| Perhaps one of the most thoughtful
and at the same time reassuriug articles
is that on the present condition of mod
ern cities, put in the form OF query.
| The whole article betrays careful study
and thorough investigation into the con-
| ditions, and while the author points out
many sources from which danger may
| arise, he draws the comforting conclu-
sion that any seeming degeneracy is not
diseased but parasitic growth, and
that ere another century has opened the
expression "AmeriCan degeueracy'
shall be proven u solecism.

The proprietors of this monthly with
their usual forethought are keeping pace
with other magazines in all that is nee
essary 10 success. This comment is ellie
tied by the handsome illustrations which
are to be found in the current number.

one that educates the eye i'll the classics,
while the beauties OF the Odes to Horace
entrance the ear, as tn sc are translated
into English for the less learned by men
as competent as Premier Gladstone who

Mrs. Sylvanus Reed, who has prosper
ously conducted q private school for girls
III New York city for twenty years, has
contributed a paper on the subject of

,bo Ill co. n,
the one that will be most apt to attract
the attention of a Texan reader is "Gen.
eral Sam Houston's Mystery. - The
secret of this mans first marriage has
furnished much room for surmises, and
this rambling story throws little new
light on a subject which after all is not q
matter for public speculation.
'AnOther Voice is scarcely an argu-
ment, but more in the line of a protest
against the teachings of those who attack
the faith of Christians.
A paper with an odd title, "Theaters
and Tombs, - gives the reader bird s.
eye view of some of the noted places in
Paris, city where life and death alike
seem frivolous. "1he Colorado School
marin. - and ga Steuographer S Story
are well told tales OF scenes in new lands.
A little glimpse of the courtroom remedy
for ill-assorted marriage is given in
"Proper Parties for Divorce Proceed
ings.' The selections in the aggregate
are good. The magazine reaches this
state in the latter part of the month,

The first Texas edition of Frank Les
lies Illustrated Newspaper made its ap-
pearance last week. Its exterior is gor-
lone star, having the capitol building in
its heart, tells to what this issue is de- |
voted. In addition to the usual matter,
the results of the visit of the Leslie party |
to this state are shown IN coplously !
illustrated supplement. There are views !
taken from different points, and many /
handsome buildings in the larger cities
are faithfully delineated. The pictures |
SO carefully gathered do not form the |
principal interest to those who would |
learn something of Texas. The opening |
article in the special edition is short !
history of the state from Its first settle
ment until now, the nature of the soil, |
the character of the products and such
other facts rs are likely to be of interest.
The different towns at which the party
staid are described and their progress
noted. Fort Worth receives a liberal |
share, and it is a matter for regret that
not more of the buildings in this city are
shown. As an advertisement of Texas
this edition cannot be eXcelled. The wide
circulation of the paper and the excel
lent style in which the country is repre-
seuted make II a most desirable medium
of in Information.
