sTHE KNIcKERBocKEn The last number d this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely new and beautiful type In all lis de-
partments; and in its rich and diversified contents
continues to vindicate its reputation as the most
agreeable and entertaining Magazine published In
the United States. When we first started the Old
New Yorker our friend CLARE had preceded US
as Editor Of the KNIcKERBocKER about twelve
month: it has reached an age greatly beyond
that of any American Monthly; . fact which liter
ally speaks volumes in praase OF the manner In
which the work has been conducted. No number
of the K has ever been issued under CLARK's super
vision that did not bear ndubtable evidence OF ed
torial care. and anxious thought and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly, Of this country or Europe, thorough

each other and yet, when infinitely extended,
never to intersect. The KNIcKERBooKER, which
has reached an age for Magazine much greater
than hundred years for a man, and only TO be at
tanned by a more marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
ally approached the highest possible point OF interest
and excellence and yet it seems TO have an eDeel-
sior for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may
understand-but it is sealed mystery to There
