WILL CARSON CELEBRATE?

There appears to be an apathy or
tardiness on the part of the inhabit-
ants of Carson relative to the Gel
ebratioL of the coming national birth
day-the Fourth of July-and as the
time is now at hand, we would like
to ascertain whether that eventful
day is to be remembered by a due
observance or not? Many isolated
villages in Nevada have made ar
engagements to celebrate the natal
day, and why the Capital city is dead
to a sense Of duty in that direction
we are at a loss to conceive. We
would suggest the propriety of a half
dozen OF so of our leading business
men taking the lead and canvassing
the city, and then call a public meet
ing, in order that proper arrange
ments be morefully made. The per
son selected to prepare an Grafton
must have time afforded for that pur-
pose. and in order that the celebra-
ton may be gotten up creditable to
the town, immediate action should
be had. or abandon the whole thing.
We have abundant ability in our
midst that would cheerfully consent
to crate, and with fire works in the
evening, followed by a ball, every
body would remain at home and
each would feel hat they had done
their duty and had all the enjoy
ment that could have been had in
neighboring towns, and at a much
less expense. Will some patriotic
individuals take the initiative? Sue
cess will surely crown their labors.

wedding Dress Gossip.

Fashion, just now, says New York
paper, is intent upon ball and wedding
dresses, as well as the dainty little ac-
cessories of the toilette so necessary for
the toning down of full dress. From
sixty to sixty-fve inches is the rule for
trains, excepting as regards wedding
dresses, which are much longer.
Flounces are rivaling overskirts.
A popularity in making up evening
dress skirts is to have the three front
breadths plain, of ordinary length; the
side and back breadths are then gradu-
ated into train, which can be trimmed
according to pleasure with a deep
hounce, ruffles, or Spanish founce.
At fashionable evening wedding recep-
tion last week two styles of dresses were
remarkable. The furore seemed to be
for tulle Of snowdrift whiteness without
color.
The other was in faille of the palest
and most delicate tints, with clouds of
tulle. An exquisite costume was in
tulle, with an overskirt beautifully en-
broidered, of the rare diaphanous mate
rial. This was gracefully arranged over
q silk skirt of the palest tea rose, trim
med with tulle ruffles and rouchings.
Another was equally beautiful in its
misty, cloud-like daintiness in skirts of
tulle and flounces one over another
In snowy purity and delicacy these
dresses have decidedly noli me tangere
air to the gayer and more pronounced
toilettes. Set over pale blue or rose
color, tulle dresses hoat like the heeey
clouds of sunset; considering their ex-
treme grace and beauty, as well as fra
gility. it is no wonder that to be arrayed |
in tulle is the caprice of our most fash
ionable bellies, who at the same time
comprehend that it is alike becoming to
hlnndn or hrunniia ---

A WATTS History.

A small boy was lately picked up by
the Dubuque Qowa) police, and gave the
following history: t
I" / don't know my age, but was born
in Sabula. My parents are both dead.
The first Ican remember began to pick
up my living here and there, just where
] could find it, sometimes got little
food by doing chores for people, and oc-
casionally some one wonld give me an
old coat or a pair Of pants, and my
shoes, when had any, l picked up
where they. had been thrown away. |
never took any food or clothes without
leave. | never went to school. | slept
around in barns and sheds, and some-
times in dry goods boxes, and for two
winters | slept in a small hut, with an
old man, few miles in the wood, and
there got nuts, such things as l could
find, and fish which | caught in the
river. But / lived for two summers in a
large hole in the bank of the river, up
toward Galena, in a place called the
cut-off." We had first-rate times there,
and lived like kings, on fish, prairie
chickens, ducks and potatoes. Two
boys were with me who ran away
from Galena. One was named Marvin.
| don't know where he is now, but one
time he and | had fine ride in the cars
We went down to Dunleith one day, and
when no one was looking, we got into a
wheatcar and soon after the brakeman
or somebody came and locked the car,
and we rode all the way to Chicago; and
it was long ride, but we eat lots of
wheat, you betl When the man opened
the car at Chicago he looked strange at
us, and then swore some, but we got out
an ran away. l had pretty rough time
in Chicago. When / left there i came
out to Wisconsin with q circus. 1 went
in to do chores, to help fold up tents,
etc, and when we we're in Darlington
got badly hurt on my arm while l was
learning TO somersault and was sick.
Then / could not work, and they scolded
me and kicked me, and ran away the
next day. Then ! got on farmer S
team and rode to Council Hill, and then
walked on the railroad to Dubuque, and
a man soon got me and put me in the
poor-house, and / have been there about
two years. ! got both my feet frozen
some time, don't know when it was.

they sit in the properest kind Of atti-

A Confidence man I'm wall street.

