aid, OF Atlanta, Ga. The Herald is
capital weekly journal, conducted with
freshness and vigor, full of sparkling
editorial wit and criticism that Is only

Had we the least idea of receiving itreg-
ularly in exchange, we might be more
personal and more enthusiastic, but-a
burnt child breads the fire. The literary
and religious hebdomadals Of the Gate
city have nearly all been recipients of
kindly mention from the GAZETTE, after

gain; and with our experience before us
we class the Herald the liveliest Sunday
paper in the South, whether We ever see
anothercopy or not.
