LITERATURE.



HARpRR's MAGAZINE 0Harper e Bros,
New York. 81 year, The opening article
in the June lIapers-a description of Dew
onshlre moorland vllage-appears to be the
joint work of Mrs. John Lille, who wrote, and
of Mr.. Edwin A. Abbey, who skctched, and
the two have succeeded IN producing one of the
most pleasing papers that ever appeared in
llarpcr's, both in the charm of the writing and
the excellence of the illustrations Mr.. Abbey
in these pictures, more than sustains his rcpu.
tation as the brightest of the young men of
promise whom the illustrative art of America
Ia, brought into prominence. The next arti.
Gle, OF which the illustrations are an equally
brilliant feature is Mr.. w II. Gibsons Spring,
time" The vignctte, which introduces it, is a
marvel of delicate cutting and one of the finest
specimens of the wood engraving art the mag.
azincs have ever given us. The title of Mr.
tidclngs article on the "Working Women IN
New York" sufficiently suggests its nature,
while il gives chance for some effective pic
lures by Jessie Curtis, Rhinehart and Rogers.
The second of the series of papers on the "Old
Dutch Masters" is devoted To Albert Cuyp,
with portrait and two engravlngs from his
pictures. Another finely illustrated paper Is
that of Mr. Montgomery on the Thurlngian
Valley and It's associations with Luther. Henry
L. johnson contributes timely sketch of Cap.
tain Nathan Hale, Gpropos of Mr. Fields offer
to erect monument on the spot where Hale
was executed, if anybody can find 1t. And
lastly, of this brilliant collection Of illustrated
articles, Sherwood Bonner tops it off with a
nip of delicious humor In the story OF "ITier.
onymus Pop and the Baby" with nine charsc-
erstic pictures. Of the unillusirated papers
that by Geo. Tickner Curtis entitled The
Strong Government" will attract most atten.

Mexican Matters.

City of Mexico, Aug. l6.-Gonzales has
an absolute majority in congress. He has
nothing to do but to declare the result. The
friends of the other candidates manifested an
acquiesence, except Governor Cadena and
bis psrtisans, who are ominously silent.
1t is expected that Cadena will pronounce
against the result upon the grounds of fraud
He is governor of Zacateaca and has a well
armed, organized body of state troops. The

OF the three American companies seeking

company, @. II. Huntington at the head; the
Mexican construction company, headed by
General Palmer and Jay Gould, and the
Boston, it is stated that the government
will let the concession to the lowest bidder,
with ample securities and guarantees.
Every branch of co nmerce is improving.
Things are looking very hopeful. Mining is
looking up. The English company at Monte
Del Rev. the Skeletons, in the same district,
and at Nina Del Ora are all developing hand
sonely. Some Of the Gunaj anata and Faca-
teas mines are reported bonanzas.
1t is reported that the town of Bogoda was

THE New Orleans Picayune advises that
no excursion be invited from Texas to that
city until in November. 1t gives excellent
reasons for the delay, one being the absence
from the city at this time on their summer
vacations of SO many prominent merchants,
and another being that the dread
Of yellow fever will keep away many visitors,
although the city is at this time phenominal-
" healthy. We think the Picayune is wise
in urging the postponement of any excursion
and demonstration until November, BY which
time the amusement season will fully open
and New Orleans will be herself.
