THE ALDINE, An Illustrated Monthly Journal, universally admitted to be the Handsomest Periodical in the World. A Representative and Champion of American Taste. < Not for Sale by Book or Neicx Stores. THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regularity, has none of the temporary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It is anelegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature; and a collection of pictures, the rarest specimens of artiitic skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of TIIE ALDINE will be most appreciated after it has been boud up at the. close of the year. While other publications may claim superia cheapness, as compared with rivals of a similar class, THE ALDINE is a unique and original conception?alone and unapproached?absolutely whithoutcompetition in prioe or character. art ntfPARTMENT. Notwithstanding the increase in price of subscription'last Fall, when THE ALDINE assum) ed its present noble proportions and representatives character, the edition vat more than donllcd during the past year; proving that the American * public appeciate, and will support, a sincere ef*. fort in the cause of Art. The. And the' plans for the coming year, as unfolded by the monthly ? issues, will astonish and delight even the most sanguine friends of THE ALDINE. The publishers are authorized to announce designs from many of the moBt eminent artists of America. In addition, THE ALDINE will reproduo examples of the best foreign masters, selected , with a view to the highest artistjf success, and greatest general interest; avoiding such as have , become familiar, through photographs, or copies of any kind. The quarterly tinted plates, for 1878 will re- i produce four of John S. Davis inimitable child- | sketches, appropriate to the four seasons. These -- '' ? fnr Junnarr. plates, appearing iu mc ... ? April, July, and October, would be alone worth the price of a year's subscription, , The popular feature of a copiously illustrated "Christmas" number will be continued. The publishers propose to make "assurance double sure," by the following unparalled offer of PREMIUM CHROMOS FOR 1873. Every subscriber to THE ALDINE, who pays in advace for the year 1878, will receive, without additional charge, a pair of beautiful . oil chromos after J. J. Hill, tfao eminent Enelish . . painter." The Pictures, entitled "The Village Belle," and "Crossing the Moorj" are 14x20 inches?are printed from 25 different plates, requiring 25 impressions and tints to perfect each picture.

It commences with a recognition of the.blessings which the American people have enjoyed within the year past, the only exception being tho great fire in Boston. He refers to the Go* neva Arbitrations and its satisfactory results which left the two Governments, American and English without a shadow on their friendly relations which it is sincerely hoped may forever remain equally unclouded. It recommends the immediate creation of a Board of Commissioners to decide on the amount to be paid to the individuals. It compliments Mr. Adams and Mr. Bancroft 1 for their eminent services in the matter of 1 the txeneva ana can .Francisco ATDitrauuna, the decision in tho latter case leaving the United States for tho first time without any 'i question as to disputed boundaries. 1 .In regard to the fisheries and to cur relations with the British North American provinces, the President says that he has received notice that the imperial Parliament, and the Dominican government had passed laws to carry the provisions of the treaty of Washington into operation, and he therefore 1 recommends legislation of Congress in the ! same direction, fie speaks of the friendly 1 relations of the United States with all the i governments of Europe. He refers to the < Vienna International Exposition, and xe- i commends the fitting up of two national < vesseis to convey the goods of exhibitors to ] Trieste, and suggests that a proposition be i made to have the next great Exposition in i this country in 1876, at the time of the Cen- i tennial Celebration in Philadelphia. He refers to the disturbed condition of Cuba, ! and says that no advance towards pacifica- < tion in that island has been made while the i insurrection had gained no advantages and < jxhibted no more of the elements of power 1 )f prospective sucoesa than a year ago; uei- t :her had Spain succeeded in repressing the ? insurrection. The parties to the strife were standing in the very same attitude as they x lave for a long time past. The condition of 1 ilayery in that island be regards as one of { die strongest causes of the continuation of the ? (trifo, and he thinks the abolition of slavery rod the institution of other reforms there < could not fail to advance the restoration of f peace and .order. It adds greatly to the s Popes that the present liberal government of < Spain will voluntarily adopt that view. 1 Referring to our relations with China and t Japan, the President recommends provisions t for maintaining four American youths in 1 each of those countries as part of the drplomatic family of the ministors. x He gives details of the revenuo received 1 ta this past year the fOfflSonuB to the I amount of over one lronclred millions of the ? public debt. JHe. expresses a doubt whether ] any farther reduction in taxation is practi- i cable for the present, and he recommends < that no more legislation be had on that sab- e ject, except to correct.errors of omission or i commission in the present laws, until suf- i ficient time shall have elapsed to provo that < it can be done and still leave sufficient reve- < nue to meet current expenses, pay interest 1 on the public debt and provide for the Sink* i ing Fund. He suggests also that the cur- < rency shall be, as soon as possible, brought I to a par with gold. < Ho says that various enterprises will be brought to the attention of Congress for ; cheapening of transpoatation of produce from ' the West to the Atlantic sea coast and sug- , gests that steps should be taken to gain all , available information to obtain equitable and ( judicious legislation In this connection*, ] he favorably refers to the proposed route to ( connect the Mississippi Valley with the Atlantic at Charleston and Savannah by way of the Ohio and Tennessee rivers; also' to the . proposed extension of the James river Kanawha Canal and the Chesapeake and Ohio canal to the proposed ?an J from Niagara Falls. He says that there should be almost a continuous system of land locked navigation from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico, nature having provided a greater part of the route, and the obstacles to be overcome being within the skill of engineers. He calls attention to tho weakness of the American Navy and endorses the recommendation of the Secretary of the Navy in th&t respect; he recommends subsidies for steamship lines to Brazil and between San Francisco, ^ ^ ?J J A na^waIia ftlpA Art lnnrOQCO l\ew UUU121UU auu jn.uouaua, amvr uti uivivaov of the salaries of "heads o Bureaus. He favors the abolition of the frankling privileges and rccbmmends a modification of its existing evils. He also recommends tho-adoption by Congres of the best method of acquiring title to all t^jegraphic lines nowip operation, and of connecting that service with the Postal Service. It is not probable that the subject can receive proper consideration at this season, but he thinks the. movement might be had free to the Government and the private parties concerned. He calls attention to the alarming falling .? a j :?i? j OH in ine American carrying iruuc, auu o?j? that a yearly expenditure of five million dollars for the next five years to restore that trade would be a profitable investment. Referring to the Ku Klux outrages, the President expresses his convictions tnat the time is not far distant when the advantages of good order and peace will induce an abandonment of all such combinations, and when it will be unnecessary to carry on prosecutions, or to inflict punishment in order to protect citizens from the lawless doings of such combinations. He makes suggestions in regard to the Indians, that they shall all be confined to the territory south of Kansas, and that farms be secured to them in fee and in soveralty. He recommends that a further census be taken in 1875, but that no reapportionment of members of Congress be made under it. *. In only one of the Territories, Utah, is the condition of affairs regarded by the Presidont as unsatisfactory. It had seemed to be the policy of the Utah Legislature to evade all responsibility to the Government of the Unit-, ed States and even to hold a position hostile to it. He recommends a caroful revisien of the present laws and tho enactment of laws that will secure peace, the equality of all citizens before the law, andtheutterextinguishment of polygamy. He recommends an appropriation to reimburse the city of Washington for work done in front of tho public reservations and for the embellishment of the public buildings and grounds. He favors action to give greater eclat and success to the observance of the centennial anniversary *of American Independence. In regard to eival service he says he will carry out the rules during his term of office, but suggests that there should be direct ac * *? tion of Congress to matte.tno system uinumg on his successors so as to secure to the public Berrice a practical method of obtaining faithful and efficient officers and employees. The reading of the message was completed at 3:50 o'clock, 'having occupied one hour and ten