THE NATION, published at New
York, il certainly one Of the very
best papers published in this country.
It's editorials are models of concise
ness and sprightliness. 1t ought to
have a much more extensive circula-
ton.
SIX numbers Of the Hearth and
Home have been published. They
have proved sufficient to place it at
the head Of family newspapers. IL is
what it processes to be. a home paper,
in which every member of the family
always inds something that is pecu-
liarly adapted to their tastes.

THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW
has already gained in America the
position occupied by the Reviews in
England. 1t is the only work Of the
kind in this country that has attained
any prominence or that promises in
creased usefulness and influence.
There are two or three papers in the
last number that are Of peculiar in
terest to American readers. The
Tariff of the United States " and
Railroad Initiation" are pregnant
with oppression and anxiety to all
classes in all parts of the country,
and an earnest desire is being mani
tested TO become more familiar with
the practical workings of political
and financial schemes which may be
50 disastrous to the prosperity Of the
great mass of the people. A cotem-
porary says Of the ReUieD:
Ii will be many years before our
American press will be able to turn
out a quarterly with the clear pol
