A SPLENDID SUccEss.-The May number
of our home illustrated magazine, The Cali
fornian, opens with full-page portrait Of
the poet Longfellow, which, it is not too
much to say, is the finest piece of engraving
ever done On the Pacific Coast. The pub
fishers have not spared time, trouble. or
money in making this picture the best that
could be produced. Prof. Sill has in the
body of the magazine an article on the dead
poet that is at once discerning and appreci.
alive. A profusely illustrated series OF
Studies of the California Missions" by
Francis F. Victor, is begun in this number
A character poem by J. Russell Fisher is
also accompanied by spirited engraving,
'Only Tramp" Amelia W. Treusdell has
a poem entitled ''The Lost Jeanette" and
there are numerous other articles of ability,
including several stories Of marked power.
James O'Meara tells the story of the cele.
brated Mier prisoners. Altogether this is
one of the best issues of the Californian, and
it ought to be in every ones hands.

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS IN 1882. The
American Newspaper Directory, which will
be issued next month by Geo. P. Rowell 4
Co., of New York, will contain the names
of l0,6ll periodicals in the United States,
which is gain of 344 in the year just
passed. The number of daily papers has
increased in a somewhat larger proportion,
and is now represented by total of 99S
against 92l in 1851. The largest increase
has been in New York-lO dailies, 30 of all
sorts. Illinois and Missouri show per-
centage of gain which is even greater, while
Colorado leads all others in the percentage
of increase, both of daily and weekly issues.
California, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, Ten
nessee, South Carolina, Vermont and West
Virginia have fallen behind 1881 in the to-
tai number of periodicals issued In Maine,
Georgia and Massachusetts, the suspensions
have exactly counterbalanced the new ven
lures. In every state not mentioned above,
and in the territories, there has been an in
crease.

Park, commencing at half past four o'clock.
The programme will comprise some of their

series of concerts to be given in the park
during the summer.
A WINDY DAY.-The wind blew some on
Monday, part of the time at the rate Of SO
miles an hour. No damage was done here,
but the steamboats, felt it. The Portland
Standard says the Cayqf Salem had one side
blown out of her pilot house while coming
down from Oregon City. The Stark street
ferry was obliged to stop running several
times. We may expect to hear Of accidents
among the fishermen on the lower Columbia.

complains that the weather continues cold
and wet, and the season is several weeks
later than usual. A few plum and cherry
trees are struggling into bloom, but the ma

At the Commencement ofTrinity College
North Carolina, Rev. DIR. J. J. Laferty, "
the Richmond Christian 4irocite, delivered
the annual address to the class of 1882, taxi
ing for his theme THE Old Time and the
New" Among ether things he said:
"The Confederate could not conquer Prov
idence. The Union was not doomed TO death
1t could no; have lived had S.onewall lived
another day. When the wounded warrior,
in great faith and.submission to the will OF
Heaven said it is all right, he uttered the de
cree Of God The army of Northern Vir-
ginia beat Mcclellan, Hooker, aud Burnside
yielding only to Jehovah"
And again:
If battle tested the powers of the South
defeat tried them in the furnace. The so
cial fabric tumbled to pieces. The African
from the ricc-swnmp was ordered to put hi.
muddy foot on nc neck of scholars and
statesmen. " was ~ if q continent, with

In conclusion the speaker said: =

Dangers or Eating as Sesr by Hu-
mOFist.

About wear ago We had discarded every
thing tha, we thought was dsngS rous to the
health. when We were startled on learning
that syrup was adulterated with nitric acid,
and that miasma ldrked in the deadly folds
OF the boarding house batter-cake. Zig
ures were given to show THAI the dreadful
batter-cake habit was spreading, andproph-
ecies were made that it would eventually
ruin the constitution Of the strongest deyo-
Tee. and reduce TIE nation to vast hospital
of hap-jack inyalids. Go the ba.ter-cake
was scratched of our list OF e,lible fruits,
and next went the fragrant Goldfish ball, be-
cause it WIS said to produce cold feet.
Then We learned that the sai-hce,i and
cohesive biscuit was a synonym Of indiges-
tion, and the uno,tcn'atious sraut but an
other name for rheumatism, SO that the bis
cult and kraut had ia 90; then We found
out tha. castor oil contained the germs OF
ingoststic molecules, whatever that i, and
were, therefore, forced to give up the use Of
that hilarious beverage.
This thing wen: cu till sc had cut off ev-
erything from our bill Of fare bu; cistern
water and chewing gum, and ye, found our
selves no stlonccr or healthier than when
we were fastening to the tomb from the ef-
fccts Of go,ging ourselves with heavy line
Of assorted po:sons three or four times 4
day. s~
About ,,is line man came along With q
magic l-n5ern, and showed us that every
drop of ,storn water contained an aquari-
um Of hidcous marine monsters with wig
Cling tails, and a druggist tod Us that the
habi. cs gum-chewing vas fruitiu! source
of cancer.
Next thing @c did was to swear of being
an Internal fool on the diet question, and
now We eat anything and everything that
our teeth will ma-ticate or our palate COM
mend. and we can work ten hours day
and see to read small prirt withor' specta-
clcs.
