Magazine Notices.

Ha-per's Magazine for September is an ar
COSY richly laden with the treasures of Sum-
merland. The number opens with two ex-
quisite engravings; the frontispiece-a full
page illustration, by Abbey, of one of Herrick's
poems-engraved by Smithwick and French;
the other, an engraving by Cole, of Mrs. Jes-
sic Curtis Shepherds beautiful drawing Illus
trating poem by FL. H., entitled The Little
Kings and Queens Then we have an inter-
esting article, by W. FL. Rideing, entitled The
English at the Seaside, describing several IA
nous watering places Another summer arti-
Gle of interest is Mr.. e. II. Ropes's on The
Thousand Islands. The subject has the en-
chantments of Lotus Land. The association of
President Garfield with Williams College adds
a timely interest to Mr.. N. Fl. Egleston's arti-
Gle, An Old Fort and What Came of 1t.
Among the Illustrations is remarkably fine
portrait of DR.. Mark Hopkins, engraved by
Kruell. The Girls Sketching Camp, by Olive
Thorne Miller, is an amusing record Of vaca-
ton spent by some young lady artists of New
York in Maine during the last season. 1t is
Enthusiastically illustrated by W. A. Rogers
and Douglas Volk. Three illustrated poems
in this number-To-morrow at Ten, a Newport
Idyl; The Widow Lees Son Will; and On
Star Island-are also suited to the midsummer
season; so too one of the short stories, At Dea-
con Twomblys. by the author Of Gemini. W.
H. Beard contributes another of his Artists
"reminiscences, entitled Adoniram Algeroy, q
humorous sketch, illustrated by his own draw
ing. Prof. Herbert Tuttle, in his The German
Empire, makes clear and interesting a subject
upon which the thoughts of the majority of
American readers are confused, IL not altogeth-
or vague. 1t is an admirable paper. Most
readers will be surprised by the startling reve-
lations made in paper by E. s. Atwater, en-
titled The Wheat Fields of the Northwest.
According to this writer's estimate, Lord Bea-
consfeld was not an untrustworthy prophet
when, in 1879, he predicted that supremacy as
grain-growing country would soon be at
tanned by Canada. The statements made in
Mr.. Atwater's article will command universal
attention, from the Importance of the subject.
Besides the brilliant serial novels by Thomas
Hardy and Miss Constance Fenimore Wool
son, and the short story already mentioned,
there is brief story, contributed by Annie
Howells Frechette, entitled The Chances of
War, and How One of Them was Missed. A
poem entitled The Chamber of Silence, by Julia
G. R. Dorr, is worthy of note. The Editors
Easy Chair and other departments are fully
supplied with interesting and timely matter.

Discussion Of the Beverage. Cues

In respect to the popular notion that coffee
is an unhealthy beverage, that it keeps up
constant irritation of the stomach and brings
on depression of spirits, ETC., DIR. Richardson,
the well known English scientist, while ad-
mitting that the article cannot be taken in ex-
cess without producing dyspepsia and irritation,
nevertheless asserts that, moderately used, it is
an invigorating, healthful and wholesome
drink, bringing a mans best energies into
play On the other hand, DR.. Book OF Leipsic,
an eminent authority, declares that the ner-
vousness and peevishness of our times are
chiefly attributable to tea and coffee, these
producing chronic arrangement of the diges-
tive organs

The announcement of Chalmers as the
Greenback-Democratic candidate for Sena-
tor in Mississippi against Lamar is regarded
by some Democrats in Washington, says the
Star, as dodge of Chalmers to win the
favor of the Greenback members of Congress
and get their votes in the next House in the
matter of the contest to oust him from his
seat. Lynch, the Republican who ran
against Chalmers for Congress, got ma
jority of the votes cast, but by throwing out
a number of precincts Chalmers was de-
clared elected. Lynch contests the seat,
and unless Chalmers can get votes outside
of the Democratic strength in the next
House he will lose the seat.

Of the United States by its troops, protects
him from summary execution by the en-
ragged populace."

TIE eOVEnngR'S MESSAGE.


We are indebted to the Seattle
"Post-In-telligenoer," for the follow
ing succinct and intelligent abstract
of Governor Newell's Message, de-
livered on the opening OF cur Terri
torial Legislature last Monday:
The first message of Gov. Newell
is a lengthy and complete document.
1t shows our Territory in every re-
spect, and generally in light most
satisfactory. The Territory is not
only out of debt, but has in its treas
ury $22,21S. The receipts of the
past two years have been $13l ,561
and the disbursements Sl06,64l. The
revenue of the two years ensuing at
the present rate OF taxation the Gov
ernor estimates $150,0O0, while the
necessary disbursements at $4,000
He thinks, therefore, that the assess
ment for Territorial purposes may be
reduced from to 2 mills on the dol
lar. The assessable property is un-
dergoing 4 rapid rate of increase,
amounting during the past five years
to an average annual rate of 103
per cent. The assessment of 1880
footed up s23, ,7O8, ,567; in 1881, $685.
7S6,415. Gov. Newell recommends
the abolition OF church taxation. The
condition Of the Penitentiary is re-
ported good as also may be said of
the Insane Asylum. The expenses
of the Asylum for the past two years
were S44, 1874, while those of the next
two years are estimated at $500.
The institution has been conducted
within the appropriation made for it
by the last legislature, which amOun-
ted to $4,000. The Governor does
not favor the erection of large and
costly buildings at the Asylum and
gives good reasons therefor. The
deaf mutes Of the Territory educated
at Salem, Oregon, cost the people
s6S7,50 during the past year, which
expenditure the Governor approves
as eminently proper. The Universi-
ty is given commendation. Codif>
cation Of the Territorial laws is ia
vored. The Quarantine law is con-
sidered defective and something is
suggested stronger The Governor
insists upon the building of the rail
road over the Cascades, which he
says is due by the spirit of the COM
pact with the Northern Pacific Com
pany. State organization IS most
heartily approved and, once accom-
plished, according to the Governor,
''oapital and people will come TO our
borders as a deluge." A bureau Of
emigration is recommended. Many
other miner points Of the Message we
have passed unnoticed, and to what
we have referred has been but very
briefly passed upon. 1t is a good
document and highly worthy peru
sal by all Territorial citizens.
