The ever-increasing migration to the Tropics from American ports will probably receive a fresh stimulus from the article on the Highlands of Jamaica, which Lady Blake, the wife of the Governor of Jamaica, contributes to the March number of the North American Review.
“THE FLOWERS OF CHILI.”
This week’s issue of Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper being the colored number, contains a beautiful page of portraits of the handsome women of Chili, a sleighing scene in Chicago, character sketches from the tenth annual dinner of the famous Clover Club of Philadelphia, illustration of the Young Women’s Christian Association and Margaret Louisa Home of New York City, and of the “Captain Prat,” the formidable Chilian ironclad. The Children’s Department contains a beautiful story entitled “Majorie’s Valentine,” and the Graphological Department is full of interest, while the fashion letter and editorial pages, together with the beautiful colored front page, make this number the handsomest that the Arkell Weekly Company has ever published. Price only 10 cents; 12 numbers $1.00, with flower premiums catalogued at $1.25 by Messrs. Peter Henderson & Co., $1.25.
The complete novel in Lippincott’s Magazine for March, “A Soldier’s Secret,” is by Captain Charles King, who alone among living Americans has the secret of the military tale. What he does not know about army life in the West is not worth knowing, and what he knows he can impart with unsurpassed and unfailing charm. The post, the bivouac, the battlefield,—whatever goes on at these he makes to live again before us; for he has been a part of it all, and his heart is with the cavalry still. His last story has a very recent theme; the Sioux war of 1890,—and will be found equal to any of his previous work.
