Dayton, o., is certainly an extraordi-
nary place. Its 10000 inhabitants con-
sumo daily nine barrels of whiskey, 400
kegs of lager beer, 400 kegs of ale, 49,
600 cigars, POO pounds of smoking and
120 of chewing tobacco, the aggregate
cost of which ia five times that of the
daily bread Of the entire Dayton popu-
lation. The bar-keepers, OF which
there are 440, are rapidly growing rich,
since it is calculated that, by retailing
whiskey by the glass, they make profit
of $3.50 per barrel. If Messrs Cough
and Trask want to draw sympathetic au-
diences they had better not venture
within the limits of DAYTON.

AppletOn's Journal for 1S73-En.
largement.

Appleton's Journal will henceforth be
enlarged to the extent of four more pages
of reading The Journal has always
contained a larger quantity of reading
matter than any other periodical of its
class, and this addition renders it the
cheapest literary periodical in the coun-
try. Appleton's Journal gives, in a
weekly form, all the features of a month
ly magazine. Its weekly issue brings it
n more frequent visitor to the family
than is the case with monthly periodi-
ical, while, in the course of the year, a
much greater aggregate and larger va
riety of papers are furnished than are
given in any of the regular monthlies.
But, for those who prefer it, the journal
is put up in Monthly Parts, and in this
form it's scope and variety, as compared
with other magazines, become conspicu-
ously apparent.
Appleton's journal will continue to
present healthful, sound, instructive, and
entertaining literature. 1t will confne
itself as rule to one serial n0rel at q time;
it will contain the best short stories at
tainable; it will give picturesque des-
criptions of places, and stirring narra-
tives of travel and adventure; it will
have entertaining papers upon various
subjects that pertain to the pursuits and
recreations of the people; it will give
portraits and sketches of persons distin-
guished in various walks of life; will
present lively, social sketches, having in
special view those things the knowledge
of which will contribute to the welfare
and happiness of the household; it will
describe phases of life in all quarters of
the globe; it will discuss the important
events of the time, and the advances
made in art, literature, and science; it
will endeavor to reflect the ideas, move
ments, and development of society; and,
while hoping to enlighten, will strenu-
ously aim to entertain, with large abund-
ance of material, all who resort to its
pages for Intellectual pleasure. illus
tration will be used sufficiently to give
variety and animation to its pages; but
the aim will be to make it rather jour
nal of popular high-class literature than
merely vehicle for pictures. In carry
ing out this programme, the editors will
have the aid of the ablest writers pro-
durable.

Us there any particular reason, we wonder,
why those sensibly cOntrived, thoroughly effect
i've, generally interesting, and often extremely
quaint and artistic d-fashi0ned door knocks rs
should h We gone 30 entirely out Of use? Why
should the inelegant and complicated modern
doOr-ben have so entirely usurped its place IN
this country? Certainly the knocker was ser
viceable. There could never be any doubt
about there being some one at the door when a
brass or iron knOcker was pounding away. Not
only the girl presumably in the Kitchen could
hear the noise, but every one in the house cOald
hear it. Therein was the knocker hospitable: il
announced to all the household the coming of a
visitor. But perhaps nowadays the household
does not want to know. But why not? The
whole family need not 60 TO the door. And a
bell unless ii is centrally placed In the house, is
often wonderfully ineffective. How well We ali
know that!-we who have shivered ON brown
stone stOOps and white marble front steps In
winter, and scorched and steamed upon them
in summer. while Bridget or Dinah (whO didn't
happen to be in the kitchen, and therefore didn't
hear the beli) kept US waiting for the welcome
opening of the door. But with a knOcker, how
different! If Biddy was indoors and neither
deaf nor dead, she must hear the wrapping, nG
matter in what part OF the house she had Sc
cluded herself And, more than that, she could
not pretend she did not hear il. The bell nav
be in a measure to her private atiator
ringing out its call to her alone, AL. - pending
on her alone for its answer. Not so the knocker
Like public voice, it calls aloud to everybody

which v ere being whispereA against her. At
one time she was engaged to MT. Forster, then
a risin, young harrister and editor Of the Ex-
aminer, now best known o. tia bosom friend
and biographer Of Dickens. The match was
broken OF because Of slanfers against her,
which Forster did not believe, but which he
told her Of; this caused her to dissolve the re-
lation. She was afterward most unhappily
married to Mr.. Mclean, Governor Of Cape

ami stood by her in q window at Crockford's, in
Piccadilly, on the bright June morning when
TO be crowned in the historicabbey. That night
was to be her last In England; host of friends,
among them Bulwer and Disraeli, met at her
house, in Hyde Park street, to bid her good-by.
The Examinations were alight, the fireworks
dazzling and glimm ring in honor of the coro-
IA ion; 1T 8 emed like a celebration in honor
OF the little queen of poesy. Bulwer faltered
as, responding to the toast of her health at
supper, he called her his ''daughter, ;" i'm allu-
sion to the part he had borne at the marriage
ceremony; rushed home with tears I'm his eyes,
shut himself in his cabinet, and wrote per-
sisteDtly till the gray dawn crept through the
window-shutters. When the news OF poor l..

suicide, reached England, the friend of her
youth and young wOmanhOod fastened to raise
a subscription, which he himself headed with
generous amount, to support her widow I'd
