spEC1ALT1Es OF THE ECLECTIC.

SCIENCE.
1t is believed that in this department the
ECLECTIC is more comprehensive and complete
than any other Magazine in the world not ex-
clusively devoted to the subject.
BIOGRAPHY.
There is no department of Literature more
important, and at the same time more general
ly interesting than Biography. In this depart
ment, therefore, will be found sketches of most
of the famous men of present and past times.
BELLIES LETTREs.
Polite Literature in all it's branches is repre-
scented by the best selections which can be
CLEANED from the whole field of periodical liter
allure abroad.
FICTION.
In this department the best Current Litera-
ture of its class is found, comprising occasional
Serials by the best contemporary novelists, but
chiefly the short stories for which the English
Magazines are deservedly celebrated.
GENERAL LITERATURE.
Under this head are embraced all those sub
iects which elude special classification, for in
stance. the fine Essays on Periodical, Social and
Literary Topics. which fill the English quarter
lies and monthlies.
aa EDITORIAL DEPARTMENTS.
The Editorial Departments are Literary mo-
tees, Foreign Literary Notes, Science, Art and
Varieties. They have been remodelled and ex-
tended, so as to embrace every possible topic,
and there is no other eclectic publication which
even attempts such synopsis.
ILLUSTRATIONS.
A very fine Steel Engraving on some subject
of general interest, either Historic, Portrait OF
Ideal, embellishes each number. These engrav-
mos are executed in the best manner and by
the best artists, and are of permanent value.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, August g.
The called Ku.Klnx trial before United
States Commissioner Garrett, In which
four men named Swally, Chapman, Bow.
den and Redd, were arraigned for tho
murder of man named Garrett, who
was taken from jail at Salisbury, Tenn,
last June, terminated last evening In the
discharge Of the prisoners, II appearing to
the satisfaction Of the Commissioner that
the prosecution, on the part OF NJ. Il,
Brock and D. A. Robertson, the princi.
pal witnesses, was malicious and their
evidence untrue. Some forty OF the best
citizens having testified to their unrelia.
billty, and most Of the defendants having
clearly proven on alibi, to-day Brock and
Robertson were arrested for perjury and
committed 10 Jail. This evening q Estate
warrant, charging them with the murder
Of Garrett, was received from Boliver.
The general impression Is that they mur.
dered Garrett for tho purpose Of fastening
the deed nn the parties discharged to-day.
