AVe continue to sell at par, adding accrued inter¬ 
est, the First Mortgage Gold Bonds of the Northern 
Pacific Railroad Company. On the completion of 
this season’s'contracts there will he FIVE HUN¬ 
DRED AND SEVENTEEN miles of the main line of 
the road in operation, uniting Lake Superior with 
the Missouri River, and securing the large traffic of 
the North-west. This amount of roacl also entitles 
the Company to ten million four hundred thousand 
acres of land located in Central Minnesota, Eastern 
Dakota, and in the Columbia Valley, on the Pacific 
Coast. Tlie Bonds are secured by a First Mortgage 
on the road, its traffic and franchise, and on the en¬ 
tire land grant received from the government. The 
rate of interest is Seven and Three Tenths, Gold, 
equivalent to about Eight and a Quarter per cent in 
Currency. Believing the security to be ample and 
the rate of interest satisfactory, we recommend 
these Bonds as a desirable investment. Holders of 
United States 5-20’s and high-priced corporate 
securities may materially increase both their prin¬ 
cipal and their interest income by exchanging for 
Northern Pacifies.

PARSONS OiV THE ROSE, 
A Treatise on the l'ropagatipn, Cuii'ure; and History of 
the Rose. Revised and newly electiv£y.ped. Illustrated. 
By Samuel 15. Parsons. Price $1.50. 
The Rose is the only flower that can he said to have a his¬ 
tory. It is popular now and was so centuries ago. In his 
work upon the Rose, Mr. Parsons lias gathered up the curi¬ 
ous legends concerning tlie flower, and gives us an idea of 
the esteem in which it was held in former times. A simple 
garden classification lias been adopted, and the leading vari¬ 
eties under each class enumerated and briefly described. 
The chapters on ^multiplication, cultivation, and training, 
are very full, and the work is altogether tin- most complete 
of any before the public. 
PEACH CULTURE. 
Illustrated. By James Alexander Fulton. Price, $1.50. 
Among the fruits; the Peach, if not the most, is one of the 
most important of all. It is so easily raised, comes into 
bearing so soon, and is so delicious, as well as beautiful, it 
is impossible that it should not be a favorite. Living in tlie 
very center of tlie peach-growing district; sharing tlie com¬ 
mon interest felt in tlie subject; deeply impressed with its 
importance to tlie individual planters themselves, and also 
to the community at large; and believing that alasting bene- 
iit could be done to both, the author lias been induced to 
prepare this work on pencil culture.

The Great New Story, 
The End of the 
World. 
A LOVE STORY, 
By EDWARD EGGLESTON, 
Author of “ The Hoosier School-Master," etc. 
WITH 
15 Fine FuihFage Engravings, 
and Numerous Other 
ISS castrations- 
The earlier chapters of this book read like a 
Western Idyl; but Mr. Eggleston soon gets us into 
the grotesque scenes which lie draws so strongly 
and Gottlieb Wehle, tlie Backwoods Philosopher, 
the Steam-Doctor, Cynthy Ann, the “ Hawk,” the 
“ Mud-Clerk,” and, above all, Jonas Harrison, one 
of the most effective Western characters ever drawn, 
make a rare gallery of original portraits. The speeches 
of Gottlieb 'Wehle, Jonas, Cynthy Ann, and (he Philoso¬ 
pher arc full of a delightful humor, while the Night 
Adventure of August, tlie Mol) Scene, the life-like 
description of gambling in the saloon of a Mississippi 
steamboat, are drawn most vividly. Tlie interview at 
the Castle can hardly he read without tears, and the 
chapters entitled “The Last Day” and “Tlie Midnight 
Alarm” contain pictures of religious excitement such 
as can not be found elsewhere in English literature, 
while the mob and “ sliiveree ” scenes are pervaded by 
an irresistible spirit of fun, and the reader will fully 
appreciate Bill Day’s longing for “ somethin’ ludiker- 
ous.” The moral influence of tlie book is of the 
healthiest kind. 
The leading critics assigned a very high place to the 
“ Hoosier School-Master," and we feel sure that 
11 The End of the World” will place its author in 
the front rank of American writers of Action, and we 
predict for it a success unsurpassed by any American 
story that has yet been written.

BARRY’S 
FRUIT GARDEN. 
By P. BARRY. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
“ Barry’s Fruit Garden” is one of those practical, pro¬ 
fusely illustrated, and comprehensive manuals which Orange 
Judd & Go. delight to publish. It seems to tell almost 
everything which one book can tell about tlie ins and outs 
and ways and means, of fruit culture. — The Advance 
(Chicago). 
This volume of 490 pages, as its title implies, is devoted to 
tlie culture of fruits of every variety in orchards and gar¬ 
dens., . It describes.tlie diseases incident to the various fruit 
trees, tlie kinds of insects that prey upon them, and tlie 
remedies for ridding trees of tlie evil.— Scientific American 
Barry's Fruit Garden strikes us as about as complete a 
manual of the kind as could be.desired. Nearly everything, 
in fine, needed seems to lie provided ill this compact volume, 
and its abundant illustrations render everything intelligible 
to even tlie uninitiated.—77ie Methodist (N. Y.). 
The author writes from his own practical experience; and 
that experience is of no ordinary character, being tlie result 
of more than thirty years’ work at tlie head of tlie largest 
nursery in America, where every. operation is conducted 
with eminent skill.— The Country Gentleman. 
It explains ail the minutiae of fruit-gardening, even to the 
implements, copiously illustrated by engravings, so that the 
merest novice need not err; gives descriptions of all the 
different kinds of fruit that can bo raised in our climate in 
every stage of their lives, from tlie germ to tlie fruit-bearing 
period, with instructions in pruning and grafting, in a most 
satisfactory manner. Tlie Chapter on grapes alone is worth, 
more than tlie price of tlie book .—Jersey City Times. 
It is a rich mine of information upon fruits of all kinds 
and their proper culture.— Providence Press. 
Mr. Barry lias long been known as an authority upon fruit 
culture, and this volume of 490 pages, with a full and care¬ 
fully prepared index, gives tlie latest results of liis study 
and experience.—Sprinyjield flepuUicdn. 
Tills beautiful volume, of nearly tee.hundred pages, will 
be cordially welcomed by every lover of nature. It is the 
most perfect work wo have seen on the whole subject, and 
well deserves a wide circulation. — United Presbyterian 
(Pittsburgh).
