The illustrations in the April num-
Der of Scribner'S Magazine at once
demonstrate that it is an excellent
number. Those illustrated articles are:
The conclusion of 1.-THE Campaign of
Waterloo" in which John G. Ropes
clearly states what seems to have been
Napoleon's great mistake in the man
agement of re-enforcements "Gibral-
tai, }" by Henry M. Field "The Greek
Vase" by William P. P. Longfellow; !;
A Happy Accident" a story by
Sophie Radford de Meissner.
In Harper's Magazine for MAY the
departments are fully up to the usual
standard. George William Curtis, in
the Easy Chair, asks churchmen lespe-
clally churchwOmen) what the results
of Lent are to be this year and he also
has something effective to say about
the expense of the musical perfor-
mances heard in New York last win
ter. w. D. HOwells, in the Study, re-
views the second volume of LEAFS
History of the Inquisition" and some
other books of realistic tendencies. and
then welcomes to new poets from the
West. Charles Dudley Warmers
DraaCer is bright and lively. He
points out, to start with, the dangers of
being on account of heredity, and then
provides some clever pencil sketches
and stories which hit off the weak
nesses of the times.
Frank LeSlie's Sunday Maqazine for
May is a valuable and interesting num-
Der of this favOrite family monthly.
Both solid and light reading, grave and
gay, prose and verse, are found in its
pages, and many beautiful illustrations
add to the interest of the value of the
text. Luxurious Railroading," bv
Arthur Vaughn Abbot, is very enter
ingly written, and conveys an immense
amount of information, which is en-
hanced by the many illustrations ac-
cOmpanying it. "The Beginnings of
Mission Work in North Africa" tells
the story of Missions in Tunis, Tripoli,
Algeria and Morocco. An article on
Heidelberg" by NJ. Wilcox, will at
tract attention, for uanv American
scholars have been educated in this
famous University in that city. DR..
Talmage's sermon is a striking one on
"Thirst in a Cavern" and there are
many other good things in verse and
prose, and fine and vigorous hymn
tune on the last page by c. Wenham
Smith, to the hymn Crown Him with
Many Crowns"

Lower California is said to be excited
over the discovery of immense deposits
of free gold in white Quartz, assaying
from $500 to $1,000 per ton. If the

fiuence upon the currency values of

upward and downward in twenty-four
