Harper's Magazine closes its eighty-fifth vol ume with the November number. The issue is fully up to the standard of this excellent magazine. Charles Dudley Warner writes of "The Holy Places of Islam;" Theodore Child takes us " Along the Parisian Boulevards; " and F. D. Millet has a timely article on " The Designers of the Fair." These articles are all finely illustrated, as are also " The New Growth of St. Louis," by Julian Ralph, and "A Collection of Death-Masks " (third paper), by Laurence Hutton.

"Form in Driving." Both these papers are illus trated, as is Mrs. Ellen Olney Kirk's Venetian sketch, " In a Gondola." Under the chapter, "Men of the Day," M. Crofton gossips about Dr. Pasteur, General Wolseley, and Secretary Foster. The legal profession as well as the general pub lic will be deeply interested in the article in the November Review of Reviews entitled " Ought Mrs. Maybrick to be Tortured to Death?" The controversy over her case has risen almost to the dignity of an official international question; and Mr. Stead, the English editor of the Review of Reviews, has now undertaken to investigate the matter, and comes out with a strong article, taking the American side of the case. He shows that Mrs. Maybrick was condemned on insufficient evi dence, and that her treatment is a scandal upon the name of English justice. Mrs. Maybrick is a young American woman, highly connected in this country; and her cause has been stoutly cham pioned by Mr. Blaine and all the leading people at Washington. The other contents of this num ber of this most admirable magazine are of unusual interest.
