A Majcnlflcent F»n»ily Hlble. Th«» National Publishing Company of Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis and Atlanta are doing a good work in this community by circulating aniimg our people one of the mo6t superb edi tions we have ever seen. The binding is elegant, tasteful and substantial. The press work is done in the best style, and the paper is of the finest quality. Being determined that their Bibles shall not be surpassed by any other edition in print, the publishers baye added to it an abridgement of Dr. il lium Smith's great Dictionary of the Bible. This is a complete book in it=elf, and would make an octavo volume of over six hundred pages. Its reputation as the best Bible Dic tionary is world-wide, and each sub scriber to thin Bible thus obtains it free. Another prominent feature is a His tory of All the Religious Denomina tions of the World. These accounts are clear and comprehensive, and are full of valuable information. The additional matter which ac companies the books of the Bible cov ers a wide range of subjects and is ex ceedingly valuable. An accurate and detailed description of the Holy Land is given, followed by an interesting description of Jerusalem and its sa cred places. The Life of the Saviour and the Live 3 of the Apostles are also given at considerable length, and in such a manner as to be of great service to every reader of the Bible. The Wanderings of the Israelites in the Wilderness are related, and the Taber nacle and Temple are described with great minuteness. Another feature to which we would call particular atten tion is a series of Scripture illustra tions, remarkable for its completeness. It embraces a series of comprehensive descriptions of the Manners and Cus toms of the Nations of the Ancient World, of Biblical Antiquities, Scen ery, Natural History, etc., etc. Then follow a large number of chronological and other valuable tables designed to promote and facilitate the study of the Sacred Scriptures. These tables are so numerous that we have not space even to give their names. So full and complete is the additional matter of this magnificent edition of the Scrip • tures, that the most careful student of God's word, the most exacting seeker after truth will find all his wants sup plied in this single volume. The book is magnificently illus trated. It contains over 2,000 fine engravings, many of which are by the great artist, Gnstavo Dore. These engravings are genuine works of art, and were made at a cost of over $30,- 000. The great number and high character of these engravings make this the most valuable art publication of the century. Between the Apocrypha and the New Testament is a beautifully litho graphed marriage certificate, which makes this Bible an especially appro priate wedding present. This is fol lowed by a handsome Family Record, consisting of four quarto pages, finely lithographed. At the end of the volume is a photograph album, with spaces for sixteen portraits. These magnificet Family Bibles are superior to all others that we have seen, in the following respects: They contain the largest and finest engravings. They have the richest and most durable bindings. They contain the finest paper and the best printing. They are the cheapest and most complete, and they sell faster than any other Family Bibles. The National Publishing Company's Bibles weigh from one to three pounds more than any other Family Bibles published in the United States. This is proof positive that they are more so id and substantial than any other Bibles. It proves that they are printed on heavier paper, and bound with heavier and more durable ma terial. They are published in German also. We cordially commend this Bible to our readers, and hope it may find a place in every family. It is one of the best Family Bibles ever published, jMpd no home should be without it. ' The price is astonishingly low, and within the reach of all. It is sold by "subscription only, and Mr. David Wil helm, of Jefferson township, who is the authorized agent for this section, is now canvassing for it. Grant's Tour Around Hie World. Mr. Wilbelm is also agent for the National Publishing Co.'s edition of General Grant's Tour Around the World, written by the celebrated writer, James McCabe. The work con tains over 300 pages, is handsomely illustrated and is considered the best account of the journey that has been written. Mr. W. will call at your home or place of business. 6t Wheat!

JAY GOULD'S buying railroads for fun, to which diversion he has evi dently applied himself with a good deal of success and earnestness, bids fair to make him complete master, of the situation in the matter of transcon tinental travel and transportation. By the consolidation in his bands of the Union Pacific and the Kansas Pacific Railways, the provision in the charter of the former company compelling it to pro rate at Omaha with all roads running eastward from that point is effectually evaded, as no such restric tion is imposed at Kansas City, where Mr. Gould's southwestern system of roads begins, and he acquires a mon opoly of the entire Pacific coast traffic upon his own.terms.
