The June Scribner.

The Scribner for June opens with "Life in a Logging Camp" by Arthur Hill. It is a very interesting sketch of camp life in Michigan, describing the finding and filling of the forest giants. The illustrations by Dan Beard are very good. "Under Cover of the Darkness" is a story by Russell Sullivan. It is a weird and withal very interesting story. It is something of a ghost story but finally everything is reasonably explained. "An Artist in Japan" is a good article though the best part of it is the illustrations. It is written and illustrated by Robert Plum. Another excellent story is "The Trouble in the Bric-a-brac Mansion" by William H. Bishop. The character of the heroine can not be called true to nature, but the story is interesting and contains some good character sketches. A dainty bit of poetry is "Egotism" by E. S. Martin. "The Birds That We See" is an article by E. Thompson. It is a sketch of the habits and peculiarities of some of the commoner New England birds, with illustrations by the author. "The Opinions of a Philosopher" is the first installment of a new serial by Robert Grant, the author of "Reflections of a Married Man," lately published. This is written in the same entertaining style, and promises well. The illustrations are rough and not as good as they might be. "The Platypus" by Sidney Dickinson is the description of a peculiar animal found in Australia. It is interesting though perhaps a little technical, and is very well illustrated. "De Profundis" by Anne Reeve Aldrich is a clever and pretty piece of poetry. "The One I Know Best of All" is dull and full of detail. It is certainly not up to the former works of the author, Mrs. Burnett.
