Really an Elegant Thing.


Tho new Rocky Mountain Tourist, just from
the press, is indeed an artistic gem. In point
OF engravlpgs. 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 reproduc-
ton of the Mount of the Holy Cross. or Mo-
rams other matchless drawings are those of
Grand, Glen, Marble, Knabb and Boulder
Canyons, Twin Lakes, Teocali Mountain. etc.
Joseph Beard is eepresented by characteristic
hunting. sketches; Lancelos by spirited draw
ings of the remarkable rock-sculpture on
White River, and Henry Worrall by full pake
views at yeta Pass and Wagon Wheel Gap,
as well as a large number OF other very finely
executed sketches in different portions of the
western country, The engrayings 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-leur pages, exclusive of
the cover, and printed as it is upon SUPERSEDED
and calendered paper of the richest finish, the
effect throughout is superb. While a 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-
curaey and in so easy and pleasing 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 now Rocky Noun
tain Tourist is fit companion to Picturesque
America in any genteman's library. Speci-
men copy may be had without cost by address

Malicious and False.

The smallpox affection was Of course un-
fortunate, but It was nevertheless unayoida-
bic. When it was discovered that the dread
disease had been by some foreigners, in their
passage through the city, communicated TO
citizens, our authorities not only did all in
their power TO prevent the spread OF the dis
case and, without regard to expense or per-
sonal exposure, devised ways to make COM
Portable the lick ones, but our newspapers
published the whole truth, Withholding no
portion of the facts, SO there should be no
grounds for eyaggeration. Happily. the dis
essc has about ali disappeared. 1t was bad
enough to suffer the plague. but the contempt
Idle course pursued towards us by some of
our neighbors was simply outrageous, for
which we can imagine no excuse. Day after
day on the trains and nightly at Newton the
most unblushing fblsehoods and preposterous
oxaggeratisns were INDUCED in by those
whaTn we have reason to believe knew they
were telling lies. Even as late As last week,
travellers were TOLD that hundreds were down
and a score Were being buried daily. All
such representations are malicious, an false.
There has not been new case in the city for
two weeks, and as far as the city authorities
know, the disease 10 entirely ut au end.

ysttiss, Looks OF . Canal Which Z

Hon. Thos. Ryan is not the only man who
thinks there Is \ future for the Great Arkansas
river. President Grant, one Of his messages
called the attention OF Congress to the feasibil

utilizing Its waters in great canal that would
successfully and cheaply transfer the entire
surplus products Of the valley 10 the headwa
