The Aldine, while issued with all the reg.
ularity, has none of the temporary or time
~ interest characteristics OF ordinary peri
odcals. 1t Is an elegant miscellany OF pure
light and graceful literature and collec-
ton OF pictures, the rarest specimen OF ar
tistic skill, in black and white. Although
each succeeding number affords mesh
pleasure 10 its friends, the real value ana
beauty OF Ihe Aldine will be most appreci-
ated sitter II has been bound up at the close
OF the year. While other publications may
claim superior eheapness, as compared with
rivals OF a similar class, the k.ldlne Is an un-
ique and original conception-alone and I'm
prOached-absolutely without concept"
in price or character.
ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.
The illustrations OF the Adine have w
q worldwide reputation, and IN the art CEN
tres OF Europe 1t is an admitted fact that
its wood cuts are examples OF the highest
| perfection ever attgjned The common
| prejudice in favoro' "sleel plates" is rap
| idly yielding TO a l,-.- 3educated and dis
eliminating taste which recognizes the adj
| yantages the advantages of superior artistic
quality with greater facility OF production.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 viii be
| BY Thos. Moran and j. ID. Woodward.
, The Christmas issue for 1874 will contain
special designs appropriate to tho season,
| by our best artists. and will surpass in at
fractions any OF its predecessors.

baby Farming-A New Species
Slavery.

The entire abolition of the slave trade has
vet to be accomplished in New York. AL
though the days of slave ships have long since
passed the traffic in human flesh hourishes in
another and even more henous form. Poor
little helpless infants take the place of the
dusky children of Africa and brutal nurses
that of the overseer. Starvation is found to
be a more efficient instrument OF torture than
the lash which reused the nation once to crush
the relic Of barbarism that existed in the South.
Recent visits to the haunts Of the baby farm
ers, as they are called, reveal condition OF
affairs absolutely shocking. The mortality
among the poor children in those vile dens
reaches sometimes as high as seventy per cent
each year, and the survivors generally have q
worse fate before them. Child murder and
the sale Of infants at this present
day can only be regarded as crying dis
grace to the great city. The unfortunate babes
who escape the discipline Of the institutions
fare little better when they are handed over to
individuals who, for the sake of the few dol
lars paid them, are willing to undertake their
charge. The usual result is death from starva-
ton. The want of sufficient funds in the
treasures Of the founding asylums which
are recognized by the authorities and which
provide for the health and comfort Of those

TIE BETcHER CASE. There are no points in
Che Beecher case which require comment this
morning When the report of the Investigat-
Ing Committee is made public or its purport
clearly understood it win be time enough to
discuss it. We can only hope that it will be
judicial IN temper and Just and fearless in
Judgment. 1t will be seen from the reports that
good many people are quoted as expressing
some remarkable opinions but all this unclean-
ness is to be expected the outcroppings of
such scandal The reporters pictures of
the two households, sketched under great dis
advantages, will be received with painful
interest, for it is the social aud domestic side
of this tragedy which most nearly touches
the hearts Of the community. Take it all in
all there never was q parallel to this scandal
from its inception up to the present moment,
and its significance is enhanced because it
seems to imply that what is placid in our
social life is but the outer crust Of seethine
vo olcano.

