HARPER'S MAGAZINE FOR JAN

NJ MAdALlN l. r OlN j AN =
AIRY, 1878.
Harper's Magazine for January is a mir
ror held up TO many parts of the world,
and giving back as many interesting pic
lures as could be crowded into single
number of this largest and most compact
of all the magazines.
The pictures in ga Glimpse of Prague"
are of the Bohemian capital, replete with
picturesque and historical associations.
Here we have the wonderful Carisbridge,
with its beautiful old tower; the Cathedral
of st. Vitus; Wallenstein's old palace
and the old room of the Senators in the
royal palace, out of whose windows the
imperial councillors We're thrown-the be-
ginning of the Thirty \ ears War.
From Bohemia We are transported TO
the celebrated "Hot Springs of Arkau sas," /"
treated in a paper profusely illustrated,
and as useful TO those specially interested
in this American Baden as ii is pictur-
esque and entertaining to general readers
From Arkansas we are carried 10 the
Valley of the Wye, on the 'Welch Bor.
der" and the magnificent ruins of Chep-
stow and Raglan castles, and of Tintern
Abbey, are laid before us III excellent en-
cravings.
Thence we are brought home again to
"Life on Broadway" treated i'm MIR. Ride
ing's happlest vein, and illustrated by our
best artists.
In "Sappho" we have beautiful novel
cite of tragic interest from the pen of Mrs.
c. V. Hamilton, with three remarkably
effective illustrations by Abbey. This
tragedy eliminating under Italian skies
is followed by one OF a more familiar kind
in the brief but touching sketch of y" Mike, 4"
also finely illustrated.
j. T. Trowbridge contributes cold Man
Gram" another OF his ballads of to-day
with three capital illustrations by Rein
hart.
j. W. De Forest, in brilliant paper,
shows how the Turks fought against the
Charlotte Adams contributes a brief
sketch entitled "ChriStmaS in Venice"
full OF pictures that are almost poems
This number contains several excellent
short stories. Miss Thackery concludes
her beautiful Alpine story, ode Capo."
The next number of Harper is to have the
commencement of two new serial novels
one by William Black, entitled "Macleod
of Dare" illustrated by Petite, Millais,
and other distinguished English artists:
the other by Thomas Hardy, entitled, 1.-THE
Return of the Native also effectively il
Illustrated.
Mrs. Fremont concludes the interesting
story of her life in CALIFORNIA; generation
ago.
Besides Trowbridge's ballad, there are
poems contributed by c. p. Cranch, Ellis
Gray, Edgar Fawcett, and s. $. Conant.
The editorial department-always the
most interesting portion OF HdrpeT-is full
OF novel and timely matter.

A. THE MONOPOLY OF GoLD.-The
grandest monopoly in the country is that
Of gold in the hands of the brokers. 1t
is amazing that honest, intelligent and
learned men can be so deluded, as to ad-
vocate its continuance, andwe would not
believe that such could be the case had
we not been familiar with the excitement
a great many years ago, and infatuation
caused by the mania for manufacturing
silk and the cultivation of the mulberry
to feed the silk worms on and the history
of the tulip mania in Holland. Men of
distinguished ability and great learning
were carried away on both of these occa-
sions.
The gold monopoly has had Congress
on its side for the last few years, and
some of the members incline to continue
its aid tc the brokers. But they might
as well extend their aid to the monopoly
of any other merchantable commodity.
Gold is no longer currency-it does not
circulate-it is only bought and sold by
The brokers. Under Nicholas Biddle the
Bank of the United States bought up all
The cotton, at one time at another time
all the cattle and at another time all
the -four, and doled them out at high
prices. But this attempt to monopolize all
the gold, and trade upon it, making the
government and all the people subservi-
ent, is most scandalous. And while this
is being done to aid the millionaires who
did nothing for the government, the poor
soldiers who fought in the war, or labor
ers upon whose efforts the success of all
government depends, is taxed enormous
lv,and forced to receive his wages in silver
or greenback dollars at eight per cent be-
low gold. Thus there is one currency
for the bondholders and another for the
poor people. If silver is remonetized it
will be equal with gold, and enable us to
do much more business than we now do.
Every business man is interested in this
work as well as every man who owns a
farm or house. Contraction and the
want of confidence has depressed every
thing until it is time the people rallied
IN favor of more liberal views. Give us
the gold and silver currency we had be-
fore the war.-That is all the people
want. If that is done greenbacks will
be as good as gold il very short time,
and nobody will then care for gold OF
silver either, We want all our dollar:
on par with gold-the brokers will no
allow this to happen so long as they car
prevent it.

IMPRoFER.-Chief Justice Comegys is
right IN his determination to hold up the
honor and dignity of the Courts. And
why the writer in the Republican, whom
the Chief Justice severely censures,
should apply the word "wag' to Judge
Wootten, we are at loss TO conceive.
For his remarks are invariably pertinent
and decided. They usually tend directly
10 the point. In fact Judge Wootten has
2lways been fond of an occasional joke +;
but never at the expense of another. He
IS one of the most rigldly polite and
gentlemanly men in the State, bearing
himself with the most scrupulous dignity
while his long experience and great legal
learning makes him necessity as well as
an honor to the Bench.
The Chlet Justice himself being a man
Of commanding dignity, cannot fail to
feel that he is ably supported by each of
his associates who are well advanced but
yet remarkable for tn cir healthful and
sprightly appearance, nothing escaping
the sight or ears of either. Associate
W ootteu seated near the witness and hear
ing the more accurately Is thus called on
more frequently to explain, and no doubt
the writer alluded to, appeared in Court
when there was something amusing on
hand. We are sure the writer meant no
disrespect to Judge Wootten, his service
OF twenty-five years on the bench would
forbid this, at once. He has sacrificed
much for the State. He was nominated
for Congress in 1852, but declined and
he might have been member at almost
any time since if he would have signitied
such as his wish. The GAZETTE has
never failed to incGlcate Just wha
Chief Justice Comegys demands, tn,
most profound regard for the Court O
the State, and every youth should b,
taught that in the presence of the Bencl
he Is within the precincts OF true liberty
made sacred by time and tradition, an,
70 attempt to ridicule or degrade it i
improper.
