q Magnificent Conception, wonder

The necessity of a popular medium for
the representation of the productions of our
great artists, has always been recognized,
and many attempts hare been made to meet
the want The successive failures which so
invariably followed each attempt in this
country to establish an art journal, did not
prove the Indifference OF the people OF
America TO the claims OF high art. So
soon as proper appreciation Of the want
and an ability to meet it were shown, the
public at once rallied with enthusiasm to
its support, and the result was great art

DINE
THE ALDINE while issued with all
the regularity, has none of the temporary
or timely interest characteristic of ordinary
periodicals. 1t is an elegant miscellany CT
pure, light, and graceful literature; and a
collection of pictures, the rarest specimens
of artistic Skill in black and white. AL
though each succeeding number affords
fresh pleasure to its friends, the real value
and beauty of THE ALDINE Will be
most appreciated after it is bound up at the
close of the year. While other publications
may CLAIM superior cheapness, as compared
with rivals of similar class, THE H.

Father Marquette.

Concerning the proposed monument
to Father Marquette, a writer contri-
butes the following to the New York
Tradune:
Father James Marquette died on the
18th of Nav. 1875, on the east shore of
Lake Michigan, at the mouth Of a
stream which now bears his name
Two years after his death, in 1877, the
Indians took up his remains and con-
veyed them to the Mission of Macki-
nae, situated on Point St. Ignace.
They were here buried, but the precise
spot of interment is not known. There
Is, however, here an ancient buryiDg
ground On east Moran bay, near the
point where his remains are supposed
to lie. In 1921 priest of Detroit Wis
tied the place at which he died. Oh
Marquette river, and erected there a
rude cross. 4 late letter writer says
The services Of this great missionary
explorer, however, deserves grauder
recognition, and the people of the great
Northwestern Illinois, Michigan and
Wisconsin specially-regardless of sec
tartan feelings, should see that the
neglect is repaired. The 18th of May
1875, the 200th anniversary Of the
death Of Marquette, would be an appro
pirate day on which either to begin or
dedicate some memorial to his honor
either at the place where his last breath
passed away, or at Nackinac, the scene
OF bis most earnest labors.
The most appropriate spot for the
monument is on Point St. Isnace
being celebrated for its historic asso.
Citations, and within sight both of ole
Fort Maekinac and the Island of Mack
mac, where thousands of vessels pass
and repass annually on their voyage cas-
and west, through the Straits of Mack.

Arctic Voyages.

New York, October 6.-The 7rib-
ame to morrow publishes long letter
from Hamburg giving an account of
the reception oil the returned Austrian
Arctic explorers. At a meeting of the
Geographical Society, Captain Wey,
precht, the leader of the expedition,
related the story of the voyage. He
told how they sailed from Bremen and
first encountered ice, aud how they
struggled and batted with it. In the
autumn of 1872 they were firmly en-,
closed and frozen in. At one time
they had thirty feet of ice under keel,
and were IN region Of intense cold.
They drifted slowly, though not with
regularity, and perfectly helpless. No
power of steam OF sails could do any
thing against the ice of the North they
were quite at its mercy. The summer
brought them no relief. They made
excursions with sledges, and discovered
land hitherto unknown, which they
chrlsteued Franz Josaf's Land in honor
of their Emperor. When Lieutenant
Payer returned to the ship from his
last expedition, it was necessary to con-
slider the question Of abandoning the
Tegethoff. The ship was firmly blocked
L ice, and was lurching SO much that
1t became necessary to shore her up
with spars. There was no prospect of
an escape, and no prospect that by re-
naming longer they could accomplish
much more. Besides. the loss OF the
ship was quite probable in the crush
ing aud heaving of the ice, or, if Ii S
should happen In the winter, the des-
truction of the entire party was newt
able. 30 II was decided 10 return to
Europe, and, on The 2Oth of last MAY,
they lett the ship, With boats drawn
npoG sledges. The way was terrible.
They had to break down hummocks
with axes and picks, so as to make a
road for the siedges, and there we're
frequently days when they did not
make nautical mile in twenty -four
hours. Sometimes they could not
stand, and were forced to crawl over
the rough way, and as they approached
broken water they found there ice
which would not support them stand
ing, and were again forced to crawl.
Several days after leaving the ship part
OF them returned to get a smaller boat.
They found everything safe in the yes
sci, and Captain Weyprecht thinks it
not impossible that she may yet be re-
covered. Through the broken water
they made their way with many hard
ships, and at last reached open water.
Once on the sea they made the best
OF their way southwark. rowing by re-
lays at the rate of about forty miles a
day. They were picked up by Rus
sian fishing smack and treated with
every kindness
Lieutenant Payer spoke of his dis
covery of Franz Josef Land, which he
describes as very rough, with reddish
grey beach showing through the snow,
and with mountains Of various heights
up to 8, 900 ora 600 feet.
