magazine of practical utility in the house, a
mirror of the fashions, and literary conser-
vator of surprising interest and artistic excel
ence, acknowledged to be the modern parlor
magazine of America
The engraving, 2Sx32 inches, is from the or
iginal painting, entitled, The Picnic on the
Fourth Of July
The painting took n whole year, and is con-
sidcred the finest of the entire list of numerous
populor productions by Lille NJ. Spencer The
engraving was the labor of four years, by
three eminent artists--Joh Rodgers, Samuel
Halpin, and Samuel Hollyer; The last named
having been induced to come from Europe to
finish it. The engravers have ably seconded
the successful labors Of the painter. None but
artists can fully appreciate.the skill and labor
lavished on this engraving The general eff
tect is very fine and impressive, and the deli
rate finish to the heads will bear the most mi
mute inspection. The union Of line and stipple
is executed with unusual ability, and their
skillul combination has greatly contributed TO
the success Of the engravers in this unsurpass-
ed proof Of their genius.
Thelworll on the engraving alone cost over
seven thous sand dollars, besides the cost of the
copyright, and is acknowledged by competent
judges the most elaboratey finished large work
of art eyor engraved in America.

THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION IN
MISSOURI.

The st. Louis Democrat has an
elaborate article showing that ma
jority of the Republicans of the
State voted for Brown, and that
more Republicans than Democrats
voted for him. 1t claims that 65,-
600 Republicans voted for Brown,
and $4,000 for McClurg, and that
$4,000 Democrats voted for Brown,
and 5000 for McClurg. The full
registered strength of the Repub-
licans was 10000 and that of the
Democrats $1,000. OF this number,
10000 Republicans and 10000 Dem
oerats did not vote for Governor.
The Democrat further claims that
the entire strength of the Demo
Gratis in the State, including the dis
franchised, can not exceed 10000,
which would give the Republicans,
if united, clean majority of IA, 900,
and this majority will be largely in
creased by immigration before an
other general election two years
hence.

EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.

The war cloud continued to grow
darker and darker in Eartern Eu.
rope, until two or three DAYS ago
when the cloud began to disappear
Russia does not want war, but is
ready to put over l 100000 men in
the field. Turkeycannot fight alone,
and has weak cause, as well as q
weak armament, having been par
ty to several infraetions of the treaty
which Russia wants to crack in Just
one place. England busters, and
is making energetic preparations for
war. The Cabinet is divided, how
ever, on the war question, and pub
lie sentiment is equally discordant.
Italy resolutely declines to join an
Anti-Russian coalition, and refuses
to have anything to do with the
matter. Austria is afraid to inter-
fere, and the other great powers
cannot, or will not, take part against
Prussia. There seems now but little
danger Of hostilities.

FIRE IN COSHOCTON.

On the night of the 10th inst, in
the town Of Coshocton, man of
disreputabie appearance came into
the place, and unable to find
lodgings elsewhere, betook him
self to large stable belonging to
Messrs. Bishop & Triplet. During
the night fire from his pipe is sup
posed to have communicated to
inflammable material around, and
the whole building was rapidly
burned to the ground. A fine stall
lion worth s., 800 and jack worth
$500 perished. A few charred hu
name bones, found among the cinders
next morning,were all that remaised
of the involuntary incendiary.

The Democracy of Wayne
county have taken steps to erect 6
large Wigwam in which to com.
memorate the Sth Of January in
grand style. All right, boys, go in,
The Republican majority in the
Senate of the Forty second Congress
will be relatively much larger than
that in the House, In the Senate
there will be seventy-four members,
and of these, at least fifty-fiye will
be Republicans.
The Western Democracy are
losing faith in the "Pendleton
Gfeenback" policy, and we may con-
fidently hope that the question will
not again trouble national political
campaign. The honest financial
policy of President Grants admin
istration has so brought down the
premium on gold and brought near
the day of specie payments, that the
shrewd Democrats perceive that
their plan will no longer please the
people, and they abandon it. For
this good work let Gen. Grant have
the credit.

NEW MEXICO AS A STATE.

A delegation of prominent officials
from the Territory of New Mex.
leo recently arrived in Washington
to urge upon Congress the passage
of an act admitting New Mexico as
a State into the Union. They claim
that the Territory has over one hun.
dred thousand taxable inhabitants
and is fully prepared for admission
They say that within year after
the Trans-Continental Railroad i.
completed, and connection made
with the Kansas Pacific, the Terri,
tory will have trebled its present
population. A bill for the admis-
sion of the Territory was introduced
during the last session of Congress,
and is. now in committee. A similar
bill for Colorado will be given the
preference.
