main unchanged, and Miss Barrows and
Miss Lincoln will continue as editors.
The office has been transferred to %

The April number of the New Eng
land Magazine is unusually interesting.
"The Prairie Cabin is a delightful
sketch by Mr.. George E. Tufts of con-
ditions in the western country which
are anything but delightful. can Edict
in Modern Acadia" by Holman F. Day,
and ''rhe Man he Saved" by Lewis E:
MacBrayne, are two unusually good
| stories, the former a Maine story, the
latter transacting itself half in Boston
and half in a western mining camp.
There are several good poems, that by
Sam. Walter Foss entitled 1.-TWO Gods
and that by Mrs. Guild entitled "Faust's
Question" being especially striking. Mr..
Mead in his Editors Table discusses
the life and influence of Alfred the
Great-the millennial of Alfred'S death,
which occurs the present year, being
the occasion.
The relations between New England
and Canada are growing every day more
numerous and important. The New
England Magazine has recognized this
fact by admitting to its pages many
Canadian articles 1t has published a
series upon the great Canadian cities,
quebec, Montreal, Toronto, etc. ; and
this series is continued by the publica-
ton in it's April number OF an admirable
article upon "Ottawa, the Capital of
Canada" 1t is written by J. M. Mac
Donald Oxley, the well-knoWn Canadian
author; and it is not too much to say
that Ottawa has never had so full JUS
tice done it before in a popular article.
The value of the article is enhanced by
great wealth of illustrations, showing
the fine public buildings, the business
and residential streets and the charming
environs of the city. For Ottawa is
more than political centre; it is a
charming summer resort and it is Wig
orouS business centre, already rallying
successfully from the effects of the dis
astrous fire of few months ago. This
article should render the city distinct
service, and is certainly most interest
ing to the general reader Warren F.
kellogg, Publisher, Boston, Mass.
