Bldck1ooOdS Magazine for Febru airy con-
tains an article, In Memoriam, upon Lord
Lytton, which will be perused with great
| interest, inasmuch as it gives some person
al details derived from thirty yea s. in TINA
| cy and business dealings with him. We
| learn from it that his last work, "Kenelm
Cbillingly," was left completed, and that,
only few hours before the sudden attack
which ended in his unexpected death, Lord
| LyttOn had sent off TO Messrs. Blackwood,
the Edinburgh publishers, the conclusion of
"The Parisians,' that very able novel of
French society in the closing years of the
late Empire which has been the principal
| serial in Bldck,oO0dS Magazine for some
months. From some caprice, probably
that which made him publish "Godolphin''
and "Ihe Coming Race" without his name
on the title-page, Lord Lytton kept the au-
thorship Of 1.-THE Parisans' thorough Sc
cret, which did not transpire until after his
death. "a True Reformer," the other Sc
rial in BlGckloood, is improving-there is a
change of Ministry, and Capt. West, the
hero of the tale, is advanced to the charge
of the administration of the British War Of
fee, which, it is safe to predict,h will again
attempt to reform, and again be defeated.

about as much genuine information as all |
the other Fashion Mag szines put together. |
