 Mr. Henry Dalby, a well-known and respected Journalist nf this city, has been 
 for some months past publishing a periodical which all persons, whose hu-iness 
 demands acvurai-y of date, all students uf contemporary hi..tt>ry, all newspaper 
 writers, and, In fact, all periu>ns who would liavii wl<hin ruach an unf<iiiiii{ 
 aide-memnireia to the chronoliigyof their owu tline, will And eil'ernely useful. 
 It Is entitled " Tlir \ndtx qf Ciirrtnt Eventt," and is published weekly. Though 
 necessarily brief, the record of etwh suoceasive nutewor hy event is sufHoiently 
 clear to ben» mistake as to it-* purpart. Where fuller Inforniatloii l< Kouglit. the

 The fa'fsjto/ Currtct £cs»(s, a weekly publication by Henry Halliy, M CJnl- 
 versity street, Montreal, Is lui eiotuently valuable enterprise. It tauirijglily 
 reviews recent events, and id a great help to historically Inclined reoddra. 
 
 (FBO.M THE TOBONTO EMPIRE.) 
 
 The memory of the average Individual Is seldom able to recsll with aeonracy 
 Information regarding recent events. It is surprising how vague the Ideas of 
 people are as to the exact dale when evenu happened within the preceding year 
 or half year. Processional men often need Just such knowledge, and are fre- 
 quently at a los without it unless a gooJ deal of time be spent in "hunting up" 
 the facts requlreiL Mr. Henry Dalby, a well-known Montreal journalist, U 
 Issuing an Index n/ Current KctHf to obviate this dllHauUy. FUe fn<ti>.t Is a 
 complete compendium. Issued weekly, of the occurrences, recorded from every 
 liartof ttie world In the columns uf the newi^papcrs. l^soh entry is brief, but 
 tbegi.tof tlio mntter is there, .and fuller details can be obtaiued by turning to 
 a newspaper tlie, an ea^y performance when one '<nows the exact date. The 
 Inilex will be Hlinply invsluable in a newspaper oSce, while mauyoihers besides 
 Juuriuillsts will consider It a great convenience.

 Mr. Henry Dalby, n well-known and respected journalist of this city, has been

 llisentltlcir' Tin Index of Current Ernit.H," and ih publlshctl weekly. Though 
 neceHSKrily brief, the record of each successive noteworhy event Is hulHclenily 
 clear to be no ndstakc as toHs purport. Where fuller information U sought, tho 
 date supplies prompt indication of luindredH of aulhorltlo.t on thcHubjcct, lus the 
 reader has only to turn up the tile of his local newspaper to bring all the par- 
 ticulars back to his mind. No memory however active and extensive couhlkeep 
 track of the r.ipid sutxcssnni of occurrcnci'sof every nature and dime which, in 
 this lelegritphic a^re, form tho raw material of history. Hut by this ingenious 
 plan the Hearcher is never astray. Instead of perplexing liimsclf and boring hit) 
 [ friends, he cmisuIlH lias liulex, umi there, if a politician, he tlnds the eleethm of 
 I which he desired Iln'tlatc ; if a business man. the failure, t)r tho riHo In wheat 
 or tUeprouiulgutionof the new tariff ;if an insuruucu agent, heisatnoloss as 
 ' tu the tire in which ho Is lulerestod ; if a sportsman, he can learn when the 
 great racocomcs oiT. In line, fuch a chroiudoglcal record is invaluable to some 
 and serviceable to all. The subscription is $(i, payable yearly or half-yearly, in

 WHO SUBSCltlBK TO THE 
 
 INDEX OF CURRENT EVENTS." 
 
