l should imagine that Miss Cleveland
had but little time for literary work
since her association with Mrs. Reed q
| female seminary in New York. Her
duties there are exacting, and if she is,
az Is commonly reported and under
stood, to assume the entire control and
management of the school during next
season, al her leisure time is doubtless
devoted to acquiring thorough kDowl-
eCge of the workings of leading
seminary for young ladies. Miss Cleye-
land enjoys her residence in New York.

That clever and lively journal, Life,
has lost its undoubtedly brightest con-
tributor in Mr.. John K. Bangs, who has
just left the associate editorial chair oc-
cupied by him for over four years. A !
goodly number of the wittiest para
graphs that appeared in Life we're from
Mr.. Bangs pen, and much of the repu-
tstion which the journal has earned
throughout the country is directly
traoeable to the work of this clever
young humorist. He strove unceas-
lngly for the success of his paper, and his |
bright Jokes, with " ere always charac-
terized by their snap and freshness, will |
be missed by many Life reader. MIR.
