Here is q curiosity-the first number of a
monthly Magazine, published and edited by col
ored men, It's contributors mainly colored people,

those whom we know to possess talent of high
order Rev.. II. II. Garnet DR.. James M'Cune

Mary A. S. Carey, Sarah NJ. Douglass, Geo. B.
Vashon, NJ. II. Freeman, DC. Among the number
of contributors named, no doubt others of equal
talent are included; but we are not SO well able to
speak of others.
The articles are generally creditable the Intro
ductory and one on 'Civilization--its Depend
ence on Physical circumstances are certainly
able."-Datty Dispatch pittsburgh, Pa.)
This first number gives promise of an inter
esting and valuable journal, and we hope the ex-
pertinent of its publisher will be decided sue

This Magazine is one of the best appearing
monthlies we have seen from the American press,
and the leading articles, and those from the con-
tributors, contain arguments and general informa-
ton that should be procured by every family, and
particularly young men, and treasured up. Let
the friends of literature and progress subscribe for
| it, read and preserve it. The contributors are
among the ablest writers we have, and from the
number interested in this work, at the end of the
year, you that subscribe will have the material to
make interesting volume. '-Pr0Uincidi Free

ANGLO AFRICAN MAGAzINE-The first number
of this Magazine, published by Thomas Hamilton,
49 Beekman street, N. Y, has appeared. We
think it will be read with interest by all who re
ceive it. The third article, Civilization-its De-
pendence on Physical Circumstances" by DR..
James MCune Smith, regard peculiarly in
structive and valuable. The idea that in nations
advanced in civilization, the of intellectual
power spring from the common people, the physi-

EDITOR OF TRIBUNE Il have just received from
the office of the AngLo-A triedn MagGeiRe, pub
hshed in New York, three numbers, and, as a 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 see them rise In manlness
and power, in spite of prejudice and hate. fany.
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 a single author or
single article the whole work glows with the evil
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-Afi
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
