Magazine Notices

The atlantic for August contains as mucb
leasant and profitable reading as could well be
accommodated on its one hundred and twentv.
ven pages. Harriet W. Preston opens the
Imber with The Arthuiad. She reviews the
legends of King Arthur, their accumulation by
Sir Thomas Mallory, and Tennyson's use of
:siaem very thoroughly, Jerusalem is the title
of Charles Dudley Warmers contribution and
is an inimitable account of his visit TO the
Holy City. The vi and VII chapters of Hem
ry James Jr's story, The American, more
than sustain the interest already aroused
among Its eager readers. A discussion of that
important question, The Division of School
Funds for Religious Purposes. by William
Harris is able and opportune. The XIII chan
ter OF Old Woman's Gossip by Frances Anne
Kemble continues IN the same charming, conf
dental vein. Chattanooga, by o. o. Howard:
Dickens and the Pickwick Papers, by Edwin
p. Whipple; From the Purple Islands, by
Lucy Ellen Guernsey; characteristics of the
International Fair, by w. D. Howells; are all
admirable in their way. j. M. Rogers. Elinor
Gray, j. f. Bingham, Mrs. S. NJ B. Piatt and
II. HI. are the contributors of the poetry, and
while there is nothing particularly striking in
this department the verses are very fresh and
dainty. The leaves that contain the book no
tlces are the ones first cut by the veteran read
er OF the Atsdntec, and he is seldom disappoint-
ed-certainly not this month. Among the
books reviewed are notably Emerson's Letters
and Social Aims translated into German, and
favorable notice of Morse's Life of Alexander
Hamilton. The art, music and education de-
partments are creditably filled. New York:

The SiOnx War i'm the House of Com
mons,


LONDON, July 21.-In the Commons this
afternoon Sir Edward William Watkin asked
James Lowther one of the under secretaries
for the Colonial Department, if he could give
auy information regarding the conflict between
the United States troops and the Sioux Indians
many of which tribe are British SUBJECTS and
whether the origin of the conflict was not a
breach OF a treaty regarding the Indian reser-
vation and subsidies, which may provoke wide
spread antagonism between the Indians and
whites, on both American and British territory.
He asked whether the government proposed
to tender its good offices in the interest Of the
Indian subjects of Great Britain and of
humanity.
Mr.. Lowther replied that so far no informa
tion had been received regarding the conflict,
and he could not express an opinion as to its
origin and possible consequences. He had no
information tending to show that any British
subjects are connected with these events, and
as az present advised the government has no
