vice. with profuse illustrations, describes
the working of this valuable corps on the
sea coasts and the northern lakes. 1.-The
Wilson Industrial School and Mission is
an account of philanthropic movement
in New York City. "Henry Irving at
Home" illustrates the home life in London
of this once favorite actor Commercial,
Social and Political Mexico is an instruc-

interesting contributions are 1.-The Ro-

where it was written Immediately after the
receipt of the news of the Presidents
death.
The Century, for February, has new
design for the cover of the midwinter

trait of Geo. w. Cable, rising Southern

numerous engravings Brother Stolzs

Age of Sculpture" an essay on Daniel
Webster" and the use of " The Superla-

The February Californian is larger than
the January number, and is one of the
best yet issued. 1t is the first illustrated
number, and unless that department can
be improved, we hope, for the good name
of the magazine, that it will be the last.
Capt. Hooper begins very interesting &C
count of The Cruise of the Cornia." Two
of the illustrations accompanying it are
passable, but the others are simply afro
in time, but we are sure the readers of the
Californian would rather have none at all
than such as are published with the pres
ent number. 1.-The Sweet Chestnut" a
study of the varieties of this tree, is also
illustrated. "A White Medicine Man is
an interesting and peculiarly Western
sketch of white man who made his home
among the California Inians, and rose to in
fuence among them. Gaspar Francia" is
short biography of this little known Par
aguayan despot-a second Nero. In the
table of contents will also be found How
Beliefs are Made" "Shall Foreigners
Vote" which is answered in the affirmative,

Geijer, poet whose writings did much to
mold the style of Swedish literature "One
of the World Builders by Joaquin Mil
Ter, is concluded, and "At Cobweb and
Crusty's is continued. Two other short
stories, Janey" and "a Sotoyome Even
ing" are excellent.
The atlantic for the current month opens
with poem by Whittier, entitled 1.-The
Bay of Seven Islands" "Some Traits of
Bismarck" is study of the peculiarities
of the gruff andwise old chancellor. There
are two other life studies, one of Daniel
Webster, the other of Richard Grant
White, the noted American journalist and
writer "Studies in the South" is what
its name implies it to be, series of obser-
vations in the Southern States. "The
Refunding Bill of 1881" and "Origin Of
Crime in Society" are two other papers
well worth reading.
The first article in Lipincott's, entitled
"On the Gulf Coast" is descriptive of
scenes at Pensacola and other places along
