"A Magnificent Conception, Wonderfully carried out." The necessity of a popular medium for the representation of the productions of our great artists, has always been recog nized, and many attempts have been made to meet the want. The successive failures which so invariable followed each attempt In this 'country to establish an art journal, did not prove the indifference of the American people to the claims of hish art. So soon as a proper appreciation of the want and an ability to meet it were shown, the public at once railed with en thusiasm to its support, and theresult was a great artistic and commercial triumph THE AL.DINE. TJIEALDIXE, while issued with all the regularity, has none of the temporary or timely interest characteristic of ordinarv periodicals. It is an elegant miscellany of 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 a fresh pleasure tojits friends, the real value and beauty of The Ahline will be most ai preciated after it is bound up at the close of the year.

Sheridan as a Liar From the San Francisco Examiner. Since the time of Titus OateST in Great Britain, two centuries ago, the Cincinnati Enquirer says there has not been so swift a witness as Phil. Sheridan. To make this comparison of our cotemporary understood, it should.be remembered that ' Titus Oates had become aware of a great plot of the Roman Catholics to mur der an indefinite ' number ' of good, loyAl Protestant subjects and to sub vert. the Government of thei realm. Jle and. kindred associates- "testifi ed and there' was a general persecu tion of Catholics. Years- afterwards it was conclusively proven what everybody in the first instance ought to have known that he was a shame less liar, and that a large number of innocent persons had been sufferers thereby. He was taken out of New gate Prison, put at the tail-end of a cart, and whipped from the jail to Tyburn, where he was perched in the pillory for an hour or two, and again whipped back to Newgate. Sheridan's columnies upon the peo ple of Louisiana, in his dispatch to Secretary Belknap, dated Jan. 10th, transcended in atrocity the fabrica tion of Oates. He says that since 1SCG nearly 3,500 persons, a great majority of whom were negroes, have been killed and wounded in Louisiana, and he adds: There is ample evidence, howev er, to show that 1,200 persons have been killed and wounded during this time on account of their political sentiments. Frightful massacres have occurred in the parishes of Bos sier, Caddo, Catahoula, St. Bernard, t. Landry, Grant and Orleans. The in the a?ove-named parishes is so well known that it 13 unnecessary to describe them." . These massacres, "it is unnecessa ry to describe, seemed to have es- rence, through a man who desires to J establish, on account 01 tueru, a mil itary tyranny. According to this veracious writer, all the murders of Louisiana have been of Republican negroes by Democratic whites. The negroes nave not done any Killing ai all. They have not outraged any white women. They have not stolen anything. None of them have been killed by the whites in self-defense and. for a justifiable cause. They have not murdered one another. This is what we are required to be lieve, and when we believe it we shall most unhesitatingly indorse the truthfulness of 44 Gulliver's Travels" and the 44 Arabian Nights." There has undoubtedly been a good deal of killing in Louisiana, just the same as there has been in Ohio and Massa chusetts. The population is sparse and police protection scanty. To a greater or less extent in the country the people must protect themselves with dogs and guns. A large major ity of the negroes who have been killed have lost their lives while en gaged in predatory theft and robbery. It is well known that no hen roost, pig sty, or dairy in the South has been safe from molestation since the war, and that the robberies have been so numerous and flagrant that often rude and irregular justice to the robbers has been administered through the instrumentality of a vig ilance committee. We do not know that we should put on sackcloth and ashes on that account. If there was a strict and honest investigation there is not the slightest doubt that the immense majority of crimes com mitted in the South are perpetrated by negroes. " The Ohio negroes are among the best in the country, and yet official statistics prove that they have six times the number of State Prison convicts in proportion to their population than the whites have. -Yet we are asked by Mr. Phil. Sheridan to- believe that it is the whites who commit the crimes in Louisiana. Gen. Sheridan instances cases where the. people had asked and compelled the resignation of certain officials in a number of par ishes.! Well, that is what the Dem ocrats of New. York City did when they made Tweed & Co. resign be cause they were ' thieves. ' The peo ple of -the Louisiana parishes had precisely the same reasons. Their officers were either 'thieves or they had not given the bonds required by law for the discharge of their duties. Shall the people of the North lash themselves into a foam on account of this? Sheridan had been in : the South just ten days when he made this fabulous report. What did ..he know of Louisiana affairs? Nothing. He simply . wrote down the state ments of carpet-bag . and negro thieves, accepting them all as genu ine. We want no other ' evidence of the falsity of his. dispatch than the fact that Kellogg," Casey," Packard, Durell and others who had been the authors 'of the "woes' of Louisiana, have not been killed and no attempt, has ever' been made 'against their lives. .If such; a crew of ' thieves sought to fasten themselves upon the people of Massachusetts or Xew York they would not live two hours before the popular uprising it would pro duce. The people of Louisiana have been very forbearing under .the op pressions to which they have been subjected, and are entitled to credit instead of abuse therefor. But even if there were many .actual murders in Louisiana, is that any reason why the United States Government should on account of it, murder popular lib erty? That would be an assassination of far more importance than all other assassinations put together. We un derstand well what, this murder cry in the . South1 means. .' During, the "-Iteign of. Terror' in France r1791-2-3-4 the bloodiest massacres and most numerous x'ekectrti6ns,f wereP always inaugurated mpon the j)lea that the' caped the attcnuo.' 