Dr. Livingstone's New Book.

This work has been looked for with the greatest interest. Up to the day of his death the doctor kept, his records—during the last few weeks writing them with the red juice of berries across the face of old newspapers. These records were in part brought home, closely sealed, by Stanley. The remainder were brought by his faithful attendants, who, at his death., embalmed his body, transported it hundreds of miles on their shoulders and accompanied it to England. It is the most wonderful book of the age, and we are glad to know that the American Publishing L'dmpany, of 118 Randolph street, Chicago, have brought it out in a popular form, beautifully illustrated, and“at a price within the reach of all. ft must sell with grrat rapidity, and we know of no other book so good for an agent to work on. It is sold only by subscription. Johnson’s Anodyne Liniment will give more relief in cases of Chronie Rheumatism, no matter how severe, than any other article known to medical men. Used internally and externally. ' —__ It is often remarked by strangers visiting our State that we show a larger proportion of good horses than any other State in the Union. This, we tel! !!.■ m, is owing to two principal reasons: in tin- first place, we breed from the very best stock; and in the second place, our people use Sheridan's Cavalry Condition I’owders, which in our judgment are of incalculable rah milage.

Sweet-Scented Flowers. —A correspondentAif the London Gardener's Magazine says: Being engaged in laying out and planting new grounds and a pleasure garden around a gentleman’s residence, I was asked to plant as many sweet-scented flowers as possible. I had to ransack my memory for the materials to enable me to do as desired. On cogitating over flowers and their odors I was at once struck by finding that the greatest numbers of sweet-scented flowers are white, and out of all proportion to the sweet-scented kinds in other colors; yellow comes next; reds and blues are somewhat on a par, and their various shades follow the types, but the nearer they approach to white the more they are scented. According to the Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia TYmcs Senator Jones, of Nevada, has recently had a little experience in Wall street. The story goes that the Senator got about $300,000 ahead by buying and bulling the stock of a railroad in which he was director. Jay Gould let him have the stock as fast, as he was ready to buy, and when the Senator had completely loaded up with the stuff Gould took his scalp as neatly as Red Cloud himself could have done. The Senator now figures up a balance of $700,000 on the Jay Gould side of this operation. ■ . ’ A cqlleoe “ for girls only’’ is in course of erection at Northampton, the funds being provided by the will of a lady who died at Hatfield two years, ago. So exclusively feminine is the college to be that no masculine member of the human family is to be admitted within the inclosure either in the character of porter or professor. The buildings would have been built by women if any could have been found capable of doing the work. The founder’s name was Smith; and it is scarcely necessary to add that she never had occasion to change it. Spotted Tail is going to write a book. Title: “Tail-of a wagon tongue.”

A Word in Season. —Health is a ffie-s. ing which comparatively lew elffdy in all its fullness. Those endowed by nature with robust .frames and vigorou.s constitutions bliould lie ciueful not to trifle with them. When we enter the seasons of periodic fern* the increased heat of the sun develops a miasma which pervades the air. The evil is inextinguishable : our duty to guard against it is imperative!
