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 1.-The
West" One is q 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 a
pleasing contrast, and affords good display of
the artists scope and coloring The chromos
are each worked from thirty distinct plates, and
are in size az 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, and it's
success ul realization is attested by the following
testimonial, over the signature of Mr. Moran
himself.

CHIsTMAs SOIREEs. Among the entertain
ments with which the holidays are celebrated
in our city, there are none more delightful than
the soirees given by the pupils of the female
schools in our midst. These charming enter
tainments are always looked forward to as a le-
Ultimate part of our Christmas enjoyments; and
Christmas in Staunton, without them, would
be to Stauntonian like the play of Hamlet with
Hamlet left out And, truly, in no more beauti-
full way can the joyousness of this happy holt
day be celebrated, and in no more appropriate
manner the anniversary of the birth of the
Christ-child be welcomed, than by music from
the fingers and singing from the lips of fair
young maidens, whose sweet voices tone down
the feelings and prepare the heart to receive the
teachings which the return of this time of great
rejoicing in all Christian countries should bring
with it.
The first of these Chris mas entertainments
was that of the Virginia Female Institute, given
in mozart HALF on last Friday night. The
Hall was early crowded with select and invited
audience. The entertainment opened with a
French comedie entitled lie Bracelet" play led
by eight young ladies' They were tastefully
and appropriately costumed and sustained their
characters in a manner deserving the highest
praise. Inc managers were sufficiently thought
full to provide the audience with printed synop-
Sis of the plot, so that even those who did not
understand French were enabled to appreciate
the excellent acting of the young ladies.
The rest ofthe evening was devoted principal
ly to vocal and instrumental music. To say that
this portion of the entertainment was under the
direction of Prof Richard will be sufficient to
assure all, who had not the good fortune to be-
present, of its rare excellency. The taste and
skill shown in the selection of pieces, to please
and entertain the audience, and at the same
time display to advantage the improvement and
proficiency of the performers, were not the least
marked features of the programme.
The recitations of "La Mort de Jeanne d. Arc"
and Tying the bonnet under. the chin," which
last was rected by request, were admirably done
by Miss E. Mlnnegerode of Richmond, and
were greeted with much applause.

COUNTY, TEXAS, SATURDAY, AUGUST

then will its destiny become cstab-
lished also. With the facilities for
transportation that we already enjoy,
and our agricultural advantages over
all other countries considered, we can
easily become the rival Of st. Louis in
the Southern and Southeastern mar
kets. The manufacture Of grain will
demand the creation of other manu-
featuring interests; and from the mex
haustible oak forests lying along the
limo of the Dallas and Palestine Rail-
road, will come to us the finest timber
anywhere to be found, out of which
barrels will be manufactured, thus
enabling our millions to compete for
the magnificent trade of the South
American States. 1t is impossible to
foresec the many advantages Of immi-
grating to Texas, and equally impossi-
bic for any man to calculate the results
that will accrue from the large immi-
grafton we are now receiving. and
from the enterprise that comes with it.

COUNTY STATiSTICH.

Inasmuch as the city and county of
Dallas, by an unaccountable cause of
attraction, have become the focus to
which the tide of immigration from all
quarters of the globe is tending, we
deem it entirely proper to publish, for
their benefit, as well as for the general
information of those who have already
settled among US, few of the items
Of wealth, as they existed in our
county on the first day of January last.
Since that time, we are advised by
the County Court that the valuation in
the increase of improvements and
stock will aggregate nearly $1,000, 900.
There was assessed, at that time,
489, ,2l9 acres of land, 1886 head of
horses, 20,ssl head Of Attle, l,544
mules, 3,2l3 head of sheep. The val
uation affixed to this assessment aggre-
gates S5,l80,0O0, against s4,300,0O0 on
the. first day of January, 1872. By
next January the grand total Of our
taxable property will be quite S7,00O,-
600. With these figures to guide us in
estimating the future greatness of our
county, every one must become in
stinctively impressed with the impor-
tance of this section, and every one
should be nerved to higher efforts to
speedily effect our perfect develop
ment. When the new mills, which
are to be built by capitalists who have
comeinto our county for that purpose,
are constructed, not only will new life
be impaired to the general enterprise
of the county, but increased wealth
and prosperity will also follow,

