Gardozo'~ Arrest

The arrest of Cardozo for forgery,
makes serious business for that official
and will let him down a button hole
lower than he boasted himself in his let
ters to the PlaindealeI describing how
the Irish barber at Detroit felt honored
in giving him shave. The prospects
are that Superintendent Noonan may
be called upon to decorate him with an
outfit appropriate to the Institution over
which he preSides The affadavits on
which he was arrested, were made by
Republicans, one of them colored, and
it will not be alleged that he is perse-
cuted on account of his politics or race.

E'he 'H'lsir-d Term

The statement published yesterday in
our Long Branch letter in reference to
the probable coalition of Grant and the
enemies Of the republican party on the
ground Of third term created quite "A
sensation among the politicians. The
idea seemed TO gain ground that where so
much smoke was there should be fire.
To this conclusion the country is gradual
ly drifting, and men begin TO see that the
third term is not So impossible as it ap-
peared to some political wiseacres.-N. {. Y.
Herald
As to the reported coalition between
Grant and the enemies Of the "Republi-
can party" we have given it no credit,
though, there appear to be conservatives
who are inclined to support him. If he
is candidate again, the probabilities arc,
that he will be taken up by the Repubii
cans for another term, as he was taken by
them at first, from necessity.

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 a more educated and discrimn-
ating taste which recognizes the advantages
Of superior artistic quality with greater facli-
ty of production. The wood-cuts of THE
ALDINE possess all the dclicacy 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
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 U!
great painters.
In addition to designs by the members o.
the National Academy, and ether noted
American artists, THE ALDINE will re-
produce examples Of the best foreign
masters, selected with view to the highest
artistic success and greatest general interest.
Thus the subscriber to THE ALDiNE Will,
at a trifiing cost, enjoy in his Own home the
pleasures and refining influences CT true art.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will
be by Thos. Moran and j. u. Woodward.
The Christmas issue FOX 1874 will contain
special designs appropriate to the season, by
our best artists, and will surpass in at.rac-
tons any of its predecessors.

1t Is rarely a man in descending back
stairway with an armful of things, and having
to open a door at the foot, leans against the
door while doing it. The performance is so
devoid ofinterest as to not admit Of repetition,
but sometimes happens and this was the case
on Friday with Mr.. Briggs of Elm street.
He had had little social gathering the night
before, and was now returning few articles
borrowed from the family on the first floor
below. He had tin pail full of gobets and
preserve dishes, and one arm full Of plates.
He sat the pail on the stairs to free one OF his
hands, and pressed his knee against it to keep
1t from sliding off. This movement caused
him to press rather heavily against the door,
but he either did not notice it, or believed he
was resting against the wall. So in this
ignorance or confidence he raised the latch.
and Immediately went plulging down two
steps and into the room below. dragging the
crockery and glass ware after him, and max.
ing most frantic but hopeless efforts 10 catch
himself. It unfortunately happened at this
juncture that the down stairs lady was in the
act Of crossing the room with Il pot OF coffee
aud platter OF bnckwbeat cakes, anG mad but
jus; time to incline her head toward the Oper-
ir.g door when the catastrophe was upon her,
and she went down in a heap, covering her.
self with hot buckwheat cakes, and her unfor-
tunate caller with hot coffee. The terrific
crash brought every other occupant Of the
house to the rescue, but they were not needed.
The temperature Of the cakes and coffee was
OF such a degree as to stimulate the unfor-
tunates to help themselves, and they were on
their feet in an instant. The lady was led
into another room and had her head rubbed
while Mr.. Briggs, declining the consolation
Of quart hottie Of camphor, q most admira-
bic remedy in case of scald, and the advice
OF his wifs's mother to let her see where he
was burt, at once shot into the cellar, and
barring the door behind him, remained there
In gloomy contemplation for two whole hours,
despite the warnings Of his wife through the
Key hole that he would catch his death Of
cold.
