THE SEA1I-WEEKLY TRIBUNE
Combines many of the merits OF both the
other :ssues and Is, in some respects, the best
as well rs the cheapest paper issued
from THE TRIBUNE Office. 1t contains all the
literary agricultural, and domestic miscel-
lany, and all the special articles pre-
pared for TIE WEEKLY. 1t has besides nearly
all the news Of THE DAILY, and most OF its cdi-
torial articles not strictly local in their applca-
ton. Its scientific and educational features are
especially strong. For subscribers living be-
yond the range of TIE DAILY, and de-
pendent upon the local press for the
daily Geographic reports, THE SEMI
WEEKLY TRIBUNE is the best mctropoli
tan paper to take. 1t has been enlarged, and
changed to the new sixteon-pdge form described
below, change which has long been
asked by many of its most intelligent
patrons. 1t is immeasu1bly the most
successful Semi Weekly in the country,
having now, as it has had for years, more than
four times the circulation of any other Semi
Weekly issued in NewYork.
TIE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
This has been for a third of a century
The fay0rite paper for our substantial coun-
try population. A competent critic has
said of it: "THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE has
done moro for the settlement and prosperity
of the Great West, and has made more good
farmers and good citizens than any other
this country" During the ensuing year
it means not only to preserve all its old mer-
its, but to take a long stride ahead BY the
introduction of 100000 worth of new ma
chincry, and by an enlargement of its size
(making it the largest single sheet issued by
any newspaper in the country, il Is enabled
to give subscribers what they have
so long asked-thcir favOrite paper in a
shape easier to read and convenient for
binding. Each issue consists of sixteen pages
of the form and general appearance of Harper's
Weekly, but with pages considerably larger
and with unusually large and clear type. All
the old and standard features are carefully
preserved, while the new form and additional
size enable us to offer the following among
many novel and special attractions:
|. \ graphic series Of articles on Domestic
Life and Habits Abroad by BAYARD TAYLOR.
IL. a few papers on Current Topics from the
Christian Minister'S Point Of Viar by the Rev.
John HALL, ID. ID.
H. Occasional contributions on Political

expressly for THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE, and viii
