Our excellent and esteemed contemporary
the Democratic Advocate marks its entrance
upon the twenty fifth volume by the taking
and publishing Of a census Of the Cities of
the Dead in Carroll County. 1t is not only
an invaluable compilation of mortuary
statistics, but evidences the ample and broad
view of the duties of u Journalist held by the
editors ofthis intrinsically good county news
paper.

ANswERED.-We were more than surpris'
ed at the tone of al article that appeared In
the Westminster Advocdte two weeks ago
concerning the mails. In its last issue it
published Gen. j. NJ. Hoods rcjoinder and
we consider it to be n complete and really
brilliant victory for the President of the W.
NJ. II. X. The articles in the Advocate have
been written with the care and esprit pecul-
lar to that journal and that man at Hillen
Station is especially happy and pungent when
he rclaxcs from formal official cares and re-
creates, pen in hand.
1t was most interesting skirmisl as the
issue was kept very clear both parties may
be said to have burned the smokeless pow.
der but Mr.. Hoods was nondetonating,
seems to have had greater penetration and
was fortunate enough to find weaker places
in the armor.
The modern magazine may be taken as
cmbodying :he best literature OF the world,
as the magazine editor pays the highest
prices to novcists, scientists, statcmcn, SOL
dicrs, and even kings and princes, tor the
best they can furnish in the literary line.
The well edited magazine becomes an cduca-
ting influence IN the family circle, whose
importance cannot be over. estimated. The
children, as they grow up, are attracted by
its illustrations, and so come in time to have
taste for reading. There is always some.
thing new, something that is strange, some
thing that is interesting; and we consider
that we are doing our readers positive
benefit if we arc instrumental ia placing
such publication within their reach, The
special arrangement which we haye made
with the. Cosmopolitan presents very unusual
Inducements. That magazine. although only
in the tenth month under its new manage
mcnt, is already recognized rs one Of the
most interesting publications OF the day. 1t
is seeking subscribers everywhere and OBJ
tanning them. The proprietors believe that
the Cosmopo Titan has only to be examined to
secure a permanent subscriber. That is why
we are enabled to make, if the offer is accept
cd before January next, such very low

combination means! You obtain your own
