A superb Gift-Book.

Messrs. James R. Osgood & Co. have es-
tablished q cosmopolitan rather than a ma
tionsl reputation alone in their illustrated
holiday gift-books. To the technical tacilI,
ties of q great house they have added tn
finest art site taste in selecting and present
ing the graphic portions of the work, and
pictures and poems blend into a harmoui
Gus unity. This elegant holiday line Of
gift-books began in 1881 with Lucille"
followed by the Princess" the Lady Of
the Lake" and now by the noble poem Of
Marion" 1t is an interesting bit Of Gtera-
ry history to hear the methods adopted to
secure these pictures, that are really por-
traits Of places.
Special artists employed BY the 0sgood
house have passed months in Scotland I'M
der the direction of Mr.. A. Y. s. Anthony,
and the sketches are made with absolute
fidelity to the scenes.
The archaeological details Of figures and
composition of groups and genre are very
finely considered, and that these details are
worked out by such artists as Garrett, Fred
ericks, Fem, Schsll, and Merrill is a fact
sufficient to indicate their quality. The
very atmosphere of the days of cbiyalry
fingers in the pages Of the "Marmion' Of
this year, and the knightly surroundings are
admirably depicted. The figure pieces
from Mr.. Fredericks are especially a de-
light, so strong and impressive are they.
Not with less exquisite art are wrought the
landscapes. Here panorama after panorama
unfolds itself before US as we turn the
pages, the light resting on Cheviot
TAX, the "csstled steep OF Norhsm
Whjtby's clustered pile" the quiet lowell
ress Of Loeb Y~ennschar, the DENLY hills
and Bothwelrs turIets: and the 'uncultured
tresst" Of Elackford, and the till of Twisel
Bridge"-all these and more are given. to
- in revelations Of wild Scottish beauty.
be dedication Of each canto is arranged
With emblemstic border in dainliest design,
and the head and tail pieces scattered
through the book are maryels of decorative
beauty. Never had a poem Of stately i'm,
mortal beauty a more fitting setting, and
Messrs. 0sgood 4 Co. are to be congratu-
lated on having produced a pictured poem
that is a perpetual and e~ver-renewing joy
and delight.
The Christian Union says: THE ~illustra-
tons are pervsded BY the spirit of the poem.
The figure pieces are clear, strong and et.
f~ective; the architectural illustrations, of
which there are many, are very impressive,
and bring out strongly the feudal back
ground Of the story; while in the landscapes
We find both the sublimity and the l~ovliness
of Scotch scenery. This edition of Mar
mion' is, in a word, a worthy form for a
great classic.
The Boston Courier add: Taken as q
whole, this Illustrated edition of 'Marmiou'
seems to US the most entirely satisfactory
illustrated book ever published in the coun-
try, and one to which we can triumphautly
point should discussion arise in regard to
tie superiority of American engrarers over
all the world. II is but justice to add tina,
the excellence Of the volume is immeasura-
bly, enhanced BY the superb printing, every
plate being made to tell for its best.

WHEN Horace GREELEY was defeated for
the Presidency he had too much principle
and common sense to raise a howl and pre-.
dict all sorts OF uncomfortable things for
both parties and the country at large. The
bitterest thing he said was the following;
AT last we shall keep our Office clear OF
blarherskites and political beggsrs, and go
about our daily work with the satisfaction of
knowing that not the most credulous Of
place hunters will suspect US Of having any
credit with the appointing powers" And
then the over-worked journalist closed his
eyes forever. Very different from Mr..

Ar the Exeter a~ssizes, in England, Baron
HUDDLESroN, last week called the attention
Of the Grand Jury to the law and the facts
bearing on the charge against Dudley and
STEVENS, the master and mate of the Mag
nonette, who killed the boy PARKER and de-
voured him in order to save their own lives.
The Judge held that killing under such cir
cumstances was murder, and that the only
hope for the esnnibsls lay in the pardoning
power or the Queen. A true bill was found
and the trial will soon take place.

The Resurrection of Hugh AcCul-
Tough.

The appointment Of Hugh No
CnlIough to be Secretary Of the
Treasury, is one of the best that las
been made for q long time, and one
of the most unaccOunt2ble if regard
I'd from q partizan point of view.
Mccullough was Secretary OF the
Treasury under Andrew johnson,
and was one Of those who signed the
celebrated statement that convicted
Grant Of lying in the matter of the
surrender of the war Office to Stan
ton. After the expiration of John
sons term, Mccullough like Chase,
Seward, Browning and other promi-
nent Republicans of the Lincoln
regime, was shelved politically as
man of liberal if not Democratic
proclivities. and has been regarded
as q conservative ever since whose
sympathies we're rather with the
"ouls" than the "ins." Certainly be
is anything but friend to the Re-
publican candidate for the Presiden-
cy, and we have no idea that he will
vote for him.
The people Of the South and par
,iculsrly of Mississippi have reason
to feel kindly towards Hugh McCul-
lough, for they have not forgotteo
his visit to their distinguished fellow
citizen, Ex-President Davis, when he
lay a prisoner in the dungeon
casemate at Fortress Monroe. It
required bravery and nerve in cab
met minister to make such q visit in
those days, but Mccullough had
both nerve and heart and he was
determined to see for himself how
the fallen chieftain was faring. and
to do what he could tn alleviate his
sufferings. That visit retired him
from the world of politics, aud to-day
his resurrection and return to his
old portfolio is one OF the most
unexpected and incomprehens,ble
things of the day.-Aderdssa Er.

The returns from the several
counties in this Congressional Dis-
trict, indicate that Gen. Catchinys
is elected to Congress 10y a very
large majority, having carried
nearly every county in the Dis
trict
The result is a matter for cnn-
graduation on the part of the p o.
pie Of the District, and Ia peculiarly
gratifying to us. The post was the
first paper to hoist Gen. CatchinIs's
name as a candidate for the nomiDa-
ton; the resolutions Of the Conveu-
ton, the address OF the Chairman
of the Executive Committee, and
the conduct of the campaign, were
all in accord with the ideas sd-
vanced and the policy advocated by
us.
The result Of the contest in this
District will have an important
bearing on the future. Of politics in
this State. 1t has demonstrated
that the colored citizens can be sue
cessfully appealed to upon the
merits Of men and measures. 1t
has demonstrated that there is no
necessity for political murders, for
intimidation, for bulldozing. or for
the terribly demoralizing and
infamous system of ballot box stuff
fling.
Colored leaders like Senator
Gayles, W. f. Mollison, Represen-
tatlve Moore, j. d. Webster, Rev.
Mr.. Griffin in this city, and hun
dreds of others throughout the Dis
trict, gave their active, earnest and
efficient efforts TO secure Gen.
Catching's election. These colored
men, however, just as earnestly
favored and worked for the electian
ot Blaine and Logan. Good faith To
them, a desire for the future peace
and prosperity of the District, every

Her friends tried to console her by

Now, my dear Ca chunky, did it
never occur to your unsophisticated
mind that murder is a greater crime
than perjury, and the man that can
commit the greater will not shrink
from com mitting the lesser, and es-
pecially il his sweet neck depends
upon it? But you say that one of
the material witnesses for the State
was successfully impeached BY Cof-
fee, Caraline and others. This is
true, and no one doubts the truth Of
this statement. But what does this
prove? 1t simply proves that five
able, learned and astute lawyers
did, by their united talents and
learning, succeed in so confusing
an ignorant l5-year-old boy as to
cause him to make contradictory
statements. No great triumph this
to boast of, l should say. And al
