A STORE of good things are contained
in the June number of the ATLANTIC
MONTHLY, and it does credit, as usual,
to Mr.. Aldrichs taste in selection. The
third and last act of Henry James's clever
dramatization of "Daisy Miller is con-
tanned in it, and also the conclusion of
Miss Saroh Toxuaff,c ccfrr
less Farmer" a contribution in her pleas
antest vein. Perhaps the most noticeable
things in the number are poem by
Whittier, "How the Women went from
Dover" stirring ballad of the old days
of Quaker persecution in New England,
and a paper entitled "Mr. Emerson in the
Lecture Room" "reminiscences of the
great thinkers lectures delivered at Har-
ward College in 1870. Charles Dudley
Warner has a travel sketch ON Monserrat,
written in his usual happy manner. Mr..
Richard Grant White contributes the first
part of an international paper, "Mr. Wash
ington Adams in England" in which he
will succeed in setting off the peculiarities
of our compatriots as they appear abroad,
as well as making some clever hits at our
British cousins. "Bridget's Story" by l..
G. Wyman, "The Biography of Two Fa-
nous Songs" by Amelia Barr a gossiping
and attractive article on liable Talk" by
f. G. Baylor, and Life in Old Siena," by
E. d. r. Blanchard, add to the variety and
general brightness of the contents, while
timely and thoughtful essays on Moral
ity in the Public Schools" and "Author-
ship in America" form the pieces de re-
S5St075ce of the number. A poem or two,
together with the usual excellent critiques
on recent books, and the well-known Con-
tributors' Club, a feature of steadily in
creasing popularity, complete a very no
ticeable number.
HOUGHTON, MIFFLIN s. CO., Boston.
THE June number of the North Aneri-
can ReCie1C opens with an article by Jo-
seph Nimmo, Jr., Chief of the Treasury
Bureau of Statistics, on American Man
ufacturing Interests, in which is given
slngularly full and instructive historical
sketch of the rise and progress of manu-
factures in the United States, together
with very effective presentation of their
present condition, and of the agency of
tariff legislation in promoting diversified
industries and encouraging the inventive
genius of the people. Should this authors
advocacy of protective legislation prove
distasteful, the reader finds the needed
corrective in an article by the Hon. VIM.
M. Springer, on Incidental Taxation,
which is an argument for Free Trade.
ID. c. Gilman, President of Johns Hopkins
University, writes of the Present Aspects
of College Training, as affected by the
increase of wealth and luxury, the devel-
opment of natural science, and the inf1u-
ence of larger religious liberty. Edward
Self presents some weighty considera-
tions on the "Abuse of Citizenship, as
exhibited in the Vaccinations of the dy-
namitistS against a friendly power, in
disregard of the obligations of American
neutrality. Prof. Isaac L. Rice criticises
some of Herbert Spencer's Facts and In
ferences' in social and political science,
and Christine Nilsson contributes "a
Few Words about Public Singing. Fl
nally, there is symposium on "The
Moral Influence of the Drama, the par
Elephants being, on the one side, the Rev.
DR.. j. NJ. Buckley, well known as an oppo-
nent of the stage, and on the other, John
Gilbert, the actor; A. M. Palmer, theatri-
cal manager; and William Winter, dra-
matte critic. so cents a number; $5
