The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-06-09

was an article in the Forum for May by the
Bishop of Vincennes, wherein he commended
that the temporal power of the Pope is both
necessary and desirable. Bishop Chatard,
who was born in Maryland, lived long in
Rome as the head of the American College
there, and he is high Catholic authority.
His article was in reply to to the argument
against the Papal power in temporal affairs,
by the Belgian historian, Prof. Emile de
Lavaleye in the preceding number, which
has attracted great deal of attention in
Europe; and in the June Forum the Catholic
bishop, Gilmour, writes of the bearing of
Catholicism on the American public school
system.

We have received from the publishers of
the eclectic weekly, Public Opinion, of
Washington and New York, an exquisite
artotype, % and % inches in size, in which
are artistically grouped the portraits of fifty
well-known editors, representing all sections
of the country, from Boston to San Fran
cisco; This is the first of a series of groups
to be published by Public Opinion, which it
self is made up each week of the opinions of
the representative papers and magazines of
the country upon the leading current topics in
politics, finance, science, religion, literature,
etc. The journal is, in fact, a composite
photograph of the thought of the nation, and
in it's columns the utterances of the leading
advocates of all parties, factions, creeds and
theories are reproduced with perfect fair
ness, leaving the reader to form more in
telligent opinion of his own than would be
possible under any other plan.
The journal has been one of the most pro-
nounced successes of recent years in the lit
erary field, and the artotype which it has just
issued upon the completion of its fourth vol
ume, must be given the place of honor as an
artistic and appropriate souvenir
Mr.. George Remnants second illustrated pa
per in his Siberian series appears in the June
Century, under the title of 60 Plains and Pris-
ons of Western Siberia.' 1t will contain a
description of the writer's inspection of the
forwarding prison at Tiumen, built to &C.
commodate 800 prisoners, where, at the time
of Mr.. Remnants visit, 1741, men and women
were imprisoned. In rooms built to accom-
modate not more than 35 men, I6O we're
sleeping. 81 breathed as little as could
while was there" says Mr.. KEENAN,, "but
every respiration seemed to pollute my very
soul, and became faint from nausea and
lack of oxygen. 1t was like trying to breathe
in an underground hospital-drain." Mr..
KEENAN, gives one good idea of the enor-
nous size of Siberia by stating that its terri
tory would contain thesUnited States, in
Guiding Alaska, with all the States of Europe,
except Russia, and there would still be 3OO,-
900 square miles to spare.
Harper's Magazine for June ia an exam
pie of what magazine for early summer
ought to be. Itcontains judicious mixture
of the best things in literature, and is thus
suited to all the moods of June day. Fic-
ton is provided for lazy hours by W. D.
Howells, Henry James and William Black,
and there is much charming poetry. Neither
are solid articles for serious reading lacking,
and the artistic features of the number are
most delightful. Reinhart, Abbey, Charles
Graham, e. P. sanguinetti, Alfred Parsons,
W. II. Hyde and F. Barnard all contribute
specimens of their best work. The frontis-
piece is an excellent portrait of the late Mrs.
Craik, and belongs to the article on 81 Lon
don as Literary Center" which abounds in
good likenesses of English novelists.
The opening article in the Womon's
World for June is on "The Uses of Draw
ing Room" which uses are interpreted not
to be for the entertainment of the rich and
great, but for the occasional entertainment
of the working people, who are unfamiliar
with tasteful homes, and to whom complj-
ment of this sort ia a never-to- be- forgotten
pleasure. The "Records of Fallen Dyn-
asty" follows this, and gives some interest
ing anecdotes in connection with Prince
Charles Edward Stuart. This paper is fully
illustrated from old paintings, and portrait
of Prince Charles. disguised as "Bett
Burke" forms the frontispiece of the mum
Der. An article called Something About
Needle Women" not the needle women who
loll back in easy chairs, and work conven-
tionalized flowers in Kensington sketch, but
women who make shirts, and other articles
of clothing. Dublin Castle is next described,
and fine place it is, too, or was, for its
glory has departed. An interesting paper is
on " Modern Greek Poets," with portraits
of the more important of them .-(Cassell
