The midsummer holiday number of the Century is 8 very interesting number.

The article is pro fusely illustrated by w. A. Rogers. w. D. Howells, in his picturesque series on Italian cities, writes of his walks through Sienna, illustrated from Pencils etchings and pen and-ink sketches. A portrait of William Lloyd Garrison, engraved by T. Johnson from a Efe-size photograph, is the frontis- piece of the number; there is also an inter esting group portrait of Garrison, Wendell Phillips and George Thompson. His son Wendell Phillips Garrison describes the ori- gin of the great anti-slavery advocate, and his sen Francis Jackson Garrison recounts his boyhood Kenyon Cox furnishes num- Der of charming decorations and initials to Ernest Whitney's poem, f'The Glory of the Year, The papers on Typical Dogs" this month include 1.-The Water Spaniel, y s'The Collie" s'The Fox Terrier'' and ''The Scotch Deerhound."

A BOSTON NOTION.


 The new charter of the city of Boston throws the responsibility for the executive department of the city government squarely upon the mayor. The mayor, whose name is O'Brien, seems willing to take the re- sponsibility. This is the way he has dealt with the street department in letter ad- dressed to Michael Msehan, superintendent of streets: Sir: I find that the department under your charge is not conducted on busi- ness principles, that in consequence there is waste and extravaganza, and am satisfied that the interests of the city demand reor- ganization of the department under new head. For these reasons hereby remove you from the office of superintendent of streets, and direct you to deliver the property of the city in your possession to Mir. Charles Morton, now engineer in the city surveyors office, whom have authorized to receive the same.
 This move is considered good thing in Boston, and is thought to indicate tura of the tide in city affairs. The street depart ment has been, it is plain, greatly misman- aged. A part of the indictment against it is: The increase in the expenditure to the enormous sum of $1, BOG, ,00O last year, the expenditure of nearly half of this years ap- propriation in less than three months; the doubling and trebling of the num- Der of salaried clerks, formmen, sub- foremen and bosses, the more than suspicious idling or unnecessary employment of large gangs of men upon the streets, and the crowd ing of the departments with political work CTS. No charge of personal dishonesty is made against the retiring superintendent. He found the department already honeycombed with political corruption; his year of service under the old regime of election by eighty four city councilmen and immediate respons- ibility to committee of three unknown aldermen has witnessed the natural increase of the abuses; and his month of service un- der the mayor has developed in him no apti- tude for the difficult work of reform.
 This action of Mayor O'Brisn has wildly excited ''the boys," who wonder what is coming next. It is expected that all the members of the water board will soon re- ceive letters like that addressed to MT. Mee- han There is good reason for thinking they ought to. The better citizens much encouraged, and are disposed to heartily help the mayor in the work of reform which he has begun. It will be interesting to see how the Zone man power" provided by Bos- tons new charter works. It may turn out to be a very good thing for Boston and for other cities too.

There has, on the other hand, been an in crease of more than 57,000 acres in land newly planted, chiefly with the American vine. But the worst of it is that while the vineyards damaged have often been those which produced the best wine, the fresh plantations cannot be expected, at least for a long time, to yield anything but an inferior liquid. The phylloxera has, moreover, two or three powerful allies in the work of de- struction in the shape of the oidium, the an- thrachnose, and in damp seasons the mildew. For the former of these, as we'll as for the phylloxera, palliative remedies have been found; but it does not appear that the last two have yet been treated chemically with any success. The American vine is not much fancied in the better districts of Bor- deaux, but in the Herault, Ardeche, Bouches du Rhone and some other departments it's in troduction is regarded as success.

 fate,

Forever thine! amid the boistereus crowd, Where the jest sparkles with the sparkling
 wine, may not name thy gentle name aloud, But drink to thee in thought-forever thine! Forever thine, when circling years have spread Times snowy blossoms OCT thy placid brow; When youths rich glow, it's purple light is fled, And lilies bloom where roses flourish now;- Say, shall love the fading beauty best, ! Whose springtide radiance has been wholly
