THE LIBRARY EDITION OF THE
BROTHER JONATHAN:
OUARTO.

On the first day of January, 1912, commences the
publication of Quarto Library Edition Of the Bro
interesting Current Literature which from week to
week has been presented in the pages of the folio pa
per, has brought from all directions expressions Of
regret that the matter is not printed in shape
venient for preservation.
To meet this reasonable objection ha we hitherto
published Tuesdays periodical in quarto form,
under the title of JondthanS Miscellany: and the sue
of that periodical has induced still further to
improve upon the original plan by the publication of
the Library Edition of Brother Jonathan, QUARTO
of thirtY-twO pages.
The Quarto Is printed on sheet larger than the
J resent folio form of the Jonathan. An engraved
Title Page, designed by of the first artists in the
country, will give each number idea Of complete
ness and taste. Engravings of rare merit, such as
have hitherto appeared in the folio form of the Bro
Their Jonathan, introduced into each number, and
the work forms THREE ANNUAL VOLUMES OF
544 PAGES EACH.
For each volume the price is dollar in advance,
and three for any year, handsomely illustrated by
the publishers, and bound according to the taste of
the subscribers, will form ornament for any library
combining the requisites of neatness, cOmpactness
and variety, not offered in any publication
tant The shape of the volumes, while it is quite
printed, has advantages in convenience for binding,
unapprOached by any newspaper publication IN the
world.
While thus put the matter in form for preser-
walton, shall earnestly strive to render the con-
worthy OF that preservation and to do away the
reprOach that to print article in newspaper, is to
make inscription on watermelon. The whole
energies of this establishment publishing, editorial
artiscal and mechanical, centered the Brother
Jonathan and the Dollar Magazine; and we are con-
dent that this improvement, like the original proec-
ton of the Jonathan, will mark in periodi-
cal literature.
| TERMs.-The Quarto Library Edition of the Bro
Their Jonathan will be published every Saturdays each
number to contain THIRTY-Two large pages. 1t is
divided into three volumes year. each volnme to
sst of 544 pages and to contain about forty elegant
Wood Engravings, and seventeen pieces of popular
and fashionable Music. Price one dollar volume,
four months, three dollars year, in advance. Six
volumes for five dollars.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
ESOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER

THIS is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly to
Literature, but occasionally finding room also for ar
tices that fall within the scope of Sciences and pro-
Tossing no isdain for tasteful selections, though its
matter has been as it will continue be, in the main
original.
PARTY Politics and controversial Theology Ear as
possible, are jealousy excluded. They some
times so blended with discussions III literature
moral science otherwise unOblectionable, to gain
admittance for the sake of the valuable matter
to which they adhere; but whenever that happens
they are INCIDENTAL only: not PRIMARY. They are
dross tolerated only because it cannot well be sever
ed from the sterling wherewith it IS incorporated
Reviews and critical Notices occupy their due
space in the work. and it is the Editors aim that they
should have threefold tenGencY-to convey, In a
condensed FORM such valuable truths or interesting
incidents as are embodied in the works reviewed.
direct the readers attention to books that deserve
to be read and to warn him against wasting time and
money upon that large number, which merit only 10
be burned In this age of publications that by their
variety and multitude distract and overwhelm every
undlscrmnating student, IMPARTIAL CRITICISM, gov
erned by the views just mentioned, is one OF the
most measurable and indispensable of auxlarles, 10
nm VINO does wish to discriminate.
Essays and Tales, having in view utility or amuse-
ment, or Doth-Historical Sketches-and Reminls-
cences OF events toe minute for History yet elucda-

ed as forming the staple of the work. And of indi
genous POETRY, enough is NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF
no mean strain-to manifest and cultivate the grow
ing poetical taste and talents of our country.
The times appear, for several reasons, to demand
such work-not one alone, but many. The public
mind is fevershed and rrated STILL from recent po-

litical strifes The soft, assuasive influence of Lit
erature is needed to allay that fever and soohe that
irritation. Vice and folly rioting abroad; they
should be driven by indiG rebuke, or dashed by
ridicule, into their Sting haunts. Ignorance lords
it over an immense proportion of our people Every
spring should be set In motion, to the enght
ened and to increase their numbers that the great
enemy of popular government may no longer brood,
like pertentOus cloud, over the destinies of our
country. And to accomplish all these ends what
more powerful can be employed than periodical, on
the plan OF the Messenger; if that plan be carried
out in practice?
The South peculiarly requires such an agent. In
all the Union, south of Washington, there are but
two Literary periodicals! Northward of that city,
there at least twenty five thirty Is this
trast justified by the wealth. the leisure the native
talent, the actual literary TASTE of the Southern
people, compared with those of the Northern! No;
for wealth talents and taste, may Justly claim at
least equality with our brethren; and domestic
institution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt a
fords u.s. if choose twice the leisure for reading
and writing, which they enjoy.
It was from deep sense of this LOCAL want, that
the word SOUTHERN engrafted on the name of
this periodical and not with any design to nourish
local predudices, to advocate supposed local inter-
ests. Far from any such thought it is the Editors
fervert wish to the North and South bound to-
gether forever, in the Sken bands of mutual kind
ness and affection. Far from meditating HOSTILITY
to the North, he has already drawn, and he hopes
hereafter to draw, much of his choicest matter hence
and happy indeed will he deem himself, should his
pages, by making each region know the other better,
contribute in any essential degree to dspe forever
the lowering cloods that so lately threatened the
peace of both, and to brighten and strengthen the
cred ties of fraternal love.
The Southern Literary Messenger has now nearly
completed its seventh volume, and seventh year How
far it has acted out the ideas here uttered is not for
the Editor to say. He believes however that it falls
not farther short of them, than human weakness usu
ally makes Practice fall short of Theory.

