AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten byiho ablest writers on every
subject Printed; from new tyde, and illustrate
ed ■with Several Thousand Engravings and
Ma\>8.
The work originally published under the title
of The New American Cydopiedia was completed
in 1863, since which time the wide circulation it
has attained in all parts of the United States, and
the mgnsl developments which have taken place in
every branch of science, literature, and art, have
induced the editors and publishers to submit it to
an exact and thorough revision, and to. issue a
new edit’on entitled The Ametucan Cyclopae
dia.
Within, the last ten years the progress of dis
covery hi;. every* department of knowledge has
made a new work of reference an imperative
*an!
Tlie movement of political affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful
application to the industrial and useful arts and
tlw convenience and refinement of social life.—
Great uar« and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of. peculiar
moment. The civil war. of our own country,
which was at its height'when the last volume i f
tho old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and a new course of commercial and industrial
activity has been commenced.
Large accession* to our geographical knowl
edge have been made by the indefatigable explor
ers of Africa, -v.’-'G „
The great political revolutions of me last de
cade, with'the' natural result of the lapse of time,
hive broi'ght into public view a‘multitude of now
men, whose names, are in every one’s mouth, aud.
or whose lives every one is curious to know the
particulars. Great battles have been fought and
important seiges maintained, of which the -de
tails are as yet preserved only in newspapers 01
in the transient publications of the day, but
Which now ought to take their places in perma
nent and authentic history.
In preparing the present edition for the press,
Jt has accordingly been the aim of tlie editors to
bring down the information to the latest possible
dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the.
meet recept discoveries in science; of every fresh
production in literature, and of the newest inven
tions in the practical arts, as well as to give a
succinct and original record of the progress ol
| political and historical events.
The work lias been begun after long and. care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources for carrying it on to a successful termi
nation,
None of the original stereotype' plates have
wen used, but every page has been printed on
hew type, forming in fact a new. Cyclopaedia,
with the same plan and compass as its predecssor,
«ut with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, ai d
with such improvements in its composition as
“*ve been suggested by longer experience and
enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which are introduced for. the
first time in the present edition have been added
hot for the sake of pictorial effect, hut to give
greater lucidity and l'ofce to tlie explanations in
the text. They embrace all branches of science
and of natural history, and depict the most fa
mous and remarkable features of scenery, ardii-
tecture, aud art, as well as the various processes
of mechanics and manufactures. Although in

gia, the land of our childhood, how
we love her! . How it nerves our lit ai t
for the strife, to feel the assurance
that, she, our mother, is looking to
wards us with parental care and anx
iety; tliat she shaies oar oppression,
and will share our success.
I need not enter-into a detailed
history of onr wrongs. They are as
familiar to every intelligent American
citizen as household words. In 1872
we elected our State ticket by a bund
some majority, but the will of Ihe
people was defeated by the midnight
order of a drunken U. S. Judge, aid
ed by the bayonets of the federal.
Empire. A govern ment that was no
toriously defeated in a fair election
wus fastened upon us against our will
and consent; which we have never rec
ognized, except when forced to do so
by Federal authority. The nsuFpi^
tion has never been more thun a bub
ble or mushroom without the protect-
ting arm of Grant. Never has pos
sessed a single feutuse of a govert -
ment. Never has possessed the : pow
er, within itself, of enforcing its au
thority. Congress.haviug failed to re
lieve the oppressed people of Louisi-
uuu from the usurper's grasp, he felt
himself secure.
Kellogg, with the courts subject to
his will,-the Legislature at his com
mand, and, above all, with Emperor
Grant at his back, felt himself equal
to any emergency. He attempted
what Ihe Czor of Russia would hai-dly
have dared to \b>—to seize the private
arms of peaceable citizens. In this
attempt he demonstrated the fact that
we have been for. two years trying to
impress upon the nation: That with
out Federal interference the usurpa
tion could not last an hour. Tliat he
was not Governor of Louisiana, but a
military satrap,—tlie tool of a heart
less tyrant. That he derived his pow
er, not from the consent of the gov
ernment, but from the iron will of
Ulysses the 1st. Iu one short half
hour his Pretorian Guard were swept
away—melted like the dew of morn.—
Kellogg was a cowardly, trembling
refugee in the Custom Honse, without
a shadow of authority or power.—
Stripped of his de facto robe of purple,
that he had clasped around his skulk
ing shoulders with Federal bayonets,
he once more calls upon his creator
for the restoration of his lost majesty
his fallen sceptre.
Keliogg, or check his id famous ad
ministration. But this hope was soon
obliterated by an act of the legisla-
ture that placed unlimited power-in
the hands of the supervisors of regis
tration and the returning, boarila. and
these were filled with infamous polit-
cnl partisans of Kellogg. They have
the power to reject the application of
any person for registration, aud. of
throwing out any box or poll that they
choose, and their decision is final.
We demanded that the boards lie
filled by an equal number of both par
ties, but our demands were spnrued
aud rejected, ur Opeople seeing the
deteru i lation of the usurper to again
rob us of our votes, and to .defeat, the
will of the people, and being driven
to desperation, demanded his abdica-
The modern Nero, true to the
promptings of his nature, to support
those who support him, steps boldly
to the front, issues his grand edict,
and in defiance of the constitution,
law, justice and common humanity,
again forces upon an unwilling people
an infamous, dastardly- usurpation
When Congress failed to give us as
sistance, there was but one ray of
hope left us. We are*to have an elec-
tiqn.in November to elect Representa

