A High-CIass Periodical.

The second number of the Journal Of
Germanic Philology is published. OF the
first number the Journal said it was a great
credit to the State to have a publication
of so high literary character and so learned
in it's special field emanate from Indiana,
edited by an Indiana eductOr and financial
ly backed by Indiana citizens. This remark
applies with equal emphasis to the second
number, which in respect OF high learning
and careful editing is even an advance on
the first number. The editor Professor Gus
tat Karsten, of the State University evil
IDENTIFY has at command in his assistant ed
itors and contributors abundant literary re-
sources to maintain the publication and it
is to be hoped its financial support may
not fail. 1t deserves to be mentioned that
this comes chiefly from few well-known
German-American citizens of Indianapolis
who thus show their interest in high-class
literary undertaking. Persons who wish to
can do SO to their hearts content in this
publication. The contents of the present
number are as follows
