The OLD AND ~Hs NEw.-The No
vember number = Petefson's Mega
zine is admirable In point OF illnstTa.
tions, contents, and general appears
ance. sCharlOtte Corday." by Vir.
ginia 6. Sully, is a most interesting
record, and is beautifully illustrated.
"a Mountain Passion Flower" by Ella
lIigginsOn, is an intensely dramatic
story, and the accompanying pictures
are very effective. Among the other
| illustrated articles are Preserved in
Pictures, by Harriet Latham. and
about Pincushians, by Mrs. Saward,
| the latter giving numerous novel de-
| signs that would make lovely Christ
mas presents. "A Country Parlor, >"
by Dorothy Hasbrouk. is full of cap
ital suggestions, as is San Afternoon
Tea by Sarah Athefton. Breaking
His Peters," by Frank II. Sweet, is
an exceptionally good story, but in
deed both stories and poems are all
above the average magazine standard.
The most noticeable feature of the
month is, however. the statement that
with this number peterson" will
close its record as fashion periodical,
after having stood at the head of such
publications for over fifty years. A
fresh management takes control, aud
the future magazine will be devoted
solely to literature and art, under the
title of 1.-THE New Peterson For
several years past, the Magazine has
been rapidly progressing toward this
evolution, and the time has come for
the change. as we all feel that y CON-
bination of literature aud fashion is
no longer desirable.
The editorial staff embraces Frank
Lee Benedict, editor; with Miss NJ. G..
McCle Hand, Octave rhanet, and How
ard Seely, associates. Names that will
prove a guaranty for its excellence;
while the low subscription rate of
$500 per year will appeal to the COM
mon sense OF the reading public. Our
readers should send FIVE cents and pro-
cure sample number. Address, The
New Peterson Magazine, 1l2-ll4 So.

There is no better medicine for
family use than Ayers Cathartic
Pills. Their sugar coating makes
them easy and even agreeable to take,
and as they contain no calomel or
other injurious drug, they are per-
fectly safe for patients of any age.
ED. JOURNAL am told that Mr..
Buchanan, candidate for Congress,
claims when in parts of the district
remote from here, that he will get a
very large majority Il have heard that
he has put it as high as 2,0O0) in tins
county. l ilatter myself that my old
neighbo in Pierce county will credit
me with being conservative and can
did in such matters, land hence ven
ture to say to Mr. augen's friends there
that if MIR. Buchanan makes any such
claim he is either uncandid or his
head is turned; and that Mr.. Hdugel
is certain to carry Douglas county.
Old Jesse Il. Thayer is chairman of
the Republican county committee, and
is making fight here las is fight. y
Before sitting down to write this to
verify my own judgment | saw Prof.
Thayer, and asked him what "a safe
and temperate estimate of Haugen's
majority here would be, and he gave
mo a ngure CHAT seems to me extrava-
giant, and l dislike to publish it. Suf-
flee it to say that it was large.
The last time | met Mr.. Haugen
told him of some of Mr.. Buchanan's
statements, personal and political, and
told him | thought he would best give
him little attention in his speeches,
but Mr.. Haugen with his usual sense
and self-respect replied that he
thought it undignified to do SO.
