TFrom the Meridian Gazette.
An enterprising newspaper, the Bea-
con, published at Akron, Ohio, has
jackson correspondent, "DeSoto" by
! name, who seems to be pretty well
posted concerning our political affairs.
| It appears that this correspondent was
present at the late county Republican
nominating convention in the city, and
reported the Proceedings thereof. The
speech delivered upon that occasion by
our friend, Col. John Mack, is after
introductory remarks, thus presented:

was heartily applauded, but that Shadd
had control of the wires and secured
the nomination and election.

ART DEPARTMENT. 1874.

Tho illustrations Of The Aldine have
won II worldwide regulations, and in the
art centers of Europe it is an admitted fact
that its wood cuts examples Of the
highest perfection ever attained: The COM
mon prejudice i'll favor Of s'steel platcs'' is
rapidly yielding to Il more educated and
discriminating taste which recognizes the
advantages OF superior artistic quality with
superior facility Tor production. The wood
cuts of The lAldine possess all the tlelicacy
and elaborate finish of the most costly steel
plato, While they afford Il better rendering
Of the artists original.
To fully realize the wonderful work which
The Aldinc is doing for tho cause OF art
culture in America, 1t is only necessary to
consider the cost to the people of any other
decent representations Of tho productions
of great painters.
In addition to designs by the members of
the National Academy, and other noted
American artists, The Aldiuc will repro
duce examples of the best foreign masters,
selected with I, view to the highest artistic
success and greatest general interest. Thus
the subscriber to ihe Aidinc will, at Il
tri1ling cost, enjoy in his own homo the
pleasures and refining Influences of true art.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will
be by Thomas Moran and j. ID. Woodward.
The Christmas Issue for 1874 will contain
special designs appropriate to the season,
| by our best artists, and Will surpass in at
| fractions any Of its predecessors.

BEAUTY AND BRAINS.

81 Some newspaper writer reviveS the
truism that literary women
are seldom beautiful. Their features,
and particularly their foreheads, are
more or less masculine. Miss Landon
was an exception to this one. She was
exceedingly feminine and pretty. Mrs.
Stanton, likewise, is a pretty woman,
but Miss Anthony and Mrs. LiVern ore
arc both plain. Maria and Jane Por-
ter were women of high brows and
irregular, features, as was also Miss
Sedgwick. Anna Dickinson has astrong
masculine face; Kate Field has good
looking, though by no means pretty,
one; and Mrs. Stowe is thought to be
positively homely. Alice and Phoebe
Cary We're both. plain in features,
though their sweetness Of disposition
added greatly to their personal appear
ance. Margaret Fuller had a splendid
head, but her features We're irregular,
and she was anything but handsome,
though sometimes, in the glow of con-
versation, she appeared almost radiant.
Charlotte Bronte had wonderfully beau
tiful dark brown eyes and q perfectly
shaped head. She was small to dimin-
utiveness, and was as simple in her
manner as child. Julia.W Howe
is n fine looking woman, wearing an
aspect of grace and refinement and
great force Of character in her face and
carriage. Laura Holloway resembles
Charlotte Bronte both in personal APP
pearance and the sad experience of her
young life. Neither Mary Booth nor
Marian HarIand can lay claim TO hand
some faces, though they are splendid
specimens of cultured women, while
Mary Clemmer Ames is just as pleasing
in features as her writing are grace
full and popular. ~.

Hearing the door, which was only ten

pursuit was made, but with no result
except to learn from boy that the
young man had ran down the street

RUSSIAN SOLDIERS.
JLottor from Minister lowell.

LLottor from Minister Jcwell.l
You would be delighted to sec the
drill of these Russian soldiers. This
morning, while was reading your
letter, there was parading at the boulc-
ward directly in front of this legation,
a regiment Of cavalry, about 500 strong,
every horse black, not 4 white hair in
all the number, of the same height,
size and style, standing like statues,
while the riders, all large men and
equal in drill, wore helmets and breast
plates of brass polished to the highest
perfection, with draw II sabres of bright
est steel, long, crooked and intended
for business. The eNactitude of these
regiments is wonderful. Most of the
horses arc black, but there are regi-
ments Of grays and bays, but no mix
ture. Each holse must have flowing
name and tail. The infantry and ar
tillery are equally closely selected, no
diversity of height in company, and
they move like machinery. Great pre-
partitions are being made for tho fcstiv-
tiles of the coming nuptials Of the
Duke of Edinburgh with the Russian
princess, and daily drills are taking
place on the Champ dc Mars. l should
guess there were out to-day 1000 or
5000 cavalry, as many artillery, and
10000 or $4,000 infantry. It's Il splcn-
did sight, such rs is seen nowhere else.
Marching is very rapid, and mostly to
trumpets, only sometimes accompanied
by kettle drums, and for show occa-
sions fine big military bands. Tnc
Emperor and all of the imperial family
arc splendid soldiers, and always APP
pear in the uniform of their respective
regiments, which makes the military
idea the prominent one of the empire.
I want to sec no such army i'll our
country-our citizen soldiers are suili-
cicnt; but for an absolute monarchy
like this, it appears to be indispcnSa-
able.