 Tlie " Iiiili'x 1)1' (iiiiTont Events" is much appreciated 
 not (iiily l>y the picss of Caiiaila and tlie Unite<l States, 
 but also liy tlie public men of both countries. Its list of 
 subscribers includes such yreat newspapers as the Phila- 
 delphia Liihjcr, the i'.oston Traiificript, the New York 
 World, the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Ibooklyn Eagle, the 
 Toronto Eiiijiiri', the Clevelund Lender, tla^ Chicago 
 HeniliJ, the ( 'ini innati Po.vV, the New York MurniiHj

 Journal, the New York ^i'/k;', the Troy Budijet, the Chi- 
 cago Slaats Xciliitif/, the New York Xatiov, the Troy 
 PreKn, the Washington »S7(rr, the Chicago Inter-Ocean, and 
 many less known l)ut im|iortant mnvspajiers. Some of 
 tlies(> jiapers iive well kunu n to keep admirable indexes of 
 their own, yet find it advantageous to subscribe to the 
 Inkkx (IK Cinii!i;xT Evknt^*. We have the honor to 
 include among oui' siibscriliers, Her Majesty's Privy 
 Council fur Canada ; also, Sir John Macdonald, G. C. B., 
 Premier of the Dominion, Sir Hector Langevin, Minister 
 of Public Works, Sir A. V. Caron, Minister of Militia, the 
 Hon. (!, E, Foster, Minister of Finance, the Hon. Macken- 
 zie Biiwell, ^Minister of Customs, tlie Hon. J. A. Chapleau, 
 Secretary of S'.r.re, the Hon. .rohn Costigan, Minister of 
 Inland I'evcniic, the Hon. John Haggart, Postmaster 
 (leneral, the Hon. John Carling, Minister of Agriculture 
 the Hon. C. H. Tapper, Minister of Afarine and Fisheries, 
 the Hon. Commissioner of Agriculture and Colonization 
 Quebec, the Hon. Boucher de La Bruere, late speaker of 
 the Legislative Council, Quebec, the Hon. Lieutenant 
 Governor Jiciyal, Mr. I'jastus Wiman, the Ibm. Minister 
 ol I'ulilic Wnvks, Tiirontci. 'i'he t.iiira'.ian of Parliament, the 
 House of Commons Heading loiiim and the Librarians of 
 many of the Provinces of the Dominion and States of the 
 Union suhseribi' to the Index. The leading bankers 
 (including the ]?ank of Montreal), brokers, lawyers and 
 hotel keepers of Canada, and many clergymen also keep 
 the Indcr on lilc. 
 
 What is thought of the fude.v may be gathered from the 
 numerous entirely unsolicited expressions of approval sent 
 in by well known public men, of which the following are 
 specimens : 
 
 Mil. .Maktin fl. (ntiFPiN, l.iiiKAniAN OK Paui.iamknt, Ottawii, writes >

 cillnrimiiia to nive the ilaten ami lijiuri'rt of elt'iMioiiH mid the liiitos of speeches of 
 public men. with reference also to the place at which the speech was dolivereii, 
 you will do a very grateful thing for public people ami editors, and I nu\y add 
 librarians. 
 
 Mh. John M. Doane, Statk I. iiiAiiiAxof Ohio, writes ;— Enclosed please 
 And six dollars, in payment for SUtt« Llhrary subscription to the "Index of 
 Current Events " for 18lt!i. 
 
 I regard it as a very vuitiable publication, and hope that you may meet with 
 suehsucceasas to warrant its continuance, for it will grow more valuable every 
 year. 
 
 Mh. I!KHHiES,or t.ie Bkooklvn Eaylt, writes -.—''I congratulate you most 
 heartiiynpon having done a good thing, a very good thing, in starting the "/«(/***■ " 
 enterprise. 1 hope 1 may have the joy of congratulating you ujiou your successa 
 year hence. A man with Iiitifx on the brain is one after my own heart. My 
 judgment was formed upon Number 1 ; if the indexing is kept up as thoroughly 
 ill all subsetiuent numbers it M'ill be a great help to us. " 
 
 SIKCIIARLKsTCITKII, BAHT., HlOHCu.MMI8SIO.NEItF01lCANADA, writes :— 
 
 "It seems to me to be a very useful pubticatlon, aud one that will be valuable fo 
 reference purposes." 
 
 Mu. Blrk, Associate Editoh of the PiiiLALiELriiiA I'nblic Ledger. 
 writes :— " Your Index Is highly appreciated at this oflice. where I has longbeen 
 a desideratum.'* 
 
 Mr. Coi.oriiorN ok iiie "Toronto EMriKE, writes ;—" .Vliow mo to 
 congratulate you niO'Jt cordially upon your udiuirable Imif^x. The idea and 
 its execution are alike worthy of all praise." 
 
