These periodicals constitute wonderful mis- cellany of modern thought, research, and criti- cism. The cream of all European books worth reviewing is found here, and they treat of the leading events of the world in masterly articles written by men who have special knowledge of the matters treated. The American Publishers urge upon all intelligent readers in this country liberal support of the Reprints which they have so long and 50 cheaply furnished, feeling sure that no expenditure for literary matters will yield so rich return as that required for sub- scription to these the

Conserving the Asylum Reports,

During our recent visit tie the seat
Of government, We were informed that
the Governor had given the printing Of
tho Annual Report Of the Directors
s. Superintendent ofthO Asylum, tothe
editor Of his personal organ, tho
Chronicle, Having some leisure time,
and being DESTROYS Of seeing a copy Of
tho report, We waited upon the CaToH'
icis editor, and asked TO 500 tho report.
He replied that 10 was "hGeiHg them
printed IN Tie country" "lpdsed.'
said We, (for we well knew that no
country printing Office in this State
could DO The job) "whcrs, Mr.. Webbf"
Ahor some hesitation. he answered
that he was having them printed in
Richmond, Virginia" We confess to
feeling Of gono-uess when we learned
that our public printing was to DO
peddlcd out 10 otlies States, when We
had several printing Offices in Wheel
ing and elsewhere, equally as good rs
those in Richmond; and We knew full
well, that tho work could net be done
10 Richmond as cheap as Walker. and
several other parties, had offered to do
tho State printing, In q pamphlet Of
tho kind referred to. the proof would
necessarily have to pass BY mail once
or moro between tho pSrtieS-tho type
in tho meantime remaining idle
which of course tho printer would
charge for.
Well, on that day joint resolution
was offered in the Senate by Mr.. Gran
than, pnt adopted (it was also adopt
ed by the HeusOl ias.rqCting tho Aud
itOr to pay no money for printing t"l
any Of tho PUBLIC institutions Of lhil
State, IN excess Oi,le bid made by the
lowest bidder for public printing. Thii
was reasonable enough and no objec
ton was raised TO it 10 either House
For it was considered that il A Offered
to do certain work for tho State fol
SlU0. tho Taxpayers would not regart
with favor the payment to i Of S90(
for tho same job. A day or two ate
tho passage Of this resolution, the Gov
ernoF issued Ills warrant for tho pay
mont ofMr. Webb for printing tie 70
ports, when It was discovered that
was for nearly $3.50 moro than tn
other parties had offered to do the sam
work for. Consequently, the AulitS
refused to pay the warrant in full, Blu
did issue his draft for the prope
: amogni. At this tho Governor DO
came Indignant. and talked about
maniumas to compel tho payment @
bis warrant; but afor consultation
; with bis friends, 10 very wisely con
Oludsd to Lot The mattor alone.
This 10 q simple statement Of fastS
and tho intelligent reader can draw hi

however, that il the tax payers ar
