MGR. CAPEL, the big gun in England, has
been interviewed by Mr.. Jennings, who in
the correspondence of the New York World
describes him as claiming that the Catholics
are making converts to an appreciable and
potential extent among the higher and gov
erning classes of England; that the High
Church or ritualistc party in the Church Of
England is naturally feeder of the Roman
Catholic Church. Mgr. Capel said, Il have
a hearty contempt for the ritualists. How
can any rational man fail to prefer Cathol-
icism to ritualism?-the religion itself to a
mere imitation Of it?" He said that he an
ticipated no immediate overwhelming conver-
sions to Catholicism; that, in fact, he ex-
pected success to follow long and assiduous
and hard labor.

Magazine Notices

TIE November number Of Harper's Magazine
is richly illustrated, and full of exceedingly in
teresting matter. II. w. Elliott who knows all
about Alaska, contributes picturesque art Gle
on that region, with twenty illustrations. Mrs.
Harriet Prescott Spofford's profusely Illustrated
paper on San Antonio deals not alone with the
almost tropical flora and the historical romance
of that region; it is also afaithful representation
of the wonderful agricultural resources of
Western Texas. T. Robinson Warner con-
tributes an exhilsrating illustrated article on
Yachting in Blue Waters. By no means the
least interesting article in the number is
Olive Logan's narrative of Houdin's re-
markable career as prestidigitateur.
His most wonderful tricks are explained
and illustrated. Mr.. Blackmore's "Erema" is
concluded in this number.
Mrs. General Fremont begins in this number
short series of photographed papers-a
narrative of her California experiences twenty
years ago. In this first paper we have some
very interesting glimpses of tho scenes amid
which her early years were passed in st. Louis,
Washington and New Orleans.
Very interesting and timely are the sketches
of social life among the miners Of Scranton,
contributed by Phoebe E. Gibbons, the an thor
of pennsylvania Dutch"
The editorial departments, with their social
gossip, scientific and literary intelligence, his
