NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

The Anglo-African Magazine is the title of a
new candidate for public favor the first january
number of which lies before 1t is published
in the interest of that class of our feow-citizens
who are disfranchised by the Dred Scott decision,
and its contents, in their generality, speak very
significantly of the injustice done them by the
opinions of some of the Judges of the Supreme
Court
We hail the appearance of this Magazine as step
in the right direction, and trust that it will not be
suffered to lack for the want Of sgpport.-Eran-
gelist Nee York;
Among the various publications recently
announced, we are glad TO learn of the establish
ment of a magazine conducted entirely by colored
persons and devoted TO the social, moral and po-
fitical advancement of their brethren Irdepead-
dent Neac York;
The Magazine Is one of great ability. interest
and taste, and viii bear comparison with those
of much greater pretensions. We sincerely hope
the friends of the colored people will patronize
this work and help them in this honorable effort
to put themselves in a position which they de-
serve, and which their enemies would fain prevent
them from attaining Blake or the Huts of

quite under the drinkers ear, and caused
him on sudden to eject the contents of
his mouth over the pedagogue's bald pate.

dripping, the master shouted

Jim, appalled, at the mischief he had
done, muttered that it was not MS fault
that Tom Owen snapped him.
This changed the direction of old Lamb

"Did you snap Gun 7"

FORTY YEARS IN SLAVERY.

T,
Being the personal recollections of Peter Still
and his wife Vina, after forty
years in Slavery.
BY MRS. KATE E. r. PICKARD,
With an introduction by Rev. Samuel J. MAY, and
Biographical Sketch of Seth Concklin.
by William FL Furness, D. D.
/ vol, illustrations, 408 PIP. limo Price 81,
postage paid.
Peter Still was kidnapped in early childhood
from the doorstep of his home in New Jersey
For more than forty Years he was slave in Ken
tucky and Alabama. AT last he purchased his
freedom by the slow accumulation of extra labor
and returning to the region of his birth, found his
yet surviving mother and his numerous brothers
| and sisters, living in and near Philadelphia His
wife and three children, under the potage of Seth
| Concklin, attempted to escape, but were recap
tured at Vincennes Indiana. Peter Immediately
set about collecting the means for their purchase.
The sum demanded for them was exorbitant-
| S5,O0O-and would have discouraged almost any
other man than Peter Still. Yet the strong social
feeling and the energy of his race We're strikingly
manifest In his untiring perseverance, which was
crowned with success, and Peter had the unspeak-
able pleasure of bringing his household to a free
home, where they can quietly enjoy their own
firesde, free from the masters frown and the dri-
ver's lash.
The writer of this narrative was q highly es-
teemed teacher in the Female Seminary at Tus-
eumbia, Alabama, who had every opportunity to
acquire personal knowledge of all the prominent
facts and circumstances which she has narrated
We can promise the lovers of exciting adventure
very much in this volume to crafty their taste,
and all those who really desire to fathom the
heights and depths of that iniquity which is
threatening the destruction of our Republic, may
turn to it in the assurance that they win find in #
much valuable information, given with the strict
est regard to truth

beginning to end, and | have met no recent pub
lication that has seemed to me so truthful, Just
and benevolent, and so likely to touch the hearts
and conscienees of men in regard to the practice
of slavery. Accept my thanks for it, with my
best wishes less for the sake of the author or for
your own than for the sake of our country and OF
humanity, that the book may obtain free and
wide circulation I am, de-, DC.
