THE HEIGHT OF MEANNEsS.

Revelations were made last week in
Chicago Of the operations of Alderman
G. C. P. Holden, in the use OF relief
funds, which goes to show that the
height of meanness was reached by that
gentleman and his friends. Holden is
President of the Council, and was j
candidate for Mayor Of Chicago on the
hummer ticket at the late election.
After the Ere Holden was made Treas
urer of one of the Relief Societies The
composition Of the society not being
satisfactory to committees from various
cities sending relief, Mayor Mason
discovered it and directed that every
thing should be turned over to the old
Relief Society, and by this means it has
TRANSFERRED that Holden, while acting as
Treasurer, secured at least SIS 900 of
the relief funds, AMI considerable sup
plies which he refused to give up when
the request was made on him by the
proper authorities. But the most con-
temptabla part is yet to be told It is
alleged that this same money was used
by Holden and his friends to secure his
election as Mayor of Chicago Using
money and means coming from the be-
nevolence of the country for political
purposes is one of the most execrable
acts recorded in the history of raScally
transactions, and the authors of such
work should be held in everlasting
odium.

Henry Ward Beecher.
THE ALDINE will issue with all the req
ularity, has none Of the temporary or time
ly interest characteristic of ordinary period
icals. 1t is an elegant miscellany of pure,
| light, and graceful lItera ture and a colec-
ton of pictures, the rarest specimens of
artistic skill, in black and white. Although
each succeeding number affords fresh
pleasure to its friends the real value and
beauty of the Aldne Will be most appreci-
ated after it has been bound at the close of
the year. While other publications may
claim superior cheapness as compared with
! rivals of similar class, The Aldine is a
unique and original conception-al one and
unappproached-abS Olutely without conccp-
ton in price or character. The possessor of
the volume just completed cannot duplicate
the quantity of fine paper end engravirgs in
any other shape or number of volumes for
ten times its cost.
The labor of getting The Aldne ready on
the press is so great that re-printiRg is out
of question. With the exception of small
number, specially reserved for binding,
the edition of 1871 is already exhausted
and is now a scarce as well as valuable

NEW FEATURES for 1872.
ART DEPARTMENT.

The enthusiastic support SO readily accord
ed TO their eE terprlse, wherever it has been
introduced, has convinced the publishers OF
The Aldine of the soundness OF their theory
that the American public would recognize
and heartily support any sincere effort to ell
eyate the tone and standard of illustmted
publications. That so many weakly, wicked
sheets exist and thrive is not evidence tn at
there is no market for anything better
indeed the success of The Aldine from the
start is direct proof of the contrary With
a population so vast, and of such varied
taste, publisher can choose his patrons. and
his paper is rather indicative of his own
than of the taste of the country As guar
antee of the excellence of this department,
the publishers would beg TO announce du
ring the coming year, specimens from the
following eminent American artists
W. T. Richards, Granville Perkins. James
Smiley, VIM Hart, F. O. G. barley, R. E,
Piguet, VIM. Beard, Victar Nehlig, Frank
Beard, George Smiley, VIM Fl Wilcox.
Paul Dixon. Aug. Will, James Beard J.
Howes.
These pictures are being Reproduced with
out regard to expense, by The very best en-
graVers in the country, and will bear the
seyerest critical comparison with the best
foreign work, it being the determination of
the publishers that The Aldine shall be a
successful vindication of American taste in
competition with any existing publication
in the world.
