ssDACK-LOG STUDIES"

In this unique series of papers, now appearing
in SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY, Mr.. Warner,
thor of my Summer in q Garden is doing his
best work. Here we have-in q pleasant fiction
of a talking group in front of an old-fashioned
country -philosophic suggestion, sar-
casm that smiles, not sneers, bright bits of de-
scription, social out-loobs-and, enlvening all,
fresh, scrisp yet juicy'' and delicious humor.
BACKLOG STUDIES have been quickly APP
preciated by the press. The New York Times
says that these sketches, "for light, airy, but
genuine delineations of character, have rarely
been surpassed by any writer of the present
day." The Boston Transcript says that "tor
delicacy of tonch, quaint sentiment, and quiet
humor, BACKLOG STUDIES are the best of
things in their way The Nation thinks that
BACKLOG STUDIES No. III ''renews and
increases the evidence given in his previous pei
formances that we have in him humorist of
real merit" Writing of one of these papers,
the N. Y. Mail says it is the 'best thing he has
written, and the best thing in its way any
American or English magazine has had for many
q day. and the Boston Commercial Bulletin
says: NBACK-LOG STUDIES constitute de-
cided hit in magazine literature" Another of
these delightful papers will appear in the April
number of SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY, which
will be for sale by all booksellers and newsdeal-
ers. VI a year, So cents a number.

from the Enquirer of to-day:
"There are a great many people in Rich

they have done enough for the place in hav-
ing been born in it. 1t is a debt which the
city will never be able to repay. The State

The practice of interviewing all the
''old fossils" of the country to ascertain
how they stand on the "white hat" ques-
ton, is becoming so universally prevalent
that the thing may be considered as run
into the ground. The last effort of this
kind is too good, however, to be lost
but still, as will be reen, it follows the
general rule of running the thing into the

THE terrible calamity which seems to
have befallen the seal fishery of Newfound-
land, by the fierce storm and ponderous ice
foes of the Labrador coast, cammitting the
most fearful havoc and death among their
fleet, is altogether the most disastrous on
record. The telegraphic account of the
disaster, which we published yesterday,
has some of the features of a specializing
canard, and we hope it may prove to be
nothing worse. Such a sweeping loss of
life and property as that alleged to have
occurred, is the virtual wiping out of the
whole seal-fur business for the season, and
is we'll nigh incredible from the meager ac-
count given of the terrible effect of the
storm and ice-h6e. til to be hoped that
further accounts, and those more satisfacto-
rly authenticated, may place the destruc-
ton of life and property at more credible
figure.

ALREADY is the effect of the national
and just course taken by our government
upon the supplemental article to the treaty
felt in connection with our bonds abroad,
and American securities are firmer and in
more demand now than they have been for
some time past. The English papers are
unanimous in commencing our course Of
action, and the London Telegraph sums
the matter up in the following words, the
truth of which is patent to every unpreju-
diced reader "America has proved that
she prefers justice to national vanity. The
love of honest dealing and mutual concilia-
ton exhibited by both England and Amer
lea promise we'll for the future of the

THE Philadelphia Press says that out of
one hundred and sixty-two weekly Repub-
lican journals published in Pennsylvania,
and received at that office, only five advo-
cate the election of Greeley and Brown.
"a few Others, y it continues, fare waver-
ing, and express no opinions, but the great
body of the Republican press, and nearly
all the influential journals, either fly the
Grant banner or are wholly committed to
his denomination" The Press knows of
but one Democratic paper in the State that
hoists the Greeley and Brown standard,
while four-ffths of the weeklies favor the
nomination of straight-out candidate at
Baltimore, and very nearly all urge this
action upon the party. The York, Berks,
Centre and other strong Democratic coun-
ty organs threaten to bolt before swallow
ing the Greeley pill.
