TIE magazines for June are unusually
interesting and instructive. ScribneI'S has
a variety Of articles among which is
SCHOOLS of Journalism" by Whitelaw Reid
formerly "Agate" of the Cincinnati Ga
zette-the present managing and leading
editor of the New York Tribune. It is the
same essay read in the university Of New
York, that at or ce attracted so much atten-
ton that its preservation is now better pre-
served than it was heretofore, and its acces-
sibility made easy to the cultivated.
''Northward to Niagara" by James Rich
ardson, contains Illustrations of scenery and
incidents in Pennsylvania and New York.
The illustrations are very truthful and no
doubt, so are the incidents. As in politics
and social life there are new departures in
troduced, so in the fine arts it is proposed
to have some changes and to
this end there is an article by Ford Mad
dox Brown with an illustration of the
author. DAT the Gates" by Mrs. Oliphant,
is continued, as are also the productions of
other popular authors. ssThe Advance of
Population in the United States" is not
only of value for future reference, but ought
TO be read with interest. "Etchings" are
good. The young will purchase the maya

lady who does it she will know what to do,
if she did not naturally know how to do il
before, to please her male cousin or some
one else of the masculine gender. The
contributed and editorial papers altogether
cover a remarkably wide range.
The illustrations in LippincOttS are q
feature in many respects. They are not only
clear and attractive to the eye, on account
of the carefulness ofthe pressWork, but en-
body truthful pictures Of "Sc7ambles
amongst the Alps" by Edward Whymper.
"Constantinople," by F. W. Holland, is
handsomely Illustrated. "The Strange Ad-
ventures of Phaeton," by Vim. Black, is
a continued story. "Pierre ROnsard," his
torical, by Kate Hillard, is not only a model
of classical writing, but Of interest to all
those who, studying the French language
or others, desire to know what Ronsard did
to improve it. 'SThe Great Idea," by the
Hon. Chas. K. Tuckerm4n, the late
Minister of the United States at
Athens, explains the aspirations and
plans of those statesmen who are labOring
for the establishment of a Hellenic
Empire, comprising the present Kingdom Of
Greece and all those countries in South
eastern Europe inhabited by Greeks. The
article is written in a style that shows q
familiar acquaintance with the suhject IN all
of its bearings. In "London Clubs,o by
Reginald WYnford, will be found very en-
PERTAINING and vivid sketch Of the character
and pursuits of the great clubs of the Eng
lish metropolis. Its author appears to
write from an extended personal experience.
There are two poems in the present num-
Der of Lippincott's, "Carcassonne," from
the French Of Gustave Nadaud by John K.
Thompson, and always" Florida Lyric,
by W. w. Harvey. Both are agreeable
Productions.
The GALAXY opens with a timely article
by Justin Mccarthy on "Sir Charles Dixie
and the English Republicans" in which
that clever essa5 list draws a spirited picture
of the leading Republicans Of England.
"The Woman Movement in Wyoming" is
by Gen. Edward NJ. Lee, who held high
position in the young Territory when the
franchise was given to women, and hence
is able to write of the experiment
from intimate personal knowledge. Gen.
Lee saws that sin all cases where husband and
wife happened to be summoned upon the
same jury, one or the other was invariably
excused" AID pictures where, in obedience

into court with young infant in her arms,
to serve on jury, but as the infant ad-
dressed the judge in an unknown pGtoaS,
"flling the entire courtroom with volumes
of incoherent sound" she was excused.
Gen. Lee continues: ''The court, unlike
some of its Eastern contres, would not
permit jurors to separate until after their
final agreement and discharge. At night
fall, after the days elaboration, adjacent
rooms, communicating by door, Of which
the Sheriff held the key, was pro
vided, and the women, attended by female
constabIes, occupied one apartment, while
the men disposed themselves in the other.
When morning dawned, the two sexes met
for elaboration, and so on from day to day
until final verdict was reached. 1t IS al
legged that the women passed a considerable
portion of the night season in prayerful con-
temptation of the grave responsibilities rest
ing upon them, while the men INDUCED in a
cheerful game of drdlo-pOkeI." "ModerR
Languages in the American College" is a
thoughtful essay on a subject which is just
now engaging the interest of every one who
studies our college SYSTEM. Those OF our cit
| liens who are interested in The introduction OF
the study of German in the city schools have

article on this subject. OF stories the June
Galaxy contains, besides "Faust," already
mentioned, more chapters of "The Eustsce
Diamonds" ga Case. Of Conscience" by
Ella Williams, and 1.-THE Cave Of the
Winds" by Maria Louisa Pool. The poetry
of the number is by Nora Perry, Miss Wool
