Eclectic Magazine.

The January number of The Eclectic,
beginning a new volume and new year
(tne 36th) is remarkable attractive one
While the other illustrated magazines
confine themselves entirely to woodcuts,
The Eclectic makes a specially of steel
engravings, and the present number coll
talns very fine specimen of each Of the
two great branches of the art-mezzotint
and line-engraving. The line engraving
is an exquisite genre picture, entitled
'The Smile" and illustrating the line
from Goldsmiths Deserted Village:
Full well they laughed with counter
feited glee." 1t contains the figures Of
eight children seated en- school-room
bench, and is as happy in design as it is
skilful in execution. The mezzotint is
entitled, ''Sir Walter Scott and his Liter
airy Friends at Abbotford," and contains
thirteen figure portraits grouped about
Sir Walter Scott, who is reading. 1t is
reproduced from Faeds famous picture,
and has been most carefully engraved by
Sartain. Either of these engravings is
well worth the price of the number, and
both together are worth the subscription
price of the magazine:
The leading article in the number is
Professor Max Mullers address "On
Freedom which is much more practical
than it's title would seem to imply, being
discussion of the best methods of edu-
cation, with a comparison Of the English
and Continental systems. The nature OF
the other articles in the number is suffi-
GENTLY indicated by their titles, which

Obituary,

William S. Turner died at the resi-
dence of his daughter, Mrs. Samuel G..
Roper, in the Third ward, Saturday
morning last, December 9th, 1879, aged
u years, of congestion of the lungs. The
deceased had been ailing only since the
Monday previous and was not considered
dangerous until within few hours be-
fore his death. Mr.. Turner came from
the east to Wisconsin some 35 years ago
and settled in Milwaukee where he re-
sided until coming to Watertown about
the year 1876. Early settlers will best
remember him as proprietor of the old
Planters Hotel and subsequently of the
American House on the West side, now
known as the Linden House, always
making popular and enterprising land
lord. In later days he removed to Wau-
pun and kept the Exchange Hotel for a
while at that place. Since retiring from
business Mr.. Turner has made his home
with his daughters, passing most of the
time in this city with Mrs Roper. His
declining years have been ones of real
pleasure and enjoyment to him, having
been cared for and looked after as only a
father can be by loving children. Mr..
Turner was gentleman of affable and
agreeable manners and possessed of
pleasant social qualities which endeared
him to large circle Of friends, by whom
he will be greatly missed. He leaves a
son and three daughters, the latter being
Mrs. J. G. Pease, of Morrison, Colorado,
Mrs. d. w. Moore, of Waupun, and
Mrs. S. G. Roper of this city. The
funeral of the deceased was held at his
late home Monday afternoon, Rev. H.
Thompson, of st. Paurs church, officiat'
ing.
