The Huntingdon Journal. FRIDAY, - - NOVEMBER 29, 1878 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. W. L. FOULK, Agent of the Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia Press Association, Is the only person in Pittsburgh authorized to receive advertisements for the JOURNAL. He has our best rates. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Brief Mention--Home-made and Stolen. Saur-kraut and speck. Tramp printers are numerous. Advertise your holiday goods. This is the day of prospectuses. Never buy anything you don't waut. The Juniata was booming last week. Rural debating societies are blooming. The tongue of scandal still wags freely. Almanacs for 1879 for sale at the JOURNAL Store. Blair county's teachers will institute on the 23d prow Cambria county's bastile contains twenty- one prisoners The "I'll tickle you and you tickle me" plan don't always work . Purses, for carrying coin,, at the JOURNAL Store, for 10 cents. Grave robberies are common occurrences in some parts of the country. Apples are said to be cheaper than potatoes in most sections of the State. During the rainy season the dealers in rabbers drive a lively trade. A wave from the northland struck this latitude on Saturday morning. About every other man you meet now -a days is a commercial drummer. Gov. Hartranft will review the Fifth Regi ment at Tyrone to-day, Friday. Six inches of snow reported on the Alle gheny mountain on Saturday. Ugh ! A down-Own auction is raising a breeze amongst our legitimate business men. We say that' the "They Say" column in last week's Tyrone Herald was quite readable. We are informed that the trade dollar is taken at par by all the business men in town. This is right. Col. M'Clure, of tbeThiladelphia Times, is booked for a lecture in Tyrone during the coming winter. The handsomest paper, for making wall pockets, in town, all colors and styles, just re ceived at the JOURNAL Store. "Dad" Lewis is the champion rat catcher in town, having gobbled a dozen in one night's setting of his new-fangled trap. Thousands of sparrows bop about our streets and are becoming quite tame. Feed them during the -coming severe winter. Mrs. Durban, wife of E. S. Durban, esq., edi tor of the Meadville Courant, died at her res idence, in that city, on the 16th inst. The Tribune reports the discovery of a vein of lead ore on the lands of the Cambria Iron Company, near Henrietta, Blair county. After spending the summer in West Vir ginia, where he had a government contract, Frank Hefright, esq., has returned home. The water station at Mapleton has been abandoned on account of the sand from Ma guire's works rendering the water unfit for use. A contagious disease has made its appear ance among the swine in Clearfield county, and large numbers of them are passing in their checks. A young lad named George Troutwine was severely burned and cut by the premature discharge of a bottle of powder which he was about to explode. Several excursions to Kansas are on the Lapis. One is being gotten up at Mt. Uaion, for the particulars ofwhich see another column of the JOURNAL. We learn from the Mt. Union Times that Wm. Wier, of Robertsdale, whose mind has become impaired, was taken to the alms-house a few days ago. Judge Summers' country residence is one of the coziest places in this region of the country. In a future issue we will have more t 3 say about it. Geo. W. Waring, esq., the efficient court re porter, to whom we are indebted for numerous favors, is one of the cleverest gentlemen to be found this side of sun down. A street vender of a quack nostrum held forth in the Diamond, the other night, but his receipts from the sale of his stuff will not enable him to build a railroad. Postmaster Musser was in Philadelphia last week as Delegate to the semi-annual session of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, which convened in that city at that time. The youngest child of Samuel Miller, form erly of our town, died at Harrisburg on Fri day last, and its remains were brought to this place for interment on Saturday evening. Some valuable real estate—town property and farm land-13 advertised for sale in this issue of the JOURNAL. If you have money to invest consult our advertising columns before doing so. A citizen of Ebensburg, Cambria county, requests the Herald to say that he is willing tl subscribe the sum of $2,000 towards grading a railroad bed from that place to the Blacklick mineral regions. This is a dangerous season, and often the fondest mother's care is no protection against Coughs, Colds and Hoarseness. Dr. Bull's Cough Syrsp should be kept in readiness.