The public is quick to apreciate an article of merit, and when the publishers of the State Journal began offering their semi-weekly at only 81 per year, the same price that others ask for their weeklies which only give half as many papers, tho subscription list doubled in a few months, and has since been grow ing with wonderful rapidity, leaving the oldtashion weeklies away behind. People don’t see any use in waiting a whole week for the news when they can get it fresh twice a week for the same money. Readers of the Semi-Weekly Journal get 104 papers a year for their 81, which is less than one cent per copy, and they find the paper almost as good as a daily. If you have not yet tried this great paper, do so at once. It gives you the markets twice each week, which alone is worth the price. Some of our special offers are: 'The Journal and either the Standard History of the United States, Stanley’s Adventures in Africa, Life of Spurgeon, or Life of Harrison, handsomely bound books, postage all paid, for 81.40. The Journal and Weekly New York Tribune, both one year, $ 1.85. For 82 we will send the Journal two years and one of the above books free; for two new subscrib ers (your own name can.be one of them) we will send you any one of the aboye books tree; for 81.65 we will send you the Journal and Tribune, and any one of the books.

' Town Topics, that brilliant, spicy, though sometimes slightly naughty society journal, published in New York, makes the following announcement: With the first issue in March Town Topics will be permanently enlarged to thirty-two pages. Although it is gener ally conceded that already this journal had become the most complete, varied and entertaining to men and women of culture of any weekly ever published, yet the publisher, grateful for the extraordinary favor with which the higher class of readers, not alone in America, but wherever English is read, has received Town Topics, will be con tent only with renewed and greater efforts to produce a journal unap proached in breadth of scope and excel lence of literature. Arrangements are now completed with twenty-five of the most distinguished writers of fiction to contribute short stories and serials to its ! columns. Among them are such world famed authors as Amelie Rives, Mary J. Hawker (‘Lanoe Falconer”), F. Marion Crawford, Fdgar Fawcett, Julian Haw thorne, Ambrose Bierce, Hamlin Gar land, Paul Llndau, Catulle Mendes, Francois Coppee, Anatole France, etc. Hereafter each number of Town Topics will contain a short story, and a serial by one or the other of these enter taining litteratures. There will be no ! curtailment of tbe varied and interest- I ing matter that has heretofore gained < for the journal the unique and exalted I position it now holds in current litera- j ture.
