MESSRS.  LEE & WALKER, No. 162 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, are now publishing “Lindiana,” a choice selection of Jenny Lind’s songs, with brilliant variations by the untiring Chas. Grobe.  The first is the “Dream.”  In the hands of Professor Grobe, we cannot doubt the entire success of the enterprise.  The series is dedicated to “our musical editor,” who fully appreciates the compliment and returns his sincere thanks.

Our old friend Mr. James Conenhoven, associated with Mr. Duffy, has opened a new music store at No. 120 Walnut Street, Philadelphia.  From Mr. C.’s known taste and knowledge of the business, we anticipate his entire success, and cheerfully recommend our friends to make his early acquaintance in his new career.  They have sent us the Silver Bell Waltz, by Mr. Conenhoven himself, and Solitude, a beautiful song by Kirk White, the music by John Daniel.  Both are very handsomely got up, and are valuable accessions to a musical portfolio.

OUR TITLE-PAGE.—­Those who are fond of Fashions other than colored will be gratified with our title-page, which contains at least fifty figures.

PRINTING IN COLORS.—­We give another specimen in this number, of printing in colors from a STEEL plate.  We believe that we have the only artisans in this country that can do this kind of fancy work.  The present specimen, which we are willing to contrast with any other plate in any magazine for this month, is entirely of American manufacture.

We will send a copy of the November and December numbers of the Lady’s Book, containing the Lord’s Prayer and the Creed, gratis, to any religious publication with which we do not exchange, if it will signify a wish to have them.

NEW-YEAR’S DAY IN FRANCE.—­All who have visited this gay country at the season of the holidays, will be struck with the graphic power displayed by our artist in the plate that graces the present number.
