FrcmW. ARC S. Houghton, Sacramento,
we have sample of new style of publication,
if such it can be called. It is art work. It is
called the Stevengraph Woven Silk Picture.
It is a small card on which is woven in silk
thread exquisite pictures, landscapes, marine
views, etc. These pictures are very hand
some, and are cOnsummate triumphs of the
weaver's skill They resemble engravinps.
and at a short distance may easily be mis-
taken for such We believe this is the first
of this style of publishing art ever brought
here. They make very handsome and mex
pensive holiday presents, and will probably
rival fine Christmas and New Years cards.
From the Leonard Scott Publishing Com
pany, New York, we have the Edinburgh
Review" fer October american edition..
The leading papers are Life Of Thomas
Graham. Lord Lynedoch :" Annals of Ex-
eter College," Records of Early English
