A Philadelphia Ring Exposed.
Philadelphia radicalism is a# cor
rupt as was Tammany in New York.
A recent investigation into the charg
es of corruption and bribery in the
City Councils began on 12th, and, so
fkr, the testimony shows an amount ot
veuality rivaling that exposed in New
York last year. The testimony of a
trustworthy witness, folly corrobora
te*!, shows that there was a wood pav
ing ring designed to swindle the city ;
that a large sum of money was raised
for the purpose of bribing members of
the Councils to vote for the wood pave
ment on Broad st; that tho affair was
concocted aud carried on in the office
of one member of the Oouucils, and
that when a 'member threatened to
"go back" on the whole concern!
threats were made to kill him. The
testimony, so far astakeu, implicates
many outsiders. It is believed that
those who are exposing the affair do |
so at the risk of their lives, some of j
those'coucerned iu it beiug also im
plicated in the Brooks, Mara, and
Dougherty affairs.
Thus far, in the proceedings of the
constitutional convention —as will be
seen in another column—only two re
publicans have showu themselves ca
pable of rising above the low parti
san, and opposed to prostituting that
august body to a party machine.
These two high-minded gentlemen,
who understand the dignity of their
position and the high and sacred pur
poses for which the convention was
called, are Wm. M. Meredith, of Phi
ladelphia, president of the convention
and H. X. M'Allister from our coun
ty. When Mr. M'Allister was placed
upon the republican ticket —as dele
gate at-large—we at once felt certain,
that one honest republican would be a
member of that body; we always gave
Mr. McAllister credit for sincerity
andjeever doubted his honesty of pur
pose in advocating measures to which
our party was opposed. He is not one
of those republicans who endorses eve
ry abuse his party is guilty of. He
is a republican who will not hesitate
to do credit to a political opponent
when he sees he merits it. This is the
line for every true patriot to pursue,
and it is the spirit that must control
the men who are to frame our funda
mental law, if they would be true to
their sacred trust
We do not follow the course of some
papers that differ with Mr. M'Allister
in politics and take this occasion to
taunt the radicals on account of his
course at the organisation of the con
vention. We know that these same
journals would denot'uee a democrat
for doing what Mr. M'Allister has
done, had our party been in a majori
ty and some of onr ring roosters been
there to ran the convention in the in
terest of party as did Harry White
and M'Veigh for the rads.
Now that the election is over we
hear of proposal to the pay of
Grant's office-holders. A Washing
ton correspondent of the N. Y. Times,
Grant's leading organ, predicts a re
grading and increase of salaries of the
uioat important officers in the civil ser
vice, as one of the first acts of con
gress. The salary of the President, the
correspondent save, "roost be raised be
tween qow and the 4th of next March
in order to have it take effect during
any part of President Grant's second
term. It is certain that he will not
ask to have his own salary increased,
nor will he exercise any influence to
have it increased ; but if the proposi
tion is made in Congress to raise it
$50,000 per year, it will hardly meet
with much opposition. It is more
likely tbat an appropriation will be
made for a new executive mansion.
It is an old plan to have a dwelling
house for the Presidentjn a different
S.rt of the city and use the White
ouse as an office, ani it is now quite
time for it to be carried out."
It is claimed that Graut's majority
on the popular vote will be 500,000.
If that is so he is the negroes' Presi
dent, as their rote for Grant was far
above that figure. On the white rote
of the people, the vote that has here
tofore always elected Presidents, Grant
is a beaten candidate ; and the people
cf the United States must submit to
what may emphatically be called ne
gro rule, rallied to a vote procured by
the same means which changed the
vote of the 9th ward in Philadelphia
from 993 counted, for 2,993 returned
for Hartranft.
The blackest fraud united with the
blackest men have dirtied the old
flag- _ l
The popular vote of the U. 8., \
may be pretty nearly approximated 1
in the following estimate : <
Whites for Greeley 3,300,000
Whites for Grant 2,900,000 <
White majority for Greeley 400,000 <
Negroes for Grant 960,000 ]
Negroes for Greeley 60,000
c
Negro majority for Grant 900,000 \
Grant's total majority, white and t
negro combined, is 608,000 The to- 1
tal vote is fully 7,200,000. Grant's f
majority on this is about seven per I
cent. In other words, he has 100 votes u
toGreeley's 93. This is the extent of o
the tremendous sweep we hear so
much about.—Cin. Enquirer. - r
The banks are already recovering, and p

