SEW PUBLICATIONS. . -t An interesting event in the literary world in the appearance of Volume I of "The Century Dictionary; an Encyclopedic Lexicon of the English Language." As the greatest dictionary of the English language ever published, or likely to be published for a Ion? time to come, it will excite special interest among Scholars, students, scientists and readers throughout the English-speaking Tvorld. It is prepared under tho superintendency of William Dvright Whitney, LL. D., professor of Comparative Philology and Sanscrit in Yale University, and one of the foremost philologists of thu age. As an indication of the extent and character of the work it may be stated that each of the six volumes will be 10x13 inches and contain about 1,200 pages, rith numerous well-executed illustrations. The entire -work will comprise about 200,000 words a much larger number than is usually included in vocabularies of the language the object beine to secure "a practically complete record of the main body of English speech from the time of the mingling of the old French and AngloSaxon to the present day, with snch of its offshoots as possess historical, etymological, literary, scientific or practical value." To this end the ablest collaboration was obtained in every department, and the

amount as well as the cost of the editorial labor involved must have been something enormous. A very cursory examination of the work will serve to show how comprehensive, varied and exhaustive the labor of its preparation has been, and what rich mines of philological and linguistic learning its pages include. "The Century Dictionary" is likely to overshadow all others, and to become a necessity to every person of literary taste and culture. The typography of the work is admirable, the binding unload and strong, and in these respects, as well as in contents, it is one of the most striking examples wo have seen of recent progress in the enterprise and liberality of American publishers. Volume I, containing l,200paees. embraces words from A to Cono. Published by The Century Company, New York. - "The Indiana Insurance Directory" is a compilation of facts and statistics, relating to the insurance business in this State. Previous to 1873 no official record was kept of the business of the companies in In diana, anil smco tnen tne scant reports oi the Auditor of the State have been published in such manner as to throw little light upon the conduct of the companies. Each report of the Auditor contains the receipts and losses of the companies for two periods of six months each, making a report for the year ending upon Juno SO, and no attempt has been made to exhibit the bnsiness of the companies in this State for each calender year, except by the publications of this company. The Directory gives the experience of each of the 28 lire insurance companies licensed to do business in Indiana during the past sixteen years, as well as that of seventy-five life and accident insurance companies, licensed during the same period. It will be found useful by all who are interested in the insurance business. Indianapolis: Kough Notes Company. "A New English Grammar," by John Carroll, A. MM illustrates the evolution and advancement of method in treating of grammar. The old system and former works on the subject wero dry and repulsive to the last degree. This one is really interesting and almost attractive to the student and reader. It is much more than a mere grammar, being a critical analysis of language and the basic parts of speech, and a simplification of definitions and rules, which have puzzled learners from time immemorial. The authordoesnot merely give definitions, he demonstrates them. In formulating rules he shows the origin and reason of ' them, thus enabling the learner to understand what he memorizes. The entire work is based on philosophic principles. St. Louis: C. B. Woodward Company. "Elsmere Elsewhere, orShifts and Makeshifts, Logical and Theological' is a book for thinkers. It is a discussion, from another stand-point, of the theological problems hinted at in "Kobert Elsmere." The author. Judge B. F. Burnham, possesses a great art of compiling and condensing, and in this little work he has condensed into email space and attractive form many of the latest conclusions of the best thinkers concerning religious and theological problems. The author, it should be said, does not belong to the orthodox school. Paper covers, 50 cents. Boston: Wm. Macdonald & Co. "The Art of Selling," by F. B. Goddard, is intended as a sort of text-book for commercial travelers. It also contains hints on buying, and treats of recent changes in business conditions and methods, salesmen's compensation, opportunities and prospects, how to read character, etc. The book has many valuable hints for business men.

