Representatives Herbert, of Ala bama, Hemphill, of South Carolina, Turner, of Georgia, Stewart, of Tex as. Wilson, of West Virginia, ex ltepresentative Barksdale, of Mis sissippi, and Senators Vance, of rsorth Carolina, Pasco, of Florida, Vest, of Missouri, ami W, M. Fish back, ot Arkansas, Ira P. Jones, of Tennessee, O. S. Long, of "Vest Vir ginia, and B. J. Sage, of Louisiana, have collectively written and will soon publish a book entitled "Why Solid South ? or, Reconstruction and its Results." Each chapter is. signed by its author, who thus becomes di rectly responsible f vr the truth of his statement. The book is dedica ted to the business men of tne North, with the statement that they are in terested in continuing the prosperity of the South. Many Lives, Histories, or Biogra phies of the late Jefferson Davis, purporting to be written by Mrs. Jefferson Davis, ate being advertised throughout the country. The only genuine work of the kind written by Mrs. Jefferson Davis is that to be published by Belford Company. 18-22 East 18th Street, New York, entitled "Jefferson Davis, Ex-President of the Confederate States : A Memoir, by His Wife." All other works claiming the authorship of Mrs. Jefferson Davis must necessari ly be injurious to her personally and j Iecuniarily. Tho book is aold by subscription, and territory is being rapidly assigned, lne worK prom ises to be one of the most popular ever published, and those desiring to canvass for it should apply at once to tlx publishers, who will furnish circulars and information. "Statutes" is often misprinted "statue," and iu some eases it is hardly an error, for many statutes against popular vices are enly dead statues, "like a painted Jove hold ing idle thunder in their lifted hands." TJIE FORUM FOR APRIL.. The Forum one of the ablest, if not the very ablest magazine in the United States, in its Aprii number contains a notable posthumous arli tie by the late President Barnard, of Columbia College, on the degrada tion of our polities in which he shows that the substitution of per sonal reward for public duty as the prime rnotive of political activity has changed the whole character of government to so great a degree that it is no longer a republic but an oligarchy of machine politics; and the popular conception of the func tions of government has itself un dergone a change. This is perhaps the most notable of all President Barnard's writings. President Tim othy Dwight, of Yale University, lays out a proper course of study for a boy up to his 18th year, and compares the advantages and disad vantages of the old-time system of education and the present system. He makes ati interesting showing of the time wasted by the old system, but lays especiil stress upon the modern production of specialists rather than of men. Fran 'es Power Cobbe makes a review of the chan ges in human nature that have been i developed by modern civilization to show wherein we are better, and wherein we are worse than the ancients. The Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, the successor of Henry Ward Beecher in Plymouth pulpit, points out the difference between the "new theology" and the "no theology," or between liberal ortho doxy and agnosticism. He explains the idea that advanced orthodox thinkers hold of the Teity, of per sonal immortality, and of the in terpretation of tho Scriptures; and he shows how theie ideas differ more wideiy from the position of unbelievers than from the ortho doxy of the past. Chas. Dudley Warner, in an article, The News papes and the Public, undertakes to show where the blame rests for ultra-sensational papers. He under takes to explain why it is that those newspapers that have the widest circulaiion are those that meet the severest criticism. He finds an in teresting answer in an analysis of the American character. Mr. C. Wood Davis, who has given long study to the subject, constructs an argument to show that tho prime reason for agricultural depression is the overproduction of farm products. He presents statistics showing that the increase of the production of farm products has been greater than the increase of population. There is much fallacy in this article but it will serve to put the farmer to think ing. Dr. J.M.Charcot contributes an other article about his experiments on hypnotic persons this time to 9how that crimes can 'be committed upon hypnotized people, and how they can be induced by hypnetizers to commit crime. There is an arti cle by Francis Minor, advocating woman suffrage, in which he points out how.every experiment hitherto made in this direction lias been suc cessful. The Rev. Dr. William Barrv writes on the Rights of Public Pro perty to show that monopoly is but the appropriation by individuals of things that properly belong to socie ty; and Richard Hodgson, secretary of the Society for Psychical Research tells where trickery in spiritualism ends, and where really interesting phenomena begins. .kvery article is ably written and well worthy of careful reading and study. The Xew Discovery. You have heard your friends and neighbors talking about it. You may yourself be one of the many who know from personalixperience just how good a thing it is. If you have ever tried it, you are one of its staunch friends, because the wonder ful thing about it is, that when once given a trial, Dr. King's New Dis covery ever after holds a place in the house. If you have never used it and should be afflicted with acough, cold or any Throat, Lung or Chest trouble, secure a bottle at once and give it a fair trial.
