Wednesday, November 3,1873.
A Eeal Magazine for Children.
“Sometimes, ’ says a sensible writer on
the subject of juvenile publications, “I
feel like rushing through the World with
two placards—one held aloft in my right
hand, Beware of Children’s Magazines!
the other flourished in my left, Children’s
Magazine Wanted!”
It was left for Messrs. Scribner & Q<
the popular publishers, to get up a mag
azine for children that would satisfy the
longings of the author we quote above.
We have before us the first number of St.
Nicholas, which is gotten up in unques
tioned taste, copiously and attractively
illustrated, and the reading matter admi
rably a lapted to the minds and tastes of
children. We find in its broad, well
printed pages poems by Wm. Cullen Bry
ant, Celia Thaxter, Lucy Larcomb, and
others. Among the literary authors we
find the names of some of the most tal
ented writers of the country. It is not
'every author, however popular, that has
the ability to suit the untutored mind of
youth, but in this repect the conductress
of St. Nicholas—Miss Mary MapesDodge
—has, through the corps of contributors
engaged, achieved a signal triumph. The
variety and the character of the contents
of the number before us exhibit sound
judgment and discriminating taste. If
the publishers keep up its standard cor
respondingly the success of St. Nicholas
is assured. Published monthly by Scrib
ner & Cos., 664 Broadway, New York, at
$3 per annum.
Any one who examines the November
Aldine will be surprised at the sumptu
ousness of its illustrations, as well as
the high literary merit of its poetry and
prose. Besides the two full-page origi
nal pictures, this number contains repro
ductions of three celebrated steel en
gravings, which alone would cost at the
picture shops no less than thirty dollars.
The Aldine pictures are every way as
fine as the steel engravings. The first
is a full-page view of Lake Molionk, in
Ulster County, New York, by Kruseman
Van Elter, of the National Academy.—
Homer Martin has a full-page picture of
“A White Mountain Brook.” “Home and
its Treasures,” after R. Carrick. “A
Chance-Meeting," and “The First Visit,”
after Rudaux, are two charming pictures
of the love-life of an artist. The; other
illustrations are “The Robber of the
Air,” a spirited conflict between birds,
by Eeiker ; “English Mastiffs,” a group
of three noble dogs, by Specht; “A
Masterpiece,” a scene full of humor
life ; a large view of the grand entrance
to the Ratisbon Cathedral; a very faith
ful and satisfactory portrait of the late
Charles Temple Dix, the artist son of
Governor John A. Dix, of New York, by
H. Balling, and a sweet little scene of
autumn, when “the ripened grain they
took from the wain.” We can say with
truth that no art magazine ever gave its
readers a dozen such superb illustra
tions in one number. The literary con
tents of the Aldine for November are of
superior quality and interest. The de
partment of music, art, and literature,
are filled with carefully written articles.
Subscription price $5 including ' Chro
mos “Village Belle” and “Crossing the
Moor.” James Sutton & Cos., publishers,
58 Maiden Lane, N. Y.
Wood’s Household Magazine for No
vember, is already upon our table, and
is as usual full of the choicest literature.
The Household Magazine, is as its name
implies indeed a household book, and
should be in every household. Some of
its leading articles for November, are “A
Sermon on a Skimmer Mrs. Pomeroy’s
Pin Money“ Codfish and Potatoes,”
and many other articles of interest. A
new feature of the magazine is the intro
duction of pictures, and the illustration:
“Past, Present and Future,” here given,
is exceedingly pretty. Price of maga
zine, $1 per year—with the chromo “Yos
xaite,” one dollar and a half. We wil
send the Gazette with the Household
Magazine one year for $2.50 —with chro
mo, $2,80,
The Young Folks’ Rural for Novem
ber, is replete with choice reading for
the little people. Parents, get it for
your children. We will send the Ga
zette and this model young folk’s paper
one year without the two chromos, for
$2.75, A copy of the paper can be seen
by calling at this office.

During the war, in 1863, Gen. Burn
side impressed in Kentucky about eight
thousand slaves to work on military
roads, &c. A portion of the owners—
all it is supposed who were loyal to the
United States—were compensated at
the time of impressment, and now the
remainder, or a larger number of them,
jure pressing their claims upon the Gov
eanment. It is estimated that they in
the aggregate amount to over two mil
lion dollars.
