Professing to be an honest man, the candi date of an honest organization, I favor honest money. The volums of the currency should be reg ulated by legitimate demand, and not by the requirements of bankrupts and wild specula tors. The currency should be redeemable as early as the exigencies of the Government will per mit, in the currency recognized by all civili zed nations. The contracts of the Government should be held as sacred as the contracts of individuals, and the bonds, the evidence of its indebted. ness, should be paid according to the under standing between the Government and the lender.—Speech a Butler, Sept. 2, 1878.

THE Massachusetts communists still think that Butler stole the spoons and want him to divide. NOTWITHSTANDING the demoralization of the Democrats in Maine and their sur render in Massachusetts, they still go whist ling through their political grave-yard. Ir a man would attempt to steal nine millions of dollars from the State while a State Senator, what would he do if elected Governor 1' If you would not be willing to trust him, dont vote for Dill. B. 8.. FOUST has devoted his whole life to money making. He has never had another thought or a higher aspiration. He knows nothing else, has no information upon public affairs, does not sympathise with the poor, cares for none but those who bring the greenbacks to his coffers, and is in every way unqualified and incompetent to be a representative of the people. SPUR, in his organ No. 1, propounds the query : "Has the law firm of Woods & Williamson been dissolved ?" As Mr• Williamson has discarded the law to attend to the duties of the Prothonotary's office, and will continue to discharge said duties for the ensuing three years, we have no doubt that the law firm of Woods & Wil liamson no longer exists. There are Republican members of this Bar, who openly declare that they will vote for Jackson, because they are emphatically op posed to Orlady.—Speer's organ No. 1. This is a lie out of the whole cloth.— There is not one Republican lawyer who will vote for Jackson, and only two or three Democratic ones who will. They want a man who is competent to discharge the duties of that office, and in Maj. Orlady they have such a man. He will not only "try to do his duty," but he WILL DO IT. Vote for Orlady. REPUBLICAN POLICY SUSTAINED. From the beginning of time, in all lands and under every form of government the party in power has always been the shield against which have been thrown the shafts of malice. The fierce light which beats against the throne illuminates the most trifling fault, and what would be a mistake ow of power, is sharpened and magnified into a fault when in power. Only a fool would assert that the Republican party has not made mistakes, but they have grown up like a few weeds that will creep into an extensive and magnificent garden. The beauty of the flowers and its superb and lus cious fruits in their endless variety make completely insignificant the harmless weed that steals up in some obscure corner. This grand party sprang into existence when the country was bankrupt in means, contempti- ' ble in the eyes of other nations, and dishon ored in the eyes of the world, as a republic boasting of its free institutions, yet holding millions of slaves. It was a party without organization, opposed by a party whose President and cabinet had, either through connivance or actual assistance,robbed the arsenals of arms, scattered the navy to the ends of the earth and paralyzed the army with the sole view of promoting armed re bellion and disintegrating the United States. When the thunders of Beaure gard's guns echoed from the broken walls of Sumpter, leaping from the granite beds of Maine to the fair slopes of the Pacific, it was that the Republican party leaped into existence. It was the new party that was to wipe off the shame that stained the nation's brow. break the bonds of the slaves and settle for all time that treason could have no foothold in this country. Stead fastly, in the face of bitterest resistance it pursued this lofty purpose. Driving out of power the imbecile Buchanan and his traitor advisers, it organized armies, filled the pilfered arsenals with arms, created a navy, and on the baseless fabric of empty vaults, built up a Treasury that supported millions of men and literally crushed the boldest and most magnificently proportion ed rebellion on the world's record. Thous ands were the lives that were given to bring about this end, but, as if to hold up to all future history how sacred was the struggle and how holy was its accomplishment, the