AAT DEPARTMENT., 1884,

The illustrations of TIE -iLDINE have
won worldwide reputation, and in the art
centres Of Europe it is an admitted fact that
its wood cuts are examples of the highest
perfection ever attained. The common
prejudice in favor Of "stccl plates" is rapid
ly yielding TO a more educated and discrimin-
ating taste which recognizes the advantages
of superior artistic quality with greater facili-
ty of production. The woOd-cut5 of TIE
ALDINE possess all the dclcacy and clabor-
ate finish Of the most costly steel plate,
while they afford better rendering of the
artists original.
To fully realize the wonderful work which
TIE 4LDINE is doing for the cause Of art
culture in America, it is only necessary to
consider the cost to The people Of any other
descent representations Of the productions Of
great painters.
In addition to designs by the members of
the National Academy, and other noted
American artists, TIE ALDINE will re-
produce examples of the best foreign
masters, selected with a view to the highest
artistic success and greatest general interest.
Thus the subscriber to THE ILDINE will,
at triing cost, enjoy in his own home the
pleasures and refining influences of true art.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will
be by Thos. Moran and J. d. Woodward.
The Christmas issue for 1874 will contain
special designs appropriate to the season, by
our best artists, and will surpass in attrac-
tons any of its predecessors.

Premium Tor lD7A.

Every subscriber to THE ALDINE for the
year 1874 will receive a pair Of clromos.
The original pictures we've painted in oil for
the publishers of THE ALDINE, by Thomas
Moran, whose great Colorado picture was
purchased by Congress for ten thousand dol
lars. The subjects were chosen to represent
''The East" and 1.-THE West" One is a
view in Yle White Mountains, New Hamp-
shire; the other gives The Cliffs Of Green
River, Wyoming Territory. The difference
in the nature of the scenes themselves is a
pleasing contrast, and affords good display
OF the artists scope and coloring. The
chromos are worked from thirty distinct
plates, and are in size O2 10y and appear
ance exact fac-similes of the originals. The
presentation of worthy example of Amori-
cas- greatest landscape painter to the SUBJ
scribers of THE ALDINE was a bold but
peculiarly Happy idea, and its successful
realization is attested by the following testi-
monial, over the signature of Mr.. Moran
himself.
NEWARK, N. j., Sept. goth, 1873.
Messrs. JAMES SUTTON s. Co.
Gentlemen,-I am delighted with the proofs
in color of your chromos. They arc wonder
fully successful representations by mcchani-
cal process of the original paintings.
Very respectfully,
(Signed,) THOS. MORAN.
These chromos are in every sense Ameri-
can. They are by an original American
process, with material of American manu-
facture, from designs of American scenery
by an American painter, and presented to
subscribers to the first successful 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 trihe, achile equal IN
ecery respect to other cromos that are sold singly
for double the subscription price Of THE
ALDINE. Persons of taste will prize these
pictures for themselvcs-not for the price
tho lid or did not cost, and will appreciate
the enterprise that renders their distribution
possible.
If any subscriber should indicate a prefer
encc for figure subject, the publishers will
send Thoughts of Home" a new and
beautiful chrome, IA X 90 inches, represent
ing little Italian exile whose speaking eyes
betray the longings of his heart.

THE SU N
WEEKLY, sEMI-wEEKLY, AND DAILY.

THE WEEKLY SUN is too widely known
to require an extended recommendation; but
the reasons which have already given it fifty
thousand subscribers, and which will, we
hope, give it many thousands more, are

tertalning and instructive reading of every
kind, but containing nothing that can offend
the most delicate and scrupulous taste.
1t is a frst-rate story paper. The best
tales and romances of current literature are
carefully selected and legibly printed in its
pages.
1t is first-rate agricultural paper. Tho
most fresh and instructive articles on agri-
cultural topics regularly appear in this
department.
It's an Independent political paper, be-
longing to no party and wearing no collar.
1t fights for principle, and for the election of
the best men to office. 1t especially deyotes
its energies to the exposure of the great
cOrruptions that now weaken and DISGRACE
our country, and threaten to undermine
republican institutions altogether. It has
no fear OF knaves, and asks no favors from
their supporters.
1t reports the fashions for The ladies and
the markets for the men, especially the cattle
markets, to which it pays particular atten-
ton.
Finally, it is the cheapest paper published.
