Magazine contains the index to the
half-yesrly volume, which exhibits
more strikingly than a single num-
Der could the exceeding richness
and variety of the literature that is
gathered into this sterling periodic
al. Here are enumerate upwards
of eighty articles, no one of which is
unworthy Of its placein magazine
Of the arst-class, and which, taken
together, furnish vast amount of
instructive and entertaining reading
The leading paper OF the June num-
Der Is a very valuable one on "The
Americans in Turkey" showing that
while other nations are wrcngling
and fighting over the Turks and
their subjects, the Americans have
been civilizing them. Few even of
our own people have any idea OF the
character and extent of the work
which American missionaries have
done and are doing for Turkey.
Next to this the most striking pa
per is a most interesting discussion
OF tho doctrine of Future Punish
ment' by eight prominent English
clcrgmen aud theologians. Other

The SoRRowFUL MAN The Eureka Leode,

The SoRRowFUL MAN The Eureka Leader,
tells the following tale of woe:
poor, lone, weary, half-clad man, with a
care-worn appearance and pair of sticks
with short stick nailed across one end of
each-for crutches, hobbled around town last
Sabbath morning, to ask the charitably dis
posed for a. few dimes with which to procure
bread, that he might thereby appease the
aching void within, and sustain the almost
burdensome life to which want and perjury
had brought him. A tear coursed down the
mendicant's cheek as he told his plaintive
story, and asked assistance at a stranger S
hands. Such agency as his never comes to
those who sit beside cheerful hearthstone of
their own when wintry blasts blow shrill and
keene; the favored of Gods people may know
that abject poverty is wretchedness, but
sgetchedness in theory would place a man,
compelled to practice it, far out on golden
shore whence suffering and misery were for
ever banished His appeal was not unheeded,
and when he bid adieu to those who gave,
each heaved a sigh, and seemed to feel assured
that credit had been given them up there,
With clanking sound his ungainly crutches
bore him and his accumulation of 81 80 with
out the door and down the street.-The
B.rbary Coast dive, where he played pedro
and drank stale beer, until every cent was
gone.

A PRONOUN WANTED.

The Moline, 0ll.) Dispatch treats of GER
tain new ism of the spelling book makers as
follows:
The Peoria Transcript of last Saturday has
an editorial deserving Of more attention than
it will receive, we venture to say, on the sub
ject of want in our language which should
be supplied. The want is pronoun In the
singular number, and common gender, third
person Without which the illiterate, and
many who would not like to be considered so,
constantly blunder, and scholars resort to all
manner of circumlocution Thus: elf any
person tresspasses on these premises,---
shall suffer the penalty" Who shall! The
illiterate would say 'they." But nothing can
be more absurd, unless it be the word che,
which the scholars would use if forced into
such a sentence But as we were saying,
the scholar would avoid it by some circumlo-
cution. OF this the Transcript gives good
example: "'Let every brother or sister e1
anime himself or herself, and looking into
his or her heart, find out his or her besettlng
sin and resolutely cast it from him or her.
A good suggestion was made by somebody
over year ago on this subject-so good that
we believe now as we did then that nothing
more is necessary than for good writer's like
these Transcript people to adopt it, and the
thing Is done. Our advocacy of the new pro-
noun then subjected us to good -natured sar-
casm, but that matters not. Ridicule is the
ordeal through which every step of progress
is made The suggestion was simple nom.
Sc" pos. 'es, obj. Gem" The use will be
readily seen, thus: eff anybody trespasses
on these premises ''e" shall suffer the penalty
of ''es" transgressions. 1t will not be well
for Gem" Nothing is needed but use to
make e. just as good pronoun for the
third person as ''I' is for the first; and it will
hardly be denied that the various cases, as
given above, are etymologically good and har-
monious. In this light let us examine the
sentence quoted above, as an example Of cir
cumlocution: Let every brother and sister
examine "emself, and look into "es' heart,
find out "es' besetting sin, and resolutely
cast it from Gem"

