TOURISTS SEASON AT THE LAKE.
OF course Hank Monk is to be the chief en-
gineer of the stage line, A trip to the Lake
under any other driver administration would
be simply the play of Hamlet with the part of
Hamlet left out Monk is to the Benton
Stage line what Beecher is to Plymouth
Church; what Brigham Young is to the Nor
mons; what Barnum is to the show business;
what the Seal Rock is to the Cliff House;
what the perfume is to the rose, and what
Boxers Bitters is to cocktail. The well
regulated mind of the tourist would as soon
eat an egg without salt as to go to the Lake
under anybody elses convoy than Hank
Monks. As to the navigation of the Lake it
was never before SO well provided for. The
new steamer Niagara is something unprece
dented in the way of passenger boats. Her
commodious, fast and elegant in all respects
She has been overhauled from stem to stern
and put in ship-shape and Bristol fashion.
Among other attractions, Capn Avery Is 60

body who wants to dance can dance until he
is tired, This musical feature is to be sup
piled by the celebrated De Vail band-the
father and sons of that name taking the lead

the swallows homeward fly, Owe don't give
bread with one tish-ball, and kindred sug-

in the most agreeable, regular, satisfactory
and expeditions manner possible A word to
the wise ought to be enough 1t is not at
all the intent province of these n. S and
Q's to dabble in the misty mid region of
dust and doubt and perplexity which sur
rounds the Eastern question yet it is but
fair and honest to state that this Office is in
receipt Of
A WAR MAP
Which is far more satisfactory than any other
We have seen since the outbreak of the
troubles between the Muscovjte and the
Moslem. Messrs. Thompson and West of
Oakland, California have produced this map.
1t is handsome, of convenient size and con-
tains more exhaustive names exhaustive the
alphabet and the powers of pronunciation {
than all the maps we have ever seen. 1t
makes one wish, i'll the interest of purer
and simpler photography, that every town {
and village and county and polling place on
all sides of all the CULTS and seas and rivers
and bays thereabout might be rubbed out by
the war, in order that a new directory might
be possible We shall hang it up, gratefully
hard by the sanctum sanctorum as rebuke
TO lesser and meaner maps-which grow with r
an alarming abundance these sad days. ..
We observe with a sense Of admiration which i
resembles envy as the mist resembles the