Mi flu n &. Co, The First Cable Itoad. Cable cars for street railways are being extensively experimented upon. Tho studv of the early history of cable cars will illustrate how a small incident will settle the fate of important experiments. It is known to most readers of railway history that tho first experiments of railroad building in tho United States wero at Baltimore, in 18!h, when cars wero tirst run on liftct n miles of "the Baltimore Sr Ohio railroad, out to the Relay House. The road was built to bo operated by horse power. No other plan was proposed. But genius was planning and designing. The cable was proposed, and was applied. After spending in preparation several thousands of dollars, a trial trip was proposed, and all of the editors of Baltimore, Annapolis, and we believe some from Washington was invited to go on the trial trip. It was exclusively of editors. All went well until they were out four or five ' miles from Baltimore, when an old cow got on the track and was run over, and dumped all of the editors into the ditch full of tilth and muddy water. The editors got homo on foot and by farm wagons, greatly demoralized in clothing, in temper, and in very bad spirit to aid any strugglingenterprises. And they raised such a hullabaloo and opposition to cable cars that the enterprise was abandoned iu disgust, and no man had nerve enough for njty years to advocate cable cars again. And it is probable that the lastonoof those wrathy editors were dead before a cable car dared

to blow its pony whistle. The writer of this article was in the printing business at the date of the dumping of the dandy city editors, and recollects vividly the burlesque, the anathemas and denunciations of the projectors of the cable road. And that was tho first railroad accident in the United States. ; THE SHAITS IlAltEJI. Some Accounts of the Ladles Who Cheer tho 1'erslan Potentate's Hours. e London Modern Society. Without indiscretion, it mav bo noted

that the denizens of the royal seraglio be longing to his interesting Majesty, who are under the care of tho Koji Bashi, or chief eunuch and his fellows, are about three hundred; that of these three hundred many are children, and two hundred, at least, are simply servants, a large number being negresses. Each otlico of the Persian court baa its corresponding dignity in the Anderuu. Few additions have been made of late years to the number of inmates of the royal seraglio, and it contains absolutely no European or male persons over the age of eleven. Each royal favorite has her separate pavilion and her staff of servants, her equipages, her jewels and her revenue. The principal favorite generally has some high-sounding title conferred upon her, euch as the "Delight of the State." Tho ladies are never seen abroad unveiled, save one or two of the handsomer or more Highty of thelnumber, who sometimes, when driving in their "glass coaches," purposely give a rather liberal display of rlorid chnrms to passers-by in carriages or on horseback. The legends of tattooed Greek princes notwithstanding, it is quite certain that, as a rule, no man save the King enters the roy.il harem, or, having done so, leaves it alive. Some years ago an unfortunate workman, while engaged iu excavatiug a water-course, suddenly found himself in the royal harem, and nearly died of fright accordingly (by the way, the in-door dress worn by Persian ladies has been described as precisely resembling the costume of a 4allet girl, minus the maillot!), but the ving, seeing how the matter stood, pardoned him. The means of getting rid of those who have ceased to please is simple, and yet ingenious. There , is no sewing up in sacks, no casting from towers, no bowstring, no poisoning. Some provincial general is inlormed that he will be favored with a wife from the royal harem. To refuse is impossible; the disgusted lady arrives, and is 1)laced at the head ox her new husband's household. She usually insists npon his divorcing his other wives, and, in any case, treats them as servants and inferiors. One old general, who had become the recipient of one of these royal favors (the lady led him a sad life) never alluded to her but in a whisper, of course as the old camel." Beauty and youth are the few and simple qualifications for entering the royal harem. Various accomplishments, such as singing, playing on the hand drum, or tumbak, the tambourine or the harmonica, aro often acquired after the lady has been received into the seraglio. Only the fresh arrivals and those who have failed to please live together in a sort of barrack under the supervision of ,the Amin-i-Akdas, an old favorite, who acts as rt sort of "mother of the maids." Every Thursday there is a kind of review, the Shah personally inspecting the whole establishment other than the recognized wives and favorites. The throwing of tho handkerchief is no invention, and has not gone out of practice The number of legitimate wives (or akdi) for every Mussulman is four. The head wife of the present Shah, who is his cousin also, and who bears the title of Shuko-es-Sultana, is the great granddaughter of Futteh Ali Shah, a monarch whose family was so large that 110 of his descendants wero alive at his death. This lady is the mother of tho Crown Prince, or Valliad. Her marriage with the Shah was one of policy. The next wife in seniority is the daughter of a son of Futteh Ali Shaw. She is only known to rumor as having a somewhat sharp temper. The third wile, and the actual favorite," is Anys-u-Dowlet. Sho has been a legitimate wife nearly thirteen years, is very fat, fairly good-looking, and is said to be very good-tempered and attractive. Sho actually accompanied the Shah as far as Moscow on his first journey to Europe, but the attempts to see her made by the Russians of all classes were so pertinacious that to her great disappointment, she was sent back to Teheran. The Any s-u-Dowlet has immense influence, and yet she never takes a bribe, but her own family is well cared for, three of her relatives filling important positions at the court, where their reputation is not that of her royal kinswoman. The whole family were tne children of a village miller, who lived near Dimarvend. a nearly extinct volcano, which, capped with eternal snows, towers over Teheran, and may bo seen, it is said, at a distance of 200 miles. m INCOMPATIBLE OCCUPATIONS.

