The aggregate sale of Northern periodi.
Gals in the South would astonlsh even the
most thoughtful. There is not town or
city in the Southern States which cannot
boast of from one to a dozen "news and
periodical depots," with "a large supply of
the latest publications" and in scarcely one
Of them can be found Southern newspaper
or periodical The aggregate business Of
this trade is immense, scarcely household
escaping the tax laid upon US to encourage
Northern intellect in its labors, and increase
the profits Of their publishers. If these con-
tributions to the literature Of the country
were equally divided, and only half the
profits kept at home, il would pay a hand
some interest on a million or more Of dol
lars
That it could be done is ungueslionable;
but ,rhy Il is not done is a question that we
will not now undertake to answer. We set
out with the intention merely to mention
the brief list Of Southern Literary publica-
tons which reach US, and to invite to them
the favorable attention and liberal support
Of the Southern people. They are:
The Crescent Monthly, New Orleans, La
SCOTS Monthly Atlanta, Ga.
The Land We LOys, Charlotte, n c.
The Home Monthly, Nashville, Tenn,
Besides these we believe the Southern Lite
rary Messenger is still published at Rich
mond, but not having seen a copy since the
war closed, are not positive Of the fact
The Ladies Home, is the title of weekly
literary published at Atlanta, fully equal in
manner and matter to any ever published in
the South. Its contributors embrace the
first names in the literary lists Of the South,
and is edited with preeminent ability and
good taste.
The Southern Field and Eireside, another
weekly, was transferred from Augusta, Ga,
to Raleigh, n. c., during the war; and we
learn is now being published. This list
short as it is, we believe embraces the sum
of our literary publications.

fully acknowledged, has Just published a
book entitled "Thc Resources and Prospects
of America" This distinguished writer
confines himself to the material and COM
mercal capabilities of the country. to which
he paid especial and minute attention while
travelling there. He takes very enthusi-
astic view of the promise which America
gives in these respects The work is di-
vided into eight sections in which are treat
edTespectively population, agriculture, man
ufactures, minerals. commerce, railroads,
the South and its future, and finance. In
connection with each of these subjects, many
facts and statistics are presented which are
new, at least to the British public. The
whole is arranged with clearness and skill
which attest the eminent capacity of the
writer to deal with his important theme
Sir Morton Peto, among other conclusions
highly gratifying to American pride, eX-
presses the conviction that the country is
abundantly able to pay the debt incurred by
the conquest of the rebellion.

THE "FRosT ELowER" OF RUSSIA PRO-
DUCED IN BOSTON.

DUCED IN BOSTON.
A Boston journal describes an extraordi-
nary frost flower of Russia. which has
been produced, it is said, in Boston in a tenn
peraturc of artificial cold, in the following
words: This wonderful plant, or rather
flower is found only on the northern bound
aries of Siberia. where the snow is eternal.
1t was discovered in 1863 by Count Swinos-
koil' the eminent Russian botanist. who was
ennobled by the Gar for his discovery
Bursting from the frozen snow on the first
day of the year, it grows to the height of
three feet and flowers on the third day, re-
mains in flower for twenty-four hours and
then dissolves itself into its original element
stem, leaves and flowers being of the fl
nest snow. The stalk is about one inch in
diameter the leaves. three i'll number. in
the brOadest part are an inch and half in
width. and are covered with infinitessimal
cones of snow; they grow only on one side
of the stalk, to the north, curving gracefully
in the same direction. The flower when full
ly expanded is in shape a perfect star the
petals are three inches in length, half an inch
wide in the broadest parts. and tapering
sharply to point. These are also inter
laced one with another, in a beautiful man
ner. forming the most delicate basket OF
frost work that the eye ever beheld for
truly this is frost work the most wonderful.
The anthers are five in number, and on the
third day after the birth of the ''1ower of
snow" are to be seen on the eXtremities
thereof, trembling and glttering like dia-
monds, the seeds of this wonderful flower,
about as large as pins head. The old bot
anist says when first he beheld this flower,
II was struck dumb with astonishment fill
ed with wonderment, which gave way to JOY
the most ccstatic on beholding this wonder
fut work Ofnature, this remarkable phenom-
one of snow: to see this flower springing
from the snowy desert-born ofits own COM
poste atoms, | touched the stem of one
lightly, but it fell at my touch, and morsei
of snow only remained in my hand Gath
cring some of the flowers in snow, in order
to preserve the little diamond like seeds, he
hied to st. Petersburg with, to him, the
greatest prize of his life time. All through
the year they were kept in show, and on
the first day of the year following the Court
Of st. Petersburg were delighted with the
bursting forth of the wonderful frost flow
err" Our friends in Boston succeeded in
obtaining several ofthe seeds and all through
the summer and autumn they have been i'm
bedded in snow brought at great expense
from the White Mountains and the coast OF
Labrador and they now have the most un
bounded satisfaction and pleasure in an
nouncing that all signs are favorable
to the realization of their fondest hopes, the
production of the 'hower of snow" The
snow and ice are in large glass refrigera-
tor. with the thermometer forty-five degrees
below zero. and the solid bed of snow has
already begun to show little fissures and n
slight bulging in the centre unmistakable
evidence of the forthcoming of the phen-
omenon.

THE MooNLESs FEBRUARY.-Februar
1866, has been the subject of various remarks
for weeks past, rs being a month without Il
"full moon,' a phenomenon not so rare but
that it may occur about every nineteen
years" or little more, that being 'cycle
of the moon" n cOtemporary journal says
that "a very close astronomical calculation
shows that this peculiar phase of the moons
changes has not been exhibited since the
creation, and that it will not occur again in
a million of years. This 'close calcula-
ton involves an error somewhere or else
its originator is not posted on lunar aspects,
for the peculiar phenomenon took place in
the month of February of III, lI19, 119S,
1909, 1928, and 1917. and now in lS66-the
first four at intervals of about nine and nine
teen years alternately the last two at
intervals of about 10 years. 1t is said that
the month of February, 1870, had no full
moon, and that January and March, the
same year had but one full moon each-an
aspect still more rare in occurrence. The
circumstance of moonless February de-
pends on certain principle and can be cal
culated and the exact month given with ms
much accuracy as the time of an eclipse. A
series of eclipses can be demonstrated from
"the cycle of the moon"-19 years-its an
nual increase being called in most almSnacs,
Golden Number" which eclipses occur on
the same principle of the peculiar phase OF
the moon in February last. The next moon
less February will probably happen in 1850.
