Messrs. Lee G Shepard have just published
new volume of travels through our sister
republic, entitled Mexico, Picturesque. Po-
ltical, Progressive" the joint work of Mrs.
Mary Elizabeth Blake, of Boston, and Mrs.
Margaret F. Sullivan, of Chicago. Both
ladies have attained high position in Amer
lean literature, and each has distinct indi-
viduality of her own. Their observations
during their journey were confined to no one
| thing, but were close thoughtful and universal.
There is in the book market so little of
| standard character relating to modern Mexico
that a well-written, weil-tligested work on
that subject will meet With hearty welcome.
The people of the United States. as a whole,
are none too well informed as to the history
government and present social and political
condition of the Mexican republic; nor have
they any adequate idea of the country itself
of its picturesque scenery, its architectural
peculiarites, its climate, its methods of travel,
and its thousand and one characteristics which
make it so thoroughly fore gn to jewellers on
this side the border. The writers of this in
| ,eresting volume give correct and vivid
| picture of what they themselves have seen
and studied. 1t is work that will be found
of general interest. For sale by J. F. Pierce.

Charles Dudley Warner has much to say in
behalf of Cincinnati and Louisville. He
found them charming cities, not without
draw backs. but. on the whole, highly civil
lied. His description of the cooperative
labor experiment at Ivorydale is most inter
esting. The whole world ought to be inter-
ested in it. There are member of other in
