sPECIALTIEs or TIE ECLECTIC.
Science.-It is believed that in this depart
ment the Eclectic is more comprehensive and
complete than any other Magazine in the world
not exclusively devoted to the subject.
BiOgraphy.-There is no department of
Literature more important, and at the same
time more generally interesting than Biogra-
ply. In this department., therefore, will be
found sketches of most of the famous men of
present and past times.
Bellies Lettres.-Polite Literature in all
its branches is represented by the best selections
which can be CLEANED from the whole field of
periodical literature abroad
FictiOn.-In this department the best Cur
rent Literature 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 ceebrat-
ed -
General Literature.-Under this head
are embraced all those subjects which elude
special classification instance, the fine
Essays on Political, Social, and Literary Topics
which fill the English quarterlies and monthlies.
Editorial Depa Editorial
Departments are Literary Notices, Foreign Lit
erary Notes, Science, Art and Varieties They
have been remodelled and extended, so as to
embrace every possible topic and there is no
other eclectic publication which even ATTEMPTS such
a synopsis.
iiiustratiOns.-A very fine Steel Engrav-
ing on some subject of general interest, either
Historic Portrait or Ideal, embellishes each
number. These engravings are executed in the
best manner and by the best artists, and are of
permanent value.

Special Dispatch to ;he Cincinnati Enquirer.
NEw York, July %, 1871 Private
advices received from England to-day,
say that there is Widespread alsrm IN
high English official circles regarding
the proposed visit Of The Prince of Wales
to Dublin, Ireland, next week. IDf1rma
ton has reached the authorities that the
terrible Assassination Circle of the Fenisn
or Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood have
determined 10 attempt his murder. The
greatest precautions have been taken, and
. body guard viii be furnished the Prince
during his stay in Dublin. Messrs. Doyle,
Smallen, Dawson and Enthvistle, the
smartesf members Of the Grand Division
or detective force Of Dublin, are ordered
on duty night and dap. The terrible As
sassination Committee removed from its
way Cory, military infOrmer, who was
shot on the banks of canal. Haher, q
British soldier, who gave information to
the government met similar fate in
q porter house, st the hands of Thomas
Barnes, the head Of the Circle. SchO-
field, one of the American informers, was
thrown overheard from Liverpool and
Dublin steamer. Warner, the Cork spy,
had his brains beaten out, and no later
than July II, the head constable, Talbot,
the famous Fenisn spy, received the fatal
bullet from Robert Kelly, one of the
murderOus band. In the present emer-
gency no efforts are being spared by the
authorities to reach the foul cOuspirators,
and the whole police force Of the city OF
Dublin is on the alert. The Prince, how
ever, is determined to visit Dublin in the
face of all danger, and perhaps the cable
may bring us startling intelligence from
there IN q few days.

A Stone Worth $500, 600

ST. LOUIS, July 2S-A Jacksonville,
Ill, correspondent CT the Democrat, says
a..suit involving probably q million of dol
lsrs was commenced to day in Morgan
county Circuit Court by Rebecca w.
Val, VIM. H. Carson, Nancy Roe,
Mary Baker and eight others, against
Kitty Flynn, Thos. NJ. Carson, Thos.
Roe and eleven others. The bill
alleges that On day too remote to
be mentioned with certainty but about
one hundred years ago one A. NJ. Roe, of
the State of Virginia, becar1e possessed
by discovery of certain precious stone,
remarkable for It's hardness ard bril-
liancy, and so far as has been tested, its
characteristics are those of q diamond of
the first water; that-this stone is one and
half inches in diameter one way, and
something greater the other way, and is
OF $500, 900 value, and that this
stone is now in the possession of sThos.
III. Carson, of jacksonville. The plain
tiffs ask that defendants be compelled to
bring this gem into court, and that a re-
ceiyer be appointed by the court to sell
it and distribute the proceeds among the
heirs. The value of this stone was but
recently sscertained, although it has
