The New York Evening Post is advertised
in another place in this paper, and we have
pleasure in commenting it to those of
our readers who desire an ably edited city
newspaper generally sound on the question
of freedom and a constant advocate of free
trade The Post is a Republican paper of
Democratic antecedents, and believes in what
it still claims to be genuine Democracy,
which, however, is not the Democracy of
Andrew johnson, nor the party which now
wrongfully usurps that name. Its articles
always worth reading, whether one
agrees with them or not. which is much
more than can be said of most political pa
pers and especially is this true Of its COM
mercial and financial discussions. We by
no means agree with the Post in its free
trade doctrines, yet there is no paper among
our exchanges which we read with more
pleasure profit
We refer our readers to the prospectus of
the Scientific american, printed elsewhere in
this paper. for information, respecting this
valuable paper. In scientific, mechanical,
and engineering matters it is, and has been
an acknowledged authority Those wanting

The advertisement of the British Periodi-
Gals will be found in another column. These
magazines, as reprinted by the Leonard Scott
Publishing Company of New York, are
cheaper than they furnished to English
readers, and are brought almost within the
reach Of every general reader in the country.
The best writers in Great Britain contribute
to their pages, and the best thought of this
generation of Englishmen and Scotchmen
finds expression in these publications. 1t Is
now quite impossible for any one who takes
an active part in the affairs Of this busy
world to read even a small part Of the best
literature written by the authors Of this
generation, but it Is possible to get some
knowledge Of all really valuable publications
through the pages OF these reviews. Every
person who desires to keep up with the lit
erature and politics Of Europe should take
these periodicals.
The Tri5unc, whose prospectus We print
elsewhere, is too well-known to all our read
ers to need Introduction from us. 1t is,
in many respects. the most valuable news
paper printed in the United States, although
it has lost some Of its popularity in the last
six years. Its managing editor, Mr.. Greeley,
is one of the most vigorous and forcibls wri
tiers in the country, and he has Just refused
the Austrian Mission because it called him
away from the presidential campaign just
