Harper's Magazine.

One of the noteworthy features Of
Harper's Magazine for June is the
story of A Frontier Fight, by Gen. G..
A Forsyth, u. S. A., with Illustrations
by r. f. Zogbaum-a story to arouse
enthusiasm in even the most blase of
magazine readers. House Boating
in China and Rome in Africa are
articles of uncommon interest, and,
for that matter, so are The New Car
and The Grand Prix and Other Prizes.
Add to these the chapters of two
serials, Personal Recollections of Joan
of Are and Hearts Insurgent, and
poems and short stories of the highest
rank, and still the literary treasures
of this Number of the old new
Magazine are inadequately suggested.
