The Eclectic.

The June number OF the Eclectic offers
many features of interest which should en-
gage the attention of all thinking readers.
The opening paper by Piince Kropotkin, the
nihilist and socialist, under the title of 'The
Breakdown of the Industrial SYSTEM" ex-
amines into the industrial evils of the day
and indulges in glowing anticipation of the
benefits of socialism to the poor man. There
is an exceedingly interesting paper on the
"Central African Question:" which explains
many points obscure to the ordinary reader.
The Anglo-American Copyright Question,
which has absorbed so much attention fer
several years, is very ably discussed from
the English standpoint. Miss Christians
''Recollectons of Charles Dickens" will be
read with great interest, as they give many
fresh and entertaining facts concerning one
of the few writers about whom and of whom
readers never tire. Mr.. John Addington
Symonds is represented by brilliant and
suggestive essay on "Caricature, the Fam
tastic, the Grotesque," in which he discusses
the laws which govern the legitimate use of
CsIibhlulos plIs uldCCOh
study of "Islam and Christianity" contro-
verts some of the recent secular essays which
have appeared on this subject in the English
magazines. Prof. Richrrd Proctor talks
about the Everlasting Hills" and though
geology 10 not his speciality, he shows he is
master oft sufficiently to be most enter
tanning writer. Oscar Browning's article
on "The Art OF George Elliott is written in
both critical and appreciative spirit. The
sketches of Matthew Arnold, from the Athe-
nGum, Spectator, and academy. will be read
with great interest. There are several poems,
among which may be mentioned, swim.
burnes "The Tyneside Widow" little
gem of simple and homely pathos, showing
the poet in a new light; and Alfred Austin's
"a March Minstrel"

Literary Note.
The Century Magazine.


The May numbsroE 7ae Century begins
new volume. The opening article is the first
paper of the series by George Kennan, illus
trated by G. A. Frost and Henry Sandman,
in which is to be recorded the results of The
Century Expedition into Siberia and exam
nation of the exile system. The frontispiece
of this number is a touching scene at the
Siberian boundary post. In the "Author's
Preface" MIR. Keenan, relates the circum-
stances under which he undertook his Sibe-
rian mission. The illustrations are numer-
ous and there is full page map of the
route pursued by the travellers on their ex-
traordinary journey.
Theodore Roosevelt, in his series of Ranch
articles describes (and Remington llustrates)
his adventurous and amusing pursuit and
cspture of three boat thieves, short ac-
count of which appeared not long ago in the
newspapers.
Two brief papers appeal especially to the
soldier audience, but are of general interest
as wells The first deals with "The chances
of being hit in battle" being "a study Of
regimental losses in the Civil War" The
second describes the famous Locomotive
Chase in Georgia" one of the most thrill
ing incidents of the war
The Lincoln Life deals especially with the
efforts to keep the Border States from S,eoes-
sion, and Mr. Lincoln appears not only in
this historical setting, but also as a character
of fiction in DR.. Egglestons Western novel,
"The Graysons," which is now approach.
