The illustrations OK the ALDINE KAY"
won q Worldwide reputation. and in the
art centres of Europe it is an admitted iac>
that its wood cuts are examples OF the
highest perfection ever attained. The
common prejudice in favor of steel plates
is rapidly yielding toanore educaicd and
discriminating taste which recognizes the
advantages and superior artistic Iuallt,E
with greater facility of pro,!nctio0. Tho
wood-cutS of the AFn'Nr posses, al! the
dclicacy and elaborate finish of the most
costly steel plate, while they afford a bet
ter rendering Of the artists original.
TO fully realize the wonderful work
which the .A]'line is doing for the cansr u,
art culture in America ii is only ncceN,
sary to consider the cost to the people oi
any other decent representations OF the
Productions Of great painters.
In addition to designs hy the members
of the National Academy and other noted
American artists, the Aldine will repro
ducc examples of the best iorc IN masters,
selected with a view to the highest arts,

Thus the subscriber to the AlIinc will, al

HAASLAND PLANTATION.
June "a, 1874. !

Editor Caucasian
Dear Sir misunderstanding that the
horse disease is prevailing aboutyour
section of country, | conclude to send
you a recipe for the cure o'same when
I nave used successfully on every case
under my hands. -.
| first apply warm t'rpentlne wen 1
rubbed in to the swollen parts, anu
tlcn place a piece of cloth over same
and Dress a hot smoothing iron on it. t:
Then drrnch the animal with a half
pint of wlnskcy, mixed we'll with sui,
rIIur. and one spoonful of spirit Of
u,trc, and a drachm Of iodide OF po-
tsssinm, once day, and if the case
does not improve give 1t every tour
hours.
Ihad one case, a mule, which |
thought cured after q day or two the
swelling had disappeared, and he ap-
peared all right, but on last Sunday
evening came up with its head and
neck terribly swollen. ] Immediately
used the knife on the swollen parts,
and took out Us much as a quart |
suppose, of putrid matter and Jumps
OF clothed blood. | then bled him
pretty freely, and inserted a piece Of
poke root in each Of the openings |
had made with the knife, and he is
now doing well. My mules are now
all right. l would recommend bleed
III tho first treatment.
| enclose you an extract from a
New Orleans paper, | believe from
the Picayune.
"With a sharp instrument make
several incisions in the affected part,
take blistering ointment (Ries) which
noisten with coal oil, aud make a
plaster large enough to cover tho
whole sore. Suffer this 70 remain
until copious suppuration isproduced'
Meanwhile drcnch the animal with a
spoonful of hartshorn in a half bottle
of whiskey.
Should the swelling not diminish,
or there be no apparent relief, drench-
ing with the above described mixture
may be repeated thrice within five
hours, allowing due interval. Keep
the sore we'll cleaned and apply coal
oil freely"
Iremain yours truly,
A. NJ. HAAS.

THE SINGER.
The Worlds FayOritc.


THE SALES Of the SINGER last year
was the greatest ever attained for
any Sewing Machine in year, and was
nearly double the sales of it's highest
competitor, as may be seen by reference
to the account of sales for 1873, from
sworn returns made to the owners Of the
Sewing Machine Patent-from which
statistics we select the five leading MA
chimes, viz:
The Singer sold 22,444
Wheeler & Wilson, 1880
Domestic, " 4O,ll4
Grover e. Baker, 36,176
Weed, 21,769
It will be observed that tho difference
in favor of the SINGER, is tho enormous
amount of ll3,254 over the highest com.
petitor. This result has been obtained
after years Of competition.
We submit to an interested public if it
is claiming too much to say the Singer
is the most popular Sewing Machine in
the world.

For more than half q century the
Saturday Evening Post has been the
GREAT LITERARY WEEKLY
Of the Country, and has ever borne a
widespread and unbltmished reputation
for the unsurpassed purity. refinement
and excellence of the Serials, Sketches
and Miscellaneous reading matter.
1t is pre-eminently
The Best Family Paper
that is published in this country, from its
never containing anything that would
offend the feelings of any one, either in
a religious or political sense, or that
could not be read at any tireside without
objection from the most fastidious.
The circulation of the Saturday Even
ing Post, through not quite so large
perhaps, as its younger contemporaries,
is not, like that of some of them, fuctu-
ating, and too often short lived, but
SURE, SOLID AND. SUBSTANTIAL,
based upon the intrinsic merit of the pa
per itself and not dependent on any ex-
traneous influences, such as the populari-
ty Of individual writers, &c.
Good, however, as tho Saturday Even.
ing Post has been in the past, it is our
intention to make it still better in the
future, and with this object in view we
will effect marked Improvement in eve
ry department of the paper, and will
call to our assistance writer's of admitted
ability and known reputation.
BY increasing its former attractions,
and adding many judicious and pleas
ing novelties, by studying how to please
and cultivate the popular taste, by in.
creasing industry and enterprise, and by
enlarged facilities, we hope to make new
friends with each and every issue, and
continue to maintain the claim of the
Saturday Evening Post to it's title of THE
OLDEST AND THE BEST of Family Story
Papers.
