Our First Number of the new Volume 

 should have appeared on they? rst day of the 

 month, but a mistake in the engraving of our 

 title-page, requiring the work to be re-engraved, 

 has caused the delay. We trust, in future, to 

 be "on time." 



Flora Columbiana. — This Catalogue of 

 the plants growing wild in the District of Col- 

 ombia, now appearing in Field and Forest, 

 and of which an extended notice was given in 

 our last number, when completed, will be pub- 

 lished in pamphlet form. 



Members of the Potomac-side Naturalists' 

 Club, and others desiring copies, are invited 

 to send in their subscriptions early, stating the 

 number of copies wanted, as only a limited 

 edition will be published. 



Price, 15 cents per copy. Members of the 

 Club ordering eight or more copies can have 

 them furnished eight for $1. Address Colum- 

 bia Press, or Editor F. and F., P. O. Box 273. 



Treasure Trove. — A Magazine of Enter- 

 taining and Select Literature published at 137 

 Eighth St., New York City, by R. B, Caverly. 

 The initial number of Volume One is before 

 us. Mrs. Wood, author of "East Lynne," gives 

 the first chapters of a new serial story in this 

 number, which also contains the "Secret of the 

 Stair," "Roserl," "Entrapped," "Oldboy's 

 Nearest Relative." and other entertaining sto- 

 ries and select reading matter. $3. per year, 

 single cepies 30 cents. 



Centennial Music. — F. W. Helmick, Mu- 

 sic Publisher, 278 W. 6th Street, Cincinnati, 

 sends us "That Banner a Hundred Years Old." 

 Words by B. Devere, music by Eddie Fox; 

 title-page embellished with a patriotic design 

 in colors. Price 50 cents. A number of card 

 photographs of the principal Centennial Build- 

 ings are presented to each purchaser of the 



Mind, Matter, Money, Beauty. — Web- 

 ster's Quarto Dictionary, as now published, 

 has cost more intellectual labor, more money 

 in its "getting up," and contains more matter, 

 and a larger number of beautiful engravings, 

 (3000 or more, with four pages of. colored 

 plates,) than any single volume ever before 

 published for popular use in this or any other 

 country. Bell & Daldy, the publishers of' 

 Bohn's libraries, are the London publishers of 

 this magnificent volume. 



A Fine Instrument. — With the • market 

 flooded with pianos of every conceivable make 

 style and price, it is not an easy task for those 

 in want of a good instrument, at a reasonable 

 cost, to make a selection. The U. S. Piano 

 Co., are manufacturing a really first-class in- 

 strument that is steadily increasing in popular 

 favor, and as they have adopted the plan 

 of employing no agents, and paying no com- 

 missions, they are enabled to furnish their in- 

 struments at a comparatively low figure. 



Cheap Illustrations. — We call the atten- 

 tion of those desiring outline or diagram 

 illustrations to the cut on our third page, 

 which is done by Joyce's Patent process of 

 engraving, taking very little time, and costing 

 about one half the usual rates for wood engrav- 

 ing; the cut is hardly a specimen of the work 

 as it is merely an outline, but will give an idea 

 of what can be done.
