THE ALDINE for May is the most bril-.
liant number Of this superb magazine ev-
er issued 1t opens with a magnificent
marine picture, "Tho Lee Shore" by NJ.
f. II. de Haas, who stands, by general
consent, at the head OF the marine paint
ers Of America, and who has never done
anything so fine as this drawing The
fury of the winds and waters that has
driven the good ship from her course on
the terrible lee shore is rendered with
wonderful breadth and vigor, and wildly
recalls the destruction which so lately
overlook the Inflated Atlantic. We turn
from this dreadful struggle of the Gle.
ments to delicious drawing after the
original of Monginot. 1t is entitled,
unbidden Guests and represents a
group of kittens on the table of an cpl
cure, and making havoc among the dish
es. One has upset the milk cup, and is
licking up the river Of cream; another
has found something to its taste in an
overturned cup, while third, the most
mischievous Of all, has gone for n plate
Of HOLSTERS, which is about TO be dashed
to pieces on the floor. We have next
"a Trout Brook" by Casllcar--a glimpse
Of a roaring torrent, that goes winding
and dashing on its way through the bree-
zy woods, which the angler will be unwil-
ling to leave as long as the trout rise, as
they must there. There are besides six
spirited illustrations of New Chicago.
There is also an admirable view of the
" Drusenfall," noted fall in Thuringia
and charming Illustration by Dore, i'm
bued with that grace which he knows SC
well how to infuse into his pictures when
the subject demands. The Literature oil
