'

    In Messrs . Agnew ' s Galleries , Old Bond Street , there is an interesting exhibition of drawings of characters and scenery connected with the life of Mary Queen of Scots . The portraits

    are specially attractive . Sir James Linton , President of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours , ' and Mr . Orrock are the principal promoters .

    We are requested by the publishers of The Season to state that a person calling himself J . W . Hendy and Walter Leith , and in some instances William Perry , has been inducing intending subscribers to pay him a year's subscription in advance . The public are herewith

    warned that the publishers have no connection with this man . Mr . T . Fisher Unwin has just issued , in a limited edition , a life of Sir John Hawkwood ,

    the English soldier of fortune who is known in Italian history as * L'Acuto . ' The work was written in Italian by Mr . John Temple-Leader and Signor Giuseppe Marcotti , and has been translated by Leader Scott , the biographer of William Barnes .

    A curious anthropological discovery , we are told , was lately made in a railway cutting in New Jersey . The articles found are supposed to form the earliest traces of man on the

    American Continent . Several anthropologists of authority declare them to be palseoliths of argillite , characteristic of the first efforts to form sharp edges in stone .

    cantankerous since the terrible war of 1870 . In this bock also M . Alphonse Daudet seeks to justify his famous attack on the French Academy in ' L'Immortel . '

    The Rev . Dr . A . K . H . Boyd is to he the next Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland . He first became known in literature as a contributor to Fraser ' s

    Magazine , where he wrote under the initials of ' A . K . H . B . ' Since ' The Recreations of a Oountry Parson' first appeared he has published many volumes of sermons and essays .
