1t is paper that is alive to the interests
humanity and liberty-a
L1V E PA PER-

1t should be read by all. 1t gives no I'M
certain sound. 1t seeks to advance true Re
publicanism and sustains the administration
of u. S. Grant.
1t is the only paper in Tennessee that adj
vocates..the complete and impartial extension
of Civil Rights to the colored citizens by the
enactment of a national law, and their inn
partial education and development; and will
endeavor to promote and improve the inter-
ests of the industrial classes of the colored
men of the South by forming Cooperative
Associations, to effectively organize and car
ry out schemes of interest and profit to each
other individually and collectively
1t will sustain the living issues of humanity
and an improved and higher civilization in
refinement, in opposition to the expressions
Of caste, spite and malignant hate of race,
which seeks to degrade and ignore the pros
poets, privileges, and rights of the colored
citizens of the United States; and demand
IN unmistakable terms the rights of the
colored citizens which they are entitled to in
the offices, honors and emoluments of the U.
S. government, without prescription by their
fellow white Republicans, or their utter neg
lect as has been in the past.

LONG BRANCH, n. j., July %, 1874.
To- The Editor Of the NtD National Era:
DEAR SIR: Having been absent from
YOUR city for some time, 1 thought 1 would
write short letter for your paper, so that
its numerous readers might learn Of my
whereabouts. l left the city Of Washington
June 18th, stopped week in Philadelphia,
and spent a pleasant time with host of
friends that made me welcome, and had quite
a difficulty INJECTING away from them. From
thence started for the seaside where l have
been since. 1t was known by all my friends
that had decided to open barber shop at
the Hathaway House, Long Branch, New
Jersey. The Hathaway House is a beautiful
place, situated about five miles from the
Branch at a place called The Deal. 1t Is
surrounded by beautiful trees, and is always
cool and pleasant. 1t is kept by Mr.. VIM
Hathaway, an aged gentleman. that has been
permitted to live beyond the allotted time
for man to live. Having reached the ad-
vanced age of seventy-three years, he is still
active, and as sprghtly as a yonng man.
He has some fine-looking sons, one particu-
larly so, who is named after his father. l

PUBLXC EDUCATION

1t will send forth no uncertain sound, believing,
as it does, that the Common School should be
nursed by all the people of our State. The sys-
TEN of Common Schools, now in its infancy in
our State, will do more to bring about the degree
of harmony and concord so devoutly wished for
by majority of our citizens, than any other
medium we know Of And when neat and com
Portable School houses adorn every hill side,
valley, and cross-road in our State, with good,
live and competent teacher in each one, whose
labors will be shared by all our people, then,
and not till then, will our State be marching on
the high road to prosperity and civilization.
The Plain Dealer will also be the champion of
THE FARMER AND LABORER.
1t wishes TO see them raised TO higher standard
OF civilization and society. The Laborer must
be the equal of the capitalist and the rights of
the Farmer must be protected.
The capitalist and laborer are more widely ST. n.
arated in this State than any other of the Union,
and the sooner they are brought together, and
each feel that he is entirely dependent on the
other, the better it will be for both.
Ours is peculiarly an agricultural State, and it
will be the special object of the Plain Dealer to
gather such information for farmers as will be of
great benefit to them.
In launching the Plain Dealer we wish its
name to be harbnger of the manner in which
it will deal with all classes of persons, parties,
objects and desires. We will endeavor to make
it a welcome visitor in the family of the highest
as we'll as the lowest in the land And we trust
our friends and we'll -wishers will assist us in ex.
tending its circulation. We desire agents in eyery
State. Those who will act for US will receive a
liberal compensation.

Premium for 1871.

