The people of the state of Washington have good reason to rejoice in the fact that their most highly-prized scenic wonderland, and the last survivors of the wapiti in that state, are now preserved for all coming time.

Their heads resembled those of the most eagerly-sought, highly-prized, and oftenest-stolen lap-dogs. Upon the shoulders of one was the visage of the smallest and most thorough-bred little Blenheim in the world.
And then to all her charms Valerie added the highly-prized advantage of being an occult power. Claude Vignon, now secretary to Marshal the Prince de Wissembourg, and dreaming of promotion to the Council of State as a Master of Appeals, was constantly seen in her rooms, to which came also some Deputies good fellows and gamblers.
There was the great international mart where the Osterling, the Turk, the Hindoo, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean traders stored their wares and negotiated their exchanges; while the curious and highly-prized products of Netherland skill broadcloths, tapestries, brocades, laces, substantial fustians, magnificent damasks, finest linens increased the mass of visible wealth piled mountains high upon that extraordinary soil which produced nothing and teemed with everything.

Its great size and strength the prodigious numbers in which it is found its peculiar habitat the value of its flesh and hide to the traveller, as well as to the many tribes of Indians the mode of its chase and capture all these circumstances render the buffalo an interesting and highly-prized animal.
These, as Luka told him, were valuable, and they would be able to exchange them for food, the Siberian squirrel furnishing a highly-prized fur. Each day Luka brought down at least a dozen of these little creatures, and these, with their dried fish and cakes made of flour, afforded them excellent food on their way.
Though Veronese is not greatly esteemed as a portrait painter, it so happens that the highly-prized picture of his in our National Gallery, called 'The Family of Darius before Alexander, is understood to be family portraits of the Pisani family in the characters of Alexander, the Persian queen, etc., etc.