assassin sealed it with the blood of Abra ham Lincoln. Since that time the lenien cy shown to the traitors against the repub lic has been steadily working to the injury of the party. We do not assert an ap proach to an exaggeration when we say that the day Lee's army surrendered there spread through the South a feeling of ter ror that lived until the words of forgive ness from the Republican party poured oil over their troubled minds. Instead of bringing forth the fruits of repentance, the universal result was hatred towards the gov• erament that had pardoned them, persecu tion and murder of its officials, and an awful record of cruelty towards the ignor ant freedmen. At every step the Repub lican party was met by a desire for disorder- Years have been wasted in Congress to pacify these unhappy people throughout the South. Years have been consumed trying to lead them in the path of right and to protect from their vengeance the millions of blacks. To this constant tur moil in the South is to be attributed much of the financial distress in the country. The merchant is a conservative by nature, and seeing how little the merchants of the South were deserving of credit under such anarchy, the Northern capitalists would not encourage trade in that section. By the natural influence of trade the feeling of fear of some unknown evil that was re ally ignis fatuus, the lack of confidence spread to the West, thence by the same logic to the East, until that hydra-headed fiend to the success of business, a general :cant of confidence, pervaded the entire community. As a natural sequence came the stopping of mills, foundries and facto ries, the breaking down of solid business houses, the appalling sacrifice of all kinds of stocks and bonds, the boundless depre ciation of real estate. Millions of opera tives in every branch of industry, who had up to this period been able to possess comfortable homes were compelled to herd into tenement houses. The pawnbroker flourished while the artizan suffered, and gaunt famine stalked where gleesome pros perity had made happy firesides. We as sert that this state of affairs was brought about solely by the opponents of the Re publican party. While it was untrammel ed the country was prosperous, and only when fought against by treason without its lines and treachery within, did sorrow come upon the people. Now this is the party that is arraigned by the Honorable R. M. Speer, Chairman of the Democratic State Committee, in a speech delivered at McConnelsburg, Sept. ' 6th 1878. The sad picture he draws of the condition of the country is the strong est condemnation of the Democratic party. Much of this speech is devoted to a de nunciation of the national banking system. Cannot Mr. Speer remember when the country merchant had to make a large per centum of allowance on his annual profit and loss estimate to the large discount upon a curreney that comprised innumerable banks of all kinds about which few people knew anything. The wild-cat bank has ruined many a merchant and cost the country millions of dollars. The traveller from Maine could only use his currency in Alabama by having it largely shaved, and should he get back to Maine with his Alabama currency there came another shave. Does not Mr. Speer know that for the guarantee from the government of the inviolability of the national banking cur rency, and the convenience of having this currency passable at all parts of the country , that every merchant feels he gets off cheaply for the expense of the system ? The mer chant is always willing to pay something, when he gets something in return. Has Mr. Speer ever heard of a national bank note going to protest ? Can he enumerate the thousands of bank notes, under the old system, which were worth protesting ? But, not content with assailing the national bank note he advocates the substitution of the greenback. He would establish a power at Washington controlling the cur rency of the people subject to all the changes that arise from political mutations under the plea that it would be cheaper. Editor. He would svrell the avenues of trade with pieces of paper having no value, but a promise to pay money by the Treasury, when back of it he knows would be no capital to cover it. Every merchant would know that the time might come when the great Central Bank at Washington might be embarrassed, could not pay its notes on demand, and then would come a flood of embarrassment that can only be imagined. Instead of having a financial system having its headquarters in every town, with the people of that town as stockholders to watch