for January, is received, and fully sus-
tains the reputation it has won as sec
ond to no magazine in our country In
popular interest, while it is the ablest
exponent of the true principlesof of DEM
ocracy. This number opens with an
article by the editor, on 'Tricks of
President Making" followed by a
thrilling historical romance, founded
upon the fall of the italian States. 1t
is a romance of great power, translated
expressly for The old Guard, from
one of the most distinguished of all the
italian writer's of modern time, Mont
everde, and with a detail of the arts
to which tyranny resorts to destroy
liberty, containing a charming love
story. "The Strange Story of Baron
Trenck" is an article of great interest,
and the first chapters Of an original
novel, by Miss Nellie Marshall, of
Kentucky, entitled "Dead Under the
Roses" give promise ofone of the most
fascinating serials of the current year.
The first of DR.. Van Evrie'S new series
of articles on "Types of Mankind" !"
is on the Caucasian type, illustrated
with a splendid colOred picture of a
model man of our race. The article is
ofgreat interest, and worthy Of preser-
walton for reference on this important
subject. The "BoOk Table," and the
editors Table," which refully up to
the mark of the best matter and style,
close the number, which is certainly