"1 nave come rive hundred miles to see you." "How strange," bhe said, as she sunk into a chair. "Pray be seated, Harry Mr. Slumpus. How it seems, to bring back old times to see you again."

Pardon me for saying so, but you look scarcely a day older than on that sad, bitter morning so long ago when that foolish quarrel, in which I was to blame, separated us " "Do not sneak of it, liar Mr. Slumpus," replied the lady. "I was not blameless myself. But tell me your history. Where have you been and what have 3rou done in all these years!

THE SUJttlER WHITE HOUSE.

Dally Life of President Harrison and Family at Deer Tark. Letter In New York Tribune. It is not generally known that President Harrison means to make Deer Park his summer home during bis term in office. It is a fact, however, that tho villa in tho Maryland hills will take the place of the cottage at tne Soldiers' Home that was occupied by the Presidents until Mr. Cleveland purchased a country place. Already negotiations have been begun with the owners of the cottage for next summer's rental, and various improvements and additions have been suggested by Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Mckee that will be carried out when they leave in the fall. The living and 6leeping-roonis are all that the best housewifo could demand, but there is a lack of suitable .quarters for servants that causes a woman considerable annoyance. It is quite touching the love the President and his family bear to this mountain nest. Thomas Jefferson scarcely thought more of Monticello, or Andrew Jackson of the Hermitage, than President Harrison thinks of his retreat in the mountains, the only place, as his daughter said, whero care had not followed her father. For eighteen years they have been coming here and almost as much of their life is associated with it as with Indianapolis. It was here Mrs. McKee came for her vacations when a school-girl in Philadelphia, and hero that 6he passed the days of her honeymoon. She told your correspondent that her mother's chiefest thought in the excitement and worry of tho campaign last summer was that they might ail recuperate from a trying year by a summer in tho mountains. There is a bit of history connected with the rental of this special cottage that may be interesting to note. Two years ago before General Harrison had presidential ambitionsMrs. Harrison persuaded her son-in-law to put in his name for a cottage at Deer Park for the summer of 1SS8. She did it for her daughter's sake, as Mrs. McKee had not been strong since the birth of little Henjamin. All tho cottages wero engaged for that summer, bnthe received the promise of the Spencer cottage for the summer of '89. Mr. Spencer, of the Baltimore it Ohio road, had occupied the cottage with his family for several seasons, but as a European voyage was his plan for this summer, tho much-desired cottage fell to Mrs. McKee's lot. She said the Spencer cottage seemed like homo to her, as both she and her mother had visited in it when Mr. Spencer occupied it. The cottage looks like a Swiss chajet, with its pointed red roof and deep verandas. It sits midway . on tho upland, in front of a gentle descent to the glade where the railroad passes, and behind a high hill bearing a dense growth of oaks, with here and there a pretty villa half hidden in the green. There are twelve rooms in the house, but they are 60 well arranged that the space seems ample. The coziest spot is tho square hallway, with its bright rugs and cheerful fireplace. It is there the President goes to romp with his lusty grandson and the more quiet baby Mary, leaving the corner in tho parlor that is spared to his papers. The parlor is furnished in the simplest fashion, the polished dark-wood floors are covered with rugs. One of these is especially interesting. It is of American make, and. bears as a design two American flags with crossed standards. This rug was one of the first gifts President Harrison received after he entered the White House. On all sides are pictures painted by Mrs. Harrison, who laughingly calls painting the accomplishment other old aco. The prettiest bit that bears her initials is a mass of heartsease. So fond is she of the wonderful pansy flower that (she constantly repeats the design in her chinapainting. Mrs. Harrison has dropped the palette and Ibrush since her husband bocame President, but she expects to spend some of the long mornings in Deer Park at her favorato work. The President has the apartment above the parlor, and from his eastern windows he gets a sweeping view of purple hills, which share with the sea the quality of ever changing. In the early morning they are dreau mountains in 'the mist, at midday every tree on the distant summits can be seen distinctly and at nightfall these ever-varying mountains take on that deep violet which peculiar atmospheric conditions make possible at sunspt. The Deer Park farrier who wants to r(fnt this "spare room" urges air and water as inducements. He should add the view. It is that that is going to do tho President good. This range ot the Alleghanies is called tho Glades, and one sees no abruptly rising mountains, but always upland alternoting with valley. Intimate friends of President Harrison say his home life has always been peculiarly dear to him. His one serious grief was tne marriage of his daughter, and he only accepted that as inevitable when Me. Kobert Mckee promised that he should never take his wife from her father's home. Tho President has only doubted the success of this . arrangement once, and that . was when he was elected in November. Having his daughter and grandchildren with him when Senator was different from claiming them when President, as he would be obliged to make Washington his permanent home. He confided his fears to Mrs. Harrison; she went to her son-in-law and said: "Kobert, the children are dear to us, must we part with them!" Mr. McKce promised then that at least part of the year wife and children should live with the President, and that is tho reason so happy a family surrounds President Harrison. Tho daily life in the McKee cottage is very simple; the mountain regimen breakfast at b:30, dinner at ISO, and supper at 7 is observed. The diet is of the most wholesome 'kind, and truth to toll of a wonderful cookery, as Mrs. Harrison herself trained the cook, and when the President was here sho often went into the kitchen to oversee the preparation of some of his .favorite dishes. President Harrison did not tako any outing during his first stay in tho mountains, but he cannot long be proof against the charms of Deep creek, wnere. as an old sportsman pnt it, "you can shoot four woodcock out of every rive you see." The Big Youghiogheny, with its threepound trout, will doubtless woo him from official business, and he may even go into tho heart of West Virginia, where "painters and bars' are still found. The one thing needful to make the President's country life complete is carriages and horses, and they will be sent next week. The little stable back of the cottage will receive the bays from the White House stables, and also the President's mail buggy, the landau and tho extension carriage being too heavy for the mountain roads. Besides the mail buggy, Mrs. McKee has had her two-seated surrey shipped from Indianapolis, and tho two will give all the driving privileges needed. One More Chance. Arizona Kicker. .

