THE ALDINE FOR MARCH.-With
this full scope and resources of the
American Art Department begins to be
fairly manifest, and we turn its pages
with a proud consciousness that, at
last, we are to have a periodical that
shall do credit to the taste and talent
of our country, Those who were so
pleased with the inimitable conception
of Maud Muller, given in the January
number, viii be glad to recognize the
powerful pencil of Miss Davis on the
first page of this issue. Here we have
the heroine of Hoods Bridge of
Signs" as she stands in Ter desperation
undeterred by the minor terrors Of
thesblack arch or the dark flowing river
Th e artist has with wonderful power
fixed "the daring last look of despairing
=" yet the face is that of woman,
one endowed with the, to her, alas
fatal gift of beauty. The glare OF light
on passing boat, itselfinvisible, brings
the agonized face in srtong relief against
the almost silhoutte backness of that
dreary night, and the picture is one
that will not quickly lose its interest
with the lovers of that most touching
poem Of this or any, other language.
The next illustrations are series of
six, which, with the magnificent full
page, Blowing Rock illustrate an
appreciative and enthusiasts article on
the scenery of Western North. Carolina.
This region, heretofore comparatively
unknown to the mass of our people, is
demonstrated to be one Of the most at
tractive places in the country for adj
mirers of'the beauties ofnature. The
illustrations are from the pencil of Mr.
Piguet, and the three principal ones,

talent at hand it is really surprising
that we should have been SO long with

development and demonstration. The

THE RE-APPORTIONMENT.

The Bill for the re-apportionment Of
the state into Congressional districts
as reported from the Apportionment
COMMITTEES, has passed the Senate, but
has yet to be acted upon in the Assem-
bly, before II becomes law.
This report, places Jefferson County
in the I'd District, with Dane, Col
umbia and Sank, population l39, 1913
Republican majority 1874. This i,
the same as the present district, with
the substitution of Sank for Rock, and
gives US the smallest Republican ma
jorisy of any of the Republican dis
tricts mapped out by the bill.
Although we are satisfied with our
position as marked out by the report
yet We think the scheme, on the whole
is open to many faults, chief among
which is the wide diferen nee in popula
ton in several of the districts. For in.
stance: The fifth district, has 5000
more than the proper number, the sew

Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore, of Peace
Jubilee notoriety, and who is about
inaugurating another monster musical
celebration in Boston, is an Irishman
by birth, and enlisted when a boy in
the British army, where he obtained
his musical and the principal portion
of his other education. While his reg
iment was stationed in Canada he came
to the conclusion that he had played
"God Save the Queen" long enough,
so he crossed over to Buffalo, N. z,
without asking permission of the Brit
lsh authorities. He afterward visited
Boston, which city he has since made
his home where he formed brass band
and projected series Of cheap and pop
ular promenade concerts from which he
doubtless conceived the idea of his mon
ster musical peace jubilee.

The Medical Commission sent by the
Sultan to Persia, near the Turkish bor-
ders, to decide on the character of the
pestilencs raging there, have reported
that it is the regular Eastern plague.
The mala 1y takes the form of slow
fever, with typhus symptoms, with
bubos under the arms, in groin and
neck, carbuncles. and general eruption
over the whole body. 1t carries the
sufferer off quickly, attacking neigh
borhoods and entire families, and is
transmitted from town to town. In the
region of Persia infected, there has
been no famine or unusual scarcity of
food. The mortality of the scourge
up to the last accounts. had reached
nearly 500.
