THE ALDINE FOR SEPTEMBER.-Every
issue of the AlIine is u surprise to all
who see it, since it shows positive
growth in art, beauty, and literature, from
month to month, as gratifying as it is
wonderful. "Supcrb" is the only word
which fifty characterizes the illustrations
for the September issue. The pictures
are charming in design and faultless in
execution. A copy of Bertrand's Little
Rose" drawn by John S. Davis, and en-
graved by e. Maurand, opens the current
number with flash of beauty almost
dazzling. For feeling, beauty, expression,
and exquisite finish, this picture is equal
to twenty dollar steel engraving. "A
Storm in Utah." by Thomas Moran, is a
faithful transcript of nature, showing the
war of the elements in that strange land.
The engraving has all the finish of bank
note. The two full-page pictures in this
number are Coming from the Forge, y
by John s. Davis, and Kingston, New
York." by Kruseman van Elten. The
former is bold and spirited sketch of a
scene familiar to all childhood life in the
country-two boys on the back of a
horse which has stopped to drink from a
woodland brook on its way home from
the blacksmith's. A dog on the rustic
bridge engages the attention of the eldest
boy Van Elten's landscape shows a
charming stretch of country, and the an.
Gent city of Kingston, New York. Mr..
J. D. Woodward furnishes a general view
of the Palisades, as seen from the Hud
son rivera striking picture. The other
illustrations in this number are "a Bad
job" from the original of Slammed
showing the interior of an armorer's
shop; 1.-THE Women of Schorndorf, y

piiture; three views of Lincoln Cathedral
showing the church, the interior of the
Western Transept, and Bishop Longland's
