McClure’s Magazine for May.

Twenty-Three portraits of Bismark, covering a period of sixty years, from his student days down to the present time, are the most striking feature of McClure’s Magazine for May, all of the portraits being very interesting, and a number of them rare. But quite as remarkable in its way is an illustrated paper by E. J. Edwards, reciting the dramatic events of the period when the Tammany society first began to gourmandize on the spoils of office and when the no. torius Marshal Rynders and his “plug-uglies” held the city of New York under their-violent sway. A paper on “Journalism.” by Charles A. Dana, editor of “The Sun,” New York, gives the opinions which Mr. Dana has gathered from his own remarkably full experience, regarding the opportunities journalism offers to generous-minded and well-educated young men, and regarding the best preparation for newspaper work. The scene of wild enthusiasm in the French Assembly in 1840 over an unexpected proposal to disinter the remains of Napoleon at St. Helena and remove them to Paris, and the august ceremonies attending the execution of the project both at St. Helena and in Paris, are well described in a pa ber by Miss Ida M- Tarbell In illustration of the paper there is reproduced a series of very rare contemporary prints, showing the funeral progress from the erabarkment of the remains to their final burial.