averaging sixtyfour pages each, at Five Dollars per
annum, payable invariably in advance.

QUARIO NEW WORLU.
PROSPECTUS OF FOURTH VOLUME.
Commencing January |, 1912.
EDITED BY PARK BENJAMIN.

TURING the two years which have elapsed
Il since "The New World" was begun, it
has been the effort of the Editor to render it
the most readable newspaper of the day. To
this end the proprietors have literally contri-
buted. Neither trouble nor expense has been
spared. The most popular books and period
icals have been purchased. The best contri-
butors have been engaged. A correspond
ence with the most interesting parts of the
world has been established. In short, the
best arrangements have been made TO publish
an independent literary journal, acceptable
to all classes of readers. The editor can
think of nothing which has been left undone
to enhance the value and to elevate the char.
acter of the New World.
Its success has been most encouraging. II
will commence the new year with circula-
ton of about TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND
COPIES, larger number, it is believed, than
is issued of any other weekly paper in Great
Britain or the United States. This success is
imputed chiefly TO two reasons: first, to its
having contained an Unprecedented number
of excellent articles by the most popular au-
thors; second, to its having assumed and OBJ
served an elevated and moral tone. Its col
umns are uncontaminated with party politics,
and its ample pages unsoied by profane and
improper ieers, vulgar illusions, or irreligious
sentiments; and therefore il finds its warmest
welcome by the domestic hearth, and recei ~es
its highest approval from that sex, whose
delicacy it has never offended, and whose
mental and social superiority il has labored to
indicate.
About TO enter upon new year, and to
commence another volume, we proceed to
mention few inducements for old friends to
continue with US, and for new friens 10 join
be made in the manner of editing and con-
Quoting the New World; but it will receive
in all its departments fresh accessions of abili
ty. Many able writers will grace our columns.
Permanent arrangements have been made to
secure the literary services of Donald Mcleod,
Francis ]. Grund, and Brantz Mayer, Esq's.
| Mr.. Mcleod, resident in London, will keep
our readers fully informed Of all events OF IN
terest that transpire in England, Scotland and
Ireland. Being in constant personal inter-
course with the best known authors, he will
obtain from them manuscripts, proof-sheets,
and early copies of the latest publications.
hus shall we be enabled, as we have hitherto
done, to give in the New World, their latest
works in adcance Of any other newspaper in
America.
Mr.. Grund, resident in Bremen, will, by a
regular and coplouS correspondence, advise
our readers of the social, literaray and reli-
gious condition of confidential Europe.

Marine Engines are not different in tht
present day. Captain Slockton's En-
gines are the best yet invented, and Eric,
sons propeller far superior to paddles.
The general rate Of Atlantic steamers
is miles per hour. Steamers running
shorter trips may use power TO 10 or II
knots.
LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEs.--The best one
has been made by Mr.. Norris, Of Phlla.
delphia. Their greatest speed in England
has been 30 miles an hour. Beyond this,
the resistance of tue air would make the
velocity too expensive. The number Of
tubes in the boiler is from 90to $50, each
IL inches in diameter, and made OF brass.
The eyaporating power Of some OF these
boilers is 300 cubic feet of water per hour,
and supplying power equal to that Of
200 horses.
WATER Spours are caused by cloud
highly charged with positive electricity,
approached near enough to the surface OF
water or land TO attract its negative cleo.
tricity, and thus violently raise either the
water, or substances on land, and even the
earih's surface itself.
The Aurora Boreals is electrical. The
rays are "ifon clouds" illuminated by
the electric light shooting between the
minute particles. They are parallel with
the dipping needle. Bion's theory would
be admirable if il could be proved that this
ferrugiuous matter exists in the clouds.
Last evening, Dir, Lardner stated tina,
some stars are SO distant that it would re.
quire 1000 years for their light TO reach
the earth, and, therefore, those seen for
1000 years may have been extinct so
long, and another 1000 years will elapse
before the fact will be discovered.
Ia conclusion, the Doctor expressed his
gratifed thanks, for the very patient at
tention with which he had been heard.
He was fearful they would be weary
but that he should never weary in giving
public instruction. He should leave Phil.

recollectons-{much applause.)
