Female Clerks.

In the Prudential insurance Office,
London, the experiment of employing
female clerks has been tried with COM
plete success. Beginning with ten, the
number has increased to thirty-six, and
more are to be added. The apartments
in which they are occupied are apart
from those of the male clerks. They
are ladies of education and good fam
lilies, being exclusively the daughters of
professional men. and their ages vary
from eighteen to thirty-fve. They
reach the Office at 10 A. NJ, stop work
for an hour at l P. NJ, and leave at P.
NJ. Several holidays in the year are al
lowed. The work is chiefly a simple
kind of copying, requiring attention,
good handwriting, and Intelligence.
The salaries are not very large, begin
ming at $3.50 per annum, and raised $50
each year up to $500. A lady superin-
tendent has exclusive supervision of the
department. and their work is as we'll
done as that of the male clerks.

ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.

The illustrations of THE ALD1NE have won
worldwide reputation and in the art centres Of
Europe it is an admitted fact that its wood
cuts are examples of the highest perfection
over attained. The common prejudice in favor
of "steel plates" is rapidly yielding. toa more
educated and discriminating taste which recog-
nizes the advantages Of superior artistic quality
with greater facility of production. The wood
cuts of THE ALD1NE possess all the delicacy and
elaborate finish of the most costly steel plate,
while they afford better rendering Of the
artists original
To fully realize the wonderful work which
The ALDINE is doing for the cause Of art cul-
ture in America it is only necessary to consider
the cost to tho people of any decent represen-
tations Of the productions OF great painters.
In addition to designs by the members of the
National Academy, and other noted American
artists, THE AIpINE will reproduce examples OF
the best foreign masters, selected with view
to the highest artistic success and greatest
general interest. Thus the subscriber to THE
ALDINE will, at trifing cost, enjoy in his own
home the pleasures and refining influences of
true art.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will be

N e W YO r K

A well-known freight agent in New
York stated that he was well acquainted
with the Loch Earn, and had frequently
put cargoes aboard her. She had, he
said, been originally built to trade be-
tween Canada and England, and, in
order to enable her to force her way
through ice when she fell in with it, was
furnished with bowsprit steel-plated
and of extra thickness. This fact, he
thought, accounted for the manner in
which she went crushing into the side
Of the Vile du Havre.

Will Not Give Her In,

Captain General Jovellar, of Cuba,
telegraphed to the Madrid Govern
ment dispatch showing the state of
feeling on the island relative to the
surrender of the Virginius:
The Madrid Government peremp-
torily orders the Captain General to de-
liver up the Virginius. Gen. Jovellar
resigns his position, and demands that
place who can carry out the orders of
the Government, considering the exalt-
ed state of public opinion, and the i'm
possibility of overcoming the Difficult
ties. Gen. Jovellar submits that q
manifest was prepared for delay, during
which opportunity would be given for
reflection, and time given to allay the
fiery patriotic spirit of the great nation
al party in Cuba. But the strong orders
from Madrid, Immediately to be exc
euted, deprive him of this resource,
through which he hoped to save the
upholding of the authority and the in
terests of the country.
In order that the Madrid Government
may comprehend the difficulties of the
situation, and do justice to the ardor
and perseverance with which he began
his labors, which had already begun to
produce fruit, the Captain General de-
scribes the situation in the island. He
declares that the impression produced
by the news of the arrangement which
has been completed between Spain ami
the United States can be compared Wild
that produced in Spain by the treaty of
Bayonne, which led to the war of in
dependence against Napoleon. He
begs to assure the Government that the
immediate delivery of the Virginius
will instantaxeously cause a frightful
commotion throughout the island, which
would be sure to result in successive
catastrophes, even if a man of the high
est ability should be in command here.

Strange Cattle Disease.

A cattle disease, of so disagreeable a
nature that it causes the animals affected
by it to commit suicide, has broken
out on the Asiatic shore of the Bos-
phorous, and has been officially report
ed at Constantinople. 1t is character
lied by frothing at the mouth, running
from the eyes and nose, total loss of
appetite, great heat, and thirst so in
supportable that some of the beasts at
tackled by the illness cast themselves
headlong into adjacent rivers and
streams, and are drowned. The dis
ease has been in existence for upwards
of a month in several villages of the up
per Bosphorus and Scutaril. 1t at
tacks bullocks and COWS exclusively.

PREMIUM for 1874.

Every subscriber to The ALDINE for the year
1874 will receive pair Of chromos. The origi-
nal pictures were painted in oil for the pub
fishers of The ALDISE, by Thomas Moran whose
great Colorado picture was purchased by Con-
gress for ten thousand dollars. The subjects
were chosen to represent 1.-THE East" and
" The West" One is view in The White
Mountains, New Hampshire the other gives
The Cliffs of Green River Wyoming Territory.
The difference in the nature Of the scenes
themselves is pleasing contrast and affords
good display of the artists scope and coloring.
The chromos are each worked from thirty dis
tinct plates, and are in size Q2x16) and ap-
pearance exact fac-smiles of the originals.
The presentation of worthy example of
Americas greatest landscape painter to the
subscribers of The ALDINE was a bold but pc
culiarly happy idea, and its successful realiza-
tion is attested by the following testimonial
over the signature of Mr.. Moran himself.

Gentlemen Il am delighted with the proofs
in color of your chromos They are wonder
fully successful representations by mechanical
process of the original paintings.
Very respectfully,
(Signed,) THOS. MORAN.
These chromos are in every sense American.
They are by an original American process, with
material Of American manufacture, from de-
signs Of American scenery by an American
painter, and presented to subscribers to the
first successful American Art journal. If no
better because of all this, they will certainly
possess an interest no foreign production can
inspire. and neither are they any the worse if
by reason of peculiar facilities of production
they cost the publishers only trifie while
equal in every respect to other chromos that
are sold singly for double the subscription price
of The ALDINE Persons of taste will prize
these pictures for rthemselves-not for the price
they did or did not cost, and will appreciate the
enterprise that renders their distribution posi-
bic.
If any subscriber should indicate a prefer
ence for figure subject the publishers will
