line poem of the time of Queen Elizabeth that he begin in Harper's Bazar for July 12. began a year or two ago. ACCORDING to a cablegram, dated July 2, addressed to the New York Times, Wilkie Collins has had a stroke of paralysis and is lying unconcious at the house of Mr. L. B. Schlesinger, in London. COL. T. W. HIGGINSON has been appointed by Gov. Ames, of Massachusetts, to undertake the writing of a history of the State's soldiers and sailors in the civil war, as provided by the last Legislature. Five years are allowed for the task. "WITH the possible exception of Uncle Tom's Cabin,'" writes Mr. Bok to the Philadelphia Times, "no American novel ever achieved such large success as did The Wide, Wide World.' In one year, something like 125,000 copies were sold, and up to the present time the sales have reached nearly 450,000 copies, as I learn from reliable figures. Yet how little one hears to-day of Susan Warner, the authoress. Few women were more popular in their time, and yet to-day she is almost forgotten. I thought of this as I stood, a few days ago, at her West Point grave. It is in the military cemetery, close by the Cadets' monument, where she was buried, in the very spot she herself selected. The grave is kept abloom by the sister of the authoress, Anna B. Warner, herself a writer. A close affection ex isted between the Warner sisters, and it is the fragrance of this, and almost only this, that indicates to the visitor at the West Point grave that the author of one of the best known novels ever written has not entirely passed from memory." JOURNALISTIC NOTES. MR. GLADSTONE has an article in the Nineteenth Century for July, entitled " Plain Speaking on the Irish Union." MR. JOHN GILMARY SHEA, the eminent scholar and historian, is hereafter to be the editor of the Catholic News. CHRISTINE TERHUNE HERRICK tells in Harper's Bazar for June 28 what to have at lawn parties and how to make it. THOMAS NAST, the cartoonist, has been, as he himself puts it, "planted newly with the Time.'' Time is the weekly humorous journal that was first issued under the title of Tid-Bits. LLOYD S. BRYCE has returned from Europe to look after the North American Review, in which he holds a controlling interest-the late Mr. Rice having left him fifty-one shares of its stock. The Andover Review for July contains from A. Taylor Innes, Esq., of Edinburgh, Scotland, a full account of the remarkable movement in favor of Creed Revision which has received so great an impulse from the action of the Presbyterian Assemblies at their recent sessions in Edinburgh. The Magazine of American History for July, 1889, contains a most interesting account of "The Story of the Washington Centennial," by Martha J. Lamb. It is liberally illustrated. A fine portrait of Mrs. Lamb, the able editor of this useful magazine, is given as a frontispiece in the same issue. WILLIAM BLACK'S new serial, "Prince Fortunatus," with illustrations by William Small, will The scenes of the story shift from London foot-lights to the breezy spaces of the Highlands. The story is full of fresh, buoyant life, and the hero has the fascination which belongs to youth, genius, and a generous temperament. Wide Awake for July is an especially attractive number. One of its features is the reproduction of eighteen portrait plaques of the beauties of Washington's time (owned by exMayor Hodges of Baltimore), with vivacious biographies by Mrs. Burton Harrison. The title of the article is "The American Court." Another American feature is Miss Seward's "Fourth of July at Robert College"-the American college in Constantinople, a seed-bed of American ideas in Europe. FOLLOWING upon the July chapters of "The Life of Lincoln "-which, as already announced, describe the President's renomination and Mr. Greeley's self-suggested peace trip up Niagara— there will probably be only six more instalments It is said that these concluding chapters deal with of this remarkable history in The Century series. the most important and absorbing personal and political topics, to which Messrs. Nicolay and Hay bring a vast fund of special information. Of the interest of the last three instalments it is only necessary to say that they cover the period from the collapse of the rebellion. the second inaugural to the death of Lincoln and LONGMANS, GREEN & Co. have the energy and courage to add The New Review, edited by Archibald Grove, to the ranks of monthly periodicals. The first issue has ninety-six pages, containing articles on "General Boulanger," by Alfred Naquet and Camille Pelletau; " After the Play," by Henry James; "Homes of the People," by Earl Compton, "National Muscle," by Lord Charles Beresford; "The Religion of Self-Respect," by Mrs. Lynn Linton; "The Unionist Policy for Ireland," by T. W. Russell; and "A Month in Russia," by Lady Randolph Churchill. The number shows excellent type and writing. At the price proposed there should be a constituency for this magazine. 12 sell at public auction, on Monday, July 8, 1889, at 10 o'clock A.M., at No. 145 Broadway, Room II, all uncollected accounts; also the right, title, and interest in and to certain books; also all I claims belonging to Thos.

PHILADELPHIA, PA.-The Publication Department of the National School of Elocution and Oratory has assumed such proportions that it can no longer be conducted to advantage as an adjunct of the original institution. It has therefore been found necessary to organize an entirely separate corporation, devoted exclusively to the publishing business. This new concern has been duly chartered under the corporate title of "The Penn Publishing Company," and begins active business July 1, 1889. The change not, only affords increased facilities for pushing the present line of books, but also opens the way for the development of a general publishing business. Mr. Charles C. Shoemaker, so long and closely identified with the old concern, continues with the new company in his former capacity of manager. PARIS, MO.-John A. Krummel, bookseller, has sold out.

BLACKWOOD have just published a novel in three volumes by the author of the tale "Aut Diabolus, aut Nihil," which, on its appearance in Blackwood's Magazine last year, caused considerable commotion in Paris. In the new story, Little Hand and Muckle Gold,' part of its plot," says the Athenæum, “is laid in Parisian society of the Second Empire, and many of its characters will be readily recognizable, while the scene is latterly shifted to England. The dénoûement is a terrible tragedy. The author believes he has struck out for himself a bolder course of treatment than contemporary English novelists usually affect. Dramatic versions of the novel in French and English are in course of being dramatized, and Madame Bernhardt proposes to sustain the chief part in the former." TERMS OF ADVERTISING.