CURRENT NOTES.
John Taylor Grant, after serving in
Auburn five years as a forger, has been
found to be innocent of the crime and
discharged.
Mr. A. P. Surrency is offering his
place for sale. The purchaser will be
entitled to all ghosts and spiiits on the
premises—which of itself is a great in
ducement.
Chicago is utilizing her offal by turn
ing it into fertilizers. From the garb
age carts it is taken, and by the aid of a
new invention, and after being subject
to boiling and some other processes, it
is turned out a valuable manure.
Governor-elect William Allen, of Ohio,
is the uncle of Allen G. Thurman, who
will be re-elected to the United States
as a result of the late Democratic victory
in that State.
As the first step toward a return to
specie payment, the Treasury Depart
ment proposes to pay out silver instead
of greenbacks in all cases where silver is
desired.
The New York World says the result
of the recent elections is to prove beyond
a doubt that the Liberal Republican
party is a failure, and that “the oppo
sition party for the next four years will
be the Democratic party, and no other
party.”
Somebody inquiring at the Spring
field Postofiice for a letter for Mike
Howe received the gruff answer that
there was no letter there for anybody’s
cow.
It is a fixed fact that certain propen
sities rim in families, like red hair. A
man who was hanged in Ohio for min
der six years ago, left six sons, and eve
ry one of those children is now a medi
cal practitioner. It’s of no use trying
to suppress these strong hereditary in
stincts.
An Indiana woman threw a burglar
down stairs and broke his neck, under
the impression that it was her hus
band.
A correspondent of the St. Louis
Globe writes from Washington that ef
forts have been made to draw out An
dy Johnson in reference to the execu
tion of Mrs. Surratt, but he declines be
ing interviewed until he can have an of
ficial investigation.
Once a careless man went to the cellar
and stuck the candle in what he thought
was a keg of black sand. He sat near
it drinking wine until the candle burned
low. Nearer and nearer it got to the
black sand ; near and nearer, until the
blaze reached the black sand, and as it
was sand nothing happened.
The greatest herdsman in the world,
is the title claimed for Samuel W. Alleu,
of Texas, who owns 225,000 cattle. He
has one ranch eighty miles long and for
ty wide, between Nevada and Colorado
rivers, the largest on the continent,
which pastures 120,000. Two others re
spectively, 70,000 and 35,000. These
cattle subsist on native grasses of a part
of Texas. His herd require the atten
tion of at least four hundred herders
and branders and the use of 3,000 horses.
He brands 60,000 calves a year to keep
up the supply. The value of his stock,
exclusive af the land, exceed five million
and a half dollars. He is the chief meat
purveyor for New Orleans and all of
the neighboring counties on the Gulf
coast.
The remedy for curing croup in one
minute is simply alum. Take a knife or
grater and shave or grate off in small
particles about a teaspoonful of alum ;
mix it with about twice as much sugar,
to make it j>alatable, and administer as
quick as possible. Its effects will be
truly magical, as almost instantaneous
relief w T ill be afforded.
Glycerine is said to be a preserver o
leather. It is well known that leather
articles kept in stables, soon become
brittle in consequence of ammoniacal ex
halations, which affect both harness
hanging up in such localities and the
shoes of those who frequent them. The
usual applications of grease are not al
ways sufficient to meet this difficulty;
but it is by adding to them a small quan
tity of glycerine, the leather will be kept
c mtinually in a soft and pliable condi
tion.
A Portland man was caught fishing
for trout on another man's land the oth
er day; the owner remonstrated, but re
tired in silence before the majestic an
swer. “Who wants to catch any of your
trout ? I’m only trying to drown this
worm.”
The New Ox-leans papers are engaged
in an angry controversy as to whether
the euchre of a lone hand counts four
points for the lone hand’s opponent.
A MOTHER POISONS TWO OF HER SONS
BY MISTAKE.
