The OLDEST MAGAZINE IN AVER
IcA.-AlthougL nearly every en-,
knows of Godsy's Lady's Book, i
is not generally known that it l.
the oldest monthly publication il
America. Established in 1880, il
has outlived all other magazines il
this country. Gray-haized mel
and women remember it as an en-.
tertaine1 when their hearts were
young. and young people associate
it with their first introduction to
stories of romance. And the rising
generation find it as pure and in
terestins as did its parents. aye, as
its grandparents did, in the days OF
"Auld Lang Syne." Il is an old
aud well-renembered landmark in
our American literature, and we
doubt not that many of our read
ers will recall with it pleasant men,
cries of other days. The young
editor aud proprietor, who now
publishes it. evidently determined
that all who seek to renew their ac-
quaintance with the old favorite
shall moi be disappointed. As view.
ed mechanically, it is excelled by
none. while Its corps of literary
contributors includes many of the
best known names of magazine
writer's. 1t certainly speaks well
for it and our people, that, not
withstanding the enormous efforts
made by the publishers of the nu-
merous penny dreadfuls," it finds
such large patronage, not only in
but all over the world.
its low subscription price
($2 a year) may somewhat iufiu-
ence its large circulation, We are
inclined to ascribe its popularity to
intrinsic merit, and We most cor
daily bid the old book God-speed
On its second half-century.

Judge J. S. Bossier, of st. Tam.
many parish, was in the city Satur.
day. The Judge was a candidate
for the Legislature from his par
;sh, and though opposed by several
very strong candidates, was elected
bys very handsome majority over
his competitors. The fight in the
parish was very heated, and chiefly
conferred on the election for repre-
sentative, resulting, as we have
stated, in the choice of Judge Bos-
sler. who, no doubt, will make a
faithful representative of his parish.

Tue DoDaldsonville Chief, in its
last issue, published picture of a
colored lady, under the caption
Susan b. Anthony" The picture
was decidedly mediocre, as a work
of art, aud We are unable to say
whether it was intended as CON-
pliment to the illustrious Susan, or
an unkiud hit at the colored people.

more complete organization, and an abler staff OF

The Times has no party to follow, no candidates
to advance, but will meet every issue, as It has
ever done, with consistent devotion to the right,
to honest government, and the public welfare.
And While maintaining It's position as the leading
10 rnal OF Philadelphia, II VIII aim TO be continu-
ally in the advance In all that add value to a
newspaper.
The value Of q newspaper Is not in its size or
display but in the intelligence and care, the con-
ciseneSS and freshness with which It is edited The
Times spends lavishly for news from all p irts OF

citizens OF every political, religious, and social

The Weekly Times Is altogether different from
day OF those papers is gone by. The telegraph and
better local newspapers everywhere, especially in
made the old weekly metropolitan newspaper un-
satisfying. Those that cling to their ancient

greatness, and they have but a shadow OF their
former power. Those papers have had their use
too. 1t was not the fault Of the papers; it was
the improvement OF the country that brought
about the change. Men and women, wherever
they live now require fresher news; and they re-
quire more than news.
The Weekly Times gathers of the types of every

people at large, and sets 1t before them in such
generosity OF paper and print as would have as
