TEtE sotrTEUStift world, December is, 1882. Bi Our Round Table, The December number of The Popular Science Monthly was full to running over with entertaining and instructive matter. The Drainage and Farm Journal of Indian* apolis, Ind., at $1 per annum is a cheap in vestment. It is eminently a practical peri odical. The Sunday Olobe of Pittsburg, Penn., is a sparkling, newsy and entertaining journal. Its illustrations in every issue are fresh, unique and taking. The Daily Olobe, at Springfield, Ohio, is one of our brightest and newsiest exchanges. In typographical excellence and editorial ability it seems to lack nothing. The Florida Intelligencer is a new monthly, published at Live Oak, Florida, W. L. Whit field, editor, at $1 per annum. It is devoted toihe interests of Florida, and is a meritori ous journal. * The Boston Journal of Chemistry and Pop ular Science Review, of Boston, Mass., enters upon its 17th volume next month. We wish it the most enlarged success. In its sphere it knows no superior. Mailt Journal of Health, E. H. Oibbes, M. D., editor, New York, is now in its 29th year. It is a standard publication, of recognized merit, and well worth the subscription price of $2 per annum. Mr. W. C. Morris, is now the business manager of the- Atlanta Post-Appeal. He.is a gentleman of tact and integrity. Miss Es telle Leyden is on the editorial staff. Her style is fascinating. The Railroad Record, of Atlanta, under the editorial management of A. L. Harris, is be coming .a popular favorite. He is a man of weight, literally and emphatically, and the Record is bound to “stick.” We trust that it will meet with success of the broad est guage. Ford’s Christian Repository of St. Louis, Mo., will soon reach its 33th year of publi cation. The Repository, is a review, a his toric memorial and home circle in one. The literary reputation of Dr. Ford and his wife, guarantee that the Repository will maintain its high character. The Texas Railway and Telephone is a hand some eight-page weekly, published at Bren- ham, Texas, devoted to agriculture, the sci ences, the arts'and the public schools, at $2 per annum. S. G. Spann, editor and pro prietor. It is gotten up with taste and edit ed with ability. Success to it. The Electrician is a valuable publication In its columns new discoveries and inven tions in electricity are described and illus trated in a way to interest not only the sci entific, but the general reader. It is pub lished by Williams & Co., 115, Nassau St., New York, at the low price of $1 per year. Amateur journals always incline to odd names. Atlanta now comes forward with one published twice a month, under the striking name of The Scorpion. Allen B. Hall and Marsene Johnson, editors and proprietors. The letter-box department is under the skilled and graceful hand of Mrs. M. L. Crossley. Though small in size, the Scorpion is well filled with entertaining mat ter, and unlike the natural scorpion, will have a fresh tale every week. Success to the boys. The complete poems of Paul H. Hayne, the poet of the South, have just been issued from the press of D. Lathrop & Co„ of Bos ton. It is published in several elegant styles of bindings, richly embellished with many choice engravings, making a volume of rare value. It is sold only by subscrip tion. Agents are desired in every city and town in the Southern states. Any one de siring to be of service to the poet, should send their subscription or application for an agency to the publishers. Constitutional Amendment Manual, for con stitutional prohibition,by Mrs. J. Ellen Fos ter ’ National Temperance Society and Publication House, 68, Reade St. New York, TheBubjectof prohibition is attracting at tention in many states. This Manual covers all the ground in advocacy of it. Mrs. Fos ter lives at Clinton, Iowa, and has the rep* utation of great ability, Seed-Time and Harvest for December is at hand. This sprightly little monthly is a wel come visitor and is especially valuable to farmers and gardeners to whom its advice is given in a practical, business-like way. The editor evidently knows what will please his subscribers, for he devotes but little space to telling how good his paper is, but fills it up with the juost interesting matter and allows his readers to do the praising. The Janu ary number will contain a Colored Plate which every farmer or gardener should have. Send a postal card for a specimen copy to “Seed-Time and Harvest," La Plume, Pa. The Modern Hager. A. Drama by Charles M. Clay. In 2 volumes. Oeo. W. Harlan, N. Y., 1882. This work is dedicated by its distinguished author to Dr. T. J. Richardson, of New Or leans, and to the memory of the late Dr. Demarquay, of Paris. The scenes are laid in the West and South. Ellin Land. Rhymes by Josephine Pollard. De signs by Walter Batterlee. Oeo. W. Harlan A Co., Beyond all question, this work is the choicest and most artistic colored book ever presented to the public. It contains 40 col ored pictures most of which are printed in ten colors. The rhymes are interesting and instructive. We predictan immense sale for it Christmas Rhymes and New Year's Chimes. By Mary D. Brine, author of “ My Boy and I; or the RoadtoSlumberland," Oeo. W. Harlan A Co., N. Y., 1881. It is safe to predict that no work of the season will be more popular than this one. The illustrations are very attractive and the stories as captivating and charming as any writer could make them. Its handsome style reflects credit upon the enterprisiug publishers. TIIE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. Earnest Evers, Westminster, S. 0.: “ Liv ing in the woods, I seldom find an occasion to see a newspaper, but several days ago I found an old copy of The Southern World in the road and was so pleased with it that I enclose you the subscription price for one year. ” A. D. Gramling, Mayersville, Miss, must have The Southern World. It is too welcome a visitor in my family to think of losing it ” R. M. White, Ovilla, Texas : “ I would not be without Tub Southern World for double the subscription price.” Thomas W. Conrad, Monticello, Fla.: “In the spring I saw some sample copies of The Southern World and subscribed for it A1 though only an amateur farmer, in every issue I see one or more articles that are worth as much or more than the year’s subscrip tion.” Hammett & Bunten, Cowpens, S. C.,: “ We cannot do without The Southern World on our desk and counter.” W. W. Godbee, Reidsville. Ga.,: “ I am well pleased with The Southern World. It has paid me many times more than the sub scription price.. Success to your paper, and put me down as a regular subscriber.” Rev. A. Means, D. D.,: “I do not know when my year’s subscription expires, but am so much pleased with the matter, style, and mechanical execution of your excellent bi-monthly that I wish to renew it." Sorghum Sugar. Within the past two years great improve ment has been made in the manner of treat ing and granulating the product of sorghum, The work now being done by the Rio Grande company in New Jersey is the most satisfac tory of any that has heretofore been attempt ed, and is destined to work a revolution in the sugar trade. This New Jersey company has this season worked about 250 acres of cane, 200 of which is raised on rented lands, and the remainder was grown by farmers, of whom the company bought it, paying from $2 to $2 50 per ton, The last load of cane was run on the 17th inst. j but, as there is yet quite a large amount of melado in the crystalizing room to be swung, and the molasses is all yet on hand, it will be some time before a balance sheet can be made out showing the entire results of this season’s work. But one lot of twelve and one-half acres of Orange cane was worked by itself, and an account of the en tire produot and expense kept, which, it is claimed, will fairly illustrate the whole work. The account stands as follows: product. 9,600 lbs of sugar at 8 cents $ 768.00 1,450 gallons molasses at 40 cents 680.00 THE CHAMPION OFFER! G-arden Seeds Free !
