REALLY AN ELEGANT THING.-The new
Rocky Mountain Tourist just from the press,
is indeed an artistic gem. In point of engrav-
ings, printing and description it is beyond all
question the handsomest publication of the
character 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. or Morans other matchless
drawings are those Of Grand, Glen, Marble
Knab and Boulder Canons, Twin Lakes, Teo-
CALI Mountain. etc. Joseph Beard is represent
ed by characteristic hunting sketches, Bisbing
by several exceedingly attractive mountain
sketches, Lancelot by spirited drawings of the
remarkable rock-sculpturs on White River, and
Henry Worrall by full-page views at Veta Pass
and Wagon Wheel Gap, as well as large num-
Der of other very finely executed sketches in
different portions of the western country. The
engravings are for the most part large, the full
quarto pages ofthe Tourist enabling the show
ing to the finest advantage of plates seven by
ten inches. The book comprises sixty-four
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is upon SUPERSEDED and calendered paper of the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 very model of typographical beauty,
the Tourist is the less practical in it's range
Conformation, time, distances, railroad and
stage fares, hotel and livery rates being noted
with uniform accuracy 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
new Rocky Mountain Tourist is fit companion
to Picturesque America in any gentlemans Ii
brary. Specimen copy may be had without cost
by writing to w. F. White. Topeka, Kansas.

BAZAAR GLOvE-FITTINGP -Notwith-
standing the mere nominal price at which these
patterns are sold, the original model Of each and
every pattern here represented was procured
by us at a cost of S25 in gold. The grace and
elegance impaired to the figure by the use Of
these patterns is the result of an experience
which only Moschcowitz or a Worth can pro-
duce. Our patterns are cut so perfect, and direc-
tions written so plain that any person of ordi-
nary intelligence can cut and make their own
garments. This certainly is great saving of
expense in these times of commercial depres-
sion. The style of every pattern is simple, but
elegant; the fit is absolutely perfect. If dress
makers would study their best interest, they
would use patterns coming from the hand of so
eminentan artist. Ladies should lose no time
in ordering them from the Agent at Green's
Notion store, corner 5th and Broad street, Rich
mond, Va. Cut this out for future reference.

THE TUNKERs OR GERMAN BAPTIsTs.-The
German Baptists, or Thinkers or Dunkards, as
they are commonly called, form a considerable
element of the population of the counties Of
Augusta, Shenandoah, Rockingham, Botetourt
and Roanoke in this extensive and fertile VAL
ley. They are all tillers of the SOIL and are re-
markable for their honesty and industry their
peace-loving and law-abiding principles; their
fidelity to the tenets of their church, and the
quiet and unobtrusive manner in which they
pursue the even tenor of their way" molest-
ing none They are good citizens and econom-
zeal, prosperous farmers. They are faithful in
the performance of their church obligations,
and punctual in their attendance upon divine
service.
Their meetings are earnest and devout with
out being boisterous or demonstrative. Meet
ings of more than ordinary interest have been
held during the past month in Barren Ridge
church, near New Hope, in this county, at
which series of earnest and able sermons have
been preached by Rev. G. G. Lint of PennsyI-
vania prominent minister of the German
Rantist Church

THE COAL TRADE OF THE c. & O. r. R-From
report made to the President and Directors of
the c. & o. Railroad, by their Consulting En-
gineer, Gen. I. M. St. John, we learn the follow
ing interesting facts:
Coal shipments to Richmond commenced
soon after the opening of the road in the sum-
mer of 1873. In 1874, five mines shipped coal
by the c. & O. road; in 1875, ten; in 1876 nine
teen, and in December 1877, official returns re-
ported thirty-twO good mines on theline of this
road. This mine development commenced a.
bout the time of the financial panic of 1878 and
continued through the subsequent pressure SO
generally severe upon new enterprises in coal
and iron. In 1875 the number of tons shipped
to Richmond was 23I, III, and in 1877 it reached
31O,352 It is estimated that the increased ship
ments last year would have been at least 100 goo
tons, had it not been interrupted by strikes and
labor troubles. OF 903 vessels cleared from Rich
mcnd last year, 3l6left the c. & Q. wharves with
camel gas, splint and steam Goals for North
ern and Eastern markets. Shipments OF c. & o.
Goals have been made to the West Indies. and
with greater water facilities they will undoubt-
eddy be continued. The successful Introduction
of Kanawha and New River Goals into markets
so distant is one of the strongest proofs of the
ability of the G. & o. Railroad, with its excep-
tionally favorable grades, to move heavy traffic
at very low cost.
This report gives a very favorable showing OF
the coal trade over this road, and indicates a
very healthy and increasing development OF
the great coal and iron interests of Virginia
and West Virginia. We hope soon to see the
amount of shipments doubled, and even quad
rupled, as such enterprises and developments
areactually necessary for thelife and vigor ofour
State and Section. With such indications be-
fore us we see no cause for our people to become
dsheartened or distrustfu as to the future OF old
Virginia.
