Mr. Guild has had so many predecessors in the branch of literature to which this volume is the-latest contribution, that it Las scarcely been possible for him to tay anything very new; but as a lively and entertaining description of the noteworthy Bights of Europe, it will compare favorably With most works of travel, and will repay a perusal.

"Wells, is a reissue in book form of a series of artioles originally contributed to the 7toe and Leather Rtporter.

It con tains a number of valuable hints about the Shape of shoes and boots, and other matters connected with the comfort of the feet, and we commend it to the attention of the suf ferers from corns and bunions as likely to suggest means of relief. For sale by J. B. Lippincott & Co. "The Model Prayer," by Rev. George D. Baldwin, D. D., published by Lee fc Shepard, is a series of eleven lectures upon the Lord's Prayer, in which the petition is analyzed and the meaning of its various parts explained and commented on in suoh a manner as to impreBB the reader with an adequate idea of their true value singly and collectively.

A Man's Body Dead While hli Head It Alive and Well. A singularly awful accident occurred on Thursday morning near Little Falls, N. J., to a prominent citizen of that place, named George fihackford. lie waa piling a load of hay, stand ing on top, when a wafer of the load caused him to lose his balance, and he fell to the ground, striking npon the back of his neck. For a few minutes he was completely senseless, but subsequently recovered at far as his head and mental faculties were concerned. His body, however, was completely paralyzed, the whole being perfectly dead belew the neck utterly deveid of all power of motion er any sense of feeling. The unfortunate man could not control the smallest muscle, neither could be feel the touch or abrasion of the flesh below the neck. Ifo experienced no sensatlou of pain or physical unpleasantness. The uienUl agony of such a condition, however, cannot bo imagined. The injured man was still in the same condi tion yesterdav afternoon, but was latlinr fast, PDarentlv Av nor frts svant rf nAiirlhniiiiit nrxt being able to partake of food or stimulant! it waa the impression that he would not live through the Dijfht. Mr. fibackford was a man largely known aud respected In bis vltinity. Little Falls is situated 7 . Fusmon about six miles from 1 aterson. rAvm".d0Wn, ?oulD U vlQ,y fylDff to ex press his 'ineffable contempt irthe viper that occupies the editorial tripod'- of a rival sheet in IJunUville. Alabama. "val 8nm 10 "WE ILLINOIS FARMER? ON TEE SITUATION. GRANT, 6T7MNEB, BAN DOMINOO, MOTXIT, AND THE OINKRAL CONDITION OT ATFAIB8 AT WASHINGTON HTJMOKOU8LT BEVEEWID. That shrewd and quaint observer, "The Illinois Farmer," has written the following letter to the Iron Age: The mail has brought my Washington pa pers, which give me a clearer insight into what the telegraph had reported about the muss that some Senators had kioked up about the removal of Mr. Sumner from the chair manship of the Committee on Foreign Affairs a place he has held for some years. That Mr. Sumner has ability and is very industri ous, no one doubts or questions, so far as we know, but that he has a divine right, to the exclusion of all others, to occupy the most prominent position in the Senate, some of us plain men are not so certain. I see that his colleague, Mr. Wilson, goes so far as to say that this action of the Senate will cause a split in the Republican party. I guess not this time. How do Mr. Sumner and Mr. Wilson reconcile this with their oft-repeated denun ciations of the Southern people rushing into rebellion for no other reason than the elec tion of Mr. Lincoln, in 18G0, by a majority of the people of the United States? "What is sauce for goose is for gander." Is Massachusetts the whole of the United States ? Is it not enough that the Secretary of the Treasury, and General Grant's first Attorney-General, as well as the Minister to England, should be taken from Massachu setts, while one of her Senators held the third most important position in the Govern' ment. Must the great Republican party, to which more than anything else the Govern ment owes its existence, be broken up be cause the majority of the Senators have seen fit to organize their committees to suit them selves? Senators have vast and important duties to perform, and we all know it has been the practice ever since we have had a Senate to apportion the various duties to cer tain of their own members for examination and report to the full Senate, for the simple reason that it is practically impossible to get through with the publio business in any other way. If, in the selection of those commit tees, any Senator sees fit to pout and make a fuss because he imagines he has been Blighted, my notion is he will have all the gTowling to himself, for the great mass of our people care no more who compose those com mittees than they do as to whom the Shah of Persia shall select for his Grand Vizier. What we all look at is the final notion of Congress and the President, as regards our publio mat ters. If what they do does not please us, we then take it in hand, and elect a Congress and President that will do what we think should be