Well, he cannot expect to get on smoothly with particular English people so long as he insists upon having the sheep which are to be served npon his dinner-table slaughtered in the drawing-rooms of the houses he visits. Tne esteemed i'ersian ougnt to understand that there is such a thing as making one's self too much at home. Quite Right, rbiftdelphia Times. Mrs. Harrison is quite right to ask for a private presidential residence. A house whose mistress can't find a room to see the cook about breakfast in without bting interrupted by ofllce-seekers and sight-seers might as well be a dime museum for all the home comfort there is about it. John Dawson, of Cleveland, is a middleaged man who is intelligent and rational on every other topic, but is a thorough crank on the subject of bills of large denominations. He is well known among bankers, brokers and merchants, and knowing his weakness for large bills they save them for him, ns they generally know what day Dawson makes his rounds. He walks into a bank or oliice and savs, "Any large bills to-davT' If the cashier hands him a 100 bill he is de

lighted, but if the bill should happen to be one of a $1,000 denomination he goes wild with joy. This is his mode of procedure: He takes the bill into his bauds, fondles it. looks at it with longing eyes, places it in his vest pocket, and walks up and down the room for about five minutes. He then takes the bill out of his pocket, and, with a "Thank you, sir," he returns it. He devotes a day or two every week to this sore of thing, and the more money he can handle and place in his vest pocket the happier he is. In all other respects Dawson is as rational as any man in Cleveland. THEY PI A YE O AND JL.OST.

