Littell's Living Age for 1874.

The fact is becoming more generally
recognized every year that LitteH's Living
Age affords the best and, all things consid-
cred, the cheapest means of keeping well
informed in the most valuable current litera-
ture; literature that embraces the produc-
tions OF the best writer's in science, fiction,
poetry, history, biography, politics; theol-
ogy, philosophy, criticisms and art.
list of some of the distinguished authors
relresented IN its pages will be found by
reference to the prospectus of the magazine
published elsewhere in our columns, and an
uneqnaIed array Of names it is. The new
series, which was begun Jan. l, 1873, al
ready embraces serial and short stories by
eminent French, German, Russian and Eng
lish noyellsts; during the ensuing year, as
heretofore, besides the choicest fiction by
the leading foreign authors, usual unequal
ed amount viii be given Of the abes5 es-
says and reviews, the best poems, the finest
sketches Of travel aud discovery, and the
most valuable historical, biographical,
scieptih c, and political information from
the pens OF the foremost living authors.
The extra inducements to subscribers tor
the ensuing yea are worth noticing. The
amount ofthe best current literature ofthe
world. thus offered, certainly cannot other
wise be obtained SO economically.
The highest critical authorities pro-
nounced The Living Age T'the best OF al
ecectics,o presen ting as it does, with fresh
ness and thoroughness what is essential to-
American readers in a great and indisp ensi-
bic literature. Ia the multiplicity of quar-
terlies, monthlies, and weeklies, all O.
which it represents with satisfying COM
pleteness not elsewhere attempted, it ha
become almost necessity to every person
or family ofinteligence and taste, and es
| pecially so to those who must limit tn
the number of their periodicals. The pros
pec'us should not be overlooked by GU

Last Hours Of Bishop Armitase.

AasS hours Oh blsnOp AfmtGaSe. III.
From the New York Tribune we have this
account of the last hours of the lamented
Bishop Armi tage: ...ss r.sa ~
The Right Rev. William E. Armitage
Bishop Of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese
of Wisconsin died in this city, yesterday
morning, in the 44th year of his age He
has suffered Tor many years, from a tumor
at the base of the spinal column. During
the past six months the disease has become
more virulent in its effects upon his system,
and at last the physicians near his home in
Wisconsin advised him to go East and SUBJ
nit to an operation-the only possible way
in which his life could be saved Accom-
panied by his wife, Bishop Armitage arrived
in this city on Thursday, and was at ouce
taken to St. Luke's Hospital, at Fifth Ave
nue. and Fifty fourth street. All the sur
geons 10 the Hospital examined the tumor
and declared that unless it was Immediately
cut out there was no chance of DR.. Armi-
tages living more than week. The SUI
geons also frankly told the patient that if
the operation should prove unsuccessful his
system would receive such shock that he
must expect to die within few hours
Bishop Armitage received these declarations
with great calmness and courage, and, af-
ter conversing a few moments with his
wife, told the surgeon that he had resolved
to submit to an operation. The preparation
for the operation was com ple:ed on Friday,
and in the afternoon the surgeons executed
their task. The operation was performed
by Or. Weis, who was assisted by Dr. Peters
and other surgeons of the hospital The
patient for an hour after the operation an.
peared not to have suffered a very great
shock, but two hours afterwards the surgeons
perceived rapid change for worse in his
condition. Dispute all efforts. to sustain Ii fe
his strength gradually lessened, and he f.
nally died at A. M..yeSterday. Around his
bedside at the moment of his death were
gathered some Of the most eminent clergy
men OF the Protestant Episcopal Church in
this city the tidings that Bishop Armitage
was dying having become known outside of
the walls OF the hospital. The dying man
retained clear mind to tie very last mo-
ment Retaining sufficient siren ia to speak
up to an hour of his DEATH he conversed
with his friends in q calm tone of voice, al
though he knew that life was fast depart
ing His courage did not fail him at any
moment, and he died with the utmost
faith and confidence in his own redemp-
ton beyond the grave. Mrs. Armitage sat
by the bedside OF her husband until he
breathed his last. She then exhibited in
tense grief, and had to be cared for by the
physicians of the hospital The deceased
Bishop had, it is said, one child His faith
er, Mr. Enoch Armitage, resides at 435
West Thlrty-thlrd street in this city.

That Election,

4 number Of our citizens took it into
their heads that we must have a Mayor, if
not for more than day or so, to sign the
tax rolls &C, SO an elec ton was called by
five Street Commissioners, aud the polls
We're opened last Saturday. Little or no
interest seemed TO be taken in the matter
and the polls closed with large majority
81 the votes in favor Of Mr.. II. Finn, the
League candidate. It now turns out that
not having seven Street Commissioners the
Vo1es cannot be canvassed, and hence the
election has been of no account. We must
appeal to the next Legislature for the re-
lief OF our present necessities.

and on the reply of the treasurer that he had
