10 SEPTEMBER 1887, Page 23

The September number of Chambers's Journal contains an excep- tionally

large number of readable and informing papers, such as "Matches," " Single.Rall Railways," and " Nettle-Cultitre," and of Irish stories, of which "A Tale of the Galtee Mountains " is the most powerful. Mr. Baring-Gould's aerial of "Richard Cable" steadily improves, and Josephine, who promisee to become a good wife to her homespun husband, is one of the best in his gallery of female portraits.