minutes. Nitro-G-lycerine Again. Yesterday at noon five hundred pounds of nitro-glycerine exploded near the line of tho New York and Boston Railroad in Yonkers, killing George Hill, aged twenty-ono, and Michael Gallagher, aged sixteen; mortally Founding John Donnolly, aged nineteen, and seriously injuring Wm. Terry, aged twenty>ne. The New York and Boston Railroad is to pass about three miles east of the city )f Yonkers, and one mile west of Bronxville. Blasting has been going on in that vicinity. )f late, and as a great amount of this work s necessary, nitro-glycerine has been deposited at different points for use when wanted, festerdav Hill, Gallagher, Donnolly and ferrv while out punning found five cans containing one hundred pounds each. A pit ibout four feet deep had heen dug, and the aura placed in the excavation. A strong once had been built around it, and on all iides were placards bearing the words, "Danger." "Beware." "Nitro*Glycerine." The boys walked around the fence comnenting upon the improbability of danger rom such harmless looking cans, and Hill j >roposed that as it waa Evacuation Hay they thould create some fun by smashing the cans. | The others readily consented, and all four slambered to the top of a large rock about . ifty feet above tbe glycerine, and rolling a 1 itone weighing about fifty pounds to the j edge of the rock. Hill and Gallagher prowsed to tumble it into the pit. Terry said he darned thingmight strike fire and blow he stuff up. Hill, laughingly, said, "let isr blow j we'll have some fun anyway."? ' rerry seized Hopnolly by tbe arm, and run- i ring away about two hundred feet, they hid jehind a large .tree, at the sametime jeered J itone down. It struck the cans, and the cx)bsion which followed was heard and felt | or ten miles arourfd. Trees, stones, and even great chunks of earth were hurled in every direction. The rock where stood Hill ind Gallagher, weighing hundreds of tons, ? ? * A mi__ 3 ??? ;vas Diown mio iragmenrs. iue ktuuuu nu orn up hundreds of feet around. A firstdoss earthquake could not create greater jovoc.' Every pane of glass for miles was shattered, and the inmates terrified. The ixplosion was heard iu White Plains, Tarryawn, Tremont, Washington Heights, and even over in New Jersey. Workmen from the railroad hurried to the scene, well knowing what had happenod.? They found Terry and Donnolly ffith their slothing stripped from their bgdies, lying ibout two hundred feet from the scene of the explosion, groaning in agony. Donnolly's body was badly lacerated. His legs and one arm were broken, his body was black and blue, and one eye was gone. He was mortally wounded. Terry was the least hurt, and will probably recover. . He is the only one left to give an account of the affair. When the smoke had cleared away search was made for Hill and Gallagher. Hill's body was blown to atoms. His entrails were suspended from the limb of a tree five hundred feet away. Other parts of the body were scattered for hundreds of feet around. Only a small part of his remains, however, had been found last night. Gallagher's body was not blown into so many particles as Hill's. His legs were found severed froin the body, which was perfectly nude. Even his boots had been torn to shreds and scattered among the drfons. The body, minus the arms and head, lay about fifty feet from the legs. The scalp and face without the skull, were found in another place. The arms were shattered and only portions were found. The skull is is still, missing. Capt. Mangin, of the Yonkers police, was soon on the spot and took charge of the wounded men. They were taken to Saint John's Riverside Hospital. Donnolly is insensible and will not recover. Terry was too badly hurt to give a full and detailed account of the explosion last night. Coroner Smith arrived in the afternoon from Hastings, and began preparations for holding the inquests. Hill's remains?all that can be found?will be viewed this morning by the coroner's jury. The excitement in Yonkers, and in fact throughout the entire neighborhood, was terrific. All sorts of conjectures were advanced as to the explosion. Some insisted XT?11 riatA Unrl Knnn Klntxtn iin TTKtin . tUilb XXVII uawuau WVWU w?vnt> m^/j nwaiv others thought there had beeu au earthquake! The superstitious fell on their knees in prayer. The irreverent trombled .with fear, but everybody anxiously inquired what the matter was One old lady in the Suburbs of Bronxville was in her yard when a piece of the fence with the word "Danger" fell at her feet, and she fainted on the spot. All four of the boys lived on what is called Hog Hill, Within the city limits of Yonkers. Hi.l resided with his parents, and Gallagher boarded with his aunt. They were of the poorer class and worked at odd jobs in Yonkers.?iV. Y. Sun.

