MAGAZINES.
The April Magazine of american His
tory is notable for the tmeliness of its
topics and the clever style in which they are
treated. The opening paper by the editor
conducts the reader into a fresh and I'M
| trodden field, and no one who glances over
the first page viii be inclined to Law the
periodical aside without making the com
plete tour of South America 1t is rarely
chat so much of information and suggestion
is condensed within 50 brief space "Our
South American Neighbors' has for its text
the bright new book of travels by Frank
Vincent, but the article is in no sense con-
| lined to the modern outlook; the picturesque
past Is brought into view with descriptions
aud illustrations, and glimpses are given of
the ancient PeruvlanS and other early peo-
pleS-wlth also passing view of the latest
enterprise Of Harvard College in photo
graphing the southern heavens, which has
been made possible by Mrs Henry Draper

by giving figures to show that agricultural
products have increased more rapidly than
population, aud that the chief cause, there
fore, is overproduction. 2j3 Fifth avenue

The most interesting of the contents of
the current Arsna should be "White
Child Slavery" IA symposium by Helen
Campbell, Ra hi SCHNEIDER, Jenny June
A. a. Chevaliier, +. r. Wischnewessky and
c. Orcaards1n. The purpose is to we IN the
public of its danger through the deteriora-
ton and brutalizing of immature persons b7
the strain and confinement of factory work.
The subject is well displayed from diffaren5
standpoints. Bishop SDalding Roman
Catholic writes nominally of God in tue
Constitution but really replies to Col In
gersol''S recent article on the same subject.
Elizabeth CadY Stanton writes of divorce

title Of new series begun in the cure 1T

To-Day describing and illustrating the
several systems which are steadily sup
planting horses on street railways. ''Wag-
nerism and the allan Opera" will not
please WagnermaIiacs, but it contains
many hard facts aud much musical sense.
The conclusion Of Mr.. Marein's Footprints
of Charles Lamb" is better than the begin
ming. Frederick Jones Bliss writes of
"Tadnor in the Wilderness" Tadmor be-
ing the famous old city of Palmyra; the
sketch is splendidly illustrated Octave
Thanet's "Expiation" conclude; as strongly
as it began; historically, as we'll as a WORK
