IHE ALDINE.-There Is much in an artistic
way in the August Aldine which viii delight all
lovers of the besstiful. Nothing more graceful
or charming has ever been seen in an American
magazine than the full-page picture called The
Village Beauty" drawn and engraved oy the
eminent French artist, c. Metals. The flowers
and sbrubbery by which she is surrounded, the
naturalness of the drapery in which she is clothed,
the rustic path she treads, the innocent EXPIRES
sion of her face, all combine to make rare and
lovely picture This work has been engraved in
delicate and exquisite style, resembling bank
note engravings. Mr.. J. ID. Woodward contri-
butes a series of grand and bold pictures of the
Palisades of the Hudson, some of the most strik-
ing scenery in America. The full-page picture
of the "Pinnaeles of the Palisades is massive
and solid in appearance, and will give the rea-
der new idea of these great towers of stone.
Two large pictures, contributed by Peter Moran,
called "The Shady Lane" and "The Sunny Slope"
are sure to arrest the attention and please the
eye, since they represent pastoral scenes with
which all Americans familiar. The cattle
and sheep in the woods, or seeking the brook
side for water, are true TO life aud full of the
spirit of summer time. A picture, full-page, re-
markable for its light and shade its rich foliage,
and deep, clear waters, is from the pencil of
Kruseman van Elten, aud is view on Esopns
Creek, near Kingston, n. Y. The other illustra-
tions in this number consist of three fine views
of Westminster Abbey, a portrait of Augustin
DAILY, and "The Breakfast" by Epp, German ar
tist. The literary contents Of the August AldiRe
consist of seventeen articles, all original, and all
replete with interest. Joseph Watson writes of
civilian Hogarth;" Fannie Roper Fendge has
an article on "whte Elephants" Engenie FOa
relates an interesting incident in the life of Lud-
wig Won Beethoven" Mrs. NJ. f. W. Sherwood
has a story called "Sly Only Ghost" J. c. Stock
bridge has an essay called Memories of FiesoIe"
and Mrs. E. W. Winthrop. sister of the lamented
Theodore Winthrop has an article on "American
English and English English" DIR. Fuller-Wal-
ker has second article on Westminster Abbey.
The poems and numerous editorial articles i'll
the August 1IdiRe are of the usual merit and in
terest. Subscription price, S., including chro-
mos "The East" and "The West" James Suts

WHAT ALL This Fuss WAS ABoUT.-We have
not yet seen copy Of that "cowardly and ill.,
famous slander" upon J. C. Horton, that did such
good campaign service for a few days; but from
what we can gather from the papers, the thing
is about boiled down to this: One Mr.. Shea,
(prObably descendant of the zone horse Shay"
was the author Of the communication, and it
contained no charges against J. C. Horton, but
against his brother, s. S. Horton, whom it re-
presented as having carried on some intrigue
with servant girl at J. C. Horizons house. Ii
was rather poor business to put into political
letter, but the character of the offence does not
justify the fuss that has been made about it.

II The editor of the Chief has been accused
by some people, Of harboring grndge forever

Tended with him. But now comes the Wathena
Reporter, and charges with eating dirt, because
we do not perpetuate personal and local fight
upon Judge Price. Because we once opposed
him, it is eating dirt now to favor him. The Re
porter has our free consent to ransack the files of
the Chief, and publish every article We ever wrote
against Judge Price. If We said anything two
years ago that wOuld render it inconsistent for US
TO support Price now, upon different issues, poke
it at us. That's the way we do, when We get the
drop on fellow.

The water spOut at Lanrley


These are e{emphaticaHy the -days-of
signs and wonders. AS near to us as
Langley, has occurred the phenomenon
ofa water spout. 1t came to pass on ole
of those extraordinarily hot days last
week. The Langley pond is immense
covering 600 acres. At q certain hour
there came and rested over this pond a
small but dark cloud; and the waters
were troubled and ran in huge waves.
Presently the cloud shot downwards a
conical column, and simultaneously the
waters shot upwards like column. The
two met in mid air, and formed gigan-
tic tube or tunnel, through which mill
ions of gallons Of water were sucked up
from the pond into the cloud. AS the
sucking process went on, the column
did not remain stationary, but moved
slowly from near the dam to the Rail
road trestle. 1t then disappeared, and
thecloud moved rapidly off, On the same
afternoon, some hours after this, there
was violent hail storm in the Aiken
s,ction-supposed to be the outpouring
ofthis remarkably laden cloud.

majority Of the Radicals has always been
exaggerated. The whites have never been
fully polled since the war, and the ballot
has never been free from frauds. Tose-!
cure such cooperation the honest colored
people should be invited to full share Of
all Pubic Offices. Power entrusted to us
should be administered without favor or
prejudice, SO as to secure the bestinterests
OF the whole people, protect equally in
the endowment OF his Just rights eve
ry citizen, however high or humble,
and promote the welfare of all,alike, SO
far as may come within the legitimate
sphere of government.
Upon such principles only can harmony
and good government be securc.l in The
presentstate OF society here. Cooperation in
thisgood work would lea. to mutual depen-
dence, resnect and good will, and tend
more to tie elevation acknowledgements Of
the colored people than all othcr possible
cxpedients.
| consider these views, worth ponderng
at this time with reference to the taxpay-
ers' movement and the promised reform
in the Republican party. Of course the
policy of the people can only be settled by
conventions Of their authorized represen-
tatives, but it is well 10 take counsel to-
gether and to interchange views before
hand, in order that the public mind may
settle down upon such measures as may
be approved after due consideration. 1
firmly believe the hour of deliverance is
at hand, if we but be true to ourselves.
Islndeed, the crisis does not. admit the
thought.o of failure Success is: anecessiLy;
failure is death, and disgrace to The Com
monweaith.
need not say to you that LIDO not
presume to dictate policy, and consider
my opinions of much less Importance than
you seem to attribute to them; such as
they are they are heartily at your service
Very truly yours,
J. B. KERsHAW. 2
