Nkw York, April 8, 1887.
The thousands of readers who for
the past years have enjoyed the mas
terly written histories of our own coun
try, in that popular monthly The
Jtiaznc of American Hiitoiy, have
been destined to know but little te
gardin, the personality ot its editor,
Mrs. Martha J. 'Lamb. Although one
ot the brightest ot our women wri
ters living fas I judge from her
'Iliraory of New York City"), her
name is seldom encountered in the
newspapers, save in a m.mthly review
of her hilorical monthly, by a critical
editor. Mrs. Lamb is one of the least
talked aluut women in proportion to
the solid work she his done, and his
persistently refused to give the public
any idea of her methods of work.
1 had climbed the stairs to Mrs.
Lamb's snug little perch of an edito
rial office iu the three-story building,
on Lafayette Place, and sent in my
card. After waiting a brief time the
rustling of a lady's garments was
heard, and soon Mrs. Lamb stood in
the doorway receiving me with a most
graceful bow. In appearance the fa
mous author is about five feet four

The other work is an
book by Mrs. Hancock, who accompa
nied her husband throughout all his
changes from place to place. It is full
of incidents of frontier life, adventures
on the ocean, in the long trips from
San Francisco to New York, by water;
episodes with the Spaniards in South
ern California; interesting details of
the Seminole war in Florida, and gives
many private and interesting incidents
of his life. As I am told there will be
superb Y'ortraits anl illustrations
throughout both volumes.
The May number of the Studio will
contain Mrs. Anna Lea Merritt's fine j
portrait of James Russell Lowell, in I
his robes as Doctor of Laws at Oxford, j
This is said to be the best portrait of
Mr. Lowell that has been painted, and j

is intellectual and interesting rather

Her sanctum bears evident traces of

Our publishers at present are in a
flutter of excitement concerning forth
coming works to be issued from their

New York publishers, tell me that they
are about to issue "The Victoria llirth

another edition printed in two colors;
both will be beautifully illustrated.
Furthermore they will issue "The

be accompanied by at least one hun

' 'Aery much, indeed."
j -Well, it had been suggested that
' an adequate account of New York was
wanting and that editors and scholars
would gladly welcome such a work. In
1 an idle hour when brought to the city
i for three or four month's medical treat

i rial that could be collected at the li-
i 1
braries, and in no long time nau out
lined a sketch that might have been a
convenient enough depository of the
gleanings of others. Getting inter
ested in the work as it went on, I next
proceeded to pick up a loose thread
here and there and to push investiga

A note from London just received
informs me that Mr. H. Rider Hag

novel, "She," is the occasion of a fierce
indictment of wholesale plagiarism,
brought against him by the London
press. His preceding novel "Solo
mon's Mines," which has had a great
sale, is included in the charges; he is
until altered as may be provided by
law.
Sec. 3. The board of county com
missioners shall have power to appoint
one or more list takers and assessors
for years in which there shall be an
assessment of property, for any town
or city in their respective counties

A Reflection of His Own Heart's Beara
infcs, as He Sits all Alone in
His Dreamings.
Wilson Minor.
Heretofore we have written ot wo
man Heaven's God-lent angel to man
-as she appeared in the full orbed
glory of her splendid worth, making
life brighter, sweeter, lovelier and more
attractive by the display of those an
gelic charms which give ,such a rapture
to the presence ot a pure and true and
noble woman, and which make her in
fluence a living fountain of the sweet
est and purest and holiest inspirations.
We have told how she could soothe the
breast of trouble, and spread the balm
of solace there. We have told how
the gleam of her eye would ensilver
the gloom, and make it glisten with a
lustre as bright as those brilliant tint
ings, which beam upon those dazzling
showers of radiance, which come trick
ling down from the throne of light.
We have told how her musical tones
of endearment would drown every
note of discord in life's rough field of
conflict, and make every thought ltoat ; iog V'hii si. N. Y
away in dulcet ripplings to the match
less rythm of that blessed song of rap
ture which goes ebbing around her
own sweet island of affection. Yes,
we have told how she could uproot all
the briars of care, sweep down all the
weeds of misfortune, and mingle the
flowers of brightest hope with the very
cypress of despair. Yes, we have told
all this. But there is something else
she can do. Yes, she can do much,
alas! perhaps more, to degrade man if
she chooses to do it. Who can esti
mate the evil that woman has the
power to do? As a wife she can ruin
herself by extravagance, folly, or want
of affection. She can make a demon
or an outcast of a man who might
otherwise become a good member of
societv. She can bring bickering,!
strife, and discord into what has been
a happy home. She can change the
innocent babes into vile men and even
into vile women. She can lower the
moral tone of society itself, and thus
pollute legislation at the spring head.
She can, in fine, become an instru
ment of evil instead of an angel ot
good. Instead of making flowers of
truth, purity, beauty, and spirituality
spring up in her foot steps, till the
earth smiles with a loveliness that is
almost celestial, she can transform it
to a black and arid desert, covered
with the scorn of an evil passion and
swept by the bitter blast of everlasting
death. This is what woman can do
for the wrong as well as for the right.
Is her mission a little one? Has she
no worthy work, as has become the
ory of late?