done. We care not at all how they do it, but we look sharp at what is done or left un done, i It appears from the papers that Mr. Sum ner has been somewhat riled because General Grant saw fit to remove Mr. Motley from the Ministry to England, and from that moment has gone around with a chip on his shoulder (as school boys often do), daring some one to knock it off; or, in other words, virtually say ing to the President, "I'll show you that yon can't snub my friend Motley with impunity." Hence his opposition to the President's sug gestion that Congress should take steps to acquire the island of St. Domingo. I have nothing to say one way or the other about the removal of Mr. Motley. That he is a splendid historian, and has written the clearest and most correct history of the Dutchmen in Holland, during their terrible struggle with Catholicism as represented by Philip II, of Spain, no one questions, but that in consequence thereof he is the man to represent us in putting a new ring in Mr. John Bull's nose, does not follow by any means, it is enougn for me to know that General Grant, whom we eleoted to look after all such matters, didn't want him any longer-i-paid him off and told him he'd hire somebody else. Supposo Mr. Sumner should recommend Borne Massachusetts farmer to me to act as my head farmer, and I should employ him; and suppose I should find, after having tried him, he was not the man I wanted at all, and tnat 1 should discharge him, would Mr. bumner raise a row about it, and go snorting around the country and saying, "lied teach that Illinois farmer a lesson when he got a good chance, he would! " think there would be as much sense in the latter case, as in the fuss he has made over Mr. Motley. It appears that the first chip Mr. Sumner put on his shoulder, and strutted around daring some one to knock it off, was his op position to the President's proposal to Con gress to taite measures to acquire St. Domin go, provided always the people of that island were disposed to unite with us. Both houses of Congress met him fairly and knocked his "chip" higher than a kite, by authorizing the President to appoint commissioners to go down and look the island over, talk with the people about joining us, and oome back and report to them all about it. So, if Mr. Sum ner is six feet and two inches high in his stocking feet, forty-seven inches round the cneat, and said to be the most expert pugv list in all New England, it seems Congress wasn't afraid of him the least bit, but knocked the chip off his Bhoulder before he had time to think even of throwing himself into a defensive position, mucn less to do it; so, away flew that chip, and now that the Senate has hoisted his "Foreign Relations Chip," too, he must begin to see that he is not quite so all-powerful as he has imagined himself to be for some few years past. That Mr. Sumner has of late beoome so overbear ing and dictatorial in his intercourse with other Senators as to be almost unbearable, I believe is not denied, even by some of his most ardent admirers. I have no acquaint ance with him, of eourse, but that was the impression he made on me when I saw him from the Senate gallery during the war, as I was occasionally in Washington. In those days be used to pitch into our own Lincoln far more than he now does into Grant: but that great and good man paid no more atten tion to such attacks than he did to the whining buz of a prairie "gallinipper," that lustiest breed of mosquitoes we raise.in this State. As for this St. Domingo business, I can only say this: I go in for getting some place down in those West India Islands where we can have a ship yard to repair vessels and deposit coal for our steamers; so that in case of war our steamers shall stand an equal chance with the navies of other nations, so far as operations on our South Atlantio and Gulf coasts are concerned. England, Frauoe, Spain, and Denmark all own some of these islands, so that in case of war witn us they would be at borne, while our ships have no place to refit short of Charleston or Savan nah, on the one hand, or Pensaoola, on the other; either of which places are hundreds of niiltB from what would probably be the scene of conflict. I therefore Bay, by all means let us have a place down there that shall be our owe, where our mercantile a well as our cava! vessels can feel that they have some thing more than a "treaty right" to drop their mud-hooks, whea necessity or conveni ence makes it desirable they should do so. So far as St. Domingo itself is concerned, if honest old Ben Wade oomes baok and tells us it is all right, and I have a chance to vote for it next "town-meeting day," I shall most assuredly vote "yes," with all my heart; and bo far as Mr. Sumner is concerned, if he will but recollect the injunction of Soripture, that "he that exalteth himsell shall be abased," and "he that humbleth himself shall be exalted," and act accordingly, I will warrant him to come out far better in the end than he will if he continues the domineering style be has practised for some few years past. Oh. that men would be wise, and not make fools of themselves, when they happen to fall in with a prosperous current. Your obedient servant, An Illinois Farmer. FINANCIAL.
