Forty-eight fresh battalions are ordered out in addition to the forty-eight called out a fortnight ago.

Three new artillery brigades with seven- teen guns are also forming.

WasHinaron, May 2.

The President will take the utmost care to prevent any violation of neutrality if war is declared ; but until this happens there will be no interference.

A story has reached this place that five hundred Lrish have been enrolled, and are ready to leave New York at a moment's notice, for the purpose of attacking some point in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick or Prince Edward Island, under the Russian and Fenian flags, in case war is declared between England and Russta.

Another story which is i circulation is to the effect that several thousand Irish are party engaged to go to Russia, ostensibly as laborers on the publie works, but really to enlist in the army.

Str. Louis, May 2.

Some two hundred socialists are drilling once a week in Washington Hall. They are armed with Springtield rifles.

The party is said to number from 5,000 to 6,000 in St. Loms, and from 50,000 to 60,000 in the country.

A Very Valuable History.

The Pictorial History of the World, em- bracing full and authentic accounts of every nation of ancient and modern times, and in- cluding a History of the rise and fall of the Greek and Roman Empires, the growth of the nations of Modern Europe, the Middle Ages, the Crusades, the Feudal System, the Reforma- tion, the discovery and settlement of the New World, ete., ete., by James D. McUabe. Pub- lished by the National Publishing Co., of Phil- adelphia, Pa., Chicago, Hl., St. Louis, Mo,, and Dayton, Ohio.

It is a well known fact that the great mass of the people are compelled to rely, for their knowledge of history, upon the outline works intended for the use of schools, which, by their very nature, are brief, and only designed for the comprehension of children, There has long been felt a genuine want of a more elabor- ate History of the World, covering the whole period from the creation to the present day, and presenting in a succinct and entertaining form the history of the various nations of the world. This demand, we are happy to say, is being met in ‘*The Pictorial History of the World,” a work which is destined to take rank as a Standard History. It is from the pen of James D. McCabe, a well-known historical writer, who has devoted years of study and re- search to the production of this great work. The book is literally what it professes to be— a complete History of the World—for it gives a clear and concise account of every nation that has ever flourished upon the globe. The his- tory of each country is related separately, and in the clearest and most comprehensive man- ner, and the deeds of all the great actors in the events of ancient and modern history are brought before the reader in the most vivid style. Ancient history is related in full, and the accounts of the Middle Ages, the Cru-

sades, and the great nations of mod- ern times, are equally complete and in- teresting. There is not a dry page in the book. It is as fascinating as

a romance, and at the same time one of the most valuable works of reference ever published. We are constantly called upon to discuss the great questions of history, and the wars and quarrels of the nations of the old world require us to be continually refreshing our historical knowledge. So many discoveries have recently been made, so many of the old ideas and traditions have been exploded and shown to be mere myths and legends, that the subject of history may be said to be almost en- tirely new, and he who was well informed twenty years ago, will find himself unable to diseourse intelligibly upon historical subjects now unless he has kept up with the advance of historical research.

The mechanical execution of the book fully sustains the high reputation of the publishers. it contains 1,260 large double-column pages, and over 650 fine engravings, illustrating the events recorded in the narrative, embracing battles and other historical scenes ; portraits of the great men of ancient and modern times, and views of the principal cities of the world. The engravings in this book are genuine works of art, and were made at a cost of over $55,- 000. The great number and high character of these engravings make this the most valuable art publication of the century. A prominent feature of the work is a full History of the late War between Russia and Turkey.

This is the most complete and valuable History of the World ever published, and the price is so low that everyone can afford to pur- ‘chase a copy. t is sold by subscription only, and Mr. John Ross, who is the authorized agent for this Island, is now canvassing for it.

(CE EDWARD ISLAND, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1878

firs t son.’

An Apparition.

(From the Halifax Herald.)

