Variety In Fashion.

A few years ago there could not be
two fashions; one style of thing was
worn and no other. If flounces were
the mode, every one who had the least
pretention to elegance must wear flom-
ces; if coat sleeves were worn, dresses
were only made with sleeves of that
shape, and any other pattern would
have been tabooed rs outlandish and
odd. 1t was the same with trimmings,
bonnets, and everything else. 1t is
only lately that fashion has enlarged its
orbit, and allowed many styles and
modes to be in equal favor at one time.
At the present moment we have loose
jackets, tight polonnaises, and several
different shaped mantles; fortrimmings,
velvet, ribbon, chenille, jet, gimp, and
embroidery; bodices with Wristbands,
with basQues, and with sashes; cha
peaur in velvet, silk and felt. Why
should we not have long falling robes
like those of Norma, as well rs the short
scanty skirts of Queen Charlotte's time
to set off the dainty looped-up pctticoots
of a Dolly Warden? | do not see why
we should not have as many styles AS
dress-makers like to invent and women
to wear. The picturesque appearance
of our drawing-rooms and promenades
could only be enhanced thereby. All
fear of monotony would be thus eluded;
Il green dress made in one style is not
the same as n green dress made in an
other. A woman would also have free
scope wherein to choose the mode most
likely to suit her face and figure, and
thus we should arrive at the end and
aim of good dressing, which is, of
course, to enhance the charm of the
wearer, and at the same time to set of
the costume to the best advantage.

Terrible Scene In a Menagcrlc.

The ,Seiss Times sys that at the men
ngerie Of Signori Bidel and Fairnali, nv
Turin, the audience was treated to
performance not announced II tho bills.
Signor Bidel, the famous lion-tamer,
entered, ms usual, large cage in
which were lions, lioncsses, bears, ny.
enas, and a lamb. After the feats OF
leaping, etc, ordinarily shown in such
exhibitions, the grand feature consisted
in the simultaneous approach OF the
wild animals To the lamb, and tho fx.
change OF "thc kiss Of fraternity"
This was accomplished successfully, the
animals mcthodically touching noses,
then gravely stalking back to their
places. The performance was to close
with putting the lambs head IN the
mouth Of II lion. No sooner had the
Jaws closed upon the head OF the ami
NAL it was evident by the eyes and
movement Of the tail OF the lion that
foul play was threatened, and before n
wordof command could be given streams
of blood were running from his mouth.
Children screamed and women tainted,
but fortunately the panic was OF short
duration. Sgnor Bidcl, with a terrible
blow on the throat of the lion and n
shout of command, forced the half wild
animal to rolinquish his victim, and, nj
though roaring fearfully, he sullenly
obeyed the fixed eye and gesture OF his
master, retiring into the corner of the
cage. But, to the renewed horror OF
the people, in dealing with the lion he
had turned his back on the lioncss, which,
with howl of rage, lcapt upon his back:
Fortunately for Bidel, her claws and
teeth entered his clothing only, and,
with spring and cry, leapt from under
her, ut the same time striking right and
LETT with his loaded whip, forcing the
animals to the front of the cage. There
was an instant OF hesitation on the part
of the latter, during which Bidel, revol,
yer in hand, unfastened the cage and
backed himself ont. Seeing him safe,
the reaction of the audience was tire
mendous, and the cheers that greeted
his appearance were dcafening. Al
though perfectly quiet, the deadly pal
lor of his face gave evidence OF the dan
ger he had passed.

An Indian Massacre.