its condition, he would destroy this perfect means of protection because it costs something ! Another burden of Mr. Speer's speech is the comparative expense of running the state and national governments. his comparisons savor of the logic of the father when he complains to his wife that it is vastly more expensive to support a dozen children than one. His sad complaint about the increase of the expense of the legislattire at the present time does not mention the fact that the numbers were largely increased by the last constitutional convention, and which the Democrats ap proved by their votes. lle does not men tion the fact that the expenditure upon the capitol buildings at llarrisburg were absolutely necessary to accommodate this increased number of Representatives. Then the objection is made that the salary of the Governor of the great State of Pennsyl vania has been raised to $lO,OOO !! Yet Mr. Speer knows that it is no uncommon thing for a good lawyer like himself to re ceive a single fee of that amount. lie knows that there are thousands of merchants who think that a small sum for their time and trouble for a year's business, yet, for the Executive ability demanded in the chief magistrate of a State, he thinks $lO,OOO a great extravagance. Taking Mr. Speer's speech as a whole he demands the reinstatement of the power that cost this country millions to destroy. He demands the establishment of a cur rency with nothing to back it. Ile in dulges in general tirade against the govern ment that is vastly increased in machinery and consequently in expense, and would go back to times when log cabins were our homes. To cry down the erection of elaborate public buildings is to resist the advance of the arts and a proper education of a better public taste. It is but the old cry of the demagogue who would measure the people by the cheap cry of dollars and cents, suppressing the fact that if a people is ever to be anything it must expect to pay for it. We call upon the people" to resist the advance of dishonest currency, dishonest ideas and misstated facts. The evil of the day is the political unrest that has been caused by the ambition for place and pow er of the enemies of the country. We call upon all members of the party to unite to meet the advance of deluded men who, blind to the fact that their leaders are blind, are seeking their own ruin and com mon disaster. Only in the triumph of the Republican party can we hope to return to a state of prosperity. Only by the defeat of the two parties that are by different roads advancing to strike at the interests of the people can we ever hope to see the thousands of workmen now idle enjoying the fruits of labor. Honest money, honest government, and the faithful carrying out of contracts, are the principles upon which the Republican party goes into this strug gle. Money that is no money, and the viola tion of sacred obligations are what the op posing parties advocate. That there can be any doubt of choice among these three parties by upright, honorable men, we do not believe. WHEN the Monitor is about to tell some thing it knows not to bo true, it begins by saying "wo have been reliably informed." It is with this phrase that it introduces its assertion that the JOURNAL'S editorials are written by a committee. But, as if to show the re-lie ability of its information and of itself, it says that the persons who write them "would be ashamed and afraid to be known as the authors." And that remark proves that the Monitor knows nothing about it. Why should anybody be ashamed or afraid ? The editors of the JOURNAL avow their responsibility for what appears in its columns, have had no reason to blush on account of anything it contained and would have no fear of the .ffonitor and all the rest of the rebel army. THE nomination of Hon. H. G. Fisher, of Huntingdon, as the Republican candi date for Congress in this district, appears to have had a terrible effect on the Demo cracy, and especially the Democracy of Huntingdon county. Speer, who is run ning the Democratic and Greenback parties of Huntingdon county, shows that he is almost beside himself since the nomination of Fisher. The Greenback Nationalist, controlled by Speer, is snapping around like a mad dog at every person who does not train under the orders of Speer, the salary-grabber. The vicious snapping and lying inuendoes of the Nationalist has the effect of showing the "critter" in his true light, and proves that it is the wailings of disappointed hopes.