Opens with one of the most charming
frontispieces that have yet appeared
in the magazine, illustrating a fanci-
full poem by Rachel Pomeroy, about a
little giant-girl, who is certainly un-
like any other of her race with whom
we are acquainted.

beautifully illustrated poem of THE

A characteristic illustration of
Democratic rascalty and unscrupu-
lousness has occurred in New Hanlp-
shire. When Democrats are out of
power there are none so loud in their
professions of honesty and their de-
nunciations of trickery, but once in
and there is DO species OF political
fraud they will net resort to fortify
themselves aud 10. perpetaate their
power. The constitution. of New
ernor aud the Council shall canvass
the votes for members of the Legis-
lature. The present Governor and
Council are Democratic, and in order
to give the Democracy majority in
the State Senate they have actually
thrown out 300 votes east for Matt
Head, in the Second Senatorial Dis
trict, on the ground that the candi-
dates real name was Nathaniel Head
This is not denied. but he has been
known for years to thousands Of per-
sons as Matt Head, and not . shadow
OF doubt exists as to whom the ballots
were intended for. Yet, on this film
sy pretext, and for the notorious pur-
pose OF retaining a majority ia. the
Senate. the Democratic Governor and
Council deliberately reject 300 legal
Republican votes. A more high
handed outrage was never perpetrated.
1t is simply an attempt through an
arbitrary exercise of power to defeat
the will of the people by excluding
the man of their choice from the Sen.

the people rejected 1t is intimated

capture of Lawrence say that the silk
combination to defraud the revenue

ever formed. It numbered about 800
members, many of them being men of

cations Of the system were in England

An exchange paper says: There
are no business men in the world SO
subject to the sponging process as
publishers of newspapers. 1t really
seems that public corporations, socie-
ties and associations in general, and
many persons have a funny notion
about printers. They think we ought
to print, puff and publish all for moth
ing; that Is, free gratis, In other
words, they seem astonished if we ask
half price only for an obituary notice,
card OF thanks, tribute of respect. a
personal communication or anything
else that only interests a few persons
and not the general reader. They
forget that it takes money to pay the
compassionate buy ink, type and
paper, and, lastly, they often forget
even to thank you for gratuitously
serving them or the public.

hoard of Health.

The sixth annual report of the
Board of Health. to the Council, was
sent us by the able and indefatigable
President of the Board, DR.. Z. Henry
Davis The condition of our city.
from this report, is most excellent,
and great credit is due the old Board
which we are well-pleased to see is
re appointed for the ensuing year, for
| the excellent condition which our
streets and alleys are now in.
Among the timely suggestions made
by the Board, we note the one relative
to the prompt removal of dead ami
matchmaking a new contract for the
same, and having its provisions exc
cuted; drainage of vacant lots, removal
of garbage, recommending that the
defects in the ordinance regulating its
removal be amended Immediately in
view of the approaching hot season;
the system of house-inspection, prac-
ticed last year with such good results
will be continued this year; the Board
think the increasing demand for a
City Hospital, will result in its estab-
lishment in short time. The Board
speak in high terms of commentator
of the sanitary condition Of our chari-
table institutions, and of the uniform
efforts on the part OF the proprietors
of the slaughtering houses to preserve
cleanliness, and prevent unnecessary
accommodations.
The cost of this necessary and use
full aim of the city is S348-S250 in
salaries for the three members of the
Board, and $9S for inspection.
The death list for the year ending
March 81, 1875. is one hundred and
sixty three. The report concludes as
follows:
1T will be seen by the preceding
statement that our population is H.
900 and deaths 163, giving death
rate of 137 II per cent; smaller than
any city within our knowledge This
is owing to various causes, among
which may be recorded our elevated
position-90O feet above sea level
excellent drainage; clearly surround
ings, together with the apparent uni
versal desire to maintain good sani-
tary condition. We do not use these
words boastingly. as we recognize
Providence in staying the march Of
epidemics before they reached our
borders during the summer last past,
and while we present these facts and
figures as matter of consideration,
for those seeking home with salu-
tary surroundings, it behooves US, for
our own sake, to continue the same
care and effort which has character
lied the past"