quiry for commercial paper, and as the F
fears of investors are allayed by the gen- p

demand for undoubted grades may be f
looked for. The majority of sales made ii

THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.
A meeting of considerable intpcr-'
tancc in the interests of the Kvangel
ical Alliance was held 12th, iu Brook
lyn, at the Church of the Pilgrim#.
| The immediate business was the pre
sentation of a statement by ono of the
S.'crelaries, the Rev. I)r. Phi ip
Schaff, respecting the forthcoming
Convention of the Alliance in New-
York City— the first to bo held In
this country. Among it* poiuU wtrs
the following :
The Evangelical Alliance \tas organised
in London in IBM to promote Christian lib
erty and unioit among Protostaal denom
inations throughout tho world. It was
not a sectarian body, -Anil miglit rattier
be compared to militia force to bo used in
special emergencies, as when liberty of
Joonseienoe is threatened, or where open
persecution of individuals for their relig
ious opinions exists. There had been thus
far five general Conferences held, one at
Landen, one at Paris, one at Genera, one
at Berlin, and the (last at Amsterdam in
1867 The mth meeting was t* have been
held in New York in 1870, and prepara
tion# for for it were nearly completed w hen
live new* of tho rupture between Germany,
and France and the immediaie opening ot''
the conflict rendered its) postponement ne- j
ceesary. As it was ,30 European delegate
came over, but hastened back on
jon discovering the threatening aspect of
affair* on the Continent.
l)r. Schaff theu obseived that the po*l
pocntent loomed providential, as tubte
nueut event* had only made tho religious
horizon clearer, and the Alliance could now
meet under more encouraging autpicos
titan ever boiore. Since 1870 the Pope's
power had been diminished, Italy had be-
I come free, liberty of conscience had been
I more broadly asserted in Europc.and, still
I later, every cause of dispute and vexation
I between England and America had been
I settled amicably and forever. The way
Ifor the march of Christian!)-, pure and
simple, was less obstructed now than two
year* ago. The speaker stated farther
that for some time past he hrd been trav
-1 sling in Europe to make preparations for
the Conference of the Alliance hero next
Fall, lie had visited the prominent pas-
I tors aud clergymen of tho Evangelical
I faith, aud had been able to secure tho at
tendauce ot most of, them at the coming
meeting. It was a matter of regret that
I the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, M Guizot, aud a
number of eminent Professors from Cam
bridge and Geneva would be unable to
come. But those who were eonfidently
x pee ted would form a brilliant body of
man. Among ether* would *be: From
Scotland—The Rev. Tho#, Guthrie, D. D.,
Wo, Arnold, David Brown, and Pro&.
Ranncv and Blakie ; from England—The
Dean of Canterbury, the Rev. Drs. Leeds,
Angus, Harrison, Richie, and other*;
from Ireland—the Rev. Mr. Steveuson ;
I from France—Dr. Pressense, M. Moreau,
and Pero Hyacinthe ; from Holland—Van
Oosterxee ; from Italy—Father Uavazzi;
and others from Sweden, Germany, Switz
land, and Russia. The entire number
from abroad would be from 300 to GOO, and
a finer opportunity would nover present
itself to residents of New York for giving
the representative minds of Europe a
wholesome lesson of America. In regard
to the meeting the danger was that the
Council would be too large, and it was
therefore proposed to divide the meeting*
between Brooklyn and New York, The
residents of both cities would hare abund
ant opportunity to show their hospitality
and kindness to tbo visitors, and it was
not too soon to make preparations for the
I event
The Rev. Henry Ward Beccher follow-
I ed with a brief address in which he vivid
ly contrasted the institution* of th old
and the new world, showing how grand
the opportunity would be to manifest to
the European member* of tho Council the
earnestness of a religion aurtured on a free
soil. The devotional service* of the meet
ing were conducted by the Rev. Drs.
[Stoors, Budington, and SchnecL.
THE CONSTITUTION A L CON
VENTION
First Day's Proceedings
MEREDITH ELECTED CHAIRMAN
Promptly at the hour of twelve the
constitutional convention met in the
hall of the house representatives and
was called to order by Hon. F. Jor
dan, secretary of the commonwealth
who read the governor's proclamation
containing the names of the delegates.
The lobbies were crowded by citi
zens and strangers. Eager questions
were asked concerning the location of
Curtin, Black, Woodward, Walker,
Gowcn, Darlington, Hopkins, and
other distinguished members.
After calling the roll of members,
' Mr. Darlington, of Chester, nomina
ted Wm. for president.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Pur
viance, of Allegheny, and was unani-;
mously adopted. The president elect i
was escorted to the chair by Messrs.
Woodward and Darlington. Messrs
Meredith, Woodward, Darlington and
Purviance were all members of the
convention of 1837.
Mr. Meredith briefly returned
thanks, when the business of the con
vention proceeded. The ease, decis
ion and the promptness with which be
