The amount of matter will somew hat ii'xceed that of the K Iti 1 lii'hipi'iliiis of Ap- or Johnson, though the price is but a fraction of their cost. Volume 1 is to he ready early in September, and the others will follow at very short in tervals. The remarkably low prices are accounted for bv the method of sale, to the subscribers direct, saving them the large commission, often .30 or 00 per cent., paid to aganls or dealers: all, bv the recent great reduction in the cost A making hooks, and by making very large sales.

The following communication dated August 19th, arrived too lnty for insertion in our last is sue : ‘•That, our esteemed friend, “Felix” of Lost Mountain, may that we still live in this mundane region we will give you some of the doings arround our wide-awake little village. We have splendid crops of corn, in deed the best since the late war. The recent heavy rains have damaged the cotton crop as well as done an immcnce amount of damage to the mill property of the surrounding county. Our old friend Mark Fallen and .1. M.

And yet lhat wrath is nev er to be appeased, and the pur poses for which punishment was instituted will never be eonsuma led, but that the souls of Adams’ unforiunate progeny are to writhe beneath the boiling bil lows of a Brimstone Hell whose tlames are kept fiercely burning by the continued wrath of an in linateGod; this to last as long as as an infiniute God shall exist, thus allowing the acts of a finite creature to thwart the purposes and desires of an infinite God 1 Flease excuse us from even try ing to believe such a doctrine- If you would have us believe such a doctrine you must stop our ears to the sweet songs of melody and praise that all nature sends up to nature’s God.

Though the doctrine is scoffed at by those who profess to be Christians, we have an abiding faith that the goodness and mercy of God will follow the soul he has created e ven unto the very depths of Hell until it is fr<*ed from every stain of sin and made lit for that high abode for which he intended it. Flease excuse us. we did not in tend to preach. Yours in OIIfjCI'IUTY. OF It NEW YORK LETTER. New York, August 22, 1879. Our great railroad and telegraph magnate, Cyrus \V. Field, has fal len out with an old friend, Mr. S. J. Tilden, and the sad story has excited unseemlymirth. Mr. Field says he is disgusted with Mr. Til den and will never again have so cial or business intercourse with him. He yearns, however, to see him but once more when he pro poses to give him a piece of his mind. What Mr. Tilden has done to offend the old gentleman is not very clear. I! is certain though that he has made .$1,000,000 in a a few days in connection with the Elevated Railroad, by (he prac tice of that judicious business principle of buying stock when cheap and selling them when dear. Everybody knows uncle Samuel to be shrewd and to have succeeded in most similar enter prises. Mr. Field, it, is believed, unloaded a quantity of stock on the ex governor when it was quot ed at 14, and it was by no means certain that it would not soon he quoted at zero, and wanted “a stong legislative ally.” Mr. Til den obliged him, bought the stock and when Mr. Field was half way across the Atlantic, sold it, pock eting the difference, lie has been interviewed and frankly aeknowl edges the corn. A terrible lire at Locust Grove one of the almost continuous line of hotel villages that, centering Coney Island, now fringe the coast near New York from Batli to Fair Rockaway. has called at tention to Hie lli msy structures themselves, and the inadequate means of protection they have a gainst tire. The father of Coney island, ex May or Godfrey Gunth er. owned Ihe destroyed property. Four lives were lost, including the managei of the pavillion and two •chambermaids. Kerosene was stored in a most careless way in bulk, iii the premises, and was handled by ignorant and heedless employees. There is no fire de partment in the neighborhood, nor is it thought even the most expert (ire-men could check afire when once it had caught, hold of these light timber buildings dried to Hie most inflammable degree by the hot sun of Summer. The expense of the oilier materials is too great for the hotel people to even consider. There i one thing, people who arc prudent will henceforth prefer not lo sleep in the upper stories, picturesque and cosy as are the little balco nied bowers in the Gothic gables and towers, fhey stand some chance of escape down stairs. Levy, the popular but much married cornetist of Manhattan Beach, has been undergoing a re newal ol mi vrt vrdom. He lias oh slinatelv declined to pay a judg ment for commission due for ser vices rendered in procuring bis last season’s lucrative engage ment, to a person whom he per sists in stigmatizing as a ‘manse.’ Some ol the proceedings before the Referee have been very fun nv, and the raking up of matri nionial and other difficulties of the two contesting parties have been quite racy, if not edifying.

