Frank Lsslie's Popular Monthly
for March.

There are questions Of importance
before the American public on which
Congress must soon act or appeal TO
the sovereign people TO adopt amend
ments to the Constitution which will
meet the wants, or enable the Nation
al Legislature to do so. One of these
is the Immigration Question, and
there is timely article on the sub
ject in Frank Leslie's Popular Month
" for March. An illustrated sketch
of the late Lady Brassey and her life
on the yacht "Sunbeam" will be APP
preciated by all who enjoyed her
charming books. "Three Typical
mericans''-David Crockett, Ben
Hardin and Thomas Corwin-give
Mr.. McCann a theme which he treats
admirably. "a Finished CITY,"
what the people of Annapolis call the
Maryland capital, and its quaint old
homes and ways and by-ways, are
cleverly depicted. There lie, too,
bright sketch of EIindoo women, by a
lady who lived among them, and
writes of what she knows by person.
al experience. We find bit of ad-
venture in the sketch an the Tracks
of the American Lion" "Dolls and
Dollmakers" is a curious treatise that
will interest the young and amuse
their elders. The article on a Lump
of Sugar treats the subject in popa-
larly scientific manner that cannot |
fail to interest. The stories, adven-
lures and minor sketches will attract
readers, old and young. In every
point of view, this is most enjoya-
bic number OF the most successful of
our American magazines.