get a good majority we might impeach

When the wires flashed the intelli
gence throughout onr. state that the
usurpation was-orerthrown; and that,
the reins of authority had passed into
the hands of the executive chosen by
the people, there was a universal
reign of joy.' The faces of all were
beaming with happiness, with patriot

Minden, La. Oct. 10th. 1874,
S ntho:n Gcverno s,
Six Southern "States have' recently
been thrown in£o some confusion by
strife or fears "of it. In -Eoiiisiuna,
Kdllogg, a Republican usurper, prov
ed utterly prwerless, aud had to send
for the federal bayonets which origin
ally foisted him upon a long suffering
people. In Mississippi, Ames, a,Re
publican carpet-bagger, was so scared
by a cock-and-bull story of t ouble in
Vicksburg that he hastily t< 1 .graphed
for federal troops, was instantly re-
bnffed, and became the laughing stock
•)f the country. In South Carolina,
Moses has just passed through the
same experience. While these three
Governors, who have nobackiug from
the wealth, or the intelligence, or the
Honesty of the States over whinh they
domineer, have beitn proving their
helpless inefficiency, their utter ina
bility to execute the State laws with-,
out federal aid. three oilier Southern
governors, placed iu circumstances
more trying than those of Arnes und
Moses, have been showing what an
executive who really represents the
people can do. In Georgia, Govern
or Smith had to deal with a danger
nus disposition to send troops to help
the New Orleans citizens. A few hu
morous and satirical speeches by the
Governor finished the feeling. In
Kentucky, Gevernor Leslie has called
a special session of two county courts;
has asked the judges to keep steadily
at work punishing outlaws for six
mouths, if uecessary, and has placed
at their disposal militia in sufficient
numbers to make necessary :arrests
aed enforce sentences,. The resnU is
the sudden diminution in the erime.-i
that have been disgracing the state.—
Turner’s boy ran away; Carter com
menced building;a new pair of front-
steps; Miller’s wife tried'to get trust
ed fora carpet; Anderson’s daughter
passed young Dennison on the street
without speaking to him, and various
otherlitfle incidents of the day?’
There was Polly Perkins; everybody
said she was dying for a man, and
they shamefully mis-stated her mo
tives. I took a little inteiest in find
ing-out the -facts and setting her
right is my own estimation. Where
they stated she ; had walked fourteen
miles to get a fellow to go home with
her from a protracted meeting, I found
the distapee only ten miles, and the
going good at that. There they had
gone and put four miles oh to that
.statement, and were trying to bins
the public mind, when tlie real truth
w:is as handy to get at as a hat on a
peg. Then they said she had boasted
of having refnsed 35 offers; I investi
gated and found the number was on
ly 34. One man on a list of marriage
offers makes a big difference, but the
gossips insisted on perverting the
truth.
' Tkere was Augusta Ratlibone—an
other quiet, mild-lempered single fe
male. They said she had proposed
marriage to seven different men, when
the. real, number was.only. five. Then
they said she Had once sued-a’man for
breach of promise, nud settled it for
nineteen dollars and a half. The gos
sips also charged her with hiding un
der a shed for two hours to see if- a
certain man left a certain house where
there was a certain pretty girl, at;
certain hour. This story went Ml
over the village, mnch to her detri
ment, until X went to work, aiid elic
ited the truth. I fonnd that she nev
er hid under a shed at all—it was uu
der a one-horse- wagon,..and She got a
sore throat, nnd hud to wear a red rag
around her throat for nearly six
weeks.
Let me rocall also the sad manner
iu which Symantha Evergreen was
persistently maligned. They said she
went-to a protracted meeting for the
sole purpose of trapping the minister,
who was a. single man. I went' right
to her nnd got tho truth—she didn't
care a copper for the minister, it was
Deacon .Smith she was after. They
said she knew everybody’s business
in tlie town, aud I went to work to
nail that lie. Come to find out, she
didn’t kno"w any such thiug. There
was a new family just arrived the day
before, and all she knew about them
was that they had four childr. a, three
dogs, two cats, three cov/s. one horse,
a wagon,- -three 'bed-steads, -seven
chairs, an old-fashioned .bureau, a
lounge, a blue-edgeil.set of crockery,
tasteing liniment on them, and are az
eazy to struggle with az a sugar plum.