HH ■'l Manhattan. must haw a nip hiiHH|| then this guileless not understand why even laughed, and tlie conloflsH his right eye and I lie singly glass he screws on it were ly comical. Everybody knows what an awkward thing it is, when one appointed to some position of trust, to have to seek relatives or friends and ask them to go on the bond usually required -in other words to become personally lia ble for any financial irregular! ties, eiiminal or accidental.which he may in future commit, and this without the bondsmen’s re reiving, ; n most instances,• any kind of compensation for Ihe risk assumed. “It’s only a matter of form, you know,” says the appli cant ; but unfortunately exper . ienee in Jate years especially, teaches that no man can tell how soon his bosom friend or his own brother may become reckless or dishonest under temptation. And this makes the matter still more awkward ; for a person .applied to cannot very well quote this fact to defend his refusal. Still bonds have to be required and have to be given, and the whole subject is a very unpleas ant one, as the writer knows from experience. It is, therefore, with considerable satisfaction that the Knickerbocker Casualty lusur ance Company of this city has just added what it calls a “Fidel it.v Insurance” depart ment in which it issues policies on per sons holding or seeking positions of pecuniary trust thus furnishing a corporate guarantee on a safe business like basis, instead of such an inequitable personal bond as 1 have alluded to. The company of which Win. M. Rich aids is President,is a reliable one numbering among its directors and stockholders such men as F. iS. Winton, 11. B. Olallin, A. S. Barnes, George S. Coe, and Nor vin Green, President of the West ern Union Telegraph Cos., and G. T. Hope. Now whenever some pleasant friend or acquaintance comes to you for such use of your name,‘as a mere mat ter ol form’ you can politely direct him to where he can get what he wants in a perfectly legitimate manner and without imposing upon any body. The tilling up of New York Harbor by the willful breach of the laws by those sworn to guard them, has assumed such import ance that again lias a general out cry been raised against the po lice Commissioners who are re sponsible for the outrage. An enterprising morning paper char tered a yacht, and for days repor t.ers followed the street, cleaning scows, noting their violations of all ordinances, and their observa lions were suddenly printed a map, which fell like a thunder bolt among the guilty officials, who at onc be lired themselves to affect, a remedy by means so simple that one lias to wonder why they never carried the plan out before. Il is to have a sta tionavy scow auction'd in a shel tered place where the dumping ones can rendi zuous, thence to be tugged out fui to sea at the beginning of the ebb tide, llith crlo, the tilth ha.-, been deposited as near shore as possible, at the dead of night, and usually at halt l!< >od.

Unfortunately thin year the managers of the hinH admitted as spectators numerous lean and hungry persons,who fell to on the provisions before the fat men could got to them, and voraciously made away with the best part of their dinner. Adi pose tissues,however, beget good temper, and the cruel disappoint ment was philosophically borne.

It would be but poetic justice for [the winners (if unmarried) to mate with and console ihe two la dy losers. I’lie gallant third or the losing side, would no doubt, be chivalrously enraptured at such a happ.v cud to the tale. Onr famous police captain, Williams, lormeriy ofNovia Sen tiu shipwright, where he cultiva ted his muscle by coppering keel and who, as a “copper” is the en vy ot the force for his skill with the tdub. is again in trouble. For the second time in a few months he has varied his usual amuse meuts ol beating old men,women and children, by assaulting a re porter, is again to be tried by the Commissioners. He is indeed a uilicit tried man, but seems to be the worse for il. Radix. MEATH Ol' HON. .1 <'DEM ENTS. Four ol the members of the present general assembly have died. The fourth was added to the list, Sunday morning at ti o' clock, when lion. Jacob (5. Clem ents, of the 15th district, breath ed bis last. For fifteen days be lay at the residence of Mr. .1, C. McMillan, suffering with con sumption. He bore his alllic lion with a Christian fortitude, and when the end came he met it, conscious of no terror and peacefully resigned to the will of(rod. Mr. Clements was born in Montgomery county on the 21st ot August, 182(1, and his home is still in that county. He repre Hunts the district composed of the counties of Irwin, Montgom ery and Telfair. He was for forty years a leading member of the Methodist church, and for many years an active class lead er in that denomination. In pol ities lie was conservative and lilt oral and was ever faithful to the interests of Ids constituents and the state. His natural modesty kept him from making any at tempt at display, but he was al ways decided on every issue and wielded a wide personal infill cnee. During hi- illness he was attended by his wife and daiight er and by many friends in Hie legislature. The marked kind ness ol the family ol Mr. McMil lan did all that wa possible to alleviate hi siillering. When his death wa- announced on (lie i streets Sunday a large number of legislators assembled at the cap itol, and proceeding in a body to the residence of Mi.
