SCRiBNER FOR MARCH.

The March SCRIBNER opens bril-
lian,ly with the long expected article
on 1.-THE Tile Club Afioat," recording
its summer excursion in q canal-boat
from, New York to Lake Cham
plain. There are thirty-nine illustra-
tons by members of the club, chiefly
rejecting the spirit of jollity which
has made this association of less than
twenty members conspicuOusly popu-
lar ameng artists and literary men.
The interior decorations of the boat,
characters Of the tow to which it was
attached on the Hudson, the incidents
by the way, life and scenes OH the
tow-path, the personnel and the do
nestle life of the club itself, are among
the subjects of serious or humorous
delineatiOn.

contains stirring account OF the
memorable riot of the Streltsi or SOL
diery. in the early part of Peters
reign. Mr.. Schuyler's style is admirs-
bly, adapted to narrative. being clear
and vigorous, and free from whimsi-
cality; he il not q mere translator of

Opesi decided and original opinions.
