Captain Mayne Reid in the May number oil

as to Its design which we think is timely and will
be of service to the enterprise. He says, in dcdi-
eating 1t to the Youth of America" he meant
1t " for the ,ouag manhood of America-iuclud.

fact that the juvenile magazines already in exis.

of "Onward (" contains very entertaining list
of articles. We recommend our young men and
women to at least get sample copy.

The EASTERN SHoRE OF VIRGINIA feels
more keenly than Eastern Maryland its iso-
lation from the State to whose government
it is subject, and consequently warmly wei
comes the idea of Peninsular Union. A
letter from our Capevlllc correspondent
printed elsewhere states that a large meeting
in furtherance of the scheme was recently
held there. This is the suspicious time for
bringing this union about and the failure Of
our State Senate to act on the House reso-
buttons calling convention need not neces-
sarily dampen the ardor of the friends Of
the movement. 1t is the peoples movement
and let the people act.
