ScRIBNER's MONTHLY AND ST. NICHOLAS

ScRIBNER's MONTHLY AND ST. NICHOLAS
The literar y reviewer of one of the lead
ing publications in the country says:
Seminars Magazine "counts ten,r as
DR.. Holland puts it, with It's forthcoming
number, entering upon its Nth volume
Several changes will be made in its editorial
ment of Etchings' will hereafter be
" Nature and Science" into which the
Rev. John c. Draper has condensed a sur
prising amount of information, will be
superseded by a review of The Worlds
Work" The editorial pages will again be
loaded, as has been urged by many readers.
The May contributions will include illus
trated papers on 1.-The Elder Myths by
the Rev. Vim. Hayes Ward of Tile Inde
pendent: on the new " Grand Opera House
of Paris" by Fred. A. Schwab: and on
the Baltimore Bonapartes." There will
be more of the old letters, which, it may
comfort some doubling readers to know,
are genuine antiquities. Among the stories
will be one 10y Geo. w. Gable, the writer
of the remarkable Creole Sketches, and the
poets will number among them Celia Thax
ter and Mrs. Hunt.
The absorption by ST. Nicholas of Tie
dag Magazine of Philadelphia, the oldest
monthly of it's class in the country, calls to
mind the previous achievements of this
voracious Saint. The Rirerside Magazine
was consolidated with it at the start; then
followed our Young Folks, with its wide
popularity and subscription list, and The
Childrcn's Hour of T. S. Arthur came next.
81. NichOlas thus represents six magazines
and the enterprise of its publishers and the
good taste of its editors have made it such
an excellent magazine that many Of its
readers declare it is as good as all the six
together. 1t has certainly obtained list
of contributors such as no other child's
magazine. or few publications of any sort,
in the world can boast. it has also caused
the best writers in America to turn their
attention to the task of giving delight and
imparting culture to children. This alb
sorption of rivals might make 81. Nicholas
a dangerous monopoly" but that its
proprietors may be thoroughly trusted to
give the most interesting articles that can
be obtained for money. The process of
consolidation is necessary result of the
growth of this kind of literature, which
compes, with its increased expenditures,
the massing of the many weak periodicals
occupying the same field into few strong
ones. This is the reason given by the pro
prietors of the consolidated magazines for
the change. In the avalanche OF imma
terial literature that threatens the children
some strong, vitality wholesome, and really
attractive magazine is required for them.
and ST. Ntch0ids has reached Il higher plat
form, and commands for this service wider
resources III a. t and letters than any of its
predecessors or contemporaries

Lady Lecturer in TOwn.-Mrs. II. N.
X. Golf, who is employed by the Good
Templars of Pennsylvania as a lecturer in
the Temperance Cause, visited Elkton this
week, and delivered a lecture in the Meth
odist Church on Tuesday evening. Mrs.
Golf makes no pretension to eloquence nor
employs any of the arts of oratory, but de-
ponds upon the truth and power of her
subject, and her own sincerity Of purpose.
She is one of the praying women who were
actively engaged in the women's crusade
in the West, and her history of that move
ment, and Of the part she took in it, was
deeply interesting, told in her quiet, earn
est way. Her philosophical dissertation on
alcohol and its action on the nerve system
and brain was very instructive, and her de-
scription of drunkenness, or rather her
analysis of what drunkenness really is, was
new and more minute than we have been
in the habit of hearing it described by
temperance lecturers. The discourse of
Mrs. Golf was quite out of the common
road somewhat hackneyed) travelled by the
majority of temperance lecturers, and was
all the more interesting on that account
While the calm earnestness of her manner,
appealed without effort on the part of the
speaker, more or less to the feelings of her
audience the discourse was mainly directed
to the understanding, and like the little
leaven, destined to exert a greater influ-
encs in the future than at the time of it's
delivery. The lecture was free, a collec-
ton being taken up at the close, and those
who chose contributed trie to defray
necessary expenses.

The weather here continues very cool for
Spring, and on Sunday last, in the after
noon, the snow fell thick and fast, at
intervals, until at night the ground was
white. The appearance of the day gener
ally was more like December than the
middle of April. Heavy frosts have been
the result of the cold spell, and if the fruit
is not killed entirely, it is at least in part,
in many places, and kept very much back.

arrangements to build Immediately on the

ANOTHER FIRE.

We are sorry TO have to inform you of
another fire in this place. On Wednesday
last, about one o'clock p. NJ, the alarm
was sounded and was answered by the
appearance of little Waterwitch," (our
engine), which was speedily drawn to the
confagration and set to work. The build
ing belonged to the p, w. & B. Railroad
Company, situated near the engine house
at the lower end of the town, and was
stored with ice, which belonged to c.
Mohrlein of this place. 1t is supposed the
fire originated from sparks from the engine
which passes the building every few hours
during the day. The contents of a cooper
shop, which adjoined the ice house, We're
all removed; but the promptness of the
citizens and persons in the place saved that
building. The loss is but small.

Danger of Public Life.

Can any man of proper self-respect
afford to enter public life? We are
under the impression that he can not.
Two or three weeks ago Mr.. John c..
New was Il popular and well respect
ed citizen of Indianapolis. As a
private citizen ile was above reproach,
and tiIere was powhere any disposi-
tien TO drag his, s,aame in the dirt; he
belonged to no one but himself, and
he had nothing to fear. A superior
business reputation pointed him out
as a fit man for one OF the most re-
sponsible Offices in the gift Of the
government. This elevation seemed
a great thing TO Mr.. New, but the
seeming was wrong. He has given
np-the security and freedom. of pri-
vate life to become the target of NAL
ice and the object of newspaper gos-
sip and investigation; in other words,
he has given up self-ownership for
public ownership. Already a Cincin-
natl paper has written him up in 4
sensational style, and Peoria jour
nal has darkly limited that his hands
are not unstained with crime. Can
any public honor or prominence com
pensate for such violations of the
sacred rights of the individual?--
