EDITORIAL NOTES. 



The tone of the International- is fresh and 

 wholesome, and its choice of articles is char- 

 acterized bv a discriminating liberality and 

 ■cosmopolitanism, making it strictly what it 

 purports to be, a review of the international 

 sentiment of the age in literature, science, pol- 

 itics and religion. 



Hakper's New Monthly Magazine, for 

 March, 1878. Harper & Brothers, New York. 

 $4.00 per annum : single numbers, 35 cents. 

 This, the most popular of all flie illustrated 

 monthlies, although in its fifty-sixth volume, 

 still adhers to its original title of Harper's 

 ^■'ew Monthly, which is in truth most appro- 

 priate, for each number is a "new thing" and 

 more attractive, if possible, than the one be- 

 fore it. Being one of the first of American 

 magazines to adopt the illustrated style, it has 

 kept it up ever since with increasing excellence, 

 until now the engravings, both in the Monthly 

 and tbe Weekly, are works of art worthy of 

 preservation for their art'stic merit aside from 

 the value of the letter-press which they illus- 

 trate. 



It is quite unnecessary to go into any ex- 

 tended notice of this periodical, as it is known 

 in every corner of the United States, and is 

 found in the cabin of the Colorado miner and 

 of the Kansas ranch-man as universally as in 

 the parlors of Eastern capitalists and literati; 

 but to those who have not decided to renew 

 .their subscriptions for this year, we will say 

 that its scientific articles are as ably written 

 and illustrated, its historical, geographical and 

 literary articles as attractive, its editorial notes 

 as fresh and sparkling, its scieneific record as 

 full and complet e and its Drawer as irresist- 

 ably "funny" as ever, and that no magaz'ne in 

 the country excels it for family reading 

 adapted to all classes, old and young, wise and 

 simple. 



The Literary World. Published monihly 

 by E. H. Hames & Co., Boston. $1 50 per an-

 S. This periodical, like the Library Table, of 

 New York, is devoted to descriptive notices and 

 critical reviews of new publications, and a 

 general review of literary matters of all kinds. 

 It is admirably edited, and ,is regarded by all 

 librarians as a most useful aid to them in pur- 

 chasing books. 



The Young Scientist. Vol. 1, No. 1. Pub- 

 lished monthly by the Industrial Publication 

 Company, N. Y, 50c per annum ; 6c for single 

 numbers. This is a successor to the Technolo- 

 gist, and judging from the first number, which 

 is made up of articles upon useful and popular 

 subjects, it will be a valuable work for students 

 and young scientist.>=, for whom it is especially 

 intended, as its title indicates. 



The American Bookseller. Vol. 5, No. 3.

A VERY rare and interesting fish, some- 

 what resembling the Lepidosiren annectens, was 

 oaught in the Kansas Kiver recently. Unfor- 

 tunately it was allowed to spoi', and was thrown 

 away before its peculiarities were called to the 

 attention of any one interested in such matters. 



The Leavenworth Times advocates the 

 selection of Fort Leavenworth reservation as 

 the site for the new National Observatory. 

 We know of no better location in the country, 

 and hope that the choice may fall upon that 

 beautiful and most eligible spot.
