The most noticeable feature of the January

The most noticeable feature of the January
Atlantic is the New Contributors Club, which
opens surprisingly we'll In this department
the editors invite all writers who have minds
upon any ethical or aesthetic subject to briefly
free them, and they especially welcome the ex-
preston of intellectual judges of every Sort
The invitation has been accepted and not
few people free their minds. Some one says
brave word for the picture called Yankee Doc
die (made so generally familiar by the chromo)
in the American department of the Centennial
exhibition, and finds in it Scion Single and
Rip Van Wrinkle animated with the spirit of
John Brown. Another, apropos of Dierdre,
thinks that Tennyson alone of all modern poets
has successfully treated middle-age pcturess
and that Morris and the others deal in brc-a-
brac. One contributor has some just criticism
on Mr.. Bret Harte. Another rebels against
the rule of George Eliot. Still another con
victs Mr. Browning of curious mistake in his
"Balaustion.' All have something noticeable
to say.
Other papers in the Magazine are not of less
interest. T. B. Aldrich under the title.
From Panapog to Pesth, begins sketches of for
eign travel, the opening one being as pleasant
reading as could be wished, as bright as Mr.
Warmers papers and possessing considerably
more body. j. B. Grenough contributes a
comedetta, The Blackbirds, which sounds like
Renaissance of Gilbert. Left is a singularly
strong story by G. P. Lathrop. Bayard Tay-
lor under the heading Weimar in June dis
courses of Goethe and refutes the common
statement in regard 10 the German poets rela
tions with women. The editor, Mr.. Howells,
writes genially and approximately of Some New
Books of Poetry, Mrs. Piatts That New World,
Aldrich's Flower and Thorn, r. K Weeks,
Twenty Poems, Bayard Taylor's Echo Club,
and Lowelps Poetcal Works. An Old
Woman's Gossip drags its SLOW length along.
and in Mr.. James story the hero loses his prize,
The poetry of the number is by Longfellow
Lowell, Stedman, Fl. H., and Bsyard Taylor.
The entertaining papers on the International
Fair come to a close The new department of
music opens with matin song by Bayard
Taylor, music by John X. Payne. The edito-
rial departments are full and excellent. In
Education an onslaught is made on the study
of Greek as pursued at Harvard, and in Music
Belocca, the Harvard Musical Association, and
Theodore Thomas Orchestra are treated of.
