The Afiiierican Conflict, 
By HORACE: GRECIiST. 
This work has no rival ns a csmdid, lucid, complete <ind 
antlicniic histoi'vot the Great Civil war. Its popularity Is 
pufflcienily indicated by the fact that the weeklj- sales of 
Yii], I, :ire irre;tter than those of all similar histories united. 
Vol. II, will bo compk'ti'il at the earliest dav consistent 
with thoroughness ar.daccuraL-y. Theaulhorhavinsj availed 
himself of ttie full OfRcial lieports of the Confi-derate. as 
well as the Union auHiorities, will present both sides of the 
great struggle with equal fairness. This volume will abund- 
antly sustain the high reputation of Vol. I. 
From the Albany Evening Journal. 
Xoman in America is more conversant with the eubject 
than Mr. Greeley, and none raorc competent to do it justice. 
•••••** VTe confess that in this work 
%;we are aereeablv disinpointod. It is pervaded by a epiiit of 
Ciitholicity and a freetlom from partisan leaning that some 
of his best friends did not expect. 
From the Kew-Tork Herald. 
"The American Conliiot," by Horace Greeley, may prove 
to the prosressive thinliersof all nations a work of equal 
interest wiili Jsapoleon's "JJfe of Ciesar." * * * riie 
Emperor, with his mishiv lesions at his back, has been the 
lender of the nations durin;: the past tliirty ccnruries: the 
Editor, with his burning tliouijlits prinit'd in front, will be 
the leader of the nations in the fifty centuries to come. 
From The New-Tork Leader. 
No public man. whatever his politics and prejudices may 
be, f hould refuse to it a prominent place in his library. 
From the Cincinnati Knquirer. 
It is of course a history from a standpoint of observation 
far distant from our own. and from the Democracy gener- 
ally, but it is marked by much less prejudice, and is disficr- 
urea by far less partisan feeling than most of our Irienda 
would imasint*. It contains a vaf^t amount of information, 
and is altosi'tbcr superior for reference to any volume on 
the subject that has yet api)eared. 
From The London Daily News. 
"We eimestlv recommend this history as a work of marked 
ability and perfect sood faith. No person of candor, what- 
ever may be his opinions, could read it without feeling in- 
debted to the auilior. 
From The London Saturday Keview. 
^Ir. Greeley is qualified above all his coiemporaries for the 
task which he iia* undertaken. • ' • No writer 
has shown more fully how the leaders of the South, were 
gradually tempted and encouraged into a fatal and almost 
inexplicable mi'stake. 
From The London Westminster lleview. 
None who read it can wonder at tlie almost unexampled 
favor with which it has been received.

" The Most Laughable Thing on Earth." 
Price 25 Cents. 
Of this popular play the "American Agriculturist" says; 
— " A Hearty Laugh is a luxury— and often a first-rate med- 
icine. We indulged in such a laugh the other evenins, while 
the young folks Were amusing themselves with this innocent 
and amusing game. It Is not a humbug." 
The publisher of *' The Old Oaken ^wcJW," Portland. Mo., 
writes : " The children of all ages are much pleased with it. 
It is hind getting them to bed in proper season. One of my 
neighbors hearing the uproar, wanted to know the cause of 
such untimely mirlh. I told him. He immediately handed 
me twenty-five cents, and desired rae toobtain one'for him." 
A lady at Hishland, Ind.. writes:— "It is more than it is 
recommended to be, I have had more than ^fire times the 
amount of mymonev in the sport it has caused". All are per- 
fectly delighted with it." 
W. J. Townsend. of Skaneateles, N. T., writes :—" I have 
had considerable company at my house, and both old and 
young are much pleased with the game. Although we have 
several other kinds thev are all thrown aside for yours. 
Please send three more." 
So say they all of them ; and so will all say of the "Three 
Merry Men.'* Persons having one or both of these games 
need never know a dull day or evening, or be troubled ^nth