01 tuc press, and to have bet firbt heard of years after their purported occur country was in danger. So, now, when a State Government - is to be subverted and freedom destroyed in this country, it is upon the assump tion that life and liberty are not safe in the South. If they are not, is it not the business of the United States to apply a remedy? It is the fault of the State and local tribunals, and it will be rectified in time. Soldiers cannot prevent murders. Their con tinued presence in the South, as the supporters of thieves, incites crime, rather than represses it. The South ern States that are the most free from civil disorders are the States where there is hot a soldier The "only thing in all this business, the only reason why the South is imposed up on in the way it is, is simply to coerce her votes by the bayonet for the Radical ticket." It must stop. Mule Leadership. A lot of hybrid nondescripts mule men in fact about .Washington. "Professor Langdon," 4 'Fred Doug lass," Src, have sent to Congress a petition, or demand, rather, that that body shall pass the "Civil Rights" bill at once, or the negroes, in their indignation, will do some thing terrible, even vote the Demo cratic ticket perhaps! If, with its victims of a million of the very flow er of the land in bloody graves, this was not the saddest tragedy in all human annalss it would be a farce that the whole world would scream over forever! Think of it! hybrids offspring of the vilest sin possible to either white or negro speaking for the latter! Suppose a mule gets into his mulish brain that he repre sents the asses, and demands of the horses that thoy shall equalize and regulate their paces to suit the form er a thing, if attempted, quite as impracticable and damaging to the hybrid as to both of the others! The darkeys, the real, natural, God-made darkeys, should revolt from this mule leadership, which has all the vices without any of the virtues of either race, and in keeping with i,J?eir sinful and revolting origin are, 'ith the white negroes, and traitors to" their own race, the cause of nearly ai the mischief at the South. N. Y. Don Book, An Alarming- Stgn. The White House despot is getting his toels ready. His satraps and slavish hounds in Congress are preparing to retain power by the boldest revolu tionary means. As we go to press, our Washington correspondent tells us that the Committees of the Senate and House have a bill ready to re port, which restores to the President the rightto supeiid the writ of habeas corpus in any State or portion of a State. The powers of supervisors of elections are to be enlarged, so as to embrace cities as well as towns. Grant's officials are to count all votes and-certify to their correctness, &c. Voters arc to be alloiced to rote outside of their own district, instead of in it, if thejf choose! This is to promote ne gro frauds and repeating. There is a vast deal more of this atrocious character in the bill, all of which is to shackle every anti-administration voter in the whole country. The bill will come rip for action at once. In the name of all that is holy, can this new administration be sprung upon the country, by that miserable despot of the White House, and the echo of the people's thunder of last Novem ber scarcely died away. JV. Y. Day Hook. - The Corvallis Gazette says: Capt. Wilson, of the steamer Gov. Grover, has discovered a new chute about five miles below - Harrisburg, just above Davidson's landing and below Alford's chute. It is a good, deep channel, and perfectly safe and clear with the exception of a few snags at the head. It saves great labor and inconvenience of 4 "lining," as hereto fore. The Grover passed up light and brought down 100 tons without experiencing any difficulty whatever. It has been christened the "Channel Wilson," in honor of the discoverer. The Farmer says: Th'e following resolution was adopted by Oak Point Grange, No. 6, P. of H., at a meet ing held in ITalsey, Saturday, Feb. 20th, 1873: Resolved, That we, as patrons and farmers . of Oak Point Grange, refuse to purchase any ma chinery, wagons or other wares, or merchandise through any agency Or sub-agency where State agents for said machinery, wagons, etc., refuse to sell such to our regularly appoint ed purchasing agents at the. same rate given to merchants throughout the State. The Home Manufacturing Co., of Marion and Linn counties, has final ly disincorporated by a majority vote of the stockholders, which was effec ted at a meeting at Salem, 430 shares of the COO being represented. Two hundred and sixty shares have been paid up, 10 in each share, 170 other shares have paid 2 50 each, and 170 still other share have made no pay ment at all. The expenses incurred amount to over 500, besides Bowie's time spent canvassing. A Pbivter's Malediction . on a Non-Payer.

