Under the judicious care of Dr. Hotlan’, “Timothy Titcomb,” Scribner's Monthly ms now Le said to be firmly established as a suc cessful paying magazine. This is the more sa!- isfactory and creditable from the fact that Scritner’s, like the Atlantic Monthly, is essential- ly an American prodact, though, as in the pres- ent number, leading European writers are rep resented. Dr. Holland not only finds time to edit Scribner's thoroughly well, but is writing a serial story for it entitled “‘Arthar Bonni- castle,” that promises to be the best American novel of the decade.

It would realty seem that the Appletons, aided by Prof. Youmans, have succeeded in the attempt, which has involved so many failures, to establish a monthly journal of science in this country. That they have accomplished this ts doubtless due to the fact that the scientific Gata presented is sufficiently popularized to give it interest to unprofessional as well as to scientific readers. ‘The Kclectic entersupon its twenty-ninth year in 1873, and is likely to continue, under ite ca- pable management, to supply to American rea > ers the best articles of the most authoritative thinkers and writers in the field of foreign cur- rent literature.
