sCRIBNERS MAGAZINE,

Scribner for March gives a pleasantly
illustrated account of the New York An
tiquariiIm, which will interest young
readers particularly. Its account OF
Princeton College, which is also illus
trated, is very good, and it will surprise
many readers to learn how admirably
equipped this old and conservative in
stltution has become under the energetic
and wise conduct of President McCosh.
Clarence Cooks illustrated paper on
household art relates particularly to beds
and tables; and General McClellan's H.
lustrated account of his winter on the
Nile is interesting rs u subject which
has been so thoroughly written about
well can be. Another illustrated article
belongs to botany. 1t relates to the
pitcher plants. and was prepared by So
ph;c b. llerrick, who not only under
stands the subject we'll, but knows how
to make other people understand it too.
The second installment of Saxc.H olm's
story has increasing interest. The
Youth of Gilbert Stuart, by Jane Stuart,
is II very good paper. Bret Harte con-
tributes Il feeling poem on the late Gen.
William Francis Bartlett, and Julius
Wilcox gives full and Intelligent en-
position Of life insurance. There are
poems by Charlotte i. Bates, who greets
Longtellow on his birthday, Feb, 9th,
and by I'll. H." who tries to say some,
thing poetical about March. DR.. Ilol-
land puts in a needed work for poetica-
education and more active and athletic
amusements, and there is the usual va
riety of fresh and crisp comments on
home, books, and society. A pretty good
number OF very interesting and popular
magazine. New York Scribner & Co.
WIDE AWAKE.
Wide Awake by name and nature is
the little magazine that comes out before
all its elder brothers, with no traces of
hurried preparations on its fair pages or
on the brilliant cover that is now red and
white instead of white and red. The
small readers of the magazine will prob
ably turn first to "Child Marian Abroad"
and read the whole story of the little
maden's visit to Nine. Tussaud's wax
works, but in II year or two they will
learn to see that the most valuable thing
in the magazine is the illustrated sketch
vi JULIUS lluSScIl lLoWcll ny CcOrHC
Lowell Austin. Besides this paper Mr..
Austin contributes the first number of
the "Wide Awake Science Club" in
which he tells the boys how to construct
a telegraph. The music department
contains Il hymn by the late p. F. Bliss,
and portrait and brief biography of the
late singer appear in another part of The
magazine. The editors hero, ''Good-ior-
Nothing Polly" seems to be OUTLYING
his name, but remains interesting, and
Sophie Mays "Quinnebasset Girl" are
fast developing their characters. The
Hudson, has pretty moral. which may
be useful to little girls who find starving
kittens in the street, and is II pretty story
Mrs. l.. C. Wilton is represented by
two poems. "AIamma's Instrucuions"and
Baby in the Crib, Thinking :" the latter
is very graceful. The little ladies who
contributed to the ''Doll's Fair" will find
their efforts acknowledged in series of
letters from the superintendent of the
several hospitals at which the dolls wero
received.

The Democracy are in the dumps.
They give up all hope of sliding
TiIden in by the Electoral Commits
sion, and are arranging for their
new campaign. Their ou!y hope
now is in an appeal to the courts,
which Tilden has determined to
make, apparently forgetting that
five members of the court will have
declared their ideas of the law in
the case while they are on the Com.
sion. THIS fight is for a purpose.
Even if TiIden is defeated they have
hopes that President Hayes can he
bull-dozed into being very liberal in
the giving of places, for the sake of
conciliating them, and healing their
bruises. The action of the Commits.
sion meets with approval from the
business men of the city, irrcspec-
tive of prrty affiliations, and the
attempt of the hot heads to go back
Of its decisions and prolong the con.
test, finds no backing. The point
