Nnnnleon,s Willow.

EX-prcsidcnt johnson, during his life,
received a twig taken from the willow
which bends over the grave Of Napoleon
Bonaparte on It. Helena, which he
plantcd i'm the garden of his late resi-
dencc. and which has now grown 10 2
stately tree. 4 twig from this tree VIII
be planted over the grave of Mr.. John-
son. on Johnson's Hill.
A quarter of a century ago one ire
aucntiy heard q grand song which nad
been written with Napoleon and that ~.
Helena willow m the text. Like hun
brcds of Others. with hundred times
more merit. il has been nearly forgotten.
we will quote some of the verses from
memory: -,
ON the long barren Isle WhtIe h' louu
Assails the stern rocl, and the fierce temp
est raves,
The hero lies still, and the dcw.dropping
willow,
Like fond weeping mourncr, leans over his
grave.
Though tcmpcsts may rave,
And the huarsc cannon ratuci
He heeds not hc hears not,
He's free from all pain,
He sleeps his last sleep,
Urhas fought his last battle,
No sound can awake him
To glory again.
Oh. shade Of the mighty-whcrc now are my
lcgions, a.,
That rushed hut to conquer when mo"
lcd'st them ouy
Alasl they have pcrishcd in FAR distant re-
giOnS, g.
And aii save the fame Of their triumph Is
gone.
Though tcmposts may rave, etc.
Yet, spirit immortal, the tomb cannot bind
thee,
But like thine own eagle that scared 10 the
sun, a.
Thy soul springs from bondage wa" '''
leaves behind thee
A name which, before thee, no mortal h'a
won.
Thnneh icmnr.ts may rave, etc.

New STYLES Of JeWelrY.

Like all other branches of toilet and
costume, jewerly is subject to the
changes and the vagaries of fashion.
The red and dark yellow gold are the
most fashionable colOrs for ladies' and
gentlemen's wear. The first is made of
gold and copper, with a tenth ot silver
for working, whilst the second is an
alloy of gold, silver and copper. For
ladies facted jewelry made into pend
ants, crosses and necklaces will be much
worn. This is made of either the red or
yellow gold, and is in some cases COM
posed Of alternate pieces Of gold and
platina-a material which is largely used
nowadays in the manufacture of ladies'
goods. Bracelets will be worn very mar
row, and in form will be square edged,
round, oval or half oval, while neck
laces are made with pendants or facted
balls and crosses. These and the brace
lets are made in either Etruscan yellow
or red cold with platina links. Chate-
laines of gold in Etruscan, variously
ornamented in japanese and other STYLES
Of work, including red gold perforated
work, and watches to match, are a de-
cided novelty. Earrings will be worn
larger in size, and are like all other Jew
elry of the period, facted and of either
red or yellow gold. Whilst turquois and
blue jewelry will only be worn by
blondes and persons of light complexion,
coral will be in fine demand and much
worn, particularly the light and more
delicate shades. Diamonds, as usual,
will continue to be worn by the wealthy,
there being no depreciation in the value
of fine stones. In gentlemen's jewelry
the same varieties and combination of
gold already mentioned will be fashion
able. Watches will be fat cased in led
gold with mOnograms enamel and studs,
and chains will be of various styles in
either red gold or red gold and platina
combined

CALIFORNIA CUSTOMS.
How a TuttIetOWu Nan Got u Seat In a
Coach.

The stage coach from Milton was about
to leave TuttletOwn after changing horses.
Every seat, both inside and out, was full,
except one, which was occupied by a
tourist wrapped in his supercilious dig
nifty and heavy linen duster. A resi-
dent of Iuttletown, wishing to ride to
Sonora, approached the stage and in
quircd for a seat. All full inside, }"
growled the tourist, spreading himself to
the full extent of his dignity and duster.
But you are occupying two seats" :"
argued the man from Jackass Hill
/ amt going to be crowded; pay
for my comfort and intend to keep it,"
Did you pay for two seats ?''
I've only secured one seat, but there
is no room for another in this coach, sir"
and the tourist settled himself back,
while the other passengers grunted their
disgust in tones not particularly vOcifer-
Gus but exceedingly deep.
You sg'e not acting as a gentleman
should, St1 nor exactly in accordance
with the etiquette efour rude California
society,"" calmly replied the man on the
outside, smiling in spiteof his annoyance
at the dog-in-the-manger style of this
boor.
Il don't hold myself accountable to
the society of California. l pay my way
and ask odds of nobody, and your in
ference that | am not gentleman might
be termed where | came from an indica-
ton that you wish to fight"
90 We don't fight in this country"
calmly replied the man from Tuttle-
town.
{" You don't. Then l must have been
misinformed. Pray, what do you do
when man insults you?" and sort of
triumph CLEANED in the eye of the
stranger.
"Do, why we shoot him on the spot
and that is the end of it. We don't
waste time after we start in. By the
way, think | can squeeze in alongside
of you there, can't Iw
"Don't know but you can," and full
half seat appeared beside the dignified
fool, as if by magic.
The Tuttletown citizen rode very COM
fortably from that hamlet to Sonora, and
heard no more about fighting from the
tourist, although remarks in regard to
" dead shots and the rapidity with
which insults are avenged in the Sierras
formed the staple of conversation among
the other passengers until they reached
the city hotel.