— Price 25 cents. We see it reported that a first-class locomo tive can now be bought for less than $7.000, If we could get one for $6,999.50 we would buy it for the purpose of travelling after our delinquent patrons. Newspapers should not publish all they know, particularly when the publication of certain things results in incalculable injury to the town and county. We have a case in point in this town. Hugh Pitcairn, esq., junior editor of the Altoona Tribune, is preparing himself for the medical profession, and with this object In view is now attending lectures in Philadelphia• It will soon be Dr. Pitcairn. Any citizen of Huntingdon, mean enough to attempt to throw cold water on the new peni tentiary project should be drummed out of town to the tune of the "Rogue's March." We have a few such in this place. Brother Speedy, of the Port Royal Times, whose visit to Huntingdon was noted in these columns last week, takes up a column of his paper to tell what he saw and did during his brief sojourn in "ye ancient borough." The colored people of this place, for a week past, have been holding a festival and "cake walk" with a view to swelling their depleted church exchequer. The attendance was good but we understand the receipts were not large If what we hear be true about every other person employed in onr public schools has gone into the book trade. A few pennies will cause some people to do very small things.— ¶e refer their case to the next m!;rcantile ap praiser. A thirty-five year old horse was shot in iftlin county, the other day, on account of the loss of . his teeth and his inability to masticate his food. His owner should have fed him on soft food and permitted him to live as long as he could. The members of the A. 1. E. Zion Church, will hold a "cake walk" and festival, at the Opera House, on Thanksgiving evening. They will also have a dinner during the day to which everybody are invited. A rs t-c lass meal for 25 cents. Rev. Father Arthur Devlin, the Priest ap pointed to fill the place formerly occupied by Father Murphy, as pastor of the Catholic Church, of this place, has arrived and entered upon his pastoral duties, having preached his first sermon on Sunday last. A fellow made a dive into a bucket of mince meat, in front of York's grocery, the other evening, but before he could get away York had him by the neck, and after telling him what he thought of a man mean enough to steal permitted him to depart. By reference to the proper department in this issue of the JOURNAL, you will see that our friend, J. S. Cornman, esq., editor of the Carlisle Mirror, "has gone uud done it."— Shake, old friend, and accept the hearty con gratulation of the JOURNAL establishment. The Monitor twits the Orbisonia Leader men about their wholesale stealing from the Hun tingdon papers. This is an old game of theirs, and the items appropriated form the only in teresting part of their paper. It shows that they are judges of a good thing when they see it. The name of the phonograph in German is unsergehausnekeiteitigenfernstehauphfteich t aunsgesprecher. When you wind that up on the cylinder, and leave it till it ,gets cold, and then grind it out, it usually tears the machine to pieces and strikes the house with lightning. —Ex. The Harrisburg Patriot, of Friday last, says that the building of the new penitentiary will not be begun until next spring. We don't know from what quarter that paper got its information, but we believe that it is in error and that work will be begun long before that time. There will be a meeting of the heirs of the Jennings Association held in Morgan's Hall, Camden, New Jersey, on Thursday, December sth. The object of the meeting is to hear the report of Mr. Cook, who has been to England in the interest of the heirs. Numbers of the heirs reside in this county. On Saturday last Judge Dean issued a de cree requiring the Commonwealth to refund $709,50, the amount unduly assessed upon this county by the Board of Revenue Commis sioners for 1878. There is an amount due us for the years 1875-6-7, for the same cause, which will find its way back to the treasury one of these days. The County Commissioners last week in spected the bridge in Oneida township, just built by Weaver & Smiley, and pronounced it a good job. This is known as the "black bridge," the breaking down of which and the killing of Mr. Foster's horses, was noticed in the JOURNAL a month or so ago. Maj. William F. Johnston, of this place, has been appointed, by Governor Hartranft, Sealer of Weights and Measures for this county for the ensuing three years. Ile has received his commission and is now ready for business.— He will make a good officer, and we hope the position will pan out liberally. Men who have future political aspirations should be very careful about putting their names to a petition which has for its object the killing of a project that promises to benefit every section of the county. Things of this kind are not soon forgotten, and they may be very troublesome to satisfactorily explain in the future. A short time since the Commissioners of Blair county brought an action against the State to recover taxes which had been paid the State under protest. The case was tried in the courts of Dauphin county and resulted in a verdict in favor of the Commissioners, which will save Blair county about $l,OOO a year for five years. From the Orbisonia Leader we learn that the shoe store of Mr. Otto, in that place, was entered by burglars, on Tuesday night of last week, and twelve pairs of boots and eleven pairs of shoes, worth sixty-five dollars, car ried off. On the same night an unsuccessful attempt was made to enter the store of A. Krug & Co., of the same place. The store of