EDITORIAL NOTICES are 80 common
that it is almost impossible for an edi-
tor to express his honest opinion OF the
merits Of any article without being sus-
pected of interested motives. This
TACT, however, shall not deter us from
saying what we think Of new addition
TO the Materia Medica to which our at
tention has been recently directed. We
refer to DIR. J. WALKERS CALIFORNIA
VINEGAR B1rTERs, o remedy which is
making its way into more families just
now than all the other advertised medi-
cines put together. Its popularity, as
far as we can Judge, is not. based on
empty pretention. There seems to be
no question about the potency OF lts
tonic and alternative properties, while it
possesses the great negative recommen-
dation of containing neither alcohol nor
mineral poison. That it is a specific
for Indigestion, Bilousness, Constipa-
ton, and many complaints OF nervous
origin, we have reason to know; and
we are assured on good authority that
as a general invigorant, regulating and
purifying medicine, it has no equal: 1t
is stated that its ingredients, obtained
from the wilds OF California; are new
10 the medical world (; and its extraor-
ilinary effects certainly warrantthe con-
clusion that it is q compound OF agents
hitherto unknown. If popularity is
INV criterion, there can be no doubt OF
the efficiency of the VINEGAR BrTTERs,
for the sale of the article is immense
and continually increasing.-Com.

The Arlington Estate.

Mrs. Lee. widow Of Gen. Robort E.
Lee, has been stopping few days at
Alexandria, where she was interviewed
by reporter of the Republican. In
regard to the Arlington estate she
makes the following statement: "Her
father, George Washington Parks Gus
tbs, dying in 1857, gave to Mrs. Lee by
his will the entire Arlington estate.
The terms OF the will vested the
property in her absolutely. Beyond
the simple duties of an executor, Gen:
Lee had no control of the property, and
never. either before or since, assumed
or attempted 10 assume a single right
OF ownership" It was further ascer-
tanned, from Mrs. Lee herself, that not
only was Arlington her unqualified be-
quest from her father, but that Gen.
Lee never participated in any way in
its ownership nor control, always re-
fusing to arbitrate in important matters
relating to it, and from the Termination
of the war to the date of his death, he
constantly avoided any authority, con-
troll, right or independence relative to
the estate, and refused to act concern
ing it in any way. Mrs. Lee is remark
ed as having conversed freely on the
subject of the estate without any shade
of bitterness, to have spoken highly OF
President Grant, and as not expecting
the estate to be diverted fromits present
use as q cemetery, though she lays
claim to some remuneration for its

A Summer Morning In Normandy.

The following is from the pen of an
accomplished traveller: Do you know
the coast of Normandy? 1t is coun-
try that everybody thinks he knows
we'll. We have all been to Dieppe, some
even to Havre. Dear friends, this is
really not enough. What you do not
know is the existence of n dozen little
watering places between Havre and
Boulogne, all charming, all quiet, all
entirely French. These secluded re-
treats are like the triangles in the sixth
book of Euclid's immortal work-they
are all similar, and similarly situated.
Where the sea runs in and makes bay,
where river runs down and mingles
the fresh with the salt, where the cliffs
on either side stoop to the earth and
disappear in space, there lies the little
fishing town. What it must be like in
winter, imagination vainly endeavors to
realize butin in summer, between june
and October, there are no pleasanter
places for quiet folk to stay in. Right
and left the cliffs rise to height of some
hundreds of feet. You climb them in
the morning after your coffee and
brioche, and stride away in the fresh
upland air, with the grass under your
feet and the woods behind. AS you go
along, you see the girls milking the
sleepy-eyed Norman cows, you salute
the women going to market with their
baskets, you listen to the lark, you
watch the blue sea far away beyond,
with perhaps little fleet of fishing
hoota

Getting Rid Of Spots.

"Will you kindly inform me-" asks a
correspondent, chow I can remove dis.
colored spots from my face? I suppose
they are caused by some disorder of the
liver, though I have no pain except
through the shoulder-blades. If you
will kindly give me your valuable advice,
you will confer lasting favor"
Dio Lewis says in answer I have no
doubt whatever that your opinion about
the agency of the liver is entirely cor
rect, and this opinion receives support
from the pains about your shoulder
blades. The treatment, I presume,
should be about the following:
l. Very little grease, no pies, cakes or
sweetmeats, and a profusion of the
fruits, grapes, &C., with which Cali
fornia abounds.
2. A regular morning bath, with soap
and water, accompanied with much fric-
ton of the skin, and vigorous use OF
hair gloves over the entire person on
going to bed at night.
8. Living as much as possible in the
open air and sunshine, always maintain.
ing good circulation in the legs and
feet by thick fannels and broad-soled
shoes.
4. Retire before nine o'clock every
night, and get up in the morning when
you feel like it; and lie down an hourin
the middle of the day before dinner,
and, if possible, sleep.
