MAGAZINES.
The October number of the Century is
particular interesting one One of the
most interesting articles is entitled TAX
ing Napoleon to ST. Helena" The article
is in fact the diary of the secretary of
Rear-Admiral Sir George Cockburn of
the ship Northumberland" which bore
Napoleon into exile at st. Helena. Not
only the daily life of the ex-emperor on
board ship, but many important CONVEX
Stations with the admiral are reported in
full In talking one day of Waterloo, Ma
poleon said that he attributed his
defeat solely to the disaffected
officers of the French army. Had it
been daylight an hour longer, he said, he
was positive the result would have been
different. HE further said that had he
been able, when the alarm and confusion
first took place, to have placed himself in
a conspicuous position in front, it would
have insured the rallying of all the troops
around him, but as it was, treachery and
darkness combined rendered his ruin in
evitable." In this number there are also
articles appropriate to the closing weeks
of the worlds fair, the first being the
fullest biographical sketch ever written
of Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer
of the original plan of the landscape of
the fair. The article is by Mrs Van
Rensselaer, who says of this work that
in it Mr.. Olmsted has lifted landscape
gardening to a higher place than 1t ever
held before in the interest and respect of
our public" The Century Company,

Hamlin Garland claims that, notwith-
standing its foreign population, Chicago
is much more American than our eastern
capitals, which he accuses of losing
touch with the people. There is an ele-
ment of exaggeration and great deal of
truth in this enthusiastic proposition.
Two articles are ranged under an in
quiry, rs the West Socialistic?" Frank
Tracy writes upon the Rise and Doom
of the Populist Party" and Charles
Gleed upon The True Significance of
Western Unrest" DR.. Carl Peters, the
well-known traveller, treats the Pros

rosy dream of DR. Hertzka. that Africa
will be thickly settled by European popu-
latiOn, but contents himself with predict
