On motion of Mr. Dunham, the rules were suspended and the bill to incorporate the Ladies' Memorial Association of Washington, was ta ken up and passed its several read ings. Reports of Standing Committees. Reports from Standing Commit tees were submitted by Messrs. Dunham, from Engrossed bills, and Avera, from Enrolled bills. Introductions of Resolutions. By Mr. Avera : Whereas, our worthy President is now upon the threshold of three score years and ten, and whereas delays are dangerous ; therefore Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that our bachelor Presi dent should leave some representa tive to perpetuate his name, and af . ter listening so attentively to the able lecture of Dr. Edwards on the subject of a wife, he should not re main longer in a state of single bles- 'sedness. Resolved further. Thai our Presi- dent should select a wife possessing t in addition to other charms plenty of poetical geaias. The President ruled the resolution out of order, as being decidedly per sonal in its nature. Mr. Seymour was of the opinion, that the resolution was eminently proper inasmuch as the Senate jour nal of 1863 reported the President as voting- alone against a bill to form "a limited copartnership," etc., etc. There being no other business be fore the Senate, Mr. Seymour moved that the Senate now adjourn till the 12th of January. Lt. Governor Brogden, after put ting the vote, said : Senators : As we are now about to separate as a legislative body un til after the Christmas holidays, it only remains for me to wish you the enjoyment of good health and a happy . Christmas at home with, your fMiiilies and friends. Christ mas is sal to be the day. of the na tivity of oiitKavior, and therefore its annual return ia-singularly wel comed as a day of unusual joy and happiness. It is a day miiowed by our traditions on account tf that most glorious and wonderful evont when the morning stars sang to getner aim uie cxuiuien ui vuv . shouted for joy In the temperate and delightful . cltaiajte about 1873 years ago, according to our computation ot time, while the snepneras were keeping watch over their flocks by night, the angel of the .Lord shone round about them, and said unto them, "fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all peo ple and suddenly there appeared a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, "On earth peace, good will toward men." It seems to be peculiary appro priate at this eventful season, when the fruits and products of the earth have hgen garnered, t cultivate and cherish a spirit of friendship, good wilLand charity for all. Let us forgive and forget the un worthy bickerings of the past, and indulge and cherish patriotic and laudable hopes and aspirations for the common good of our common mr v v . a m - Your legislative acts. Senators. may be somewhat likened to the parable of the sower, who went out to sow seed ; and some fell by tho way side, and were devoured by the fowls of the air; some fell on stony ground, and were scorched by the sun, and withered away; some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them, and they yielded no fruit. But the seed which fell on good ground, sprang up and increased and brought fourth abundantly. So may it be with your legislation. Senators, I again wish you a safe return to your respective homes. This Senate stands adjourned un til 12 o'clock on the 12th day of Jan uary next. house of representatives. The House was called to order at ihson in the Chair. The reading of the Journal of Saturday was, on motion of Mr. Jones of Caldwell, postponed until the 12th of January, 1874. Mr. Gilbert, from the Committee on Enrolled Bills, submitted a re port. A message was received from the Senate announcing the concurrence ofthat body in the House amend ments t the bill to -amend chapter ?m 1 Gentlemen of the House of Repre sentatives: The hour for our tem porary separation has arrived. I desire to express my appreciation of the kindness you have again sflown me as your presiding officer, :ana the aid afforded me in the dis patch of public business. I hope, gentlemen, you may have a safe trip to your respective homes where you will find comfort and happiness during the approaching holidays, and to find ou promptlv in your places in this House on the 12th of January next. ; Under the joint resolutions of the two Houses of this General Assem bly, I declare the House of Repre sentatives adjourned until January 12th, 1874.

An Illustrated Journal, Universally Admitted to be the Handsomest Periodical in the Word. lA Representative and Cham- pion of American Taste. Not for sale in Book or News Stores. THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regularity, has none of the tem porary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It is an ele gant miscellany ot pure, light and grace ful literature; and a collection of pic tures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black and whit. Although each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of The Aldine will be most appreciated after it has bten bound: up at the close of the year.ifeWhile other publications may claim sJSperior cheap? - - 1 Ml i r ness, as coniparea wun Rivals oi a sim ilar class, The Aldine is a unique aiK original conception alone ana unap proached absolutely without compe tition in price or character.

Art Department, 18!T4. The illustrations of The Atdine have won a world-wide reputation, and in the art centres of Europe; it is an ad mitted fact that its woodcuts are exam ples of the highest perfection ever at tained. The common prejudice in favor of "steel plates," is rapidly yielding to a more educated and discriminating taste which recognizes the advantages of superior artistic quality witfc, greater facility of production. The wood cufl of The Aldine possess all the delicacy and elaborate finish the most costly steel plate, while they afford a better rendering of the artist's origin ah ."V ,T fully realize the wonderfal work which The Aldine is doing for the cause of art culture in America, it is only necessary to consider the cost to thej people or any otuer aecent representa tions of the productions of great pain ters. 1 .'','' In addition to , designs by the mem bers of the National Academy, and other noted American artists, The AI-. dine will reproduce examples of the best foreign masters, selected . with a view to the highest artistic success and greatest general interest'. Thus the subscriber to The Aldine will, at. a trilling cost, enjoyih his own home the pleasures and refining iniluences of true art. N The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will be by Thos. Moran and J. D. Wood ward J- r The Christmas issue for 1874 will con tain special designs appropriate to the season, by our best artists, and will surpass in attractions any of its prede cessors. . : Premium for IS 74. me year xs4 wiu ; reive a- pair o chromos. The original pvoturea were painted in oil for the publishers of The Aldine,hj Thomas Moran, whose great Colorado picture was purchased by Congress for ten thousand dollars. The subjects were chosen to represent "The East" and "The West." One is a view in The W hite Mountains, New Hamp shire: the other srives The Cliffs of Green. River, Wyoming Territory. The difference in the nature of the scenes themselves is a pleasing contrast, and affords a good display of the artist's scope and coloring. The chromos are each worked it om thirty distinct plates, and rre in size (izxibj ana appearance exact fac-similes of the originals. The nresention of a worthy example of America's greatest landscape painter to the subscribers oi The Aiaine was a bold but peculiarly happy idea, and its successful realization is attested by the, following testimonial, over the signa ture of Mr. Moran himself. Newark, N. J., Sept. 20th, 1863 Messrs. James Sutton & Co. Gentlemen I am delighted with the proofs in color of your chromos. They are wonderfully successful representa tions by mechanical process of the original paintings. Very respectfully, Signed,) Tuos. Mora. These chromos are in every sense American. They are by an original American process, with material of American manufacture, from designs of American scenery by an American painter, and presented to subscribers to the first successful American Art J onr nal. If no better because of all this, they will certainly possess an interest no foreign production can inspire, and neither are they- any the worse if by reason, of peculiar facilities of produc tion they cost the publishers only a trifle, while equal in every respect to other chromos that are sold singly for double the subscription price of The Aldine. Persons of taste will prize these pictures for thanselves not for the price they did or did not cost, and will appreciate the enterprise that ren ders ther distribution possible.
