Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly.

The widespread interest in the coming inaugural ceremonies at Washington gives timeliness and value to the article entitled “Ninety-seven Yearsin the White House,” which forms the leading feature of Fkank Leslie's Popular Monthly for March. It is written by Joanna R. Nioholls, and is profusely illustrated with portraits and interior views reproduced from new photographs. Then there is a vigorous description of the great Lincoln Inauguration, by Hon. A. Oakey Hall, who was a participant in the ceremonies. This is illustrated with a reproduction of a sketch of the inauguration made at the time, and a picture of some of the costumes worn at the Inauguration Ball. There are many other interesting and important articles in this number, and some clever stories and poems. “Va*sar College” is described in a splendidly written paper by Blanche A. Jones; Frederick A. Ober writes of “Some Natives of North Africa,” which include the Arabs, Berbers, Touaregs and Moors; there is the concluding paper of Edmund Jennings Lee’s excellent estimate of the ■character of General Robert E. Lee; "A Thousand Miles Up the Amazon” is entertainingly described by Clarence B. Riker; Commissioner Blechenden tells of life in India; the city of St. Louis comes In for an appreciative paper by Charles Thomas Logan; and there is some illustrated stage gossip, a young folks’department, talks about new books, and many other things.—Frank Leslie’s Publishing House, New York.