disposed of every auestion as it arose
occasioned much flattering comment.
It was evident that the right man was
in the right place.
At the first opportunity a delegate
presented resolutions of the councils
of Philadelphia inviting the conven
tion to hold its future sessions in that
city. Mr. Linn Bartholomew re
sponded with a resolution at once ac
cepting the invitation. Various
amendments and motions were put
which occasioned considerable debate,
but it was evident that a large major- j
ity was in favor of immediate adjourn
ment to Philadelphia. At length Mr.
Gowen offered a resolution that the
invitation of the councils of Philadel
phia be accepted and the convention
meet permanently in that city after ,
the first of Januarv. This resolution
was adopted by a large majority.
On motion the chair was authorized
to appoint a committee of ten to con
sider and report what permanent offi
cers are needed by the convention,
when the first day's session came to its j
close.
From the proceedings of 13th inst.,
we clip the following:
The following resolution was offer
ed by Mr. M'Allister and unanimous
ly agreed to:
Resolved, That the report of Fran
lis Jordan, secretary of the common
wealth, be accepted au<l approved, and
;hat the thanks of the convention arc
lereby tendered to him for the faith
ul and satisfactory manner in which
le has performed the duties devolved
ipon bim by the act of the 11th day
if April, 1872.
Mr. Gowen offered the following
esolution:
Resolved, That the president np
>oint a committee of ten, of which he
hall be one, to report the names of
iroper persons to fill the positions of
lermanent officers of this convention.
Mr. Gowen said that he made that
esolution for the purpose of exclud- I
ng anything like partisan seramh- I
ing for office. He had read in the I
corning papers that the officers had 1
ieen selected without consultation,!
ritb all the members. He thought it
fH taiMtb th dignity of a reform i
convention to twrmit anything like
partisan scrambling for office. He
would therefore ask that the conven
tion shall agree to the appointment of
a committee of ten, of which tho presi
dent shall bo chairman, to select offi
cers, without regard to partisanship at
all, to preside over this body.
Mr. Lilly moved to amend by strik
ing out nil after the word resolved utul
insert tho following: That this con
vention proceed to nominate and elect
a chief clerk.
Mr, McAllister said he hoped that
this amendment would not pass. He
thought it was beneath tho dignity ot
this body to assemble here to estab
lish nn organic law and submit to the
dictation ola party of men outside
this convention iu selecting officers.
Ho had read with surprise iu the
morning papers the distribution of the
office# which the convention had ap
pointed a committee to create. He
tkvored the appointment of a commit
tee to select ttiosc officers, as roeoui
mended by Mr. Qowcn, of Philadel
phia, aud thought it would be surely
done in fairness. A committee should
he appoiuted to inquire iuto the qual
ifications of the persons applying for
office and select those who will per
form their duties well.
Judge Woodward said ho would n
support tho resolution of his friend li'
front Philadelphia [Mr. Gowen] and l
concurred iu his views. He thought i t
tho general desire of the people was r
that tho laws of Pennsylvania should t
be revised without tho slightest refer t
etiee to the partisan polities of the day. .C
He said that they had not deliberuttd r
loug before he heard the presiding of- t
ficer call a member of tho eouveution i
|to order foY alluding to jutrtisau sub i
ijects, which was an intimation from i
! the highest source that they were tojt
have uo political discussions. The 1
j manner iu which this body was elect I
jed shows that the people of Panusyl-ji
vania intended that the minority I
I should be represented in everything;!
done iu this body. He said there were i
' three hundred and twentyfive thousand j<
| tax-payers in Pennsylvania who are 1
(called the minority, aud they are rep- ji
! resented by a body of gentlemen upon i
(this floor. Is it iu accordance with <
1 the spirit of this msjoritv for a por- i
| lion of this body to assemble in a tav- i
eru in secret caucus aud there decide .1
that no representative of that three '
hundred and twenty-five thousand 1
tax-pavers shall be represented iu the
officers of this body? That no man |
shall be made secretary of this body 1
when ho is the fittest man for the po
sition, but be is to be excluded from i
eveu a chance of an election because,
there has been a caucus oi violent par
tisans ? He hoped Mr. Goweu's reso
lution would pa.ss.
Mr. M'Veagh thought that thoso|
delegates who were elected by tho ma
j jorily of the voters of this common
j wealth were entitled to select the offi
| cers who were to do the work of the
(convention. He thought it was a
'shrinking of duty wheu candidates
i were presented for office, that he
should vote alternately, first tor a'
! gentleman who voted for him and
! then for a gentleman who voted
j against him.
The yeas aud uays were required on
■ the ameudment of Mr* Lilly, and it
was agreed, yeas G7, nays Gt>. Messrs.

