Inc subject Oh AT, winch inc PUBIC
expects to find treated, In some form,
In every number Of Scribner, IL repre-
scented In the July number by two
papers, by Mr.. w. G. Brownell. One
OF these is the third of the series on
1.-THE Younger Painters Of America"
with consideration or illustration Of
the work Of Mr.. Sargent, Mr.. Bunce,
Mr. Maynard, Mr.. Tiffany, Mr.. Volk,
Miss Oakley, Mrs. Whitman, Miss Bar
tol, Miss Knowlton and Miss Cassatt.
The other discusses the much talked
of Decoration In the Seventh Regi-
ment Armony," and IL accompanied
by numerous and detailed drawings
by Mr.. Brennan of the principal de-
signs I'm the Veterans Room and the
Library-the work Of an association
Of artists which is likely to have q
decided influence upon interior decor
alton in this country. Politics is rep
resented by q first paper on "The Peo-
pies Problem" by Albert Stickney,
Esq, aSkhor of "A True Republic"
The writer considers the Boss system
and the Machine from q historical
point, and with vigor and originality.
He does not prophesy smooth things.
but shows up American politics in q
very amusing and alarming way. In
succeeding papers he will give some
suggestions looking toward q remedy
for the present state Of affairs. In fic-
ton there are the concluding parts of
Mr.. Cables "Madame Delphine," and
Mr.. Howells' Fearful Responsibility
and second installment of humorous
folklore Of Georgia, under the title of
"A Rainy Day with Uncle Remus"-
the fables being entitled, "Mr. Rabbit
secures Mansion''-"Mr.L Lion hunts
for Mr.. Man, and finds him'-'Mr.
Benjamin Ram. and his wonderful
Fiddle"-"Mr. Rabbits Riddle"
"Dr. Dollinger and the old Catholic
Movement I'm Germany" is treated
candidly by Prof. George p. Fisher, Of
Yale College, and the fine portrait Of
Dollinger, by Lenbach. is engraved by
Fred Juengling, the size of the Scrib-
ner page. An illustrated paper Of spec
ial interest is '"rhe Sea-HOrse'' (walrus)
by Henry w. Elliott, who was the first
TO discriminate the Atlantic from the
Pacific species, and who writes from
intimate personal knowledge OF his
subject. Ofparticular interest to Phila-
delphia Is Mr.. Maurice F. Egan's &c
count of "A Day in the Ma'sh"-such |
being the local name for the swampy |
resorts Of rail and reed birds on the low |
er part Of the peninsula between the
Delaware and Schuylkill river. The
field Is one entirely new to the maga- |
zines, and the picturesque and sporting |
aspects oft are fully treated by writer |
and artists. "An Old Virginian," by
John Esten Cooke, is study of the
courtly type Of the F. F. w., which,
he says, is rapidly passing into history. |
Railway, Church-yard, and Cemete-
ry Lawn-Planting" Is brief and sug- |
gestive illustrated paper by Samuel
Parsons, Jr. Perhaps the most popu-
lar paper in the number is Mr.. Muir
frees illustrated and descriptive &C
count of the Levees of the Mississippi" |
"A topic which Is just now of special |
moment to the central and southern
sections of the country. The writer,
does not deal with the eco
nomic or scientific sides of the subject |
but with the "big water of 1884," the
practical construction of the levees,
a crevasse, etc.
In the departments, which have the
usual amount and variety, mention
may he made of q discussion Of COOP
Grafton, by a reviewer who thinks
America an unfavorable field Tor II,
sketch Of old New York Bohemianism,
and accounts of an improved system
of ventilation, gas fuel, combined pillow
and harrow, etc. Some "Sonnets
from the Afgbanese" appear in "Bric-
a-Brac."
