nificent triumph of American pictorial
art and literary genius" The English
publisher of Scribner has telegrapned for
lT,00O copies of the present number.-an
advance of {, 900 upon his orders last year,
and the largest edition OF an American
magazine ever sent TO England;-in fact,

sales of any English magazine. The
American edition of Scribner has grown
during 1880 about &c. 900 copies.

tes, or condensed novels, instead of q
serial story. "A Fair Barbarian" the
story of piquant American girl in Eng
land, by Mrs Frances Hodgson Burnett.

run through three issues. Since the death
of George Eliot it may be said that Mrs.
Burnett commands a larger English
speaking audience than any other woman.

George w. Gable. author of "The Gran
dissirnes." ETC.. and afterward Boyesens
Queen Titania" will be published. "Pe-
ter the Great, Eugene Schuyler's histori
