Every subscriber to The ALDINE for the year
1874 will receive pair OF chromos. The origl-
nal pictures were painted in oil for the pub
fishers of The ALD1NE, by Thomas Moran, whose
great Colorado picture was purchased by Con-
gress for ten thousand dollars. The subjects
were chosen to represent "The East" and

The chromos are each worked from thirty dis
tinct plates and are in size G2x16) and ap-
pearance exact fac-similes of the originals.
The presentation of worthy example of
Americas greatest landscape painter to the
subscribers Of The ALDINE was bold but pc
culiarly happy idea, and its successful realiza-

over the signature of Mr.. Moran himself.

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 faciitich Of productlon
they cost the publishers only a trif1e, 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 themselves-not for the price
they did or did not cost, and will appreciate the

EXCURSION ON THE MISSISSIPPI
FROM LA CROSS TO ST. PAUL. ?.

The voyage on the Alexander Mitf hell
from La Cross to st. Paul on the, 18th of
June was very pleasant and highly enjoy
able. The day was pleasant and the E Ii.
torial party In good spirits. On tle Al
exander Mitchell at o'clock and starting
at o'clock ia the morning ard arriving
at St. Paul next morning before daylight,
there was fine opportunity for sight
seeing the most of the way. But it is not
our purpose to speak particularly OF what
was to be seen or what was done. The
scenery of that part of the Mississippi
though not so grand reminded us some
what of the scenery of the Hudson. The
grandest we saw was Maiden Rock on
lake Pepin in Wisconsin. This looked
to our vision very much like the work of
art-Ghe front OF castle several stories
high. The daughter OF an Indian chief
fell in love with the son of another Chief
with whom her father was at war, and
her father refusing his consent to the
marriage she was go aggreved that she
jumped from the Rock and killed her.
self. Hence the name Maiden Rock.
The Rock is perpend ocular from half or
more of the distance from the top to the
water, the remaining part being very
! steep though covered with timoer. Lake
Pepin, from the shore of which Maiden
Rock rises SO grandly, is simply an exg
pansion in width for several miles of III &
Mississippi and requires some exercise of
1.-THE imagination to realize its being a

towns and improvements in Wisconsin
may be equal to those in Minnesota, but
from Wlnona they did not seem to be.
