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 dscrnin-
ating taste which recognizes the advantages
of superior artistic quality with greater facli-
ty OF production. The wood-cuts of THE
ILDINE possess all the delicacy and clabor-
ate finish Of the most costly steel plate,
while they afford Il better rendering of the
artists original.
To fully realize the wonderful work which
TIE 1LDINE 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 ALD.NE 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 ALUINE will.
at tritiing 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

tons any of its PREDECESSORS

ever since been crowded with young men and
women eager for an education. 1t originated in
proposal of John SIorer of Maine, Congre-
gational brother; 10 give $4,000 to found a
Normal College at the South, on condition that
others contributed like sum to the same pur
pose and no distinction account of race or
color few Christian men in Western New
York collected the required amount, with
little aid from friends in New England, and the
School became a fact.
Through the influence of the late Senator
Fessenden, of Maine, Senator (now Vice Presi
dent Wilson, of Massachusetts, General Gar
field of Ohio, and others, Congress donated the
four large brick dwelling houses, and the land
which they stand, situated on the heights
above the ferry, to the Trustees of the College.
The buildings had been riddled by shot and
shell but, by the aid of contributions from the
Bureau and from generous friends
at the North, they were repaired, and another
large building erected. Into these buildings
about two hundred young people are crowded
every term and trained for teaching and other
positions of usefulness.
Two pressing necessities now confront those
having this work in hand-a Girls Boarding
Hall, and an Endowment. The former is an
immediate necessity it is impossible to meet
the wants of the large number of girls who seek
to qualify themselves for teaching. without it.
There is no other School above a Primary in
grade in all West Virginia, Western Maryland,
and Southern Pennsylvania, which admits Col
ored youth, and the number who flock to this
School far exceeds the accommodations pro-
vided. 1t is exceedingly hard to turn them
away, and force them to remain in Ignorance,
when they are so eager to learn.
Fifty IhoIso1sd Dollarc are Needed
to erect and furnish suitable Girls Hail. The
foundations have been laid, in faith, and the
walls will go up as fast as the Lords people
furnish the funds, and no faster. 1t is work
for the Lords poor, unsectarian in character,
of great moment, and very promising. We ap

quantity of fibre is unavoidabIy lost, which
causes the yield shown to be little under
what it actually is. With a heavier feed
of canes, this mill has given, on various
occasions, over so per cent. yield. Be-
sides the gain in extraction, the work done
is considerably more than that done by
mills of the general class, having equal
motive power. The engine and boiler,
connected with this mill, had been in use
on the estate before, and are altogether too
small ; with an engine and boiler of pro-
portionate power, l conclude, from the re-
suits already obtained, that the average
yield would not be under 50 per cent and
the work done so per cent. more than at
present. The advantage of short rolls and
large diameter may be summed up as
follows The greater the diameter, the
greater will be the "bite" of the rolls
that is, they will receive a larger amount
of canes without choking, and the canes
will be longer under pressure short rolls
facilitate their being equally fed through
out their length. The megass will not be
broken up so much, Will. the extraction
will be much moro than when rolls of less
diameter are used
A slow speed prevents loss, by allowing
the juice time to fall away from the me-
gass, preventing its being sucked up by the
megass after pressure. Rolls of large dia-
meter, with correctly proportional gearing,
will require less power to do the same
amount of work than rolls of small diane.

McOnie, of Glasgow, and. for design, ma
terial, and workmanship, is considered by
a number of gentlemen, practically ac-
quainted with the working of sugar mills,
who have examined it at work, to be the
most superior article of the kind they have
yet met with in the West Indies, and re-
fleets great credit on the manufacturers.
The system in use on this estate, for re-
ducing the juice to sugar, | may enter in
to in detail at some future time for the
present | may say that it is reduced to sy-
rup in an improved system of open pans,
then precipitated and finally reduced to SUI
gar in the Wetzel pans. Megass, with a
slight addition of dry trash, is all the fuel
required for all purposes. The sugar is Of
excellent quality and equally as good as
when the canes are ground by the other
mill, extracting 60 per cent.

. The average depth of canes, on cane-car-
rier, of this mill was ~ inches during the ex-
periments, the carrier never being stopped on
account of heavy feed. On the others, the
average depth of cane was from 2 to 4 inches,
but the carriers had to be frequently stopped
to avoid bringing the engines to a standstill,
men constantly standing by for that purpose.
