— The Magazine of American History opens its twenty-seventh 

 volume with the New Year. The leading paper, by Hon. Arthur 

 Harvey, the president of the Canadian Insr.itute, is the first part 

 of "A Critical and Common-sense View of the Enterprise of 

 Christopher Columbus," illustrated. "The Secret Societies of 

 Princeton University,'' by Thomas Hotchkiss, Jun., illustrates the 

 old and new Whig Halls at Princeton. " A Short lived American 

 State," is a contribution from the Louisiana historian, Henry E. 

 Chambers. The question, " Was America Discovered by the 

 Chinese?" is discussed by Rev. Dr. Glover. Those who look for 

 the editor's contribution will find it in an account of " Prince 

 Henry the Navigator," the first to conceive the hold project of 



opening a road through the unexplored ocean, who indeed was the 

 originator of the impulse which sent Columbus subsequently la 

 our shores. " The Scot in America," by Hon. R. S. Robertson, 

 turns the light upon a most interesting race among the founders 

 of America. "A Sketch of John Badollett, 1758-1837," one of 

 Indiana's strong characters in early times, is by President Bryan 

 of Vincennes University. " Letters on Government Making, by 

 Patrick Hew.V and John Adams, in 1776;" some things about 

 " Collis P. Huntington," by Hubert Howe Bancroft; "Canada 

 from a European Point of View in 1761 ; " and other short contri- 

 butions complete the number.

 pupils. It has been selected from the everyday blackboai-d work 

 used in the Syracuse schools. It deals with numbers progressively 

 from ten up into the thousands, using easy fractions and Arabic 

 numerals throughout.

A most excellent and agree- 

 able tonic and appetizer. It 

 nourishes and invigorates the 

 tired brain and body, imparts re- 

 newed energy and vitality, and 

 enlivens the functions. 



Dr. Ephraim Bateman, Cedarville, N. J., 

 says: 



' ' I have used it for several yeai's, not only 

 in my practice, but in my own individual 

 case, and consider it under all circumstances 

 one of the best nerve tonics that we possess. 

 For mental exhaustion or overwork it gives 

 renewed strength and vigor to the entire 

 system . ' '