Every subscriber to THE ALDINE for the
year 1874 will receive a pair of chrOmOs.
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
1.-THE East" and "The West" One is a
view in The 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 (l2 lG) and appear
ance exact tac-smiles of the originals. The
presentation of worthy example of Ameri-
cas- greatest landscape painter to the sub
scribers of THE ALDINE was bold but
peculiarly Eappy idea, and its successful
realization is attested by the following testi-
monial, over the signature of Mr.. Moran
himself.
NEWARK, n. j., Sept 20M, 1873.
Messrs. JAMES SUTTON 4 Co.
Gentlemen,-I am delighted with the proofs
in color of your chromos. They are wonder
fully successful representations by mechani-
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 tC
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 a tritle, uhiis equal ii,
eUery respect to other chromos that are sold singio
for double the subscription price Of TWE
ALDINE. Persons of taste will prize these
pictures for themselves-not for the price
they did or did not cost, and will appreciate
the enterprise that renders their distribution
possible.
If any subscriber should indicate a prefer
ence for figure subject, the publishers will

Art DEPARTMENT.. 1879.


The illustrations of THE ALDINE 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 "steel plates" is rapid
ly yielding to more educated and discrimin-
ating taste which recognizes the advantages
of superior artistic quality with greater facili-
ty of production. The wOodcuts of THE
-dLDINE possess all the delcacy and eabor-
ate finish of the most costly steel plate,
willie they afford n better rendering of the
artists original.
TO fully realize the wonderful work which
THE ALDINE 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, THE 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 ALDINE will,
at tritling 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-
tiOnS any of its predecessors

THE ALDINE, while issued with all the
regularity, has none of the temporary or

artistic skill, in black and white. Although
each succeeding number affords fresh pleas

of THE ALDINE will be most appreciated
after it has been bound up at the close of the
year. While other publications may claim
superior cheapness, as compared with rivals
of similar class, THE ALDINE is a unioue

Religious Frenzy in Lapland.

K a writer in an English rnagazips
says, in speaking of service in o Lap
land church JIG seems that within
the last few years kind of fanaticisin
has crept in among theae .Eap,s. and
the word Of God, instead Of .sponring
oil upon o bruised spirit as every one
is taught to; believe who will read the
Scriptures Alright, only fills. them with
imaginary terrors; and, far different
from the creed of theareal Christian
they seem to think the best, atonement
they can make for their. sins lies in out
ward show. Yhave seen a;little of this
IN other churches in Sweden; where at
certain partsof the service sthe women
all commence groaning and sobbing SO
loud that yon can scarcely hear the
clergyman. This, however, soon passes
Oh, and is scarcely worth notice. These
.anps, however, must have been far
more, susceptible, or far moro wicked,
for all ut once, when the communion
services began, two or three women
sprang mp in different parts Of the
church, and commenced ! frantically
Jumping, bowling, shrieking and clap
ping their hands. I Iobserved one mid
die-aged female particularly energetic.
and who sank down in kind of fit after
about five minutes exertion. The in
feotion soon spread, and, ina few min
utes, two-thirds Of the congregation
Joined IN the cry, and all order was, at
an end. Five or six would cluster
round one individual, hugging, kissing,
weeping ana ;shrieking, till T. really
Thought seme one would be- smoshered.
One old patriarch in particular, who sat
close behind me, seemed an object of
peculiar yeneration, and the Lapps
crowded from all parts of the church
to'hug him. How he stood It i cannot
imagine, but he sat meekly 4enongh,
and ut one time I counted no less than
seven miserable sinners hanging
about the old man, all shrieking and
weeping. The religious orgies of the
wild aborigines in Australia round
their campfire are not half 80 frightful
as this scene, for they Mt least do not
desecrate place Of worship with their
mad carousals."

their royal thighhesses led the way (the
blind Duke of Mecklenburg taking in
the Princess of ,Wales) into the upper
tents which were pitched in the garden,
and reached from the ballroom windows
by descent of few steps. There
were two tents, q long marquee with ta-
bies accommodating between two and
three hundred people, and o smaller one
with buffet. The supper was q bril-
liant scene; for, besides the feast itself
and the gorgeous throng which
partook of it, the tents were finely
decorated. Figures of men in armor
and rich tapestry were set and hung all
along the wallis of the larger marquee.
This WAS splendid, but the smaller, and
still large, tent of the buffet was ex-
quisite. Here all was scarlet. The
walls were hung with scarlet velvet In

embroidered in the centre with gold
and precious stones in the Indian man