of tho play which tells of the frenzied husband

encourage and assist them Their ambition
to improve their condition and rise In the
social scale ought to be fostered by al reason
able methods, but chiefly by assisting their
efforts to become owners of property and free
holders. The rights of property win never b
under safe guardianship In the Southern
Legislatures until considerable body of the
negroes have risen into the rank of taxpayers
and are thus united in q common interest with
the taxpaying community. The most capable
and energetic negroes will first rise into this
rank, and when, to the influence of capacity
and energy they shall have added the natural
influence Of property, they will exert q salu-
tary control over their more dependent and
less thrifty colored fellow citizens. Property
will become safe in tho South In proportion
as the colored population participate in its
ownership. OF course they can acquire prop
erty only by earning it; but the
money already accumulated in the freed
mems savings banks is a gratifying proof
both of their budding industry and frugality.
But as property in that form escapes taxation
they should be encouraged to invest their
earnings in different way. A cottage and
piece of land purchased on credit is the best
and securest of all savings banks. There ought
to be universal willingness in the South to
sell land to the negroes at low price, with
very easy terms of payment They should be
enticed and persuaded by friendly interest in
their affairs and the offer of good bargains to
Withdraw their money from the savings banks
and put it in land. Be the first payments
ever 80 small the sellers could protect them
selves by mortgages, and even if they should
sell the property below its value there is no
other way in which they can SO cheaply insure
the great bulk of Southern property against
Legislative rapacity. Instead of vainly fight
ing against destiny let the South try to make
of the negroes the most that their natural
capabilities will permit, teaching them to rely
on real friends at home rather than lean upon
pretended friends in the North. Prior's rule
for treating wife is the wisest that can be
adopted towards the inevitable negroes -
Be to their virtues very kind;
BE TO their faults q little blind.

F,itering Metropolitan Atmosphere.

Fllterln8 meurOpOAltah hSAhOsP"oHe'
A valuable contrivance has recently been
tried in London for the purpose of filtrating
the air breathed in that misty metropolis.
During the last vacation DR.. Percy, F. r. S.,
who for many years has had the control of the
warming and ventilation of the houses of
Parliament, experimental with cottonwood
filters, through which all the air entering the
two houses would be driven. The result is
highly instructive and suggestive Of the sani-
tary conditions of London atmosphere. The
originally snow white Aeeces of Dr. Percy
air filters soon became of q heavy, murky
brown, thick with dust and infltrated with
organic impurities. The experiment was
made also during Characteristic London fog,
and the large amount of iung-irritating and
floating impurities strongly illustrated the
advisability of adopting the proposed expe-
dent.
Another ingenious contriver in the same
city had anticipated the experiment of Dr.
Percy in his own mansion, which was ventl-
lated from beneath by fans The air was
driven through fine wire sieves and the bank
tells fearful tale of the enormous extent to
which it had been contaminated. London,
however, is not the only metropolitan city
whose atmosphere is loaded with the dele
terious matter arrested and exposed by the air
filter. The localities around factories and
machine shops in nearly all cities are not
much more salubrious than those impreg-
mated with crystal-laden mine air. In our
Western cities, especially the manufacturing
and bituminous coal-burning centres, the de-
terioration of the air is prolific source OF
disease and debility. Besides, the expert
ments in chemical climatology show that usu-
ally the life-giving element of oxygen is de-
ficient and the deadly element of carbonic
acid is in excess in those more crowded and
dusty portions of the great cities.
The sanitary bearings of these interesting
experiments Of DR.. Percy ought not to be
ignored, and their significance will appsar il
we remember the extraordinary amount Of air
daily taken into the lungs. We inhale, in
twenty-four hours, between one thousand and
two thousand gallons Of air. so that, if the
lungs are forced to act as the air filters they
must soon become clogged under the load oi
! impurities. The contamination of drinking
water, which so hOrrifes communities, is un.
important as compared with the pollution Of
the air they breathe; for the amount of water
drunk in day is very small.
The remedy for the corruption of metro
politan atmosphere, on large scale, may be
hard to provide but the introduction oi
understanding furnaces in the large fac
tories, hotels and public buildings woulG
greatly mitigate the evil. 1t is also evident
that with little and inexpensive mechanical
contrivance it would be easy to supply
filtered air to hospitals, hotels and private
dwellings.

LORD GoRDoN's SUICIDE. Some of the par
ticulars of Lord" Gordons suicide are trans
ferred to the HERALD this morning from the
Manitoba papers. The arrest, under the ex-
citement of which the act was committed,
was. TO say the least of it, of a very doubtful
character, but the moral of Gordons death is
the same as in the case of Van Eeten and one
or two others of like character, where the
adventurer closes career of crime by becom-
ing his own executioner.
