AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every
Bubject Printed from now tyde, ahdTlinstrat-'
ed with Soveral Thousand Engravings and
Maps.
the wort originally published .under the title
of The New American-Cyclopiedia was completed
In 1863, since which time the wido circulation it
has attained in all parts of the United States, and
the Bignol developments which havc'taken place in
every branch of science, literature, and art, have
induced the editors and publishers to submit itto
an exact and thorough revision, and to issue a
new edition entitled The Amebican Cycloice-
dia. . '
Within the last ten years the progress of : dis
covery in every department of knowledge has
made a now wort of reference an imperative
want.
The movement of political affiurshas kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful
application to the industrial and useful arts and
tha convenience and refinement of social life.—
'Great ware and . consequent revolutions have oc
curred,involving uatiohal-changes of "peculiar
moment The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume of
the old work appeared', has happily been ended,
and a new course of commercial and industrial
activity has been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical knowl
edge have been made by the indefatigable explor
ers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last de
cade, with tho natural result of the lapse ol time,
have brought.iuto public view a multitude of Bow
men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and
of 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 newspapors or
ia 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,
it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bringdown the information to the latest possible
dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the
Best recent discoveries in science, of every fresh
produttioa >n literature, and of the newest inven
tions ffi the pr&Waci arts, as well as to give a
sneeinst sail original rccorn- Pf the progress-of
political and feistpricAi'eventa.
The work has Lftin begun after long and care
ful preliminary )ibar, and. with the most ample
resouroeatEor carrying ii on to" a successful termi-
natlo'n.
None of the original -stereotype, plates. have
tees used, but every psga has been printed on
«Vw type, forming in fact-a new Cycropmdia,
with tiie same plan and compavs-as its predecssor,
but with a far greater peesmiaryexpenditure, ai.d
with such improvements in its composition as
have been suggested by longer experience and
enlarged knowledge.
Tho illustrations which are introduced for the
first time-in the present edition have been added
not for the sake of pictorial effect, hut to give
greater lucidity and fofee to the explanations in
the text. They embrace ail branches of science
and of natural history, and depict the most fa
mous and remarkable features of scenery, archi
tecture, and art, as well as the various processes
of mechanics and manufactures. Although in
tended for instruction rather than embellishment
bo pains have been spared to insure their artistic
excellence; the cost of their axccution is enor
mous, and it is believed they will find a welcome
reception as an admirable featnro of the Cyclo-
Pmdi*, and wortny of its lngh character.
This work is sold io Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. ' It will be completed
in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fnly illustrated with several
thousand Mood Engravings, and with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.

will not veto a bill to pay them. I
say the man to ran for Governor who
it is known, will favor the saddling of
this robbery, on the people, is already
selectetj, and the wires are being pal
led for the purpose of securing Ris
nomination by the Democrats for the
next ; term. And, unless the people
snail make this bond matter a direct
issue in the next -ele.ction, and utterly
refuse to vote for any man for the
Legislature or for- Governor, either in
nominating conventions or at the polls,
who is not beforehand unequivocally
pledged against' paying the repudia
ted bonds, this plundering ring will
alarm all men who wish to enjoy the
fruits of their honest toil.
I do not know that it would be' be
coming in me to make any special ad
dress or appeal to the people,- or to
“raise my warning voice” against the
impending dithgei • I am not an ora-
cle in the land, bnt an humble citi
zen just as otherpeople. L therefore,
simply state tlie fact, through your
coluinns, that the programme of the
bond ring is, in part, to secure
Legislature and a -Governor who -will
fasten this unjust uud oppressive load
upon us and our children aud grand
children for many years to come, and
that the man whom they prefer, for
Governor is already selected, and is
an aspirant. The people can either
take warning and never let their vigi
lance cease, or they can close thc-ir
eyes and let the ring do their work.—
I have done all I prep, so to do, in
simply stating a fact, and I simply
state iliis fact because I am unwilling
for-my-ielf aud my child ran to be tax
ed to pay tlie«e unjust bonds.
H. I. Kimball lias come b .ck to
Georgia to secure the payment of
those bonds. This is his main—his
chief object. He may not take any
notice of t e charge I make, or he
may denounce it in unmeasured terms
and in choicest epithets. It is imma
terial to me wlial may be his course.
I have already shown that his state
ments are unworthy of credit; indeed,
this needed not to be shown to the
great mass of tlie • eople. No un
prejudiced, intelligent man, who h;is
no interested, motive prompting him
and also regards his own good name,
can endorse Kimball’s truthfulness,
honor or integrity.
To-day a eitizen of Atlanta* said
with some emphasis: “I don't see why
such a cry is raised against Kimball.
The grand juries of this county, to my
knowledge, have tried to find some
thing against him and failed. I had
a very large amount of. business trans
actions with him, and I was only the
agent of another, and running through
along period of time, and I never saw
the slightest inclination on his part to
ask or desire-auy thing that was not
exactly right. I believe he is honest;
and if any one had presented that pe
tition to me I would'make the man
who dared to question my motive 1 suf
fer for it!”
This was said, not only with em
phasis, but with an air of triumph.
“See here,” said a listener, “don’t
you think Kimball knew Bullock and
Blodget and their “.corrupt legislature
were defrauding^ the people by tlie
million?”
“I admit that”’
‘Then, was it honest in him to in
fluence or induce that gang of plunder
ers to issue, snd place in his hands to
be disposed of bonds and obligations
of the State, known by him and every
body else to be illegally issued-, and
then go and dispose of, dr pretend to
dispose of them, and want us to pay
for them? Is that honest;”
The man saw his dilemma and be
gan to hesitate, and to say something,
evading the issue.
“Come, came,” said his interroga
tor, “answer me squarely and candid
ly, like an honest man; was such con
duct as that honest?"
“I must say I think it was not.”
“And don’t you: believe Kimball
did that very thing?”
“Iam not prepared to deny it; it
seemsffrom the- records, tLat .he did;
but then wily has he never been pros
ecuted for it? Won't our laws take
hold of and punish such ooaduotl”
“That is a question to which yon
can give answer as well as L I wish
to ask you again if you. thiuk it was
honest in Kimball to negotiate, sell,
and use the proceeds of those notes
plainly-yon have impressed me as I
never was"before. I confess the mat
ter never was. presented to me in that
light before. I must say candidly that
X cannot endorse him in this way as
an honest man—what ever may. hawe
been my previous views and feelings.
I mnst thank you for what yon have
said. Yon have s-dd it kindly and
candidly, I-feel the force of "it.”
All of which is respectfully submit
ted to your readers by your humble
servant who was a deeply interested
listener.

