Awaits, the newly discovered scientific
universal language, resulting from the
| principles OF universology, by Stephen
| Pearl Andrews, with Illustrative diA-
grams" The book ia to rejoice in NO
/ less than five distinct introductions by as
many admirers of Mr.. Andrews, who
thinks that humanity will take q new
departure from the time of the issue of
this book, which is March, 1853. We
{ fear that the departure will be from the
( book ITSELF, as we doubt II there be more
/ than six people in the world who eau

Miss Caroline Cheesebro, who shines
in the GdId1g, lights up Hearth and
! Home, and occasionally drops line into
| the atlantic, is the instructress in En-
glish composition at the Packer Insti-
tute, Brooklyn. We are glad to note
that she endeavors to foster better taste
than usually prevails in schoolgirl lit
erature, by giving her pupils such prAc-
tical subjects as :" How the Daughters of
a Household may make Home Pleas
ant" ," " How to Keep the Heart Warm
in Cold Weather. and the like, as she
has lately done. This is decided inno-
vstion on the conventional "Sunset,n u
Thoughts in q Mirror" Beauty"
ETC., for which she is to be greatly
thanked.

Both Republicans and Democrats
unite in prsising Gov. Hoffman for his
vetoes Of special legislation. Three
quarters of the profits Of the lobby would
be cut off IL there were Constitutional
provision for the prevention Of special
legislation in any case which q general
Law could be made TO cover. In default
OF such ? provision, which exists in the
Constitutions of some OF the Western
States, we are glad that we have Gov
ernOr who will use the veto power fear
lessIy to prevent such legislation,
