The October number of the ‘Pall Mall Magazine’ is as usual remarkable for tine illustrations and interesting letterpress. Among the first those of \\ ilton House will convey to colonials a very good idea of the magnificence of some of the English country seats. In a country like this where we have little or nothing of that sort of thing, these pictures are especially interesting. The Northamptonshire village jottings with the accompanying letterpress are pleasant glimpses into the rural life of a part of England that is not nearly so well known as it deserves to be. An amusing article profusely illustrated is the ‘Follies of Fashion,’ and among the stories, in addition to the continuation of Louis Stevenson’s ‘St. Ives,’ which, by the way, Mr Quiller Couch manages well, there is a tale of the Mexican prairie, and another (‘Slaine by Honoure’) by Jaques de Boys, and a third (‘Amaranth and Asphodel’) by Helen Hetherington. The article on that great soltlier, Lee. of Virginia is continued, while there is the usual amount of poetry and the delightful notes from a Cornish Window.
