The Galaxy.
The Galaxy for 1871 promises even greater
attractions than heretofore. One distinctive
feature of the Galaxy is, the bright sharp way
in which it is edited. Every bject of popular
interest is at once siczed upon and written up
by the most competent person.
The Galaxy has gathered around itself a staff
of the most popular writers in every depart
ment, and it is clear that every number is made
up with the same unity of purpose and nice
disccrnment OF the public taste, which charac-
teriZes our most successful daily and weekly
papers. 1t has been the custom for magazines
to furnish the public with the best selection
they could make from such articles as were
sent to them for publication. The day for this
has past, and the editor Of q first-clsss maga-
zine has q very different duty to perform from
reading manuscript, and culling out the best.
He must create: He must msp out the style OF
magazine he wishes to produce. and then seek
out the most competent persons to prepare ar
ticles upon subjects on which the public desire
to read. This important change in the require
ments Of magazine literature, The Galaxy was
the first to discern, if it did not itself create
the change.
Among the attractions for the coming year,
The Galaxy has engaged Porte Crayon TO
furnish series Of sketches of Lille and
Adventure, which will revive the old IN
terest in his pictures of American scenes.