Whom on the Goth OF November last
Captain Jack and his Modoc warriors
were driven from their encampment on
Lost River. Or, portion OF the band
who had for some months Occupied POI
sition across the stream near the white
settlement Of Tub Lake seized the OPP
portunity TO pcrpetrate n most bloody
massacre. William Boldly, his two
stepsons, Richard and Willie Crarigan,
and his son-in-lnw, Nicholas Sheira,
were cutting firewood in the timber not
far from their home, and about noon
the team OF the latter came Mt n gallop,
drivcrless, down the road to the farm
house, and ns il drew near was seen to
be covered with blood. Mrs. Scheira,
thinking her husband had been thrown
out, ran up the road quarter OF n
mile, and found him lying by the road,
side shot through the head, but still
alive. He expired in n few minutes.
Six Indians dashed past her toward the
house, and Mrs. Scheir, mt Hhce suspect.
ing the truth, hurried on in search of
tho other men. A little further on
Richard, tho elder stepston, was dis
covered, killed and stripped naked, ly-
ing across his wagon, Horses and har-
ness were gone. Mr., Boldly had been
chopping wood n quarter of mile
further on, and n number of Indians
were seen Mt that point. The woman
dared not go on, and turned back to
find Willie, who had been tending sheep
near the house, lying in the field with n
bullet through his breast and his throat
cut. Only the women of the family
escaped. Their next door neighbor and
all his family but the wife were also
slaughtered. The two women, Mrs.
Boldly and Mrs. Scheira, travelled till
dark in the two feet of snow, and sat
down under tree to wait for morning,
and finally, totally exhausted, reached
the Lost River bridge in the afternoon
of the next day. The Indians had been
threatening assault openly for months,
but it was not considered that n guard
from the fort would be necessary. As
it was the services of the soldiers were
confined to discovering and interring
the unfortunate victims.

A FIXED FACT IN PHARMACY
sidering the multitude of diseases, it
is amazing that we live; in view of the
countless remedies for them, it is Won
derful Lat we die. Unfortunately,
howeve III ne diseases are realities,
whereas os' Of the remedies are hunl-
bugs. One exception to the latter rule
demands the recognition and approval
of the press. We refer to DIR. JOSEPH
WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs. OF the
doctor himself, we know nothing but
of his medicine we can speak from OBJ
servation, for it seems to have found its
way into almost every household.
Probably it is more extensively used in
this country, as family remedy, than
any other preparation, although it has
not yet been before the world three
years. Wherever we go we hear of it.
and whenever we hear of it the COM
ments on its efficacy are enthusiastic.
We have questioned sufferers from liver
complaint, remittent fever, fever and
ague, chronic headache, vertigo. irregu-
larities of the bowels, Indigestion, rheu-
matism, neuralgia, gout, kidney dis
eases, and affections of the lungs, as to
its effects, aud the uniform answer has
been, an is doing me good" Believing
that what everybody says must be true
we have no hesitation in admitting that
VINEGAR BrrrERs is the Great Medical
Success of the present century.

Justice in California.

The first Alcade, in 1851, in Yreka,
California, was known MS "Cut-eye Eos
ter, but he left no docket, and soon ran
away, and George G. Vail reigned in his
stead. No law book was ever used in
his court; he decided each case on its
own merits, writing out the full history,
and his docket is curiosity. In one
case brought before him, a boy had
driven n team from Oregon, and worked
all winter for man, who declined to
pay. He sold out in the spring and was
leaving suddenly, when, on complaint
of the boy, Vail and two constables
stopped him on the road. 1t was proved
that he had received three thousand
dollars on his sale, but he declared him
self unable to pay, though not denying
the boys claim. Judge Vail decided in
these words: Constable, stand this
man on his head, shake him well, and
see if you can't hear something drop!
No sooner said than done. A vigorous
shaking brought to light a wallet con
tanning two thousand dollars in gold
dust: the boy received his claim of three
hundred dollars, the judge and consta-
bles took an ounce apiece for their troub-
lie, and the defen dant went his way a
lighter man. } stice like this was
cheap at three ounces.

skin of creamy Wilderness, large velvety
dark eyes beaming with intelligence,
soft, brown hair, delicately formed
nose, anda rosebud mouth, which, open
ing, discloses perfect teeth, and you
have a faint idea of Nine. Flores. Add
to this that the little mouth never essays
to speak without saying something

band and Washington society as well
