Good Taste In Dress.

It IS mistaken economy to furnish uI
faded article because it was once ex-
pensiYe, for the poor remnant OF the
past viii always tell its own story.
neat, pretty calico or lawn, tastefully
made, Is far more becoming than tar
nished finery, soiled silk, or rusty al
pacas. Where but few additions to a
wardrobe can be made, they should be
selected always to harmonic with the
purse first, then the form, complexion,
and whatever else is left OF the year be-
fore, that striking contrasts may be
avoided.
a French woman, however poor, has
always the appearance of freshness and
novelty. Ifshe needs new boots and
can have but one pair, although her in
clination points to drab or bronze boots,
she chooses black, &s for economy and
taste combined, her best dress Is prOba-
bly, black. She needs new gloves, or a
parasol, or bonnet ribbon; before pur-
chasing, she looks over her boxes, and
finds, perhaps, that her best necktie Is
pink; she cannot wear pink gloves nor
carry pink parasol' therefore she wise
ly decides upon roses for her bonnet,
and drab ribbon, drab gloves, and drab
parasol, perhaps frightened with pink
lining, the roses and necktie freshen ad-
mirably the otherwise sOmbre attire,
which is in excellent taste.
y
fashionably dressed IN green gloves,
blue bonnet, and scarlet flowers, and
purple dress, because each article In it
self was costly and well made; but in
stead of being fashionable it would be In
excessively bad taste, as however we
may admire the rainbows OF the sky,
they are tawdry on the street. Ameri-
can women Of fashion and wealth are
beginning to display great taste in COS
TUNES, by dressing in uniform cOlors,
and this requires great outlay of mon
ey, each suit having corresponding
gloves, bonnet, parasol, ETC., furnished
by the dressmakers. But with goods so
cheap as to be really bargains, and fash
ion magazines filled with patterns and
good advice, every facility is given those
upon whom fortune has refused to
smile, IN the way Of making pretty,
tasteful and inexpensive tOilets.-N. 2.

Age Of Han.

Professor Farady adopts Flourins,
physiological theory that the natural
age OF man is one hundred years.
The duration Of life he believes to
be measured by the time of growth.
When once the bones and epiphyses
are united, the body grows no more,
aud it is at twenty years this union
is effected in man In the camel, Il
takes place at eight, in the horse at
FIVE; in the lion, at four; I'm the dog,
at two; in the rabbit at one. The
natural termination OF life Is five re-
moves from these several points.
Man being twenty years i'm growing,
lives five times twenty years, that
is to say one hundred years; the
camel Is eight years, in growing lives
five times eight years, that Is TO saw
forty years, the horse IS five wears in
growing, and lives twenty-five years
and so with other animals. The

hundred years. Providence has
given man a century of life, but he
docs not attain II, because nc inherits
disease, eats Wholesome food. gives
license to passions, and permits vex-
alton to disturb his healthy equipoise,
he does not die, he kills himself. The
professor divides life into two equal
halves, growth and decline, and
these halves Into infancy, youth,
vifility, and age. Infancy extends
to the twentieth year; youth TO the
fftieth because il is during this Pc

LETTER FROM EUREKA.

/ The following letter from an old time friend
who was formerly resident of this county,
was received, a few days ago, and as it con-
tains some interesting news from Nevada, we
publish it for the benefit of numerous friends
who have made inquiries of us about Eureka:

Eureka is nnety-two miles southeast of Pail

line of stages run between the two points
The country is of rolling nature, but not
very rough, and sparsey timbered-the wood
being nut pine and mahogany.
| The population of this town is about two
thousand though three thousand is claimed;
but the camp probably contains four thousand,
of which one thousand are miners, and anoth-
err thousand are coal-burners. The town is on
small fiat with stream of about ten inches
of water running through it. Springs, how
ever, are numerous in this vicinity, and the
water is very good. There are only two streets
in the town. but the business is all done on one

buildings, but there are several fine stone fire.
proofs and more being erected, of the same
character, the stone quarry being only about
three hundred yards from the main street.
There are quite large number of mines in
this camp, most of them very rich, and are To-
Gated from one to FIVE miles from town.
There are six mills, two crushers and four
burners. The Eureka Consolidated Company
have five furnaces the Richmond two, and the
Jackson and Phoenix one each. At present
they are about all idle, which necessarily
causes dull times here. don't know the reas-
OF this general stoppage. as there is plenty
of ore on baud and everything requisite for
active operations. but it looks as though it is a
general move to depress stocks so that the big
fish can gobble up the little ones. The Eure-
ka Consolidated Company pays out eighty thous-
and dollars per month as running expenses,
and the others in proportion, 50 that you can
form some idea of the amount of money in cir.

work. This is n very good camp, without a
doubt. and it is believed the mills and furnaces
will all start up again in a few weeks but
Boise Basin is pretty good place, after all.
Our old Centeryle friends Witten and Ridge
are here; the latter has fire store. splendid
stock of goods. and is doing his share OF the

SPECIALIZING IN VIEW OF DEATH-Some
English merchants recently engaged in n bad
speculation. When it became generally known
that the Prince of Wales was dangerously i'll
they sent agents to Paris and bought up the
entire stock of black gloves, black artificial
flowers, mourning goods and jet ornaments, in
anticipation of the death of the Prince. Alter
being kept in state of suspended for couple
of weeks or more, they see the profits, which
they confidently expected to realize from their
speculation, vanish, as dream, upon receipt
of the news that Wales is convalescent. 1t is
q pity that the "heir apparent" couldn't have
been little more accommodating and have
kicked the bucket" in order to advance the
financial interests of his loyal and loving SUBJ
jects. As he was not very popular before his
recent illness he has probably become less so
since then,

that she had no sympathy for any such move
