There is a great deal of readable matter, although there
is no article of outstanding importance, in the now number of Harper's Magazine. The remarkable writer who disguises her personality under the masculine nom de plume of "Charles Egbort Craddock," commences a new and characteristic story, " In the Stranger People's' Country." Mr. do Blowitz supplies another instalment of his memoirs, under the title "how I Became a Journalist." It is characterised, of course, by his amusingly unconscious egotism; but all the same it throws a good deal of light on the state of France after the fall of the Second Empire. The author of " Vice- -Versa " gives a readable, although scarcely a characteristic article, on the hackneyed subject of " London Music-Halls y" while Mr. Theodore Child supplies some decidedly photographic ".Impres-
sions of Peru." Mr. Charles Dudley Warner writes graphically, and not too seriously, of "The Outlook in Southern California."
