The Feminine Toilet.

The other day, says a lady
writer, heard of an incident
which shows that even the best
of men do not understand all
the mysteries of the feminine toi-
let. A gentlemen, who devotes
much of his time to the society
of ladies, and who believes him
self a conn0iseIr in all that per-
tains to them, was much aunOye d
by observing that a friend of his,
favorably known for her style OF
elegant dressing, would insist,
when the weather would allow it,
upon wearing an Old-lOoking
shawl, devoid Of any claim on
beauty or good taste.
The gallant endured this for a
long while. He drove in the
park with his friend, and very
often looked at the 0diOus shawl
in 8 way that he thought would
convince her Of its unfitness for

to her, one day, MAY 1 be per

will deform yourself with such q
faded rag as that. 1t has nothing
in the world to recommend it
and believe that if you were t.
throw it off into the street nobody
would pick it up."
The bright eyes opened with
surprise, and strange expression
fell across the pretty face.
"You are jesting, are you not"
the lady asked. "YOu do no

ST never was more serious il

thing that you call shawl"

The Tombstone Agent.

Like many other branches of

who often find it to their advan.

He had not the honor of being

he had heard him spoken of all

THE "BIVOUAC OF THE DEAD
BY THEODORE O'HARA.

BY THEODORE O'HARA.
The muffled drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo
No more on life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few;
On fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards, with solemn round,
The bivOuac of the dead
No r1mur of the foes advance
Now swel!s upon the wind
No troubled thoughts OF midnight haGnts
Of loved one left behind
No vision of the mOrrOw's strife
The warriors dream alarms,
No braying horn or screaming fife
At dawn shall call to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with rust,
Their plumed heads are bowed,
Their naughty banner, trailed in dust,
IL now their martial shrOud-
And plenteons funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And tie proud forms, by battle gashed,
The neighing troop, the flashing blade,
The bugle's stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful cannOnade
The din and shout are past
No wars wild note, nor glory's peal,
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that never more may feel
The raDture of the fight.
Like the fierce Northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau
Flashed with the triumph yet to gain
Came down the serried foe
Who heard the thunder of the fray
Break DER the field beneath,
Knew well the watchword of that day
Was victory or death.
Full many mothers breath has swept
Ger AngOstura's plain,
And along the pitying sky has swept
Above its molder'd slain
The ravens scream or eagles flight,
Or shepherds pensive lay,
Alone now wake each solemn night

Thus meath their parent turf they rest,
Far from the CORY field,
Borne to Spartan mothers breast
On many bloody shield;
The Sunshine of their sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred eyse and hearts watch by
The heroes sepulcher.
Rest on embalmed and sairted dead
Dear as the blood ye gave;
No impious footsteps here shall tread
The brrbage of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While Fame her record keeps,

Where Valor proudly sleeps

In deathess song shall tell,

A Kansas Bear Story.

Two years ago man by the
name of Hamilton, residing in
Douglas county Kansas, buried
his wife and commenced to mourn
and wear the look Of melancholy,
which none but a WidOWer knows
how to wear As the daisies OF
two spring times grew and faded,
the memory of the first wife per-
ished, and Hamilton grew festive
again as a boy in his "teens."
First he paid delicate attentions
to a neice of a Mr.. Bean, but she
appeared not to be smitten, and
his last visit resulted in his going.
away a sorrowful man. Next he
offered his bruised heart as an Of
fering to the hand of Mr.. Bears
daughter; who also told him she
never could dote upon form like
his. Determined to become a
member of the Bear family in
some manner, he at last went to
Mr.. B. and told him that he want

The ALLEGHANIANs.- The Alleghan-
ghanians gave another entertainment
at the Courthouse last evening. The
attendance though respectable in size
was not SO large as the evening previ-
Gus, and the performances were less
spirited and not so varied as on the
first evening. There was only a
slight change of programme, which
made it somewhat monotonous to those
who attended the first evening. A
troupe which has travelled SO extern
sively and bears such high reputation
as the Alleghanians would add to their
popularity and increase their receipts
in country towns by an entire change
of programme every evening. They
left to-day for Battle Mountain, where
they appear this evening, after which
they go to Elko.

THE FAIR GROUNDS.


still Doing TO Improve Them,
and Make the Fair "a Success.
Less than three years ago the idea
Of organizing an Agricultural, Mining
and Mechanical Society in this county
and holding annual fairs was conceived,
and two years ago it assumed tangible
form, when the farmers, stockraisers,
miners and the public generally, held
fair and exhibited the various agri-
cultural, animal, mineral aud mechani-
cal productions of the county. Last
year the fair was repeated on larger
scale, and the interest manifested by
the public in the exhibition, indicating
that its success. under proper manage
ment, could be secured, it was proposed
INCORPORATE THE SOCIETY
And place it on q permanent basis.
Articles of incorporation were filed in
the Clerks office, Board of Directors
elected, and the control Of the affairs
of the organization placed in hands
that looks lively interest in its success.
About $4,000 worth Of stock has been
disposed of and the Society is now
established on permanent basis. 1t
owns sixty acres of land on the Hum
boidt river, a short distance from the
center of town, and block of land
below the scho0l-house, on which it is
expected pavilion will be erected
within year.
THE FAIR GROUNDS,
Which comprise sixty acres OF level
bottom land are now being enclosed
with a good substantial plank fence,
eight feet high. Within this enclosure
race track, one mile in circumference,
has been built at cost of 81 900. A
grand stand is being erected for the
accommodation of spectators on the
ground. This stand rs sixty feet long,
thirty feet wide, twenty six feet high
at one side aud ten feet at the other.
1t will comfortably seat five hundred
persons, the seats being arranged in
tiers, one above the other, SO as to
afford all good view of the track.
The lower story of the building is
divided into five roolns for refresh
meuts, the use of which will be leased
during fairs and races. Opposite the
grand stand is the judges stand, three
stories high, the iirst for riders and
third tor the judges. Stalls are being
built for the accommodation of horses
entered for racing and stock of all
kinds entered for exhibition at the fair.
The grounds are supplied with plenty
OF good wafer raised by windmill
pump from well to sufficient
height to be- forced through pipes to
the stand and stalls. The track is
sprinkled daily with water from this
we'll, for the purpose OF getting it in
first rate condition ia time for the races.
THE IMPROVEMENTS
Are being pushed ahead with yigor;
some twenty men being now employed
on the grounds. Sixty thousand feet
of lumber has been used and several
thousand feet more will be required to
complete the work now laid out. Great
credit is due the executive officers of
the Society for the energy they have
displayed in disposing of stock and
raising the means to make the necessary
IMPROVEMENTS, aud particularly to j..
o. Ivory, Vice President OF the Society,
under whose supervision the works on
the grounds have been laid out and
constructed.
