interesting article by Lieutenant J.
W. Miller, U. S. N., entitled,"Nicara
gua, and the Proposed Inter-oceanic
Canal,” which will attract no little at
tention. '* The Ute Massacre,” is,an
other notable article and gives painful
details of this terrible affair. There
are seventeen illustrations. “ Behind
the Curtain of the Grand Opera,” by
George Augustus Sala; “The Austrian
in the Ice,” by G. A. Hudson, and '• A
Thunder Storjn,” by Wm. Durham, F.
R. S. E., are prominent features of
this number. In the department of
fiction are several admirable stories
by Mrs. M. A. Denison, Etta W.
Pierce, and other celebrated writers.
The new serial “Not Guilty,” is one of
the best stories of the day. The poems
are of unusual merit; most of them
are handsomely illustrated. Thereare

thus far issued being only the reprint
•of the last edition of the well-known
'Chambers’s Encyclopaedia, nothing

they are well printed and bound; their
form is vastly more convenient than
the usual unwieldly quarto or octavo

but to the practical printer and book

books is the number of buyers among
whom the investment cost is to be
distributed, the wonder would be not
that the books can be made for the
price but that the number of the buy-,
