Colombia, B. C??? March 90.???Colonel R. Briton
Tollcron, a prominent lawyer and politician of San
Francisco, bu been In Columbia for the put few
days. He hu daring the put two months called
upon upward of five hundred of the most promi
nent public men In bis own state and In neuly all
of the southern states. He says that he hu been
enabled to ascertain the sentiment tn various'states
touching the next presidential election. In Geor
gia, Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina
and Kentucky he found mony advocates ofTUden,
many who think that the Ucket ot 1878 Is the only
one which Is likely to be suecesful In the next can-
test. "All these states," he said, "lean safelyclalm
or Tllden." "Have you encountered anywhere
any opposition to the old ticket, coloneir" I uked.
Yes, I find In Louisiana and South Carolina a
strong feeling sgatnat Tllden penontlly. In the
former Hancock Is the favorite; in the Utter nearly
everybody Is for Bayard. But! notice even fn thete
???UM a growing sentiment for the only Ueket thst
can be elected, and when Use necessity for nominat
ing Tllden and Hendricks becomes apparent the
feeling will ripen Into genuine enthusiasm and
nothing ean stem the onsrard march of oar partr to
victory. Why I feel absolutely certain that nobody
whom the republicans can poesfbly select u their
nominees ean defeat the Tltden-Hcndricks combi*
nation. Why, the ticket will be Invincible. There
U something else I have observed, and It U not de
void of significance J net now. I refer to the feeling
which prrmtates tbe mass of democrats on tbe sub
ject fil the Uriff. Nine of ten men with whom 1 have
Ulked about It declare that the Uriff question
should no} be made an issue fn the coming canvass;
that ft should be left severely alone, beet nee noth
ing can be done In this line at present. Many oat-
spoken free traders bold this opinion. My own Idea
U that the convention will not adopt any tariff
plank In the platform. Prom what I hare non and
heard Utely I fad certain of one thfng-Tildtn ttrfU
be nominated by acclamation as soon u the con
vention assembles. Thete won???t be any 'dark horse'
In this rite.*."

BtJMMAnY OX* TXXHn BOOKS.
???IvanhOG.??????This is the noblest of tho Wavcrly novels. It is dramatic, stirring, histori
cal, and deals with the crusades of tho Knights of Europe for tha lovo of Christ against
Saladin and his followers. It Is a pageant of heroin battles, sieges and tournaments.
Oliver Twist.???The neatest work of Dickens???full of humor and tho pathos of that
matehlesa writer. Mothers and fathers the world over havo wept over the story of little
Oliver. This book is a revolution.
Swiss Family Robinson.???The adventures of a Swiss clergyman and hla family
wrecked on a desert Island. The book ranka with fioblnson Crusoe, and shows what
heroism and patience can do. The description of tho heme In tho giant tree and the
adventures with strange animals is incomparable.
Children Of tho Abboy,???Next to Robinson Crnaoo and one or two other book*
more conics ot this pure, pathetic and noble story have been sold than of any other
book printed. *
Last Of tho Mohicans.???Of all tha Indian books, none equal thli in iptenso interest
and beauty. Tho marvellous aklll and prowess of Hawkeye. the woodcraft of tho Indi
ans, the desperate lights in the forest,???the lofty beauty of the whole book is worthy of
Cooper and the Leather Stocking Tsljs ot which it is first and best.
Robinson Crusoo.???Of this great book it la useltas to apeak. It is the clsssio of tha
world. The man, woman or child who fails to retd it misses the rarest of treats.
20,000 Leagues Under tho Sea.???Tho sensation crested by this greatest ot???
Jules Verne???s works is indescribable. It is tho story of a man who Invented an elcctrio
boat in which he lived under the ocean. Hta journeys under tho sea. his conflicts with
submarine monsters ore of thrilling interest, and hold (he mind enchained.
Pilgrim???S Progress.???Of this work of Immortal John Runyan we need say nothing.
it should be on tho table ol every Christian home.
ThO Scottish Chiefs.???The strugglesof Bruce and Wallace and (heir bravo compan
ions is told by Miss Porter in a book of surpassing interest. Every page has its chapter
of noble and heroio action.
Tho Arabian NlKhtS.???The 1000 stories of Eastern magnificence and adventure are
here envolumed and make enough reading for every night for a year.
Those are hooks to be read aloud by any member of (lie family to alt tbe other*; they
will interest ill and weary or nflend none.

A WORD IN CLOSING ???'
??? **-*f??< J
Now one word in closing to our readers.
Every father wants to give his children the best advantages possible to his circumstances.
Nothing improves young people so much as judicious reading. Nothing is pleosantc- for
middle life or old age than the reading of interesting books. There is no amusement purer
and more ennobling than to have the father or mother or one of the sons or daughter* read u
chapter each night or two or three nights in the week, in the family.
It is the earnest desire of the Constitution to give its readers all Ihe reading they want at
lower prices than it can be had elsewhere and this we intend to do. We have boughflO.OOO
copies of these books st one order. We get them cheaper by taking thia number at once and
pitying cash than any hook store can get them. The regular price, aa you will see on the
covers is $1.00 in New York???to which postage is added. We nil them to yon at cost price,
adding simply the postage and cost of handling. Yon cannot buy them anywhere for less
limn $1.15 delivered, and usually $1.4(f. They are printed on clear, big, new type and canb*
read by old or young; und hound stoutly in black and gold cloth so that they will last.
Now you can aflonl to gratify yourself and yoar family by buying at least ono of thes*
books. Seventy cents is but little for such a book. If you are in a club, persuade other
members of the club to buy other books. You can then lend to each other and thus have a
good library for each neighborhood. Each book is a masterpiece and filled with pure sent!,
ment and thrilling interest. They will ennoble the minds of children, interest and instruct
them???give the keenest pleasure to each member of your family, and make your homes
happier and brighter.
We want to put the Constitution Library into every village and neighborhood in the
.Southern States. When we have exhausted this order we will make up 10 new books and
start another aeries.
Order at once. We guarantee that either of the books will please you, and cost Jaet hall
list you would pay ehewhere. Select one of the books, send 70 cents and we will eend it to
you postpaid and nicely wrapped.
