The New England Magazine,

The New England magazine has severs |
articles in the July numbe v hich will be
OF special interest to Vermonters. In the
opening article Henry Boynton writes OF
the famous sculptor, Hiram Powers, who
was born in Woodstock, VT. There are
several portraits OF Powers, with views of
his birthplace and his villa in Florence,
together with reproductions OF some OF
his most noted sculptures. More than
twenty pages are given to "Lske Cham
Ilain, Historical and Picturesque" The
many illustrations add very effectively to
the enthusiastic descriptions given by
Rev. j. W. Buekham, OF this region. Two
other descriptive articles of great local
interest are "Old Rochester and Her
Daughter Towns" in Massachusetts,, aud
Essex, CT" Rev. Jabez Sunderland
comments on the religion OF Rudyard
Kipling.

The Century.

The July Century shows a very attrac
tive table of contents and the reading of
the magazine does not disappoiut any ex-
pectstions. The frontispiece IL a tinted
portrait of Rudyard Kipling. In connec
ton with this is personal sketch OF Mr..
kipliIg by Henry r. Marshall, who is
evidently an admirer OF mis- subject.
Altho' this is a story teller's number there
are several papers on the most noted writ
ers OF fiction, which are we'll written aud
exceedingly interesting. Mrs. j. T..
Fields writes OF a visit to Geo. Eliot.
Noah Brooks tells us about "Bret Harte in
CAL" F. NJ. f. Stene tells the story of the
romance Of Walter Scott's early life and
two portraits are here given OF Scott.
There are also sketched Victor Hugo and
DE Foe and their work. Frank NJ. Chap

The glorious Fourth has a good show
ing in illustrations, stories and poems in
the July issue. The number opens with
a ball I'd OF the Revolution, entitled
"Robert Salette," by Laura +. Richards.
Tue paper, with the Rough Riders" by
Henry La Motto, NJ. d., giving an ac-
count OF the doiugs OF that famous regi-
ment, will prove an important contribu-
ton to war literature. THE story of

girls, as does "Trinity Bells" that OF the
boys. The report OF the committee OF
award in the competition for prizes in the
department OF "Books and Reading" will
be found near the close Of the magazine.
Altogether this is good number.