 Mr Vadkn, of the " New- York -Morn i.nu Jot rnai.," writes .—" I Hud 
 the Iniiicea of great value, saving, as they do. much valuable time in looking up 
 important events." 
 
 Mr. Will A. Woodward, Ukc Skc. M.vss. Press Aj^sociation. writes :-- 
 Enclosed please lind subscription for one year for " Index of Cilrren. ^^veiils.'- 
 I have examined the specinion sent ine with much intprest and do not hesitate to 
 commend it as an invalnabie assistant in the newpaper olhcp. The amount of 
 time and lahor it is calculated to save, cannot be compeusuted by oneliuniked 
 times its subscription rate,

 The Iwhx ispiihli^heil four tiiiie.'iii iimiitli ; but to foi'iii acoiuplcle

 We liave to acknowledge with Ihauks the n'ec.|il ot a large niiniln'r ot

 eiiially for tlie iLse of editors, anil has loilcpcnil cliietly uimn its eontenl-

 William H. Eagle, State Librarian of Pennsylvania. Tho 
 leading bankers (including the Bank of Montreal), brokers, 
 lawyers and hotel keepers of Canada, and many clergy- 
 men also keep the Index on file. 
 
 What is thought of the Index may be gathered from the 
 numerous entirely unsolicited expressions of approval sent 
 in by well known public men, of which the following are 
 specimens : 
 
 Mb. Martik J. QBirnx, Libbariaa or Parltamixt, Ottawa, writet 
 lam sending you a subaorlptlon for two copies of your " Indtx," which 
 will be moet useful and which deserves encoursKenient. If you will take parti- 
 cular pains to giTe the dates and llgures of eleetlons aud the dates o( ipMohe* of 
 public men. with reference also to the place at which the speech was deUvered, 
 you will do a very grateful thing for public people and editors, and 1 may add 
 librarians. 
 
 Mr. John M. Doane, Stati LiUBABiANof Ohio, writes :— EiicUmmI please 
 Bnd six dollars. In payment for State Library subscription to the " Index of 
 Current Events " for 1889. 
 
 I regard it as a very valuable publication, and hope that you may meet with 
 such Buccessaa to warrant Its continuance, .or it will grow more valuatle every 
 
 year. 
 
 Mr. Herbies,ofthb Brooklvk Eagle, writes :— "I congratulate you most 
 heartily upon having done a good thing, a very good tbiug, In starting the " Index *' 
 enterprise. I hope I may have the juy of congratulating you upon your success a 
 year hence. A man with Inilex on the brain Is one after my own heart. >l f 
 judgment was formed upon Kamber I ; it the indexing Is kept up as tborougbij 
 in all subsequent numbers It will be a great help to us. " 
 
 SibChablksTui'Per.Bakt , lIuiuCoHaissioaBBroKCANASA, writes:— 
 
 " It seems to me to be a very useful publication, and one that will be Tsiuablefo 
 
 reference purposee." 
 
 Mb. Burk, Associate Editor op the Puii.Aj>EI.rRiA Public ledger 
 
 writes :— " Your Index is highly appreciated at this office, where it has long been 
 
 a desideratum." 
 
 Mb. CoLOonouH of the "Toronto Empibb, write* :—" Allow me to

 the Indicet of great value, saving, as they do, much valuable lime In looking up 
 
 important events." 
 
 Mb. Will A. Woodward, Rec. Sec. Mass. Press Association, writes :- 
 
 Enclosed please Bnd subscription for one year for " Index of Current Kveats." 
 I have eaanined the specimen sent me with much Interest and do not hesitate to 
 commend It as an invaluable assistant in the newpaper office. The amount of 
 time and labor it Is calculated to save, cannot be compensated by one hundred 
 times its subscription rate, 
 
 Ounimencing with Vol. II No. I the dates given in the Index are 
 
 the actual dates of the occurrences; not as formerly th 3 dales of 
 
 publication. 
 
 The Index is published four times a month ; but to form a complete 
 file for the year it is necescary to preserve only the first issue in 
 
 each month 
 The intermediate issues contain the news of the current month 
 
 to date. 
 The subscription is $6 per annum, payable yearly r)r half yearly 
 
 in advance. licmittaoces should be made to

 TO ADVERTISERS. 
 