A movement to secure tho building
of a Granger’s railway from East to
West is referred to in the following
terms by the Chicago Inter-Ocean of
the 7tli inst. • “Yesterday a meeting
was held in this dity, which was com
posed of Eastern, Western and South
ern capitalists, aud in which there was
great unanimity in the project.-
Whether or not the meeting was com
posed entirely' of Grangers or not
cannot be sta e.1, so qniet was the*
matter kept. There is abundant cap
ital aud all the influence necessary
the movers suv, to make the scheme
a success, and no efforts will be spar
ed. It is proposed to make a through
double-track line from the Atlartic to
the Pacific.. It is not proposed, how
ever, to construct it all the way, but
by io .u ctions the projectors know
they can get to accomplish their de
signs. Whether the Boston scheme
has anything to do with this 1 cannot
yet be learned, bnt it is believed that,
it lias. Numerous ‘excursion parties’
have been visiting Illinois recently,
and it is given out that the object is
to investigate into the feasibility of
the matter. The gentlemen now here
will remain for several d ys, and will
probably bold another meeting to-day,
at which a delegation expected from
the Pacific coast may be present. It
is noticeable that several of the East
ern railroad kinas are in Chicago.”
Skeleton Leaves.
Leaves to be skeletonized shoud be
gathered only in dry weather, should
also be perfectly matured, July aud
August being the best months to
gather them. Among the choicest
varieties are vine, poplar, beech and
ivy leaves. Dissolve four ounces of
washing soda in one quart of boiling
water; add two ounces of slacked
quicklime, and boil fifteen minutes;
allow this to cool; then pour off the
clear liquor into a clean saucepan,
and when at the boiling point place
the leaves in carefully and boil one
hour, boiling water should be added
occasionally to supply that . lost by
evaporation. If after boiling one
hour the cellular tissue does not rub
off between the thumb and finger;
boil them till it will, always placing
the leaves in cold water io seperate the

Whips.—Beat the whites of four
j eggs to a froth; take a pint and a half
of good cream, sweetened with fine
white sugar, beat well together, flavor
with Iwine, lemon or. almond, and serve
in smu.l glasses.
Imitation Lemon Siktr.—Four
ounces powdered tartaric acid, two
drachms oil of lemon; keep in a vial
for a month. A tablespoonful of this
in a pint of water, sweetened with su
gar, makes six glasses of lemonade.
Summer'Beverage.—Ten drops' of
sassafras, ten drops oil of spruce, ten
drops of wintergreen. two quarts of
boiling water poured on two large
spoonfuls of cream tartar. Then add
eight quarts cold water, three gills of
distillery yeast, or twice as much
home-made; sweeten to taste.
Simple Ginger Beer.—One great
spoonful of ginger, one cream tartar,
one pint of home-made yeast, one pint
of molass#3 and six quarts of water.
When it begins to ferment, bottle it
tight, Heady for use in eight hours.
Open carefully, as it “pops like cham

