Two American Magazines.

Two American Magazines.
The excellence of American Magazines has
become so well recognized abroad, that one
of the leading English Papers, the London
Weekly Register, in recent issue, thus
speaks of Scrbner's Monthly:

Not only is it true that Scribner's Monthly
exceIs the English Magazines, but it is g The
Best of the American MOnthlies"
In the extent, variety and artistic excel
lence of its illustration of American themes,
it has never been even approached, much less
excelled. 1t has larger page and gives a
greater variety in its contents than any other
of the Standard American Monthlies
In literary character, and in the brilliancy
and ability of its Editorial Departments, it
enjoys an equal prominence.
It, conductors started with the definite
aim of making it tie best magazine IN the
aroTd, of which they have never for mo-
ment lost sight, and they point with pride
and pleasure 10 the May and June numbers
recently issued, and ask for them candid
examination and Il careful comparison of
their merits with those of other magazines:
and they renew their pledge to the public, to
strive for still higher excellence in the future.
A considerable demand has recently arisen
i'll England for st. Nicholas, Scribners New
Magazine for Boys and Girls, one publisher
desiring to secure an edition of three thou
sand of the first bound volume (when com
pleted), with his imprint.
The success of ST. Nicholas in this country
has been even more remarkable than that of
Scribners Monthly 1t is pronounced to be
:" an ideally perfect Magazine for children"
and, as Is the with all the best itera-
ture for children, it has been found to possess
surprising interest for grown up readers, as
well
The influence of the periodicals of the day
can scarcely be estimated, especially upon
the rising generation. Parents and teachers
cannot afford to be indifferent to this iphu-
ence, or careless in relation to the character
of the literature furnished to the children
outside of their school lessons In St. Mich
olas not only are History, Natural Philoso
ply, Literature, Fine Arts, and Manufactures
presented IN an attractive way to Young
readers, but the children are stimulated to
seek information for themselves.

Avery with their families left Supe-
rior on Thursday last-the former
to take up his residence IN St. Paul,
Mimi, the latter in New Richmond,
Wis.
We sincerely regret the removal
from our midst of these two estima-
ole families, and wish them great
prosperity and success in their new
locations. Mr.. Avery came from
New Richmond to this place in
1868, since when, he has been the
popular landlord Of the Superior
House which, with the assistance of
his excellent and kind hearted wife,
he made a delightful and pleasant
home for many boarders and the
travelling public.
Mr.. d. Schultz was one of the
pioneers, settling in Superior in
1855, and by close attention to bust
ness accumulated large wealth.
He has been County Supervisor
and held several other positions of
public trust. He and his intelligent,
benevolent wife will be greatly
missed by this community.

Twenty>eight years ago Mary Showers,
slave women, belonging to Harrison
Bowers, of 0wensboro, was sold to parties
living in Shelby county, Kentucky, and
was, with her little gil of two years, ta-
ken away. leaving her boy, Willis Greene,
then four years old, with her former,
master, John Showers, who had sold her
to his brother. For some time after her
sale she managed to send word to her
boy occasionally, but after couple of
years she was sold to the dreaded negro
traders, and was taken South, after which
all trace of her was lost. The boy Willis
grew to manhood, aud by the events Of
the war became free and came to Eyan>
syille. During all these years, not having
heard of his mother, he supposed her dead.
but her memory was still bright, and be
often thought of her as she mus. have SUI

Charcoal Tor wounds.

Tue best simple remedy I have found
for surface wounds, such as cuts, abrasions
of the skin, etc., is charcoal. Take q
live coal from the stove, pulverize it, ap,
ply It to the wound and cover tho whole
With rag. Tho charcoal absOrbs the
fluids secreted by the wound, and lays the
foundation Of the scab; it also prevents
the rag from irritating the flesh, and Il is
antissptic. II, however, you prefer awhile
scab to black one, uss quinine instead.
This possesses sfl the virtues Of the char
coal. and is, besides. astripgent and

afterwards the gentleman was startled to

from the kitchen. Rushing there 40 was

Pacific railroad recently have CO used the
depletin Of the pocket books Of several
hotel proprietors at different towns, and
among them Warrensburg, and while the
money was parted with, there is still at
least peace in the landlords households.
1t will suffice to narrate how this female
"did her little job at Warrensburg, as
related by reporter.
She visited the town in the capacity of
a book agent to impress upon the iucred.
ulous the advantage to be gained By a
subscription to the "most interesting and
instructive work ever published Arr.
wing in town at noon, she Immediately
went to a hotel. which shall be nameless,
and registered. She was shown to room
and made her toilet. The next step was
to ringa bell which ushed a boy into her
presence, to whom she communicated the
fact that she desired to see the landlord.
The message wa. delivered to the landlord,
and in the course Of few minutes he
met her face to face in her room. As he
entered the room she quietly locked the
door, and placing the key in her pocket,
said:
"Now, Mr., I wish to have a
few moments chat with you"
"Well, ma'am," replied the landlord,
"what have you to say, say it quickly, for
I'm in hurry"
In very self composed manner the
book agent drew herself up, and said she /:
"Now, Mr., you are married man,
are you notY'
ayes, ma'am," meekly replied the land
lord.
"You have children, two of whom are
nearly of age, have you notY'
"Yes, ma'am," again replied tie land
l)rd.
"Wal', then,' said the book agent, "if
you have any respect for yourself or fami.
ly, pay me fifty dollars cash, or l will
scream"
The landlord was bewilderd, and being
a mild>mannered man protested only in
well>rounded phrases. This but made mat.
ters worse, and desiring to avoid disa>
greeable reflection upon his wife and
caildren, he agreed to pay her fifty dol
lars, which be did, and on the evening
train she left for Pleasant Hill, where, it
is said, she played tie same game.
The landlord at Warrensburg thinks it
rather expensive to pay City dollars to keep
a woman from screaming, but their are
only few who know of it, and being q
rather digni6ed gentleman. and one whose
private character is spotless, he is not
joked about it.-St. Louis Dispatch.