darker than before, so the sunshine of
happiness,—of relief that dawned for
a while upon the oppressed, d ■ v u

beclouded; darkened. Ptspair, dark

\\ T e have exhausted all our means
of releif. We can do nothing more,
but make the best of our situation.
If we eau have anything like a fair
election, we will carry the state by a
’arge majority
ers with vigor.’ Rewards Lave been
set upon their heads. Some of them
have been already arrested; und one
of them has been induced to turn
State’s evidence, There is a good pros
peet of the conviction of the wjole-
gang. Such decisive action by the
state authorities has put a sudden stop
to the ombrenk of race -hatred, which
tho civil rights bill threatened- to
cahse. 'Tennessee, is at peace, and
white and black are safe within her
borders.
The sharp contrast between ths ac
tion of these two trios of Governors
may well excite suspicion, even in loy
al Republican breasts,- whether it is
worth while to keep on endorsing and
sustaining southern, governors, who
sit on federal can nqn and keep » row
of federal bayonets between them
selves and their constituents in. orde:
to stay in power.—Chicago Tribune.

She is not an angell iho, and i hope
she wont never go into the angell

The only mistake that woman has ev

tosi, placed as high as the top of
Mont Blanc, the inhabitants of which
feel no inconveqjence. The highest
inhabited spot in the world is, howev
er, the Budbist cloister 'f the Hanle,
in Thibet, where twenty-one priests
live at an altitude of 16,000 feet.
The brothers - Scblagiusweit, when
they explored the glaciers of Ibi-Ga-
min in the same country, encamped
at 21,000 feet, the highest altitude at
which a European “ever passed the
night. Even at the top of Mont
Blanc, Prof. Tyndall’s guides found
it very unpleasant to do this, though
the Professor himself.did not confess
to feeling as bad as they. The high
est mountain in the world is Mount
Everest (Himalyi), 29,003 feet, and
the condor has been seen “winging
the blue air” 500 feet higher. The
ah-, by the by, is not “blue” or else,
as De Saussure pointed out, “the dis.-
tant mountains which are covered with
snow would appear bine also;” its ap
parent color being due to the reflection
of the light. What light can do, and
does, is marveluns; and not the least
is the power of its attraction to hu
manity.

Two farmers living on adjoining
farms in Gir.ird township, Erie coun
ty, have for years been unfriendly on
acconnt of tbe disagreement about the
line fences wliieh separated their lands,
both claiming the ten feet lane that
formerly run between the two places.
Their children have grown np inher
iting their parents' animosity, and
their eldest sons have several- times
been subpoenaed as witnesses in law
suits which have grown out of this dif
ficulty. The case had been a sort of
suit in chancery, having run ou from
year to year, both men Bpending their
money in lawyers’ fees without any
legal conclusion.
Abont a year ago the two farmers
awoke on Monday morning to find
that each had lost a child,, one his
youngest sou, and the other an only
daughter. Like the houses of Mon
tague and Capulet, in “Romeo and
Juliet,” the scious of the two rival
houses had secretly cherished a fond
ness for each other, and knowing the
feud between the families, without di
vulging their passions or intentions
they met clandestinely and earned
into effect the elopement.
A week passed, ai| the end. of which
the father of the runaway daughter
was called on to go to Erie an* 1 attend
again the everlasting lawsuit. He
went early to the office of the lawyer,
and taking up one of the weekly pa
pers, read the marriage notice of Em
ma. It was a terrible blow, and he
went out into the yard to try to walk
offhis excitement. Ail that passed
ihrongh the old gentleman's mind is
not known, but there seemed to be a
desperate straggle within, which re
sulted in his returning to the law
yer’s office and postponing the bus
iness. Then he drove directly to his
farm ana had a long private inter
view with his -fife; then he did what
he had not done for twenty -years—
went over and called on his enemy.—
He was fonnd sick, having been con
fined to bis room since the abandon
ment of his favorite son. Both the
two farmers met, and both for a few
minutes stood face to face iu profound
silence.
