The marvellous beauty of illustrated maya
zines of this country is attracting attention
throughout the world. The edition OF Serb
ner in England has doubled within a few
months The London correspondent Of the
New York Tires says: 'The whole lot Of
magazine ANIMALS (English) put together,
are not equal in pictorial art to a single
number of Scribner's Monthly" "The Mid
winter number" just issued, has full page
fontispiece Portrait of Emerson OF rare ex-
cellence and contains one hundred and
sixty pages Of Ietter-press, with more than
seventy illustrations; many of which are
works of art such as before the advent Of
Scribner appeared only in gilt-works and
purely art magazines, and yet it is sold for
80 cents. 1t would be difficult to find an
illustrated book to match it at So. The sub
scribcrs for the current year, get in Scribner
not only four Of these full-paged portraits
Of American Poets, and nearly two thousand
pages OF text equal to 5000 book pages Of
the choicest current literature, with more
than ! 900 illustrations, including a COM
pIete novel, "Haworth's," by Mrs. Burnett,
but shorter stories, poems, reviews, de
scriptions of travels, biographical sketches
etc, and also the splendid series of papers
and pictures of exploration in the great
South American empire of Brazil, delive@ed
free of postage, and all for four dollars.
In Children's Periodicals, too, America
leads the world with st. Nicholas. Prof.
Proctor, the astronomer, writes from Lon
don: "What wonderful magazine it is
for the young folks! Our children are
quite as much delighted with it as Ameri-
can children can be. I will not say they
are more delighted, as that may not be pos
sibIe." st. Nicholas is sold for % cents a
number, and fourteen numbers November,
1878 o 1880 are given for s..
At first glance one would say, literature,
art and cheapness can no further go-but in
this country intelligence is so widespread,
and artistic culture is so extended, that
there is scarcelw any end to the demand for
such magazines as ScribRer's for grown-ups
and St. Nicholas for children, and as the
sale of these publications increases their
conductors will no doubt continue to add
new features of excellence and attraction.

From Cedar Chapel.

CEDAR CHAPEL Jan. 29th, 1879.
Mr.. Editor:
I noticed some time ago in your excellent
paper something in regard to the opening Of
Hatchie river. 1t is not only to the fnan-
cial interest of the people along the river
for it to be navigated but it is sanitary
necessity And as one whose business it is
to look after the health of the people / will
take the opportunity now while the Legis-
lature is in session and as a reminder to
that honorable body to hint that it would
be an important hygienic ordinance and
should be attended to at once. 1 suppose
it is not necessary to go into the Topographic
cal history of the river, for it is well known
by those that are interested, but l shall con-
fine myself rather to its nosogeography. In
the first place 1 will speak of the terrible
disease which the river in its present condi-
ton may and can engender, and that is tn c
pestilence which swept like a pail over our
country last year and carried so many vic
Tins to untimely graves. 1t Is an establish
ed medical fact that yellow fever generally
follows water courses and it is believed by a
great many eminent medical men that il
can and does originate on the spot indepen-
IDENTIFY of any importation. High tempera-
ture with great humidity of air in connec-
ton with stagnent waters and decompOsi-
ton of animal and vegetable matter are l
think the prime condition under which the
disease is generated Ii this be the case,
then, are we not in danger again next sum-
mer should it be as sultry as the previous
one? Look if you please at the Geographic
Medica of Savannah, Ga, as reported by its
physicians They say the city has been
ravaged by yellow fever in previous years,
notably in 1920, 1854 and 1858 to less de-
gree in 1907, 'OS, IT, 10, '27, 80, 40, al,
50, II, '64 and in II. Do you suppose it
was imported that often? l think not and
they say the drift of professional opinion
mas been in favor of the domestic origin of
the disease and farther state that the foreign
genesis of no previous epidemic has been
clearly demonstrated. Now if this be true
of Savannah can it not be true also
of Hatchie river; for about the same condi-
tons exist at both places? Ihave been en-
gagged in an extensive practice in the vicin-
ity of Hatchie river for the last two years
and find that from its nisasmatio nature it
does produce annually malaEial, bilious and
intermittent fevers and that now more fire.
vuently than formerly. From the informa-
ton I get from old settlers it used to be COM
paratively healthy before there was any
INSTRUCTIONS in the river to cause more fire.

The Repeal of Town Charters.

Mr.. Ordway, Chairman of the committee
an Incorporation in Tennessee Legislature,
says that the reason that so many petitions
are being sent to the General Assembly
asking that laws be passed repeating the
charters of certain towns, is that they wish
to Teorganize. Most of these owns have
one or more educational institutions, where
the sons and daughters of the inhabitants
are sent to be educated. There are also one
or more drinking saloons in the same town.
They owe no debts, but simply desire to
have their charters repealed so that they
can have the right afterwards to remove
these drinking establishments four miles
from the present corporation limits.

There is no medicine prescribed by physi-
cions, or sold by druggist, that carries such
evidence of its success and superior virtue
as Boschee's German Syrup for severe
coughs, colds settled on the breast, consump-

A proof of that fact is that any person at
hicted, can get a sample bottle for 10 cents
