IN THE EDITORS LIBRARY.

The editor of the Democrat recently purchased q set Of books which have proven so unusual in interest as well as beauty of appearance that he con siders them worthy of special notice. The set is the famous library entitled Modern Eloquence," produced under the editorship of the late ex-Speaker Reed. This is a work consisting of ten elegant volumes, which can be secured at very moderate price considering the wealth of it's contents and the beau ty of its binding. As its name implies, 1t consists of words of wit and wisdom from the leading orators of the time
 The reputation of those who are repre- sented in this work is such that they could not afford to give anything which was not good. and, of their good, the very best has been carefully chosen. The hundreds of subjects dealt with include all those which from time to time occupy the attention of the thoughtful. The mere enumara- lion of these subjects would occupy 8 column of this paper. To give list of the names of the contributors would mean simply the transcrihing of the most famous in arms, in arts and song, who have charmed and captivated a,i- diences from the lecture platform, and who have been instructed and enter tained by after dinner speeches. Those who are interested in this work (whicn should mean all who care for really good reading) should write to the pub fishers. John D. Morris &5 Go, Chestnut street, Philadelphia, for a large and handsome portfolio, containing sample, full page photogravures and chromatic plates. and specimen pages of brilliant after dinner speeches, lectures, ad- dresses, anecdotes, etc. This is on the principle of taste and try before you buy.'' and is i'll itself proof positive of the full confidence of the publishers in the value Of the work which thex are nfferinG k0 khA nNhliQ -77-
