Illustrated. Houghton, Mifflin A Cos., Boston: Merrill, Meigs Cos., Indianapolis. Price, $7.50. It is hardly possible that among all the elegant gift books of the year any will equal this in artistlo elegance in every detail. Bound with silken cords and gilt edges all around, it is a unique piece of the book-binder’s art. The heavy creamy paper used affords fine chance lor letter-press work to reveal Its best work, and this has been done. The engravings are the best that could be had, the subjects being copied from originals so far as accessible, and the entire work is a fitting frame for Longfellow’s dignified verse. While the price is nigh, tiie uniform excellence and cleganoe of the volume will make It popular among lovers of the beautiful. A History of Ancient Scttltture. By Lucy M. Mitcnoll. Dodd, Mead & Cos., New York; Bowen, Btewart & Cos , Indianapolis. Price, $2 50. A formidable and handsome volume, treating on a subject of renewed interest to students and lovers of art. The great difficulty of collecting and arranging materials for a work on ancient scupture may easily bo imagined, as the remaining specimens of ancient sculpture are scattered all over the world in various museums and private collections. The author lias admirable succeeded in grouping the various epochs and has prepared a book t hat will find place among the recognized authorities. The text is embellished with numerous illustrations and six plates In phototype. Bingkn on the Rhine. By Caroline E. 8. Norton. Philadelphia, Porter & Coates; Indianapolis. Merrill. Meigs & Cos. Tins is the old, familiar poetu, put into elegant holiday attire, with twenty-three illustrations, by such artists as Smedley, Schell, Fredericks, Perkins, Woodward and Lovett. The typographical work is beyond praise, and the volume is a thing of beauty and a jiy forever, us the poem is one of the sweetest ever sung, aud bus won its way iuto standard lyrics. Prang’s Christmas Cards, Messrs. L. Prang & Cos., of Boston, have again placed the press under obligations Tor specimens of their unequaled Christmas and New Year’s cards. To say that this house publishes the finest cards of the kiud in the world is but to repeat w liat Is believed by every American. But this oclief is not confined to America. The press of England. Australia, Germany aud Austria is forced to admit that the American productions in this line are the best yet produced anywhere, which fact should l>e a source of pride to Americans. The following complimentary notice from the London Queen is in consonance with ninny others made by the press of Europe: “Sorry as we are for the honor of the old country to confess it, bnt proud as we are for the honor of the young daughter over the sea to acknowledge ir, we do acknowledge that, for artistic conception and imaginative rendering, added to beauty of execution, the cards or Messrs. Prang, of Boston, distance every other,” The cards and prepared souvenirs issued by this house for the approaching holidays are rich beyond all that have hitherto been published. It is impossible to particularize. They must be seen to be appreciated. Magazines. The English Illustrated Magazine for December (Maemillaa A Cos.), while not rivaling the Century or Harper’s, is very artistic and very pretty. It presents an Illustrated article on Luther, one on etching, and one on corn cockles. The cutß are well executed, ar.d this publication, being cheaper than the more pretentious monthlies, will certainly vrln favor among the people. The American Naturalist (McCalla <fe Stavely, Philadelphia), for December, contains a numbei of excellent papers on various subjects, besides three full-page engravings of the Yellowstone gey sera. Professor John M. Courier, of Wubasb College, has a paper on the development of the dandelion flower, illustrated. The second issue of the Key-note, the new musical weekly, has been Issued. The purpose of the Key-note is to furnish tlio public with all desirable dramatic and musical news promptly hkl in reliable shape. It is published by John J. King, 38 East Fourteenth street, New York. The Scandinavia (2G North Clark street, Chicago) for December, contains an interesting and valuable paper on “The Scandinavians in the late elections,” with especial reference to Minnesota. The last number of the Continent contains an illustrated article on the true mission of art schools. It will be read with interest. Our Modern Helen. Brooklyn Eagle. It is estimated that at the time of her elopement with Paris, son of Priam, king of Troy, the fair but frail Mrs. Menelaus was approaching her seventieth year, though history is not as accurate as it might be on this subject. At all events she was about eighty when she joined Andromache at the wake over Hector. One is forcibly reminded of this epic legend by the newspaper announcement that still another lady, wile of an actor, has sued for divorce from her husband upon the ground that he had fallen a victim to the fascinations of that desperate stage beauty and heart-breaker, Mrs. Alice Oates. Since the decease of the late James A. Oates, and tiie disappearance of Tracy Titus, his suecessor-in-chief, there appears to have been no person more capable of playing the part of Helen than this entrancing creature. McDonald Speaks for Carlisle. Chicago Tribune. Mr. McDonald, of Indiana, says for his friend, Mr. Carlisle, of Kentucky, that he favors a “tariff for revenue with incidental protection” and is for “maintaining the tax on whisky and tobacco, for the present.” This is the most authoritative expression in reference to Mr. Carlisle’s programme yet given to the public. Highest. Phase of American Art. Chicago News. Lotta has made her appearance in London, and between her and Minnie Palmer the British dudes are rapidly becoming acquainted with the highest phase of American art, which, as well-informed Amerioans know, is striped all the way up and is fastened above the knee by either a garter or a suspender. • He Won’t Puss Muster.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THLRSDAY, DECEMBER (i, 1883.

