Scribner's Magazine for May contains
important articles in two notable illustrated
series-the first of THE Great Streets of
the World, and the second of the ocean
Steamship articles. \. b. Frost has made
eighteen drawings for the broadway" ar
tcle, which are as complete an interpreta-
ton of the varied life of that thoroughfare
as Richard Harding Davs's picturesque
and vivid text. Skilful artists, like Met
calf, ZOgbaum, Denman, Broughton, and
Villiers make the steamship article very at
tractive and elaborate in illustration. With
two such series of articles, and special
fiction issue in August the summer num-
bers of this magazine will be remarkably
interesting. The May number is notably
strong and entertaining in its fiction.
With every issue the New England Mag
azine becomes wider in its scope, and is
more artistically gotten up, it being the ev-
ident desire of the editors and publishers
to make it take first rank among the great
illustrated mOnthlies. The May number
presents a varied and excellent table of con-
tents. The initial article is walt Whit
man at Date" by Horace l.. Traubel and
his revelations of the everyday life and
struggles of the good gray poet, whose
limbs are now paralyzed, will interest thou
sands of admirers on both sides of the At
lantic. A portrait of the good gray poet,
new picture recently taken, forms the
frontispiece of the number, and the article
is enriched with sketches and photographs
of his bedroom and study, his nurse, hi,
house, and the little sunny street in Cam
den, y. j., where he has lived so long. Al
article dealing with the LOyalists who
fought against their country and their xiii
and kin in the Revolutionary war, is moi
often seen in an American magazine, anC
it shows the spirit of fair play, and the de
cline of prejudices in our country, tina
Mr.. James Hannays article, "The Loyal
lists, written from the Loyalist standpoint
should be given prominent place in thi'
number, and should be so literally illus
trated 1t is the best illustrated article il
fact, which has appeared in this magazine
There are other articles of timely interest
and the number is excellent throughout.
