The time has passed. for the weekly

newspaper. The daily newspaper from
the great centres of news row reaches
into every section of the land. Every
island city and every town ofimportance
have their daily newspapers and the
local weekly, with the wonderful pro-
gress in provincial journalism, meets
every want that the daily newspaper fails
to supply, The metropolitan weekly of
to-day must be much more than news
paper it must be magazine of family
reading it must lead the magazine in
popular literature; it must lead in popu-
lar illustration, and must meet every re-
quirement of the intelligent reader of
ever class.

clothing could be eXtinguished The

DIR. Bryce's Reply to Mr.. MuIIen--Almost
an Unnecessary Notice.


an Unnecessary Notice.
To the Editor of The Times
Accidentally | have seen copy of the
Labor Herald of November 9th, contain
ing quite choice denunciation of my
self by Mr. William II Mullen, a printer
of this city The relations between my.
self and Mr. Mullen are hardly such as to
warrant the expressions of familiarity
with which he has seen fit to embellish
his denial Of my statement on oath If
Mr.. Mullen came up to my estimate of
gentleman, or if he had any visible prop
erty, ! should notice him in another way.
lnasmuch, however, as the circumstances
are different, care nothing for the value
of his statements, either verbally or in
print.
Mr.. Mullen's whole article is misrepre-
sentation of the facts, and am perfectly
willing to rest the matter on the question
of veracity between Mr. Mullen and my
self with the community in which we
reside
In reference to my mental condition, to-
which Mr.. Mullen alludes, am amused,
as, to put it mildly, it bears falsity on its
face; for the Southern C4intc, issued
monthly for the past nine years and
edited solely by myself, and great deal of
it set up by Mr. Mullen in type, would
indicate that my mind was sufficiently
clear to furnish literary production
subscribed to and supported by the most
accomplished alienists and scientific
members Of one of the learned pro-
fessions. But, of course, it would be ex-
pected that a great deal of scientific
matter handed to common workman
would appear as the effusions of a luna
tic, because to those of contracted in
tellect many things appear mysterious.
If we were disposed to argue this ques-
ton, we could prove that Mr.. Mullens
"best friend" Mr. Robert Whittet, to
whom he alludes had from our lips the
substance of our affidavit two years ago.
Mr.. Mullen had an opportunity then to
deny these things, or else his " best friend"
knew that Mr.. Mullen was being slandered
and failed to repel the same. To be abused
by such men as Mr. Mullen ct ID 0mne
genus is rather more complimentary than
otherwise. c. A. BRYCE, NJ d..

that the powers would find a way to re-

that they hoped to restore the legal con-
stitution to the Bulgarians soon, making
allow ance for the lawful aspirations of

Returns from California indicate that
the Democrats have the Legislature. If
this is so, George Hearst will be the next
United States Senator.
The Democrats have elected the Gov
ernor in Colorado and the Legislature is
Republican.
The West Virginia Legislature is Dem
ocratic by nine on joint ballot.
The Legislatures Of Indiana and New
Jersey appear to be Democratic.
If California, Indiana and New Jersey
elect Democrats to the Senate, that body
will stand after March 4th, 1887, Demo
Gratis, 81 Republicans, 81; with Van
Wyck and Riddleberger unaccounted for
Van Wyck has carried the Legislature of
Nebraska in spite of the opposition of
leading Republicans, aud is an Indepen-
dent Riddleberger's course in the last
Congress is well known. Both Of these
Senators are very friendly to the Admin
istration, and cannot be counted on by
the Republicans to sustain them in all
measures. SO there is some hope that the
Democrats will control both houses of
the next Congress.

New York stock Market.
REVIEW.


NEW YORK, November 6.-Instead of being
sellers, as of late foreign houses were buyers
of stocks this morning to moderate extent,
and prices generally were firm, and inclined
to advance The chief feature was an ex-
cited market in Richmond Terminal stock,
the rest of the market Bank statements
showed a loss in the reserve, but this had no
effect worthy of notice, and, in fact, the best
buying of the day set in shortly after its
publication. The strength Of ST. Paul, and
also of the Vanderbilt stocks, has been very
remarkable and unless we are much mis-
taken there are strong signs of higher prices.
Traders sold the market off late in the day,
but it quickly recovered and closed generally
steady Money, 6 per cent.
