A Fresh M. G.

"a One Of the Republican members from
the Empire state, (who, of course, is an
extremely fresh and green fellow, and will
soon learn more,) made very ludicrous

last evening to see the President in his be.

had materially aided the present temporary
success Of this retired merchant, and pre-
senting letter from follow-member
from New York city introducing him, asked
the M. G. to see the President. |Fss
"But, sir, don't know the President;

popular desires and needs. Indeed, when we
think into how many homes it penetrates every

appeal to stupid preiudIces or depraved tastes.

The character which this Magazine possesses
for variety, enterprise, artistic wealth, and

PREMIUM FOR 1874.

Every subscriber to THE ALDINE for the
year 1874 will receive a pair of chromos. The
original pictures were painted in oil for the pub
fishers of THE ALDINE, by Thomas Moran,
whose great Colorado picture was purchased by
Congress for ten thousand dollars. The subjects
were chosen to represent "The East" and "The
West" One is a view in The White Mountains,
New Hampshire the other gives The Cliffs of
Green River, Wyoming Territory. The differ
ence in the nature of the scenes themselves is
pleasing contrast, and affords a good display
of the artists scope and coloring. The chromos
are each worked from thirty distinct plates, and
are in size (l2 x l6) and appearance exact fac
SMILES of the originals. The presentation of a
worthy example of Americas greatest landscape
painter to the subscribers of THE ALDINE was
a bold but peculiarly happy idea, andits success
full realization is attested by the following tesi.
monial, over the signature of Mr. Moran himself.
NEWARK, N. J., September Goth, 1873.
MeSSrS. James Sutton & Co..
Gentlemen-I am delighted with the proofs in
color of your chromos. They are wonderfully
successful representations by mechanical pro-
cess of the original paintings.
Hssa Very respectfully,
(Sgned) THOS. MORAN.
These chromos are in every sense American.
They are by an original American process, with
material of American manufacture, from designs
of American scenery by an American painter,
and presented to subscribers to the first success
full 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 trie, while equal in every respect to other
chromos that are sold singly for double the snb-
scription 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.
If any subscriber should indicate a preference
for figure subject, the publishers will send

THE ALDINE, while issued with all the
regularity, has none of the temporary or timely
interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals
1t is an elegant miscellany OF pure, light and
graceful literature and a collection of pictures
the rarest specimens of artistic skill in black and
white. Although each succeeding number
affords fresh pleasure to its friends, the real
value and beauty of THE ALDINE will be
most appreciated after it has been bound up at
the close of the year. While other publications
may claim superior cheapness, as compared
with rivals Of a similar class, THE ALDINE is
a unique and original conception-alone and
unapproached- absolutely without competition
in price or character. The possessor of a com
plcte volume cannot duplicate the quantity OF
fine paper and engravings in any other shape or
number ofvolumes for ten times its cost; and
then, there are the chromos, besides

The illustrations of THE ALDINE have won
a worldwide reputation, and in the art centres
of Europe II 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 rapidly yielding to a more
educated and discriminating taste which recog-
nizes the advantages of superior artistic quality
with greater facility of production. The wood
cuts of THE ALDINE possess. all the delicacy
and elaborate finish of the most costly steel
plate, while they afford better rendering of the
artists original.

we learn that SO much beyond the immc-

upon Its power of transportation that 1t has
ordered fifty new and powerful locomotives
