LITERARY NOTICES,

When new drama has proved successful. 1t is Gus
toary for the audience to cal the author before
curtain. They have a curiosity see what sort of
man is that created the play that amused and
structcd them. There is something very much like
this in regard to great newspapers; their edto-
rial utterances all anonymous, is gen
orally a tradition of some half-shadowy nersonage
who has established the Journal given its charac-
ter, and constantly directs and the public like to
have him come before the public and then, to ad-
dress them in his own person. This Murat Halstead,
OF the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, has done in
the March number of the North American Review,
to which he contributes article 1.-The Revival
OF Sectfonalfsm." In the same number Archdeacon
Farrar presents his views on Future Retributieno
and Prof. N. K. Davis discusses The Moral Aspects
of fVivisecton, in way that ings together briefly
nearly everything that of note has said
the subject. Max Muller describes the astonishing
ideas of the Buddhsts on the subject of Charity and
George John Romanes opens up a great subject with
an article on mind in Men and Animals.' The 9TH
er articles by President Gilman on Titles
(chiefy scholastic), one by Judge John A. Jameson
on Speculation in Poltic," and one by John w.
Johnston on Railway Land-grants.H
The Atlantic Monthly for March is an unusully
spirited number. DIR. Holmes here definitely opens
his New Portfoio' which is exceedingly engaging,
Beside the three serials by Mrs Oiphant, Miss Jew
EFT, and Craddock, which continue to increase in
terest there several papers which value to
thoughtful readers. The chief of these sketch by
Clara Barnes Martin, called 1.-THE Mother of Turge-
nef" which gives curious account of the early in
huences which surrounded the great novelist, and
strikingly vivid but not altogether pleasing picture
of Russian home-life fifty years ago. Two scholarly
articles, Thine in Shakespeare's Comedies by Hen
ry A. Capp and 1.-The Consolidation of the Colopies
by Brooks Adams an almost painfully realistic story
by Bishop called THE Brown-Stone Boy" and a de-
ghtful Mexican travel paper, with the grateful title
of "A Plunge into Summer" by Sylvester Baxter
complete the longer articles of the number. The
tinuation of the papers Madame Mohl must not be
forgotten There BESIDES four really good poems,
and anciful little article by Edith NJ. Thomas is so
poetical in feeling that 1t naturally takes its place
among the poetry. The usual careful book reviews
and short notices, together with the Contri
Club (Which contains criticism of MIR. Wattss pic
tures) close this attractive issue. Houghton, Miin
