ena, &c. By PAUL B. DU CHAILLU. Illustrated. 12mo, Cloth, $1.50. In this book Mr. Du Chaillu relates the story of his sojourn in Apingi Land, of which he was elected king by the kind-hearted and hospitable natives. * * * We assure the reader that it is full of stirring incidents and exciting adventures. Many chapters are exceedingly humorous, and others are quite instructive. The chapter, for instance, on the habits of the white and tree ants contains an interesting contribution to natural history.--_N. Y. Herald._ * * * * * The Country of the Dwarfs. By PAUL B. DU CHAILLU. Illustrated. 12mo, Cloth, $1.50. Hail to thee, Paul! thou hero of single-handed combats with gorillas and every imaginable beast that ever howled through the deserts, from the elephant to the kangaroo; thou unscathed survivor of a thousand-and-one vicissitudes by fire, field, and flood; thou glowing historian of thine own superlatively glorious deeds: thou writer of books that make the hairs of the children stand on every available end; thou proud king of the Apingi savages of the equator; hail! we say.--_Utica Herald._ * * * * * Published by HARPER & BROTHERS, N. Y. _Sent by mail, postage prepaid, to any part of the United States, on receipt of the price._ [Illustration] WIGGLES.

Burr, Percy B. M., Paul. B. T., E. S., C. F. C., Gracie C., Eva M., and Anita R. N.