 HOW TO GET TUI3 MOST SEttVICK FOIl THE 
 MONEY ! 
 
 The Advertiser wbo would b« williii({ to piiy twonty-Bve cents for every 
 family who could be •' educated " up t" tlie value of Ilia goodit would thu* 
 devote $3,OUU,UU0 to educate the U.diW.ilOt) tauiiliHS wiiioli umke up llie 
 60,000,000 people of the Uiiiie 1 States. This sum would do the busiiieis 
 thoroughly in a year, for it ij Mutlicicut to pay l<>r the iiHi'i-iiou of a full 
 column in every issue of efery publication, and for rcsctling the innttcr, 
 making it new in every iii:<ue of each separate publication. We will 
 receive and execute the contract. 
 
 $10.— We devote all necessary care to plioiui? small orders for Adverti- 
 sing: — even the amnllestl Tiuie is saved by sending check with the 
 order. Often the Advertiser is not possessed of sntlieieut inforniatiuu on tlie 
 iubject to enable him to jud({e of the merits of an estimate for advertising, 
 and he decides by the footings of the ligures whetlier he will or will not 
 do the work. Vet the estimate binds tlie Agent, and makes ii improper 
 for him to make any variation in its S[tecificatioiis, however much his judg- 
 ment may point to material oliang'^s which ought to be made This is 
 gpecially liable to be the case when the order cuiues a considerable ti'ue 
 after the estimate was made. 
 
 $50. — If you are in the habit of occasionally in.serting a small adver- 
 tisement in a few papers, investing a few dollars, and carefully noting the 
 result, we desire you to make truil of our Advertising Bureau, seniling us 
 the advertisem-nl and the money, le^iving tlie .selection of llie papers to lis, 
 and Judging of the service rendered by lesults rather than by names, circu- 
 lation claims or prices. To make up careful estimates calls for much work. 
 It does not pay to lutke llicin indiscrimiuately for every applicant. If 
 such estimates as are askeii for were always given, the Advertiser who 
 wished to expend SftO would frequently hnd himself iu possession ut the 
 scheme which it would cost $.~iOO or possibly $'>,UU0 to carry out. 
 
 $100.— The Advertiser who sends his advertisements, asking for the 
 best service possible for one hundred dollars, will often get from five to 
 fifijr per cent, more service for his money than he would had be required 
 us to tell him in advance exactly what service we would promise ; for 
 \.'hen an estimate has been given its plan and speciHoations must, in a 
 general way at least, control the advertising to be done. It ties the 
 Agent's hands, and prevents his giving his patrons lo-lifi a better service 
 than he could have promised yesterday, because yesterday the opportunity 
 had not presented itself : fo-inorrow it may have filiated! Some publications 
 are used most economically on contracts for a simile issue; in others, iiiscr- 
 tiim for a month may be had as cheaply as for a single week ; but in fur- 
 nishing an estimate in advance, if the Agent attempts to go iii'.o details, 
 bis correspondence becomes voluminous and the adverti^Jer confused. 
 
 $2.')0. — Prepare a small advertisement and send with check for $250, or 
 any other sum. The practice of asking the Agent to name his papers in 
 advance compels him to mime such as are well known, otherwise there is 
 reason to suspect tiiat his judgment is liiased ; — mid tlie Uat iM/iers do not 
 like to have their ratex quoted be/ow their gchedule. 
 
 $500. — Leading newspapers, especially the leading AgricnUnral news- 
 papers, freqiienily issue large special editions (of twenty, fifty, one hnndred. 
 or even five hundred thiui.-iand co|ties). and solicit advertisement orders 
 from US, on terms which would often be aecepteil by our patrons if lliere 
 was time to invite altentioti to the matter ; bui the quesi ion must gen- 
 erally be decided before tliere would lie time to write and receive a reply, 
 and often the case cannot be fully stated within the limits ofa letter. 
 
 $1,000. — If we are given authority to insert advertisements to a limited 
 amount, in such iiieiliiims as oiler inducements wh ch seem to ns specially 
 fav*)ratile. we shall not abuse the confidence reposed in us. aiul shall 
 render statements of wbalever is done (it anything) from day to day. 
 When tritiited with the placing of an advertisement, we are put upon 
 honor, and are bound in honor to give the best service possible tor the 
 money to be used. 
 
