THE GREAT BRITISH QUARTERLIES
l. AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE

Important reduction in the rates of post
age! LEONARD SCOTT & Co., No. ST,
Gold street, New York, continues to publish
the following British Periodicals, viz:
The London Quarterly review, (Conser-
vative,)
The Edinburgh Review, (Whig)
The North British Review, Free Church, J
The Westminster Review, Liberal, ana
Blackwoods Edinburgh Magazine, (Tory. J
Those Reprints have now been in sue
cessful operation in this country for twenty
years, and their circulation is constantly
on the increase, notwithstanding the COM
petition they encounter from American pc
riodicals of similar class, and from nu-
merous Eclectics ahd Magazines made up
of selections from foreign periodicals.
This fact shows clearly the hi gh estimation
in which they are held by the intelligent
reading public, and affords guarantee
that they are established on a firm basis,
and will be continued without interruption.
Although these works are distinguished
by the political shades above indicated, vet
but a small portion of their contents is de-
voted to political subjects. 1t is their
literary character which gives them their
chief value, and in that they stand con-
fessedly far above all other Journals of
their class. Blackwood, still under the
mastery guidance of Christopher North,
maintains its ancient celebrity, and is ut
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 the United States. Such works
as 60 The Caxtons" and "My New Novel"
(both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular Medal"
" The Green Hand" and other serials, of
which NUM- ous rival editions are issued
by the leading publishers in this country
have to be reprinted by those publishers
from the pages Of Blackwood, after it has
been issued by Messrs. Scott & Co., so that
subscribers to the reprint of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest
reading of those fascinating tales.
ESS Remittances and communications
should be always addressed, post paid. to
the publishers. LEONARD SCOTT & co.

Gg" \ London letter says the jeweled
armory in Windsor Castle was placed in
great danger during the late fire in the
Princes Tower. So precious are the con-
tents of this armory, that they are never
exhibited to visitors and the Lord Cham
berlain has no authority to grant admission
to it. The wonderful jeweled bird, taken
from Tippoo Saib, at the surrender of Ser
ingpatam, was placed in greater peril than
it was at the capture of the Indian strong
hold.

PARTISAN Fashions FOR THE JUVENILES
The Paris correspondent of the Journal of
Commerce says:
A description of new dress for little boys
may, perhaps, be useful to some of your fair
readers. The frock is of thin light blue
cloth, ornamented with tresses of black silk
velvet. These trimmings pass over the
shoulders and ornament the edges in front
to within four inches of the bottom of the
skirt, where they turn round and head the
hem. A row Of II buttons, running from
the shoulders to the hem of the skirt is
placed between two lines Of tresses; the
sleeves which are not wide, have epaulettes;
the skirt is plated at the waist, and the
body is adjusted to the child's form. The
CATERS are of strong gray elastic tricot
the trowsers are white and ornamented with
richly embroidered trimmings.

A Smart Buckeye.

The Cleveland Forest City gives this in
stance of perseverance under difficulties:
Not many weeks ago young lad named
Robert Thompson, aged fourteen years, left
his home in Harrison, Hamilton County, IN
this State, to go to Washington.
Ragged and penniless as he was, 1t was
an arduous task for such a STRIPPING. But
by dint of riding when he could, and walk
ing when he was compelled to do SO by the
railroad conductor putting him off the cars,
he arrived safely at Washington. Going
Immediately to the Department of the Inte-
rior, he told his simple tale of restitution
to the Secretary, and remarked that he had
heard there was some place in Washington
where they paid boys for studying, and
that he wanted to study, so as to 'make
man. of himself. Secretary Guthrie being
busy, told him to call again and he would
talk to him. Being of progressive turn,
the boy repaired at once to the White
House, sought out President Pierce, and
repeated his request. The President gave
him q half-eagle, telling him to y" clean
himself" and call the next day. Accord
ingly, prompt to his orders, he again visited
the Presidents mansion, a little "spruced
up" as he expressed it, and found Mr..
Smith, the defeated candidate for Sheriff of
Hamilton County, in conference with Gen.
Pierce. Recognizing the boy, and wishing
to test the veracity of his statements, the
President remarked, pointing at the same
time to Mr.. Smith:
"My lad, if you are from Hamilton
County, you probably know that gentle
man."
"Yes, do, sir" was the prompt reply;
"he's Smith, that couldn't get elected
Sheriff. He lost all the Dutch votes cause
he's Miami man"
'Right," said Smith. "He is from
Hamilton, sure enough"
The above little incident was related to
US by gentleman of veracity.
