To Kansas and Colorado !

During the summer season of 1873, the
Missouri Pacific Railroad will sell EX-
curSion Ticke;s from st. Louis to Denver
and return, at very low rates OF. fare, and
a rare opportunity is thereby otfered, for
lovers of nature to view the beauties Of
Colorado aud enjoy the delightful scenery
and health-inspiring climate of the Parks
ofthe Rocky Mountains.
Kansas, with its broad and fertile plains
is directly on the route, and together
with all the other Western States and
Territories, is reached by the Missouri
Pacific Railroad and its connections.
The Texas connection of this rond
is now completed, and passengers are
offered a first class all rail route from St.
Louis to Texas, either over the Missouri,
Kansas & TexasR Il. r., via Sedalia, or
over the Atlantic u Pacific Il. r., via
Vinita, For maps, time tables, infOrma-

We present our readers this week Il
fine and correct picture Of the new build
which The Now York '1'fjtupe is how
erecting, and which, when completed, Will
be by tar the largest and bet equipped
newspaper office in the world. The Iri.
5Une was never better Ror more prosper
Gus than at the present time, and its new
building is only one Of MGny substantial
proofs Of its steady growth AID success.
During the last Summer The I'riluR,
has made itself tho freshest. uewsiest, and
most interesting paper in New York, hay
ing several times anticipated all its rivals
in the publication of important news and
actually be2ten the G crumcnt itself in
the intelligence Of Clusters victories over
the Sioux in Montana. So with the de-.
tails Of the escape of tbe Foiaris survivors
from the wreck Of that vessel in the Are
tic Ocean The Trijune published by
far the fullest and most graphic account,
telegraphed by cable from Dundee--a
reminder Of its great achievements in the
days of the Franco. Prus4ian war. The
1riJ,me also did the public real service,
this summer, by sending a competent and
discerning correspondent through the
Western States, to see and study the
farmers movement, mud he has given in
series Of letters the only complete and
intelligent statement yet published in the
East Of this great uprising The letters,
our readers will be glad to know, will
soon appear in complete from in enc of
thosG extra Sheets" which The IriJuRe
origi mated last Winter, and which have
proved remarkably popular and success
fUl, The duSen or more Triaaac extra

stitute a library Of the highest value, to
which additions will be regularly made
during the els ing year. Although con
stantIy making improvements and extend

as to bring the paper within the reach of
