Mr.. f, B. Thurber, of New York.
furnishes to the December Scribner
paper Which will be widely read, and
which bids fair to create considerable ex-
element. 1t is entitled THE Railroads
and the People," and it presents most
torclbly the recent exposures of corrup-
ton in the great railroad monopolies of
this country. The December number of
Scrbner contains also many striking il
Illustrative rs well as literary features.
The November issue was the largest
number ever printed: it contained one
hundred and seventy pages, and was
crowded with brilliant pictures and arti-
Giles of more than usual interest.
Of the success of Scribner's in England
MIR. Jennings writes as follows to The New
York World;
"What [ was going to tell you about
was the wonderful way in which Ameri-
can magazines are getting on in London.
Scribner's has had very large sale here
tor some few years past, and its circula-
ton must now be, | think, fully as great
as that of any English magazine, and it
would not surprise me to hear that it is
greater Its illustrations have made it's
way easy for it. A very distinguished
wood-graver once told me that no work
done in England in his line nowadays
is worthy to be compared with what he
saw every month in Scribner, if men
toned his name, there is no one on either
side the Atlantic who would dispute his
fitness to pronounce an opinion on such
a subject. The rapid advance of Serb
ner's is easily accounted for, and is
thoroughly well deserved"
The price ofScribner's Monthly is $4.OO !
year, and new subscribers who begin !
with the November number may
secure, by the payment of'$1 90 addition
al, nine back numbers containing all |
Of Part /. Of Schuyler's now famous serial
history of Peter the Great. of which Rev.
Edward Eggleston recently wrote; at

aid to the imagination to make it one of
he most curious in human history

EDITOR REPUBLICAN? I see by the pro
ceedings of the Board of Education, of
Dec LIST, published in the REPUBLICAN of
Dec. s, that duplication was made to
admit Freddy and Doretta Rack, pupils,
into the public school free on account of
charity" Freddy and loretta Rack
are children of my late brother, Theodore,
and [ wish to say to the Honorable Board
of Education that no such application
has ever been made by any one b wing
the care of the said Freddy and Doretta
Rack. And could further say that the
said children are not necessitated to be-
come charity pupils but that their
guardian and other relatives are able and
willing to pay for their tuition, if it is ht Id
by the Honorable Board that they are not
entitled to attend the public schools on a
par with other children. l am also inform
ed by competent authority that the said
Freddy and Dorretta Rack are legally
entitled to the benefit of our public
schools, and | take it, that the action of
the Board in the premises is direct and
uncalled for insult to my late brother,
Theodore, as well as to myself and other
relatives Of the said Freddy and Doretta
Rack. Respectfully,
EDWARD Rack.
