WatsOn's New Book.

Mr.. Watson has in press the first
volume of History of France, treat
ed from the point of view of q mod.
ern reformer. Commencing with
ancient Gaul, the book ends with the
death of joan of Arc.
The Past is the wisest teacher Of
the Present, and no nation teaches
more impressively than France. Ia
this first volume, the original abuses
OF the system by which the Church
and the State finally maddened the
people and drove them into the wild
excuses of the French Revolution,
are clearly traced.
The second volume will embrace
the French Revolution; and the third
will give the story of Napoleon, AID
the subsequent history of France
down to the present time.
The Author believes that the Les
sons of Reform and the vital imp Or.
lance OF Good Government can be
better taught from the stern expert
ence OF nations than from editorials
or from speeches.
The work now in press will be
ready for delivery in few days.
1t will be bound in cloth, printed
on first class paper and in the best
style, and will be sent, postpaid, to
any address, on receipt of one dollar.
Orders can be sent either to this
office or 10 the author at Thomson,

He gave his last 90 cents last night.
He had since earned 81, and he gave
that. He said he left a wife and
children at Springfield. They hadn't
any money, but had enough to last
them until the next night, then the
Lord would provide.
The next donation was $4,000.
From this point the money simply
rained down. 1t came in bills, in
gold, in silver, in checks, in
bonds, in stocks, and in pledges.
The monster gift was from a man in
New York, who telegraphed 10000
shares of stock worth IS per share at
par, but for which he would give his
check for $4,000. His name is not
to be had. Mr.. Lelaoheur said they
needed two house boats for the work
ia China. They cost $3.50 each.
They were paid for in a moment.
Then the mis- sionary on the Congo
needed two steam launches at $685.
600 each. J. r. Libbey, a merchant,
of Portland, promptly provided for
one, and the other was quickly taken
csre of.
One woman said she had two cot
tages at Old Orchard. They needed
a missionary honse in the Congo
She made sale of the property On
the spot for $4,000, and the house on
the Congo will be built. One woman
said she had $500 she had been saw
ing to send her sick sister to a spot
where there was hope of recovery.
She gave this for the Celestials in
southern China. A man quickly gave
his piano to turn into money. Then
a missionary named Dreamer made
an impressioned appeal, crying out
"You cannot hold up jeweled hands
and hands with gold and silver and
have them clean before God! There's
blood on them. Take them off; take
them off. Give them to the Lord;
they ave for His work"
Then came an avalanche of jew
elry. Watches, diamonds, rings,
chains, keepsskeF, heirlooms, were
cast into the baskets, all to 60 into
the pot Of the chemist, the proceeds
to 90 to the heathen. These are but
a few scenes from the strange mani
festation Of the power Of the ex-
| horters.
From that same audience for the
worthiest philauthropic objsot you
| could not have raised $1,000 in the
ordinary way. The glvers were OF
every walk of life, from the ragged
urohin who gave a nickel to the New
Yorker whose large contribution has
heen told of.
The great audience went home
practically without a cent IN its
pocket, without ring upon its finger,
without jewel to its name. When
DR.. Simpson had carefully gone over
the fruits Of exhortation, eliminated
all doubtful pledges, he stated that
the Offering was $1O1,500, an amount
upon whioh he would stake his honor
would all be paid up. Perhaps a
third of it was in money. More than
100000 in single day is the record
of this most notable religious gather
ing in this State, and it all goes to
the heather of Asia and the Dark
Continent.
