The new Roxy Mountain Tourist, just from
the press. is indeed an artistic gem. In point
of engravings. printing and descriptive it is
beyond all question the bandsomest publica-
ton ever issued in the United States. There
are in this work no less than sixteen OF
Thomas MOran's exquisite drawings. and
among them his famous reproduction Of the
Mount of the Holy Cross. Of Moran's other
matchless 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 exceedingly at
tract.ve mountain sketches, Lancelot by spirit
ed drawings of the remarkable rock-sculptu-e
on White River. and Henry Worrall by full
page views at Veta Pass and Wagon Wheel
Gap. as well as large number of other very
finely executed sketches IN different portions
of the western country. The book comprises
sixty-four pages, exclusive Of the cover. The
Tourist Is practical in its range of Information
time, distances, railroad and stage fares, hotel
and livery rates. Containing no advertise
ments OF whatever character. the new Rocky
Mountain Tourist is a 1t companion to Pictur-
esque America In any library. Specimen copy

CITY ELECTION.

At the election last Monday the fol
lowing city officers were elected: May
or, G. S. Radcliff; Councilmen, NJ. N.
Briggs, c Eberhardt, I. f. Carver, Z.
E Faulkner and A. w. Wick ham Po-
lice Judge, S. NJ. Palmer. The Issue
made was temperance and against city
of the second class. The election was
very closely contested, the highest mum
Der of votes cast for any one candidate
being for Mr.. Briggs, who received 1853
out OF vote of 499. The temperance
people elected four out of the five coun-
cilmen and the police judge-Mayor
Radcllff and councilman Wickham OF
the peoples ticket being elected. This
is the third term for Mayor Radcliff and
tie fourth term for Mr.. Wickham in the
council, and it is indeed a compliment
to their record in the management OF
cur city affairs. to thus be returned.
All will agree with US that the gentle
men elected possess the qualifications
for making one of our very best city
councils.
In this connection we desire to call at.
t6ullOu u lu0 ulSou SohAi~
ton of affairs under which this council
will have to labor during their term. 1t
10 very probable that the forthcoming
annual statement of the financial condI-
ton of the city will not show q balance
in the city treasurer above the If debted-
ness of the city now due. A compare
lively light levy was made last year as
the council then had the license fees
to depend on. These license fees were
asuaiiy paid in May and furnished
means to cary on tho city government
uatil the taxes were collected in Deem
Der. The present council has not this
fund to depend upon, ard with the
closest economy it is to be supposed that
the city warrants will not be quoted at
their face, as they will have TO be car
ried until the taxes are collected. An
other thing must be taken into consid-
GRAFTON, and that is that under our pres
emit system only one-half of tho taxes
are collected in December, the other
half being allowed TO run until the fol-
lowing June. 1t is usually tho case that
o portion of the first collection runs over
until that time. Consequently larger
proportion of the levy for the expenses
Of the coming year will not be collected
until after the term for which the
present council was elected has ex-
pired. In view Of these facts it will not
come with good grace for the citizens to
carly set up the cry that the no license
tenn of running the city is failure.
That is point which cannot be deter
mined IN one year, and at the end of
the year the council cannot be just
~ judged upon comparison of tie tax
levy of 1873 with that of 1877, or rs,
but only on a comparison of their ex-
penditures with tho ofprcvious years,
with an allowance for the disadvantage
in not having the same resources of for
mer years. We do dot believe the sue
cess of the temperance movement will
hang upon the success or failure of a no
license system. The temperance move
0ent will be judged by the order and
quiet OF temperance people and the So
briefly Of those who join with them.

Corn for Horses.

Mr.. John Harper, of Kentucky, has
high opinion of he value Of corn. for
horses. He attributed the success of
Longfellow and his companion in fame
largely to the strengthening influence
Of the 'good old yellow Ohio corn, of
which he was in the habit Of giving to
each animal '.iast about twenty eight
good, sound ears every day when in
training, and when they don't eat it all
up. We give them little more exercise
TO strengthen their appetites. and that
makes them run from eud to end"
Commenting on the statement, The
Golaen R;sle, which hasa distinguished
horscman at its head, says:
Certain it is that the owner and
trainer Of sach horses as Endorser,
Lyt,letor. Longfellow aud scores of
other celebrated ones, should know
what he is talking about. AS to our
selves, we are inclined to think that
good bright corn might be fed during
our cold New Es. gland winters to a
mu III greater extent than i. is, with
profit It is fact that nearly all hor-
ses prefer corn to any other dry food.
Ears OF corn, ground cob aud all, aud
fed with cracked rye or oats. in the

The Time Of Rarus.

We have been asked if Rarus oh
tanned a record of 2:13t at Buffalo.
Our reply is, Yes. Although his trials
were somewhat irregular, the Judges
decided that he had won the $500 Of
Fred to the horses which could beat
2:ll, and the association paid him the
money so won. Rarus trotted for a
consideration, and he received the con
sidera,ioa; therefore his time. 2:13l
has passed into the record We may
tax as much as we pleased about the
irregularity Of the trials, but we can
not 20 behind the returns. The de-
cision Of the judges will have to be ac
cepted until it is overthrow by some
competent authority This is the law
Of the National Association. and in the
