its title OF an illustrated magazine by
giving eight handsomely illustrated
articles out of the twenty, and eighty
five finely executed illustrations, en-
cravings. half-tones, etc. The craze

One of the most remarkable papers
ever published in a periodical is the ar
ticle of Mr.. Gladstone, prime minister
of England. in the October number OF
the North American Review. 1t is ell
titled "a Vindication of Home Rule: A
Reply to the Duke Of Argyll" and it
sets forth with vehement earnestness
and logical clearnesS the claims of the
Irish people to some measure of self
government. Mr.. Gladstone takes up
in detail the statements made by the
Duke of Argyll in his paper in the Au-
gust number of the North American
Review on English Elections and
Home Rule" the purpose OF which ar
ticle was to prove the identity of the
Irish movement with the principle of
secession that was encountered in the
American Civil war. As foreShadOw-
ing the policy of the prime minister in
the affairs of Ireland, "A Vindication
of Home Rule" will attract universal
and profound attention.
