been expected with so much IN
terest, is begun, as a serial publication,
in Scribner's Monthly for November
(the beginning Of the eleventh volume
of that magazine). Gabriel Conroy"
is the title Of the story, Of which seven
chapters are here published. The scene
is in that Western country with
which Mr.. Harte has made the world
familiar, and the few who have read the
entire story in advance pronounce il
powerful work. The series ON American
Colleges begins in this number, with an
article on the old William and Mary
College, Of Virginia, by the Well-knoWn
Southern writer, John Esten Cooke.
Eugene Thomson publishes a chapter
on "The Curiosities OF LongevitV," H.
lnstrated with pictures OF celebrated
Cases" ancient and modern. Another
curious illustrated paper is by Sophie B.
Herrick on "tilass Sponges," and ''India
and iis Native Princes" are also sketched
with pen and pencil. The following
contributions should be mentioned; "Tho
