TULLIDaE's QUARTERLY MAGAZINE.

The closing number OF the. first vol.
ume OF Tallidge's Quarterly Magazine
has made its appearances, and it is
good enc with which to end the 1rst
wear of this periodical. When the
first number came out the public was
astonished, but sgreeably 80. Very
few persona who had read the pros
pectus and announcement of the new
periodical mad any idea that the pub
LEGATION would be anything like so
large, so interesting Or 30 valuable a
work. No one doubted the posses
sion of the requisite literary attain
ments by the editor, but practically
ever ybody questioned his financial
ability to publish in this city maya.
zine the equal In size to the largest
periodical publications in the coun.
try, and one possessing literary merit
aud artistic beauty second to none.
We say this with no disrespect to-
wares the editor, but rather as COM
plimens to him-that where one per-.
son had faith IL his ability to carry
the Quarterly ever the first volume,
twenty predicted its failure. In the
face of these doubts, and we might
almost say single handed, Mr. Tul-
lidge has gone ahead, each number
OF MS magazine showing points OF
excellence over its predecessor. he
happily rounds of the volume with

il. As each preceding number
has had distinctive feature,
80 also has this, the leading paper
being devoted to The Cities of
Cache Valley and their Founders"
Accompanying this and as frontis-
piece to the magazine, is a finely
drawn steel engraved portrait OF
Hon. VIM. B. Preston, Who has been
80 long and prominently identified
with that great grain-producing val
ley OF the west, The article includes
description of Cache County and
it's cities, an account of its trade aud
commerce. personal sketches, biogra.
phles Of some of the leading men,
etc., and is highly entertaining as
we'll as instructive, and valuable as a
collection of historical facts. "Ex-
portation of Utah wheat is another
valuable paper, and will astonish It's
readers by showing to what import
ence in our economy this industry has
grown. It is followed by biography
OF Mr.. s. w. Sears, the leading spirit
and the man WAC first brought
the business into prominence. "Utah
Politics of the Future" will be read
with interest, as will "Utah from a
New Standpoint" toe former by
toe editor, ths latter by Mr.. George
A. Meears. Among the other con-
tributed articles in prose and poetry

ing ikenesses, as we'll as for the ex-
cellence OF the workmanship. They
