THE SCENERY OF SWITZERLAND

AND THE CAUSES TO WHICH IT IS DUE

By the Right Hon. Sir JOHN LUBBOCK, Bart., M.P., F.R.S., D.C.L., LL.D.

With numerous plans and illustrations. Crown 8vo, $1.50.

This volume comes out appropriately at a time when English and American travelers are already beginning to think of the Swiss Alps. It will no doubt become a favorite companion to thousands of travelers during the season, and be hardly less welcome at other times of the year as a reminder of past pleasures, or to those who have not yet visited Switzerland-as a delightful foretaste of what is to come. The book is scientific in character, but the subjects are handled in the peculiar style which so many readers have learned to associate with Sir John Lubbock's name. The titles of a few chapters will give an idea of the contents: The Geology of Switzerland, the Origin of Mountains, Snow and Ice Glaciers, Valleys, Lakes, Action of the Rivers, Influence of Strata upon Scenery, The Valais, Jura, Bernese Oberland, etc.

A.Family Paper

Saturday, 25 July, 1896

The old adage that death loves a shining mark has been painfully illustrated during the past two weeks. Political life in this country could hardly have suffered

greater loss than that occasioned by the death of exGovernor William E. Russell, of Massachusetts, one of the most interesting figures in our recent political history. Born in Cambridge in 1857, educated in the public schools of that city and at Harvard College, graduating from the Boston University Law School about 1879, Governor Russell's early career was full not only of promise but of performance. His gifts of temperament, character, and intellect showed themselves at a very early age. Sixteen years ago he began the practice of law in Boston, and at once became interested in politics, acting with the Democratic party. At twenty-four years of age he became a member of the Cambridge Common Council. Two years later he was an Alderman. In 1885 he was elected Mayor of Cambridge by a large majority, and this early success was followed by two subsequent re-elections without opposition; the ability, integrity, and efficiency of his administration making him practically the only possible candidate for the position. In 1884 Mr. Russell brought himself very prominently into notice by his campaign in behalf of President Cleveland. Four years later he was nominated for Governor of Massachusetts by the Democrats and defeated. The following year he was again nominated and again defeated. The third nomination, a year later, after a hot political campaign, resulted in his election; and in two subsequent years he was re-elected, overcoming Republican majorities which were supposed to be overwhelming. Governor Russell aroused not only admiration but enthusiasm. He was one of the few young men in our politics whose career was independent of bosses

He stood for convictions, and he brought into public life independence, courage, courtesy, and a free movement of ideas. One of the worst features of the reign of the boss and the machine has been the disappearance in large measure of such young men from our public life. Governor Russell's career was an inspiring one from every point of view. He could ill be spared at any time, but his death at this moment, when the minority of the Democratic party opposed to free coinage stands in such sore need of leadership, is nothing short of a calamity.

The announcement of the death of the well-known artist and writer, William Hamilton Gibson, at his country home in Washington, Conn., on Thursday of last week, has brought a sense of personal loss not only to a wide circle of friends but to a wider circle of readers. Mr. Gibson's industry was tireless, and fears have often been expressed of late years that he was overworking; but his sturdy

figure and his intense vitality gave no sign of the sudden arrest of activity which has now come upon him in early middle life. A graduate of the well-known Gunnery School at Washington, Conn., and later of the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, Mr. Gibson's first successful work was done, very significantly, in botanical drawing. He was connected with the " American Agriculturist" and "Hearth and Home" as an illustrator, and rapidly made his way by virtue of the excellence and delicate quality of his work. Popular attention was first attracted to him by his charming illustrations in the magazines, and he soon began to supplement the work of the pencil by that of the pen, developing a very easy and agreeable style, intimate knowledge of nature, and delicate observation. His nature studies, illustrated by himself, have been among the most attractive and widely read books about nature that have appeared in recent years. He was particularly happy in his summer home at Washington, where his love of out-of-door life and his habits of observation found full play. During the past two or three years he had utilized his knowledge of the plant and insect world and his ingenuity of illustration in a series of lectures on subjects relating to natural history, which proved not only extremely popular but instructive and stimulating. Mr. Gibson was a man of great integrity of nature, modest in his estimate of himself, and simple and friendly to a degree which won him the affection and regard of a great circle of acquaintances.

A very picturesque and interesting figure disappears from religious life by the death of the Rt. Rev. Arthur Cleveland Coxe, Bishop of Western New York, one of the best-known members of the Episcopal House of Bishops, a theological controversialist of great energy and persistence, and a well-known, widely appreciated hymn-writer. Born at Mendham, N. J., in 1818, the son of one of the foremost Presbyterian ministers of the day, Bishop Coxe was educated at the University of the City of New York and the General Theological Seminary in this city, his first charge being St. Ann's Church in this city. He was subsequently at the head of parishes in Hartford, Baltimore, and again in this city, where he became rector of Calvary Church in 1863. Two years later he was consecrated Bishop Coadjutor of Western New York, and three months later he succeeded to the Bishopric. A man of great energy of nature, of vigorous mind, and of strong convictions, Bishop Coxe soon made himself very widely known. was a Catholic in the large, not in the technical, sense of the word. He discerned in advance the movement toward a revival of primitive Christianity in Italy and Germany, and he took great interest in the career of Dr. Döllinger and the development of the Old Catholic movement. was his initiative which led to the revision of the PrayerBook. Under his editorial care the Ante-Nicene Fathers have been largely republished. Several volumes of sermons, lectures, and poems bear his name, for he was an indefatigable writer. In an ecclesiastical controversy he was thoroughly aggressive, and his fight against the Roman.