—Advoc ate and Press. Rev. M. P. Doyle, the Greenback candidate for legislature in Huntingdon county, has is• sued a challenge to any candidate on the Re publican ticket in that county ; or any other responsible gentleman of that party to a full and fair public discussion of the issues of this campaign. Rev. Doyle can paddle his own canoe, because he holds the right oars.—Cen tre Herald. Well, Mr. Doyle's challenge has been accepted, and we will see whether he can "paddle his own canoe" more successfully than when he stranded it upon the Demo. cratic breakers that unexpectedly loomed up when he launched it upon the sea of Greenbackism. He has shown himself to be a poor pilot, and by the ides of Novem. ber his leaky craft will be sunk so deep that plummet-line can never reach it. How do the "starving millions," that have neither employment nor money, nor bread, nor clothes, nor fuel for their suf fering families, defray the expenses of pro. cessions, and pay for horses, and wagons, and flags, and bands, and speakers, and ribbons, and rings, and things such as one sees at such a tremendous (?) outpouring (?) as that of Saturday ? Respectfully referred to the latest arrival from—"no, not Naza reth," &c. FOUST WANTS TO VACATE THE CANAL. "It is a Mean Bird That Befouls its Own Nest." Of all contemptible and dangerous men he is the meanest who is untrue to the in terests of his own lucality,who gets his liv ing off those he tries to injure. A man who thus opposes the interests of his neigh bors should be exposed and thenceforth never trusted. Universal love for all man kind may, to some extent, be commendable, but he that provides not for his own has denied the faith and is worse than an infi del. B. R. Foust, who wants to be a Legislator, is such a man. Either from ignorance or corruption, or something worse, he is, and. has been, opposed to the interests of his neighbors and the people, and is therefore unfit to be their represen tative. Here is the proof : Last winter the P. R. R Co., with all the power of its mo nopolizing corporation, tried to get an act passed by the Legislature to vacate the canal from Huntingdon to the mouth of the Juniata ricer. Although the canal is owned by the railroad, yet it has remained in some measure a rival line, and in the summer season affords dealers in coal, grain and merchandise a cheaper transportation for their goods. When the question was before the Leg islature last winter the Act vacating the canal was only defeated by the stubborn and untiring resistance of the Senators and members along the line of the canal, back ed up as they were by the protesting re sistance of the people. In this trying hour, one of the Huntingdon county members wrote to B. It. Foust, at Mill Creek, (and other men along the line of the canal), to get statements of the business done on the canal at the several points, so as to present an argument against its vacation. What was his surprise to get a letter from this Green Democratic-Reformed-Labor candi date saying : "THE CANAL IS OF NO USE, AND THAT THE DAMS HAD BETTER BE TAKEN OUT OF THE RIVER SO AS TO LET THE FISH UP." Let Foust deny this if he dare. Let him dare to say ha did not thus write to one of our members. We have the proof. Yes, Foust, the Green back and Shad-bully candidate, wants to vacate the canal, and would so vote if elect ed. Boatmen, merchants, dealers in coal and grain, and everybody that buys or sells, do you want a man sent to Harrisburg who has no idea of or regard fur the wants of the community, who would trade all the advantages of the canal traffic fur half a dozen shad ? What do we want with this Esau and Arnold in a place where he can destroy our facilities for cheap transporta tion ? He is either too stupid to know what we need or he is owned by the rail road monopolists. Voters, shun this man at the polls as one opposed to the interests of the poor. The people in and about Alexandria and Waterstreet, where the canal has been abandoned, know what it is to suffer from a vacated canal. Once they could ship and receive goods at their wharves, but now they must haul great distances. The iron works and other industries are totally de stroyed, and all this is to gratify men like Foust. And yet, with an effrontery that equals Satan when he appears as an angel of light, B. R. Foust has paid $25.00 to have his name painted on a boat. This boat, for a number of years had upon it the name of Prof. A. L. Guss, late editor of the Globe, but Foust, who says "the ca nal is of no use," has had the Professor's name daubed out, and his own daubed over it. He is willing to pay to have his name floating in honor over waters which he would dry up as useless. Let boatmen and all others know that it is to H. G. Fisher and Messrs. Port and Dewees that they are indebted for saving the canal. In such hands the interests of the people are always safe, but they are never safe in the hands of men like Foust and Doyle. AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.