THE New YORK WoRLD.-In our paper

this national organ of the Democratic party
for 1874 We have heretofore SO frequently
favorable notice of our readers that any
thing we could now say would not add
to the strength and sincerity of our former

THE ALDINE CHROMOS FOR 1S74-The
chromOS presented to the subscribers of the
Atd5He for 1874 are such beautiful and unu-
sua works of art-faithful copies of actual
paintings in oil made by the celebrated art
ISL, 1hOmaS Moran, from studies OF nature
that we feel justified in calling special
attention to them. These ChrOmOs repre-
sent scenes characteristic of the East and
w est the White Mountains Of New Hamp-
shire, and the Cliffs of Green River in Wv
omiug Territory. In all the range of grand
and beautiful American scenery, it would
be difficult TO find two more picturesque or
charming views, unlike as nature in her
varying moods, yet appropriate companion
pieces.
The view in the White Mountains gives
the behOlder Il grand and sublime scene of
the most famous region in New England, a
picture which is filled with the very spirit
of the region. The top of the principal
mountain is surrounded by clouds of m9giC-
al beauty, which add life TO the scene, indi-
ca ting, as they do, action. The picture is
one OF the elementS-earth. air, water
thrown together by the hand of the great
artist Such picture is always fresh, and
never grows duh.
In pleasing contrast with the blue clouds
and cool heights of the White Mountains
we have the Cliffs of Green River. a golden
sun-bathed landscape, with sky full of
glory-a breaking away of the clouds to let
the King OF Day through The physical
geography of the Great West is very pecu-
liar, and this Mr.. Moran has faithfully re-
produced. A grand red sandstone rock, or
butte, rises like a ruined castle from one
side of the river, rejecting AL the brilliant
hues of the sky. which are also reproduced
in the water. The picture is exceedingly
brilliant, but none too much SO for the heart
of the Great American Desert, where this
scene is laid. The foreground of this pic
ture IS very rich, and the study of trees is
delicate and natural. One may carefully
examine the whole list of chromos offered
TO the public, and fail to fiud elsewhere so
much real artistic excellence as in these two
representative landscapes. They are every
way worthy of the great art journal of
America-''The Aldine.'
