The A1diIle.

The Aldins for June shows what the
landscape painters of America can do, when
they have m nd to work, in black and
white. They paint pictures which are seen
for short time in their studios, and then
are seen no more, except by their purchasers;
being, in fact, as much removed from the
actual world OF art as if they did not ex-
ist. It is otherwise with them when they
are drawn on wood, and seen by the thous-
ton of the country, who constitute pow
erful art constituency, and in certain
sense represent Posterity. Mr.. Krusman
Van Eltens oil pictures are we'll known to
