HARPER'S MAGAZINE

For February, 1682.-The two most
interesting articles in the present num-
Der are an account of Henry Irving, the
actor, by Joseph Hatton, and some re-
collections of Daniel Webster, by John
H.B. Latrobe. The latter article can
be profitably supplemented By an essay
on Daniel Webster, by Henry Cabot
Lodge, in this mouths "Atlantic. J"
"Our Neighbor, Philadelphia" is an
illustrated sketch, historical and gee
graphical, and we have Mexico again
social and political, with the authors
conclusion that Mexico has latterly
made great progress, and, with projected
railroads completed, will make yet
greater. A very good article is Que on
French political leaders. illu strated in
part by G.. s. Reinheart. "Anne, a
Novel, is the only serial and that draws
to an end, and becomes tragic as 1T does
SO. 1t is a story of much power throug-
out.
''The Century Magazine" February,
1882. The Century has dropped the
subtitle of "Scribner's" and comes to
us in its promised new cover, or rather
in one of its four new covers by Vedder,
the "Midwinter'' one, which is very
effective piece of artistic work, and
grows into ones liking more rapidly
than at first sight seems possible. The
frontispiece is a portrait of George w.
Cable. He is young man yet-thirty-
seyen-a strict Presbyterian, an ex-Con-
federate soldier, personally "smallr
slight aud fragile-looking, with dark
hair and beard and hazel eyes" He has
an enviahle literary career before him
and it is to be hoped his limitations will
not be found in Louisiana creole life.

the title of Brother Stolty's Beat" is
described by FL. H. very pleasantly and
| well. Another study of Webster is
by w. A. Wilkinson, it is short and
not at all satisfactory. This is the
Webster centennial year. He was
born in 1882, and every magazine sooner
or later will contain an estimate of thai
statesman, much OF which may be prof
table reading to its successors ut Wash
inCIon, especially the small desire now
shown TO palliate or conceal the vices Of
the man. We commend "Esmeralda, 8
