60 The Atlantic Monthly Advertiser. BY MRS. JANE Betty Alden. A Story of Plymouth Colony. 16mo, $1.25. "Betty Alden" will form the second volume in a series of historical romances of the Old Plymouth Colony, "Standish of Standish " being the first, "A Nameless Nobleman" the third, and "Doctor Le Baron and his Daughters" the fourth. Miles Standish is largely its hero, and his arrest of Morton of Merry Mount is one of its most interesting incidents. The romantic story of Sir Christopher Gardiner is fully told. The heroine, Betty Alden, is a delightful maiden, with much of the brilliancy of her mother, Priscilla Molines, tempered by the strong sense of her father, John Alden. Like "Standish of Standish," this novel is full of the history and picturesque incidents of the early Pilgrim story. Standish of Standish. A Story of the Pilgrims. 16mo, $1.25. The beautiful directness and purity of its style, the splendid picture-events in which great men form part and are not made small, the pathos with which that old colony life is invested, all unite to demand from the judging class of readers such praise as few novels of the year deserve.

"Manitou and the Mountains" have become household words, and when one nowadays contemplates a summer trip, the popular point, Manitou, at once comes to the front in the minds of all, and the decision in nine cases out of ten is, "Yes, to Manitou we will go." THE CHICAGO, ROCK ISLAND & PACIFIC R'Y runs Through CarVestibule Trains from Chicago to Colorado Springs, and on fast trains are Through Day Coaches, Through Chair Cars, Through Pullman Sleepers and Dining Cars. At Colorado Springs, which is virtually at foot of Pike's Peak, there is an electric line to Manitou (six miles away), and one can leave the Springs at any quarter hour interval. There are steam roads also from Colorado Springs to Manitou. An excellent plan is to take carriage at Colorado Springs and drive to Manitou, taking in en route the Garden of the Gods, so widely advertised, and in which are such wonderful sights, and the detour on this route is but little, and the tourist is well repaid the time and trivial increased expense. But on arrival at Manitou the climax is reached in delightful drives, babbling brooks, lovely lakes, and cool corners in the shady parks that abound at this foot hill village. We can not begin to tell you of the wonders and beauties of this popular resort, but just mention another feature that overtops all. It is the new railroad built from Manitou to the top of Pike's Peak, and in a Railway Car you can now be Carried to the Clouds-Cheaply, Speedily and Safely. Take a trip via the Rock Island Route to Manitou, Colorado, in your summer vacation. E. ST. JOHN, JNO. SEBASTIAN, Gen'l Tkt. & Pass. Agt, CHICAGO.

Mr. Justin Winsor's wide historical studies, which he has made not only on his own account, bu as editor of the "Narrative and Critical History of America," have made him familiar, to a degre scarcely equaled by any other American, with the history of Christopher Columbus. Mr. Was has accordingly undertaken to write the history of Columbus, and to show how he received and in parted the spirit of discovery. He tells not only of the life of Columbus, but describes mines the state of geographical knowledge in the fifteenth century, and how the achievements of Columbus came naturally to pass. He shows how the idea of the sphericity of the earth, originating in the sixth century before Christ, and involving the theory that India lay over against Spain, was ke alive by transmission through learned men till Columbus had the courage to give it physical pro and that when an intervening continent was found, the passage through it which Columbus 2attempted in his last voyage was followed by others under the influence of the same spirit, till Xa gellan accomplished it at the South in 1519, and McClure at the North in 1850. A long series of most interesting portraits and maps adds much to the interest and value cf** book. THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA, WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF ANCIENT AMERICA AND THE SPANISH CONQUEST.
