THE TRIBUNE has never been equaled by any other paper in the permanent and substantial value of its premiums and the extraordinary liberality of the terms upon which it has offered them to the public. We take pleasure in calling attention of all intelligent readers to the following offers: The Library of Universal Knowledge, embracing Chambers's Encyclopaedia complete, omit- ting only some of the cuts, with extensive additions by an able corps of American editors, treating about 15,000 additional topics, thoroughly Americanizing the entire work, adding to it over 25 per cent, of the latest, freshest, and most valuable matter, the whole making 15 handsome octavo volumes of 6x 9'-s inches in size, averaging nearly 900 pages to the volume, printed in large type on good, strong calendered paper, and neatly and substantially bound in cloth. Charles Dickens's Complete Works. ilete Charles Dickens, printed from new electrotype plates, large, clear type, on fine calendered paper, in 15 vol- umes, 5h x 7k inches in size, containing over 800 pages each, beautifully bound in cloth, gilt.

Analytical CONCORDANCE to THE Bible, on an en- tirely new plan, containing every word in alphabetical order, arranged under its Hebrew or Greek original, with the literal meaning of each, and its pronuncia- tion; exhibiting 311,000 references, 118,000 beyond Cruden, marking 30,000 various readings in the New Testament, with the latest information on Biblical Geography and Antiquities, etc., etc. By Robert Young, LL.D., author of a new Literal Translation of the ifebrcw and Greek Scriptures, Concise Critical Comments on the same, a Grammatical Analysis of the Minor Prophets in Hebrew, Biblical Notes,and Queries, Hebrew Grammar, etc. This great work is comprised in one handsome quarto volume, containing 1,100 three-column pages, neatly and substantially bound in cloth. It is at once a Concordance, a Greek, Hebrew, and English Lexicon of Bible words, and a Scriptural Gazetteer, and will be as valuable to students of the Holy Word as an Unabridged Dictionary is to the general reader. In fact, every home that has a Bible in it, ought also to have this great help to Bible reading and study. It is as well adapted to the use of the common reader as to that of the scholarly clergyman. We offer it, in connection with The Tribune, at the following remarkably low rates : For $6, the Concordance and one copy of THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE five years, or five copies one year, to different addresses. For $11, the Concordance and one copy of the SEMI- WEEKLY TRIBUNE five years, or five copies one year, or ten copies of THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE one year, to different addresses. For $20, the Concordance and twenty copies of THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE one year, to different ad- dresses.

This is the latest and best history of England, from the earliest times down to the year 1815. It is com- pletein two volumes, containing 1,350 pages, printed on large, clear typo and handsomely bound in cloth. We know of no record of the whole drama of English history to be compared with this. There is none that is so distinctly a work of genius. We take great pleasure in offering this admirable work as a premium with THE Tribune on the remarkably liberal terms named below. Macaulays History of England. This work needs no commendation. It is, and always will be, one of the standard historical works in the English language.

To enable every one to possess them, every subscriber to The Tribune who, with his sub- scription, will send 10 cents additional to pay for packing and postage, will receive as a present from The Tribune an elegant life-like portrait of the late President Garfield or his wife, whichever may be pre- ferred, or for 20 cents additional we will send them both. These portraits The Tribune has had engraved in the best style, and they are perfect fac-similes of the best crayon likenesses ever taken of the martyr President and his noble wife. They are beautifully printed on fine plate paper, 22 by 28 inches in size, and will be ornaments to any parlor, library, or office. The Semi-Weekly Tribune.
