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 Scribner's Monthly:
. Ne are constrained to oan that lScribner's
Noattly carries of tie prize against oil oar
shilling monthly serials fo,. brHiatcy Of illus
tratioas and gariety Of contents. 1t is SIMPLY

o'gor the light and Stade are managed agih a
truly artistic poaoer ont Of It's one and tpe,sty

choose as best, for each altd all are ercelient" +.
In the extent, variety and artistic excel
lence OF its illustration of American themes,
1t 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 briliancy
and ability of its Editorial Departments, it
enjoys an equal prc-eminence.
1t. conductors started with the definite
aim of making it the best magazine IN the
ic0rld, of which they have never for a mo-
ment lost sight, and they point with pride
and ,pleasure to the May and June numbers,
recently issued, and ask for them candid
.
their merits with those Of other magazines !;
and they renew their pleoge to the public, to
strive tor still higher excellence in the future
considerable demand has recently arisen

pleted), with his imprint
The success of st. Nicholas in this country
has been even more remarkable than that OF
ocribner's Monthly. IL is pronounced TO be
: an ideally perfect Magazine for children, y
and, as Is the case with all the best litera-
ture for children, it has been found to possess
surprising interest for grown up readers, as
well.
/ The influence of tue periodicals of the day
can scarcely be estimated, especially upon
4 the rising generation. Parents and teachers
cannot afford to be Indifferent to this iniu-
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 Phioso

presented in an attractive way to young
readers, but the children are stimulated to
seek information for themselves.

OUR NORTHWEST COAST

From an article in the San Fran
cisco Bulletin it appears that some
important results were obtained by
the expedition under DR.. Dali,
formerly of this city. The expedi-
ton along our Northwest coast has
just returned to San Francisco
The coast line was found to be con-
siderably different from the one put
down on the maps. Immense gla-
ciers, at present in action, were
found. Only few years ago it
was supposed there was nothing of
the kind on the American Cont
nent. Were Agassiz alive, how
eagerly would he visit them and give
all the facts in regard 10 their size,
location, etc, to the scientific
world. 1t is asserted that Mounts
Crlilon and Fairweather are $4,000
feet high, and that Mount ST. Elias
is the highest mountain on the con
tinent, but the figures are not sta
ted. The location of this and 9th
er mountains are also corrected by
the results of the expedition.
Salmon and trout of the finest yari-
cites are very abundant, and our
fisheries thereaway will doubtless
in due time be of great Importance
and value. Our scientific readers
will await with Impotence more
particular and extended report of
this expedition Chicago Tribune.

Death of Senator sumner.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Dur. ing the session of the Senate, yesterday, Senator Sumner ex- perienced a slight attack affecting the nerves of the heart, but he soon rallied from it, and latter in the day entertained his friends a' dinner. In conversation at the close of the dinner the Senator made some allusion to the cOndi- tion of his heart, and between g and 10 o'clock in the evening, he was taken so sick, that his phy- siciau was called in. An hour ater the Senator suffer ed a second attack of his old. disease of the
 
 heart, angina pectoris, subcuta. neous injections of morphine were resorted to, and under the influence of this palative he pass. ed quiet night. At 1 o'clock this afternoon, while under the infiu. ence of opiates his extenuities be- came cold and showed that he was sinking. At 2 o'clock his friends and numerous physicians were called in. He would awaken at intervals, and was in great pain, but he knew and spoke to his friends. At 8 o'clock to-day. 1 Charles Sumner died.

A PLEASANT PARTY.

The ball given at the Conrt- house last Monday night in honor
 of MT. and Mrs. Fitzgerald, the
 newly.wedded pair: and their ar-
 rival in town, was a most pleasant
 and brilliant affair. It was par.
 ticipated in by a very large as- semblage ofladies and gentlemen of the very best society in Yuma and vicinity. The ladies parti- cuiarly, were magaificently dress
 ed, and pleasant, lovely and fas- cinating, as they always are. The
 dancers enjoyed themselves to
 their utmost capacity and the
 wall flower5," enjoyed them- selves as we'll. The music was good and "all went merry as a marriage bell" With an entire absence of that conventional res. traint and stiffness that mars the enjoyment of many parties in other places, but with a perfect of refined decOrum, all to contribute to the pleasure of each other, and con. sequentIy all were happy. It will long be remembered as the ball of the season.

PRESERVE THE PEACE.

EE
 There is nothing more import.
 ant in community than the
 preservation of the peece; for on
 it depends the Safety of life and
 property, the security of home
 with all its hallowed associations,
 and the general we'll being of
 society. Every community is
 infested with a certain proportion
 of men who do not delight in
 peace. Turbulent, degraded
 creatures, whose element is in
 disorder, being governed only by
 the lowest impulses, they are
 never so much at home as when
 engaged in a row. If com.
 munity was composed of that
 class alone, no harm could be
 done, and we would be content to
 let them fight it out like the Xii.
 kenny eats. a number of which
 were shut up in a pit for
 grand battle, and when they
 were through nothing was left
 but bunch of hair and their
 tails. They had eaten each other
 up. But communities are not composeh of that class of men,
 but Il certain number of them will
 creep in, aud ifthey get too thick, they poison the very atmosphere. They are the parasites, the ver- min of society. It is for them that our criminal laws are made, for were it not for them we would | have no use for criminal laws. The law requires officers to exc cute it. These officers are under oaths and bonds to faith fully per- form the duties of their respective offices, and to them the good peo- pie of the community look for the preservation. of peace and good order and for the safety of life and property. Thus we see there is heavy responsibility resting upon these officers; a responsibility from which they may not shrink without committing the crime of perjury and forfeiting the amount of their bonds. Any officer who stands by and sees the peace broken without using all the power that the law gives him to arrest the guilty parties, himself a crime. He may think sometimes, that it IS not worth while to arrest the parties, but he has no right to think so. He has 1; DO discretion in the matter, he is . B cOnservator of the peace, and the interest of society requires that he should be prompt and faithful in the discharge of the : duties that the law imposes upon him. It is only by the prompt arrest of the rowdy and the brawler and all those who set aw and order at defiance that we t ,an hope for peace and security. | We make these remarks now in d general way, without naming my one. But we think we will u ,e understood. ft
 Yuma has been noted for peace n nd quietness, but some disgarce- ul scenes have occurred here ately, and the people demand c hat they be stopped. Let row. a lies beware. Let officers do their Iuty, and 'let us have peace." U
