The Review for March.

When a new drama has proved success* ful. itffs customary f©r the audience to call Ibe author before the curtnin. They have a euriosity to sue what sort of man it is that created the play that has amuse l and instructed them. There is something very much like this in regard ta our great newspapers: their editorial utterances are all anonymous, but there is generally a tradi>ion of some half-shadowy personage who has established the journal, given it its character, and constantly directs it; and the public like to have him come before the curtain now and then, to address them in his own person. This Murat Halstead, of : lie Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, has date in the March number of the North American Review, to wdiich be contributes an article on “The Rnvival of sectionalism.” In the same number, Archdeacon Farrar presents his views on “Future Retribution,” and Prof. N. K. Davis discusses “The Moral Aspects of Vivisection” ia a way that brings together briefly nearly everything that any person es note has said on the subject.

The youth finally I reached the front gate, rushed in, and ! closed it. He turned around with a ! satisfied air, and found that it was his | own dog which had been chasing him in sport. The home of Jmlu Hurst produces not only wonderful women, but men beyond the ordinary run of mortalsNo less than three citizens of Georgia proclaim their royalty, with the rights and privileges thereunto belonging. Lemuel Howard, of Jackson County, could have given Mary Clark Gaines points on claiming things. He has figured out that he is the only simon-pure Jacob Townsend Sarsaparilla heir to the British throne, and maintains that he has the sum of $17,000,000 on deposit in the Bank of England with which to set np housekeeping when he takes possession of St. James’, Buckingham, and Balmoral Castle. He has assumed the title Earl of Baltimore, or Kalamazoo, or something, of the kind. The second royal personage of that State is a prominent lawyer of Noonan, who claims to be able to trace his descent from th§ Scottish kings for sixteen centuries prior, to the' Christian era. Having n,o title, we suggest that of Duke of Louisville. The third man is Robert Shaw, who is quite persuaded that Qneen Victoria is unlawfully keeping him from his own as ruler of the British Empire.
