"Harper's Magazine for April contains no
very striking article, but its contents are well
varied and are mostly good. The illustrations,
which are numerous, are all good. There is
avery interesting article on the education OF
Indian children at Hampton, Va, and Car
Isle, Pa salisbury Cathedral" is a rather
stale subject to treat descriptively, and Oar
winian Diversions" is the merest tri1ing. One
would hardly expect to find paper with the
title 'Life Assurance Does Assure" under the
name of Stephen FL. Tying, Jr, but such is the
case, and he has made very able presentation
of the favorable side of the question. The
serial novels of ga Laodician," by Thos
Hard, and "Anne," by Constance Fenimore
Woolson, are continued and grow in interest
The poems are by Paul Fl. Hayne and Miss
Woolson.

Vennor has been again indicated in his
weather predictions. Several weeks ago he
placedit upon record that there would be
severe wind and snow storm on or about
the Doth ult., extending over the Northwest
and Canada. On Saturday last, the 19th
throughout Wisconsin and Illinois, and as
far West as Omaha, there was a heavy fall
of snow, and railroad and street car traffic
and telegraphic operations more or less dis
turbed. Tie storm moved from Southern
Texas towards Michigan, with big rains in
Georgia and Tennessee. Rain fell in Viz
oir,ia also, and decidedly cold wave pre-
vailed on Saturday and part of Sunday, ex-
ending over Tuesday.

The iron ores of the James River Valley are
attracting unusual attention from the capita
lists at the North, and especially in Pennsyl
vania and mineral lands are being sold at fine
plices The reason for this, apparently, is
that by controlling the ores the Pittsburg fur
naces will be enabled to dispense with the
Lake Superior iron ores, which are already so
high in price that it scarcely pays to buy them
for reduction At recent meeting of the
Engineers Society of Western Pennsylvania
a paper by Mr.. ]. D. Weeks on 'The Iron
Ores of the James River Valleys" was made
the leading subject of discussion. Pittsburg,
with its abundant cheap fuel and coarse ores,
needs in addition supply of fine ores to make
smelling profitable according to modern
methods The cost of Lake Superior ore is
three times as great as that of Cumberland
ore, and it is here that the Virginia ores come
in. Mr.. Reuben Miller said that Lake Su-
perior ore to be profitable ought not to cost
more than 81 ton, and probably not over So,
laid down in Pittsburg The Virginia ores
could be and were bought at the mines for
So so per ton, and all that Plttsburg needed
was a better railroad connection with the
newly opened Virginia and West Virginia
iron fields, which could be reached by rail
road 300 miles long. This line will be sup
piled by the building of the Shenandoah Val
ley road south of Waynesboro'. 1t will not
only bring the James River Valley ores in
direct communication but will open up min
eral section as rich if not richer than the
James River, and fifty or hundred miles
nearer market OF course, the higher the
prices of Lake Superior and Missouri fine ores
rise the greater will be the need for the prompt
development of the Virginia fields, and for the
provision of proper means of cheap trans
portation for them.

BtGckao0odS Magazine tor March, repubnshed
BY THE LEONARD SceTT PUBLISHING Co., Al
Barclay ST., n Y, is an unusually full and
interesting number.
The first article, ireland under Ordinary
Law" endeavors to show that neither the
permanent alteration of the land law, nor
coercion of temporary nature, nor both COM
bined, is likely to produce results satisfactory
do Ireland.
s'The Private Secretary" is continued, and
we have an account of the heroines family
and early life.
Recent events in Greece will make the
pleasant article, Among the Albanians Of
Southern Epirus," very acceptable, since it
presents the views of a careful observer, an.
describes the social and political condition of
the Albanians. Many readers are probably
not aware that here is society made up of
castles.
Part III. of Lady Mathis papers takes up
the character of Desdemona, and after detail
ing some of the writer's early stage exper-
fences, she gives the story of the play and
beautiful description of Desdemona as she
dreamed of her in those early days, and as
she herself represented her on the stage.
There are several articles besides these, but
we have only room to note 'Homer's Sea
Epic rendered in Ballad Measure" long re-
view, with numerous quotations, ofSir Charles
Du Canes recent translation ofthe first twelve
books of the Odyssey and 'Autobiographies

Chinese Cruelty.

"Maskee more better | de-" was
the exclamation with which q woman
greeted Mr.. Morgan, of the customs
service, as he dragged her out of dock
at Hankow, China. And she was right,
for early tho next morning she was
drowned by her two brothers-in-law,
whose previous attempt Mr.. Morgan
had frustrated. The second time, in
order TO make sure work Of it, they
took her out into the middle Of tho riv.
er in boat, pinioned her arms, fast
ened stone around her neck, attached
q line to her waist and threw her into
the river. When sufficient time had
elapsed to make it certain that she was
dead they pulled up the body by the
rope attached to the waist, took it
ashore and buried it with the usual
rites. The crime of the deceased was
stated to be that she refused to marry
an old man; she, being fine, bloom
ing widow, wanted something better.
