the debtors to newspaper publishers to consider
their demands as the last 70 be paid--debts to
which there is attacked no moral obligation. and
which they can refuse to pay with justice and
honor: hence, il il incumbent upon the conduc-
tors of the press to assert their own rights, and
resolve, severally and jointly to bring all patrons
Of newspapers under the same obligations that

WOMAN AS VIRGIN, WIFE AND MorHER-TNr-
ner & Fisher, Netc York and Phiiadelphia.-Here is
whole volume of philosophy, contained in a neat

PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
-Hd'per brothers, Ntto Y0rk.-This is a reprint
from an admirable series of tracts, published by the
T" London Society for the Diffusion of Useful Know
ledge" They always had large crcul ation in that
metropolis, not simply from their inherent merits
but from the fact of most of the memoirs being from
the pen OF Lord Brougham. We be speak for this
book most extensive circulation, as its form per-
fectly adapts il for either the book shelf Of the
scholar or the studio of the mechanic
WORD WoMEN-By Caroline Fru-Carev
D. Hart, PhiiadeiphiG.--This book is from the pen
OF lady well known in the religious world. It, of
course, incucates her peculiar views, and will be
read by all her admirers.
The CIVIL ENGISEER AND ARCHITECTS jour
NAL-September, 1889, LOndon-Nep York agent,
Jackson.-This periodical is of a purely scientific
character, and that essential all engineers
and architects. Each number is illustrated with
engravIngs wood, from the BURNS of some of the
best artists, and we should think that it would cir
culate pretty largely in this country although it
might not prove profitable to reprint it here.
THE FAMILY VIsIrER AND SILK CULTURIsr.-
Foster, Fulton street, Neto York.-This is a very
interesting periodical and if the silk culture can be
prcftably carried on here, why, such a work must
tend to bring about so desirable a result.

Before Judge Belts.

The United Seates Us. James Meuse-an indict-
ment for larceny on board the ship EngIand-Ita APP
peared, from the testimony Of a Mr. Lovett that he
was passenger board the ship, on her passage
from Liverpool to this port, in the month of Decem-
Der last. On Christmas day, the second cabin pas
sengers had bit OF frolic, attended with drink
ing scrape, and little gambling. Just before they
retired to their berths, conversation took place
about money, when some proposed to bet Lovett
that he had not certain sum in gold, He took up
the bet, and took out cotton bag from his berth.
which he offered to the first steward as proof that
he had won the wager. The first steward gave the
money to the second, and he told the owner that il
should be returned in the morning The following
day they both denied all knowledge of the gold; and
on their arrival in New York they were both arrest
ed, but no sovereigns forthcoming
Mr. Shaler appeared for the prisoner, and set up
IN his defence, that part Of the stolen property
had ever been seen in his possession and the learn
ed gentleman also called in several witnesses who
gave his client good character.
The Jury acquitted the prisoner, after an absence
OF nearly an hour And the Court adjourned.
