WMALDIE'S LITERARY OMNIBUs-NooeE
Wv and Important Literary Enterprise :
Novels, Tales, Biography, Voyages, Travels,
and the News of the Day.-lt was one of the
greatest objects of Walde's Library to-
make good reading cheaper, and to bring lit
erature to every mans door. That object has
been accomplished; we have given to books
wings, and they have flown to the nttermost
parts of our vast continent, carrying society
to the secluded, occupation to the literary, IN
formation to all. We now propose still fur
ther to reduce prices, and render the access
to a literary banquet more than tWofold ac-
cessbe; we gave and shall continue to give
in the cuartc library volume weekly ior two
cents a day; we now propose to give VOL
ume in the same period for less than four cents
a week, and to add as piquent seasoning to
the dish, a few columns Of short literary mat
tcrs, and a summary of the news and events
of the day. We know by experience and
calculation that we can go still further in the
matter of reduction, and we feel that there is
still verge enough for us to aim at offering to
an interesting literary appetite that mental
food which it Graves.

ever SO great a favorite will continue to make
its weekly visits, and to be issued in form
for binding and preservation, and it's price
and form will remain the same. But we shall,
in the first week of January, 1887, issue
huge sheet of the size of the largest newspa-
pers of America, but on very superior paper,
also filed with books of the newest and most
entertaining, though in their several depart
ments of Novels, Tales, Voyages, Travels,
&c., select in their character, joined with
reading such as usually should fill weekly
newspaper. By this method we hope to ac-
complsh great good; to enliven and en-
tighten the family circle, and to give to 1t, at
an expense which shall be no consideration to
any, a mass of reading that in book form would
alarm the pockets Of the prudent, and to do it
in manner that the most sceptical shall ac-
knowledge the power of concentration can
no farther go.' OF No book which appears
in Wadies Quarto Library will be published
in the Omnibus, which will be an entirely dis
tinct periodical.

In regard to the political course to be- pur
; sued by the ExpREss, it's proprietors woule
observe, that theday is passed, when it would
be considered a reproach to periodical pub
lication of this kind, to refrain from the dis
: cussion ofmatters ola party political character
: and that in their opinion the paper may bt
filed with matter other than exciting politica
dsquisitions, which shall be OF equal impor
tance to it's readers, and to the country a,
large. In making these remarks, it is not to
, be understood, that politics are to be. e.entirely
