The North American Review for November , by the liveliness and the sterling worth of ike articles it contains sati-lies the requirements of the most exacting remhir. khenatorFLTßrWhtKW Island’’, giving incidentally a highly inter sting sketch of the early comutuiional history of that little Commonwealth, and setting forth the considerations which influenced its people 11 in restricting the exercise of the eleitoral dierogative. Ds. Norvin Green, President of the Western Union Company, in tin article entitled “The Government and the telegraph’’, cites the provi-ions of the Federal Constitution and the determinations of the Supreme Court which appear to debar the General Government lr<>m iKsuming the management of telegraph , lines; and presents statistics designed to prove that the service ,n this country is both cheaper and more < fficient than in any of the countries of Europe where the Governments own the lines. The Rev. David N. Utter brings out from oblivion the reco’-d of certain atrocious crimes of “Joi n Brown of Ossawotoinie.’’ There are two scientific articles, namely “Solar Physics”, by Professor Balfour Stewart, and “Modern Explosives”, by Gen. John Newton. W. 11. Mallock contributes “Conversations with a Solitary", an imaginary psssage-at-arms between a Radical and a Conservative, in which the two opposing theories of government and society are advc- ated with rare spirit and ingenuity of argument. In “Suggestions in regard to the Public Service”, Green B. Raum filers certain facts going to prove that the clerks and other employes of the ’government departments at Washington even before the passage st the Civil ■ Service net, were in the main both faithfufi And efficient. Finally, “Dr. Hammond’s Estimate of Women", is reviewed by Mrs. Lillie Devereux Blake M'ss Nina Moiais, Mrs. Sara A Underwood and Dr. Clemence S. Lozier. -Fifty cents a copy; $3 a year.
