Harper's New Monthly Magazine Volume 34 December 1886 to May 1887 . f the chi- rurgeons grave-stone, set nearly 268 yearsago, under which the fictitious pall-bearernow finds rest. Mr. John Hawkins, ofNewberry, South Carolina (LiteraryWorld, February 7, 1885), has a soldiersdiary, picked up by a Confederate at thebattle of the Wilderness—a diary extend-ing between February 17 and December31, 1862; on a fly-leaf is written the spu-rious epitaph.

The differencein the external customs and institutionsis more apparent, perhaps, but is less im-portant and profound than the divergencesexisting in the thouglit or tlie intellectualcast of these two great divisions of thehuman race. The Persians resemble Europeans, orrather the Latin people, more than do oth-er Asiatics, and yet, from the great gulfexisting between Persian and Frenchman, one who has never be
