Literary notices.
De Soto's march through Georgia--by Colonel Charles C. Jones, Jr.--a paper read before the Georgia Historical Society, Savannah — has been sent us by the accomplished author, and is what might have been expected from the practiced pen of this able and pains-taking historian.
The Morning News steam printing house of Savannah has gotten up the pamphlet, with a steel portrait of De Soto as frontispiece, in a manner every way creditable to the enterprise and skill of all concerned.
Scribner's monthly for April fully sustains the reputation of this superbly illustrated and widely popular magazine. This number completes volume XIX of the monthly, and a glance at the index for the volume shows that in variety of topics, beauty of illustrations, literary finish and practical value, Scribner deserves the wide reputation it has won — a reputation which has swelled its leaders to hundreds of thousands in America, and which has given it already over ten thousand subscribers in England.
St. Nicholas--the queen of Magazines for children — seems to increase in interest from month to month, and if we are to judge by the sparkling eyes and warm expressions of delight with which our little folks greeted the April number, that is fully up to the high standard the Scribners have fixed for their childrens' monthly.
