EDITORS TABLE.

With this issue 1.-THE Galaxy" completes
its tyenty-fourth volume and the twelfth
year Sf its existence. 1t started to be the
foremSt literary magazine in the country.
Entirey discarding mere pictorial attractions
and stictly local connections, its aim has
been tdpresent each month the choicest pos
sible lierary bill Of fare to its readers. 1t
has ainsd to be thoroughly up to the times
in the shcice of subjects which it has dis
cussed, Ind most of the live questions of the
day are bly treated in its pages. Its liberal
policy and high literary tone have drawn to
It contributions from some OF the ablest OF
rourstatcfnen. Many ofthese contributions
are of th( greatest importance, and give an
inside yAW of our current history which
could nototherwise be obtained. Secretary
Wells hasgiven its readers an inside view
of our na1l operations during the rebellion,
and in histories of papers on Mr.. Lincoln
and Mr.. Seyard has given many exceedingly
interestingrevelations as to the position,
views and cts of Mr.. Lincoln and the lead
ing membes of his Cabinet on the great
questions which engaged their attention.
By givinghospitable reception to the ex-
preston. of arying opinions, and inviting
rather thanl repressing individuality OF
thought, viey and statements, this Maya
zine commands a class of contributions
which otherwise might find no place i'll pc
riodical literature.
In the deprtment of lighter literature
and indeed in III departments, 1t will try to
make itself eaaable, and also worthy OF the
reading public,
It's safe to sg that The GALAXY has, dur.
ing the year jus, closed, contributed its full
share to give interest and value to our cur
rent literature, nd this fact is the best guar
antee that it willnot fail its readers i'll the
year to come.
