DON'T Do IT.-" As mad as a March hare," is a familiar and well known proverb, but from recent events we are inclined to think that a new read ing would be appropriate, and that the old saw should be arranged to read " as mad as an editor." During time last month a Virginia journalist received a cowhiding, a New Jersey editor was the recepient of an ounce of lead in his cranium, in Mississippi and actor fought a duel with a quill driver, and sent him i' to that bourne from whence no traveller returns," and at West Poimnt, in the same State, two editors had a little difference of opinion, which resulted in sending (per pistols and lead) one of the par ties " where the woodbine twineth." And, to cap the climax, Storey, of the Chicago Times, was said to have car ried out his name and was sent to jail for ten days. These are only the few cases heard of, there is no telling lhow many more injuries have been inflicted upon the talented and able ink-slingers of this great and glorious country, And yet there are fond fathers and doting mothers who en courage their sels to become editors.

It wasstatte dsad continued the first year as a monthly, then, to satisfy the demand of the public, it was changed to a fortnightly. Still e8 ntiuing its good work of hitting folly as it flies, an howing up the political ld social shamas by its masterly cartoons and pungent editorials, it achieved even greiter success than before, and was recognised as the ablest and brightest of its class. Since then we have yielded still farther to the public demand, and now publish WILD Oils weekly! It has literally grown into its present shape on its intrinsic merits, being the first successful weekly humorous paper ever published in this country.

THE ALDINE, The Art Journal of America, ISSUEJD MONTHLY. "A Magnificent Conception, wonderfully carried out." J The necessity of a popular medium four r- the representation of the productions of our great artists, has always been recognized, W and many attempts have been made to lumeet the want. The successive failures which so 11, invariably followed each attempt in this 'n country to establish an art journal, did not prove the indtlifference of the people of Amer - ica to the claims of high art. 0o soon as a s; proper appreciation of the want and an s abihity to meet it were shown, the public at T once rallied with enthusiasm to its support, in and the result was a great artistic and com ie mercial triumph-the ALDIVAE'. s5 The A LDI)E, while issued with all the 1e regularity, has none of the temporary or A timely interested characteristic of erdinary po eriodicals. It is an elegant mtiscellany of a pure, light, and graceful literature; and a d collection of pictures, the rarest specimens o- of artistic skill, in black and white, Although er each succeeding number affords a fresh " pleasure to its friends. the real value and beauty of the A LDINE will be most appre t ciatcd flfter it is bound up at the closeof the i- year. While other publications nay claim superior cheapness, as compared with rivals ot a similar class, the ALDINE is a unique 4" and original conception-alone and unap e proachcd-absulutely without competition u in price or character. The possessor oif a .) complete volume can not deplicate the quantity of fine paper and engravings in 1- any other shape or number of volumes for 1- ten times its cost ; and thien, there is UIe ehro d mo, besides ! .o The national feature of the ALDINE - must be taken in no narrow sense. True art is cosmopolitan. While the ALDINE is a strictly American institution, it does not confine itself entirely to the reproduction of - native art. Its mission is to cultivate a it broad and appreciative art taste, one that y will discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic g merit. Thus, while placing before the pat rons of the ALDIV., as a leading charac teristic, the productions of the most noted Americap artists, attention will always be r, given to Specimens from foreign masters, giving subscribers all the pleasure and in s struction obtaipnble from home or foreign sources. e The artjstic illustration of American º- scenery, original with the ALDINE, is an important feature, and its magnificent plates n are of a size more applropriate to the satie ft.tory treatment of details then can be Safforded by any ipferior page. The judicious interspersion of laidaseape, marine, figure, and aniual subjects, smutain an unabsted interest, impossible where the scope of the work contines the artist too closely to a sin gle style of subjee,. The literature of the ALDi.VE is a light and gracefla accompan *iment, worthy of the artistic features, with only such technical disqiuisitions as do not P interfere with the popular interest of the work. Premium For 1875. Every suoseriber for 1875 will receive a t beautiful portrait, in oil colors, of the same noble dog whose picture in a former issue t attracted so mucen attention. " Man's Unselflsh Friend" I will be welcome in every home. Everybody loves such a dtog, and the portrait is execu tedt so true to the life, that it seems the ver 1tiable presence of the animal itself. The Rev. T. De Witt Taluage tells that his own Newfoundland dog (the finest in Brooklyn) r barks at it ! Although so natural, no one who sees this preiinum chromo will have the slightest fear of being bitten. Besides the chromo. every advance sub scriber to the A LDLVE for 1875 is constitu ted a member, and entitled to all the priv ileges of The Aldine Art Unioa.