-A corres pondent, in the lower end of the county, sends us the following squib, which con tains an ugly question for the owner and manager of two newspapers to answer. "Mr. Speer, in his organ No. 2, charges Mr. Williamson and others with fraud in packing the jury-box so that an entire term of court was broken up, costing the county some $4,000. Will he please have some of his mudslingers tell the tax-payers of our county how much the two Courts he broke np, on technical grounds, in the Reese case, oost the county, all that he might save a murderer from the gallows, and gain for himself popularity and a big fee ? If one costs $4,000 two should cost $B,OOO. How is it ?" ORGAN No. 1 of last week tries to ex plain how it happened that Baker's forged letter appeared in it two days in advance of its publication in organ No. 2, in which sheet it was intended it should first appear. After spending the third of a column one of the "Editorial Band" makes it as clear— as mud. These papers, as their pimps as sert, "want the patronage of the Commis sioners' office," and as Mr. Baker would not suit their purpose he was thrown off the ticket without his consent or knowl edge, and he knew nothing of the exist ence of such a letter until he read it in Speer's organs. He says it was a fbrgery, and he would likely know. SPEER'S organ No. 1 has fallen into the same error with organ No. 2, and asserts that Dr. Atkinson was "seriously wound ed in the war of the Rebellion." Although Dr. Atkinson did valiant service in the suppression of the Democratic rebellion, he passed through it without carrying Democratic rebel lead in his body. "Dr. Atkinson is a gentleman of culture, and an able lawyer," and he contemptuously spurns the mock sympathy expressed for him by the organs of a man who did all in his power—except risk his hide—to de stroy the Union which the Doctor risked his life to save. ORGAN No. 2 of this week publishes, as editorial, the article written by Mr. Speer defamatory of the character of Mr. Wil liamson and published as editorial in organ No. 1 last week. Do you see who runs these organs? DILL'S STEAL PREVENTED BY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. The bill which has become famous as the "Dine million steal," was so called be cause it proposed to take nine millions of dollars from the oinking fund of the State and give it to a railroad company away up in the wilds where there was no induce ment to build a railroad except to get that amount of money. Andrew 11. Dill, now Democratic candidate for Governor, was then a State Senator, and not only voted for the bill, but was a champion of the measure, advocating it warmly in debate. Mr. Dill was recently challenged for this action in Delaware county and had not a word to say in its defence. Is this one of the State issues that Mr. Speer wants dis cussed, if the candidates meet on the same platform ? Mr. Dill would perhaps object. If this attempted steal had been successful, then the dashing Chairman of the Demo• cratic Committee would have included it in his long list of Republican expenditures. But as the Republican party is charged with the entire cost of crushing a Demo cratic rebellion, it ought at least to have credit with saving the nine millions that Dill would have stolen. A LUNATIC named Cohen, the leader of the Greenback and Commune element of Washington, has been endeavoring for a week past to inaugurate a strike in the capital of the nation. Ho marshaled a large number of persons as crazy as him self and marched them from place to place compelling workmen, who were getting less than $1.50 per day, to abandon their work. The authorities finally put a stop to his attempts to get up a labor,revolt by refusing to allow him to bold public meet ings for the purpose of inciting his igno- rant followers to acts of violence. What do honest men, of all parties, think of a party that is led by such men as Cohen ? WE are in receipt of the first number of the Sunday Times, and we unhesitatingly pronounce it the best Sunday paper in the country. It is a large eight-page sheet, giving the latest news, from all parts of the world, up to the hour of going to press, besides letters from the best and brightest correspondents that can be se cured, while its editorial columns evince ability of the highest order. Its typo graphy is faultless ; but to be brief it is the best and most perfect newspaper published between the oceans. "Suppose Rev. M. P. Doyle did mean Hell in the jocular utterance in the late National convention with which he stands charged, what of it.