Everybody has seen the picture of the disco
very Of printing. where two elderly gentlemen
with the aid OF devil. (hcn as no?Y, an inno-

Fancy the feelings Of that trio could they o'tr
leap tho barriers Of time and gaze with us upon
the splendid pages now before MS. Here are
specimens sf the most'cxquistc workmanship in
wood-cut printing in Quantity sufficient for a
very good sized volume, On the most sumptucus
paper, and yet it is merely one months offer
ing of five dollar periodical! Let us measure
this wonder, let us count these plates-just forty
large and small, costing subscribers one cent
each!. When it is considered that in no other
publication or shape can so much art be obtain
ed for so many times the amount Of the subscrip-
tion for tho whole year. it can he readily under
stood that we are but doing our readers common
justice to acquaint them such dn opportunity
and to impress upon the American public the
plain duty of cordial and practical support
to an enterprise which reflects credit upon
our young country. Is there such thing as
art or correct taste in America Come and see.
Among so many it will be impossible for us to
attempt even the briefest critical notice of the
pictures, which collectively form most superb
gallery of art. g :
The reading matter is good, as usual, but of
course in,this issue, is oyershadowed by the ex.
traordinary pictorial attractions. The volume
of THE ALp1NE for 1872 is announced by the
publishers as the holiday present, and, we think,
when it is known what royal book it is, it will
hardly require their additional offer of beauti-
ful chrome free to crowd them with orders.

Tenth streets, and they quickly brought him to

SCENES IN THE STATION HOUSES.

BY haiEpast eleven O'Clock some OF the prisoners
male and female, commenced to arrive at the
Fourteenth precinct station on Mulberry street,
between Broome and Spring. On their way from
Broadway the miserable girls were followed by
large crowd and their lovers pressed upon them,
but they were turned back by the officers in plain
Clothes VINO did their duty as gently as men
under the circumstances In which they were placed
could do The night was bitterly cold, the thin
which had fallen earlier in the evening having
melted, and as the girls trudged along they shiv-
cred from top to toe their nmsy drapery and light
shoes onering but little protection against the in
cemency OF the weather, Captain CliRchy had
made all preparations for the reception, and when
they arrived a large fire was burning in the main
room. AS the first batch entered the station
house crowd OF roughs and maudlin
lovers endeavored to gain admission also,
but the police soon closed the doorway
TO all but parties who had business and representa-
tives Of the press. Minute by minute fresh detach-
ments OF girls came in, and by twelve O'Clock the
large room was completely filed with weeping,
nysterical, laughing and gggling girls.
Looking at the group we would wonder how the
places in which they held forth had so long -four
ished. Out OF q crowd of more than a hundred
there were not half dozen who

the great majority being bloated faded and dissi-

play OF legs which have dazzled the eyes and
walked into the purse Of many an innocent coun.
tryman did not appear so attractive in the station
house as they did half an hour previous in the
concert saloons under the brilliant gaslight.
Shorn OF their padding and bedaubed with
mud, they presented q sorry spectacle, and feel
ing OF disgust would creep over the mind looking
at the miserable creatures whose vile calling has
long since driven away every spark OF modesty and
dcccncy. The snow had washed the paint from
their faces and 1t trckled down their cheeks like
ochre upon red Indian. There we're faces In the
crowd which might once have been handsome, but,
though still young, time and dissipation had done
the work, and where the eye was once bright with
innocence and purity IL only now glitters when
lasclvious leer Is put on or glass OF wine quaned.
THE BLoATED COUNTENANCEs
or the majority OF the girls gave evidence OF their
calling and the foul stencil OF the vile compounds
they had drank during the night made the station
almost insuppor;able.
The greater part bore their sunerngs with phllo-

each other and the policemen, but here and there

AT LOGGERHEADS.

The Springfield { Mass. Repu6k-
can and the Louisville Courier Jour
nal, both Liberal" are at hopeless
loggerheads with each other. Re
ferring to the statements which have
been made concerning the lawless-
ness rampant in Missouri, the for
mer paper declares that the change
"won't wash," and asserts that the
State has never been so tranquil, so
free from violence and bloodshed
as now. Per contra, its Louisville
contemporary, published good
deal nearer the scene of affairs in
question, says ''there seems to be
no law but mob law in Missouri, and
calls the State "a disgrace to the
Union" The government Of that
mismanaged and suffering Common
wealth is the Greeley candidate for
Vice President, and therefore this
is none of our funeral. 1t is to be
hoped, however, that these earnest
and enthusiastic Siamese Twins OF
Liberalism may come to a more har-
monious understanding, on the
question. 1t must be very painful
to both, when each tugs so strong
ly in a different direction.

hundred honest and reliable Demo
crats who have recently joined a

They believe Grants Administers
tion has been honest, and that the
best interests of the nation require
the defeat of the Greeley movement.
For this reason they have come out
openly in favor of the tried soldier
and patriot. If the example of AL

ties, and we believe it will be, New
