NEW PUBLICATIONS.

ROwELL & Co.'s Newspaper and Re-
porter and Printers Gazette continues to
maintain its place as a journal that prin-
tiers and publishers cannot do without.
THE FREEMAsoN, published by Frank
GOuley, comes to us for the month of
May a model of typographical excel
lence, and worthy as to contents of the
best appreciation of the craft.
THE SOUTHERN FARM AND HOME for
June is creditable to its editor and pub
Usher, and gives evidence of its appre-
citation by the class in whose interest it
is published. 1t is one of the best of our
Memphis publications. Conducted with
care and ability, and printed in superior
style, it should find an extended ~circula-
ton throughout the Southwest.
THE INLAND MONTHLY MAGAZINE
for June is a good number, embellished
with photographic portraits of B. Gratz
Brown, candidate for the Vice-Presiden-
cy and Mrs. Edwina Dean, a local mu-
steal celebrity of st. Louis. The Inland
is the complement of the Overland,
published in San Francisco and the At
ldRtjc, published in Boston. 1t
is managed by women who
evince a great deal Of ability for the tasks
they have assumed. Charlotte Smith
is publiher, and Mary Nolan, editor.
Terms three dollars a year.
THE FOURTEENTH ANNUAL Gaia
LOGUE of the State Female College, near
Memphis, from the press of Boyle d
Chapman, of this city, is q of the best
specimens of pamphlet printing that we
have seen from the press Of a firm who
seem TO desire to deserve the fame of
being the best printers in the city. The
copy of this pamphlet before us goes far
to establish theiTcredit in that direction.
1t speaks well for the progress the art is
making in Memphis, and, we hope, will
stimulate others in a direction where
there is surely room for improvement.
We have received, by mail, parts
thirty-One to forty inclusive, Of ZelPs
Popular Encyclopedia and Universal
Dictionary of History, Biography, Ge-
ography, Science, Arts and Language.
One of the most useful because one of
the most complete works of its class and
kind, we are glad to know that ZelPs
Encyclopedia is in demand, and that it
is more than likely several editions will
be demanded before the last number
goes to press. As a book of ready refer
ence for lawyers, physicians, architects,
engineers, artists, journalists and other
professional men, we esteem it one Of
the very best.
RAND, MCNALLY q Co.'s RAILWAY
