Carolina before, which our reporter
found circulating upon the floor of the
House of Representatives.. We do not
know who Mary Warren is, but suppose
she belongs to the same benevolent class
Of missionaries rs many others who have
left their luxurious homes and honorable
positions in the North to civilize be-

The JANUARY MAGAZINES. The Ga
thhy opens the new year WELL and pro-
misses to hold its place in the first rank
of American monthly literature. It's
highest features will be maintained, and
care will be employed to make them
more perfect. 1T is edited with all the
life and enterprise Of our best daily
newspapers. The present number is
| fine one. Mark Twain's cart Gallery"
will probably be first noticed by the
ordinary reader. Philosophic readers OF
Teutonic prcclivtics are not likely to
see much resemblance between their

The opening article in ,Scribner's is q
very handsome compliment to Philadel-
phia, being quite lengthy and appre-
ciative description Of the chief beauties
Of their magnificent Fairmount Park, and
the artist presents them in fifteen we'll
executed cngruvings. Another illus
trated paper of great merit is ''Kings
of the Air" which is highly interesting
chapter Of natural history. A weird
story Of admirable tendency is "The
Goblin of tho Ice; or, Christmas at tho
North Pole" by DR.. Hayes. There is
the first instulment Of q tale entitled
''The Lucky Peer" by Hans Christian
Andersen, portrait of whom is given
on the opening page; pretty Christmas
carol, with music; m able article on the
terms OF peace proposed by the Great
Powers. These, however, are only some
OF the contents Of the best number yet
published, and which fulfills all the
promises in reference 10 the holiday
issue.
Tho most desirable and valuable musi-
cal publication wo have ever seen ii that
published by J. i. Peters, under the
name of Peters Musical Monthly. For
merly, the work contained short sclcc-
tion Of miscellaneous articles and music :;
now it contains nothing but music, and
the last number has thirty-six pages in
it, and all this for So per year, or 50
