nA- The Aidine for September is a
remarkably meritorious number,
both as regards its artistic and liter
airy attractions. Moonlight on the
Hudson" drawn by Paul Dixon, and
engraved by Bogart,is specimen of
which lovers of American Art may
well be proud. The scene appears
to have been chosen just above the
Highlands, probably between there
and Poughkeepsie and the artists
have performed their respective
parts with a harmony of feeling re-
sulting in one of the most splendid
and truthful effects that it has ever
been our good fortune to see' The
other full-page cut, "Wood Ducks"
by Gilbert Burling, is mast charm
in glimpse of nature and the loving
care displayed in the minutest de-
tails of gorgeous plumage and pro-
fuse vegetation, stamps the draughts-
man as an enthusiasts: peculiarly fitted
for the subject. Those who were
delighted with the noble Newfound~
land Dog, in the March number, will
be equally pleased with Mr.. Thay-
er's terri playing Sick" and the
companion, in which the poor inval-
i'd is galvanized into life, asking
"Who said Rats ?" watering Cat
tle," by Peter Morgan "LittIe En-
ily." by John S. Davis "Lais Cor
inthaica," after Hobein, with several
smaller designs, go to make up what
we feel justified in pronouncing one
of the most remarkable issue of this
most remarkable of all periodicals.
The poetry and literature is as
fresh and crisp as ever. For interest
and ornament it will have no rival,
when, at the close of the year, it is
bound and laid upon the parlor or

Dubuque Glee Clubs Concert.

The Concert of last Tuesday night

audience that could not help applaud

much of the frame and boarding
shattered and splintered. A Cups
board was knocked to pieces and all
the dishes broken and hurled about
the room; and though Mrs. Jones

SIGNS OF RETURNING LIFE-The
Greeley club in Lancaster has reviv-
ed from Rip Van Wrinkle snooze,
and given ono sleepy yawn. 1t has
rented store room, counters, shelves
and al for reading room. This was
first opened to the public last night,
when about thirty of said club with
few Grant men listened for half
hour to Mr. Jared Warner. 1t was
evidently not a set speech, as the
fountain of wit aud logic frequently
ran dry. He "shakes hands across
the bloody chasm" with all who de-
sire thus to shake themselves into of.

Rousing Grant Meeting at Patch
Grove.

Col. John G. Clark made
one of his most able and effec-
tive speeches in the Academy Hall at
Patch Grove, last Saturday evening.
Mr.. Luther Brown, President of the
Club, took tho chair, and without
formality Mr.. Clark opened his adj
dress in fair and candid style that
held the undivided attention of every
one in the room to the close. The
audience contained but few if any
Greeley men, but was of quite mix
ed character otherwise. By actual
count there were about 125 voters,
besides some forty ladies, and over
fifty who will soon become voters
Every seat was filled and the stand~
ing part of the crowd displayed no
signs of WEAKNESS. At many of his
strongest paragraphs the approba-
ton of the dense crowd broke out in
noisy demonstrations, and at the
close Mr.. VIM. Humphrey, by a mo-
ton which unanimously passed ex-
pressed the hearty thanks of the au-
dience TO Col. Clark, for having dis
played such industry and pains in
mastering his subject, searching out
facts and authorities, and reading
them from their original and anthem
tic sources. Three vociferous cheers
were given for Grant and Wilson,
and the members of the club remain
ed to transact some further business.
The list of memb ers was increased
to about eighty, and arrangements
were discussed for coming in large
numbers TO the Mass Meeting at
Lancaster.
Mr.. 4 w. Rice Hospitality enter
tanned those who went from Lam
caster at his fine new hotel, with a
supper that did credit to the Repub-
lican party to which he belongs.
Several others offered their hospi-
talities for the night. but the cool
clear moonlight was too tempting,
after the ride in the fierce sultry
sun, and home they went, feeling
that Patch Grove is practically a
unit for Grant and Wilson.

HoPs.-Those farmers who ad,
hered to their hop fields through
the years of disastrously low prices
are destined to recover back part OF
their losses, this season. The crop is
very promising end the price is ex-
tremely high. Fifty to sixty cents
per pound is relied on by the farm
ers, and unless a sudden visitation of
tho hop louise should occur, there
will be much money realized in the
business. We took a very pleasant
walk through one of the finest of the
Potosi hop yards recently, which ac-
counts for our knowing anything
about hops.