The Savannah Advertiser says a most
distressing case of accidental poisoning
occurred in Bulloch county a day or two
ago, resulting in the death of two young
men—one a man of family, and the other
grown but not married. The particulars
as furnished by a citizen of Bulloch
county, are as follows:
A lady, Mrs. Carter Hughes, finding
her two sons, whose names our inform
ant was not acquainted with, quite sick,
administered to each of them what she
supposed to be a dose of cream of tartar.
At the time the dose was given the two
sons were at their mother’s house, al
though one of them, the married one, re
sided about a mile off. Soon after tak
ing the medicine the married man set
out for home, but died before he reached
it. The other son complained of feeling
badly soon after taking the supposed
dose of medicine, and continuing to grow
worse, a physician was sent for, but be
fore his arrival the young man was ei
ther dead or past recovery, our inform
ant does not know which. But he died
in a very short time after taking the
dose.
Blessed is the man that taketh his
county paper, when he payeth for the
same.
TO THE PUBLIC.
The Pain Killer manufactured by Perry Da
vis & Son has won for itself a reputation unsur
passed in medicinal preparations The universalr
ity of the demand for the Pain Killer is a novel,
interesting ami surprising feature in the history
of this medicine. The Pain Kilier is now regu
larly sold in large and 'teadily increasing quanti
ties, not only to general agents in every State
and Territory of th a Union, and every province
in British America, but to Buenos Ayres, Brazil,
Uruguay, Peru, Chili, and other South American
States, to the Sandwich Islands, to Cuba, and
other West India Islands, to England and Conti
nental Europe, to Mozambique, Ma agascar,
Zanzibar and other African Inn.is; to Australia,
and Calcutta, Rangoon, and other places in In
dia. It lias also been sent to China,and we doubt
it there is a foreign port or any inland city in
Africa or Asia, which is frequented by Ameri
can and European missionaries, travelers or tia
ders. into which the i'aiu Killer has not been
introduced.
The extent of its usefulness is another g eat fea
ture o this remarkable medicine. It is not only
the best thing ever known, as everybody will
comes.-.Cor Bruises, Ruts, Burns but for Dys
entery or Cholera, or any sort of bowel complaint
it is a r tnedy unsurpassed for efficiency, and
rapidity of action, in the great cities of Brnish
India and !he West India Islaius and other hot
climates, it has become the standard medicine
tor all such complaints, ns wel vs Dyspepsia,
liver complaint and other kindred di orders For
Coughs and Colds, < nker, Asthma, and Uheu
malic difficulties, it has been proved by the most
abundant and convincing trials and testimony,
to be an invaluable medicine. The proprietors
are in possession of letters from persons of the
highest character and responsibility testifying
in unequivocal terms to the cures effected and
the satisfactory results produced, in an endless
variety of cases by the use of this great medi
cine. That the Pain Killer is deserving of all
its proprietors claim for it is amply proved by
the unparalleled popularity it has attained. It
is a siue and effective remedy. It is sold in almost
every country in the wor.d,nnd is becomingmore
and more popular every year. Its healing prop
erties have been fully tested all over the world,
and it need only to be known to be prized.

That at the same time Purges, Purifies and
Strengthens the System.
Dr. Tutt’ Piiis are composed of many ingre
dients. Prominent among them are sarsaparilla
aud Wild Cherry, so united as to act together;
the one through its admixture with other sub
stance, purifying and purging, while the other
is strengthening the system. Thus these Pills
are at the same time a tonic and a cathartic,
a desideratum long sought for by medical men,
but never before discovered. In uther words they
do (he work of two medicines and do i* much
better than any two we know of, for they remove
nothing trom the system hut impurities, so that
while they purge they also strengthen and lienee
cause no debility and are followed by no reaction
Dr. Tutt’s Pills have a wonderful influence on
the blood. They not only- purify without weak
ening it, but they remove ail noxious particles
from the chyle beioie it is converted into fluid,
and thus maKes impure blood an utter impossi
bility. As there is no debilitation, so there is no
nausea or sickness attending the ope
ration of this most excellent, medicine, which
never strains or tortures the digestive organs,
b t causes them to work in a perfectly natural
manner; hence persons taking them do not be
come pale and emaciated, but on the contrary,
while all impurities are being removed, tlie
combined action of the .Sarsaparilla and Wild
Cherry puiifies and invigorates the body, and a
robust state of health is the result of their
united action.