 $5.000. — One of the most successful Advertisers we ever bad always 
 ordered his advertisements in this way, " Gel the best service yon can for 
 me for $5,000,'' leaving every detail to us. We were thus enalileii to say 
 to a Publisher, if you put this in at a large rediiclioti from your rate it 
 will he no criierion for further tran-actions. It wrt.s a siirurise to fiini 
 ourselves -JO often able to cotilraet for the insertion of that particular 
 advertisement lit half rates, in papers which would not permit us to <;/.', t 
 their oolumus at a peony's devia'ioii from their printed schedule. The 
 advertising rates of one New York paper are double those of another 
 which has twice the circnlaiiou ot tlie first. Similar discrepancies are not 
 uncommon. The advertisement entrusted to ns to be idaced in accordance 
 with our judgmentoften does double service l^rhalf the money. A dollar 
 for twenty-live cents.

 TO ADVERTISERS. 
 
 HOW TO GET THE MOST 8EBVICE FOR THE 
 MONEY ! 
 
 The Advertiser who would be willing to pay twentj-flve cents for every 
 family who could be '' educated " up to the value of his K0"d9 would thus 
 devote $3,000,000 to educate the 1J,000,(I00 fauiilies which make u|i the 
 60,000,000 people of the United Htates. This sum would do the business 
 thoroughly iu a year, for it is aullicicnt to pay for the insertion of a full 
 column in every issue of o<ery publication, and for resetting the tnalter, 
 making it new in every Issue of each separate publiciiliou. We will 
 receive and execute the coiilr.ict. 
 
 $10. — We devote all necessary care to plucing small orders for Adverti- 
 sing: — even the smallesti Time is saved by sending check with the 
 order. Often the Advertiser is not possessed of sufficient information on the 
 subject to enable him to judge of the merits of an estimate for advertising, 
 and he decides by the footings of the figures whetljcr he will or will not 
 do the work. Vet the estimate binds the Agent, and makes it improper 
 for him to make any variation in its spccihcatious, however much his judg- 
 ment may p.iii • to material changes which ought tu he made This is 
 specially liable to be the case when the order comes a considerable time 
 after the estimate was made. 
 
 $50. — If you are in the habit of occasionally inserting a small adver- 
 tisement in a few pa|iers, investing a few dollars, iind carefully noting the 
 result, we desire you to make trial of our Advertising Bureau, sending us 
 the advertisement and the money, leaving the selection of the papers to us, 
 and judging of the service rendered by results rather than by names, circu- 
 lation claims or prices. To make up careful estimates calls for much work. 
 It does not pay n mike them indiscriminately for every applicant. If 
 such estimates as are askeil lor were always given, the Advertiser who 
 wished to expend $50 would frequently Hud himsill in possession of the 
 scheme which it would cost ^.'iOO or possibly $"),0(l0 to carry out. 
 
 $100.— The Advertiser who sends his adveitisements, asking for the 
 best service possible for one hundred dollars, will often get from five to 
 fifty per cent, more service for his money than he would had he retpiired 
 us to tell him in advance exactly what service we wotdd promise; for 
 when an estimate has been given its plan and specifications must, in a 
 general way n,l least, control the advertising to be done. It ties the 
 Agent's bands, and prevents his giving his patrons lo-.lit;/ a better service 
 than he could have promised yesterday, because yesterday the opportunity 
 liad not Jiresented itself : In-morrow it mm/ have prntsed! Home publications 
 are used most economically on contracts for a single issue ; iu others, inser- 
 tion for a month may be had as cheaply as for a single week ; but in fur- 
 nishing an estimate in advance, if the Agent attempts to go into iletails. 
 bis correspondence becomes voluminous and the advertiser confused. 
 
 $2.')0. — Preimre a small adverii.sement and send with check for $250, or 
 any other sum. Tne practicf of asking tlie Agent to name his papers in 
 advance compels him to name such as are well known, otherwise there if 
 reason to suspect that his judgment is hinsed ; — niul llie heal jin/iers Jo iiol 
 Uke to hare thrir rtiten quoted beloiv tht'ir schedule. 
 
