History gives no parallel to such an act.
The Venetians held in grateful remem-
brance the name of man who, by life
time of personal sacrifice and hard-iaced
usury, obtained means TO relieve the re-
public from its financial burdens, and placed
it again upon the road to prosperity, after
long and disastrous war. They forgot
his exacting usury, and his life of selfish
ness, in the lasting benefit he conferred
upon the State. But we should have no
abuses to forget, and only the generous
patriotism of republican citizens TO re-

New Publications.

GoDEY's LADY's Book, for February,
is good number, as all the Lddy'S Books
are. 1t has beautiful steel engraving,
and about sixty other engravings. The
monkey slipper pattern is decided oddly.
Among the reading matter is a notice of
Tennyson's new poem, 4" Enoch Arden"
which brings out the whole Of that touch
ing story in prose.
HARPER's MAGAZINE, for February, is
an unusually interesting number Of this
popular monthly. The poetry is Of high
order of merit, the delicate moroccan,
Peace" reminding one of the exquisite
songs of Tennyson, while the " Ballad of
lshmael Day" stirs the pulses like the roll
of martial music. Mr.. Abbott continues
his graphic sketches of the " Heroic Deeds
of Heroic Men," in this number, giving
the history of Grierson's raid. There are
portions, also, in this number, Of other Sc
rails: =" Armadale," by Wilkie Collins;
"Our Mutual Friend" by Dickens and
Journeys in Arizona" by j. Ross Brown.
Iohn Jacob Astor's life is sketched, and
Sheridan's victory at Middletown is graph
ically chronicled.
ARTHUR's HOME MAGAZINE, for Feb
ruary, is an excellent number In fact

cellence, for il is the first number the edi-
tor has found time to read for a long pc
Rod, though we have published many no.
| tices of it by other hands. The reading
in the magazine is of a high order of mer-
it, and the editorials in the latter part of
this number, on various subjects, are alone
worth more than the price of the book for
whole year.
A most valuable publication for young
folks is The Student and ,SchooLmate, pub

1t embraces scientific and historical sub
jects, and topics of general interest, by
some of the best writer's for the young.
Each number contains an original dialogue,
and a speech marked for defamation.
This last is most excellent feature, and
the whole makes magazine ever well

The LADY's FRIEND.-A most touch

Prisoners Child,' embellishes the Febru-

fully up to the standard of excellence for
which the Lady's Friend is noted. Pub

Free Missouri |!

There has been great rejoicing IN MIS-
souri,, which has just become free Stare
Under the conservative" rule OF the last
four years State Convention passed an
ordinance OF gradual emancipation wnich
would free the slaves about 1870. The peo-
pie were dissatisfied with this. They ieit
that the cause cf their troubles ought to die
instanter, ard accordingly called another
convention, and on the 18th day OF this
mouth. this convention, with the exception
of only four rotes, decreed immediate eman-
cpation. The rejoicing over this fact IN
that State has been great. In st. Louis
fireworks, speeches, music and ilumina-
tons were the order. Gov. Fletcher, the
new Governor Of that State whose whole
heart and soul have been for freedom, while
many other good men still hestated, sent
greeting to nearly all the Governors of the
loyal States, and received in return hearty
and enthusiastic responses. The following
were the exchanges with Vermont:
His Ercellency the Governor of Vermont:
Free Missouri greets her eldest sister.
II. FLETCHER,
Gov. of Missouri.
His Ercellency the Goveraor Of Missouri:
The Green Mountain State sends greet
ing TO her regenerated sister. May the
rich blessings of benefcent Providence
attend her as she now advances 10 the
proud position of influence and power to
which she is destined.
j. GREGORY SMITH,
Governor of Vermont.
The 18th of January, 1865, will here
after be memorable day in the history of
Missouri. The announcement Of the vote
in the convention was received with loud
applause and with waving of handkerchiefs
and swinging Of hats. As soon as enthusi-
asm would permit, the Rev. DR.. Elliott, at
the instance of the Convention, gave thanks
to Almighty God for the passage of the
Ordinance of Emancipation in Missouri,
and the Hutchinson Family were invited
10 sing the Requiem of Slavery" The
Convention and the Legislature adjourned
at once, and spontaneous jubilee over
Missouri was held.
Gov. Fenton, Of the Empire State, said &:
" God bless free Missouri ?" Gov. Stone,
OF Iowa, an old soldier, thus responded:
" Hail !! Hail Free Missouri Thrice
t'ied by fire and sword, thy metal is as
pure gold" And so on from the other
States.

which he had reported designed to restrain the
Executive power, already over grown; and

objections which had been made to the bill,
and entered into an argument to show the con.
stitutionality Of the measure.

THE DEPARTMENT OF AeRIouLrUR1

Inc Department Of Agriculture Is now re-
ceiving Its assortment Of foreign seeds which
1t designs sending out this spring. We have
never before seen so fine samples, and doubt
not that they are the most valuable vegetable
and grain seeds ever brought into this country.
Last year we took occasion to try many va
rieties of the Departments seeds, and in every
instance they proved sound, and as represented
upon the labels; wonderful fact, as all know
who have OCCASION to plant many varieties Of
garden seed. Under Its present MANAGEMENT
this Department is fast becoming of incalcu-
liable benefit to the country, as Commissioner
Newton is certainly spreading broadcast q
large number of the most valuable seeds which
can In no other possible way be imported and
disseminated into every county of every State
of the Union. These seeds embrace hundreds
of varieties never before brought into the Uni
ted States, large numbers of which will be
found most important improvements upon our
fruits, flowers, vegetables and grains
We may not inappropriately add that Com.
missioner Newton's annual report, now being
sent ont, is by far the ablest and most practi-
cal document that has so far graced the his.
tory of the Department, testifying in almost
its every article to the zeal, fidelity and ability
with which his trust is managed. Among its
most noteworthy bureaux is that in charge Of
Mr.. Glover, the naturalist, whose collection
OF fruits, vegetables, birds, fishes, insects,
animals, fungi, &c, &c, (all of anima-
ted nature,) being either friends or foes Of the
American farmer is not only the most extern
sive in this country, but so arranged and ex-
planned lin labels) as to afford the critical Wis
itor interested in practical agriculture, lessons
of great value indeed.
We were not originally in favor of the in
stitution Of this department, nor had we faith
in 1t until under the management of it's present
chief it has already done so much for the i'm.
provement of every branch of American agri-
culture.

Inauguration Day will close with a Public
Reception by the President and MRS. Lincoln
at the Executive Mansion from O'Clock till Ii

attracted hlther, will test the utmost capacity
of the rooms, it is especially important that the
suggestions heretofore given in regard to dress,

piled with by all visitors. The obvious pro.
