Periodicals.
| The Galary for October contains the con-
Guiding chapters Of Mr.. McCarthy's novel,
"Lindley Rockford" also Of General Gus
ter's "I.ife ON the Palms." and General
Reclus's sketch of Marshal MacMahon. 1t
contains only one love story, very good
one by J. T. Mckay. Mr.. Richard Grant
White has linguistic article under the odd
title Of 'Popular Pie;" another somewhat
bizarre title IS "The Loadstone Of Love-"
which Mr.. Junius Henri Brown has chosen
to place at the head of his very interesting
article on magnetic women. Caught by
Kuhleborn," is spirited sketch, by Rose
Terry Cooke, of a trip to New England.
Gig Leaves and French Dresses" is a
pleasant, gossipy article on dress and So
ciety, enlivened by anecdotes, by Mrs.
Hooper. The most prominent articles in the
number are the sketch of MacMahon by
General Reclus, and a carefully written, tenn
perate article upon Communism and the
School of Henri Rochfort; which seems to
be from the pen of a Spaniard, if we may
by the signature.
We find in the GALAXY two poems,
''The Piper and "Armida," which rise far
above the level of ordinary magazine poetry.
In the Departments of Literature and Mis-
cellany the usual variety of books and sub.
jects is discussed. Something is said about
New York theatres and French opera, some
anecdotes are told, and, Of course, an allu-
sion has to be made to the Beecher-Tilton
misfortune but it is wholesome remark
which even blushing maidens may read. The
Department of Science has its usua! record
of investigation and discovery in that branch
of knowledge.
81. Nicholas for October opens with a
bright story by Mrs. r. II. Davis, which is

Rideing has one of his admirable practica
articles called "Our Lighthouses and Blight
ships" which is full of interesting pictures
drawn by Moran, Perkins, Runge, and Other
noted artists. The serials, ''Fast Friends,
byJ. T. wbridge, and "What Might Have
Been Expected" by Frank r. Stockton, are
concluded. We notice that the Letter Box
and that quaint fellow, -in-the-Pulpit, -
are unusually brilliant this month.
Four full-pages pictures embellish the
October Atdine, a number which CLOVIS with
all the beauty and richness of the season
supassing each gifts predecessors. a tinted
page by J. d. Woodward represents WOOD
and river scene in the fall Of the year, wher
