biography, although he was not on English
man, and was only in England on his way to
Australia. Every step he had taken since he
landed in England was known, and In ten days
the American Consul was able to send here
considerable statement of facts in regard to
him. How would 1t have been had this
event happened here? Detectives Blatherskyte,
Puffer and Itchingpalm would have been
assigned to "work up the case" They would
have studied the newspapers for three days to
ascertain what rewards were offered, and Hnd-
ing none would have informed us at the end OF
three months that the suicide was an impene-

HEARTH AND HOME. - This excellent
freside journal seems to be growing in fa-
vor and increasing in popularity. The
number for July l7th contains the first
chapters of the very interesting story,
"The Romance of Rich Young Girl" by
Octave Fuillet, author of "The Romance
ofa Poor Young Man." which was every
where so deservedly popular by reason of
the singular interest of its plot, the variety
beauty and thrilling character of its incl
dents, the artistic skill of the style. and
the healthy tone Of its morality. 3" The
Romance Of a Rich Young Girl will be
found to possess all these qualities in an
unusually marked degree. The illusta-
tions were designed and engraved eX-
pressly for this paper in Paris, by eminent
artists.
