The reprint Of Blackwood's Maya
zine for August has been received
from the Leonard Scott Publishing
Co., Al Barclay Street, New York.
Besides the serial stories "Miue is
Thine" and Pauline which are
each continued at considerable
length, there is an article on Victor
Hugo, embodying a rapid review of
the "Legende de Siecles," which is
declared to be a magnificent poem,
and short criticisms upon his novels
beginning with "Notre Dame" Ad
uniting that he is great poet, the
writer prounces that he is more like
ly to live in his novels than in his
poems.
The pleasant, gossiping "Wander-
er's Letters" are continued, and this
number gives sketch of the career
of Murat as King of Naples.
"The Storm in the East-No. LIP
condcnses the war news up to the
10th of July, and gives better con-
ceptlon OF the progress of the cam
paign than can be gathered from the
hasty perusal of the fragmentary
bulletins in the daily papers, which
not unfrequently contradict the as
sertions of the day before.
The periodicals reprinted BY the
Leonard Scott Publishing Company
No. Al Barclay street, New York are
as follows: The London Quarterly
Edinburgh, Westminster and British
Quarterly Reviews, and Blackwood's
Magazine. Price, $500 a wear for
any one, or only $500 for all. and
the postage is prepaid by the Pub
fishers.

THE Arabs claim that Ewes toni

is at Jiddah, the seaport of Mecca.
The temple, with palm growing out
of its centre, is Supposed to mark the
place where Ewes head rests, and a
domed mosque is believed to be exact
ly over her tomb. According to the
Arabs, the lady measured about 900
feet in height, but, judging by the
dimensions of her tomb, it would seem
that the Ishmaelites much underrate
her real length. Arabs, however, are
very bad judges of distance.

CORRESPONDENCE,
WASHINGTON, 2 !
August 80, 1871

EDITOR DEMOCRAT
Senator Blaine springs to the from
again, this time with an invitation
to Mr.. Hayes to visit Maine. Til,
party invited have received hand
some treatment at the mansion o
the Senator, for he is justly esteemed
one of the most accomplished enter
tainers of the age. No man excel;
him in those qualities which make
other men feel sat home" But O
course Mr.. Hayes had to decline Tx
invitation. Few men except Blaine
would have sent it under thu
circumstances.
The laboring N n Of Mary.
land, especially of cities, are going
into the political Campaign this fail
with an apparently JslroGgr orggoiza
ton. They express o determination
to avoid alliance with all existing POI
lnioal parties, They canno5 OF
course elect enough members Of the
Legislature to materially affect the
Legislation of the State, but q com
pact organization of large and re-
spectacle class must produce excel,
lent results in many ways.
Speaking of Maryland feel bound
to say, on authority Of gentlemen so
situated as to know the facts, that
there is q vast deal of exaggeration
in the last report Of DR.. Chancellor
on the prisons and charitable institu-
tions Of that State. DR.. Chancellor
has perhaps taken the only course
that would have forced the State au-
thorites to make needed reforms, but,
aside from reliable testimony alluded
to above, it is fair to say that his re
port gives internal evidence of exist
ing evils. Now that the people of
the State are aroused, they will, as
far as possible, remedy all that is
wrong.
General Garfield is in Washington.
He goes hence to Ohio, and will
speak there during the campaign.
Wells and Anderson, of the Louisiana
Returning Board, are also here.
They come in the hope of securing
Administration interference to pre-
vent their trial for frauds connected
with their manipulation of votes in
Louisiana last year. 1t is hard to
see how Hayes can use the influence
of his position to bel p them, but they
come in the hope that he will find u
way to do so.
At the War Department they
laugh at the reported danger to Cen.
eral Sherman from the Indians, and
though not in direct communication
with him, they are assured that he is
entirely safe. There is lively fear
about Howard, however, as his last
dispatches failed To report the accus-
toned victory. If General Howard
should overtake Chief Joseph but
will not anticipate.
The late disturbances in many
States, and uncertainty as to the
prospects of business and labor ali
over the country, will have accom-
plished Que good result if the people
Of other States shall follow The ex-
ample of those of Maryland in their
efforts to select citizens of high char
acter for legislative honors and re-
sponsibilities. THE time is at hand
when every section will realize the
Importance of having such men to
represent them. Maryland is setting
an example that every State should
at once follow. MEMO.
