THE CENTURY FOR JULY.-Ihe
July Century opens with q frontis-
piece portrait Of Emerson from
The bust by Daniel G. French, which
il thought to be most satisfactory
representation Of the philosopher in
his later vigor. The engrayer, Mr.
Kruell, in retaining the texture Of
| the marble, has lost nothing Of the
likeness. Here is paper ON En-
erson's Personality" by Emma lar
arus, with "reminiscences, and an ed
itorial treating Of his character and
influence, -and close study of his
poetry will be the next paper in the
series Of essays by Mr.. Il. G. Sted-
| man.
The illustrated papers include two
Of decided interest at this season; a
carefully prepared and illustrated
account of "The Evolution Of the
American Yacht by s. G. w. Ben

by Col. George Il. Waring, Jr., both
fully illustrated, the latter with for
| ty-four cuts after Muybridge's pho
tographs Of running horses, the text
being popular review Of DR.. Still

and richly illustrated paper Of tray
81, by Lieut.. G. r. S. Wood, entitled
"Among the Thlinkets in Alaska.
| The conclusion of John Muiris "Bse
Pastures in California" is printed
| with illustrations by Fem; and
acute literary criticism, and an out
of-door flavor are found in an essay
by John Burroughs, on Thoreau
whose last portrait is given, engrav.
ed from tin-type which once be-
longed to his friend Emerson. This
! is one of Mr.. Burroughs most de-
lightful papers.
/ OF the uniilustrated material-th the
most prominent is the third and
last part of Thomas Carlyle's "Toul
in Ireland" which is full of hi
slap-dash, querulousness. and grin
humor. "A Great Charity Reform,