The lithographic, or sMm process, is that generally used in this ^l&mtry; but having been feund too slow, and inherently defective for renderings sonic of the most delicate tints, great effort has beenjmade to find a substitute, by which a higher ^degree of perfection could be attained, and&he superior productive capacity, of relief- substituted for the uncertainties and delays of surface printing.

X ' _ Messri James Sutton & Co., of 58 Maiden Lane, New York, publishers of The Aldine, had adopted his process for the production of ' fchoir Prfemium Ohromos, some three years ago; and, with the increased facilities thus placed a^his disposal, Mr. Stahl has been enabled to achieve the most admirable results, ( and tho firm aro now printing Chromos, .5 equal in every rtspect to tho very best for- , eign specimens. , The pQRpre to he copied is covered with , a transparent sheet of oiled paper, on which ^ a tracingevery outline is made.

Gen Lee's Room.?The Nashville Union and American says: A gentleman residing in this city, and who returned from the Washington and Lee University, of Virginia, relates some pleasant facts connected with the last days of Gen. Lee. He says that the private room in which the General occupied has been left just as it was whep he went out of it on tho morning he took to his bed, and from which hO never arosa. The General went into his room at the usual hour shat morning, put on hisslippcrs, took a seat near a window, from which he drew the curtain partially back, and began reading a copy of thb Nashville Union and American. He had been complaining of feeling unwell, and after reading a short time he laid the paper on' the table and left the room, never more to return. To-day the visitor'to the University is shown the room which he is allowed to enter, but is prohibited from touching anything. On the dust covered table he sees the paper as it dropped from the hand of the great chieftain, and near the chair, which is partly turned around^, his slippers. The curtain is in the same positien in which the General had placed it, and in the inkstand is the deeply corroded pen, just as it had been left when last used. A guard is mounted at the door every day to sec th^t nothing about the room is distured by any one visiting if. How a President is Elected.?Each State is entitled to as many electors of President and Vice-President as it has Senators and Representatives in Congress. In each State the electors are chosen by a nlurnlitvvote. That is. if three sets of elect ore be voted for, tho sets having the highest "number of votes is chosen. But a candidate for President, in order to be successful, must have a majority of all the electors. Tho electoral colleges, as now constituted, consists of 317?159, therefore, are necessary for a choice. -If there are three candidates for President, and neither of them receives a majority of the electoral college, then there is no choice, and the election goes to the House of Representatives. The House must conSno their choice to the three highest candidates voted fbr by the electors.

We quote some of the more d salient passages: To completethe description of the- outer r life of the celebrated banker?I mean to coo- ? tinue to show him in bis offloe-^-I most not. *' forget to mention the deafening aud iuceesant noise, the endless uproar caused by opening ' and shutting doors, and the gloing and coining ^ of clerks bringing telegrams or letters/ or 0 asking signatures. The appeals of the clerks of Btock brokers, and other broken asking n for orders, added noHttle noise to the tumult, r which gave to "The tfaron's" office something s like the appearance of the ToWer of B&bel. v All languages, even Hebrew, were spoken. A crowd of friends of the three sexes?mascuKne, feminine, and begging?in qnfest of something filled the offioe all day long. One j( met'there even dealers in precious stones, who spread before the Baron's .eyes their caskets of jewels; even dealers in old curiosi-- 4 ties and pictures, who came to offer their rarest J treasures; even pretty women, who wriggled J in everywhere, coming to ask for informa- tion or for something else. And amid ?dl t this pitiless yid incessant throng, while- the { brain of the great banker, always at work, j was in danger of bursting under the acoumu- \ lation of figures and the battle of calculations, his youngest son ([I still see that chubby cheeked child) sometimes camegallopping ? in on his father's canc and blowing on a 1 trumpet like the angel of the Yalley of 0 Jehosophat.

( One day, annoyed by the quotations ofthe market, he became so angry he tore up my . memorandum to oblige me to write it" out ! again, and called me "one taint shakass." I bowed, and giving my voice all the humility ! compatiable with my offended dignity, I replied : "A great many people probably have 1 formed that same opinion of me, but this is f the first time anybody has taken it into his head to tell me so."
