Lmicogbapht.— I f wc have not yet produced that 
preat American novel to astonish the world— which, 
with Mrs. Stowe In mind, wc do not so soon acknowl- 
edge-we have still enough to be prond of In that 
wonderful produce of American scholarship— Web- 
ster's Dictionary. There has before been no such 
dictionary of any lauguage— not even as the result of 
those years of labor which the whole French Acade- 
my, a congregation of the best scholarship In France, 
spent upon the lexicographical standard of that na- 
tion— A. T. Mail. 
BIG INVENTION. 
Lloyd, the famous map man, who mode all tlio maps 
for aoneral Grant and the Union army, ceitiflcate-i of 
which he published, has Just invented a way of get- 
ting a relief plate from steel so as to print Lloyd's 
Map of American Continent— showing from ocean to 
ocean— on one entire sheet of bauk note paper, 40x50 
inches large, on a lightning press, and colored, sized 
und varnished for the wall so os to stand washing, 
and mailing anywhere in the world , for 30 conts, or 
unvarnished for 25 cents. This map shows the wholo 
United States and Territories In a gToup, from sur- 
veys to 1875, with u million places on It, such os towns, 
cities, villages, mouutalns, lakes, rivers, streams, gold 
mines, railway stations, 4c. This map should bu in 
every house. SendiOcents to the Lloyd Map Com-
