Hundreds Of improvements arc daiy coming into
general that the world outside scarcely understand,
aud the mogt interested parties only hear Of in
indefinite way that fails to attrnct their attention
Hence is that the good things OF this life fall to
few, not because they few in NUMBER but because
most men allow. them to nafs by unrecognized until
the brighter fellows hive been enjoying them for
long time. This Is almost proverbIal. How many
people know what asbestos is, or to what it e
put? They know from casual utterances they
heard years ago that asbestos the one
thing in nature that would not burn away,
but as to any useful end that this phenomenal sub
stance could be made to suhserve they know nothing
about it, probably. And Jet 1t ia the BEST most ura-
ble and neaes thing in tie world for various things.

HARPER,s PERIODICALS.
HARPER,S MAGAZINE.

No more delightful travels arc printed in
the English language than appear perpetual>
ly in Harpers Magazine. They are read with
equal interest and satisfaction by boys Of
every age, from eighteen to eighty.
It's 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
diffuse 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 III which liar
pers Magazine would not be an appreciated
and highly welcaple guest.
There is no monthly magazine that an in
telligent reading family can less afford to be
without. Many magazines are accumulated.
Harper's is edited. There is not cheaper

as far as he knew, even thought. He
therefore mounted his horse and rode
to the schoolhouse. He returned about
10 o'clock at night, when, upon enter
ing his residence, he was Mortified to
find his wife lying in pool of blood
upon the floor, part OF her skull
blown off. She had too fearfully ex-
ecuted her threat. The wound was
inflicted with arevolver, which from
the powder marks upon herface, must
have been held close to the forehead.
The lady was the daughter of John X.
Dunn, of Gosport, and an intelligent,
handsome woman. Her rash act has
almost driven her husband to insanity.
They had been married but five weeks,
and were apparently greatly attached
to each other. The sad affair has
created profound sorrow throughout
the entire neighborhood in which the
unfortunate family lived.

HARPER,S RAZAR

Free from all political and sectarian discus

are worth the subscription price of the paper,
While fully maintaining its position as a mir

HARPER,S WEEKLY.

The best publication Gifts classin America.
and so far ahead of all other weekly Journals

it and any of their number.
Its columns contain the finest collections Of

Its illustrations are numerous and beauti-
full, being furnished by the best artists in tho
country.-BostOn Traveller.
Harper's Weekly deserves it's primacy in
this class of publication, alike for the value
of its matter as the excellence of its illustra-
tions. The spirited and telling pictorial sat
ires of Mast are powerin society, and arc
dictated in aid of a sound public opinion, and
against public wrongs and follies, The edi-
torials on public affairs are models of discus

principles in an elevated tope and ehasten-
ed literary style.-EreRliaer aud Chronicle

grief. But yesterday upon the floor

claiming in vehement oratory bis
peculiar and exclusive claims to the
proud title of Representative Colored
Man, to-day an outcast, expelled from
his position in disgrace for engaging
in foul plot to betray his people in
to the hands of their enemies. When
J. Henri was in the flower of his pride
and fancied security, we harbored bit
terness against him for his tsaitorous
course, but now that he has been cast
from his high place into the very
depths Of degradation, we cannot but
feel and express pity for him.

Some time since the Iberville Meas
called attention to the sarcasm of the
Iberville Pioneer leaving blank space
where the name of the Lieutenant
Governor should appear in the official
directory. We desire, In turn, to cali
the attention of the Ne,rs to the fact
that its directory still contains the
name of 0. j. Dunn as Lieutenant
Governor. IF the Pioneer was un=
justa1to Lieutenant Governor Pinch
back, the News is almost equally so,
with this difference with the former
the injustice was intentional; with the
latter it is not.

DISTRESSING SUICIDE OF A JEAL-
Gus YOUNG WIFE.-A most distress
sing case ofsuicide occurred near Cos
port, Ind, a few days ago. A young
and very estimable gentleman named
Davis, who had been married but a
short time, and whose marital rela-
tions had been of the most delightful
character, received an invitation to
attend country spelling match, or
school that was to come off Saturday
night, a few miles distant from bis
residence. He informed his wife of
the invitation, announcing to her that
he would attend, inasmuch as he had
many personsal friends whom he
would meet there.
1t seems that the wife was greatly
excited at this announcement, and 1t
has since TRANSFERRED that this excite
ment was the result of foolish fit of
jealousy, she imagining he only desir-
ed to attend the school that he might
flirt with some of his former young
lady acquaintance. She told him
that il he went she would blow her
brains out, and that he would find her
. corpse when he returned. Mr.. D.,
however, treated her threat as bit
of badinage, not giving it a second
thought. This was in consequence of
the pleasant life they had so far lived
together, their happiness never having
been married by an unkind word, or
