The October Monthlies. — Harper's, this 

 month, contains fifteen papers, of which nine are 

 illustrated. Tho place of honor is given to "My- 

 t.own,''a gossipy bit of word description from a 

 Woman's pen. "Mytown," it is conjectured, is 

 none other than a quiet Connecticut village. 

 Hunting the Walrus contains some lively reading 

 descriptive of a sport which is not without the 

 added zest of danger. The Life of a New York 

 Fireman affords admirable material for the third 

 paper, the other papers being, The Campaign 

 of Burgoyne — one of those timely topics for the 

 selection of which Harper's has gained an envia- 

 ble reputation — a group of classical schools, 

 Part Second ; A sketch of foreign travel. From 

 Brusa to Constantinople ; the fourth of the ser- 

 ies on Popular Exposition of Some Scientific 

 Experiments; the Regular Army of the United 

 States, by Gen. Geo. B. MeClel'lau : the stories 

 are the continuation of Eremia; or, My Father's 

 Son; Raspberry Island aud On a Melon Schooner. 

 The poems are : Girl and Woman ; Eabrics ; An 

 Old Umbrella, and The House Concert. 



Strribner's presents its usual variety of good 

 things. How New York i6 Fed is described by 

 W. H. Rideiug in an interesting sketch with ex- 

 cellent illustrations. Dr. Holland concludes his 

 story, Nicholas Miuturn, aud the novel now ap- 

 pears in book form. Hejalmer Iljorth Boyesen, 

 is the subject of an appreciative paper by Frank 

 E. Heath, aud his American friends will be glad 

 to receive Boyesen 's portrait, which is done in 

 the Scribner's best style. Clarence Cook fur- 

 nishes an illustrated paper on Togas and Tog- 

 gery, which is written in the usual happy vein 

 of the author. Timely pieces are, An Autumn 

 Song, by E. Norman Gunnison ; Clematis, by 

 Mary C. Kuapp ; Ripe Corn, by C. L. Cleve- 

 land; Woodbine in October, by Charlotte F. 

 Bates, and A Vintage Song, by Mrs. E. D. R. 

 Bianciardj. A Yankee Tar and his Friends, by 

 Mrs. M. F. Armstrong, is pleasant reading. 



In the Atlantic. T. B. Aldrich continues his ser- 

 ial Queen of Sheba, and as the story progresses/it 

 proves one of the best that this favorite fiction 

 writer has given to the Atlantic readers. H. C, 

 contributes one of her characteristic and ever 

 delightful sketches, The Procession of Flowers 

 in Colorado. W. W. Story writes In Memoriam; 

 John Lothrop Motley ; Edgar Fawcett's poem 

 this month is on the Willow, and there are other 

 poems of unusual excellence. Mark Twain gives 

 Some Random Notes of an Idle Excursion. The 

 departments of fiction, travel, literature and 

 miscellany are well represented by stories, 

 sketches and essays. The Contributor's Club 

 deals with a variety of topics from a variety of 

 standpoints, and has become oue of the most 

 nteresting features of the magazine. 



The Qalassy ban a paper from the pen of Gid- 

 eon A\ ells— Administration of Abraham LLnooin; 

 a, discussion by Albert Rhodes of the question: 

 Shall the American Girl be Chaperoned?; a pa- 

 per on Guns and Armor, by E. Simpson ; and 

 Edwin Forrest, an Actor's Estimate of a Great 

 Artist, by Lawrence Barrett. A Legend of tho 

 Delawai-o affords material for Our Witch, a story 

 by Emily Read ; Our Near Neighbor is discussed 

 by (.'. M. Raymond, the Strange Adventure of 

 Lieutenant Yerganolf, is translated by A. Vemor 

 from the French of Ivan Tourgueneff ; Justin 

 McCarthy concludos his serial, Miss Misanthrope. 

 There are other stories, poems and essays ; the 

 departments of Drift W r ood and Scientific Mis- 

 cellany are treated in a style peculiar to the 

 Galaxy. The whole number is a most excellent 

 one, and sustains the reputation for vivacity 

 and sprightliness long ago earnod by the maga- 

 zine iu paBt years.

XSSORSEMEHTS, 



Spokts.han'3 Gazetteer— Geo. Bird Grinnell, of 

 the Peaboly Academy of Science, New ilaven. 

 writes: "I have to thank you fur a copy of the 

 Sportsman's Gazetteer received day before yester- 

 day. I have delayed acknowledging it, in order tha> 

 1 might be able to speak intelligently Of its merits. 

 I have looked it over somewhat carefully, aud 1 must 

 say that I am delighted with it, It seems to be just 

 the hook that we have so long wanted in this coun- 

 try— au American "Stonehenge" in fact. On the 

 fishes you have surpassed yourself, and I am astou 

 ished at the amount of material you have collected, 

 and the happy method in which you have treated 

 the group. The Dog and Diseas cs of the Dog lire ad- 

 mirably written, aud will prove one of the most use- 

 ful of manuals for sportsmen. The Art of Fly-Fish- 

 ing, aud the hiuta and recipes are all that could be 

 desired; in fact the book seems to be a complete 

 success. I do not see how it can fail to have a very 

 large sale." 



The SroRTsitAN's Gazetteer.— Tho Gazetteer 

 duly came to hand, and to say that I am delighted 

 with the book only faintly expresses my apprecia- 

 tion of it. How you have been able to gather so 

 much valuable matter together is almost a mystery 

 tome. It certainly speaks well for your industry 

 and knowledge of the subjects discussed. For the 

 size and valuable information contained, the price, 1 

 think, is remarkably low, and I would not be with- 

 out it for double the price. Every sportsman and 

 everybody interested in sporting matters should 

 have a copy, aud I shall take great pleasure in re- 

 commending it to my army friends. 



II. C. Yarrow, M. D., U. S. A. 



TnE Gazetteer.— The Sportsman's Gazetteer was 

 duly received, aud myself and many of our best 

 judges in sporting literature have critically exam- 

 ined the book, and all unite in pronouncing it the 

 most valuable work ever issued from tue press on 

 kindred subjects. It is a wonder to all how so much 

 valuable information could be so intelligently crowd- 

 ■cd into a book of its size. The task must have been 

 very grca% but has been accomplished in a remarka- 

 bly concise, intelligent and pleasing manner. Every 

 page demonstrates the fact that the author was a 

 master of his subject. Mo sp a-tsman or tourist can 

 afford to be without the book, and it ought to be, and 

 110 doubt will be, read generally by the masses, and 

 certainly by all interested in the study of natural 

 hi-tory. Dr. D. O. Estes.
