In the death of james Russell Lowell,
America loses one of its greatest writer's
and Boston one of the figures that made
it pre-eminent among the cities of the
continent. The friends of such man
are fortunate in having memories that
are golden compensation for rubbing
elbows with the world. Perhaps none
OF his Boston friends knew Lowell bet
ter than Edward Everett Hale, and an
article on the poet by this accomplished
essayiSt in the New England Magazine
for October, is one of the delights of the
months haul among the magazines.
Mr.. Hale'S article is written in his usual
easy vein of pleasant commentary, and
Is brlmful of sympathy and delicious
comprehension.
In its November number the Cos mo-
politan will publish a series of letters
written by Gen. ". T. Sherman to one
of his young daughters, between the
years 1859 and 1865, and covering most
of the important events OF the war of
secession. These letters present graphic
pictures OF great soldier amid some of
the stirring scenes in which he was
giant figure, and III them the patriotic
spirit of the Federal general
is seen to have been most
attractively tempered by a strong
affection for the Southern
ern people. The fraternal feeling which
glOws in these letters is in refreshing
contrast to the sectional bitterness
which characterized the period, and
they will constitute an interesting and
important contribution to the literature
of the war Amelie Rives' striking

Der. No other piece of current fiction

Saddle and Sentiment" Wenona
GiIman's great tale of the turf, opens in
Outing for October, and not only is it
the best bit of fiction that has appeared
III Outing, but 1t is one or the best rae
ing stories that has ever been written.
The play of human passion, the thrill
ing incident of racing, the descriptions
of horses and turfmen, are worthy of
the wizard pen of the master of sporting
subjects. Whyte-Melville. The flutter
of silk and the thunder OF hoofs are
real and every character introduced is
faithfully drawn from life, the original
being easily recognizable. 1t is a story
of to- day-the patrons of the sport of
kings are living men, and the noble
brutes they race are reigning kings and
queens of the turf.
Three well-known Canadians contrib
ute to the October number of Outing.