--Mr. Speer in hie organ No. 2. Nothing much, so long as he did not look to the Democratic party for "salva tion," "a thing he never thoughtof in his life" until he discovered that the vote of that party was necessary to give him even the ghost of a chance of an election. And having said so, he ought to have manhood enough to stand to his utterances. THE latest advices from the yellow fever districts indicate an abatement of the disease in New Orleans, but in Mem phis it is as bad, if not worse, than it has been since its appearance. The disease is also spreading to the country towns, and great suffering is the result. There seems to be no likelihood of staying the disease until there is a heavy killing frost, and from present indications this seems to be far off. IT Is an old saying amongst printers, "the more italic the less brains," and we have never seen the truth of the old saw more truthfully portrayed than by the "Editorial Band" who figure in Speer's newspapers. In a column of slanderous stuff against Mr. Williamson, written by a member of the "Editorial Band" and pub lished in organ No. 1 last week, there are only ninety-three italicised words ! THE Democratic Congressional Confer ence of this district which has been in ses sion, for over a week, is still balloting, and at the 320th ballot the vote stood Steng er 9 and Magee 9. It is a loss of time, for we propose to elect Fisher over any man who may be pitted against him, i ipeer and his hired scribblers to the contrary not withstanding. 'Rah for Fisher ! IF General Hoyt had such a record as Dill, how the Democrats would cry out against the election of such a man as that, But as Hoyt's private and official life is above attack, they do not attempt to com pare the two men. Silence is what they desire concerning the acts of their candi date. WHEN the Republican party came into power in 1861, it found the Government paying interest on its indebtedness at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum; it is now selling bonds easily and rapidly bearing an interest of only 4 per cent. Vote the Republican ticket. FAA:NIERS, mechanics, laborers and every person desiring the prosperity of Hunting don, remember that Speer's hired scribblers are opposed to locating the new penitentiary in this place. Remember this when you come to deposit your votes. SPEER wants to know, and asks the question in his organ No. 2 of this week "If Fisher is going to resign." Why, of course he won't resign. He ain't going to do so to please the Democrats and Com munists. Nary time. REV. DOYLE, up to the hour we go to press, has failed to reply to Chairman Isenberg's letter accepting his challenge to meet him on the stump, Is his talk all "bunkum ?" THE Mud-Slinger still persists in assert ing that H. G. Fisher bought his nomina tion at Newport, but the story is so silly that nobody believes it, not even the hired scribbler himself. THE "Editorial Band" that gets up the stuff for Speer's organs, has Mud. Slinger No• 2 filled with the filthiest kind of filth this week. THE bluest looking chaps on Saturday were the Greenbackers who were expect ing delegations from the rural districts. "Mud-Slinger" is good.—Organ No. 2. And very appropriate when applied to Mr. Speer's organ. SUBSCRIBg for the JOURNAL, POLITICAL CHOW-CHOW. —Foust was to be seen lurking about Speer's office on Saturday last. —Speer publishes his McConnellsburg speech in his newspaper No. 1 of last week. —lf you want to increase the price of every ar ticle necessary for the sustenance of life, vote the Greenback ticket, and flood the country with an irredeemable currency. —lt is a great wonder that Salary Grabber Speer don't charge the yellow fever scourge on the Republican party. Soule of his followers would believe it if he were to do so. —The Oil City Times will have its hands full if it m anages to keep some very prominent men in the Democratic party "straight." We have no "shirt-tail" orators in the list of our State can vassers. —Philip King, of Walker, was the only man in the Greenback committee meeting, on Saturday, who was not willing to wear Speer's collar about his neck. But he was voted down by those in the "ring." —lf you desire to pave the way for another panic, you can do so by assisting to eltat the Greenbackers to office. The wild theories of that party, if put into practice, would make every other man a beggar. —Republicans are warming up to the work, and Huntingdon county will give a good report in No ber, and retain her position as one of the reliable Republican counties of the Commonwealth. Hoop 'er up, boys ! —State Chairman Speer is in the habit of wri ting political editorials for the Huntingdon Moni tor, which are detected by the apparent sameness of the author and the productions.