THE LITERARY REvoLuTIoN = Change Of
Base, This very remarkable enterprise con-
tinues to make such progress as to astouish
its friends aud astound its enemies. Its
greatly increasing proportions have compelled
the removal of its headquarters from the 1ri-
buns Building 10 the very large and beautiful
building, No. 704 Broadway, which is in the
very midst of the +" book districs of New
York City, and, therefore, of the publishing
enterprise of the nation. This building,
though six stories in height rs feet front and
100 feet deep, is sufficient only for the offices
and retail store Of the Company. The manu-
featuring is carried on IN several large build
ipgs located in other parts of the city, though
it is contemplated concentrating them soon in
one immense factory to be erected.
Their list of recent and early forthcoming
publications are extremely interesting to all
who enjoy what is choicest in literature. The
Library Magazine is unique in both form and
character and altogether delightful in the
richness of it's contents. OF the books an
nounced, Green's larger History of the En-
glish People" reduced from $40 to 81 Car
lyle's History of the French Revolution"
reduced to 40 cents; Carlyle's Heroes and
Hero Worship" 25 cents, and the " Revised
New Testament" which is promised to be
manufactured with rapidity heretofore un-
heard of, will attract special attention. It is
worth while for every one who has not al
ready seen it, to send and get the illustrated
pamphlet, Book Making, and Type Setting
by Steam" which will be sent free upon APP
plication. Address, the American Book Elk

The recent sale of q controlling interest in
the Virginia Midland Railroad, which has been
held by the Baltimore ond Ohio In conncc-
ton with the previous action OF the Pennsylvania Rail-
road in selling its interest TO the Richmond and Danve

quired contro! of nearly all the important rail
roads in the Southern Atlantic States until now
it has about 1000 miles OF Railroad under It's
management. The main line extends from Richmond,