Green & Houston, at Ennis vine, was burglariously entered, on Friday night last, and robbed of a number of boots and shoes, to the amount of about $2O. The thief effected an entrance from the back part of the building, and did not reach the main part of the store, hence the small amount of goods taken. No clue to the guilty parties. We clip the following truthful remark from an exchange : "No man should deprive his wife and family of a good local paper. They do not get out from home to learn the news as does the husband and the father, and the paper serves to relieve the otherwise lonely hours of his absence. It is the worst possible economy to deprive the family of a pleasure so easily and cheaply procured." Of late there seems to be something wrong in the postal service between - this place and Johnstown. For a week or two past the Tribune of that place does not reach us for two or three days after it is published. Wednes day's issue reached us on Saturday. As live a paper as the Tribune should not be kept in the mail bag until it gets old. Who is re sponsible for these vexatious delays ? Chief justice Lindsay, of the Local ~Vezcs, devotes half a column of his paper this week to instructing the Coanty Commissioners as to their official duties. It must amuse those gentlemen to read his weekly effusions on this subject, knowing as- they do that all he says is said with the view of henefitting him per sonally. In ether words he wants his fingers in the treasury. "Only this and nothing more!' Sunday Morning opened up bright and beautiful, and during the day the weather was all that cQpld be desired, and much pleasanter than we had a reason to expect at this season of the year. Large numbers of our citizens availed themselves of the pleasant weather by indulging in a promenade. The Normal School building seemed to be the objective point; and during the entire day people were going and coming. It is a great pity that the Greenbackers were not successful in nominating and electing brother Lindsay, of the Nova, to Congress.— He would have made a most excellent member of Potter's "smelling" committee, judging from the way lie '•noses" about the Commis sioners' office to find out the amount paid the printers for work done for the county. We would be sorry to have the covetous dispo sition of our friend Lindsay. The old saw, that "a fool and his money is soon parted," is daily demonstrated in a down town establishment of the "Peter Funk" order. Spend your money with responsible dealers, and you will have no occasion to complain of having been "stuck." If you have money to invest consult the advertising columns of the JOURNAL and buy from those whose cards are to be found there. They will deal honorably and give you the worth of your money. The Osceola Reveille says that a Sunday School Convention will be held in the Cleir field Presbyterian Church on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 17th and 18th, 1878, under the auspices of a committee of the Presbytery of gunting4on, which embraces all the Presbyterian churches in the counties of Bedford, Blair, Centre, Clearfield, Huntingdon, Juniata and Mifflin. Each of the churches in the Presbytery is entitled to representation by the pastor, superintendent and two teachers Somebody who seems to have tried it, says : "The latestrnethocl we have beard of fur curing cases of pure sleeplessness, when unaccom panied by pain or disease, is the following : Get out of bed and take a linen bandage—al though a handkerchief, neatly folded long wise, will do as well, perhaps better. Dip one-half the handkerchief into water, pass the wet portion around the wrist, over this lay the dry half, and tuck in the ends so as to make all secure. Lie down again. The wet bandage will be found to exercise a most soothing in fluence on the pulse; this will soon extend all over the nervous system and calm, refresh ing sleep will be the result." Try it. Brilliant and dazzling—the display of hand some jewelry in the establishment of our very clever friend, T. \Vilday Black. lie has one of the largest and best arranged establish ments in the Juniata Valley, and we are pleased to know that lie is doing a good trade in these days of hard times and panic, but this is accounted fur from the fact that he is a liberal advertiser, and that he uses the columns of the JOURNAL—"the handsomest and best paper in the county"—to let the pub lic know what he has for sale. All business men, who desire to do a good trade, should imitate his example. We will try and ac commocate all who wish to avail themselves of the use of our columns. An Altoona jeweler named Shannon, was "diddled" out of three gold watches, on Saturday last, by one of the many sharpers traveling the country in quest of victims.