BLAcKwooD's MAGAZINE, for March, ap-
pears in the reprint of the Leonard Scott pub-
fishing company somewhat earlier in the month
than usual 1t is rather noticeable number,
containing two articles of especial interest TO
American readers, though, with the true tory
spirit of this magazine, they are not iattering TO
American self esteem. The articles referred to
are life of General Lee, ably written, but ex
trayagantly eulogistic of that commander, and
''The American Revoke, /" by Cornelius 0'Dowd.
A new story, entitled "a True Reformer," is
begun in this number, and other articles are:
'Voltaire," Maid of Sker-part VIII, Au-
tumnal Maneuvres The Manchester Noncon-
lormists and Political Philosophy, Ministers Re-
fore Parliament.
TIRE ATLANTIC MONTHLY, for April, con-
tinues its serial papers, and has, among other
things, poems by Longfelow, Whittier, and
Bret Harte. Longfellow's poem, 'The Ballad
Vi Aatlllludliy HIS SlA pstsNos W ulllASA AuC
Brewing of the Soma," fills two pages. Bret
Harte's we have printed. There is paper of
some length entitled "John Brown in Massachu-
Sets" which will get attention. 1t is an excel
lent number. The continued articles by Parton,
Holmes, Hawthorne, De Mile, and Taylor would
make it so without aid from the other good
things. We must say, however, as quietly as
possible, that we are not so much charmed by
Bayard Taylors Diversions of the Echo Club"
as he may suppose we ought to be. His echo
Club" appears to be failure.
ScRIBNER's MONTHLY, for April, is one of the
very best numbers of this magazine. Charles
D. Warmers Backlog Studies" are admirable
Each new paper seems better than the last; and
we are quite that none of the others is equal
to that printed in this number of Scribuer. A
paper entitled "The Silent College at Washing
tom describes the Washington Collegiate Insti-
tuition for deaf-mutes, which is managed by that
estimable gentleman and accomplished teacher,
Edward NJ. Gallaudet, son of the late Thomas
H. Gallaudet of Hartford. 1t is illustrated by
excellent portraits of both these gentlemen, and
by views of the school buildings. There are
many other good articles. This magazine has
constant tendency to grow better and better
The GALAXY, for April, opens with a paper
by Justin Mccarthy on "Charles Reade" An
thony Trollope gives US several new chapters of
"The Eustace Diamonds aud the story of eff
teen Years Shakeress,' is concluded Gideon
Welles furnishes a paper of interest to politi-
clans, on Lincoln and Jefferson, Their Plan of
Reconstruction and Resumption of the National
Authority" Stories by J. ". DeForrest, Rebecca
Harding Davis, "The Neither Side of New York"
by Edward Crapsey, Poetry, Drift Wood Scien-
tiic Miscellany, etc., are all fresh and attractive
reading,
