A PlenMiint Call. Mr. Berry Ben«on, of the Hartwell S>/ii, called at our sanctum last week, and we were gratified to learn from him that his paper was prospering. By the way, speaking of the Sun, it wouldn’t be out of place to say here, that Benson and Mcgill get up the newsiest and -spiciest paper that is published in the State. XV e would direct the attention of our merchants and business men who are seeking a medium for their wares, to the ad vertisement of this first-classed newsy Journal, which will be found in another column. O o KiorcclHong Concert. services Veld at l4e Baptist Church last XVednesday night was attentively listened to and enjoyed by the large congregation who had assembled in resposo to a religious notice that appeared ip this paper last Tuesday. It is well known that this church has one ot the finest choirs in the city, and this fact, togctlur with the announcement that they would devote the evening to sacred songs, was the- cause of bringing out, early in the evening, a large and fashionable crowd. The servi ces was opened by the readiug of a chapter from tho Bible andparyer by tlic uev. Mr. Campbell, and was fol lowed by some choice sacred songs by the choir which were beautifully and grandly rendered. The solas by Mis. Lamar Cobb, Mrs. J. XV Brumby, and Miss Gussic King were thrilling and wonderfully sweet. As these sacred song concerts have been set in motion by the Baptist Church we hopo that other denominations will wheel into line and give us just such another evening as wc enjoyed last Wednesday. DoonI Blend THe Il>im tod Business for I.udlcs. Our attention has been called to a new article for the use of ladies, the invention of which has conferred an everlasting blessing upon every lady.

Some thing to support ladies’ clothing is absolutely necessary. These sus penders arc recommended by our leading physicians to all ladies and young gii Is. Every lady should have them. They are 6old only through lady agents. A splendid opportunity is offered to some reliable lady can vasser of this county to secure the agency for a pleasant and profitable bus 7 ness.

The transporation for the party will be arranged by that genial and ac commodating gentleman, Mr. T. H. Henderson, who has a general Eu- ropean steamship agency in Macon. The party promises to be one of the most pleasant that will leave the State. Colonel Gorman has been to Europe several times and is perfectly familiar with the mode of travel in the old country, while Mr. Speer will, by his genial presence, add much to the pleasure of the voyage. Mr. Henderson has already arrang ed transporation for a feegd number from Macon and elaewhere.

A Great Illstorleal Work. The Pictorial History of the World, embra cing full and authentic accounts of every nation of ancient and modern times, and includir History of the rise and fall of the Greek and man Empires, the growth of the nations tf Modern Europe, the hfiddle Ages, the Crusades, the Feu- dul System, the Eeformation, the discovery and and settlement of the Few World, etc., etc., by James 1). McCabe. Published by The National Publishing Co., Philadelphia, Pa, Chicago, Ill St. Louis, Mo., and Dayton, Ohio. It is a well known fact that the great mass of tho people are compelled to rely, for their knowledge of history, upon the outline works intended for the use of schools, which by their very nature are brief and only designed for the comprehension of children. There has long been felt a genuine want of a more elaborate History of the World, covering the whole pe riod from the creation to the present day, and presenting in a succinct and entertaining from tlic history of the various nations of the \Vorld. This demand we lire happy to say is being met in “ The Pictorial Histcry of the 'World,” a work which is destined to take rank os a Stan dard History. It is from the pen of James B McCabe, a well-known historical writer, who bus devoted years of study and research to the >roduction ot this gnat work. The book is iterally what it professes to be—a complete History of tho World—for it gives a clear and concise account of every nation tbat has ever flourished upon the globe. The history of each country is related separately, and in the clearest and most comprehensive manner, and the deeds of all the great actors in the events of ancient and modern history are brought before the reader in the most vivid style. Ancient history ie related in full, and the account of the Middle Ages, the Crusades, and the great nations of modern times, are equally complete and inter esting. There is not s dry pag m the book. It is as fascinating as a romance, and at the same time one of the most valuable works of reference over published. We are constantly called upon to discuss the great questions of history, and the wars and quaiTcls of the nations of the old World require ue to-be continually refresh ing onr histoncal knowledge. So many discov eries hire reoently been made, so many of the eld ideas aud traditions have been exploded end tihown to be mure myths and legends, that the aubiect of histocy may be said to be almost entirely new,' and he who was well informed tiraety years ago will find himselt unable to discourse intelligibly npon historical subjects now unless he has kept up with the advance historical research. The mechanical execution of tho book folly sustains the high reputation of the publisher. It oontaina I860 large double-column pages, and over 650 fine engravings, illustrating the events recorded in the engravings in this book are genuine works qf art, and were made at a coat of over $22,000.
