THE Artist EYE
would expand and the lover Of nature
give glad expression on visiting the.
New Ulm suburbs. On the hilly banks
which ascend from the glistening Cot
t0nwo0d river the visitant stands in
thralldom with the view. To the east
the pupil Of the eye is dazzled by the
rejecting rays from the glasses Of many
happy homes which are surrounded BY
fruitful farms and shadylwoods. To
the west the valley depth is seen and
flowing dreamily along and in liquid
purity the Cottonwood river aids the
picture. Uprising on the North as if
in defense of the proud city are hills
with ambrage and the proud oak, elm
and Walnut stand. The opposite
shore gives but slight base seemingly
to the wooded heights which under the
rising or the setting sun gives glisten-
ling light of glory to the morn or night.
Overlooking the river and nesting mid
the hills rest signs Of habitation but so
suddenly are you brought to them as to

brick structures which are suddenly ex.
posed are specimens of natural strength,
mechanic power and architectural abil.

conversing the enterrogator noticed a
most noble specimen of architectural
and mechanical skill in the shape of a
cottage manufactured from a number
Of different woods and devoted to the
habitation of birds. The dwelling of
Mr.. Schell is fine structure but is
somewhat deyided. The ideas of the
gentleman can be better understood by
the following: The parlors and chamb.
ers occupy one part of a square and di-
rectly opposite a building rests which
on entering presents botanical garden.
Oleanders, and other trees from the
Indies, exotics and flowers of all beauty

West, the hills of the Swiss, the river

British strength. Those grand artistic
efforts were caused by Anton Gag, a
young Bohemian of 10 years of age and
born artist. Anton with life will
become renowned. But to the brewery
