AIT DEPARTMENT. a37A,

The illustrations of THE 4LDINE 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 ever attained. The common
prejudice in favor of ''steel plates, is rapid
ly yielding to a more educated and discrilnin-
ating taste which recognizes the advantages
OF superior artistic quality with greater taclli-
ty OF production. The woOd-cuts OF IHE
ALDINE possess all the delicacy and elabor-
ate 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
culture in America, it is only necessary to
consider the cost to the people OF any other
descent representations of the productions Of
great painters.
In addition to designs by the members OF
the National Academy, and other noted
American artists, THE 4LUINE will re-
produce examples Of the best foreign
masters, selected with view to the highest
artistic success and greatest general interest.
Thus the subscriber to TIE iLDINE will,
at q tritling cost, enjoy in his own home the
pleasures and refining influences of true ant.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will
be by 1hoS. Moran and J. ID. Woodward.
The Christmas issue for 1874 will contain
special designs appropriate to the season, by
our best artists, and will surpass in attrac-
tons any of its predecessors.

The COlored People.

That the colored people of Kentucky are
citizens of the State, and as such entitled 10
all the immunities as other citizens, Is still
received with astonishment; that colored
citizens are nominally entitled to all privi-
lcces in common with other citizens, is pretty
generally conceded; that the name OF equal
privileges is all that colored people enjoy IN
Kentucky; the day of equal rights for that
class Of citizens has not yet arrived, though
some progressive steps in that direction are
being taken and the colored people them
selves are beginning slowly to claim some
what of that belongs to every citizen. When
il was announced that the colored conven-
ton assembled in Louisville, February last,
asked for equal school privileges the Louis
willie Commercial said they should have known
better than to have asked that, and that
| journal expressed desire that, what it
| termed a better class OF citizens, would
| call another convention and set the colorcd
people right in the matter; or, IN other words,
call them back to their places; but that was
never done-so the ball Is rolling on. A
similar convention assembled in Coyington,
Kentucky. last June the same and other
similar resolutions were adopted, and colored
men thus impregnated with high ideas of true
Renublicanism and equal rights, went home
| TO the mountain regions and interior OF the
State, aud thus the ball rolls on.
A few DAYS ago We received the Columbus
ky DisDGfch. which read as follows, then
stood aghast, unable TO utter an opinion:
The Piana, published by negroes in Lou
isyille. and the organ of the colored people
of the state, denies that the colored people
DO not want TO attend the white schools. II
gives the names of nearly all Of the 'colored
papers in the United States, and says eacf
Is in favor Of mixed schools, and then pro
ceeds to argue in favor of mixed schools from

TIL E SU n
WEEKLY, sEMI.wEEKLY, AND DAILY.

! TIE WEEKLY Sun is too widely known
| TO require an extended recommendation; but
the reasons which have already given it fifty
! thousand subscribers, and which will, we
hope, give it many thousands more, are
as follows:
| 1t is a fifst-rate newspaper. All the news
of the day will be found in it, condensed
when unimportant, at full length when OF
moment, and always presented in a clear,
ineligible, and interesting manner.
1t is iirst-rate family paper, full OF en-
tertaining and instructive reading of every
kind, but containing nothing that can offend
| the most delicate and scrupulous taste.
1t is first-rate story paper. The best
tales and romances of current literature are
carefully selected and legibly printed in its
pages.
1t is first-rate agricultural paper. The
most fresh and instructive articles on agri-
cultural topics regularly appear in this
department.
1t is an independent political paper, be-
longing to no party and wearing no collar.
1t fights for principle, and for the election of
the best men to office. 1t especially devotes
its energies to the exposure Of the great
corruptions that now weaken and disgrace
our country, and threaten to undermine
republican institutions altogether. 1t has
their supporters.
1t reports the fashions for the ladies, and
the markets for the men, especially the cattle
markets, to which it pays particular atten-
ton.
Finally, it is the cheapest paper published.
One dollar year will secure it for any SUBJ
scriber. 1t is not necessary to get up club

Premium for 1874.

