THE NEW SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN OFFICES
We are glad to announce that the Scientific
American came out of the late fire in New
York, like the tabled Phoenix, with renewed
life. The subscription lists, account books.
patent records. patent drawings, and cores
pondence were preserved in massive nre-proof
safes. The printing Of the Scientific American
and Supplement was done in another building
consequently the types, plates. presses. paper,
etc. were unframed, and no interruption OF
business was occasioned.
The new Scientific american offices are located
at 25l Broadway, corner of Warren Street. a
very central and excellent situation. The new
building fronts towards the City Hall, the
Court-house, and the New Post-office-a mag
nificent structure, which cost eight millions to
build.
The new Scientific american offices are admi-
rably chosen for active business. Here in ad-
dition to the issuing of their interesting pub
LEGATIONS, Messrs. Mum & Co., aided by
trained examiners and draughtsmen, prepare
specifications and drawing for American and
Foreign patents. If any Of our readers should
happen to make new discovery 1--WE hope ev-
cry one Of them may do SO, and gain fortune)
they have only to drop a line to Mum Co.,
26l Broadway, New York, who will reply at
once, without charge, stating whether the in
ventlon is probably novel and patentable. A
handbook OF Instructions. with full particu-
lars, will also be sent. Free Messrs. Mum
Co. have had over thirty-five years experience
in the business.

The readjusters having appropriated

normal school, and provided for its
maintenance, though there is none for
white men, now propose establishing
a normal school for white females. OF
course, whaJ white women have must be
given to those of darker hue. and as no
man OF Anglo Saxon blood, except pos.
sibly readjuster, will be content with
less privileges than those enjoyed by ne
groes, there will be normal school for
white males. Thus there will be four
State normal schools, the sole expenses
of which, as the negroes will be exempt

herself by repudiating them. It wont

Two THINGS WORTH READING.-We have
received from Enrich Bros. of New York. q
brace Of interesting pamphlets, which are sent
out as the auant couriers OF the Spring number
of that we'll known magazine of fashion, En-
rich's Fashion Quarterly.
The first is the Premium List Of the Quarterly,
and tells what good things they may secure by
subscribing to the Fashion Quarterly them
selves, and inducing others to do the like.
Among other novelties in the way Of pre-
miums, we notice a choice selection OF vocal
and instrumental music, issued at forty cents
per piece, one piece of which (as selected) Is
sent to every subscriber without exception.
Among the premiums Tor clubs are some really
beautiful sets of jewelry. which will be sent In
return for four, six, or eight subscribers. Vi
course, the jewelry is not pure gold. but the
Ehrichs say 1t looks just as pretty aa II it were
and they ought to know.
The second pamphlet is entitled Shopping in
New York, and is intended to convey an ides
Of the plan and scope OF the Fashion Quarterly
and we must say that if the Spring number O.
the Quarterly only carries out the promises
made for 1t by its forerunner, it will be very
complete magazine indeed. In this pamphlet
of 16 quarto pages, almost every department O
O large New York retail store is represented te
a limited extent The careful mother finds IL
it few standard styles of underwear; Of chill
drens clothing for both boys and girls; of won
derfully cheap embroideries; of hosiery; o
window curtains; and a dozen other necessi
ties of housekeeping; while the less thought
full daughter Will enjoy the jewelry. the lacss
and the knick-knacks for room adornmen
which are spread before her. A blank form fol
sending orders occupies the last page. and At
tingly completes the little book.
The Fashion Quarterly ought to have larg'
circulation, and we think it will. For only
fifty cents year the publishers offer four beau
tiful fashion books, issued at the beginning o
the successive seasons. and give to each sub
scriber, as well, the privilege OF making Sc
lection from list of choice music, every piece
of which is retailed by the music dealers al
over the country, at forty cents.
The Fashion Quarterly is published by En-
rich Bros, of Eighth Avenue, New York, who
will send the pamphlets referred to, free. on
application.

StauntOn is to have the benefit OF this re-
markable dramatic success on Thursday night,
presented by the Madison Square Theatre Com
pany. and with all the richness of mounting
and fullness of accessories that characterized
its production in that magnificent tn atre of
the Metropolis. Hazel Kirke had the unpre-
cedented run of 1856 consecutive nights in one
theatre. while its provincial representations
swell it to over 400. 1t is positively the most
remarkable creation, as developing what is re-
fined and excellent in the histrionic world, and
In demonstrating that purity in the drama
can be made overwhelmingly popular, that
ever has m de its impression in the history Of
art It is marked departure from the beaten
paths Of dramatic work. The plot. II it has
any. is essentially simple. the incidents purely
natural and without tragic element. Doubt
less its charm and drawing power is due to its
intense realism, supplemented by the talent
of the impersonators, for the casts of Madison
Square Theatre invariably include the most
finished members of the profession. We are
exceedingly anxious, as the time approaches,
that this company should meet with the most
generous encouragement. Staunton has been
placed on its route in company with other cit
les m UGH larger in population and resources,
end no other visiting point is nearer than Lam
vile. If prominent companies desire to dig
Nifty us as large town, and as an art-loving
town, let us, for common sense sake. meet
them halfway, and let the Opera House be
filled with such house a. we can and ought to
furnish. The prices. with this expectation on
the part Of the management, have been fixed
at rs cents for choice Seats and general admis-
sion in proportion. This is not above the ex-
pense of good minstrel shows. The best evi.
dence of the wonderful popularity of the Play
is seen in the fact that those of our citizens
who eyince The most interest in it, and have
been most eager in pursuit of seats. are those
who during visits to the Northern cities have
had the opportunity to see it. All of them
concur in It's remarkable fascination, and are
delighted at the prospect of its performance
here. To avoid confusion and dissatisfaction Ya
suggest that you at once secure seats at Oliv-
ier's book store for Thar. day night, the first
and positively only uight.
