By IRVING BACHELLER, author of "A Master of Silence." 12mo, cloth, gilt top, rough edges. $1.50.
A refreshing story of the "plain people" of country and town. The "North Country" is the farm-land of St. Lawrence County in Northern New York. Uncle Eb,--hero, "hired-man" and border philanthropist--is a lover of animals, of nature and of all creation. The scene shifts to New York in war time, and the story of the rout at Bull Run is unsurpassed in realism. Altogether it is one of the brightest and most popular of recent books, for it appeals to that love of mingling sentiment and humor that all men and women like.

By GEORGE CARY EGGLESTON, author of "The Wreck of the Redbird." 12mo, cloth, illustrated by Charlotte Harding. $1.50.
The story of five western boys who take a flatboat on a venture to New Orleans. They are bright, apt, and intelligent young fellows, and find fun, adventure, and profit in their scheme. This book is an absolute storehouse of mid-west facts, but it is also full of action, manliness, endeavor, and adventure.
His Neighbors, his Doings and his Reflections in a Bohemian Forest Village

A simple but unique, picturesque and delightful story of peasant life in a Bohemian shut-in village, "on the edge of the forest." It introduces English readers to a charming and little-known community, far removed from towns and cities, but where the duties, desires, passions and purposes of men and women are just as human and just as diversified as in the busier haunts of men.
By AUGUSTA HALE GIFFORD. One volume, 8vo, 593 pages, cloth, gilt top, uncut edges, emblematic cover, fully illustrated, $1.75
The first popular story of Germany, especially prepared for American readers, and written from an American standpoint. In this light the book is unique. It stands alone as the latest and most complete, while it is the briefest and most condensed story of the German Empire, from its beginnings to its present proud position among the world-leaders.
