Tbisis the title Of q book Of poems
xritten BY Mrs. Lillian Roselle Messen-
ser, a Southern lady, who was educated
at Forest HiIl:College, near this city
and who madeher debut in the literary
world through the Memphis papers She
is no stranger to our people or 10 the
South, as her charming productions oil
The pen have been before the public sew
eral years. Her husband was likewise
we'll and favorsbly known as editor Of
an Alabama paper. The book is now
in it's second edition, and has meta very
encouraging reception at the HANDS OF
critics and the press. Its merits seem 10
fully iustify the reputation of the fair ana
ta,ented authoress. In Little Rock, Hell
ana. New Orleans aud Washington City
il has had a large sale. and has received
excellent uotices at the hands ofthe New
Work and Boston press. Mr.. Boyce has
the agency for this city, and will canvass
for subscribers. Mrs. Messenger is here
at present, stopping with friends at "a
Poplar street, and will perhaps remain
several days TO renew old friendships,
as well as supervise the sale OF her
book. We wish her great success and
appreciation, as she deserves.

The comic Clergyman.

From the Graphic.l
And now fault is found with the Rev.
Mr.. Porteous on the ground that he is
comic clergyman. But why is not
the same objection brought against Mr..
Talmage, who is at least as comic as Mr..
Porteous has ever ventured to be. Or
why should we not find fault with Mr..
Beeeher, who defends mirthfulness in the
pulpit as the salt Of sermonizing. Mr..
Porteous should persevere in his comic
path, without fear Of Bishop or people.
The more thoroughly comic he can make
himself and his sermons the more effect
ually can he defy all Episcopal attempts
10 make a new Porteous riot"

EOv TO NOMINATE.

The NashEille Banner seems TO be IN
favor of uoninating candidates by
primary election. We tried that ezper-
iment in Shelby county tao years ago,
and the ticket selected, although 8
strong one apparently. was de-
featsd. This. however, is not as bad an
argument against the system as might
be inferred, because it was merely an
experiment that time, and was cireum-
vented By combustion that could not be
foreseen. If fairly conducted it ought to
secure fair expression Of the people
and ascertain the most popular men.
The principal objection that we can see
exists in the possibility of trieksters
acquiring the nomination of weak men
with a view Of defeating them at the
ballot box. But what will suit one
county will not always answer so well IN
another. The science Of politics is in
various stages of development, aud
localities as well as circumstances alter
cases.
