in the main easily traced, although it re-

marked by a conspicuous pair OF second
magnitude stars, which are nearly in a line
from Vega to the two Guardians Of the

A little to the west and north and near

now too low to be seen well.

We have received copy of the hand
somely illustrated prospectus for 1892
issued by the Detroit Free Press. The
achievements of this famous paper in
the past have been great, but if its
promises for the future are To be full
iilled-and there certainly is no reason
to expect the contrary-Ihe Detroit
Free Press will in 1892 be, as its pub
fishers confidently claim, the most en-
tertaining and instructive paper publish
ed, giving additional pleasures to its
thousands of old subscribers and fresh
enjoyment to the many thousand new
ones that its merits deserve. Its list of
contributors for 1892 Includes many of
the most famous names in American
literary and public life and most of the
articles to be published are of unusual
Importance and interest, presenting u
splendid array of valuable features in
addition to the inimtable work done
10y its own staff of bright and famous
writers.
The Weekly Detroit Free Press is not
only the brightest humorous and liter
AIRY paper published, but it gives also
an incompatible news service. No
event or incident worth chronicling
escapes its attention. Important
matters are always treated in the full
est manner, while the ordinary news of
the day is carefully condensed in ord er
that nothing may be omitted for want
of space. Its state news service is
especially complete and valuable, while
its general and foreign news columns
are not surpassed in excellence by any
paper in the.land.
Something less than year ago The
Free Press began the publication of Il
Semi-Weekly edition, issued on Tues
days and Fridays We understand that
! the publishers are somewhat surprised
! by the success of their new venture,
although there is no reason why they
should be, for it is just such project
as is bound to succeed when backed by
the resources and skill of The Free Press
establishment This Semi-Weekly
edition fills the place of daily news
paper better than any other medium,
and at "A merely nominal cost. It's two
weekly numbers make sixteen pages,
containing all the bright features of the
literary edition of The Free Press, and
in addition, the most complete news
service known outside of the metropolis