A Confidence MAN In wall street.
They are telling good story on An
drew Y. Stout, the well-known president
Of the New York Shoe and Leather
Bank. A few mornings since Mr.. Stout
was riding down in the cars, when he sat
in such confidential proximity to SYM
pathizing pickpocket that the latter was
tempted into the acceptance of Mr..
Stout's pocket-book, containing valuable
papers and $3.50 in greenbacks. Then
the pickpocket said good morning to
Mr.. Stout and left.
On arriving at the bank Mr.. Stout
discovered his loss. He was astonished
that he, shrewd old New Yorker,
should have had his pocket picked.
Pshawl" he said to his secretary,
mo man could ever pick my pocket.
I'm too smart for that" oil
But the pocket-book, with the money
and valuable papers, was gone, and the
next day Mr.. Stout advertised in the
Herald He said if the person who
took the pocket-book would return the
papers he would give him the money and
S25 besides. The next day he got con-
idential note from party who said a
friend of his had the pocket-book all
safe, and that he would call at the bank
the next day to arrange the matter.
The next day the man was at his post.
He told Mr.. Stout that he would have to
go with him few blocks where the party
who had the pocket-book awaited them.
SO off they started-Mr. Stout and his
honest friend-for the Center restaurant
As they entered the restaurant, Mr..
Stouts friend told him to wait in the
front room moment, and he would go
inside and see the man who had the
pocket-book. In a moment he returned
with the message that the man wouldn't
give up the pocket-book for $25 he
wanted $35. . lHt
" But / enly advertised to give $25, }"
said Mr., Stout, with an eye to business.
This is an extortion."
=" Well, said Mr.. Stout's friend, "Tll
go back and reason with him, and try to
get the pocket-book for $25." And he
disappeared in the back room.
In moment he returned, smiling.
" Well, Mr. Stout" he said, he will
take $25, but he wants the money before
he gives up the pocket-book.
All rlght, SAID MIR. Stout, blandly,
here is $25. Take it to him and bring
back the papers.
"0ne word Mr.. Stout" said the man
con6dentially; this thing is to be
strictly between ourselves. You will
never ask any questions, tell anybody,
or seek further knowledge, will your"
q" No, never. ! give you my word as
president of the Shoe and Leather Bank
not to say anything about it. )"
" All right, thea-mum is the word,
said Mr.. Stouts friend, as he passed
into the back room with the money.
Mr.. Stout waited patiently for his re-
turn-waited FIVE, ten, fifteen minutes
but, alas his friend never came back,
and the shrewd president returned to
the bank sad and ruined mani He
says his friend is welcome to the $25,
but he wouldn't have the story get into
the newspapers or around among his
friends for $4,000. He says it wouldn't
be fair, for he promised-solemnly pre-
mised-his friend when he gave him the
S25 not to mention the matter.

Another Lovely Myth OF the school
d Books Disappeared.

The terrible maelstrom off the coast
Of Norway has unsccountably disap-
peared. A late traveller says there is no
such whirlpool and that il is only when
the tide, current and wind are at logger
heads in the narrow straits between Mos
kenaessor and the lofty isolated rock of
Mosken that any agitation is visible at
all. He is, therefore. Of the opinion
that some such phenomenon as this,
seen from the shore, and exaggerated by
the horror Of the beholder, gave rise to
all the marvellous legends Of the mael-
strom. 1t is sad TO part with an old
friend, but really there is no help for it.
Science is memorable, and that msgnifi-
cent old myth Of the sea, that has been
swallowing ships in the school geogra-
ply for generations, must come out Of
that truthful textbook as Scylla and
Chsrybdis and as a good many other
myths have done before.
