APPLEToNs' JOURNAL for July opens a
new volume with American novelette, by
Albert Rhodes, entitled ga Bit of Nature
All magazine readers are familiar with Mr..
Rhodes as an essayist, but as novelist he
comes in new guise to many of his ad-
admirers. ga Bit of nature is thoroughly
of the soil; it is fresh in character and stu
alton, and will be welcomed specially by
readers who are wearied of the stereotyped
phases of the English novel. A short story
in the number, which is almost long enough
to be called a novelett, entitled ''Sam,'' is a
tale of mining-life from new hand, who
ventures upon domain supposed to belong
peculiarly to Bret Harte, with success
that amply justifies the audacity. s'Sam''
is given as from the pen of E. A. Revorg.
The name is new, but the story is worthy
of veteran hand The number opens with
an illustrated article entitled the ''Rose of
New England" which is not paper on
Juno's flower as it fiourshes in bleak
Yankee-land, as many will doubtless sup
pose, but an eminently interesting paper on
Norwich, Connecticut, which is dubbed by
this handsome title. DR.. Coan takes up
Ruskin's ''Fors Clavigera, " and succeeds in
illustrating, by various extracts, accom-
panied with explanations, just what it is
that Ruskin proposes in his reform move
ment-to accomplish-a service which not
few persons who have been greatly con-
fused in this matter will welcome. Edward
King has charming paper from Paris en-
titled 'Paris and May" Julian Hawthorne
continues his "Out of London series, and
there are various other articles; while the
editors throws to the public topic discus
sion in proposing that the next Worlds
Fair shall be held in New York, in 1881,
ard selects Governors Island, in the har-
Dor, as place just fitted by its situation for
such an exhibition.
