THE MARvELs OF THE WESTERN WORLD.
From this manifestation OF the growing manhood
of the West the Emperor passed to the exhibition
OF nature its most magnificent and inconceivable
forms, shown by the collection OF steresscopic
views OF Niagara Falls and California scenery by
Charles Bierstadt, OF Niagara Thomas Houseworth,
OF san Francisco, and the American Geographical
Society. The Emperor for some moments looked at
the foamng whirl of Niagara's waters as caught by
the invisible and delicate agency of the sun, and
then at the mild beauty Of watkins Glen, the Yo
semitic. with its towering rocks; the Bridal Veil,
the little misty stream that begins river and
before reaching the ground, breaks into spray;
the snowy crested Sierra Nevada; the long line OF
broken, tumbllng peaks; the shining waters In the
valleys the calm surface Of Lake Tahoe, bluer than
the bluest tint in the armament and ex-
ceiling in Its beauty and repose oil that
has been written OF Lake Leman. There was burned
Chicago that attracted his eye, but the sad scene
evidently gave him no pleasure, for he continued
to study the marvellous forms Of natural beauty
from California and the West-notably an album
opened by Mr. Garretson containing views OF the
Yellowstone and the Sioux country. His Majesty
and Count Belegarde slowly looked from print to
print, as the extraordinary manifestations OF the
Yellowstone region were explained-the foun-
tans lowing mud, the geysers, the constant
streams of boiling water leaping high In the air
the porcelain fountains and those that send out
forever and ever the many coored clays; the mud
craters, and burning stones and earths craters OF
extinct vOlcanOes-a the marvels Of that new and
mysterious region, and the figures OF the savage
man and woman who still hold sway there. "This Is
very wonderful" said the Emperor. Then turning
TO Mr.. Reck, he said, "One must 60 q long way to
find these Indians must you not2' "Oh, no." was
the response; 1--WE find them just beyond the

people that they have decreased to great extent,

Ito give trouble. but not to interfere with the
growth and settlement OF the country" The stern,
stolid, stocal faces of Red Cloud and Spotted Tail
and their companion chiefs were studied by His
Majesty for a moment, and quietly smiling he
closed the book, making remark to his aide
respecting the strange, weird appearance OF these
brother monarchs OF the West. From here he
passed to the right and stood before one exhibition
where America makes one of the most credltabe
displays Of her industry in the shape Of the collec
tion of Autographs.
CHROMO.LITHOGRAPHY.
The houses which contribute these collections
are L. Prang Co., OF Boston, Mass, who have the
largest and most striking exhibits Duval Il Hun
ter, Of Philadelphia, Pa. His Majesty looked for
some time at L. Moran's picture, "Launching the
Lie Boat" and asked some questions as to the
part Of the country represented by the painter;
and then studied closely the representation of
California scenery The interest shown

of the very few displays worthy OF our country
Our friends will be glad to know that His Majesty
complimented the pictures, and one OF his suite
SAID "that country had shown more progress In
chromolithography than America" America
makes no show at all in the department OF paint
ings that compares with these printed copies; and
whatever reputation the country may have for ar
tisc knowledge is saved by the exhibitors Of chro

what might be called the desert exhibition of
American industry and science, and your corre-

Leaving the chromos, His Majesty passed to the

tinted phases OF American credit which have come
into life in the last ten sad, eventful years. His
Majesty was much interested in these phenomena
OF currency and credit, and asked now and then
an explanation of the value Of the notes in his own
Austrian money, ut is very beautiful-very beau.

ambitions, the yearnings for appreciation and noto-
riety, the odd, incessant efforts to win medals OF
progress and renown and merit and honor, which
inspire the gentlemen who manage this industry
have given constant motion and life to the Ameri-