— The man represented that he wanted to take the watches for the inspection of some lady friends who were desirous of purchasing them• The evening previous he had taken them out for the same purpose, but returned them, say ing that the ladies were not at home. He called in the morning, got the watches and has not been heard of up to Monday afternoon the time at which we write. He tried the same game on another jeweler, in the same place, but he couldn't "shut his eye" for the coveted tickers. On last Thursday night Blair county's mag nificent temple ofjustice was illuminated from cellar to dome in honor of a visit from Messrs. Neff. Wright and Weaver, the Commissioners of Huntingdon county. After the gentlemen had inspected every nook and corner of the building they were conducted to the Commis sioners' room and were entertained until the "we hours" on a peck of sour apples, donated by Sheriff Stuffier. The object of the commis sion, besides getting a sight of the Court _House, was to inspect a bridge recently built by Jacob Frees. The timber being used being oak, which is considered by many to be bet ter than pine timber heretofore almost exclu sively used in bridge building. The gentle men departed on Friday morning.—Hollidays burg Correspondence Altoona Tribune. A young man, who gave Altoona as his resi dence, but whose name we have been unable to ascertain, was lodged in jail, on Saturday evening, for "dead-heading" it en the cars.— The story runs that he has a sweetheart in this place, whom he frequently visits, as often as once a week, and as he is in favor of cheap transportation he invariably steals his passage to and from Huntingdon. This piece of in telligence coming to the ears of depot police man Allen, that officer concluded to put a stop to it, and for this purpose kept a strict watch on the trains. On Saturday evening as a train pulled into the depot the young man was ob served snugly located on the bumper of a car, when officer Allen "pulled" him and marched him to Fort Irvin, where be was quartered for the night. We did not hear what disposition was made of Lis case. TEACHERS' INSTlTUTE.—Huatingdon County Teachers' Institute will hold its next annual session in the usual place, December IGth to 20th, 1878. We have not a full pro gramme prepared yet, but we will present a list of topics and questions for teachers to think about and prepare to discuss : 1. Course of study for ungraded country schools. 2. Concert recitations. 3. Object teaching. 4. Should pupils be permitted to use the book in reciting Mental Arithmetic ? 5. Would a teacher be justifiable in sus pending from school, a pupil who persists in the use of tobacco in the school room ? 6. State uniformity of text books. 7. Moral training in public schools. 8. General Information. 9. Should principles of civil government be taught in our public schools? 10. What kind of an education is necessary to make good American citizens ? 11. Should the right of suffrage in a Re public be based upon intelligence ? 12. Importance of teachers reading educa• tional litera ure. 13. To what extent may money be properly expended in adorning the school room? 14. What attention should teachers devote to forming and cultivating in their pupils habits of cleanliness and neatness—tidiness ? 15. Public school examinations—merits. 16. Public school exhibitions—merits. 17. How and to what extent may science lessons be profitably imparted ? 18. Literary exercises for public schools— merits. 19. Merits of map drawing. . _ 20. Is it necessary for a teacher to know more of a subject than be is required to teach ? Dr. E. Brooks of Millersville State Normal School has consented to be with us part of the time. Prof. D. M. Sensenig, late Principal of Indiana State Normal School, will be with us part or all of the week. Miss L. E. - Patridge, of West Philadelphia, most of the week. Full programme, including the evening lec ture course, will appear next week. W. R. BAKER, County Supt. INFANTICIDE.—On Thursday the second writ of habeas corpus ever known in Juniata county was served on the Deputy Sheriff, Jno, C. Moser, to compel him to bring before His Honor, Judge Junkin, Mrs. Mary Shineloff and her daughter Nancy, to enable them to secure bail, they being charged with the killing of an infant of the said daughter, on oath of John Wesley McNew. After hearing the testimony of McNew, his mother and sister, Mrs. Stuart, the Court decided that the offence was not bailable, and remanded both the persons to jail. McNew and sister both swore positively to seeing Mrs. Shtneloff strike the babe with a billet of wood, and that she took it out ; that the daughter shoved it away from her with remarks indicating tliat its death would not be a calamity. They also swore to the necessary indications pointing to Nancy as its mother, and to seeing the nest day some of the positive evidences being removed. These were corroborated fully by old Mrs. McNew, who stated that she was seventy years old and that it was the first time she ever was a wit ness. The whole affair, if the McNews are to be believed, wears an ugly look. Only one side was heard, and of course it was difficult to form an opinion. The credibility of the witnesses will be roughly attacked.—Juniata Tribune. COMMON SENSE, It is simply in keeping with common sense to say that a specialist who gives his undi vided attention to the treatment of a certain class of diseases ought to succeed where prac titioners in general practice may fail. Dr. E. B. Foote, of 120 Lexington Avenue, New York City, has given his exclusive attention to the treatment of chronic diseases for twenty-five years, during which time he has cured thous ands whose faces he has never seen. If you will send to him for his searching list of questions you will see how this has been done in part. Consultations in person or by mail free. Dr. Foote's works, Plain Home Talk embracing Medical Common Sense, Science in Story, etc., are publications well known to the reading public. Taking all of the Doctor's publications together it is not too much to say that millions of copies have been sold. WANTED.-200 Cords Prime New .

