Puget Sound and its vicinity; in connection
with the projected Northen Pacific Railroad,
which will have one ofits termini on Puget
Sound. this paper, which is profusely illus

| the Peaches" is timely paper also illus:
trated, and is replete..with interesting infor-
nation regarding the peach harvest. Three
serial stories are given in this number "Thc
Old love Again." by ANNIE THOMAS, ap-
proaches its conclusion; "Anterous" is still
continued; and "Anne Furness," new serial
by the author of "Marbels.P Progress" "Aunt
Margaret's Trouble" and veronica is
commenced, promising to be the most inter-
esting serial of the season. Two excellent
short stories are given, and four poems-one
of the latter by HARRIET prescott SPoFFoRD,

tain Woman of America, by daughter of

against the theory that woman should exer-
else political functions. "a Day among the
Quakers" tells the story of the visit of an old
Quaker snd his wife to president Lincoln in
1861 visit that more than any thing else
seems to have decided the President to issue
his Emancipation Proclamation. Frederick
the Great" still continues to increase in in
terest The sketch of the "Old Dessauer,"
in this part is brilliant and effective pic
ture. SIN Wall Street." which reveals the
inside operations and characters of great
banking house, is novel, and as entorta lining
as story. M. D. Conway contributes two
papers to this number-the second part Of
his "Saunter on Canterbury" which among
other things gives graphic description of
the installation of the present archbishop,
and footprints of Charles Dickens" which
is thoughtful and interesting paper on the
connection between Dickens's works and
the localities in and about London which
furnished the novelist with his most strik-
| ing pictures and characters.