Ji Effect* of the Boston Calamity in Fi

New York, November 11.—The

ic of discussion to-dar through finau
■ j cial and trade circles. Many .con
! servativo underwriters place tlie loas
at $75,000,000 and the insurance at

have been advanced from seven
ito twenty per cent. Boston men arc

The destruction of eleven million
J pounds of wool, a stock of five million

The Wool Trade—Look Out for an
Advance In Wlnter Clothing, i
[From the X. Y World J
To judge from the general aspect of
affairs in the wool trade in this city
the fire in Boston was an ill wind that
blew an immense injury to the Bosto- (
niaus, but one that was an indirect be- |
nefit to the trade of this city and Phil- t
adclphia. The almost total destruct- t
tion of the wool trade Boston,',,
where the stock in store was estimated )
at about 12,000,000 pounds, or a trifle
over an eighth of the whole clip of the
United States, cannot but enhance the
value of the stock now in store io this
city, which at a liberal calculation, is
a very light one, the supply, both do
mestic and from South America, be
ing all in hand and cannot be increas
ed until next spring or early summer,
nor can the supply to arrive from
Australia aud the Cape of Good Hope
at English ports, and which is estima
ted at one third less than last year's
clip, increase the supply in this coun
try, and it is generally expected that
the annual wool sales which will be
gin in London ou the 21st of Novem
ber, will show a very decided advance
in prices.
The trade had just begun in the city
for the season, and the sales of wool
on Saturday were larger than they had
been for some time. Of course the
fire has Btruck an immediate blow to
the trade and will stagnate it for a
few days, uutil the general wreck can
be cleared away. But the holders of
large stocks, if they can stand the fi
nancial storm caused by the almost to
tal loss of over 8100,000,000, cannot
but realize a handsome profit on their
stock. The stock now on hand can
not more than supply the machinery
engaged in the manufacture of woolen
goods, even if run, as they have been
of late, at half time, while the supply
now held in England and to arrive
will but serve to keep their milla at
work at Bcant half time. As far as
could bo ascertained yesterday none of
the New York houses were disastrous
ly affected by the fire, other than by
the general depression in the money
market, which they hope to tide over,
while the increased profits on the stock
held by many of them, and the de
flection of the trade formerly held by
the Boston merchants to New York,
was deemed by some more in the light
of a blessing than a loss.
The actual sufferers by the loss of
material will, to a great extent, be
the public at large, at all kind* of
woolen goods will advauca immediate-
Iv, and those who have not purchased ti
their winter overcoats or woolen un- l
derch thing will have to pay from •
thirty to fifty per cent more for them, <
or bo copteul.H) with wearing an in- l
ferior article, composed more of shod- 1
dy than anything else. >
lu several cases recently tried in
(lii)crcut states the question has beeu
'raised of the liability of life insurance I'
