flying, the Baltic cleared the bar and
proceeded on her voyage.

all our shilling monthly serials for brillancy
Of illustrations and variety of contents.
1t is simply a wonderful shilling's worth.
Nothing can be more charming than the
cuts-full Of force and vigor; the light and
shade are managed with a truly arts tic
power. Out of its one and twenty original
articles we really do not know which to

Not only is it true that ;Scribner's Month

"The best of the American Monthiies."
In the extent, variety ard artistic excel
lence of its illustration of American themes
it,has never been even approached, much
less excelled. 1T has larger page and gives
greater variety in its contents than any
other of the standard American Monthlies.
In literary character, and in the brilian-
cy and ability of its Editorial Departments
it enjoys an equal pre-eminence.
Its conductors started with the definite
aim of making it the best magazine in the
world, OF which they have never for mo-
ment lost sight, and they point with pride
and pleasure to the May and June numbers
recently issued and ask for them candid
examination and a careful comparison Ct
their merits with those Of other magazines;
and they renew their pledge to the uublic to

DE M0CRATIC PROGRESS.

rhare is light in the East, and Dem
erzcy in New England gives hopeful
i,.us Of progress and reform! At the
nnual spring election the democrats
,fConnecticut secured the Legislature
sthsmse Ives, which gave them an op-
artunity of electing United States
eHstor in place of Senator Bucking-
AM Here was given them rare
mortunity to show their hand and
y their selection indicate to the coun-
ry their determination to follow the
ID paths no longer, but strike new
;sE. The choice for Senator fell up
wv. ". Eaton who, as the New
lark Horld says is "a true blue dem
srzt," and We presume were he to
rec In Wisconsin, would be considered
Performer" par excellence.
That is meant by "a true blue demo
7sat'' these days, and an eminently fit
ing person to bear alott the standard
III which is inscribed progress and
,~form" can be best understood by Civ
.ag the following brief biography of
e the democratic United States Sem
ZOE. Of Connecticut, taken from the
pittsburgh Commercial:
cat the outbreak of the rebellion
III threatened that the Massachusetts,
Soldiers, en- route to Washington: would
azxe to pass over his dead body. One
s1she he was detected in an attempt
"a tear down the United States flag in
.ha streets of Hartford. He not only
appsesa the raising of troops and reve-
ease, but he counseled armed resistance
90 the draft and collection of taxes.
Ha' denounced those patriots who vol
z.sssred for the defense ofthe Unisn as
Lincoln hireIings" and abolition as
szuzins;;" and he rejoiced over rebel
victories and mourned over rebel de-
fsats- His speeches ranked with the
ssss& rsncorous treason. Short of TAX
7ns up arms in its behalf, he did all he
possibly could to aid the rebellion, and
from the beginning to the end of the
xzx was and glorifed in being a deadly
Enapfacable enemy of the Government
aud of the Unioc."
