WW7ALDIE'S LITERARY OMNBUs--Novei
w and Important Literary Enterprisei /
| Novels, Tales, Biography, Voyages, Travels,
and the News of the Day.-It was one of the
greatest objects of Waldie'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 uttermost
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 literary banquet more than twofold ac-
cessible; we gave and shall continue to give
in the quarto library volume weekly for two
cents day; we now propose to give vol
ume in the same period for less than four cents
week, and to add as piquent seasoning to
the dish. few columns of short literary mat
ters, and 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 menta
food which it Graves.
The Select Circulating Library. now as
ever so great favorte will continue to make
its weekly visits, and to be issued in form
for binding and preservation, and its price

in the first week of January, 1887, issue a
huge sheet of the size of the largest newspa-
pers of America, but on very superior paper,
also filled 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 a weekly
newspaper. By this method we hope to ac-
complish great good to enliven and en-
tighten the family circle, and to give to it, at
an expense which shall be no consideration to
any, n 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

Ill PRESS.-The Exrkisss viii be devoted
to the interests of the sectiomof the country
in which tits located, and will be conducted
in sucha manner as to disseminate such in
formation as shall be deemed interesting and
valuable to its readers.
In regard to the political course to be pur-
sued by the EXPRESS, it's proprietors would
observe, that the day is passed, when it would
be considered a reproach to periodical pub

cussion ofmatters ofa party political character,
and that in their opinion the paper may be
filed with matter other than exciting political
which shall be of equal impor-
tance to its readers, and to the country at
large. In making these remarks, it is not to
be understood, that politics are to be entirely
excluded from the columns ofthe Express; on
the contrary, its conductors consider them
selves at liberty to animadvert freely upon the
acts and doings of all parties, as well as to
pursue independently any political course
which may be considered beneficial to the
