His bright black eyes shone brightly and

The little wanderer three thousand

Public opinion is the great tribunal by

Its favorable verdict long ago stamped Hos

GRANT and Alternative of the age, and the truth
fulness Of that decision is constantly receiv-
ing fresh confederation in the shape ofresults,
the most complete and satisfactory, accom-

fcacy as a remedy for Indigestion, eonsti-

general debility, rheumatism and kidney
disorders pour in irem every quarter; physi-
clans emphatically commend it as a remedy
for most inorganic maladies. and the press in
dOrses the dictum OF the profession. Thus the
popularity of the r~eigning tonic-stimulant of
America is constantly widening, despite the

The Grandest Canyon ON the Con-
tinent.

tAueuts
The most interesting feature of the
summers exploration, in the estimation
of Professor Gannett, is the great can
yon of the Gunnison, whose p~erpendic-
ular walls rise in many places to a hight
of 1000 feet, and for a distance Of fifty
miles will average over 5000 feet. The
course of the river seems to have been
sculptured as. If by drifting rocks, and
along its almost straight course the
white walls, separated only a few yards,
loom up towards the clouds. 1t makes
one almost dizzy to think Of it. Stand
ing at the top of the highest wall and
looking down nearly three-fourths of a
mile, lies the bed of the stream, the
waters swift current dashing and foam
ing through the narrow channels, but so
far down that it can scarcely be seen,
and its roaring never heard. Here is
something that rivals the wonders of the
Yellowstone, and is grander than the
Yosemite.
The point where these great preeipices
begin to loom up is about 100 miles
northwest of the Los Pinos Indian
Agency. The Indians, as far back as
the time Of Fremont's explorations, gave
indications that such wonders existed
well down this slope, beyond the I'm
compahgre Mountains, but the wild
region has been left almost unexplored
to this day, and it is left for Gannett's
party to give the people of this country
the first real knowledge Of the wonder
fnl canyon and its awful precipices.
They have made drawings at some of
the highest points, and taken in the full
topography Of the region; but works
will be weak to convey an adequate idea
Of the sublimity and awful grandeur of
this CanyonEof the Gunnison.
1t seems probable that the stream of
tourists that found their way over the
range into Middle Park this season fer
the first time, to test the virtues of its
famous hot sulphur springs, to angle in
its brooks, and indulge in the pleasures
Of the chase, will another season find
their way into the Uncompahgre Noun.
tains and to this wonderful region.
The greatest depth of the Grand Can.
yon of the Yellowstone is but 1000 feet,
and the average for miles along the
deepest part is not over 600 feet. Clear
Greek Canyon, in Colorado, which Grace
Greenwood, Bayard Taylor and other
travellers have praised as r%ivaling the
Yellowstone, is but little over 1000 feet
at its highest point. Professor Gannett
declares that there is nothing in America
that equals the new wonders OF the Grand
and Gunnison. The white walls, con-
trasting strongly with the others In the
neighborhood, in many places cut and
into curious and fantastic shapes,
spires, towers and ~minarets, standing
out above, add to the startling pictur-
esqueness and awful grandeur of the
scene. Here and there, along the lower
sides of the canyon, may be traced strips
of coloring.
This is due to the mingling waters
from several springs that line the river
banks, iron springs producing the red
%colors, and sulphur springs the yellow.
The river bed is shallow, and the water
clear.-Dr. Hayden

1t seems the strength of the Russo
Asiatic army is hardly proportionate to
what are supposed to be Russia's gigantic
schemes in that quarter. The active
Russian forces in Asia amount to a little
more than eighty Thousand men, and the
whole OF her forces there to hardly one
hundred and ten thousand men. Such
is the immense extent OF her possessions
in that quarter that it would be almost
impossible to unite these troops so as to
operate together. The beginning of a
regular calvary organization has been
made in the twelve Ural Cossack regi-
ments. The little care taken in the or
ganization and arming of the Russo.

COur Manners An Japap.

The Pail Mall Gazette says: Chevalier
Won Schafer, late director Of the Austro-
Hungarian Chancellery in London, has
recently had an audience of the Mikado.
in his new capacity Of Minister Resident
in Japan, and the Vienna Abendpost
gives an amusing account of the pro.
~ceedings on this occasion. The Japan
csc Court has, it appears, under the in
duenee Of European civilization, aban-
doned all the Oriental magnifcence
which formerly characterized the reeep-
ton of a foreign ambassador, and the
ceremony is now marked by a simplicity
even greater than that which prevails in
many European courts. The Minister
MS suite were conveyed in Carriages,
out without any military escort, to the
palace, which was guarded by only two
sentlneis, who presented arms on their
arrival. TN entering the palace. six
chamberlains in black dress coats usher
ed them into the waiting-room. which
was furnished in the European style,
with a black marble mantlepiece. sur.
mounted by a lo~oking-glass in a plain
frame, chairs and tables, and a Brussels
carpet. The Lord Chamberlain and the
Vice-Minister then led Herr Won Schafer
into the audience chamber-a large hall
divided into three partitions BIZ two
parallel glass walls. The Mikado. a
somewhat tall, slim young man, looking
older than his age, and clad in a rich
uniform similar to that Of a French field,
marshal, stood in the center compart-
ment, in front Of a plain armchair
which apparently did service tor a throne.
He received the deputation g~raciously,
gently rubbing his hands and smiling
whenever a particularly well turned COM
pliment was addressed to him by the
Minister in the course of his speech. The
Mikado read his reply, which was much
the same as that Of a European monarch
would have been under similar circum-
stances, and then dismissed his visitors
with "a gracious nod" Shortly after the
Minister was admitted to an audience Of
the Empress. She stood in the same
partition as the Mikado had previously
occupied, and leaned against the same
armchair. The Mikado, however, was
alone, while the Empress was sccompa.
MED by three of her ladies Of honor, who
stood with a paper umbrella in the parti-
ton on her left. She was dressed in wide
trousers Of deep red silk, which entirely
covered her feet, an upper dress of the
same stuff, and a white silk underdress,
with wide sleeves reaching almost to the
ground. On her shoulders was a violet
mantle, embroidered with flowers in gold,
and a broad red sash was folded several
times round her body. Her hair was
combed upwards over a very high pad,
whence it hung down on her back, and
she wore on her head a magnificent dia-
dem worked in gold and silver, represen-
ing cranes carrying flowers. She held in
her hand a huge fan covered with gold
brocade stuff. The Empress expressed
much interest in the hunting expeditions
Of the Empress of Austria, the Japanese
being also addicted to the pleasures of
the chase.

Russia does not intend to begin conquest
here just yet. Her real strength, how
ever, hes in her Caucasian army, which
comprises some of the finest and best
armed troops Of the Russian army, and
would be sufficient, in case Of a war with
Turkey or Persia to put down any force
which these powers could bring into the
field, Indeed, in the event Of these be.
ing Joined with the available troops of
the Russo-Asiatic army in warfare
against England in this quarter, the
struggle would be most serious and of

less, and much depends on tho judiciols
choice of a remedy. The amount of testi-
mony in favor Of Dr.. Schenck's Pulmonio
Syrup, as a cure for consumption, far exceeds
all that can be brought to support the preten-
sions of any other medicine. See DR..
Schenck's Almanac, containing tie certif-
Gates of many persons Of the highest respeeta-
bility, who have been restored to hea tn, after
being pronounced incurable by physicians of
acknowledged ability. schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many, as these evil
dences will show; but the cure is often pro-
NOTED by the employment of two other RENEE
dies which Br, Schenck provides for the puy-
pose. These additional remedies are Schenok's
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills By the
