continued until yearly every tenement house, public

Of NLr. Greeley's successor in the
editorship Of the Tribune; Mr..
Whitelaw Reid, who by the retire.
ment Of Mr.. Greeley, becomes the
editor-in~chief of the New York
Tlbune, and who will doubtless per-
nanently control the destinies of
that great newspaper by reason of
Nh. Greeley's final exit from Journal
ism next March, is young man not
much turned into the thirties. Born,
like Mr.. Greeley, n farmers boy, and
raised in the West (he is native of
Ohio), he has had experience as I.
newspaper correspondent, a cotton
planter, a book maker, a political
writer, and managing editor. He is
conspicuous for tact and Judgment,
and is thoroughly qualified to han
die the Tribune at this criticize period
in its career. The Tribune is a stock
ocracy whose demands have always
been more or less whimsical and en-
acting. and after Mr.. Greeley's pecu-
liarities. it is unlikely that anything
short Of very striking elements Of
success could get on at all. Ried
happens to have these, for example,
knowledge Of the world, variety of
information, solid discretion, an ac-
tive industry and a vigorous UNDER
standing. oil Of which will he requir-
ed of Mr.. Greeley's successor. His
career is a striking proof of what
may be achieved by well-directed
purpose, self-discipline, and honora-
ble ambition. At thirty-two lie finds
himself occupying the most power

with sound health, irreproachable
habits and troops of friends. The

that he is six feet high and n good

a Liberal of the Western rather

Mr.. Beecher, in reply, spoke sub
strantially as follows /:
Brother, I stand upon this quos-
ton Of the punishment of Davis just
where did two years ago. If it can
be proved that he was privy to any
scheme Of assassination, or TINT he
cruelty violated the laws of war, 1
say let him he tried and condignly
punished. Here there was some
applause, which Mr.. Becher prompt
ly cl o:ked, saying, Hear all I have
to say, and then applaud home, if
you want to- But if he is charged
with any offence, let him be tried
for it. And I say that to detain Il
man in prison for months and years
without trial is atrocious. IT is con-
trary to all constitutions, and laws,
and all justice. 1 have felt pro-
found modification over the fact
that such thing was done in this
land Of liberty and law. And I
honor Mr.. Greeley and Mr.. Gerrit
Smith for interposing to prevent the
continuance Of such a crime. If it
had been necessary I would have
become bail myself. Here MIR.
Beecher criticised tho character of
Davis very sharply, but paused and

HARPER's PERIODICALS
HARPER'S MAGAZINE.

No more delightful travels are printed in

equal interest and satisfaction by boys of
every age, from eighteen to eighty.
Its scientific papers, while sufficiently pro-
found to demand the attention of the learn
ed, are yet admirably adapted to the popu-
lar understanding, and designed as much to
ditfuse correct information concerning cur
rent scientific discovery as it could be if it
WAS the organ of the ''Society for the Diffu-
sion of Useful knowledge"
The great design of Harper's is to give cor
rect information and rational amusement to
the great masses of people. There are few
intelligent American families in which Har-
pcr's Magazine would not be an appreciated
and highly welcome guest.
There is no monthly magazine that an in
telligent reading family can less afford to be
without. Many magazines are accumulated.
