gust number of Frank LeSLie's Sunday Maya
zine, written expressly for its pages.
OF the twenty-five essays of which "Vig-
nettes From Nature" by Grant Allen, is
composed, there is not one which does not
bear the impress of original thought and in
innate knowledge OF natural history. 1t ia
a most entertaining and instructive book.
The author possesses that genuine feeling for
nature which makes a mind find unfailing
delight not only in what is grand and i'm
posing, but in the lowliest objects that meet
the eye in ramble afield. 1t is No. 80 OF
the Humboldt Library. The work affords
most delightful summer reading. For sale

In the North American Reeiew for July. the
leading article is a profound and sympa-
thetic study of Emerson as a Poet" by
Edwin P. Whipple. The author has scarcely
a word to say about forms and modes OF ex-
preston, and cheerfully comedies that Emer-
son has command only of two or three
metres; but he brings all the resources of
his extraordinary critical acumen to prove
that seer, as one who has intuition of
the deeper truths of nature and the moral
universe, in short, as poet in the highest
sense of the word, Emerson must take rank
with the greatest geniuses of all time. In
Hydraulic Pressure in Wall Street,"
writer who witholds his name but who man.
ifestly is no novice, exposes many OF the
tricks and devices by means of which fcti-
tious values are created, and the unwary
lured daily to ruin. Desire Charnay con-
tributes the eleventh article in the series on
1.-THE Ruins of Central America" and re-
cords the browning triumph of his exploring
expedition, namely, the discovery of a great
ruined city in the hitherto UNEMPLOYED coun-
try of the Lacandones, Guatemala. There
are two papers on the civil service question;
one, "The Things Which Remain" by Gail
Hamilton, who labors to relieve the civil
service from the aspersions cast upon it on
account of Guiteau's crime; the other, 1.-THE
Business of Office Seeking" by Richard
Grant White, who forcibly portrays the
moral ills that come from the perennial
struggle for place. Finally, Francis Marion
Crawford, son of the eminent American
sculptor, writes of "False Taste in Art" and
indicates certain directions in which art
culture might be developed under the condi-
tions OF life existing in the United States.