 $5110.— Leading newspapers, especially the leading Agricullunil news- 
 papers, frequently issue large S)iecial editions (of twenty, filly, one hundred, 
 or even five hundred thousand copies), and solirit advertisement orders 
 from us, on terms which would ofieii be accepted by our patrons if lliere 
 was time to invite altentioo to the mailer ; luH the ipiesiion must gen- 
 erally be decided before there would be lime to write and receive a reply, 
 and often ihe case cannot he fully stated within the limits of a l';tter. 
 
 $1,000. — If we are given authority to insert advertisements to a limited 
 amount, in such mediums as oiler indiicenii'iits wh cli seem to us specially 
 favoratpie. we shall not abuse the eonlide ice reposed in us, and shall 
 render statements ot whatever is done (if any thing) from day to day 
 When <rH»^'ii with the placing of an advertisement, we are put upoiis 
 honor, and are bouud iu honor to give the ticst service po ssible for the 
 money to be used. 
 
 $5,000 — One of the niost successful Advertisers we ev er bad alway 
 ordered his adverli-enienis iu this way, '' (Jet the best S"rv ice you can for 
 me for $.'i,000," leaving every detail to iia. We were thus enaiiled to sav 
 to a Publisher, if you put this in at a large rediiciion from your rale it 
 will be no crileriou for further Iran-actions. It was a sun'rise to find 
 ourselves so often able to contract for the inseriion of that particular 
 advertisement at half rates, in papers vvhicli would not iiermit us to offer 
 their columns at a |)ennj s deviaiioii from their printed schedule. The 
 advertising rate of one New York paper are double those of another 
 which has twies the circnlaiion of the first, ii^iniilar discnpaiicies are not 
 uncommon. The advertisement enlroslcd to us to be placed in accordanc' 
 with our judgment often does double service fur hall the money. A dollar 
 for twenty-five cents.

 UOW TO GET THE MOST SERVICE FOR TUE 
 MONEY ! 
 
 The Ailvcrli^Jcr who wotilil l)i! williiij; to ii:iy twenty-five cents for overy 
 tsiraily who could be '' ejiictiteil *' up tu the vrtliie (if liis floods would tlius 
 devote $:i,OO0,oii0 to cduciile the I2,ollii,iinO families which ni-ike up the 
 (10, 011(1,000 people of the I'uiled Stilted. This sum woidd do the busiiie- 
 tlioroughly ill ii yenr, lor it i.s siillicieut to pay fir the iiHcrtion of a fin' 
 culunin ill every is.sue of every imhliciilioii, and for icsetliii^,' the nmtler, 
 nmking it new in every is.-iiie of eiicli sepiiriite piililicaliou. We will 
 receive and e-tecutc the contract. 
 
 $10. — We devote all necessary care to phicing small orders for Adverti- 
 sing:— even the smallest! Time is saved by sendin;; check with the 
 order. Often the .\dvertiser is not possessed of snilicient tnl'ormation on the 
 subject to enable him to judge of the merits of an estiinate fa advertising, 
 and he decides by the footing's of Ihe ligiiies whether lii' will or will not 
 do the work. Yet Ihe eslimale binds the Agent, and makes it improper 
 lor him to make any varialion in its specilieiitioiis, however much bis judg- 
 ment may point to material changes which ought lo be made. This is 
 specially liable to be the case when Ihe ordei comes a considerable time 
 after the eslimale was made. 
 
 $,Mi.— If yon are in the habil of occMsioimlly inserting a small ailver- 
 tiseinent in a tew papers, iiivesling a few dollars, and carefully noting ihe 
 r'Sult, we desire you lo make trial of our Aovertising llurcan, sending us 
 the adverlisemeui and the money, leaving theseleclion of Ihe papers to iis 
 and judging of Ihe siu'viee vendered by results rather than by nami'S, circn- 
 lalion claims or prices. To make up careful eslimalescalls for much work. 
 It diH'S ooi pay to make them indiscriminately bir every applicant. lf| 
 such eslinialesas are asked for were always given. Ihe Ailverliser who, 
 wished lo expend !?."iO would Ireipieuily tind himsell in iiossession o( the I 
 scheme wliicb it would cost 5>.'>U0 or possibly .■^.■•,000 lo carry out. i 
 