companies to be holders of policies on ,'
lives which liavg terminated through ! 1
suicide or intemperance. In regard to '
the question of suicide the decisious in
this country have widely varied. lu
England the courts have uniformly
decided that if a person taking hi* <
own life has sufficient intelligence to 1
know that the act iu which he is en
gaged will prove fatal, he violates the l
conditions of the contract, and the '
policy cannot be recovered upon; 1 !
while if the man is so insane as not to' I
know that he is taking hi* own life he !<
cannot be said to die by bis own baud J
I within the meaning of the policv. In ,
| Detroit lately the widow of llenry
Wolff, who committed suicide in 1871
brought suit against a Connecticut {
company to recover a policy of |3,000 i
seucd on her husband's life. The pol 1
cy sets forth that it shall be void if
he insured died by bis own hand, lu
his case it was conceded that Wolffi
•willy died by bis owu haud, but the
Jourt went beyond the English decis'
on* and held tbat. although the Mil
ado might know that the act would*
result fataly, if be was impellod there- '
toby au irresistible impulse he did;
not die by his own hand w ilhii the
meaning of the policy. Under this!
ruling testimony at to the actual con-:
ilition of Wolff's mind was admitted,
when it traunpired that he had long',
beou addicted to intemperate habits,
aud had killed himself while suffering
from delirium tremens. It was then
shown that the policy also stated that
it should he void in ca*e of death bv
delirium
the matter that by consmt of coun
sel on both sides a juror was with
drawn, aud the case permitted to go
over for the term in order that it
might he proper!r considered in its
new aspect. In Louisville a widow
has just recovered $22,000, with in
terest to date of verdict, from another
Connecticut company, which had re
sisted navmeul of the policy on the
grouuu that tho assured had died from,
delirium tremens. The company based
its refusal to pay on a provision in the!
policy which declare*! it should be!
forfeited, if the assured should become;
so far intemperate as to impair Lisj
health or to induce delirium tremens.
The company introduced some proof,
tending to show that the assured had
delirium tremens in a mild form ; but
this was denied by the plaintiff and
by the physician who atleuded the de
ceased, and it was satisfactorily pro
ven that uranic poisoning was the,
proximate or immediate cause of hisj
death. Thus the perplexing ciueslion
was evaded, the jury giving the ver
dict on the belief that tbe'mau did not;
die of delirium tremens. There is no
decision of the United States Supreme
Court to govern such cases.
A liberal and democratic conven
tion met at Columbus, Ohio, on 15th
aud was well Attended, and tome of the
best men of botb parties were present.
They held their session with closed
doors, no reporters being admitted,
jThe proceedings were perfectly har
monious. A conciliatory address wii

by both the liberal and democratic
chairmen inviting all to stand by the
liberal party who had done so, and all
others who approved of its object, and
an appeal to all democrats not to al

