ADVERTISEMENTS.

Smith, it need not be said that his essay is a
learned and mastery one. But we will say this
and more, for it is an original and brilliant pro-
ducton-one which would gladly see in the
hands of all the political and chronological malign
ers of the colored races of men. Martin R. Della
n.y. it will be seen has chosen lofty subject. He
has given peculiar theory ascribing to electricity
the Office of keeping the heavenly bodies in order,
which other very able men have ascribed to the
law of gravitation. Mr.. Delany dismisses all our
fears that this firm old earth of ours is to be
smashed up one of these coming days by COLI
sion with any other body In space. We shall re-
fer again to this new magazine, and meanwhile wish
MIR. Thomas Hamilton, its enterPrizing publisher,
every success in this praiseworthy effort to pro-
mote literature and learning among our people

EDITOR OF TRIBUNE Il have Just received from
the office of the Anglo-Afrtc Magazine, pub
lshed in New York, three numbers, and, as trib-
ute to both enterprise and merit, desire to say
| few words on the subject.
| While there is spirit that would crush the
colored race, and trample them under foot as infe
rior, it is cheering to witness single triumph OF
our colored friends, and them rise in manliness
and power, in spite of prejudice and hate If any
one doubts their upward tendency, their want Of
elements essential to elevation, let him call over
and read single article in one of these Magazines
and then blush for the injustice done crushed
people The talent and taste exhibited would do
honor to any Magazine published in our nation.
Nor would we thus speak of single author or a
single article; the whole work glows with the evi-
dence of talent and scholarship-far more so than
many of the popular productions of the press Let
our citizens interest themselves in the Anglo Afr
can Magazine, and while they encourage the en-
terprise, they will also beenft themselves by an
increase of useful knowledge, and decrease OF I'M
generous and unreasonable prejudices l com
mend it to our Reading Rooms, and to every pri-
vate family as a work of decided merit, for only
one dollar a year.-Reu. r. II. Conklin, in Tribune
