THE ALDlNE, while issued with all the regu.
larity, has none OF the temporary or timely in.
terest characteristic of ordinary periodicals, 1t
Is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and
graceful literature, and Il collection of pictures,
the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black
and white. Although each succeeding number
affords a fresh pleasure to its FRIENDS, the real
value and beauty of THE ALDINE viii be most
appreciated after it has been bound up 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 leonception-alone and I'M
pproached-absolutely without competition in
price or character. The possessor of the volume
Just completed cannot duplicate the quantity of
fine paper and engravings in any other shape or
number o! volumes for ten times its cost.
The labor of getting THE ALD1NE ready on
the press is great that reprintng is out of the
question. With the exception of a small num-
Der specially reserved for binding, the edition Of
1871 is already exhausted, and ii is now scarce
us wei as valuaoIe pook.
NEW EN- ohEo foh 1919
ART DEPARTMENT.
The enthusiastic support so readily accorded
to their enterprise. wherever it has been intro.
duced, has convinced the publishers of THE
ALDINE of the soundness of their theory that
the American public would recognize and hea rti.
ly SUPPORT any sincere measure to alleviate the
tone and standard of illustrated publications.
That SO many weakly wicked sheets exist and
thrive Is not evidence that there is no market for
any thing better-indeed the success of THE AL
DINE from the start is direct proof to the con
trary. With 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 a guarantee of
the excellence of this department, the publishers
would beg to announce during the coming year,
specimens from the following eminent American
artists: ,.,s5,.-

.cg1E n sDolly Warden. orl
We noticed in an issue of the JOURNAL
q short time since, an article entitled IDOL
a.ly Varden,D and, from the tenor of it, we
feel inclined to say word in heI defence.
4. Our favorite of the present day must not
81 be derided because everything under the
sun, no matter how small or great, is
named after her. We recommend Dolly
sardens Tor an essay, poem, or an artl-
cle in the STATE JOURNAL, though we
would not 60 SO far as to recommend it to a
minister as a text. Ask any boy if his
kite does not fly better under bright colors,
sporting the name of Dolly Warden Why,
to him, it makes that kite a little goddess
on wings.
II 1t seems to me we may call almost any
thing after this pert young miss, provided
fashionable ministers or fond mammas
do not nameatheir churches, or bright-faced
babies, after her. Notwithstanding Dolly
Is Warden isa myth, the story that gives her
10 aife, is such popular, fashionable, romance,
THAT it forms connecting link between the
lower and upper classes. In other chimes
and other countries they have their peas
ants, with their pretty, coquettish ways
and fancy costumes, and why deprive us
of our neat little Dolly Vardens?
We can hardly say too much in favor Of
d the Dolly Warden canal boats, as they sail
gracefully up the Kanawha, decorated with
lanterns Of Dolly's own colors, which are
prismatic enough, and. as she sends up
rockets we watch their progress through
= the air, and when they break, 10! can it
be? they all come down in Dollies. In
due time we arrive at Riverside Park, and
notice party doing their best to enjoy
themselves, scampering from rock to rock
in the river. They are not sporting Dolly
Warden dresses, for theirs are pure white.
We hear an Z exclamation, and be.
hold there is a sudden change
transformation that is of the earth
earthly. We do not suppose they have
fallen I; they only fell out Of the fashion
for we Immediately hear one exclaim, hold
ing up her dress in the greatest constena
ton, behold! when everybody beheld
And such a sight. But she hangs her dress
ION hickory limb" and poor Dollie dis
appears in mudlessly attired garments
But she will have her revenge, for she pull
out one puff in her Grecian Bend ant
spreads 1t out in the sun--the ''sun tina
shines for ALL" and soon Dolly is hersel
once more. itoGt aaftH G4u fIlr

Proceedings in Congress.

In the Senate, April I'd, Mr.. Pratt
called up the bill giving a construction to
the act Of Congress of the 3Oth of March,
1857, requiring the Commissioners of Land
Offices TO account to the States of Ohio, In
diana, and Illinois for what is commonl V
known as the two per cent. fund claimed by
those States. He spoke at length in favor
OF the bill, after which it was referred TO the
Committee on Judiciary .....A message was
received, announcing that the House had
laid on the table the Senate substitute for
the House bill repeating the duty on tea and
coffee Mr.. Morrill,, of Vermont, said the
resolution of the House was an extraordi-
nary one, and he would not now move to
refer it to the Finance Committee, because
the Senate might wish to discuss it before
referring it. He therefore moved that it lie
over and be printed, which was agreed TO.
THE Senate then went into executive
session, and soon after adjourned

Utah, presented the memorial of the Consti-
tutional Convention of Utah for the admis
sion of that Territory into the Union, unde

lands for any person...... Various bills were
reported from the Comrlittee on Public
Lands, explained and passed, including the
following: To amend town site laws; to de-
clare the Usage Indian tract lands in Kan
sas subject to disposal for cash only TO ac-
sual settlers in quantities not exceeding 100

clples OF the pre-emption laws: in reference

The New Governor General OF Canada.

The successor of Lord Lisgar in the
vice-royality of Canada, is, as has been
announced by cable, the Earl of Dufferin.
Lord Dufferin is an Irishman and a
knight of the order of st. Patrick. His
estates lie near Belfast, where he usually
resides and where he affords striking
exception to the evil of landlordism.
His mother was the daughter of Richard
Brinsley Sheridan, and the Earl himself
is writer of some note, his Letters
from High Latitudes" having won high
rank among books of travel. For some
years past he has been Chancellor of the
Duchy of Lancaster, rather an honorary
than an onerous position, but one that
is always bestowed as mark of espe-
cial distinction. There are two respects
in which the new Governor General of
the Dominion is pre-eminent through
out the kingdom for his superiority he
always keeps a magnificent establish
ment, and he makes postprandial
speeches with great readiness and
felicity

Manufacture of Bank Notes.

