.NEIV PUBLICATIONS.

The March number of Blackwood's Magazine
has the following contents: Lord Lytton':
speeches ;Andromache,- The Daughters ofPriam
A Dog Without Tail; The Abode of Snow
Zanskar; Alice Lorraine-Part MI; The Pros
poets of the Session. The opening article is the
first instalment of series of articles giving q
sketch Of the political life of Lord Lytton. The
story of Andromachc and the daughters of Priam
here briefly told, gives occasion for a comparison
of the treatment of captives in Christian and Pa
gan times. "a Dog without Tail" is one o.
those fugitive sketches-Lttle Etchngs by the
Way side-for which Blackwood has always been
renowned. In the "Abode of Snow" we continue to
follow the traveller into the little known regions o.
the Himaiya, the vast continent Of mountains
compared with which the Alps are insignificant
The most recent maps give us no help in tracing
his route. The serial story, "Alice Lorraine" is
drawing to a conclusion. In the Prospects of the
Session" we have the assurance that the interests
of the nation will be properly cared for under the
Tory Administration. See advertisement of Re-
prints in another column.

The statements which have appeared in the press

Children's Fears.

Mrs. Kemble, writing in the atlantic
upon the unaccOuntable forms which
childish fears will take, cites some in
stances:
The objects that excite the fears of
children are often as curious and unac-
countable as their secret intensity. Miss
Martineau told me once that special
object of horror to her, when she was
child, were the colOrs of the prism, a
thing in itself so beautiful that it is diff
fcult to conceive how any imagination
could be painfully impressed by it; but
her terror of these magical cOlors was
such that she used to rush past the room,
even when the door was closed, where
she had seen them reflected from the
chandelier by the sunlight on the wall.
A bright, clever boy of nine, by no
means particularly nervous or timid,
told me once that the whole story of
Aladdin was frightful to him; but he
never was able to explain why 1t made
this impression upon him. A very Curl
Gus instance of strong nervous impress
sion, not, however, in any way connected
with supernatural terror, occurred to a
young girl about eight years old, the
daughter of friend of mine. The
mother, the gcntlest and most reasonably
indulgent of parents, sent her up stairs
for her watch, cautioning hei not to let
il fall; the child, by her own account,
stood at the top of the stairs with the
watch in her hand till the conviction
that she should let it iall took such
dreadful and complete possession of her,
that she dashed it down, and then came
in a paroxysm of the most distressivc
nervous excitement TO tell her mother
what she had done.
The Lake County star., 1875-10-28

Did you ever see man try to find a
shirt or handkerchief or something in
the bureau-drawer where his wife keeps
her clean linen 1t mostly happens when
he's in hurry, when he's got his fire.
works temper on, and his wife has got the
baby on her lap, or she is up to the
elbows in dough.
He finds the white clothes arranged in
such symmetrical layers as only a wo-
man after long experience can accom-
plish, and he dives in a good deal as he
would fish for nubs of kindling in bar
rel of shavings, pitching everything right
or left on the floor; meanwhile, as he fails
to get the desired article, strewing and
swearing and Offering up selected express
sions of relief to his feelings in sup
pressed tone of voice, and vowing, in a
way especially designed to reach the ears
of his wife, "that it beats the old
what's his name?-a thing can't be put
where it can be found"
About this time the wife yells out from
below that the article sought is right ut
the top, when he sarcastically wants to
know if he supposes he has "got no
eyes," then tears around into that men
ing that the shirt amt there, for he has
got clear to the bottom.
And then he gathers everything up in
a bunch and rams them back anyhow,
just as he can grab them in savage hand
fuls, tearing around and jerking things
all over with a nervous looseness. Then
he sings out in sort of abstracted way,
M ifaddressing no one in particular, that
he can alwaystell where to find anything
he needs at his place Of business in a mo-
ment; that he keeps place for every
thing, and everything in its place.
just about the time he has worked
himself into great worry of boiling over
impatience, and got the whole room in
litter, his wife glides in and lays her
hand on the missing article, right In the
drawer, where he had jerked Il out and
rammed it back again, in that quiet
way a woman has Of maddening a
choleric husband into a fit state for the
lunatic asylum.

White Leaguers i'm Mississippi.

The Memphis AppcaPs Jackson Miss.
correspondent, gives the following statement
in regard to the so-called treaty of peace,
whereby the militia was disbanded:
The following named citizens Of Kinds County
Gen. j. ". George, Chairman of the Democratic
State Executive Committee; Joshua Green, ID. Shell
L. J. Wharton, Frank Johnston J. &. Rietti, Robert
l.. Saunders, Gen. Robert Lowery, and w. l..
Nugent-held an interview with the Governor.
The citizens, In response 10 the fears expressed by
the Governor that peace and good order would not
be preserved, and that colorod men would not be
permitted to vote as they pleased assured the Gov
ernor that there was no other desire among the
whites than that peace should he preserved the
laws enforced, and fair election had. Lead
ing whites had all along inculcated this, and they
also assured the Governor that they would pursue
this course until election, and would, both by pre-
cept and example, do all In their power TO preserve
peace and good order and secure fair election.
Governor Ames promised that In view of the state
ment made by the citizens, he was willing to meet
their views far he could, and TO meet that end
he promised that he would order all militia compa-
nes which had been organized to disperse and 10
consultation, IL was agreed that the arms of the
several companies should be deposited In depots In
the neighborhood where the companies were raised,
and should there be guarded by United States troops
TO he detailed for that purpose and to be under the
control of the Governor and TO be removed only on
his order. Or II the United States troops could not
be gotten, then the were to be guarded by men
selected by the Governor and General George; that
he arms would not again be delivered 10 the miitis
except in case OF riot or insurrcct0n which could
not be suppressed by the civil authorities.
