Frank Leslie's Popular monthly for 



June, 1886, opens with a very vivid sketch of the 

 statesman who at this moment rivets public atien- 

 tion— Wm. E. Gladstone— grappling boldly with a 

 problem which for a century has taxed the intel- 

 lectual powers of the leading men in power in 

 England— a government for Ireland which shall 

 insure the well-being of the people and retain 

 the Island as contented part of the British Em- 

 pire. All the articles savor of the pleasant sum- 

 mer days ; and the stories— by Mrs. M. A. Denni- 

 son. Jane Fay Alston, Chas. H. Shinn, Annie J. 

 Duffell. and others— make this number a charming 

 one to read at home, or travelling, or stretched in 

 breezy shade.

" DoiiU Stop "—that is what many write 

 to us about their papers, when tbeir time is 

 nearly out. One subscriber says: "This 

 has been a year of disaster, and it is not con- 

 venient for me to send you the money now 

 to renew my subscription. It runs out with 

 this month ; hut don't stop mnding it. I will 

 get the money to you within three months." 

 Such letters are coming every day, and so 

 for the present we have concluded not to 

 stop any papers until requested to do so.

Frank Ijeslie's Sunday magazine for 



June, 1W86, is especially noticeable for its numer- 

 ous full-page illustrations, some of which are ex- 

 ceptionally fine. The Luray Cave, in Page Co., 

 Va..i3 the subject of several tine cuts. A beautiful 

 picture is a reproduction of a painting by Aui-'us- 

 tin Lhardy, entitled " Preparations for a Day in 

 the Country"; andanumberof contrasted scenes 

 on the two rivers, th** Rhine and the Hudson, give 

 some idea of the beauty of these two famous 

 streams. An antiquarian interest attaches to the 

 article on the first edition of the " I'ilijrim's Pro- 

 gress." with reproductions of its quaint engrav- 

 ings and a/dc simf/c of the text. A beautiful re- 

 produfiion of one of Giacomelli's bird-pictures 

 shows the helmet-crested humming bird and its 

 nest. Many other beautiful pictures fill the num- 

 ber, while the literary portion is up to the high 

 level of this favorite family magazine, Published 

 by Mrs. Frank Leslie. ."ia-ST Park Place, New York.
