The Eclectic.

The April issue of the Eclectic Magazine
lies before US. We need hardly say it appeals
strongly to the tastes Of thinking and culti-
vated readers. This number even surpasses
in the variety and interest of its contents
the general average of the magazine. Prof.
Huxley's opening paper on ''The Struggle
for Existanoe" is a brilliant application Of
the evolutionary theory, but with all the
literary art of this great scientific authority.
'lslam and Christianity in India, by one
or the greatest minds Of the time, reviews
with extra ordinary keenness the conditions
which have made Mohammed such potent
rival to Oriental missionary work. II. d.
Traill contributes most suggestive article
in "The Evolution of Humor," which can
be read more than once with benefit. G
Monod writes about Contemporary Life
and Thought in France" with much fresh
ness and knowledge of in facts. An article,
which will be read with no little interest, is
entitled 1.-THE Ascent of Mind" by Herbert
JUnius Hardwicks, NJ. D. A clever writer
discusses "The Higher Education of
Woman" with keen appreciation of both
the pros aud cons of the problem. Frances
Power Cobbe discusses "The Education of
the Emotions with the ability which always
marks his work. An interesting paper on
subject of great international interest, by
G. r. Lowell, is entitled English and
American Federalism" In the "Remin:-
SCIENCES OF Cardinal Richelieu," we have
very readable contribution to French his
tory. The concluding paper on Caesar Bor-
gia is published, and other contributions of
interest are Robespierre's Love-" "Chevali-
or Bayard," ga Night in the Jungle" and
"Humors of Metaphysics"

Money to he Made,

1t is said that dull times are not known
by the agents for the geeat publishing house
of George Stinson & Co., of Portland Maine.
The reason Of this unexceptional success is
found in the fact that they always give the
public that which is keenly appreciated and
at prices that all can afford. At present we
understand, their agents are doing wonder
fully well on several new lines. They need
many more agents in all parts Of the country
Those who need profitable work should ap-
ply at once, Women will do as well as men.
Experience is not necessary, for Messrs.
Stinson s. Co undertake to show all who are
willing to work, not hard bat earnestly, the
path to large success. H. should be remem-
beIed that an agent can do handsome bust
ness Withhold being away from home over
night. Another advantage-it costs nothing
to give the business trial, and an agent
cad devote all his TINA, or only his spare
moments to it. Stinsou s. Co. guarantee
grand success to all who engage aud follow
simple and plain directions that they give.
We have not space to explain all hero, but
full particulars will be tent free to those
who address the firm; their full address is

A:Colorado Colony.

1t is proposed to organize a colony of so
ber and industrious young men and men
lands in southern Colorado, for the purpose
of building town, planting vineyards and
orchards and establishing contented and
prosperous community.
All who desire to join with this object in
view are invited to send their names and
residence to either of the undersigned,
stating number in family, amount of means,
profession, or trade; to the end that we may
enlist all the elements necessary for the sue
cess of the enterprise.
The lands we propose to settle upon are
fertile in the extreme, with climate suited
to the growth of all kinds of vegetables and
cereals, also all small and standard fruits,
including the nectarine, apricot and peach.
There will be an abundance of water for ir-
rigation, thus inBuring successful soil cul-
ture.
A town will be laid out with lots for bus
iness and residence purposes, these last in
creasing N size as they recede from the bus
mess center, upon the plan adopted by the
Greedy Colony. Wide streets will be made
special feature of the town and suitable
reservations will be made for churches,
schools, public buildings and parks.
No saloons will be allowed within the
town limits or on the adjoining lands.
Temperance is the basis of contentment,
happiness, prosperity, the sure safeguard of
virtue and the shield of the weak. A strict
prehibitory clause will be inserted in the
deeds to lots and lands in order to secure
these desired ends.
Those with some means are enlisted in
this work, as the first year of colony life is
of necessity one in which the work of estab-
fishing the home and preparing garden, or
chard and farm lands must be done and but
little in the way of crops, save for home sub
sistence, can be counted upon.
A membership of five dollars is required,
which is to be used for the incidental ex-
penses OF organization, location of lands
etc., which will be fully accounted for to
the colony officers. AS soon as sufficient
number of members is secured, active steps
will be taken to COMPLETE the organization.
1t may not be out of place to state here
that the Colorado gentleman whose name is
appended to this call and who has agreed to
join this enterprise, YVES connected with the
settlement of the now prosperous towns Of
Greeley, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs,
and has had an experience of seventeen
years in the building of towns, irrigatiug
auals aud the development Of agriculture
and fruit growing In Colorado.
It is desirable.t that settlement in the new
town be made as early as possible. Write
US at once of your intention concerning this
promising enterprise.
