Good Reading.

In our columS this week our readers
will find the announcements of many
standard periodicals, and as we champion
goodr eading with pleasure we voluntarily
throw in the following commentator
and trust that all of our leaders who can
do so will make the direct acquaintance
of one or more of these publications. II
is Just as important to supply your fami
" with good reading, and a sufficiency o.
it as it is to give them wholesome food
for the body.
The Nashville American, daily and
weekly, has no superior among papers
with an equal reading patronage. 1t will
compare to it's own advantage with any
of the eastern journals Its rates are
reasonable enough and it deserves the
attention and respect OF all Tennesseans
The Baltimore american, daily and
weekly, has many attractive features.
Baltimore papers are renowned for their
newsiness and the American is n of its
best.
The Savannah News is a paper which
earned its place in the fore of journalism
when all the other southern newspapers,
outside of New Orleans, were content to
hold mere political ground. A few
wears ago there were no real newspapers
in the south-they were mere political
organs Now this has all changed.
Southern readers demand news and liter
arie as well as politics, and enterprlslng
journalists are answering the demand
which the Savannah News felt and re-
sponded to before even a remote concep-
ton of real, live news publishing had
been aroused in the business offices OF
its contemporaries.
The New York Commercial Bulletin,
daily, is the leading financial and COM
mercial authority in this country, and as
such is deferred to in all matters bearing
ON money and trade. 1t has no party
bias, and has nothing to do with politics
except as they bear on direct legislation
Its weekly editions alone are of great
value while every merchant who does any
considerable business should receive 1t
daily.
A journal which we have taken to our
heart after a brief acquaintance IS Pr
gress," Mr.. Jno. w. Forney's weekly
Philadelphia paper. There is much IN II
the average reader, but those upon whom
the claims of a strong mind, accurate
perception and nervous expression, eX-
pressed in nlultitudinous paragraphs COW
ering as many subjects of all imaginable
complexion will find in Progress a charm
to hold the attention from the first to the
last page.
The Home Journal (New York; is the
recognized society organ of the metrop-
oils. 1t is not a journal of millinery
nor a twopenny recorder of dances and
social slops. 1t occupies a dignified po-
sition in a field where it must be rather
hard work at all times to be dignified 1t
is a very large paper and its literature is
both unstinted and good.
Among fashion Magazines the Domes-
tic has no superior, and will be welcom-
ed especially in shose homes where m
thing planer than silks, satins, and the
more costly goods are worn and made
up. AS a literary periodical alone it is
fully worth the price while the fashion
articles, plates and ordinary illustrations
distribute its favors to all the members of
the family.
The New York Tribune, daily and
weekly hold a. place of its own among
American journals, which commends it
to all who appreciate choice English
and standard literature. 1t is pre-emi-
nently the republican organ of New York
and while its past alleged connection
with Gould no doubt impaired its in
fuence very considerably, its more re-
cent course under the full control of Mr.
Reid has fully restored tito its former
commanding position. This is demon
strated by recent events too fully to be
denied. The weekly is "a paper which
will commend itself with especial favor to
the farmer.
