ANCIENT CLASSICS FOR ENGLISH READERS.

Thia is the title of a unique and really delightful series of books, the first volume" of which, “the Commentaries of Caesar,” by Anthony Trollope, iajuat issued. The aim of the series is to open to the unlearned English reader the beauties and treasures of classic lore, teh who the writers were, give some con hc-cted outline of the story they narrate, present some of their most striking passages in choice English translation, and illustrate them with the wealth of modern scholarship. There are 27 volumes in all, and heretofore they have cost $1 each. They are publishing in The El zhvir Library, in really charming style, at 15 cents each for paper binding, or 30 cents each for cloth binding. “Herodotus,” by George U. Swayne; “Cicero,” by W. L. Collins, and “Demosthenes,” by W. J. liroadribb, are announced for immediate issue, and the other volumes are to follow, one or more each week, until the series is complete. From even these marvelously low prices large discounts are offered to clubs and for prompt order*. John B. Aldsn, Publisher, 18 Vesey Street, New York.

At A. Leopold’s great Bazar, the display of Dress Goods, Buttons and Trimmings to match, is immense. Ladies should call and inspect before purchasing. Remember, 5 per cent, discount, to all cash buyers, is a great inducement.
