In conclusion I would say thai after reading carefully the speeches made on the llth inst. I am more fully convinced than ever that we ha vesome at least occupyiugpositions where they might heof great service to the country, that fail to exert any influence for our good for the sole reason that they lack the brains and dignity of character which are an indispcnsible to that end.

The National Publishing Company of Philadelphia, Chicago. St. bonis and Dayton are doing a good work in this community by circulating among our people their magnificent IHcloiiat. J-'nmili/ llibtcx. This Is one of the most superb editions we have ever seen. The binding is elegant, tast< fill and substantial. ~-l- I- in tlx. In cf vll'1,1 l.llil the paper is of the III)est quality. Being determined that their Biblesslmll not he surpassed i>y any other edition in print, tiie publish) r- have added to it an abridgment of I?r. William Smith's great Dictionary of the Bible. This Is a complete book In itself, and would make an octavo volume of over six hundred iwiges. Its reputation as tin? best Kil>le lUctionuiy is worldwide, and each subscriber to tills Bible thus obtains Hfrrr. Another prominent feature Is n History of All the Religions in nominations of the World. These accourts are clear anil comprehensive, and are full of valuable information. The additional matter which accompanies the books of the Bible covers a wide tanne ol subjects and is exceedingly valuable. An accurate ami detailed description of the Holy I.and Is Riven, followed by an interesting description of Jerusalem and Its sacred places. The I.ife of the Saviour and the Lives of Ilia Apostles are also id veil /it considerable length, j'.nd in such a manner as to lie of treat service to every reader of the Bible. The Wanderings of the Israelites in the Wilderness are related, and the Tabernacle and Templearc described with great minuteness. Another feature to which we would call particular attention is a series of Scripture illustrations, remarkable for Its completeness. It embraces a series of comprehensive descriptions of the Manners and Customs of the Nations of the Ancient World, of Biblical Antiquities. Scenery, Natural History, etc., etc. Then follow a large number of chronological and other valuable tables designed to promote and facilitate the study of lh<? Sacred Scriptures. These tables aro so numerous that we have not space even to give their names. So full and complete is the additional matter of this mamiiliccnt edition of the Scriptures, that the most careful student of Clod's word, the most exacting seeker after truth will find all his wants supplied in this simile volume. The book is mwrnlflcontly Illustrated. It contains over tine engravings, many of which are by thegrcat artist, Ciuslave Bore. These engravings are genuine works of art. otiil tilo. It. .it .?f ^'Jll UXt rr?l<? great number ami high character of these engravings make this the most valuable art publication of the century. Between the Apocrypha and tlie Now Testament is a beautifully lithographed marriage certificate, which makes this Bible an especially appropriate wedding presonj. This is followed uy a handsome Family Itccord, consisting of four quarto pages, finely lithographed. At the end of the volume is a photo* graph album, with spaces for sixteen portraits. These magnificent Family Bibles are supopior to all others that wo have seen, in the following respects: They contain the largest and finest engravings! They have the richest and most durable bindings. They contain the finest paper and the best printing. They are the cheapest and most complete. and they sell faster than any other Family Bibles. ; The National Publishing Company's Bibles weigh from one to three pounds more than any other Family Bibles published in the ! Fnited states. This is proof positive that [ they are more solid and substantial than any other Bibles. It proves that they are printed on heavier paper, and bound with lieaviei and more durable material. They are pub lished in (ierrnan also. We cordially commend this Bible to oui readers, and hope it may find a place in evcrj family. It is one of the best I-amily Bible: ever published, and no home should be with out it. The price is astonishingly low, ani within the reach of all. It is solit by sub scription only, and Maj. John F. Osborne who is the authorized agent for this section is now canvassing for it.

She was the eldest of the seven daughters of the late Judge D. L.

The mother of seven children, four of them preceded her to the grave. She leaves a numerous connection, three surviving children, and a ' husband to mourn her irreparable loss.
