The September number of Lippincott's
! Magazine makes an interesting departure
from conventional magazine ruts i'll the
publication of"Herod and Marianne, a
tragedy, by Amelie Rives, the brilliant
young authoress who has set all America
talking. Herod and Marianne is based
upon the story of Hercd the Great as told
by Josephus, and follows it very closely,
though informing it with a lurid and pas
sionate energy and a splendor of dictton
that carries the reader breathlessly to the
end. The tragedy will take high place
in American literature. Edgar Fawcett
says some very ,judicious things in his
critical essay, More words on Amelie
Rives," which takes up and discusses the
question as to moral and literary worth
of the Quick or the Dead?"-a question
that affords the editor, in his "Book
Talk, an opportunity for some thoughts
on the value of contemporary criticism.
An article by William Shepard on Fam
Gus Hoaxes" is full of curious, amusing
stories. Charles Morris, in The Tenn
perance Reform Movement" discusses a
timely question with full knowledge and
in an interesting manner. Tourgee's SER
les of short stories, with Guage and
Swallow" is continued with brilliant
narrative called "a Conflict between
Church and State" A great deal of in
teresting and valuable information is
contained I'm the answers to a. dozen OF
the Prize Questions lately propounded to
magazine readers. Every Days Record"
which gives succinct yet adequate &C
count of the several events that have
made memorable each day in the month,
is excellent in performance and full OF
promise for the future.
A RARITY-Mrs. Lamb has a night.
blooming cereus plant which she left with
Bessie Robbins to DO cared for during her
absence. 1t has grown rapidly and re.
Gently budded. On Thursday morning
last, about ten O'Clock, the bud com,
menced to open and soon after noon the
rarely beautiful blossom burst forth in
all its glory, dispensing its delightful per-
fume and exhibiting its snowy purity to
favored few. Before six o'clock it had
closed never to reopen. The remarkable
feature of it is thati bloomed at midday.
It must be disappointing to Mrs. Ramb
that she failed to see the rare and beauti.
full bloom after nursing the plant for three
years.
