January Magazines.

St, Nicholas has secured Whittier as its
leading poet for the month, he contributing a
poetic account of the voyage of the ''Jettie. y
We cannot give even the titles of all the
choice stories and sketches and delightful pic
lures in the number, there are so many.
Among the contributors are Mrs. Burnett,
Mrs. Dodge, Celia 1haxter, Frank Stockton,
Charles DuGley Warner, Susan Coolidge, and
Julian Hawthorne, SO that it will be readily
seen the number is a strong one.
d. Lathrop 6 Co.'s light and beautiful
magazine for the young folks, the Wide
Awake, begins the new year with host of
attractions, either one of which would be q
fortune for juvenile periodical in the days
when the young people are not 80 well pro-
vided with good things to read as now.
For the very wee ones the Nursery, pub
hshed by J. L. Shorey, Boston, continues to
be without rival The stories and sketches
are short and these, with the poems and pic
lures, are all good and exactly suited to read
ers or li1teners of tender years.
The January number of Scribner's Maya
zine gains special interest from the fact that
it contains the last poem by Bayard Taylor,
entitled the .'Epicedium" on William Cullen
Bryant. But there are several other notable
articles, among them being an account of the
manners and customs in Maryland prior to
and during the Revolution, by Frank B.
Mayer, which is finely illustrated. Clarence
Cook commences series of articles upon fa-
nous painters. The other illustrated papers
are '1he Tile Club at Work." by W. Mackey
Laffan; "The Mountain Lakes of California,
by John Muir. the Western naturalist, and
'The Old Bulls Head" an account OF the
New York cattle trade. The serials of "Ha-
worth, by Mrs. Burnett, and ''Falconburg,
by Mr.. Boyesen. are continued. Besides
Bayard Taylor's poem there are several others
of considerable merit, and the editorial de-
partments are well filed. Published by
Scribner & Co.

hundred dollars and sentenced to four
months in Jail. In sentencing the
prisoners, Judge Marsh said he would
enforce a heavier penalty upon. DR..
Heyl than upon Eaton, because the
former was the principal in the trans
action, while Eaton was only an &C.

such excuse for his conduct, and hence
the heavier punishment.

SENATOR EDMUND's electoral bill Is
sntsgonized by the Democrats as a Re-
publican measure, not because il is not
right, fsir, and honest in its intents
and purposes. The truth is, the fairer
and more just a measure is the less
hold it has upon Democratic favor and
support. There are but few BayaFds
in that party, and they are powerless
to combat its bigotry and superstition
