by sending Boss Tweed to prison,
and latterly she has placed thirteen Alder
men under criminal ban. and still later
has sent two OF the most notorious cor
ruptionists to Sing Sing and is now
prosecuting forty-six others. Wherever
and whenever there is sincere effort on
the part of the people to work municipal
reforms they can be accomplished, and
that, too. without the formation of new
parties or the friction of an agitation in
volving the politics of the Nation.

THE RATE WAR STILL ON.

Crowd to Savannah.
Unless there is settlement of the
passenger rate war between the Central
and the Port Royal aud Augusta from
Augusta TO Savannah, next Sunday will
bring to Savannah a larger crowd of ex-
cursionlsts than last Sunday did
The situation remains unchanged, and
is now, just as it was last Saturday when
the Sunday excursion rates to Tybee from
Augusta were reduced to 81 and TO Savan-
nah 30 cents.
Neither road has made overtures to the
other to settle the difference and restore
the excursion rate to the former price of
Sl.5O to Tybee, with no special rate to
Savannah. Unless there is an equaliza-
ton OF the rates there is no hope Of set
tlement. BY an equalization is meant
that the proportions of the former rate of
Sl.5O be more evenly balanced. that is to
say, that the Tybee road not be allowed
% cents to haul the eXcursionists "a miles
while the roads from Augusta to Savan-
nan only get 81 for haul 264 miles That
started the rate war; and correction Of
the rate is the only thing that can be
agreed upon that can be the basis of a
settlement.
The railroads are willing TO come to an
agreement, but so far have not done so.
savannah is not anxious they should, for
II is getting the benefit of the war in the
crowds thatit brings here
