Really an Elegant Thing.

Ths new Rocky Mountain Tourist, just from
t he press, is indeed az artistic gem. In point
of engravipgs, printing and descriptive, it is,
beyond all question, the handsomest publica-
ton OF the character ever issued in the United
States. There are in this work no less than
sixteen Of Thomas Moran's exquisite draw
ings, and among them his famous reproduce
tion OF the Mount OF the Holy Cross. or Mo-
rams other matchess drawings are those OF
Grand, Glsn, Marble, Krabb and Boulder
Canyons, Twin Lakes, Teocali Mountain, etc.
Joseph Beard is represented by charac, eristIc
hunting sketches; Lancelot by spirited draw
ings OF the remarkable rock-scupture on
White River, and Henry Worral by fun pake
views at Yeta Pass and Wagon Wheel Gap,
as well as large number OF other very finely
executed sketches in different portions OF the
western country, The engrsvings are for the
most part large, the full quarto pages OF the
Tourist, enabling the showing to the finest
advantage OF plates seven by ten inches The
book comprises sixty -toar pages, exclusive OF
the cover, and printed as 1t is upon SUPERSEDED
and calendered paper Of the richest finish the
effect throughout is superb. While very
model Of typographical beauty, the Tourist is
none the less practical in ifs range of inform
alton, time, distances, railroad and stage fares.
hotel and livery rates being with uniform ac-
curacy and in so easy and pleasing a manner
as TO entirely relieve the work OF everything
approaching the tedious detail OF the average
guide book. Containing no advertisements
Of whatever character, the new Rocky Noun
tain Tourist is fit companion to Picturesque
America in any gentlenan's library. spcc- |

Forthe Eagle,
VALLEY CENTER.

fALLEY CENTER, apr. Il.
EDITOR EAGLE AT an early hour
this morning our people were startled
oh the announcement of the sudden
death of Mr.. James Gregg, which &C.
Cured at one O'Clock, at the residence
of his sou, near this place. His death
was not caused by any particular dis
ease, but was the inevitable result of
old age with its accompanying frail-
ties. The funeral services took
place on Sunday last. at the Valley
Center school house, conducted by the
Rev. Mr.. Cameron, of Sedgwick City.
The deceased was born in Dundee,
Ireland, in the year 1900. AT the age
of fifteen years his parents brought
him to America. The most of his life
was spent in Vermont and Illinois,
but he has resided in Sedgwick county
for the last seven years. He was a
worthy, consistent and exemplary
member of the NJ. E. church for up
W ilus VI iplI NCdts' LIS ShtiAO AiiS
was characterized by such universal
love, kindness and uprightness of
character, that he was known only to
be loved and respected. Perhaps but
few if any persons having similar
acquaintance have passed over the
river into the new life leaving behind
so few enemies and so many sorrow
stricken friends. His life and death
clearly illustrate the beauties of old
age. Beautiful is the slow dropping
mellow autumn of rich and glorie US
summer. With the deceased nature
had fulfilled the work. She loaded him
with the fruits Of well-spent life, and
surrounded by his children's children
she rocks him away to a grave to
which he is followed with many bless
ings. DAVID BARNS.

The world wants more sunshine
in its disposition, in it's business, in
its charities, in it's theology. For
ten thousand of the aches and pains
and irritaJions of women and men,
we recommend sunshine. 1t soothes
better than morphine; it stimulates
better than champagne; it is the
best Splaster for a wound. The
Good Samaritan poured more in the
fallen travellers cash than of oil.
Florence Nightingale used it on the
Crimean battle fields. Take it into
all the alleys, on board of all the
ships, by all the sick beds. Not a
vial full, not a cup full, not a de-
canter full-but a soul full. 1t is
good for spleen, for liver complaint,
for neuralgia, rheumatism, for fall
ing fortunes, for melancholy. Per-
haps heaven itself is only more sun
slime.

A story is told of deacon in
Tennessee, who was in the habit
of riding bucking mule-that is,
a mule that can make camers
back of its straight one, and, by a
spasmodic movement of its four
legs and hump, discharge its rider
like a cannon ball. The other day
they came to the edge of the worst
mud hole in the State, and the mule
gave u1mistakable indications of
bucking. The good deacon knew
that he was about to be thrown, and
his mind skurried about for pray
er. His table grace came easiest:
Lord, for what we are about to re-
ceive make us humbly thank full"
he exclaimed, and the mule had
bucked and he was in.

A Husbands Right to His Wife.

Savannah ga News: An inter
esting decision relating to the right
of husband to the custody of his
wife was recently determined by
Judge Rice at late term of the
Gwinnett County Court. The wife
was a minor, being only sixteen
years of age, and on this ground her
father detained her at home. The
husband sued out a writ of habeas
corpus, and on the return day of the
same the Judge held: "That, not
withstanding the license was ir-
regularly issued and the father had
not gwen his consent, she being six
teen years of age, the marriage was
valid and binding, and the parties
occupied the relationship of hus-
band and wife; but that under the
law which gives the parent the Gus
tody and right to the services of his
child until majority. unless he vol
UNFAIRLY loses it, that defendant had
the right to her service until she was
twenty-one, and therefore was en-
titled TO her custody. An order was
therefore passed dismissing the writ
and remanding the wife to the pos
session of her father"

"Do you ask what will educate
your son? Your example will edu-
cate him; your conversation with
your friends; the business he sees
you transact; the likings and dis
likings he hears you express, these
will educate him. The society you
live in will educate him; your do
nestle circle will educate him;
above all, your rank, your situation
in life, your home, your table will
educate him. 1t is not in your
power to withdraw from him the
continual influence of these things,
except you were to..withdraw your
self from them also. Education
goes on at every instant of time;
you can neither stop it nor turn its
course. What these have a tenden-
cy to make your child, that will he
be.

Mr.. Moody told his Springfield
audience the other night that he
can tell on looking over the congre-
CATION the believers by the express
ion on their faces. Then he told
them a story about a poor woman,
who hearing a rap, thought the
landlord came to demand the rent.
She refused to answer, and turned
away a friend who wished to give
her money. The audience laughed
at this, but Moody stopped them
abruptly by crying: "You laugh at
that woman, but it was you, your
self, sinner"
