arms in possession OF the autnorltles, MessrS.
Guyol and Fremaux criminals before the
police court.
Now more arms are seized. A steamship
is boarded in the act of discharging freight,
and part of that freight appropriated. Ihere
are no formalities this time; the police as
sumo they are strong enough, and they just
hit the little boy on general principles. For
which reason we say the question is enlarg-
ing its scope. 1t begins to look as though
the Kellogg administration believed 10 its
ability to stand without Federal aid, and
desired TO test the point. Much of this may
be inspired by the knowledge that troops are
near at hand and will soon be here, but the
fact remains.
Those six boxes of muskets taken from
the City Of Dallas yesterday lay on the levee
guarded by MetroDolitans in such manner
and with such slight force as to amount
practically to a banter. It. was as though
the administration put chip on its hat ana
asked some gentleman to be good enough 10
knock it off.
Whatever be the motive, whatever ele-
ments of courage are involved, seems ciear
to US that the State government Is lnVltinS
the issue of material force. We believe Ibis
invitation to be based on false idea OF Inc
white people and their purposes-an ldea
created by foolish and unauthorized declara-
tions-but problem is rapidly taking form
TO this effect. Will not the authorities, per-
haps, push their aggressions too far, and
then, having forced into active existence
sentiment now only presumrtiye, may they
not find themselves unable TO meet the issue
they have Wantonly provoked? The scope
of the proposition widens out immensely,
you perceive.

Partisan authorities inform us that
the hair is still worn exceedingly high,
and that thereis a tendency to cushions.
To this cOiffiure is added the short curls
savoring of the Red Republican days,
and again to the long, falling ringlets
of Marie AntOinette.
The high style of hair dressing is pc
culiarly ungraceful and altogether un-
becoming; therefore, expedients will
be adopted to give better profile than
that produced by a flat back of the
head, particularly where the hair is thin
and has strained appearance. Some
ladies who comprehend the art of hair
arrangement wherein fashion and
beauty agree, will wear a roll of hair,
over which the back hair can be combed
up; or, again, an ornament composed
of q band of velvet or silk,
from which will depend a fringe of
jet or fluffy curls, bought by the yard, a
set of finger putfs, short ringlets, or any
ornament that will give the back of the
head the desired rOundness. A new
and very beautiful ornament for the
hair was yellow gold spray of forget
me-nots, in large turquoise, with spark
ling diamond hearts and long, curved
leaves of diamonds.
The last style of fiat hair dressing is
making hair powder impossible, there
fore questionable. The little waves
are set by gum, pomade, or any sticky
unguent, and then if the high turret and
braids are powdered, one can imagine
the dusty and untidy effect. Decidedly
the light, fluffy curls hanging over the
brow, poodle doggy or not, are prefera-
BILE to having ones locks gummed fast
to the face-at the best an unclean and
uncomfortable fashion. The mystery
of fashion lies in caprice, while the cry
is change, change.

A hollow cylinder will bear a greater
strain than a solid one. Many of us
know by experiment what a hard pres
sure an egg will resist when placed end
wise between the hands. This curious
strength in round but weak substances
is due to the exact, orderly arrangement
of their particles, i. e., in perfect
curves. A memorable illustration was
seen in the mock artillery set to play
guard in front of that creation of impe-
rial whim, the ice-palace of Catharine
of Russia:
Before the palace stood six cannons
of ice and two mortars formed the cast
pieces. The cannons we're six-pounders
which are commonly loaded with three
pounds of powder; these, however,
were loaded with only quarter of a
pound, and carried a ball of stuffed
hemp and sometimes of iron. The balls,
at distance of sixty PAGES, passed
through a board two inches in thick
ness, the ice of the cannons could not
have been more than three or four
in thickness, and yet it resisted the
force of the explosion.

Miscellany.
A Mysterious Cavern.

The Prescott (Arizona) Miner relates
that John McArgurdale, prospector,
has reported most wonderful discovery
in the Aquarious Mountains. 1t goes
on to say: ''He has been out about
forty days, starting in at point twenty
five miles from this place, and in passing
up q canyon he noticed the formation as
being peculiar and showing signs of
recent travel. On his return through
the same canyon he found fresh living
spring running down the middle Of the
gorge, which had evidently been opened
by the shock of an earthquake or by the
heavy rains bursting out from some
underground passage. On following
the spring to its source he found fis-
supe in the rocks, out of which the
stream seemed to come. Providing
himself with torches he forced himself
through the fssure, wading the stream
for one hundred yards, when he came
to an immense cave or cavern. Here
he found old mining relics, such as
picks, shovels, &C., made out of stone
and copper. On one side he found
what he considered to be tomb-stones,
with numerous tablets and hieroglyphic
pictures and writings. One of these
tablets, made of copper, he to-e off and
brought with him. 1t bears the inscrip-
ton, "Sit tibi terra lewis" In one place
he found q stone box, which he broke
open and found some very ancient coins.
On some of them the word ''Pezzo" can
be plainly made out. Another tablet,
found on the hard granite wall, bears
this inscription: "Ju1ta mira Muros."
He also fonnd a scabbard, richly en-
broidered and having q coat of arms of
solid gold, set with precious stones.
The place bore evident traces of many
people living there at some previous
time. And that they excelled in mining
and some art is beyond doubt. He
also carried away other and valuable
articles which he declines to exhibit.
He goes to San Francisco Immediately,
where he will exhibit curiosities and
make arrangements to come back soon
and thoroughly explore the entire cave
and the mountains in the vicinity. 1t
is the opinion here that there is i'm
mense wealth buried some place in the
cave. Many men are fitting out to make
q search for the cave themselves.

