LITERARY NOTES.

|
In the North american ReUisu for April is note
worthy article by Judge A. W. Tourgee, in which the
professed reformers of the civil service put the
defensive and their schemes of pronounced to
be Incompatible with American ideas of selfgovern-
ment, and on divers other grounds inadmssble and
| impracticable The same number of the Rcuieao
tans under the fanciful ttle 1.-The Thing that Might
Be-" profoundly philosophical study of the laws and
conditions of human progress, by the Rev. Mark Pat
tison Rector of Lincoln College, Oxford. The third
article is strong defense of the Roman Catholic side
| of the controversy about religion in the Public
School, from the pen of Bishop McQuaid, of Roches-
ter The great problem of the governmental control
monopolies is discussed with reference to railway
management by the Hon. George Tickner Curtis, who
contends that when railway company is incorporat-
ed by any State it agrees to this much and more
that its property shall be subject such legislative
control the act of incorporation embraces to the
exercise of the taxing and police of the State
and to the of eminent domain. The same prob
lem, in its bearing upon telegraph lines is ably dis
cussed by the Hon. VIM. NJ. Springer. Mr.. John
Fiske has article The Historic Genesis of Pro-
testantism, and Mr.. Anthony Trollope, essay on
the Poet Longfellow. Mr. Desire Charnay, the author
of the series of the ruined cities of Central
America, has for more than two months been pursu-
ing his researches in regions remote from all avenues
of communication with the civilized world, and con-
sequently neither the present number of the ReueU
nor the one last preceding it contains any conribu
tion from him. In the May number, however, will be
published another of his very instructive papers.