IjETTEUS to the editor. Blaine*. Plan with the Snrptn,. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal; We have tbe surplus cow. We must abolish the tax on whisky or divide it among the States, and I say continue that tax, and divide as already stated. This “plan” would be a marvel in history and unprecedented in finances. If the Republicans in their financial policy should make a permanent payment of State taxes a success, it would almost equal the emancipation act of Lincoln. One emancipated slaves, the other would emancipate from the slavery of grinding taxes. A central government so wise and just would be like a mother to the States, and do much to take the poisoned fang from the doctrine of “State rights.” History shows that onerous and burdensome taxes have oppressed all nations, while with us the largest liberty and tiie lightest taxes would make us a model for ail nations to admire. I call upon every man who wants whisky to foot the bill of crime and misery it causes, to oppose the repeal of the whisky and beer tax. I call on every man who wants the United States to pav his State tax to tavor the “Blaine plan,” be he Republican, Democrat or Green backer. The Republican party has always had the courage to live and act up to its convictions of duty. I do not ask that grand bishiric party to adopt the "Blaine plan” because it would be popular, and appeal to every tax-payer’s pocket, but because it is just and right to tax whisky and beer as well as other property, and supremely wise to use the surplus to pay the State tix of all American citizens. Let the “Blaine plan” be adopted. It would he anew independence from taxation, and sound like a jubilee trumpet across the union. The present is an auspicious time for this new departure in finances. We do not impose anew tax, or create the surplus. There is great danger that the Democratic party would repeal that tax. at the dictation of the whisky men who to-day domineer over it The reappearance of the bloody shirt in Virginia and Mississippi; the election of a man as Speaker who said in 1876, “Idenv that the United States is a nation. It is a vicious system that has destroyed sovereign States and oppressed 9,000,000 of people in the South,” shows all too plainly that a solid South will attempt once more to dragoon the nation. A free-trader in the chair is a menace to business and laboring men. But State rights, bloody shirts, free trade and rebel brigadiers cannot elect a President. With the “Blaine plan,” saving elect the Republican President and we will pay your State taxes, and the fires of liberty kindled anew by a solid South, who can doubt our triumph in 1884. I), C. Chipman. Anderson, Ind. Churches and Charity Organizations. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: “A charitable heathen” will take care of himself when the solicitors for the charity organizations come round; but he will not De found by the saloon committee, let it be said. I have no objection to taking all the saloon money for the charity organization that can be obtained; but I do object to the society longer wearing the church robe. That it does wear ft is patent. Acts speak louder than words. Its executive officers are churchmen specially, and it holds its anniversary meetings on Sunday night and invites churches to abandon their regular services to unite in its work, while its public performances are all arranged upon the church basis. Let it be understood to be entirely a secular institution, and then it can properly appeal to all classes for support, saloons as well as Christians. That Hbathen. What Constitutes Judicious Farming? Germantown Telegraph. Some years ago we heard a farmer who had become rich at the business remark in a conversation on what might be called good or judicious farming, that the “test of good farming is that every successive crop is better than the one that preceded it.” To obtain such *n evidence of skillful tillage, however, for a large series of years, wonld of course be an impossibility, but to keep the soil in such a state of fertility as to insure a full and remunerative yield when favored by the season, is an evidence of intelligent farming of by no means common occurrence. We have no fear of the ultimate prosDerity of the agriculturist who secures this encouraging result of his labors. We have seen extensive and highly cultivated farms by subsequent injudicious cultivation degenerate into barrenness, and we have not many miles to so to see the once sterile sand plains of Jersey, by systematic tillage, liberally rewarding the proper labors of the husbandman. Land there that was formerly covered with rank grasses, huckleberry bushes and stunted pines now yields in an abundance the choicest varieties of grapes, pears, cherries and apples, and all the fiekl-crops that can be profitably grown in the adjacent States. Good tillage having developed the true character of this once comparatively unproductive soil has in many localities enhanced its pecuniary value, and there are plenty of instances where a quarter of a cent nay ago land that could not be sold for $5 an acre would not now he disposed of for SIOO an acre. Thus, as the value of the soil of New Jersey for agricultural purposes becomes disclosed, the quantity and worth of her grain, fruit and vegetable products steadily increases, and will continue td do so. And all this is the result of what we simply call judicious farming, and it answers the question which is asked at the start, Kartholtli’. Statue. New York Life. “You must really excuse the expression of disdain I wear. I really cannot help it, and after you have set me up on Bedlam’s island I will try and forget your meanness.”—Liberty. How to Fight Polygamy. Cleveland lleruld. "Fighting polygamy with words” doesn’t suit either the Boston Advertiser or anybody else. Put an “s” before the “words” aud you iiave the weapons that will tell. It has been a common opinion that the horn of a steer or heifer gave indications of the age of the animal, but this is now denied by Dr. Btewart, of New York,who states that at no time is such evidence to be relied upon.