SPORTING NOTES Shooting-matches are becoming numerous, What has become of the Huntingdon rifle club? Deer are said to be scarce, so far this sea son, on Warriors' Ridge, where they are usually plenty. Our friend, A. W. Swoope, esq., of Maple ton, made a three-pronged hock bite the duet a kw days ago. A couple of Altoonians, one day last week, killed a hundred and eighty pound buck in the region known as the 'Kettle." Large numbers of "suckers" were caught on dip-nets during the recent rise in the Juniata. We hear that several hundred were taken on Thursday night. It is against the laws of God and man to indulge in Sunday hunting. The crime is all the same whether you have a gun on your shoulder or a pack of dogs at your heels. Messrs. Samuel Straitiff and Elijah Gorsuch. of Oneida township, were the fortunate Nim rods on Friday last, the substantial trophy of their skill being a very fine four-pronged buck. One of the first acts the next Legislature ought to pa:s is a bill making it a penitentiary offense for any one to shoot at an object not seen distinctly enough to enable the hunter to tell whether it is game.—Lewistown Gazette. A shooting-match for turkeys came off at Thompson's, in Juniata township, on Saturday last. A number of marksmen from our town were present, who returned with several turkeys as trophies of their skill with the rifle. William Meredith, an amateur hunter of our town, on Thursday last killed three wild turkeys, one rabbit and one squirrel. He hunted on the "Lick Ridges," where turkeys are said to be very numerous. A four-pronged buck was lying in front of Sammy March's clothing store on Saturday afternoon. We made an effort to ascertain who had made him bite the dust but no person present seemed to know the lucky Nimrod. On Wednesday, a gams of checkers was played between• two experts. J. B. Morrin, the champion player of Clearfield county, knocked the spots off Tom Fisher, the cham pion of Huntingdon, and the rest of mankind. Result, four games for "Bap," three draws, and nothing for Fisher.—Osceola Reveille, of Saturday. Last week a party ofhunters, three men and a young lad, Alonzo Grove, son of Frank Grove, not quite ten years old, started out from Beaver Mills on the Black Moshannon for deer. The party stationed themselves for a "drive," placing the boy Alonzo on a crossing, and shortly a fine two year old buck came bound ing along, and as it neared the lad, he de liberately raised his rifle to position and when the deer came within range sent a bullet di rect to its heart, dropping it dead in its track. The boy's father not being far distant, on hearing the report of the rifle, hastened to the spot, to mark the success of his son.— Upon being asked what he shot, he coolly re plied, "there he lies." The game was voted to the boy, which he sold for twelve dollars and then invested in a suit of clothes from head to foot not even forgetting a pair of boots. This young 'nimrod,' is quite a marksman, as be has bagged some fifteen pheasants this season besides other small game, between school bourn.—Philipsbury Journal. TUE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.—By act of Legislature passed May 24, 1878, the county commissioners, before entering upon their official duties, must "each give bond, with sureties to be approved by the Court of Quarter Sessions, or by one of the judges thereof, in such penalty as the court may deem sufficient, (not less than $2,000 each,) for the faithful discharge of all 'duties en joined upon them by law, and for the faithful and legal appropriation of all county and other moneys which said commissioners have any authority to draw out of the county treasury upon checks or orders given by them, or over which they have control." The effect of this law will be beneficial. It fixes a per sonal responsibility, and will beget more care in the expenditure of public money. When the commissioners feel that they have a per sonal responsibility, and may be hauled up and mulcted in damages for misapplication of funds or improper expenditures, they will think carefully before they act and be sure they are right before they go ahead. It will also relieve commissioners greatly when pressed to do this or that thing that might be allowable. When they plead their liability, if they do what is asked, or run a risk of it, it will oftentimes prove sufficient to turn away an applicant, or cause him to so alter his re quest as to bring it plainly within the limits of the law, that the commissioners may feel safe in their act. We believe the law will prove a wholesome check, satisfactory alike to commissioners and people.