The bread disappeared, but the rats didn't diminish, and finally he caught his thirteen-year-old daughter eating it.

The fact was discovered by a lady riding in the car, and was brought to the notice of the mother, which was the first intimation that she had of the fact, although it is the opinion of physicians that the child has been blind from its birth. None of the lady's neighbors who -are in the habit of nursing it had made the discovery, although they can now remember that the child acted singularly, and that it was never seen to smile or take notice of anything.

A Valuable Work, The Centennial History of the'United States, from 'the Discovery of the American Continent to the close of Hie First Century of American Independence. By James D.

McCabe. Author of "A Manual of General History," The Great Jiepudlic." Etc. It is a well-known fact that the great mass of our people are compelled to- rely, for their knowledge- of the history of country, upon the outline intended for the use of schools, which jy tLeir very nature are brief; designed the comprehension oi children, and every way unsuited to-the adult mind. There has long been felt a genuine want of a History of the United States, eo-v- the whole period from the discovery of the Continent to the present- day, and presenting in a succinct and comprehensive form the history of our jountry through various periods, Tom a higher aud more thoughtful itandpoint than would be proper in a jchool history. This demand we are lappy to say is satisfactorily met in The Centennial History of the United States," a work which is evidently destined to take rank as the Standard Sistory of our country.

The James D. McCabe, is an able and well- historical writer. We most heartily commend this work, to our readers. It is no dry mass of details, no effort to inflame the- national but is a clear, vivid, and narrative of the events of our lisfcory, from the discovery of the Continent to tne present day. IB- 'ives a most interesting account of the- of North America, from the jime of the coming of the white mea.

The voyages of Columbus, thf explorations of the different nations of Europe, and the wanderings of the Spandiards search of gold and immortal youth, are told with graphic power. The history of the Revolution is related with all the interest of a romance; then fol- ows a clear and succinct account of the brmatioD Of the Federal the Second War with England, the VIexican War, and the events of our listory up to the commencement of the Divil War. The History of the Civil War is related with intense vigor, and with strict fidelity to truth. The author writes throughout with calmness and. impartiality, and pleads the cause of no section or party.

The book contains an Appendix, giving an account of the approaching International Centennial Exhibition. It is comprised in one large and band- some volume, of 925 pages; contains 442 fine engravings on steel and wood. he book is issued by the National Publishing of Philadelphia, whose imprint a of the excellence ot the workmanship. The price is low considering the character of the work, and each subscriber is presented with a handsome lithographic'engraving of Centennial Exhibition and Grounds. It is sold by subscription only, and the publishers want agents in every county..
