A more cheerful view. The Plains of Colorado. The Colorado
Mountains "might have been seen" in the distance, if the
Artist had painted 'em. But he is prejudiced against
mountains, because his uncle once got lost on one.

The pretty girls of Utah mostly marry Young.

TOTNESS, Oct. 20th, 1866.
MR. ARTEMUS WARD:
My dear Sir,--My wife was dangerously unwell for over
sixteen years. She was so weak that she could not lift a
teaspoon to her mouth. But in a fortunate moment she
commenced reading one of your lectures. She got better at
once. She gained strength so rapidly that she lifted the
cottage piano quite a distance from the floor, and then
tipped it over on to her mother-in-law, with whom she had
some little trouble. We like your lectures very much.
Please send me a barrel of them. If you should require any
more recommendations, you can get any number of them in this
place, at two shillings each, the price I charge for this
one, and I trust you may be ever happy.
I am, Sir,
Yours truly, and so is my wife,
R. SPRINGERS.

An American correspondent of a distinguished journal in
Yorkshire thus speaks of Mr. WARD'S power as an Orator:--
"It was a grand scene, Mr. ARTEMUS WARD standing on the
platform, talking; many of the audience sleeping tranquilly
in their seats; others leaving the room and not returning;
others crying like a child at some of the jokes--all, all
formed a most impressive scene, and showed the powers of
this remarkable orator. And when he announced that he
should never lecture in that town again, the applause was
absolutely deafening."