—Johnstown Tri bune. BONDS OF COUNTY OFFICIALS.—The bonds of officials have in several counties been so small that the Judges have hesitated to approve them, and, to remedy this evil, the Legislature of 1876 passed an Act basing the security required by Sheriffs, Coroners, Re corders and Register of Wills on population, as determined by the census of 1870. Gov ernor Hartranft has just given force to this enactment by designating the bonds required to be furnished by those officials, largely increasing the aggregate, and making the classification equal according to population , He has also fixed the security required from Prothonotaries and Clerks of Courts, the amounts of the bonds of the former being increased from $588,000 to $850,000 in the aggregate. Under the law of 18T6 the Sheriffs in counties containing between 150,000 to 250,000 inhabitants are required to give a bond in the sum of $60,000; between 50,000 and 150,000, $25,000 ; between 30,000 and 50,000, $15,000 ; between 10,000 and 30,000, $lO,OOO ; under 10,000, $B,OOO. Prothonota ries' bonds have been fixed at from $3,000 to $lO,OOO lower, and Clerks of Court vary from one-eight to one-half below those of the Sheriffs. The bond of the Allegheny County Sheriff is increased from $25,000 to $60,000 , although the county is excluded from the provisions of the Act. There is no change in the bonds of Philadelphia officials. IMPORTANT TO HOTEL KEEPERS AND TRAVELING MrN.—The supreme Court has delivered an opinion which is of great interest to hotel keepers and traveling men. The case was that of John C. Poterfield, of Emlenton, vs. the proprietors of the Central Hotel, of Pittsburgh. During the night Poterfield had his watch, pocketbook and jewelry stolen from his room. He sued the hotel proprietors and recovered the value of the property. The defense claimed they were not responsible because the defendant was drunk and did not know what property he had nor whether he had locked his door, and that the articles—a diamond pin, etc.—were not reasonable and proper for plaintiff to have about his person in the hotel. The court said it adhered to the opinion of the late Judge Williams as to the extent and character of liability of innkeepers for the goods of their guests. An innkeeper is bound to pay for goods stolen in his house from guests, unless stolen by a servant or companion of the guest. It is his duty to provide honest servants and to exercise an exact vigilance over all persons corning into his house as guests or otherwise. The ,udg tuent of the lower court is affirmed b i y the Suprenie Butterick & Co.'s Patterns, for November, ust received at Re-Opening a Thoroughfare. In order to guard against results utterly sub ersive of health, it is absolutely essential that the grand thoroughfare or avenue of the system, the bowels, should be re-opened as speedily as possible when they become ob structed. If•they are not the bile is m'sdirect ed into the blood ; the liver becomes torpid ; viscid bilious matter gets into the stomach, and produces indigestion; l-eadaches ensue, and other symptoms are produced, which a prolongation of the exciting cause only tends to aggrav-te. The aperient properties of Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters constitute a most useful agent in overcoming constriction of the bowels, and promoting a regular habit of body. It is infinitely superior to the drastic cathartics frequently used for the purpose, since it does not, like them, act violently, but produces a natural, painless effect, which does t o: impair the tone of the evacuatory organs, which it invigorates instead of weakens. The stomach and liver, also, indeed the entire system, is strengthened and regulated by it. nov. I-Im.

Chew JACKSON'S BEST Sweet Navy Tobacco N0v.15-ly LUEB.ARY NOTES.- ECLECTIC MAGAZINE.—The December number of the Eclectic has several features particularly appropriate to the time. The steel engraving is a striking portrait of the Earl of Baconsfield, and this is accompanied by a concise but complete and interesting sketch of his career. Apropos of this, there is a pungent paper by Mr. Archi bald Forbes, on "The Fiasco of Cyprus" and this in turn is complimented by an article on "The Austrians in Bosnia." Still another timely paper is that on "Slavery and Polygamy in Turkey," by J. C. McCoan ; and another on "England and America as Manufacturing Competitors," falls into the same category, though it would be valua ble at any time. Other noteworthy papers are : "Animal Intelligence," and Address delivered before the British Association, by G. J. Romanes, {`The first Edinburg Reviewers," by Leslie Ste phen ; "Covin's Revenge," a complete short story; Part IV. of "The Earth's Place in Nature," by J. Norman Lockyer, F. R. S.; "Hallucinations of the Senses," by Dr. Henry Maudsley ; three chapters of William Black's "Macleod of Dare"; "Fred : A tale from Japan"; "Musical Poetry"; and "Belshazzar." Beside these there are several choice poems; and the Editorial Departments are even fuller and more variedly interesttng than usual. Terms $5.00 per year; single copies 45 cents. Published by E. It.
