Cassell's Saturday Magazine (Cassell and Co.) supplies as large
a fund of useful and entertaining reading as usual. There are " complete stories," to be reckoned by scores, even hundreds, and five serials,—to wit, " A Baffling Quest," by Mr. Richard A. Dow- ling; " By Right not Law," by Mr. Robert It. Sherard ; " The Man with a Thumb," by Mr. W. P. Hudson ; " Olga's Crime," by Mr.
Frank Barrett ; and " Serjeant Von's Chase" (from the Diary of Inspector Byrnes, Chief of the New York Detective Force). A. number of papers, " Representative Men at Home," astonish us with the audacity of the interviewer. He is like the proverbial " sapper ; " nothing is sacred to him. An eminent Socialist (who seems to make the most of his property while he is permitted to.
enjoy it), a popular novelist, an equally popular dramatist, an.
Admiral of the Fleet, a leading caricaturist, and an ex-Lord Chancellor are among the victims. No one seems to have got
beyond the mildest protest. Perhaps they like. it, after all. Or are the unsuccessful interviews suppressed ? There is a series of papers on " Remarkable Riots," which will repay perusal, and another on " Undercurrents of London Life."
