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.

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.