Every subscriber to THE .1LDINE for the
year 1874 will receive a pair of chromos.
The original pictures we've painted in oil for
the publishers of THE 1LDINE, by Thomas
Moran, whose great Colorado picture was
purchased by Congress for ten thousand dol
lars. The subjects were chosen to represent
The East" and 1.-THE West" One is a
view in The White Mountains, New Hamp-
shire; the other gives The Cliffs Of Green
River, Wyoming Territory. The difference
in the nature OF the scenes themselves is a
pleasing contrast, and affords a good display
Of the artists scope and cOloring. The
chromos are worked from thirty distinct
plates, and are in size (l2 lG) and appear
ance exact fac-smiles of the originals. The
presentation of worthy example of Ameri-
cas- greatest landscape painter to the SUBJ
scribers of THE ALDINE was Il bold but
peculiarly Happy idea, and its successful
realization is attested by the following testi-
monial, over the signature of Mr.. Moran
himself.

Gentlemen,-I am delighted with the proofs
in color of your chromos. They are wonder

Very respectfully,
(Signed,) THOS. MORAN.
These chromos are in every sense Ameri-
can. They are by an original American
process, with material of American manu-
factGrc, from designs 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 a tribe, srhiie equal in
erery respect TO other chrOmos that 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 enterprise that renders their distribution
possible.

While vet within the tolls Of that terrible
disease, the yellow fever; and while still the

Come to This"
The Republican press, North and South,
arc constantly beratlng the Southern people
for their intolerance Of Yankees, Northern
men, Radicals, &c. The Republican leaders
send thieves like kellogg and his minions
here to outrage and plumber us, and be-
cause we protest against it, we are charged
with intolerance, with seeking to stir up bad
blood and prevent Northern men from locat-
ing among US. But we hear nothing of the
acts of the Radicals in this line. Their pa
pers abuse the best people Of the South as
traitors and rebels their press reek with the
most disgusting abuse Of the Southern people,
and yet it is we of the South, they say, that
are keeping up the evil spirit Of sectionalisrn.
And now, to cap the climax of this policy,
"Cncle Toms Cabin,' the vilest and most
slanderous book that was ever written in a
Christian land-a book that has done more
to intensity the bitterness Of sectional feeling
than all the abolition newspapers of ante
beluni days book which fired the Northern
heart by lying stories of the horrors of
slavery, and wrought up the Indignation of
the Southern people by its infamous SLAM
ders-has been dramatized, and is being
played at the Academy of Music in New
Orleans. This is shame that should stir
| to the very depths the hearts Of the people
of New Orleans, and yet we see no protest
against it. Low, indeed, must our people
be sunk if they can witness the vile thing
unmoved by indignation, and bold have grown
the ministers of that fell spirit of meanness,
cowardice, and rascality which has been
lording it over this State, when they fiaunt
such -scandalous defamations of Southern
society in our very faces, and invite US TO
| come and see them at six bits head.
We have some liberation for that persistent
taste which prompts the Parsians and New
Workers to visit the theatres 70 witness some
modern sensational play and applaud its vul-
garity, but we sicken with disgust at the
thought that gentlemen of Louisiana have
become so low, craven, and debased as to
take their wives and children to witness a
vile play that scandaliZes Southern society,
defanes Southern women, and is designed TO
Undue the minds of Southern youth with a
| loathing for their own people and section,
and hatred OF the heroes who fell in the
cause of the Confederacy.

The Old Catholic Congress, at the late
meeting ut Constance, claimed to have al
ready one hundred parishes and two hundred
thousand members.
St. Peters Church, in Rome, required Cor
its erection one hundred and seventy years,
and to complete the structure an additional
one hundred and twenty-four years. 1t cost
$50, 600 900 in gold, and to keep it in repair
an annual expenditure of twenty thousand
dollars. The idea of its vast dimensions
may be conveyed by the statement that it
covers eight acres OF ground.
