that the most prolific caus- of the delicate

Colonels S;ark and Reed. They were
posted on the left wing, behind fence
from which they cut down whole ranks
Of the British rs they advanced up the

on that day; and, probably, other troop.

In the September GALAXY Albert Rhodes
has a readable and suggestive criticism on
modern French plays, and Junius Henri
Browne contributes an entertaining bio
graphical sketch of Madame Rattazzi, one
of the most remarkable women of Europe,
who from being queen of the demi-monde
became the wife of the great Italian states
man Rattazzi, and has attained very brill
liant literary reputation. There is also the
first of several papers hpon General Sher-
mans memoirs, Of which a very high gen.
eral opinion is expressed. a notable paper
OF the number is review of Tennyson's
drama "Queen Mary" by II. James, Jr.
The two serials by Justin Mccarthy and
Mrs. Edwards are matters of course, and
the inevitable Richard Grant White con-
tributes a paper on 1.-THE Spelling of the
Future" in which takes issue with those
persons who are anxious to reform our
spelling. There are other articles of merit
and the editorial departments are full and
entertaining.
