THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.

FARMERS GUIDE.
r EONARD SCOTT s. Co, No. 50 Gold street
~ Mw Kork. continue ia publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Black wood >
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
ly commenced the publication of u valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
!" FARMERS GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcr,cAL
AGRICULTURE"
BY HENRv STEPHENS, +. H. s., OF Edinburgh, au-
thor Of the ''Book of the Farm, &C., &C.; assisted
by JOHN p. NoRroN, M "A, New Haven Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &C., &c
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with lS or 20 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 600 engravings on wood, in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement Of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughng, planting
haying, harvesting, &c, &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render it of incaculable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers Of 81 pages each, exclusive OF the Steel
engravings and is sold at IS cents each or IS for
the entire work in numbers, of which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol-
lows, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW CONSERVATIVE,
The EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRIrIsH REVIEW Gree church,,
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal.)
AND
BLAcKwoop's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion of their contents devoted to political sub
jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con
fessedly far above all other journals oftheir class
Blackwood, still under the mastery guidance Of
Christopher North, maintains it's ancient celebrity
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works of Bulwer and other literary notables
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and "My
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsufar
Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials,
OF which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages
Blackwood, after has been issued by uessrs. Sco.-
& Co., SO that subscribers to the reprint of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading Of these fascinating tales.3

MEMORIAL.

To the Senate and House Of Representatives 4fthe
United States u, Congress assembled: The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September, 1850, that they informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be-
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted: that If patented to them, the
expense Of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriasts further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun e,
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most INTEL
igent and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assgnable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

A Resurrection.-In 1900, the 3lst regiment
was serving in Holland, and at Egmont-op-
Zee crossed bayonets with the French reei-
ment bearing the same number. A ball fred
during the retreat Of the latter regiment pass
ed through the jaws of British foot soldier
of the 3lst, named Robert Hullock. In the
course of the afternoon he was buried in the
sand hill where he had fallen, by soldier of
his regiment named Carnes. During the night
Hullock recovered, and having been lightly CO.
vered with sand, crept out and crawled to
picket of his regiment posted near. He was
sent to the hospital, recovered, and was sew
ing with his regiment in Malta in 1906. His
face having been much dis6gured, and his voice
scarcely ineligible, "a part of his tongue and
palate having been carried away) he had for
some years served as pioneer to his company
A soldier of it died, and Hullock, as part of
his duty, dug the grave, in which he was found
on the arrival of the body for interment, still
at work, though then near ten feet deep. On
being drawn out, and asked his reason for ma
king it so unusually deep, he replied -"Well,
sir, it is for poor John Carnes, who buried me;
and | think, sir, if get him that deep, it will
puzzle him to get out as did," On the burial
service being read, he proceeded to fill up the
grave, and actually buried the man who ten
years previously had buried him. Hullock was
discharged and pensioned in lsl4--Unite
Service Journal.
