 account of the " F. M. C's of Louisana," a 

 class which lost its distinctive existence by 

 the war. Under the heading "The Librarian 

 among his books," Julian Hawthorne des- 

 cribes the Library of Congress and its dis-

THE HOBBY CLTJB. 



Of the forming of clubs there is no end. 

 The latest is a " hobby club," composed of 

 twelve original spirits, each with a hobby, 

 which can be aired at one of the weekly 

 meetings, provided the posessor is willing to 

 submit to the criticism and bandiage of the 

 other members. By the rules, every mem- 

 ber is bound to be prepared when his or her 

 turncomes,which is decided by vr te. Twenty 

 minutes are allowed for the presentation of 

 the hobby, thirty minutes for general dis- 

 cussion, and fifteen minutes afterward to the 

 owner, to answer objections and ridicule. — 

 From" Chat,'' in Demorest's Magazine for April. 



The March number of Godey's Maga- 

 zine came filled from cover to cover with 

 brilliant articles and excellent illustrations. 



The most important feature, and one which 

 will interest all students of history, is the 

 first of a series of hitherto unpublished 

 papers, on '' William H. Seward," edited by 

 his son, Frederick W. Seward. Tin- March 

 paper treats upon " Seward and Napoleon 

 III." There are also the closing chapters of 

 Margaret Lee's powerful novel, " This Man 

 and This Woman; " an excellent short story. 

 " A New Thing Under the Sun," by Jmia 

 Magruder ; "Richard Eversleigh's Viola," 

 an hypnotic story, by Stinson Jarvis, and 

 there are four illustrated articles, on the 

 "Old Drury Lane Theatre, London;'' 

 " Aoout Albani " a Neapolitan sketch ; and 

 and in the boy's department, '• The R'glit 

 Way to Row," by Ralph D. Paine, of Yale ; 

 an unpublished letter of Daniel Webster 

 mirrors the times in which it was written, 

 Albert Hardy contributes an Kaster poem, 

 charmingly illustrated by Sidney Moran, 

 and Frank Dempster Sherman, Dora Reed 

 Goodale, Annie Robeson Brown and Mary 

 Cornelia Francis also have bits of verse. 

 G"dev's fashions and the other depart- 

 ments are all good.
