BLACKWOOD'S.
Sir Thomas Warner, with seventeen followers, landed on St. Christopher just three centuries ago. The story of this, the first permanent English colony in the West Indies, is pleasantly related by Mr. J. A. Williamson. Warner died in his colony in 1649, a few weeks after his King. " Periscope " comments on the efforts of the Irish Free State Government, in their legislation, to dissociate themselves—verbally—from Eng- land; he states, however, that the attempt to translate all Acts into Erse is languishing. Among the numerous articles and stories of travel for which Blackwood is always distinguished we may name Mr. Candler's delightful paper on Fontarabia and an unnamed writer's lively account of "The Armageddon Hunt," a pack of foxhounds which hunted the Vale of Acre and Plain of Sharon while the cavalry remained there after the Armistice.