The ‘‘late lamented” Vail has, it appears, had the courage to go up to Ottawa, no doubt to gather up his odd sheets of sta- tionery and his rents. It is not generally understood, perhaps, that Mr. Vail owns a block of houses at Ottawa, the result of his honest toil and prudent economies. One of these houses is rented to Mr. Huntington, and we believe that the reason of Mr. Vail’s visit to Ottawa is, that in consequence of the shabby treatment he received from the Government he has raised the rent on the Postmaster General,and there is a deuce of a row over it! The Mail’s correspondence says :—

The man with the military eye, the lament- ed Vail, was on the floor of the House to- night,

What a sight it was! McKenzie started and stared at that lank figure that once tilled the place of Minister of Militia! La- flamme woke up from a vinous doze and ex- claimed, ‘‘Go away wit you—dis is not de day of general judgment!” Jones slowly held up a commission entitled ‘‘G—y—r of N—S—a.” Cartwright clutched more tightly the key of the Treasury, which he had taken from Coffin and had not returned}! Frechette looked at him out of his double eye- glass, and whispered—

**Behold this ruin, twas a skull Once of ethereal spirit full.” Lanyevin sent a page for a bottle of holy water, but none was to be found. in the building. But Blake stood up in his place, and in his grandest vein thundered forth :— Angels and Mrnisrers of grace defend us !—- Be thou a spirit of health or goblin damned, Bringst with thee airs from Ffeaven or blasts rom hell,

Be thy intents wicked or charitable ”

Thou eomest in such a questionable shape

a wil] speak to thee; I'l) call thee Ham- et,

King, father, royal Dane! O, answer me;

Let me not burst in ignorance ! but tell

Why thy canonized bones, hearsed in death

Have burst their cerements! Why the sep- uichre

Wherein we saw thee quietly innured

Hath opened its ponderous and marble jaws

To cast thee up again. What may this mean,

That thou dead corpse again in complete brass

tevisited thus the glimpses of the moon,

Making night hideous ; and we fools of nature,

So horribly to shake our dispositions

With thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls.

Say, why’ is thus ’ we do?

And the marble jaws opened, and the Military Eye glared, and a sudden light was cast on the Postmaster, and a great sound filled the chamber as the voice of Vail yelled at Huntington — ‘‘Are you goin’ to pay me that there last quarter's rent ¢”

We understand that the following ae- count was presented to Mr. Huntington after the House rose—but no result, finan- cially has yet arisen :

Youre habbits goin hoam nights in- jures the dor step and lach kee hol, and there has bin grate ware and tare. 1 want dam- majes. 7. a It will be noticed that the rent is con- siderably over due, but we hope that Mr. Huntington will square up honorably. The bill, it is true, would have been the better for a little revision from that eminent Scholar, Mr. Ray, of Annapolis, but ‘ds it stands it is sui gencris, and therefore valuable as commercial document.

Singular Telegraphic Freak. a“ a

The following curious ‘‘correction” has appeared in all the London papers : ‘*Er- ratum—We are requested by Reuter’s Tele- gram Company to correct an erroneous announcement made in their Brisbane tele- gram of the 2nd instaut, stating that ‘Lady Kennedy had given birth to twins, the eldest being ason.’ The company explain that the message they received contained the words, Governor of Queensland, ‘ twins seing, however, subsequent- ly informed that Sir Arthur Kennedy was unmarried, and that there must be some mistake, a telegraphic repetiticn was as once despatched. It has been re- ceived to-day (14th inst), and shows that the words really telegraphed by Reuter’s agent were: ‘Governor Queensland turns first sod,’ alluding to the Maryborough-Gym- pic railway in course of construction. The words in italics were mutilated by the tele- graph in transmission from Australia, and, reaching the company in the form men- tioned, gave rise to the mistake.”

The London World says: ‘‘ There is a lunatic who follows several well known young ladies in the park, writes them let ters and sends them violets.” If the writer lived in Toronto he would make the ac- quaintance of not one but several kindred lunatics, whose “‘lady-killing” vagaries have annoyed some ladies, though it must be confessed they have amused their friends,—,