—Bellefonte Re publican. —The scribblers on the editorial staff of the Monitor have all got the "kaniption fits" because Fisher won't resign his seat in the Senate. Well, he won't do it, and he won't vote for Speer for United States Senator either. —The little band of soribblers,who are paid out o the Five Thousand Dollar Salary Grab to write the editorials for Speer's newspapers, are vieing with esoh other to see who can throw the filthiest and largest quantities of inuoi. —Our friend, lion. R. B. Brown, of Clarion, had his Senatorial aspirations nipped in the bud by the conference naming another fellow for that position. As a Demoorat will represent that dis trict we should have been pleased to have seen our friend make the riffle. —We have received a couple of numbers of the Greenback Visitor, a little 8110 sheet issued at Edenburg, Clarion county, which is the poorest excuse for a newspaper that we have seen for many a day. Its contents are nonsensical while its typography would be disgraceful to a "devil" of a month's experience. —New Orleans Picayune : "Peopleargne on the finance question because they do not understand it. And the less they know, the more they argue." This is what we have been telling a couple of in dividuals in this place for a month past, but they imagine they know more about the finances than either Sherman or Boutwell. —Speer's organs are particularly abusive of Hon. H. G. Fisher and W. McK. Williamson, esq., but these gentlemen are too well known in this county to be injured by anything that the hired scribblers, who compose the "Editorial Band" of these papers, can say about them. —Messrs. Smith and McVitty, if elected, will vote for a Republican for United States Senator, while Foust and Doyle, in case of their election, will vote for a Democrat for that position. Every person, whether, Republican, Democrat or Green backer, who is opposed to the payment of Rebel war claims by our Government should vote for Smith and McVitty. —Andy Dill wrote letters to prominent Demo crats in Centre county, pending the Congressional contest between Meek and Curtin, imploring them to nominate the latter individual, saying that the result in the State depended upon his candidacy. Rather a small business for a man aspiring to the Governorship of a great State like Pennsylvania. —Rev. Doyle, one of the Greenback candidates for Assembly in Huntingdon county, must have studied something in an arithmetic that compound ed something after the fashion of the flies. In his discourse at the greenback meeting at Birmingham a few nights ago, to illustrate some point on the banking system, he took two men with $15,000 each.

Brownell, the art-editor of "The New York World." Among the illustrations are specimens of drawings from the cast and from life by pupils of the three schools, viz., those of The National Academy of Design, taught by L. E- Wilmarth ; the Art Students' League, taught by Walter Shirlaw; and the Cooper Union, taught by Wyatt Eaton and Swain Gifford;—the design of both text and pictures being to reflect, as far as possible, the different metbeds of the three schools. "A Com pany of Actors," by J. Brander Matthew', is an account of the leading theatre of the world, The Comedie Francaise, with much anecdote and per sonal gossip, and with outs of Croixette, Sarah Berahardt, Delannay, Got, Coquelin Aine, and others. "A Trip with Lincoln, Chase and Stan ton," in 1862, is described by Gen. Egbert L. Viele, who gives some new stories of the President and tells atnid what stupidity the capture of Norfolk was affected. "Artemus Ward at Cleveland" by C. C. Ruthrauff, shows the kindly as well as the eccentric side of the humorist, who was also a good deal of a practical joker. A laughable sketch of "A. Ward and his Grate Show," and a view of him at work (both by George Hoyt in 1859), and his portrait and autograph are given with the paper. "Leo Marinus, the Sea-King," by Henry W• Elliot, is an account of the sea-lion of Alaska, whose capture and driving (by aid of the blue gingham umbrella) are made vivid by illustrations. "How Uncle Gabe