THE GREAT MINE OF THE BASE
RANGE

A the traveller approaches the busy city of
Eureka by night he somehow bethinks him
self of Pittsburg, Wheeling and similar towns
and cities in and among the great iron mining
and coal producing regions of the Upper Ohio.
The lurid lights from the coal kilns, the
steaming glare from the tall chimneys of the
smelling works. the hot and threatening piles
81 Stag, these wierd sights and spectacles of
the neighborhood attest the character of the
district 1t seems to us that Eureka, in the
rofundity of its mines and their vastness is
all odds the most permanent and mex
aaustible mining camp in the State-hardly
excepting our neighbor of the Comstock. The
present promising outlook IN Eureka is shad-
owed forth by the following, which We clip
from the Sentinel of Nov. 20:
The 1900 foot level of the Eureka Consoli-
3ated mine is to-day the most interesting spot
in the Eureka district. 1t is interesting be-
cause of its direct bearing upon the wealth
and permanently of the mines of this immedl-
ate neighborhood. 1t demonstrates that our
mines not only go down to an indefinite depth,
but also grow richer they descend. We
have it on good authority that the 120O-foot
level of the Eureka is promising even better
than the rich levels above. The ore body at
this point is widening rapidly, is cleaner,
better defined and freer of waste rock and
other Objectionable matter, and not stopping
here, actually assays nearly 500 to the ton
i'll gold, to say nothing of the silver and lead
'This is most encouragi nS circumstance for
the future of our town. 1t gives to all prop
erty and business here all enhanced value, for
the good reason that we have ad 1itional evil
dence that the camp las they call it) is
destined to last and flourish for years. The
people of Eureka no less than the sharehold
ecs in this great mine, are to be congratulated
On the bright outlook assured by the valuable
development made at the greatest depth at
tanned by any mine in the district.

DISTRESSING ACcIDENT.-Th .Silper State
OF Tuesday relates the following
serious accident befell Fred Brougham
of Camp McDermit last week while on his
way from his wood ranch He left the ranch
with span of horses and buggy. Something
on the road frightened the horses and they
became unmanageable. The buggy upset,
and his feet becoming entangled in the lines,
he was dragged considerable distance. The
horses broke loose from the buggy, leaving
Brougham under it, in helpless condition,
where he was found thirty hours afterward
His right side is partly paralyzed and his right
arm powerless. 1t is thought he will recover
the use of his arm.

CONKLING AT HOME.

The Administration is probably satisfied by
this time that Roscoe Conkling is a power in the
Empire State. That he will be his own sue
cessor aud the leader of the next Senate are
events which depend simply upon his life and
health He is the head of his party in the
nation, and must in large measure shape if
not control its action in the future. If he
chooses to be a candidate for the Presidency
in 1880 he would go into the Republican
National Convention with a much larger fol-
lowing than he had in 1876. Friends more
devoted he could not have than those who in
sisted upon voting for him at Cincinnati.
But the number of such is much greater now,
and it will be growing host. Judging by
the present outlook, there is but one man
whose chances for the next Presidency are to
be compared with Roscoe Conkling s, and that
man is T. S. Grant. But between these two
friends there can not and will not be any
rivalry. The one of them who first knows
that tko sther desires to have the Republican
nomination, that one will not be candidate.
This might seem to require a sacrifice to
friendship greater than political humanity is
capable Of But we believe both are capable
of it. At any rate, nothing looks surer than
that the name of either Grant or Conkling
will head the Republican ticket i'll 1880
Many would like to see both names on 1t.

Clrcumstantial Evidence.

In the year 1860 two men named Per.
nv and their mother were hanged for the
murder of a man who had never been
murdered at all. Mr.. Harrison, Lady
Campden's steward, having been col
lecting his rents, suddenly disappeared.
John Perry accused his mother, himself,
and his brother of having robbed Mr..
Harrison in the previous year, and hav-
ing again robbed him and murdered him
on the night when he was missed. The
mother and Richard Perry denied all
knowledge of the matter; but at length
plead guilty to the first indictment IN
der some pressure of policy. The other
Indictment was not then proceeded Win,
on the ground that the body was not
found. But John persisted in his story,
and at the next assize they were all trled
for murder. John then Ietracted his
confession. and said he must have been
mad, Nevertheless, they were all con-
demned. Some years after Mr.. Harri-
sos appeared alive, and thus accounted
for his mysterious absence: After re-
ceiving his rents he had been set upon
by q gang of ruffians, carried to the sea-
side, put on ship-board, and sold as q
slave to the Turks. After his masters
death he escaped, and with great diff
