We receive regularly all the bestmag-
azines or monthly periodicals published
in America, and we take great pride
III not only perusing them but trying
to keep them neat and ready for bind
ing, in case we determine so to do
Yet for nearly five years have we failed
in keeping the numbers all. Some one
will send and borrow IL magazine and
that IL the last Of it. We forget the
name oftho borrower and can not, ever
so much as we may wish, get the work
back again. Cooley has threatened TO
quit sending us his magazine if we loan
it, Lie says it is doing him an injury.
And 30 it is.

equal with any is the Atlantic Monthly
which is edited with great ability. Be
sides these, we find this week on our
table, Frank Leslie's Monthly with
which is incorporated the Gazette of
Fashion. 1t is larger than most of
other magazines, and contains an at
t;active and bountiful supply of litera-
ture, e~ngravings, fashion plates and
illustrations. Price So per annum.-
We want the publisers to supply us
regularly.
Another thing: We club the Home
Journal with most ofthcse magazines,
aud any one wanting a magazine and
tho Journal can save considerable by
taking them ina club. For instance:
Cooley, or Harper, costs 30 per annum
and the Journal S2-making So. But if
taken in a club We will send either
magazine and the Journal for 81. Be-

I Mrs. Darlington, after listening
to the reading Of an advertisement for
g young ladies' boarding school, said !:
s'For my part, l can't deceive what on
.airth eddication is coming to. When
l was young, if girl only understood
the rules of distraction, provision, null
tiplying, reFlenishiug, and the common
denomination, the converts and dormi-
tories, the provinces and the umpires,
they had ed ication enough. But now
they have to study bottomy, algeby,
and have to demonstrate suppositions
Of scophants Of cocusses, tangents, and
Diognes, and parrallelogramy, to say
nothing Of oxhides, coroois and abtruse
Thus saying the old lady
leaned back in her chair, her knitting
work fell in her lap, and for some min
utes she seemed lost in meditation, but
was soon revived by the appearance
Of Ike, with bottle of Cory's Stom-
achic Bitters to yitalize her digestive
organs, and copy Of the Wood Co.
Reporter to tranquilize her nervous
system and to give her a new subject
upon which to expatiate.

a DEER HUNTED HyATsor

IA icEEEs i1tN LED Il I "A IlOCONoIlf T..
The St. Joseph, Mo-, Journal of a
late date, says that one evening last
week, as one Of the down freight trains
on the North Missouri Railroad was
running between Montgomery and
Florence stations, the engineer, while
on the lookout, espied a fine large buck
on the track, facing the engine. and
about two hundred yards ahead of the
train. His deership, proudly defiant,
with head and tail erect, stood his
ground nobly for few moments, ap-
parently resolved to stare the ''Iron
Horse" out Of countenance; but find
ing that the latter did not appear in
the least intimidated, but continued
steadily and rapidly to advance, he
came to the sensible conclusion, that
in order to save his venison he had bet
ter make tracks as fast as possible. A
short but spirited race ensued, which
ended in landing his buckship upon
the cow-catcher, where the fireman
stood ready to play a "grab game" on
him, and welcome him to a railroad
ride. In the mean time the engineer,
with knife, had slipped forward, and
IN very short time, having relieved
their noble game of his best blood,
they carried him liteless over the en-
CINE into the baggage car.

