emigration, and a strikingly original and
popular humoFist.

the mysteries and narvels of the bound
less West-thas wild region so much
talked about, yet so little understood,
whose growth and development seem like
tale of Eastern magic. 1t is superbly
illustrated, containing no less than fifty

enterprising publishers assure us) at