The Bank of England has always
claimed a superiority over all other in
stituLions OF the kind in the world, III
the mechanical characteristics of its
NOTES.-The quality OF its paper, the eX-
ecution of the plate printing, typs-print-
ing, etc.
The paper used for this purpose is of
peculiar white color, such as is neither
sold in the shops, nor used for any
other purpose whatever; its thinness
and transparency prevent any OF the
the printed parts of the note being
washed out by turpentine or removed
by the knife, unless hole is made in
the place thus practiced on; and there
is peculiar crispncss and toughness to
the paper, which enables those who are
accustomed to handling it to distinguish
instantaneously, by the sense of touch
alone, true from false paper
Wire marks or water marks are pro
duced in the paper when in state of
pulp; consequently, a forger must pro-
cure a mould and make his own paper.
But both the workmanship Of the
mould and the manufacture of the pa
per- from its intricate surface, require
the greatest skill.
Another popularity is the three
deckle edges of the note. The mould
contains two notes, placed lengthways,
these being separated 10y the knife in a
future stage OF the manufacture. The
deckle, or wooden frame OF the paper
mould, produces that peculiar effect
which is seen on the edges of uncut
paper. AS il is caused when the sub
stance is in the state of pulp imitation
is extremely difficult. The strength of
this paper is also very great thus, in
its water-leaf, or unsized condition, a
note will support thirty-six pounds. and
when one grain of size has been diiiuscd
through it it will then lift half q hun
dred weight.

A Hint to Parents.

Nervous children suffer untold agonies
from fear when put TO bed alone. No
tongue can tell the horrors of a lone.
some room to such children. A little
delicate boy whom his parents were
drilling TO sleep alone, used to cry vio-
lently every night, and his father would
come in and whip him. He nlistook
his pertinacity for obstinacy, and he
thought it his duty to conquer the child's
will.
One night he said, Why do you al.
ways scream so, when you know you
shall be punished?'
"Oh, father, fatherr' said the little
fellow, 81 don't mind your whipping
me, if you only stay with me-"
The fathers eyes were opened from
that moment. He saw that human
being cannot be governed by dead
rules, like a plant or an animal.

A Miraculous Story.

There has always been some specula-
ton on the question whether a mans
soul ever actually leaves his body dur
ing sleep, or at any other time before
death, but evidence to solve this mystic
rious question is rare. There is story
told in Louisville, however, of a mer-
chant of that city, who, while travelling
on a sleeping car in Mississippi, had a
vivid experience as of visiting his home
and seeing his wife and children asleep,
and noticing that the eight-day family
clock had run down, he wound it up
and set it going. lie then returned to
his berth, which was rafting along at
the rate of forty miles an hour in the
sleeping car, saw his own body distinct
ly, and resumed his place within the
well.ftting escasement. On writing to
his wife about it, he learned that the
clock had been mysteriously wound up
on the night of his spiritual magma

The Prince Imperial of France.

The ex-Prince Imperial Of France
celebrated his sixteenth birthday on the
10th ult. 1t is circumstance that
probably few will recall, that he was
born on the day that the Crimean war
was concluded by the commissioners as.
sembled at Paris, Napoleon having, with
his characteristic passion for dram tic
effects, procured a postponement of the
deliberations, that the treaty might be
signed on the day that the Prince was
born. The young gentleman who thus
controlled the proceedings of an inter
national congress, even before his birth,
observed his birthday in very simple
and democratic fashion. There was an
informal reception on the lawn adjacent
to Camden House, at Chiselhurst, and a
mass at the Roman Catholic chapel.
The Prince is described as a robust and
healthy boy, OF very pleasant and en-
gazing manners

The Proner Use of Chlors,oru.

DR.. Curtis, OF Cincinnati, referring 10
recent case Of death from the use of
chloroform, gives il as his opinion that
many surgeons are too hasty in putting
person. under the an@athetic influence.
He himself gives chloroform very slowly
through a silk handkerchief. The in
halation Of chlOrotorm is only speedy
method of making a person "dead
drunk, and DR.. Curtis soon saw that if
the anH.thc,ic state were brought on
gradually, rs intoXication generally is,
and stopped as soon as sense and mas.
cular motion are by taking Intoxicating
liquors, it produced no worse effect upon
the system. In both cases the patient
often vomits, both when taking the
narcotic and when getting rid of it ;
and in both insensibility to the severest
operations may be produced. All the
danger Of one over the other is that, in
the use Of chloroform the operators in
judlciously ply the agent too fast, and
do not stop when the patient has enough.
BY taking proper care of these things,
Dr. Curtis says, operations may safely
be performed on very small children
and very old persons; on those whose
lungs or hearts are diseased, or who
are much reduced by chronic ailments
of various kinds.

4 Reconstructed Negro.

At Duvall's Bluff, Ark, is a full.
blooded negro, who, ten years ago, was
very black and now is very white. He
belonged, during slave times, to Esquire
Mann, of that place, and was thought
10 be blacklist negro in the neigh6or-
hood. A locust bit him on the shout
der some time during the first Of the
war, and small white circle formed at
once around the bite. This circle gfadu.
ally extended itself, and finally covered
the whole body, with the exception OF
a small black spot ON the neck, and
also narrow ring which girds around
the eyes.

A YALE junior recently visited a
young lady, staying rather late, and,
being fearful of disturbing the family,
took off his shoes, and went to the front
door in his stocking-feet. Just as he
emerged from the door, with his shoes
in hand, he was seized by policeman,
and it was with considerable difficulty
that he and the lady together could
convince that functionary that he was
not proper candidate for the lookup.
