New Publications.

We have received from the publishers
the new School Song Book "Cheerful
| Voices" and notice in the first place the
not snowy but substantial binding, which
| seems to say that it is intended for hard
usage, and will stand a great deal of sing
! ing by the eager young 1ocalists before they
fairly "sirg through it." Pausing a mo-
ment to look at the sscheerful" school room
picture on the cover, we begin to turn over
the leaves, and find an equally HcheerfuP'
course 10 note reading. The 'rules' are
there, as they must be; but in addition
there are SO many pleasing airs and songs,
thst one can hardly tell the
'sstudy" from the "play" portion, which
commences at p. 81. AS to the collection
of "cheerful" songs, we notice few from
| older books, altogether too sweet to gather
dust by disuse; also number of arrange
ments of popular songs that have already
won a good reputation as ''sheet-music;"
also the three or four patriotic pieces
which should always 60 in. The rest of
| the songs seem to he entirely new and orig
| inal, and we may reckon that Mr.. Emerson,
who rarely makes 8 mistake in selection,
has chosen just the right kind of things to
please the girls, to please the boys, and to
please the teachers. We should also notice
the sacs1d music for opening and closing
which fills twenty pages at the end. Oliver

The April number Of Old and Ne1o con-
tains remarkable supply Of spirited and
entertaining papers. Two new serial
novels are begun-oRe by an American,
and one by an Englishman. the former
is Mr.. Frederic B. Perkins story of "Scrope,
or The Lost Library" which opens with
close and accurate picture of the fun and
earnest of book-auc,ions in New YORK
city, aud gives hints Of klep.omanis and
various other "moderD improvements"
The Latter, by Mr.. T. G. Burnand, the
well known humorist, and author of the
"Happy Thought" books, is in the form of
an autobiography, beginniDgswith the birth
of the hero. There sre two papers of
natural history sort: one In par
ticular. enIiued "Soue Cats
have known" is very funny il many places.
Mr.. T. G.. Appleton has a quaint and
thoughtful sketch, entitled "The Two
Monks" There is lively story of the
mining districts by the late Frederic Wsd-
worth LoTiDg, and quite successful apollo
gy for what IS called "Red Tape" by Mr.. j.
B. Mann. The poetry in this number is
good, The Music Review, new depart
ment, gives unusually sincere and instruct
i've accounts of new music publications
and the other departments are as spirited as
usual. Roberts Brothers, Boston, Publish

The Expesi6ion-Its Neurological
Features

The meteorological department of the Ex-
position, which is Immediately under the
direction of Prof. J. NJ Stafford, one of most
distinguished biologists in the South, prom
ises TO be of unusual Interest, and a rich
display Of the undeve'Optd resources Of our
State may be expected, together with valua-
bic contributions from our ster Southern
States. No effort is being spared to pre-
sent to the capitalist seeking investments in
miGeSsl lands an opportunity for taking in
at one visY the rich specimens of ores,
Goals, etc. with which nIT country ab0unds,
with the location of the lands frcE2 which
thew were taken. The Nashville aud Chat.
tanooga and Nashville and Northwestern
Railways, in addition to the previous ibe-
raj arrangement for visitors and articles for
exhibition, propose to transport 81 ores and
minerals sent over their lines for the EXPO
sition free of charge, and the following let
ter from the management Of an important
Southern railway connection, evinces the
same Ii 9eral spirit to aid in presenting to
the public specimens Of wealth that lies ab

TO tie scientist an Others interested in
such matters, this feature of our grand ex
position cannot fail to be Of great impor-
lance, exhibiting in small compass the un-
developed riches Of great scope Of coun-
try. Prof Stafford, we learn, proposes to
erect miniature coal mine in the EXPOSE
ton, showing the entire meteorological for
nation, aud exhibiting to the inexperienced
how the 'dusky diamonds" lie in the bowels
of the earth. This feature is exc edingly
novel, and cannot fail to interest the th0us-
ands Of visitors in attendance. The !teThird

be the last held in our city Tor some years
to come, as in all probability the Govern
ment wills on require possession of their
lot, upon which a part OF the building

promises to eclipse its predecessors in its
great brilliancy and SUCCESS. Applications
for space are pouring in from all sections.

scented. Chs interest of our mechanics and

HERHY IN THE TEAPOT.

The following notes on the subject Of
tea-making were sent us Dy lady who has
kept house for foIty-five years, and has
zeaIously studied and practiced the art Of
making good tea and coffee. Her opinions
may be considered haretica, but we con.
slider it certain that she knows how to
make good tea:
Il oppose the so often Wanted rules,
which direct us to put our tea-leaVes in
the pot, and, after pouring boiling water ov-
er them, to pour The tea Immediately into
the cups. This practice may still do in
China or Russia, where they use none b ut
the finest qualities of teas, and it might pos
sibly have answered in this country be-
fore the art OF adulteratiou was understood
so well. The idea which is so of.en advanced
that it spoils breakfast tea to let it boil or
steep any length of time after The boiling
water is poured on it, Is most erroneous
one. l don't approve of stewing tea, but
do not consider breakfast-tea Ono matter
how fine its qualiLies) that has not had Z or
8 Dingtes' slow boiling, TO be fit for use. T"
