TIE tURnsroNE eAmnLrRs.

Yankee ingenuity is equal to any emer-
gsucy. The Northern people are prolific in
resources for money-makiDg. and they are
equally as prolific in resources for put
ting down the evils which accompany
specializing schemes. The curbstone specu-
lators in theater tickets have met their Sedan
at Philadelphia. They had insugurated a
thriving business in the Quaker City. A few
men of capital organized a ring and were
making large profits by dealing in theatrical
tickets. So soon as this evil became a nuis-
ance the city authorities imposed fine OF
$500 on the spectators and passed an ordi-
nance prohibiting them from plying their
vocation within fifty feet of any place Of
amusement. The Baltimore Gazette says:
"What effect this legaliz rg the trade will
have upon it's future business we will
not stop to inquire. One thing is GER
tain, that The public has it in its own power
to break up this outside traffic in tickets if it
Is worth while to do SO. All that is necessary
to be done is that those who frequent p aces
of amusement should resolutely refuse TO
buy any tickets from these traders at any ad
vance over the regular price of sdmis-
sion. Their declining to do SO
might possibly subject them to
some annoy ance and they might be COM
pelled to return home instead of enjoying
the play or concert Not being able to gel
good secured places at the box-oficc, they
yield to the seductions of the
speculator who offers them frst-rate accom-
modations at mere trife of advance on the |
original cost, which trife, when examined,
turns out to be sbout fifty per cent. over the
regular rate. Those who submit to these ex.
actions have no right to complain of sys-
lem which their own action goes far to up |
hold. We are glad to notice that these curb
stone spectators do not flourish in Balti- |
more, and as our managers never take any
'tock in such enterprises it is not likely that
any law upon the subject will ever be neces-
'ary for the protection of the public"

LITERATURE.
HARPER's MAGAZINE.

HGrper'S Magazine for December
is exceedingly rich in illustrations
and literary attractions. The
beautiful scenery of the Columbia

contributing also the DIES criptive ar
ticle. Joseph Hatton contributes a
very interesting article. entitled
civilian Black at Home"-full of
delightful gossip about this popular
novelist, in which, indeed, the latter
seems to take part-illustrated with
pictures Of Blacks London LODI
gings, of Pastor House, his Brighton
residence, and of his yacht. Under
the title of "The Great Seaport of
Western France" Thomas w. Knox
gives a charming description of
HaYre, which is attractively illu-
strated by Reinhart and Wander
hoof. Mr.. Bishop concludes his ar
ticles on Southern California with a
description of Los Angeles, the San
Gabriel Mission, Riverside, San
Diego, and Santa Barbara beauti-
fully illustrated. Two poems by
Herrick are given, each with a full
page illustration by Abbey. Colon
ial history receives especial atten-
ton in two interesting contributions
one, illustrated by the Rev. p. D.
Hay, entitled Canoes of Colonial
Carolina" the other by Professor
John Fiske, entitled "New England
in the Colonial Period" Both ar
ticles are valuable for the pictures
which they give of social life in the
Colonial Period, but Professor
Fishes is something more than this,
since it is an admirable philosophi-
cal treatment Of the Puritan idea
and its development. In fiction,
Miss Woolson's new novel takes ma
turally the 6rst place in the readers
interest, and seems likely to hold it
to the end of her story. Blacks

Her CRIME. No Name Series Boston:
Roberts Brothers; Salt Lake: James
Dryer. Price, 81.
A new book added to a familiar
and fayorite series, is like a new
member added to a friends family.
We welcome it for the sake of the
old friend, till we learn its merits
for ourselves, The Roberts Bros.
have just issued the first volume Of
the third f'No Name Series" bear
ing the title of Her Crime" The
mo Name Series" has so many good
stories in it that when new
one is added to the list, we can not
help being pleased. One expects a
pleasure and is not disappointed.
Each of these stories is so widely
different from the others that the
reader can hardly say which is the
best. The present tale is in no way
inferior to its predecessors and can
be read with pleasure by the young
and old. The writer relates much
that is instructive and interesting
in a bright and pleasing manner.
The characters are well described
and are as marked in contrast as in
real life. The events of this story
are drawn from social, mining and
farming life, yet neither is placed
more prominently before the reader
than the plot of the story demands.
The illiterate Mrs. Castlemaine di-
verts the readers attention from
the real criminals, and what her
crime is is unknown until the clos
ing chapters. Then we can IN a
measure overlook her crime In view
of her temptations, but can hardly
forgive her for the shame and sut-
ferlngs of her husband and friends.
