years, and have aimed to do an honest, upright business, and whatever claims we may have upon our people over itinerant and short-lived rivals, we have earned by honest efforts to furnish the best goods at the lowest prices. Ours is emphatically a MINNEAPOLIS bookstore, and we are here to stay. We warrant all goods as represented, keep the fullest stocks in every department that the wants of our growing city require, and we cannot and will not be undersold. If it should be necessary to sell goods at or under cost, we are prepared to meet the necessity. Such being the case, we suggest the propriety of sustaining a home institution in preference to those not identified in any way with the interests of our city. In conclusion, we would say that we will soon have our complete holiday stock on exhibition, and simply ask you to visit our store, examine our goods, and learn the prices before you purchase elsewhere. Very respectfully, GASLIN, WALES & CHUTE, 125 Nicollet Ave., opposite Post-Office. LITERARY AND TRADE NOTES.

WELLS & Co. have just issued a new edition of Dr. Joel Shew's "Letters to Women on Midwifery and Diseases of Women," a work that has for some time been out of print. D. APPLETON & Co. will shortly issue "Elements of Geology," by Joseph Le Conte. The object of the work will be to furnish a more complete treatment of American geology than is contained in Lyell's "Elements."

"Wan. derings in Four Continents" is a book of travel and adventure. As four parts of the world are visited, and as many exciting adventures take place in these parts, and as these same adventures are made doubly interesting by being portrayed by illustration as well as by narrative, it follows that it will be extremely attractive. Persons, Places, and Things" covers pretty much all there is to be seen in this world, though the volume makes no such pretension; it being sketches of travel, stories of adventure, descriptions of places, illustrated with over two hundred engravings, and are both instructive and amusing. Europe Seen Through American Spectacles" is reissued in a much handsomer style than heretofore.

It contains sixty illustrations. Kingston is always on hand about Christmas-time, and well it is so, for no writer is more popular with the young. "The Two Supercargoes" is the title of the latest, and gives the woful experience of some unfortunates in savage Africa. "Six Hundred Robinson Crusoes," by Mortimer, is claimed to be a true story of six hundred passengers being cast on one of the West India Islands, where they undergo some new experiences. These three are handsomely illustrated. A LARGE Octavo volume, to be entitled "The Stationers' Guide and Printers' and Booksellers' Trade Directory," is in preparation in London.