KDUOATION.
| Thing, uiay have a value in themaelvea,
lor they may have a value, not in them
< selves, but only in so far at they are con
ducive to something else, something be
jyond. In the former case we term such
things a yoorf, an end; in the latter, a
mean* to an end era good. The value ol
I the former is absolute, that of the latter rel
ative—depending on the value of the mult
tie be obtained. To illustrate, bread and
j clothing have an absolute value being a
good, an end in themselves , the value ol
money is relative and|dependt on the value
;of things that may be procured for it; it n
I therefore a means to an end. Thus, on the
basis of either of these principles the value
I or importance ol an Kducalion may be ee
timated. Some persons consider an edu
cation valuable only in proportion as it is
conducive to some pecuniary mult or
gain, and attach no importance to sciences
which are of no direct utility in making
money. Hence, the study of Music, Draw
ing. Fainting, Philosophy, or the like, is
considered a useless waste of time. Othors
consider education a good in itself, that Ln
; dependent of any pecuniary advantages
resulting from it, it is an essential constit
uent of a perfect man They regard man
as a good unto himself, and that bis train
ing should be so directed as to developc all
i the faculties of his miad in a harmonious
manner. The latter of these views is, un
doubtedly, the nearer correct, but both are
extreme and open to objections. To c-sii
jroate every thing by the standard of dol
lars and cents is wrong; and, on the other
hand, to ignore the advantages which an
education affords a man to minister to the
( wants of his family and those around him,
| seems equally unreasonable.
1 shall endeavor to show, in the first
j place, some of the pecuniary advantage*
afforded by an education, and in the lec
'ond place, consider the subject in its high
!rr and nobler sense by a discussion of the
| true end of study.
I will introduce the subject by asking
the question; Does it poy to devote the
time and incur the expenses necessary to
| the acquisition of an Alucation? Intelli
gent men would without hesitation ans
wer yas. But there is a class of men, pre
judiced against schools and every thing
having a connection with ictellectual
training, who see no value in any thing
unless manifested directly through dollars
and oents. It is useleef to talk to a person
of this typo of the bencuts in general oc- 1
curing from learning, 110 may live in a
community of intelligence and refinement;
have rail-road facilities and manufactories
at his door ; his land may be worth from
one hundred to two hundred dollars an
acre; and ho may enjoy all the comforts
which the highest degree of civilization
can bestow, yet he i too short sighted to
discern the source of these blessings. Il
his sons ere to bo taught reading, writing, I
and arithmetic, it is with tbo expectation
that, from their proficiency in raanipula- 1
ting book accounts, the reward is
immediately in the shape of the big dollar.'
Indeed, such souls are exceedingly mi
nute, and were ail mankind to relapse in
to their modeof thinking, the world would
toon degenerate into barbarism. Those!
men stand in their own light and are the!
rery essence of selfishness. You will sev-j,
er catch them subscribing liberally am
voluntarily towards the support of any ed
ucntional of charitable institution.
Not long ago a miserly school dirocto
remarked, while denouncing the commoi
School System, teachers, and county am
state supts., that a good oducalion was on
iy for tho rich t What magnanimity o:
soul! Because a boy is poor he must l
securely held down by being kopt igno
rant, Fortunately, sentiments of this clasi
are not very general, yet it is a lamentable
fact that some people do entertain them ,
and could we see into the hearts of men,
more of this uncharitable fooling would be
discovered than is suspected. But ,ths
world moves on with these men in spile of
themselves.
Bring it down to its narrowest sense, and
knowledge pays—pays in a pecuniary way.
An intelligent workman always has better
apportunities and is paid bolter than one
that plods along in ignorance. 11 o will )a
--1 bor to belter advantage and knows how to
' invest hit oirnings. lio uadeistands the
material upon which ho oporatea; ho is, to
a certain utcnt, bis own lawyer, writes
bis own letters, keeps his own books. On
the other hand, an uneducated workman is
a mere physical machine, and led to his
own rosourcos, bo must perform his labor
by thoer physical csertion. lie often la
bors in vain ; he will dig for coal In plfeoi
where a geologist would never dream of
finding any. lie must give much of his
hard-earned money to others to do hit
business for him, and is ever at the insrcy
efsharpsrs Who can not recall to mind
a number of men who lost all or part of
their property through lack of a little
j knowledge of some simple principle of
Jaw ? instances ate numtrou* en# R9B*

