The publishers take pleasure in announcing an unusual amount of good fiction. Early issues of the Atlantic will contain The Apparition of Gran'ther Hill, by Rowland E. Robinson; Pilgrim Station, by Mary Hallock Foote; Athenaise, a Creole Story, by Kate Chopin; The End of the Terror, by Robert Wilson, a Southern writer. Aside from these, there will be stories by Mrs. Wiggin, Henry James, L. Dougall, Ellen Mackubin, and others.

Conspicuous in the Fall issues will be papers of Travel. Lafcadio Hearn will contribute sketches and interpretations of the new Japan. There will be further papers in Mr. Peabody's An Architect's Vacation series, the forthcoming one being entitled The Venetian Day. A delightful paper of Spanish travel by Mrs. Miriam Coles Harris can be promised, and Alice Brown will write of a visit to the original Cranford. Bradford Torrey will publish further sketches of life and nature in his Tennessee haunts. Other articles of special interest, which can perhaps be classed under this head, will be Reminiscences of Eastern Travel by Miss Harriet Waters Preston; and Josiah Flynt, who has become an authority on the vagrant, will contribute one of his entertaining studies of tramp life, The Children of the Road.

The subject of Education will, as usual, receive attention. The Atlantic was the first of the leading magazines to make the discussion of important educational questions one of the features of its pages. In early issues will be printed articles by President Tucker, of Dartmouth, and Professor J. H. Wright, of Harvard

The usual departments and the exhaustive book-reviews will continue to be features of each issue.