The Attempt of Indiana Democrats to Nominate Hendricks for President. O. O. B.'s West Baden Letter In Louiartll Courier JournaLThe presence here of Mrs. Thomas A. Hendricks recalls to my memory an unwritten political chapter. Something occurred here in the summer of 1S79 that did more to defeat the permanent restoration of the Democratic party to power than any one thmg since the water. In that year about fifty of the most intimate friends of the late Mr. Hendricks, closely allied with his political fortunes, met here and at French Lick, I never knew whether the meeting was prearranged or accidental. I only know that a large number of the best friends of the popular and distinguished Democrat were here in close and constant caucus. I was here at tho time, and, though a friend of Mr. Hendricks, was not admitted into full membership by reason of mv connection with the ConrierJournaL which was then advocating the nomination of the "old ticket." While some few of Mr. Hendricks's friends favored that programme, a very large majority opposed it. Among the majority were the prominent Democrats in the party, who controlled its State organization and machinery and shaped party action. I could give the names of many of them were it necessary, which it is not. Those particularly desirous of knowing can satisfy their curiosity by referring to the hotel registers of West liaden and French Lick. The questien agitated among the Democratic politicians present was: "Should Mr. Hendricks again run with Mr. Tildenf" It was a serious and important question to be decided, for it was well understood that if Mr. Hendricks consented to again run with" the great New York Democrat, the Democratic national convention of 1SS0 would simply be a grand Democratic jubilee and ratification meeting. Mr. Hendricks at this time had not positively declined to make the race, but it was generally well understood that ho did not care to run. He had said, however, to Senator Voorhees, that "if my friends and the boys want mo to run again I will ask them and let me know." Unfortunately, perhaps, for us all, including Mr. Hendricks, Senator Voorhees and the most intimate and influential friends of the dead Vice-president were opposed to the old ticket Why 1 could never unerstand, for it was tho only step-ping-stono Mr. Hendricks had to the White House. It was dollars to cents that the old ticket would be re-elected, and that Mr. Tildon would retire in 18S4, and that Mr. Hendricks would succeed him. Yet the friends of Air. Hendricks who met here in such large numbers in 1879 took up the notion that when the convention met and satisfied itself that Mr. Hendricks would - not run for Vice-president, it would nominate him for President. It was foolish for them to think so, but they did, nnd, with that idea glued in their heids, they decided here at West Baden, one year previous to the Cincinnati convention, that Mr. Hendricks should not take the second nlace on the ticket that ho must be first or nothing. It was nothing. The convention came ott. It was a showy dress-parade affair. There was no heart or sentiment in the gathering. The fraud of 1877 was condoned. A soldier and a millionaire were put on the ticket. The soldier dunked on the tariff tiuestion and the millionaire flunked on his promise to put up a pile. The party went down in a crushing defeat, as it deserved, and the people were again cheated out of an honest government. Mr. Tilden would have again run for Tresident in 18S0 had Mr. Hendricks stood with him. He told me so at Gray6tone a year before he died. Had he run it would nave becu a walk-over lor the Democracy, for there were thousands of honest men all oier tho country anxiously waiting the opSortnnity to rebuke the steal of tne presiency the four years previous. Had the old ticket been renominated in 1880, as it should have been, the Democratic party wonld be in power to-day, and the robbery of the peonle would have long since ceased. Let us have faith that right makes might and in that faith let us to the end dare to do out i duty as we understand it. Abra ham Lincoln. hy a Life HAS been saved by the prompt use of J Ayer's Pills. Travelers by land or sea are liable to constipation or other derangements of tho stomach and bowels which, if neglected, lead to serious and often fatal consequences. The most sure means of correcting these evils is the use of Ayer's Cathartic Pills. The prudent sailing-master would as soon go to ' sea without his chronometer as without a supply of these Pills. Though prom pt and energetic in operation, Ayer's Pills leave no ill effects ; they are purely . vegetable and sugar-coated ; the safest medicine for old and young, at home or abroad. " For eight years I was afflicted with constipation, which at last became so bad that the doctors could do no more for me. Then I began to take Ayer's Pills, ; and soon the bowels recovered . their natural and regular action, so that now I am in Excellent health." Mrs. C. E. Clark, Tewksbury, Massachusetts. "I regard Ayer's Pills as one of the most reliable general remedies of our times. They have been in use in my family for affections requiring a purgative, and have given unvarying satisfaction. We have found them an excellent remedy for colds and light fevers." W. R. Woodson, Fort Worth, Texas. " For several years I have relied more upon Ayer's Pills than upon anything else in the medicine chest, to regulate my bowels and those of the ship's crew. These Pills are not severe in tlu4r action, but do their work thoroughly. I have used them with good effect for the cure of rheumatism, kidney troubles, and dyspepsia." Capt. Mueller, Steamship Felicia, New York City. " I have found Ayer's Cathartic Pills to be a better family medicine for common use than any other pills within my knowledge. They are not only very effective, but safe and pleasant to tako qualities which must make them valued by the public." Jules Hauel, Perfumer, Philadelphia, Pa. Ayer's Pills, PREPARED BT Dr. J. C.
