Next to the skin they wore n c"Crse
white linen shirt, and thicl: r"d nm
der the right arm to guard liz, hrach-
inl arteries. On the right arm were
placed thick learner glove aisd :,siik
sleeve, then II sleeue of quite ,nrvass
about an inch thick, an elbow I3d of
leather bound on with STRAPS, aud II
canvass bandage over all. SO thick
were these bandages that it was impos-
sible to let the arm hang 10y the side.
A tightly-twisted silk handkerchief
extended from the little finger along
the outside of the wrist to guard it.
A large thick leather apron, slit in
the m iddle so rs to be fastened to each
leg with straps, covered the lower part
of the chest, and extended below tie
knees. 10 prevent an accidental
wound in the eye, pair OF iron eye
goggles were strapped on, furnished
with glasses for tho-e who were short
sighted. A padded neck-guard COM
pleted the dress. Thus swathed and
bandaged up, the appearance of the
combatants was rather comical ",
with their huge bandaged arms sup
ported by friends, they walked with
Slight swagger around the room, watt
ing till the umpire had taken his seat.
The seconds were provided arm-guards
and feather peaked caps, with neck
guards like small holsters, and with
swords, not to protect their principals,
but to prevent foul play. The umpire,
watch and note book in hand, soon
took his seat, and the weapons were
handed to the swordsmen.
The swords have very large IRON
barred hilt, something of the ,hale g t..
claymore hilt, sut much larg'r. They
are quite stright, about three-q lHrters
of an inch wide at the hilt and taper
ing to a quarter OF an inch at the point;
They are very thin and flexible, and
low-tempered, in order that they may
not be brittle, aud require constant
Strengthening during the fight. They
are very sharp at the point for about
nine inches; the rest is blunt.

"Rose of sharOa''-Tne Great CaIifOr-
mia NuptiaIs.

The great event in San Francisco
lately, was the marriage on the 18th
ultimo, of Miss Clara A. Sharon,
daughter of the millionaire, silver
miner and railway magnate, MFR.
Sharon. 1t is declared to have been
the nobbiest wedding the Pacific
slopers have ever had. The mogniii-
cent Sharon mansion was luxuriously
fiorally decorated $1,000 gas fixture,
$1,000 mirror, and a $l25 coal scuttle
were several of the features of it.
Mr.. Frank G. Newland was the
groom. He is described as five feet
eight, twenty-eight years of age, fea-
lures regular and attractive, with dark,
laughing hazel eyes, complexion rath-
er fair than llorid, and wears no beard,
His bushy head of light auburn hair is
parted neither in the middle nor on
the right nor left side, looking as
though inclined to rebel against any
attempt to draw furrow through 1T.
Each particular hair bristles up on end
and then circles downward in curling
locks. His head, in fact, reminds one
forcibly of the figure exhibited in sci
entific lectures to illustrate the influ-
ence of electricity on hair. But this
peculiar head of hair rather adds to
than detracts from the prepOssessing
appearance of the man. lie is well
proportioned, has square shoulders, a
good, round chest, and moves general
ly with hurried step, as though try
ing to crowd five minutes into one.
In manner he is natural. There is
nothing of either the exquisite or fop
in him.
THE BRIDE.
The bride, Clara A. Sharon, is a
demi-brunette in style of beauty, petite
in figure, and of winning and graceful
manners. She is of a retiring DISPOSE
tion, stunning rather than coveting
display. Although a quieter marriage
and "cottage by the sea" would have
coincided with her desires, yet she has
proved and will prove herself entirely
equal to all the emergencies of her high
social position. To the graces of the
true lady have been added such refine.

Keyser,s New Girl.

They have new hired girl over at Key
ser's farm, just outside our town, ard on
Tuesday, before starting to spend the day
with friend, Mrs. Keyser instructed the
girl to whitewash the kitchen during her
absence. Upon returning Mrs. Keyser
found the job completed in very salts
factory manner. On Wednesdays Mrs.
Keyser always churns, and last Wednesday
when she was ready she went out, and,
finding that Mr.. Keyser had already put
the milk into the churn, she began to
turn the handle. This was at eight o'clock
in the morning, and she turned until ten
without any signs of butter approaching
Then she called in the hired man and he
turned until dinner time, when he knocked
off with some very offensive language ad-
dressed to that butter which had not yet
come.
After dinner the hired girl took hold Of
the crank and turned it euergetically until
two o'clock, when she let go with a remark
which conveyed the impression that she
believed the churn to be haunted. Then
Mr. Keyser came out and wanted to know
what was the matter with that churn any
how. 1t was a good enough churn if peo-
pie only knew enough to work 1t. Mr..
Keyser then worked tho crank until half
past three, when, as the butter had not
come, he surrendered it again to the hired
man because he had an engagement in the
village. The man ground the machine to
an accompaniment of frightful impreca-
tions then the Keyser children each took
turn of an half hour then Mrs. Keyser
tried her hand, and when she was exhaust
ed she again enlisted the hired girl, who
said her prayers while she turned. But
the butter didn't come.
When Keyser came home and found the
churn still in action he blasted his eyes
and did some other innocent swearing, and
then he seized the handle and said he'd
make the butter come if he kicked up an
earthquake in doing it. Mr.. Keyser effect
ed about two hundred revolutions of the
crank a minute, enough to have make any
ordinary butter come from the ends OF
the earth and when the perspira-
ton began to stream from him and still the
butter didn't come, be uttered one wild
yell of rage and disappointment and kicked
the churn over the fence. When Mrs.
Keyser went to pick it up she put her nose
down close to the buttermillS, and took a
sniff. Then she understood how it was.-
The hired girl mixed the whitewash in the
churn and left it there. A good, honest
and intelligent servant who knows how TO
churn can find situation at KeYser's.-
There is a vacancy.

Fever and Ague Powders have never failed to
cure the Chills in any case.
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED:
Their Reputation IS EstdbliShed. - Thousands

that these Powders have performed miracles In
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
There Is no Risk in Taking Them. - They
contain nothing injurious, and, therefore cause
none Of those lingering diseases so often the re-
suit of the many nostrums of the day. Physi-
clans recommend them as far superior to Qui-
nine, or any other known remedy, for they leave

COMPRISING HUMANrTY.-When the In
habi.ants of great nation are massed they
appear comparatively Insignificant. For in
stance, we will suppose the men, women and
children Of the United States to average
twelve inches through the chest. AMI eight
cen inches from shoulder point to shoulder
point-an over-estimate and with this cal.
culation We will mass them in single files !;
the result is that we get the entire population
OF the Union on les than two sections Of
land. And extending the calculation, we
find that m area six sf;3es square. or = sur
vevor's township, would contain the entire
population Of the globe. Thus massed the
population Of Montana would scarcely cover
piece Of ground sixty yards square. All
the able-bodied men Of the world would have
room to maneuvre as soldiers in the Gallatin

tell. What exagaerstions We are treated