 SIOO.— The .Adverliser who sends his advei tisemenis, asking for the' 
 best service [lossible for one hundred dollars, will often get from live to I 
 lifty per cent, more service for his money than be would had be reipiired i 
 us lo lell him in advance e.vadly what service we would |iroiiiise ; fori 
 when an estimate has been given its plan and sjiecihealious must, in a ' 
 general way at least, control the advertising to be done. II ties the ' 
 Agent's hands, and prevenls his giving his patrons lo-.hni a better service | 
 than he I'oiild have promised yesti'rday. because yesterday the opportunily | 
 had nol presented iiself : lu-mnrrun- it mni/ Imrr /i.ixs, ,/,' Some publications 
 are used most economically on coiitracis lijr a single issue ; in tiihers, inser- 
 lion for a nionlli may lie had as cheaply as bir a single week , but in fur- 
 nishing an estimate in advance, if the .\geiit nltempls lo go in'.o delaiU, 
 Ilia correspondence becomes voliiniinous and the advertiser confused. I 
 
 S'J.IO. — I'reiiare a small iidverlisemeni and send with check for J2,"iO, or 
 any other sum. The jnactice of asking the Agent lo name his pa|iers in 
 advance com[)els him to n.'inie such as ate well known, otherwise there is 
 reason to suspect thai his juilgment is biased ; — mi. I tin limi iiii/nrn Jo nol 
 Iikt' hi /I'lir Ihi'ir liitru 'juutcil /if/oir l/n'ir nc/icliilf, 
 
 $1110. — Ijcailing newspapers, especially the leading Agricultural news 
 papers, fivcpieiiily issue large speci.al edilioiis(of twenty, HIty, one hundred 
 or even live hundred ihousand co)»ies). and solicit adverlisemenl oniers 
 from us, on terms which would ofien be accepted by our patrons if there 
 was time to invite attention to the matter ; but the ipieslion must gen- 
 erally be decided belore there would be tinie to write and receive a reply, 
 and often the case cannot be fully slated williin the limits ofa letter. 
 
 $1,000. — If we are given niilhority tu insert adverli.seinenis to a limited 
 amount, in such mediums as olfer indiicenienls which seem to us specially 
 favorable, we shall not abuse the conlidence reposed in us, and shall 
 render slatenieiits of whatever is done (if anything) from day to day 
 Wlien Iriislr.l with Ihe placing of an advertisemeiil. we are luit upon 
 honor, and are bouiiil in honor to give the best service possible for the 
 money to Ije used. i 
 
 $.'i,000. — One of the most successful Advertiseri we ever had always 
 ordered bis adverlisenieiits in this way, " Gel the bes" service you can for ' 
 rae lor S'',000," leaving every detail to us. We were thus enabled to say 
 to a Publisher, if you put this in at a huge reduction from your rate it ' 
 will be no criierioii for further transactions. It was a surprise to Hud 
 (Uirselves so often able to contract for the insertion of tliat particular 
 advertisement at half rates, iu papers which would not permit us lo ijifcr 
 their columns at a penny's deviation from their priiiled schedule. The 
 advertising rale of one .\ew Vork paper are double those of another 
 which has twics the circulation of the Hrst, Similar disoremiucies are ugt 
 uncommon. The advertisement entrusted to us to be placed in nctordauce 
 with onr judjfment often does double service for hall Ihe luoiiey. A dollar 
 fiir twenty hve cents. '

 The Manifold (Cyclopedia is, in ni;niy ways, unlike any other 
 Cyclopedia. It und.n•takl^s to present a survey of the entier 
 circle of knowledoe, whether of WORDS or ofTHINti.S, thus 
 conibiniim the clmractcristics of a CycUipedia and a Dicrtionary, 
 inclndino in its vocabulary every word which has any claim to a 
 place in the En^li.sh lan^u:i);e. Its form of publication is as 
 nniipie as its ]ilan — the " Ideal Edition " its publisher calls it, and 
 the jiopular verdict seems to .sustain his claim. It certainly is 
 deliohtfully convenient. It will not be strsage if this proves to 
 be the great popular cyclopedia. It certainly is worthy of 
 examination by all .searchers after knowledge. The publisher 
 sends a specimen volume on receipt of price, to be returned if 
 not wanted. John B. Alden, Publisher, New York, Chicag,
