The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1875-12-20

Tue atlantic Mpmthly for January is
an unusually rich number. Opening
with long and brilliant instullment
of Mr.. lIowcrs new novel, ii includes
articles Of travel, history, literary criti-
cisms, and matters OF public interest. Oi
the last named sort is Charles Francis
Adams, Jr's third railroad paper, entitled
The Revere Catastrophc.' Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps contributes An entertain
lug account OF Going South, which Is
followed by charming essay from Miss
Harriet Preston on jacques Jasmln,"
the Provinril poet, Including graceful
translatiuns from his poems. Few maya
zine papers can offer the fresh touch aud
ripe literary skill here combined Mr..
Allen b. Mpgruier tells about "Lincoin's
Plans uf Reconstruction; w. IL. Bishop,
a new writer gives An original and start
linz short story, zone OF the Thirty
Pieces" and Mr.. Whittier contributes II
poem of exceeding loveiiness, called Sun
set on the Bearcamp." "rhe Mafusi Of
Sicily" is a curious account OF 5rigand,
are in that island. II is followed by n
ch lptcr of Mrs. kcmble's "Old Womnn'S
Gossip thu photographed interest OF
which is heightened by the insertion of
some letters written by her in youth.
Oliver Wendell Holmes adds to the list
some witty verses, "A Familiar Letter
to aspiring poets, and Mr.. .HowclIs re-
views in a short paper "Four New
Books of Poetry" Besides all this, we
have poems from Aldrich, Maurice
Thompson, Mrs. Patt, and Ms. Moulton,
and the editorial departments which con
tain reviews of SLedman's victorian
Poets, General Boynton's book on Shcr-
man, an interesting account Of "Educa-
ton in the Western States and much
other matter.
This number of the atlantic begins the
thirty. seventh volume of the magazine,
and a more abundant and promising
opening II would BE- difficult to devise.

Iippineotl's Magazine.

Lippincott's Magazine makes a strong
bid for popular favor during the coming
year by beginning in the January mum
Der series of papers entitled "The Cen.
tury, its Fruits and its Festival, ana
designed AS the name indicates, as a re-
cord of the Centennial Exhibition WINE
in progress. The opening paper gives "
spirited sketch of the general advance
in the past hundred years and the ch'el
inventions and Improvements That nave
reyoutionized society. After TINS prellii-
mary survey the series will be illustrated
and can hardly fail to prove attractive
As well rs serviceabe The third install
ment of Mr.. Bruces up the Thames,
furnishes very pleasant reading, ana
throws fresh interest on the historical
sites and picturesque scenery depicted IN
the fine wood cuts that accompany the
text. Another illustrated article trans
ports us to India, and deals IN some
what novel manner with its religious
systems and ideas, always Objects OF
wonder and inquiry. Three other art'-
cles in the number call for special no
tlce: "The House on the Beach when
is graphic account OF the signal service
and the benefits it cOnters on the country,
bv Mrs Rebecca Harding Davis an aG-
ecdotical paper on court life IN France,
under the title Of "Gentilhomme and
Gentleman bv writer who has evident
~ a personal knowledge of the scenes
and incidents described; and letter
from Portugal, giving Il vivid but appal!-
ing picture of the restitution and demon
alIzation that prevail among the masses
of the people. The variety of the con-
tents is well maintained by an entertain
lns article on "Od Plantation Life
in South Carolina" by Robert Wilson;
the continuation of Mrs. Unions able
and interesting serial, "The Atoncmcnt
of Lean Dundas;" and story by the
author OF Biindpi.S, Lady Arthur Eli
don's Dying Letter" which is marked by
the shrewd observation and insight into
the character that distinguish the anony-
nous writer. a fine poem by Mrs. KEN
Bile, and letter in the Gossip" descrIb
ing the recent performance OF the h'eN-
=esScheaie at ODER Ammergau, should not
be overlooked. The whole number Is
bright and readable in Il high degree, and
commcnds this magazine strongly 10

We were shown on Yesterday some pig
iron made NJ the iron works in BraXton
county. This is the first that has been
made at these works and is said to be of
the best quality. They also brought
with them some of the ore from which
the iron was made the quantity of winch
in that county is said to be inrxhausta-
bic. The company propose sending some
of this iron to Mr. VI. +. Maury to be
forwarded to Philadelphia. Let our del
egates in Congress secure an approPF'a'
ton for the Improvement OF Elk river
and it will be but short time until blast
furnaces will be started at several POI nts
where this rich ore is so plentiful.

NJ. Nicholas for J ,nuary

Is, as might have been expected, an eX-
ccptionnIy beautiful issue OF this invarla-
bly, beautiful magazine.
For single, humber of children
periodical, its list of contributors IL an
unexampled, an astonishing, an cxtrava-
cant one, for among its stories are:
Bayard Taylor's vivid and charming mar
ratlve of zion of Iceland" Edward kg-
glcston's characteristic "Hoosler FAIRY
story Louisa M.Alcotts jolly account OF
"Muiorie's Birthday GIFTS j. L. Irow-

contains ii. H's "St. Christopher" Celia
Thaxter's "Piccola, and &. z. Cranch' 5
How Willie Cousted by Moonlight.
All these articles, moreover, are thor
oughly representative of the individual
aud widely recognized ability OF their
authors, and all but two are beautifully
illustrated; the gorgeous picture OF "St.
Christopher reproduction OF Iolnette :
celebrated painting, forming worthy
rronuspiecc for such brilliant number.
And as for Christmas-wel tiGurntlve-
" speaking the good saint gives Us Il seat

merry voyage round the world The

certainly given to the children of the

We have received the supplement

We have received the supplement
of Greensborough, Ga, p apcr, in
which we find an obituary notice
of Edward l.. Lewis, Esq, a talent
cd young lawyer of that place. The
perusal Of the notice carries rs back
twenty years to our college days in
that glorious old state, and whilo
we sorrow Al the death of our young
friend and kinsman, we find glad
ness in the recollection of him aud
other dear ones of his family circle,
who lavished upon us in days now
gone forever, their affection and
hospitality. The deceased was a
mere boy then, but his manly bear
ing and noblencss of character
touched our heart and have ever
had a cherished place in our affec-
tons. To his grief stricken parents
and other members of the family
we offer our warmest sympathy
and coincidence. Peace to the ash
es of the just, the true and the bravo.
Lightly rest the sod above him;
Sweet and peaceful be his rest,
May he wake with God and angels
In the kingdom of the blcst.

Recurring to the killing of Louis
Tanner last Tuesday night, We can
rot withhold the expression of our
ecnsure of the act, and our dcnun-
citation of the lautessness rife with
s"me Of our young men. Acts of
this character give . set back to the
prosperity Of tho country and are a
ssrious hindrsnce TO the welfare of
Eli peaccabIe and law-abiding citi-
zcns. Human life should not he
held 20 cheap that It can be taken,
~ il was in this and similar cases,
with little or no provocation. II
such be the case, no man is secure,
and his life is at the mercy of the
heartles~, unrsasoning, unfeeling
desperado. And while this is 80,
and while the very highest estimate
should be put upon the value of hu-
man life, SO too, should an equally
high estimate be put upon individu-
a rights and libcrsies. If human
life be q racred thing, so also should
human liberty be n sacred thing,
and the right 10 it respected.
