MONTHLY.
An UnrivaIed illustrated Magazine.

When SCRIBNER issued its famous Mid.
summer Holiday Number in July, a friendly
critic said of it: 1--WE are not sure but that
S%CRIBNER has touched high water-mark.
We do not see what worlds are left to it to
conquer" But the publishers do not con.
slider that they have reached the ultima thule
of excellence-they believe there are other
worlds to conquer, and they propose to con-
quer them"
The prospectus for the new volume gives
the titles of more than fifty papers (mostly
illustratedl by writers of the highest merit.
Under the head of
"FoREIGN TRAVEL"
We have "a Winter on the Nile" by Gen.
Mcclellan; "Saunterings About Constanti-
nople," by Charles Dudley Warner; "Out
of My Window at Moscow" by Eugene
Schuyler; Gan American in Turkistan,"
etc. Three serial stories are announced:
"NICHoLAs M%INTURN,"
By DIR. Holland, the Editor, whose story of
"~Sevenoaks" gave the highest satisfaction
to the readers of the Monthly.
The scene of this latest novel is laid on
the banks of the Hudson. The hero is a
young man who has been always "tied to a
woman's apron strings" but who, by the
death of his mother, is left alone in the
world-to drift on the current of life-with
a fortune, but without a purpose.
Another serial, Ellis Inheritance" by
Miss Trafton, will begin on the completion
of "That Lass O. Lowrie's," by Mrs. Hodg.
son Burnett. Mrs. Burnett's story, begun
in August, has a pathos and dramatic power
which have been a surprise to the public.