Saved the Levee," is a story of the Mississippi River, by Wm. L. Murfree, Sr., with an illustration by Allan C. Redwood. "Miss Calderon's German," a society story by W. H. Bishop, has drawings by the author The serials are illustrated: "Boyesen's "Falconberg," by Mr. Dielman, who (the author says), has cleverly caught the Norse physiogomy ; and "Rory" (which comes to a conclusion in this number), by Mr. Shirlaw. The illustrated material comprises a second posthumous paper by Robert Dale Owen, on "Texas and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo," which is chiefly in defense of the art of the United States in the Mexican war and a history of the extraordinary illegal negotiations of the treaty by which the war was ended; a paper,on "Neophono graphy," by the inventor of the system, James Richardson, a short-hand writer of long experi ence; a sketch of "College Journalism" in Ameri ca, by Charles F. Thwing, and an essay on "Socialised," by Prof. W. G. Sumner, of Yale College, who considers the historic origin and the aims, fallacies and methods of the new movement. The poetry is contributed by Bret Harte, James T. McKay, Minnie Fry, Susan M. Spalding, Andrew B. Saxton, Henry S. Cornwell and Dora Read Goodale. In "Topics of the Time," Dr. Holland writes of "The Premier at a Premium," "Our Garner ',ll, Poets," and "The Capitalist and the Laborer." "The Old Cabinet," is about "The Dominion of Canada." There is a "Communication" about "Points in the Copyright Discussion." "Home and Society" has advice. "The Beginner in Journalism." "Culture and Progress" has the usual quantity of book notices and some informa tion about "Foreign Art Journals." "The World's Work" deals with "Portable Railways." "Im proved Steam-Engine," "Dosilvering Lead Base Bullion by Eleotroysis," etc., etc. "Bric-a-Brao" completes the number "Haworth's," Frances Hodgson Burnett's new novel, will begin in the November number. The first installment will have four pictures by Bolles and Dielman. The table of contents of the Eclectie Magazine for October embraces nineteen titles, including the four Editorial Departments; and we can hardly convey a better idea of its variety and interest than by simply reproducing it. It is as follows : "The Rise and Progress of Ultramontanism in Germany," by Professor Von Schulte; "Music and Musical Criticism," by Edmund Gurney; "Social Aspects of the Paris Exposition," by Miss M. Betham-Edwards • "Bryant and AmericaniPoetry," taken from the Saturday Review; "Iceland," a lively descriptive paper by Anthony Trollope ; "A Ballad of Prose and Rhyme," by Austin Dob son • "4. Reminiscence of Charlotte Cushman ;" "The Rapes of Asiatic Turkey," by J. McCoan, editor of the Levant Herald; "The Moon's Myriad Small Craters,"'by Richard A. Proctor, B. A. ; Chapters XXVIII. to XXXI. of "Macleod of Dare," by William Black; "The Runic Stone," a touching little poem, translated from Heine; "Sainte-Beuve's Critical Method;" "The Effect of Light on Plants ;" "Drifting Down the Thames," a poem ; a biographical sketch of the Grand Duke Nicholas, of Russia, by the editor ; Literary Notices; Foreign Literary Notes; Science and Art Notes ; Varieties. The portrait of the Grand Duke Nicholas is a very delicate and finished specimen of the engraver's art. E. It. PELTON, PuOlisher, 25 Bond Street, New York. Another Fat Man Reduced. H. A. KUIPTIS, dealer in dry-goods, Woodhull, 111., writes BOTANIC MaDICINE CO., Buffalo, N. Y., June 22d, 1878 : "Gentlemtn—Please find inclosed $5.00, for which send me, by express Anti-Fat. I have taken one bottle and I loot five and one-quarter pounds." The Stepping Stone to Health. The acquisition of vital energy is the step ping stone to health. When the system lacks vitality, the various organs flag in their duty, become chronically irregular, and disease is eventually instituted. To prevent this unhap. py state of things, the debilitated system should be built up by the use of that inimita ble tonic Hostetter's Stomach Bitters which invigorates the digestive organs, and insures the thorough conversion of food into blood of a nourishing quality, from whence every muscle, nerve and fiber acquire unwonted supplies of vigor, and the whole system expe riences the beneficial effect. Appetite returns, the system is refreshed by healthful slumber, the nerves grow strong and calm, the despon dency begotten of chronic indigestion and an uncertain state of health disappears, and that saliow appearance of the skin peculiar to habitual invalids, and persons deficient in vital energy, is replaced by a more becoming tinge.
