The Eclectic Magazine for June
Is distinguished BY number of no
table articles. The powerful and
Suggestive paper by Herbert Spen-
Ger, on 'tThe Coming Slavery" is
one TO arrest the attention of think
ing readers. A striking essay in
another vein, by Archdeacon Far
rar, is on Frederick, Denison Mau-
rIce,'' who has affected religious
life in England more than any 9TH
er man OF his time. Matthew
Arnold's American lecture, "Nun-
bers or the Majority and the
Remnant" is published in full.
Special attention is called to SWIM
bourne's vigorous and pungent
criticism, entitled Wordsworth
andsByron." which will be conclu-
ded in the next number. Frederick
Harrison's "Historic Londonn will
be read with great interest; and
among many readable minor arti-

"Alexandre Dumas, the Elder by

Mr.. w. F. Coulter, GAINESVILLE, Tenn: -
The furnace / bought of you last fall for
curing tobacco has given perfect satisfac
ton; so much so that l expect to buy two
more the coming year. My barn is SO by 60
feet, and had no trouble in giving my to-
bacco just as much heat as it needed, after
using open fires two days, and without any
fear of fire. The fires / left burning all
night, and next morning there was no
trouble to start. 1T is not only good for
curing tobacco, but one of the best for dry
ing in damp weather and also for stripping
by. Respectfully,

The Mayor should direct his officers
to keep an eye during the entire night
on certain localities where disturbances
are likely to occur. By doing so out
RACES may be prevented, and law break
ers may be arrested and properly pun

constant police surveillance are Eighth

officers seem to be completely oblivious
of the same. We hope that they may
be more vigilant hereafter, and there
NAV be no further cause for complaint.

The Case Suddenly Altered.

Very listless and Indifferent are some
girls as concerns the war Of temperance
and intemperance raging around them,
as long as their home is unscathed.
But when suddenly, and without a mo
ment's warning perhaps, they see a
brother or a father Of theirs stepping
in among the volunteers swelling the
ranks Of intemperance, going out as it
were to court his death and ruin, then
how suddenly are they reused into in
terest, and how sure thca are they as to
which side they themselves I upon!
Theydo not then draw aside their skirts
in cruel disdain Of anything $50 plebi.
an" They do not then wonder that
people can be so fanatical!' but, with
all the strength of their young beings
reused, they cry out against the fearful
odds their loved one must meet, and
wonder a war so unjust can be tolerat
ed. Yes, very different does the case
suddenly become, and yet, all men art
brothers and fathers to some one. /
only they could be made to realize this
how different would our growing girl:
look upon these vital issues seethins
and bubbliag in the caldron Of life to
day.

The Worlds Exposition.

The Worlds Exposition that is to be
opened at New Orleans, is SO far per-
fected in all its departments that it is
now in order to state that it will be the
largest worlds fair ever held. The
buildings are larger than those erected
for the Philadelphia centennial. The
exhibits outnumber those Of any previ-
Gus exposition. Each Of the States, eX-
cept possibly or two, will be repre-
sented by an exhibit. Congress has
made a loan Of 100000 in favor of
this centennial exposition. The United
States government will make a special
exhibit, the largest it has ever attempt
ed, costing hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars, and to that end a mammoth
building is being erected in the group
of exposition buildings. The Mexican
government has appropriated. 100000,
and will erect a special building for it's
unique display. The CentralAmerican
republics have been aroused from their
long slumber and will be fully repre-
sented for the first time among The
great nations Of the earth. AT the en-
position one may learn more about the
natural resources Of those regions than
by an ordinary visit tc Mexico or Cen
trail America. 70 lovers of music 4
visit to the Exposition will be highly
gratifying as there is a music hall ca
pable Of seating 1900 persons and a
stage large enough to held GOO musi~
clans. Grand concerts will be given
during the season. Besides this the
fact ought to be known that New Or
leans is the only city in the Union that
has had an established opera during
half a'century. Nor is this all. Stran-
gers think themselves well paid by
making a visit Of pleasure to the quaint
old city at any tine: During the car
niyal season tens OF thousands OF visit
ors flock to the Crescent city to see the
gorgeous pageants prepared ANNUALLY at
an expense to the citizens OF from 500
600 to 100000. This lavish expendi-
ture Of money is for the qualification
Of strangers and home folks, and the
displays are, absolutely free. The citl-
zens of the Southern metropolis who
do such large things, i'll such, a large
way, have pledged their word TO make
their Worlds Fair the GROWING event
OF the century and they Will do i.