ARTISTIC NosEGAYs.-The ball bou-
quet of the period is of long-stemmed
flowers, loosely yet most artistically
put together, and is made up of but
two or three kinds of flowers that must
not only match the floral garniture of
the dress with which they are worn,
but must also be of odors that 90 not
conflict. For instance, with dress of
white gauze, fringed with lilies of the
valley, the hand bouquet is of real lilies
of the valley; pink rosebuds, and glossy
green smilax, with pinkish-yellow sal
mon silk dress. The round bouquet is
half of tea-roses and the other half of
pink buds. Sometimes the entire bou-
quet is of double violets with simlax
wreath; deep red aggrippina roses are
alternated with pale yellow ones, and SO
on. Violets and geraniums neutralize
their odors. Heliotropes and pink rose
buds blend well both in color and per-
fume.

WATER IN THE HOUsE.-A prominent
writer says: Let nobody be deferred
from bringing water into the house by
fear of failure and perplexity. You
might just as well stop the circulation
of blood in the body because it is SUBJ
iect to arrangement, as to refuse the
circulation of water in the house because
now and then pipe overfows and your
frescoes are ruined. Good wcrkmen
viii prevent any such accident, but If
they cannot, give up your frescoes do
not give up your lIfe-blood. When 1
see the farmhouse, the dairies, the
kitchens, whose only source of supply
is in the well in the yard, or the hogs
head at the back door, how life would
be heightened and sweetened If all this
heavy and hard. and slow water-bringing
could be supplanted. / wonder that
We do not manage to introduce it some
how. What an increase of vital force
would ensue what a diminished de-
mand for divorce what strengthening
and up-building of the family bond, if
a girl should refuse to marry until there
was an unexhaustible supply of water,
at least in the kitchen. A house with
out waterworks ought to be considered
as incomplete as house without doors,
and as incomplete in the country as in
the city.

THE SECRET OF DREss.-The great
mistake made by many ladies is that of
spending large sum of money on one
or two very handsome toilets, intended
for dressy occasions, and by this means
not only rendering these dresses so ex-
pensive that they are rarely worn, and
then in 'fear and trembling" thus be-
coming old fashioned before half worn
ont, but at the same time so curtailing
the sum set aside for toilet purposes
that all the other articles of dress have
to suffer. This is mistake never made
by the true Parisienne; she, on the con-
trary, pays particular attention to the
dresses for everyday wear, and seen by
every one, and thus, while spending
far less, appears always well dressed,
to the utter eclipse of those who do not
happen to have on their "best dresses"
This is e1emplifed even in SO small an
article as fan. The foreigner or pro-
vincial will have one very handsome fan
for grand occasions; the Parisienne will
buy several for less money, and, of
course, not so hondsome, but of differ
ent colors assorted to her toilet and
giving her far more elegantly finished
than the lady who is forced
to use the same fan, whatever color or
style her dress may be.

INFLUENCE OF FoOD ON THE QUALITY
OF PoRK-As the result of experiments
in England, upon the influence of food
upon the quality Of pork, it is stated
that pigs nourished with milk give the
best favored meat and the greatest
weight, next to which come those fed
with gram, maize, barley, oats, and
peas. Potatoes furnish lose, light,
tasteless flesh, which wastes away very
much in cooking, while that of animals
fed upon clover is yellow and of poor
flavor. Oil-cakes and oil-seeds produce
a loose, fatty flesh of an unpleasant
taste; beans, hard, indigestib.e and
unsavory meat, and acorns are but little
better.

KEEPING Fowls IN CELLaRs.-It is
not good plan to confine fowls where
they cannot have air, chance to sun
and dust themselves, and be tolerably
free from dampness a cellar could
hardly be made to furnish all these, for
although it might look dry and COM
Portable, there is a chilly, cold air, that
strikes to the very marrow, so to speak ;
and fowls which are very sensitive on
this point, would be sure to suffer
There is no better plan of keeping fowls
both in Winter and Summer, than in
sunny built board house, with openings
to the east, which gives them all the
sun they can have, with a good circula-
of air.

TIE LAVA OVERFLOW OF OREGON
Professor lie COnte, at a recent meeting
of the California Academy of Sciences,
stated that the great overflow of lava
in the West proceeded from the Cas-
cade Mountains in Oregon, which were
of themselves one vast mass of lava.
From this point, the lava overfowed
great portion OF Oregon Washington
Territory, all OF northern California,
and vast sections of Nevada, Montana
and Idaho. The lava floor covered an
area of at least two hundred thousand
square miles, as far as explored, and it
would probably be found to extend over
surface of three hundred Thousand
square miles, as its limit northwest had
never been determined. The depth of
the lava crust varied from upwards of
three thousand feet in the Cascade and
Blue Mountain region to one and two
hundred feet and less at remote points
on tine outer edge OF the overflow.
Where the tremendous gorge of the
Columbia river cut through the lava
bed, it had depth of three thousand
FIVE hundred feet. The eruption was
comparatively recent, belonging to the
latter part of the miocene period, ex-
tending perhaps into the post tertiary.