add water enough to make two gal
lons in the entire quantity. Add six

Adventure in Germany.
Mr. Henry Loessner, of this city,
with eight hundred soldiers, but re :
mained an inactive spectator of the
massacre of the Christians of Naih-
Duong, onlva few of whom were
able to escape.
THE LITERATES,
who were the heads of the militia ap
pointed to massacre the Cliistians, say
that the work ®f extermination car
ried out under the, eyes of mandarins
was concerted between the court and
the literatess-, and was done in repri
sal for recent events. The mandarins
have just received orders from the
-coffft'riot to employ any other means
save-those of persuasion to stop the
murderers in their career. One of
the chiefs, who had just caused two
Christians to be murdered on the
high road, went on the parade before
the governor of the citadel, by whom
he was dismissed with honor. On his
retnm twenty women and children
fell under the sword of this man and
bis followers. He had just come
from offeriug sacrifice to the goddess
of prostitution, to whom a famous
temple that stands near the road is
dedicated.
MODE OF TORTURE AND DEATH.
In several lucalit- es they take an
entire family—father, mother and
children—bind them together with
bamboos, and then fliug the bundle
or humanity into the waves. Frist,
however, they take care to cut off the
man’s head. . The multitude of dead
bodies thus fastened together in
groups of from eight to ten block up:
’tlie principal river; but to the great
surprise of everybody, does not send
forth any bad smell. There are then
five parishes, containing 10,000 Clip
tiaus which have to be blotted out of
the mission, namely, Lang-Thank-
Hnyen, Naih-Duoiig, Hoy-Yen, and
Doreg-Taank.
“Many of the victims died in the
midst of flames. A village of more
uhan four hundred Christians was ate
tacked by the literates, and soon be,
came'a, prey to the flames. Among
these four hundred Christians there
were one hundred and twenty, mote
or less, who succeeded in saving them
selves by taking refuge in a large vil
lage, nearby. The remainder about
three hundred were nearly all massa
cred. Two small villages of Chris
tians, sitnafed about two hours walk
from the placb at Which I then was,
were hemmed in by . the pagans. The
Mayor visited each house, numbered
the Christians and forbade them un
der tne threats of severe punishment
to go out of doors. A few of the
Chistian women attempted-to. go to
market to keep themselves’from starv

“ ‘Alas,” writes Archbishop Gau
thier, from wiiom letter this informa
tion is chiefly derived, “I could do
nothing but weep for them, being
unable to do anything to succor them!’
Two-or three days afterwards I leam-
c*ri that all the men in the village had
had their heads cat off, hat the' wo

as their, houses were intermingled

The "Meaning the of Result.
The results of the recent elections
in the Sou th. mnst have some influ
ence upon the policy of both the Re-
publican and the Democratic parties,
and npon the conduct of the various
aspirants for the office of President.
These results mean that the South
ern States," till but two of them, will
cast a solid vote against any candidate
for the Presidency who is in favor of
the civil rights bilL It has hitherto
seemed to be almost impossible to
open the eyes of the Northern people
to the. state of feeling among the
whites .of the South on this subject.
While rather opposed to any such
measure ns the one in question, oqr
Northern “brethren” have no doubt
thought it would prove a rod with
winch to puuish the Southern people
for their “rebellion” against the gov
ernment. The impression was gener
al, also, that it was necessary to pass
it in order to prevent the negroes
from deserting tile Republican party.
The white republicans were omitted
from the dalchlatioh altogether. Of
all the Northern leaders, Gen. Grant
is almost th j, only one whose record
is not blurred by his course upon this
question. But the Southern people
have spoken, and they are almost un
animous in their opposition to this
hateful measure. What shall bs done
now? We are inclined, to hope Con
gress may conclude .to let the civil
rights bill alone, and try to do some :
thing for the benefit \of -.the white
people of the South: We hope, also
believe, that Gen. Grant will be
strengethenccl in his purpose to veto'
that bill if shold be. passed by Con?

To Purify a Room.
Set a pitcher of water in a room,
and in a few honrs it will liave absorb
ed all the respired gasses in the room,
the air of which will become purer
but the wateu filthy. The colder the
water is, the greater the capacity is to
contain these gases. In an ordinary
temperatnre a pail of water, will con
tain a pint, of carbonic acid and sever
al pints of ammonia. The capacity
is nearly doubled by reducing" tlie wa
ter to the ten p nature of ice. Hen -e,
water kept in a room a while is always
unfit for use. For the same reason
the water of a pump should always be
pumped out in the morning before
any of it -is nsed. Impure water is
more injurious than impure air.