EXTRAORDINARY PoLIr1cAL EXCITE
HENT.-The editor of the Springfield
Republican made a visit to Connect
cut during the pendancy Of the late
election, and thus states what he saw
ga recent visit to Connecticut has
enabled us to realize more of the earn
estness Of the political conflict in that
State than the spread eagles and large
capitals OF the newspapers can possibly
convey. 1t is a contest which arouses
the energies Of every man, and stirs
the synpathies of every woman and
child. Politics is the engrossing topic
of conversation IN every circle. Many
men do not pretend to look after their
business; while every business letter,
almost, carries with it political post
script. a single conversion to either
side IS accounted worthy Of special
mention. The newspaper offices are
thronged from morning until night
Political gatherings are held every
night III all the principal places, and
there is not a neighborhood nor an in
significant school district that is not the
scene of stirring excitement Men who
have stood aloof from politics for years
have been swept in by the overwhelm-
ing tide, and have become active and
intensely sympathetic in proportion to
their previous GOODNESS and inactivity.
As an illustration Of the almost painful
intensity of the excitement, it is stated
that there are many staid and firm men,
who can hardly talk politics without
weeping. A business man informs us
that 6fie letter he had received from q
quiet Republican gentleman, i'll a small
farming town, stated that the writer
and nine others had, 'on their Bonded
knees before God,' dedicated their
whole time and labor until election day
to what they considered Gods business
the defeat of the Democratic party.
Now when Connecticut people get to
praying something is going to be done -

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
W1THDRAws.-NIr. Stephens withdraws
his name IS Democratic candidate
for the Charleston nomination. Two
Geol gia candidates are thus disposed
of, Mr.. Cobb having withdrawn a few
days before. They are rival leaders,
and their respective factions have wag-
ed a bitter war in Georgia. Mr. Cobb
obtained 4 nomination for President
by the State Convention, but Mr.. Ste
phens' friends resist the authority Of
the Convention to make it. AS neither
OF them coulG present himself at Charles
ton backed by the united sentiment of
his own State, neither wauld stand
much chance there, and withdrawal is
quite as much q matter Of prudence as
of selfdenial.
MI. Stephens has been o supporter
OF Judge Douglas, and 1t has been ru-
mored that in the event of Douglas
failing to obtain the nomination himself
the Douglas men would endeayor to
effect that Of Stephens. But this cx-
pectation, it seems, is never to be real
Icd; although on the other hand, the
stephens men will doubtless 90 in for
Douglas, with perhaps Stephens for
wee bresldent.-Nik Sentinel.

Low WATER.-The absence Of rain
this spring has been the cause of seri-
Gus damage to our lumbermen, the riv-

this place, and also at Neeyes' eddy.

that time was sllo,6 $50. This shows

a Duel.

Several days since, quite an excite.
ment was created in the House of Rep
resentatives by an attempt on the part
of Southern members to gag Mr.. Love
JOY of Illinois, in his speech on polyga-
my, and characterizing it as 'stwin
relic of barbarism with slavery" Mr..
Pryor, of Virginia, was prominent in
trying to force Mr. Loyejoy to his seat,
when several members from the North
rushed to the assistance of him and de-
manded that he should be heard
Prominent among these, was one J John
i. Potter, member from the psuedo
savage State of Wisconsin, one of the
islands of Lake Superior. Potter had
become possessed of smattering of
the idea of free speech when lad, and
this attempt quickened the recollection
of what his mother advised him when
a school boy, to "clean 'em out" So
!, a little pup1et named Pryor challenged
Mr. Potter to fight a duel, which, after
much consideration, was accepted, and,
in accordance with the rules Of the
game, he was left to choose his weap-
ons. Instead Of choosing the coward
ly instruments Of pistols or Pats favor
tie play-thing, the shellalah, he desig-
mated Bowie-knives, having been ac-
customed to use such tools when a
hutchor-boy. At this the little Virgin
ian turns mp his nose, and says he can't
fight with knives, they arc so sdemni-
ton vulgwar." He can't tell how his
clay would be moulded IN the hands Of
our Potter He don't relish the idea
Of being butchered Pryor to the visit
of the scythe gentleman. But in order
to accommodate the clustering whiffet,
one Mr.. Lander, an intimate friend of
Potter, offers to set himself up for a
mark to be shot at, and again he fIunks.
He smells Blood, but fee, faw, fun, he's
afraid the Black Republican will get
some. Thus the affair is happily end
