The February Magazines.
SCRIBNER's MoNTHLY.-The Febru-
airy number of Scribner is an exception
ably attractive one, almost every article
being sufficient by itself to attract atten-
ton to the magazine The leading arti-
Gle is the "Tehuantepec Canal, illustra-
ted, followed by I" In and around Bang
kok," Little Miss Frere" is pretty bit
of romance; DIR. Hollands "Arthur
Bonnicastle" engages the readers whole
attention, and the youthful hero has the
sympathies of very many. Some of the
characters are very like those met in
daily life, and some are extraordinary
conceptions. The remaining articles are
fully up to the usual standard, and the
poems above it. The "Old Cabinet
contains a variety, and the etchings are
mirth-provoking. Scribner & Co., 654
Broadway, n. Y.
OUR YOUNG FoLKs-for February is
made particularly good by ]. I. Trow-
bridge, G. A. Stephens, Mrs. Samuels,
Augustus Holmes and others, and the
promises for March are attractive. J.

HARPER's MAGAzINE.-One of the
most interesting articles in the February
number of Harper is MARY, Queen OF
Scots" by Rev. Lyman Abbott This
article will be read with particular in
terest at this time of Froude" contro-
verse. The erudition and ripe scholar.
ship of Mr.. Abbott will be readily
acknowledged in this paper, which is one
of the best in the Magazine. The Serials
are gaining in interest. The poems are
good, and the editorial department un-
usually SO. Harper Brothers, Franklin
Square, N. Y.
LIPPINCoTT's MAGAzINE.--The num-
Der for February contains the conclud-
ing paper upon travels in Peru, finely
illustrated. "a glance at the Antiqui-
ties of Athens" is an exceedingly inter-
esting one also well illustrated. Caroline
Chesebro has very taking way oftelling
a story. Country house life in England

romance, "Some Glimpses of John Chi
naman," some very good poems. and
Our Monthly Gossip, etc. j. B. Lippin-

Gus as a crisp, seasonable, and in all re-
spects salutary stock of reading matter

ATLANTIC FOR FEBRUARY.-The
current number of the Atlantic is un.
usually enjoyable, Robert Dale Ovens
"Boy life in Scotland" is rich and racy
as also is Howell's Chance Acquaint-
ance," the latter being sort of sequel
to Their Wedding Journey" The
fresh sparkling description of Canadian
life and its scenery, the power to depict
men and things, at the same time; with
subtle insight of human natu.e is so
charming as to remind one of Blacks
Adventure" in Scotland, in Phae-
ton though far more charming in that
the author is so thoroughly American
and the scenes and soil American too.
There are other articles of merit
and editorial notes OF interest. Pub
lished by J. R. Osgood & Co., Boston.
