Tbe Ladles of tbe White House, or In tbe Home ol
the Presidents; Being a complete History of tbe So
cial and Domestic Lives of the Presidents from
Wasblngton to the present time. By Lsura C. Hol
loway. Philadelphia: Bradley ACompany, 86 North
4th St. Cloth back and gold stamp. Pp. 738, octavos
(MO.
In this prodigious book that is the result
of great labor in collecting material, besides
the careful literary work that is manifested
throughout its many pages, is supplied a
place in our domestic history long vacant.
Beginning with Martha Washington, Mrs.
Holloway gives sketches and pen portraits of
all the women who have been residents of
tbe White House, closing with Mrs. Garfield,
The work is spiced with gossip and descrip
tions of society life under the different ad
ministrations that go to make it one of the
most entertaining books—as well as a valu
able one for reference—of the season. With
a fine picture of Rachel Jackson is furnished
a vivid picture other life, full of beauty and
pathos, and of President Jackson’s devotion
to his noble wife all the years they lived to
gether. The portrait and sketch of Mrs.
Hayes is good, as is also that of Harriet Lane
Johnson. The touching story of Mrs. Gar
field’s six month’s stay in the White House
is full of dramatic featuresand is artistically
and feelingly told. These are but a few of
theexcellent points of areally charming and
worthy book, written by a lady who resem
bles, in some mental and physical respects,
the much-beloved Charlotte Bronte. Women
every where should post themselves upon the
manners and proceedings of those named in
the title of the book, for the whirligig of
time turns rapidly, and who can tell to
whom the proud distinction of “ First lady
of the country” will fall next.
The New York Weekly World is unquestion
ably one of the best family papers published
in New York city. If contains, besides all
the news of the country carefully condensed,'
an interesting account of all notable foreign
events. It has a reliable farm and home de
partment, besides book notices, fashion, art
and the latest society notes. In addition to
this it has room to discuss political subjects
from an unwavering Democratic standpoint,
and the moving topic: of the day with truth
and wisdom. It also has a page devoted to poe
try, light literature and stories for children.

Tbe American Agriculturist iu the
South.
We direct attention to the advertisement
elsewhere, of the American Agriculturist,
which proposes to devote much attention
during 1883 to the development of Southern
agriculture and Southern industries. Prior
to the war this recognized leading Agricul
tural Journal had a very large circulation
through the Southern States. We learn
from the publishers that they now propose
to make Southern agriculture a feature in
the paper in the future. Send a stamp for
the December number, which will give our
readers some idea of the character of this
journal, if they are not already familiar
with.it. Nearly* one hundred columns of
original matter and from fifty to eighty illus
trations .and engravings are presented in
every issue. Notwithstanding this great
amount of original matter, the American
Agriculturist is supplied at the low rate of
$1.60 a year.
Appreciative Words.
Thk Soutubbn World, a bi-monthly fam
ily and agricultural journal, started in At
lanta about a year ago, has proved to be a
great succeess. It has contributors in every
part of the country, and it deals almost ex
clusively with topics which are engaging the
attention of the southern people. The ex
perience of its editor, Mr. W. G. Whldby, in
daily journalism, gives him a great advan
tage in the selection of topics of general pub
lic interest. He has demonstrated the fact
that journalistic enterprise is as necessary in
a bi-monthly as in a daily.—Atlanta Consti
tution.
Each number of the Southern World
shows an advance on its predecessor. The
agricultural articles are practical and
timely, the literary matter excellent and
fresh. Col. Whidby, its editor, caters to the
popular taste with that discrimination to be
expected from so experienced a newspaper
man. His own paragraphs are always pithy
and pointed.—Sunny South.
Colonel Whidby is making the Southern
World a most valuable and popular publi
cation.— Atlanta Evening Herald.
The Southern World, published twice a
month in Atlanta, Ga., is one of the best
periodicals we ever saw for the farmer, the
mechanic and professional men. Send one
Messrs. W. A. Boss & Co , of Belfast, had
an assortment ol Aerated Drinks, including
thatincreasingly-popular beverage, “Ginger
Ale,” the credit of inventing which is due
to their senior partner. This agreeable
sparkling preparation, which is a capital
winter drink, is now produced by many
makers, but in all the essentials of excellence
—Flavour—Aroma—Briskness and Bright
ness—the Ginger Ale of the Belfast firm is
hard to beat, and we may safely add, has not
so far been excelled.—Reprinted from “The