A* • rule we Am) that the bet educated
teacher* and other professional men re
clove the hirhest wa|i>>. Go Into a dis
trict In which the average standard of in
telligence I* low, anJ you will always ids
serve that leacherw' salaries range from
twenty to tliirty dollars per month. And
you wilt also And a class of teacher* there
whose literary qualification* correspond to
their pay. Ho It it with the member* of
every other profession. Indifferent ones
are left to eke out a miserable existence in
cotniuun'.tie* which can not or will not pay
liberally.
Perhaps we may beet appreciate the
utility of knowledge by comparing the se
curity and comfort of enlightened govern
ment and a happy household with the cru
elty and wretchedness of roaming savage*.
For, alt the comfort* and convenience* cf
modern society end happy homes are the
accumulated result* of knowledge duriug
ages. All the great discoveries and inven
tions which lighten tabor by making Na
ture'* element* subservient to the will of
man, thu* raising him above tbe level of a
mere physical machine, may be referred
to the seme source. But, it is said discov
eries and inventions have generally been
; the result of accident. This may be true
'in one sense or to some extent, but tbey
were never suggested to minds not already
(trained by deep and continued thinking;
| ibey would never have occurred to an un
i tutored savage. A Hottentot may see
(tower iu steam, or view with awe the
lightning flashing athwart the dark brow
of the frowning storm-cloud, yet be would
never think of hitching the one to bis ca
noe orot giving the other a tongue to speak
to his fellow being* The first idea of the
: probability and manner of utilising these
j potent agents was reserved for observing
and trained mind* to accomplish. Thus
jit ha* been with the thousand* of dtscov-
I cries of science and the almost infinite
j number of mechanical device* which leas
ion labor and emeliorate man'a condition.
Tbey have been achieved only by the pa
tient investigation and energy of educated
minds. In the hurry and bustlo of life we
seldom pause to consider to what we owe
our present prosperity, or if recogniaing it
a* the fruit of intellectual training, we can
• hardly be made to comprehend bow inis
erablo we would be bad it not been for
this 'agency. To portray to our minds
mere vividly what has been accomplished
in this respect within tbe lost hundred
veers, let us imagine that, at this moment,
all telegraphs.frail-roads, and machinery
■ propelled by steam, not including thou •
' sands of other modern appliances were an
nihilated; we would then wait for news
from the Pacific coast or Europe two or
three month* instead of about that many
minute*; journeys end transportation of
, merchandise to and from different place*
k would require as many months nearly a*
Cat present days. Instead of taking our
. seal* in cars and gliding along at the rate
tof thirty and sixty miles an hour, we would
I be jolted along in slow coaches at about
i one-tenth that velocity. Hailing vessel*
f depend an wind and tidf, steamship* move
, on, even if these oppose. Hweep away tho
i accumulated products of s few centuries,
. and we plough the toil with sticks of wood,
j smoke ourselves In windowless huts, grind
[ ! our flour by hand, and inscribe our
thoughts in rude character* on the bark ofj
i trees.

Til* Ai.nigg is on elegant miscellany of
pure and graceful literature ; and a collec

beauty of THK ALLM N K will be most ap
preciated after it basbecn bound up at tne
close of tbe year. While other publica

compared with rivals ot a similur class,
THK A LIMN R is a unique and original
conception--alone an uiiapproarhed—abso

ART DEPARTMENT.
Now withstanding the increase in the'
price of subscription last Fall, when TUK
At. DINK utttinod ita presoi.t noble pro
portion* and representative rhuartar, the
edition was more than doubled during the
paat year ; pro*inn that the Amoakan pub.
lie appreciate. and will support, a tin cere

The publisher* are authorised to an
nounce desig# from many of the moat
eminent srluts of America
In addition, THE ALDIN K will repro
duce examples of the beet lore tan master*
selected with a view to the highest artistic
tuccea, and jtreatatl general interest;
avoiding *uch a* have become familiar,
through pcolograph*, or copies of any
1 kind.
The quarterly tinted plaU-t, for 187$, !
will reproduce lour of John 8. Davis' in
iim table child -sketches, appropriate to the
four seasons. These plate* appearing in
the Usuaa for January, April, July, and
October would be alone worth the price of
a rear * subscription.
The popular feature of a copiously il
lustrated "Christmas' number will be
continued.
PREMIUM CHROMOS FOR 1873.
Every subscriber to THE ALDINE.
who pays in advance for the year 1878, will
receive, without additional charge, a pair
of beautiful ml chromos. after J. 8. llill,
the eminent English painter. The pic
tures, entitled "The \ illag* Bella," and
"Crossing the Moor," are Ux'JU inches
are printed from 25 different plates, requir
ing 23 impressions and tints perfect each
picture. The same chromos are sold lor
s>llo per pair in the art stores. As it is the
determination of ita conductors to keep
TUK ALDINK out of the reach of com
pel ion* in every department, the chromos
will be found correspondingly ahead ol
any that can be offered by other periodic
alt. Every subscriber wtll receive a cer
tificate, over the signature of the publish
ers, guaranteeing that the chromos de
lievsred shall be equal to the samples fur
nished the agent, or the money will be re
funded. The distribution or pictures of
this grade, free to the subscribers to a five
dollar periodical, will mark an epoch in
the history of Art; and, considering the
unprecedented cheapness of the price for
THE ALDINE itself, the marvel falls lit
tle abort of s miracle, even to those best
acquainted with the achievement of inven
