THE KNIcKERDocKER-The last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely new and beautiful type IN all its de-
partments and in its rich and diversified contents
continues 10 vindicate its reputation as the most
agreeable and entertaining Magazine published in
the United States. When we first started the old
sNew Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded us
as Editor of the KNIcKERBocKER about a twelve
month: it has now reached an age greatly beyond
that of any American Monthly; fact which liter
ally speaks volumes in praise OF the manner in
which the work has been conducted. No number
of the K has been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear indubitabe evidence OF edi-
toral care and anxious thought, and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly, Of this country or Europe, 30 thorough
ly edited in the stricest sense of the term. .-Ne,o

sMArHEMATIcIANs tell US of certain curves called
asmptotes whose popularity is always to approach

never to intersect. The KNIcxERBooKER, which
has reached an age for Magazine much greater
than hundred years for man, and only to be at
tanned by q more marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
ally approached the highest possible point OF interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have excel
sor, for each number seems better than that which
went before. How is done our friend CLARK may
understandable it s q sealed mystery TO US. There
is no publication in the United States that has so at
tractve or popular feature the Editors table OF
