aim is to elevate, and it is pure in
character in every department,
while entertainment and instruc-
ton are skilfully blended, so that
ito matter is exceedingly interest
ing from beginning to end. In
deed the chronological Journal is
a capital illustration of what can
be accomplished in the way of
making science pleasant to the
general reader. The first sketch
is that of the Rev. DIR. Fair, Epis-
copal divine of distinction in Bdlti-
more. Then comes very interest
ing description of the Chinese at
Home, in which the reader finds
many features tina. are entirely
new to him, aud bearing closely
upon the special work of the
chronological Journal. The in
stallment of "Brain and Mind"
furnishes clear and definite appli-
cation of the science and delinea-
ton Of moral qualities. An inter-
estine article is that of "Poe and
Rachel" Elizabeth Thompson, the
English lady who has suddenly
leaped into fame, occupies a place
in this number, with an excellent
portrait. Our young people will

an appreciative sketch of him is
given, with portrait. Miss Cole

Man" in her usually pleasant and
careful manner. All the depart
ments are replete with amusement
and instruction. The smaller type
especially abounds in valuable hints

ROehm & Wright Prize.

The jewelry firm OF Roehm &
Wright, of Detroit, has completed
and presented to the State beauti-
ful gold badge, which is to be the
object of competition at target
practice by the different companies
of State troops at the next and
each succeeding annual encamp-
ment of the troops. The Free
Press March odd, says:
Adjutant-General Robertson has
received from Roehm d Wright,
jewelers. of Detroit, an elegant
gold badge, to be competed for in
target practice at encampments of
State troops. This badge, the gift
of Roehm Il Wright, has been
accepted by the State Military
Board as the property of the State,
and offered as a prize at the annual
encampment, to be given to the
company making the best score.
The badge and pin are of heavy
gold the bar of the latter is orna-
mental in shape, and has across its
face in raised letters, the word
"Michigan," the monogram rs. T."
indicative of estate Troops" being
intertwined. Dependent from three
links from the cross bar is the
badge proper, in general outlines
conforming an oval about. the size
of a silver dollar. At the top is
scroll inscribed in small letters
enameled in black, "Roehm 81
Wright Prize" Below is the
smooth face of the tablet in red
gold, upon which, in prominent re-
lief, a soldier in gold of lighter
tint. stands in the act or making
ready to fire-his eye upon a tar
get engraved upon the horizon of
the tablet. The figure is well
modelled, minute and correct. The
foreground is very correctly de-
lineated by heritage lines in green
gold. Wreaths of laural, also in
green gold, surround the tablet
and the butts and bayonets of cross
ed muskets are prominent at the
corners.
The length of the medal, includ-
ing pin is fully three inches. Ad-
jutant- General Robertson will place
the badge upon exhibition at
Roehm e. Wrigbt's store, in De-
troit, Saturday morning.
In anticipation of the coming
strife for the badge, a number OF
Co. ii. State troops, Alpena, are
already trying their skill with the
rifle, and il any other company
succeed in carrying off the prize,
we contemplate they must do some
good shooting.
