THE ALDINE,

We alluded some weeks ago to the
proposed changes to be made in this
the handsomest periodical in Amer
lea. We have received the January
number which has been published
IN advance as a specimen of what
American art can do, and to crafty
the general curiosity awakened by
the announcement of the prospectus
some time ago. geographically it
is a curiosity !; in excellence exceed
ing anything yet issued from the
press. It is printed on dry paper.
As an illustration of American art it
is receiving the unbounded praise
of artists of acknowledged ability.
Among the magnificent illustrations
I" Maud Miller on the first page is
a happy instance Of the power of
the pencil to reinforce the pen"
"The Morning from barley, The
Tropic Forest by Granville Per-
kins. two views of Venice" the
Festival and the Bridge of
Signs" are rem rrkable instances of
artistic taste and skill. There is
nothing fashya this work, either
in its unrivalled illustrations, poetry,
or literature. We take pleasure in
recommending to all who desire on
their tables, what this claims to be,
and is, a unique and original concep-
ton. Terms, So per year. James

SENATOR NYE's LAST Judging
from the spirit of the correspondent
Of the Reno Crescent, the best of
feeling is not just now prevailing
in the Republican party of Nevada.
Here is n of his shots against
Stewart and Nye:
Many of our citizens were over
joyed at reading the above heading
in yesterdays Enterprise. but found
themselves terribly disappointed on
finding it to be only the last yarn
told on this coast, and mighty stale
one at that. 4 friend in my bearing
this morning, said that the time
had arrived when a man represent
ing the Republican party in the ma
tional councils, should be possessed
of some other qualifications than
being able to tllk of the bloody
fields Of Antietam and Gettysburg.
and tell smuttv yarns in bar
rooms to admiring ~loafers." l con-
eur. What suited the party six
years ago would be utterly distaste-
ful to the majority now. A capable,
honest, reliable gentleman is want
ing for Senator next year to offset
the one elected three years ago, and
to represent truthfully and worthily
the Republican party of the present
time. Uncle Jeemes was Il good
man when We wanted a blower, and
so was William Rufus; but as the
State requires a gentleman now,
neither of the above named can or
will be elected.

That CLERKsHLP.-The fight IN
California fer the clerkship of the
Assembly is becoming sulphurie IN
its heat. Scarcely an issue of the
Sacramento Union appears without
allusion to the pre-eminent qUalifca-
tions of Owen of San Jose and sweep
ing denunciations of Boruek and his
railroad friends. Boruck comes
back in the last Spirit of the Times
with a personal appeal to the mem
bers of the Legislature to stand by
him. He claims that this unpreee-
dented course lis impelled solely
by the character ofthe contest which
has been made against nae a con-
test which has resolved itself into an
absolute persecution, and Il which,
in its malignity, has had ne parallel,
and which has been. as before stated
in this, without the slightest cause,
except the qualification of personal
revenge"

RAILROAD TO INYo.-The Santa
Barbara Press is very sanguine that
a railroad can be constructed from
Santa Barbara to the mining regions
of Kerr and Inyo. A single tunnel,
it is claimed, is all that is necessary,
connecting two canyons leading up
the divide. The rock at this point
IS said to be soft sandstone, and
easily pierced. The Press is enthu-
siastic for a narrow gauge over the
route at once. If they don't hurry
up they may find one running into
the Inyo country from this side of
The mountains.