" I believe they call it the lo comotive," said the little' innocent.: Limberger Cheese. A True Story of a Salinas Ifall, From the San Jose Mercury. "Not any in mine, if you please' said Jim Boggs to our reporter, as they were about to indulge in a friendly glass of Tager at Alex Mul ler's upon! whose well spread lunch table Jim, discovered a fragrant Lim berger. "I rayther soured on cheese, leastwise on Limberger at the ball at Salinas. I never told you about it; did I?" . said Jim. : VWell, it was when they had mud and fog at Salin as, yon bet. , The; rrrud was ' so thin and the fog was so thick that yon couldn't tell which was which. Old Peters had just built his hall and the boys thought it about the square thing to start off with a dance a right nifty one; and when the Salin as boys let themselves out, suthin' had to come. You kin bet yer bow els on that and stand a right smart chance of gettin' a spare set of in'ards "It bothered 'em some to get their boots in shape cause in them days if a fellar walked on his hands his boots would still be three feet under that dobby mud. So they concluded to bring their boots to the old hall alongside the ball-room, and have Pete, the boot black, shine 'em up and then when they got ready the fellars could get 'em there, and into the dance without ary speck. 4 'So eleven of them brought their boots and sent for old Pete and told him to throw hisself, and not mind expenses; and when he got done to put in suthin' .so they could get 'em on without being pounded on with a maul. And then the boys went off and had a sociable little game ef pitch seven-up for the drinks. 4 4Pete blacked the boots clean up to the tops and when he had gone through 'em and stood 'em in a row, you could see twenty-two Petes it looked like the house was full of darkies and then he fixed 'em , so the boys could get 'em on easy, and quit. - 4 4 After Pete had gone, along came that infernal cuss Sam Jones. He took a look at them boots and then scratched his head like he was try in' to think of suthin' and he started for Johnson's store. 4I'd like a little of that old Limberger of yours,' says Sam to the Clerk. 4Like what!' says the clerk. So Sam told him again. 4Not much you won't like it,' said the clerk; 4but you can help your self. It's out in the back yard.' 4 'Sam started for the back yard but the clerk yelled to him to hold on. 44 'You ain't fixed to go after that cheese,' said the clerk. So he gave him a onion to put in his mouth and put a clothes pin on his nose and told him to keep to the wind side of the cheese and not to come back through the store. "It was a mighty heavy job, but Sam got away with the cheese and got back to them boots; and ho jest mashed up the Limberger and put a right smart chunk into each one of them boots and then he went and spilt kerosene and cologne on the floor and burnt two or three old shirts, and he got up such a smndge, you would have thought a 'pothecary shop was afire, and then Sam jest lit out. "The boys come in for their boots about ten o'clock. They was putty well set up and they naturally put it up that the things that Sam had strung around was what was the matter, and then got into them boots and out of the room as quick as they could. 4 'Mighty nifty they looked in the ball-room, and the boys that came in from the ranches had to take a back seat while them shiny fellars waltzed in. "It weren't long before their pard ners began to- look wild like, and their noses got sot up like old wim en's when they go pokin' around the house in the night time, askin every body if they don't smell cotton burn ing; and the fellars would quit and go outside and stand on one foot and twist their necks off tryin' to look at their heels and " ask the Other fellars if they saw; anything on their boots beside the blacking;, and then desir ed to know who some fellar was; and then they'd go back and dance again; and then the rest ; of the chaps went out and looked at their boots . and cussed and eat cloves, and just said what they'd like to do, and they tried to go on with the dance, but it got too hot and the gals wouldn't dance, but sat by the winders and said it was awful; and -one or two fainted "and the chaps got white around the gills and the ball jest busted. Then every fellar made remarks and insin uations against some other chap, and there was five or six fights; and when they got home they . went snuffiin' around the same wa3r and finally con cluded it was in the . atmosphere; and then when they. pulled off them boots it was in the atmosphere so it would well nigh knock a bull down; .and eleven pairs of boots : went out of eleven winders' and eleven of the maddest fellars you ever : see lav awake all night thinking what they'll do in the morning with a shot-gun. . 4 'Next day they found but who got the Limberger,,' but Sam Jones had gone ta Monterey-'.-. He came back in about two weeks and packed a shot gun all the while. . Whenever he came across one of them cheese fel lars he'd' make! him throw up . his hands until he explained it , to him.
