The useful and able periodical,

table of contents for the current
cipal papers: Under Chloroform;"

We have received the first number
of a monthly magazine, especially de-
voted to Engineering, Manufacturing
which is published by the 1.-THE In
dustrial Publication Company, of
New York. It is rather handsome
quarto of thirty six pages, filed with
articles of practical value to those en-
gagged in the pursuits to whose inter
terests the work is devoted. There
are several illustrations in the num-
Der before US. Though the Technolo-
gist is prepared with care and ability,
and is entitled to a very favorable
Judgment, it Is not the equal, we
think, either as respects its typograph-
ical appearance, its illustrations, or
its articles, with certain magazines of
technical character published in
Chicago. For practical machinists,
however, the TechnologiSt is the best
publication we have seen.

THE LIFE OF MARY RUSSELL NIT
FORD, authoress of "Our Village" &C.
Told by herself in letters to her friends.
Edited by Rev. A. q. X. L'ESTRANGE. 2
Vols. New Ork HARPER q BROTH ERS.
Cincinnati: RoBT. CLARKE & Co. S3 so.


Miss Milford was en English writer
of some celebrity. She was born in
1857, and died in 1857, in her seven
tieth year. Like the Diary and Cor
respondence of Henry Crabbe Robin
son, her letters contain much that is
interesting of the literary men and
women of her period. she is best
known to American readers by Our
Village" quiet picture of rural life.
There is much in the two volumes of
her correspondence that is valuable.
but there is also a good deal that
is trashy. and some patience is
necessary to dig out the gold
from the rubbish. AS samples of
gossip, many Of her letters are quite
charming, and some of the poems
which are printed with her CORES
pondence, are very interesting. An
exchange has made some selections
from her letters which we transfer to
our columns. Speaking of the poet
Wordsworth, whom she had encoun-
tered at country house, she gives
this extraordinary bit of information
concerning his habits (Vol. l., p.
295):
1.-THE Wordsworths never dine.
you know, they hate such doines;
when they are hungry, they go to the
cupboard and eat. There is Mr..
Wordsworth. who will live for a
month on cold beef, on the next on
cold bacon"
Concerning her experience as an
authOress, she makes this pathetic
plant. (vol. H., p. 49,:
"Ohl who would be an authoress?
| would rather serve in a shop
rather scour floors - rather nurse
children, than undergo these terrible
and interminable disputes, and this
unwomanly publicity"
OF one of her country homes
Nyme Regis) she gives this pleasing
picture, (vol. IL, p. 212):
"Our abode was a fine old house in
the middle Of the chief street-a
porch and great gables with spread
OdSASS OAStluSulSueU III IL was built
round a quadrangle, and the back
looked into garden, which descend
ed by terraces to a small stream. a
descent so abrupt that a grotto with
its basin and spring formed a natural
shelter under the hilly bank, planted
with strawberries. Arbutus, pas
sion-fowers, myrtles and moss roses
abounded in that lovely garden and
covered the front of the house, and
the drawing room chimney piece was
copy of the monument to Shaks-
peare, in Westminster Abbey"
Here, again, is a pleasant notice of
the Tennysons. 1t is charming to
hear of Alfred " as practical gar
deRer (vol. H., p. 298):
"She is intimate. very, with all the
Tennysons, and speaks of them more
highly than l ever heard any one;
perhaps because she knows them bet
ter. She says they are the most un-
worldly people she ever knew, valu
ing everybody by the personal quail
ties, apart from all considerations of
rank, of wealth, or fame, or consider
alton. Incidence is the besetting sin
of the race; but they can work if they
will. For instance, she made Alfred
dig up the whole garden at her faith
