THE EVENING NEWS.

work by \. u. hiSHa'uSO"i
known to many of our people, having
for some time been Il resident OF Colora-
do. As its title indicates, it is devoted
10 the broad Country west Of the Missis-
s;ppi. but a careful examination shows
tina, i. is mostly devoted to Kansas, Col
orado, Montana, Idaho and Nevada. It
is printed in beautiful clear type, aud is
illustrated with upwards Of two hundred
beautiful and truthful engravings,
which alone are worth the price of the
book. They embrace Bierstadt's best
productions, and give such q view OF
frontier life as eastern people can an
derstand in no other way. Its pen pic
lures are however its chief attractions.
No writer is more graphic or truthful in
his representations than he. His de-
scriptions of frontier life are both anus
ing and instructive. Speaking Of the
early settlement Of Colorado and the
emigration in this direction, he writesin
his Journal: "Six weeks ago not a track
had been made on this road. Now it
resembles a long used turnpike. We
me, many returned emigrants who de-
clared the mines a humbug, but passed
hundreds of undismayed gold seekers
still pressing on" lone Ohio wagon
bears the inscription Root hog or die.
A passenger in one of the returning
coaches states that further on he en-
couutered u philosophical emigrsnt
whose wagon was labeled Pixies Peak
or Bust '0ue after another the travel
er's cattle died, till only Il COW and an
OK were left. Upon n luckless night
these either strsyed away or were stolen
by Indians. The next day my inform
ant found this prairie Micswber sitting
upon his wagon tongue, smoking his
pipe, and waiting for something TO turn
up. But under the first inscription he
has penciled with charcoal, Busted by
thunder" His descriptions Of court
scenes are intensely exciting and rscy.
Reading his book is like listening 10 q
we'll told rale. one wants 20 do moth
ing else till he knows the whole. It
will soon be for sale at B1gle's.

Judging of his chronological character
istics and taken in connection with his
p~hysiognomy, We should judge him TO

LEG BRoxES.-John Code, a teamste
engaged in hauling lumber, yesterday
had mis- leg broken while unloading his
q az Browns lumber yard, on
North B street, above Carson, Virginia.
It appears that he was lifting a very
wide board, when there came n very
strong and sudden gust Of wind, caus-
ing him to s,agger backward over the
edge of the wagon. He fell in such a
position that his LETT leg caught IN the
wheel and under the edge OF some OF
the planks OF the load, breaking both
bones of the leg about four inches be-
low the knee. He was 50 caught that
he hung head down, unable TO eItricaie
himself. His cries, however, soon
brought assistance, when he was taken
TO the house of Mr.. McAvory, in the
vicinity, and medical assistance pro-
cured. DR. Green being called in, the
broken bones were set, and the patient
at last accounts was as comfortable as
could be expected under the cireum-
stances.
