Bridal Costumes a Century Age.

To begin with the lady:-Her locks were
strained upward over an immense cushion,
and sat like an incubus on her head, and
plastered over with pomatum, and then
sprinkled over with a shower Of white
powder. The height of this tower was
somewhat over foot. One single white
rosebud lay on its top, ike an eagle on a
haystack. Over her neck and bosom was
folded a lace handkerchief, fastened in
in front by bosom pin, rather larger
than copper cent, containing her grand
fathers miniature set in virgin gold. Her
airy form was braced up in satin dress,
the sleeves as tight as the natural
skin of the arm, with waist formed by
a bodice, worn outside, whence the skirt
flowed off and was distended at the top of
an ample hood. Shoes of white kid, with
peaked toes, and heels Of two or three
inches elevation, enclosed her feet, and
glittered with spangles, as her little pedal
members peeped euriously out. Now for
the swain. His hair was sleeked back and
plentitully befiowered while his queue pro-
jected like the handle of skillet. His
coat was q sky-blue silk, lined with yellow;
his long vest OF white satin embroidered
with gold lace; his breeches of the same
material, and tied at the knee with pink
ribbon White silk stockings and pumps
pleted the habiliments of his neither limbs
Lace ruffies clustered around his wrist, and
portentous frill. worked in correspondence
and bearing the miniature of his beloved
finished his genteel appearance.

A Battle with Stage Robbers.

On Sunday week ago, the Yuma, Cali
fornia, stage coach, when between Yuma
and San Diego, was attacked by stage rob-
bers. The coach was in a narrow road,
the brush on either side being quite thick.
The robbers appeared in the road, and
called oE the driver to halt and give up
the treasure on board, one stepping into
the road in front of them, and the other
three surrounding the coach. The stage
not halting promptly, the man in the road
fired and killed the off wheeler. There
We're six passengers on board, and when
the horse was shot, man by the namG of
W. Richard, of the firm of Richard & Co.,
of Pimos Villages, fired shotgun load
Of buck-shot into the stomach of
the robber in front of the team,
who threw up his hands, ex-
claiming, ''My God, am shot" whereup-
on the fight commenced. The passengers
were poorly armed; there were only three
reyolvers and shotgun aboard, but the
owners used them in a lively manner
driving the robbers off, and getting away
with the treasure. One man on board the
coach named Davis got scratch on the
leg. The coach received several shots.
After the highwaymen were driven of,
their coats and spurs were found hanging
on the bushes. 4 horse was found next
day tied to tree, supposed to have been
left by the party for the use Of the man who
was shot, and who is believed to be hid
away in the vicinity of the attack. a mes
sage was sent back to Yuma for q party to
go in search, and the Indians were put on
the trail. Their capture is nearly cer-
tainty,

verted into real attack, was adroitly baf-
fed. The officers color rose-the eyes. of
the two professors were on him-his repu-
tation and that of his teacher were at stake.
He changed his tactics disengaging sud-
denly he raised his sword and discharged a
blow at the head with seeming irresistible
force Ny little friend could onIy avert
the assault by receiving the sword on the
forte of his weapon and dropping as low as
possible so far was the parry success
ful, but the downward blow, which,
in reality, was only the dvant courier
being followed by a thrust-snder guard,
was only parried by the rSpid use of the
left hand, this time not without mischief.
for blood was seen to flow from the hand
called into requisition. The officer in
making this last thrust, owing to the slip
perry ground, had given an opening, which
my friend, in spite of the previous cautions
of his instructor, prepared to take advant-
age Of The circumstance was noticed by
Di Pratt, who frowned ominously. and
muttered, beneath his breath, eli he break
guard he is lost--hah bravo bravo p
The words of approval were drawn from
him by noticing what had happened. The
last thrust, I have said, brought the officer
just barely within range: By dexterous
movement of the wrist the point of my
friends sword was drawn swiftly across
the officers chest. The temper and keen
ness of the Moorish weapon were here
clearly proved for the touch, light asst ap-
peared laid open flesh and muscle to the
bone from the left shoulder sheer across the
bust, causing deluge of blood to follow
The officer, finding himself severely
wounded, became crimson with rage; curb
ing his passion, he prepared to execute
the favorite maneuvre, which hitherto had
proved fatal to his opponents. He advanc-
ed on my friend. and making strong cross
of his sword, he put forth his wonderful
strength of wrist.
My attention was called off for moment
to Di Pratt who drew out his handkerchief,
held it for moment, and suddenly drop
ped it.
Not moment too soon. The officer had
made his open and delivered swift thrust
full at the body of my friend, who. having
seen the handkerchief drop, brought his
left hand again into play. This time two
fingers fell to the ground. The next inst
ant a terrific yell assured me that something
fatal had occurred. La risp0Ste had been
given; my friends sword was buried deeply
in the lower part of the officers body.
The officer, instinctively feeling that the
wound was mortal, seized the sword with
one hand, and shortening his own, made
desperate lunge only to be warded off by
my friend quitting hold of his sword and
leaping back out ofdistance. The force of
the thrust carried the officer forward; he
fell prone. forcing his opponents sword
into his body up to the very hiit.
The officer cast one look of mingled rage
and hate at my friend, the last look on
earth and as he turned convulsively on his
back, his eyes closed in death.

THE FUTURE.

What may we take into the vast foreverq
That marble door
Admits no fruit Of all our long endeavor
NO fame vreathed crown we wore,
No garnered lore
What can we bear beyond the unknown portal
No gold, no gains
OF all our toiling; in the life immortal
No boarded wealth remains,
sa Nor gilds, nor stains.
Naked from out that far abyss behind us
We catered here;
No word came with our coming, to remind US
What wondrous world was near,
No hope, no fear.
Into the silent, starIess night before US,
Naked we glide;
No hand has mapped the consultations Ger us,
No conrade at our side,
No chart, no guide.
Yet fearless toward that midnight black and hollow
Our footsteps fare;
The beckoning of a Fathers hand we follow p
His love alone is there,
No cnrse, no care

The LATEST YANKEE PROJECT is ship ca
nal across Cape Cod. A party Of wealthy
capitalists in Boston have taken the pre-
liminary steps to accomplish this work.
They propose to build the canal in nearly a
direct line from Buzzard's Bay to Cape Cod
Bay, through narrow neck of land sep
arating those waters, which shall afford a
sufficient depth of water to float the larg-
est class of vessels. The canal will be 800
feet wide, and deep enough to insure "a
feet of water at low tide. 1t is said the
persons who propose to achieve this impor-
tant work are fully prepared to carry it
out, and ask for no pecuniary aid from the
