in the rear Of the last named store from u small
stove, or perhaps some trash, and burned through
the partition into Mr.. Apeps. Several rooms Of
the Hotel were damaged, and Mr.. Apels loss is
estimated betwecn 5000 and $40, ,00O-only $4,000

we cannot do better thansendorso the remarks Of
the Charleston Courier, given below: Right
genialy docs this young competitor for public
favor spring upon thefcoming year. Clad in o
bran new ,lross, bright, tasteful n, dspa!klng it
wins your good will aud infuscs a lcaven of its
own happy temper into ones organism, as you
gaze pleased upon its gay attire, and then look
ins within, see in what cordial sympathy the in
ncr man is with the outer. The first year Of this
magazine opened most promisingly, and to judge
by the issue for January, yet greater things are
in store for its patrons. The selections are ad-
mrably made. There is a judicious interming-
ing of grave and pay, of lively and severe. It's
trcnsure house comprises the whole range OF con-
temporary periodical literature, French, German,
English and American. The lineaments of John
Ruskin adorn and preface the feast Of good things
rs you open the number before you. His efIisy
is nppositely chosen, us indicating what the Ne'O
Eclectic aspires unt,, viz t, be many-siled and
catholic, in passionate love with all th.tis beau
tiful and good and pure, aglow with the Gns
Frenzy of n noble and generous enthusiasm. No
caterer for his literary pabuIum in the year soon
to open upon US, can err in selecting the Neio
Eclectic.

1.-THE COMING SHIP. "
A Rival of the Great Eastern.

The looming ship" as the intended rival of
the Great Eastern is designated, has at present
been exhibited, in model only in san Francisco.
1t is to be of the same size the Great Eastern.
except that instead OF 29 feet it will draw only
le feet, aud it will carry propOrtionally less
tonnage. 1t is destined to carry four times as
many passengers as any present style of ship,
and to substitute for buuks regular beds; it will
also give four times the space TO a state.room.
The San FTancisco Times says:-Fhe present
mode of bunkiDg passengers is unworthy of the
age. Sea-sckness, if preVentible by construc-
ton, should be rendered obsolete. This
desideratum is attained in Thomas Silver's
coming ship; it is secured by the proportions OF
the ship, and by there beng 80 feet less of the
hull out of water than in the Great Eastern,
but the motion is rendered almost imperceptible
by new device. The state. rooms, instead OF
being at the outside limits of the vessel, are
amidships; that is, along the centre line of the
ship, where the roll is scarcely perce ptible.
The saloon Is to be 500 feet long, and clear OF
obstructions 1t is not for dining. Instead OF
public tabe, there are to be two competing
restaurants at the eXtremites adjoining the
saloons. The ship will sell passage only, the
board being payable as meals are ordered. II
is contemplated to carry second-class passen
gers and thrd-class in the same way. The
present frstelass hunks will be for third-clas
hprthS.

Railroads In Persia.

The shrill whistle of the railway engine is
soon to be heard in Persia. The Shah has
granted to a company of English capitalists the
exclusive right 10 construct railways in the
country for period of twenty years. These
capitalists begin operations with a short road
extending from the capital to the suburban
village OF Rey, a famous weekly resort of pious
Teheranlees. Ground has been broken, and the
engineer employed estimates that the line can
be constructed and stocked for less than
$500 600, on which the passenger traffic of some
forty thousand deVotees a week will, he
recEons, yield remunerative dividend, exclu-
siye of an per cent. guarantee.
