the success of Grant and Colfax in

ties in New York so closply approxi

A peculiar feature of Republican
Society is the rapid advancement of
men cf talent and ability to positions of
trust and responsibility. There are.nt
this time, many men premineiiily be
fore the .American people whose ca
reer is but partially known. We read
eagerly the wordsof counsel and cheer
they speak, and citch glimpses of their
lives, only to wish for a more 'ntimate
knowledge of their character, and the
steps by which they have attained their
present position. Dr. L. P. Brocket,
the popular biographical Editor of Ap
pleton's Cyclopedia, has prepared con
cise and interesting biographies of some
fifty or more of ihese men, including
all the more prominent Statesmen, Gen
erals, Financiers and Philanthropists of
the country. The work hns just issued
from the press, and is a model of book
making.
The po.-iiion and iepuia;ion of its au
thor, is a guarantee of its.strict and im
partial accuracy. The work is written
in a clear, terse and interestieg style,
and is intersjersed with incidents and
anecdotes wherever they can illustrate
the character cr peculiarities of the
subject.
We copy same extracts from the
press in varions parts of tLe country.
"The sketches are written with great
ability and vigor; there is no samencfi
no dullness in them, but the diversity
of he . excellence, and the numerous
and thrilling incidents iaterpertd, give
ihe book a perpetual charm, which
must delight even the most ennuyd
readers.
'The engravinss are admirable, as
indeed they should be, being the btt
productions cf such engravers as Sar
tain and Walters, and the typography
will show that Philadelphia printers
have no cause io fe;tr the competition
of iioston, Cambridge or New York
'We welcome this book most heart
ily, as the only record of our public
uion which inakej auyjipp.roach to com
pleteness.
'No other work on this suject yet
published will compare with this in the
extent and completeness of its-sketches,
or the tareful accuracy of its state
ments. The variety vf ihe labors of
L the men whose wofk is described in it.
and tbe intrductir-o of thrilling- iuci
dents, give it a charm which will cause
every reader to be interested ncd de
lighted with it. ; ThU is one of the few
works that we can unhesitatingly en
dorse. In the beauty of its typography,
and the excellence of its engravings, it
is a model.
"There have been two or ihree at
tempts made to give the public some of
these particulars, but none which ap
proached the presnt volume in com
pleteness or accuracy.
Here urn nearly iij olni.l of
men : who have won "themselves an
honored name iu ihe aiinalr of our
histpry. The illu-tralions are by San
lain and Walters, all being portraits,
and they are worthy of the high repti
tation of thee skillful engrnvers, and
do honor to. Philadelphia manufacture.
."The book is .well printed, the pic
lures are much better than is usual in
volumes of thw c!ais ' the naner is
gooi. Of tin -editorial work it is
enoegh to say that it has been caret
conscientious and generally discriminat
ing. The difficulties to be overcrir.e
were veiy great and they have been
overcome. We wish tins book might
go into .every farm-house, and loc-
! cabin, ana palace in the land
"It abounds in thnlli.ig incidents,
many of them are adventure.- un-ur
passed in tho pages of romance. Thi
hock is without a rival. It ii the only
eliort of the kind that has any ju t
pretensions, lie are grateful to the
publishers for this valuable memorial
of our public men. It will be welcom
ed with joy. Wt comn.end it heartily
and hope to meet it in every household.
"The mechanical execu ion of the
book is excellent; its handsomely
bound, printed on beautiful paper, and
is illustrated by forty-two fine steel
portraits, by Sartain and Walters."
W e never have received a book from
publishers that we could commend as
heartily as this. It is a book that cRnnot
fail toMnterest everyone. If we were
asked wha. new hook we considered
the most desirable for the library or
parlor, we should unhesitatingly say
Men of Our Day.'by Dr. L. P. Brock
ett." This work is sold only by canvassers
and intelligent men and women are

mask is now stripped from its face for

A Curious Di.t.isio.v. A man on
trial iu Henry county, lUitioi.-, fur mur
der, was clearly proven guiity. The
counsel for the defense asked leave io
enter a plea of guilty of manslaughter.
This was refused. The prisoner then
plead guiliy i.f murder as charged in
the indictment. The court accepted
the flea and discharged the jury, th-re
being no question of guilt for them to
pass upon, and here is where the case
assumes an alarming hap. The Gen
eral Assembly of that State, at its lat
session passed a law that in all cases
where felonies are punished with death,
the jury may return a verdict of guilty,
aud as a part of the verdict, are re
quired to determine whether ihe prU
oner shall suffer death by hanging, or
be imprisoned in the Peniteniniiy for
life, or for not le.-s than fourteen years,
