Really an Elegant Thing.

The new Rocky Mountain Tourist, just from
the press, is indeed an artistic gem In point
of engravings, printing and descriptive it is
beyond all question the handsomest publica-
ton of the character ever issued IN the Uni
ted States. There are in this work no less
then sixteen of Thomas Morans exquisite
drawings, and among them his famous repros
duction of the Mount of the Holy Cross. Of
Moran's other matohless drawings are those
of Grand, Glen, Marble, Knab and Boulder
Canons, Twin lakes, Teocalli Mountain etc.
Joseph Beard is represented by Characteristic
hunting sketches, Bisbing by several exceed
ingly attractive mountain sketches Lancelot
by spirited drawings Of the remarkable rock
sculpture on the White river, and Henry War
rail- BIZ full page views at Veta Pass and Wa
gon Wheel Gap, as well as large number of
other very finely executed sketches in differs
ent portions of the western country. The en-
cravings are for the most part large, the full
ouarto pages OF the tourist enabling the show
ing to the finest advantage of plates seven by
ten inches. The book comprises sixty-!our
pages, exclusive of the cover, and printed as
il IS upon superseded and calendered paper of
the richest finish, the effect throughout is gu
perb. While very model of typographical
beauty, the Tourist is none the less practical
in its range OF information, time, distances,
railroad and stage fares, hotel and livery rates
being noted with uniform accuracy and in so
easy and pleasant a manner as to entirely re-
lieve the work of everything approaching the
tedious detail of the average guide book Con-
tanning no advertisements of whatever charac-
ter, the new Rocky Mountain Tourist is fit
companion to picturesque America in any gen.
tlemans library. Write to w. F. White, To-
peka Kansas, that you are subscriber of the
Grant County HERALD and he will send you

The Japanese cultivate cherry,

DOINGS OF THE Lawyers
CONVENTION.
BIZ LUTHER BROWN.

BIZ LUTHER BROWN.
For the HERALD.
The lawyers once meeting held,
Their fees to regulate,
And by their wisdom thus combined,
To regulate the State.
They realized that times we're hard,
But harder still would be,
If they did not unite at once
And raise the legal fee.
One thought divorces should pay more;
The parties ought to smart
For trying thus without cause
The golden knot to part.
Another thought more offices
Should soon erected be,
So each one of their legal band
Could have some two or three
Another thought that salaries,
Connected with the law,
Should ali be raised peg or two
And thus more money draw.
And one thought that the dignity
Connected with the law,
Entitled it to more respect
Than it was apt to draw.
Another thought in cases where
4 jury did agree,
That Counsellors upon the case
Should charge an extra fee.
But still another thought it best
To send such case away,
And try it DER in higher Court,
At some far distant day.
For that would surely business make
And bring them in the dimes,
And tend at least to help them all
Ard make more lively times.
But here their leader rose to say,
He long had thought it best
To take possession of the State
And let the people rest.
Twas Ian he said, that made the State,
Then it belonged to lar,
And why not from it do our best
More revenue to draw?
And so they all agreed at last,
To do their very best,
To carry out their leaders plans,
And let the people rest.

The Eastern War.

Russia pays a tremendous price
for her success. Few nations have
ever gone TO war under greater dis
advantages. Il seemed madness
for the Cars armies to hazard a
compaign so far from the base of
supplies. Nothing since the days
when Trajan pushed through the
same region and bridged the Danube
on his way north has occurred re
sembling the determination, courage
and persistency of the Russians.
The whole war has been unnecessa-
rily hard on the men because of
the poor officers they have had over
them. Thousands of lives have
been sacrificed through the blum
ders of the Grand Duke Nicholas
and his staff, and had it not been
for the superior quality of endur-
ance possessed by the Russian sol
diers there is little doubt that the
Balkans would never have been
reached. Russia has suffered terri
bly,. Her commerce has been seri-
ously affected; agricultural pursuits
have been almost abandoned; and
the publiedebt, by the Issue of enor-
nous quantities of paper money, has
run up to about $4,000, 100000,
while fully 100000 men, chiefly from
the peasant, the producing class,
have been slain in battle. That the
Car will demand some approxima-
tion to an equivalent for this year
of fearful losses to the Empire is
certain. Turkey can not pay large
cash war indemnity. for she has ava
lanches of worthless paper. She
will have to accede to severer terms
probably the loss of Armenia; the
tribute of Roumania stopped; the in
dependence of Bulgaria; the opening
of the Dardanelles to Russian war
ships. and some other trifes, such as
the REIMBURSEMENT of Northern
Albania to the Montenegrins; Bos-
MIA and Herzegovina to Austria;
Thessaly and Epirus to Greece.
After this process of stripping it
would be better for the Turks to re-
trace their steps to ASIA Courier
