FOR DECEMBER.

Mexico is so completely an unknown
land TO most people that it is well to have
a little insight into its history, Our
Neighboring Republic and its Presidents,
in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for
December, fully illustrated, gives con-
nected view and portraits of all who have
been at the head of the Mexican Republic
from the days of Hidalgo. The Silver
King, by A. s. Southworth, will come as
a revelation to some of our anglers and
sportsmen, who have lived in ignorance
of that monstrous Florida herring, the
Tarpon, and the sports that attends it
capture. How American Plate-glass is
Made describes an industry in which our
skill and energy have put on the market a
beautiful and perfect article. In The
Fairfaxes of Virginia we read of one of
the few titled families in the United States,
showing that real English baron of
famous pedigree is an American by birth
and feeling, Horace Townsend relate
very pleasantly, in Animals and their
Trainers. much that is interesting about
the way in which birds and animals are
brought to act as performers. Michel
Angelo, by w. w. Story, gives true
artists estimate of the great sculptor and
painter of Italy. Baldwin srecent descent
with parachute gives occasion TO some
illustrations and description of that
dangerous invention. In the line of fiction
:Irma, continued novel; The Woman
He Loved. by Ellen E. Rexford: Joycelyn
A Memorable Stage-ride,' by Mrs Emma
s. Allen; Grace; The Romance of Rug
and The House Opposite are all very
clever and will interest each class OF
readers. The young folks will be de-
lighted with the continuation of 'Daisy's
Dilemmas' Frank LeslIe's Popular
Monthly, in excellence and extent oi
matter and illustrations Is unrivaled.

NY son, would have you ever brave
and bold, never timid and cowardly;
but when a gushing creature in the
bloom of youth and a fetching costume
gazes into your eyes. with dreamy
look in hers, and asks you if it is
really true that young gentlemen do
sit up half the night with the young
ladies to whom they are attentive. and
II there is any foundation for those
funny things the papers say about
turning down the gas, and all that sort
o. thing, you know, then, my son, is
the time for you to set your face away
ward from that young woman and go
thenceward with all the speed that you
have on hand.-Boston Transcript.

Upon tearing up floor in store
on Walnut street, this week, it was
found to be in a rotten condition, and
the stencil from the ground exposed to
the air was sickening, and penetrated
the whole neighborhood. The floor
had not been down more than two
years, and yet pent up beneath 1t was
foulness sufficient to poison an entire
community. This should be hint as
to what seeds of pestilence we may be
nursing under our present system of
plank sidewalks. The same fntid and
poisonous exhalations thrown off from
this room when the floor was raised,
are being sent out daily and hourly
from the sidewalks. We are accus-
toned to and do not notice this efllu-
via, but it is doing its deathly work
all the same. Now, as we are impro-
wing in everything else, il is about
time to make change in this very i'm
portant feature. The plank sidewalks
should be abandoned as soon as pos
slble, and all new sidewalks be requi-
red to be of brick, concrete, gravel,
or some material other than plank.
These may be little more expensive
at the start; but when decay and ne
cessity for repairs of wooden walks
are considered, are really cheaper, to
say nothing of the menace to health
IRON our present system of close
plank sidewalks.

Nothing more distinctly exhibits the
value to a county of faithful admin
istration of judicial authority than the
records of a criminal court. The Cir
cult Court of this county is fair index
of its moral and law-abiding standing.
Heretofore its criminal docket has aver
aged one hundred cases or more at each
term. For the May term. we are inform
ed by Circuit Clerk Marshall, there are
not over twenty cases docketed. This is
the highest tribute that could be paid
to Judge Wynn. If his presence in the
district has so diminished crime in our
county, we may infer that his residence
