FASHION

The newest gallons are velvet and
chenille.
Some of the bandsomest fringes are
wool and silk chenille, mixed.
Monograms are now embroidered on
the backs of gloves and mittens.
One of the favorite colors is an ex-
tremely dark blue, called "Admiral's
blue"
The latest bonnets turn up over the
forehead aud down over The ears, and
have satin strings to be tied under the
ear or chin.
One of Worth's happiest creations is
a fete dress of dark green poult de sole
with overdress of rich green velvet and
satin broche.
The new igh.crowned felts have
gauze wells of the same color twisted
around the crown, one end being left
long, to pass around the throat.
Two colors are no longer worn i'm a
suit, the effects of light and shade being
attained by intermixing with self-col-
ored silks brooches, neigeuses and gran
lite cloths.

THE Rail- THIS EVENING.

Tonight the grand event of the sea
son takes place at Bigelow's Hall. We
refer to the ball Of Eureka Hooks and
knickerbocker Hose companies. The
members and different committees
have made elaborate arrangements for
the comfort of their guests, and those
attending can promise themselves a
pleasant and agreeable time. The hall
will be handsomely decorated, the
floor canvassed, and the cloak and re-
firing rooms in charge of ex perienced
and polite attendants. The Land will
be led by Frank Riegelhuth, first vio-
lin; Eugene Millimsn, econd violin;
Chas. Rawson, clarionet; Phil, Cberuw,
piano, and Otto Kaufman, cornet. All
of the above are artists in their line,
and, as a string band, hard to beat.
The opportunity of listening to their
melodious strains is well worth the
price of a ticket. All the balance of
the details will be first class, and our
citizens should literally patronize the
party. About the only appeal for sup
port that our gallant firemen make to
the public is through the medium of
such entertainments, and it should be
the duty of every one who has the in
terest of the town at heart to purchase
a ticket, ever il they can not attend.
The fremen are always prompt to the
call of duty, and risk their lives in
endeavors to save the property
of residents. To their unselfish and
untiring efforts the town owes its i'm
munity from devastating conflagra-
tions. and the organization is to-day
one of the best on the coast. Unfor-
tunately the companies have been lett
to struggle along without the aid that
should have been extended to them,
and are in debt and the treasury empty,
and the apparatus at the mercy OF
who have just claims against
them. This is a state of affairs that
not obtain, and if our citizens |
will respond literally on the present
the company car be placed
on a sound and effective footing. A
committee were ca~uvassiDg the town
yesterday selling tickets, and will re-
new their rounds to-day. When they
visit you don't fail to purchase one of
them, and you will have the conscious
ness OF having contributed your mite
10 a most worthy object.

During the past week a ont and SOL
itary duck took possession of the res
ervoir in front of the Consolidated
office, and swan ~contentedly over the
placid surface undisturbed by the
racket of machinery in close proxim-
ity, or the passage of wagons on the
roads that run on each side of the
pond. The boys became quite fond of
the wild bird, and by untiring efforts
succeeded in tanning him sc that he
would come to the bank and eat crack
ers and bread thrown to him. 1t was
fondly believed that the duck would
remain unmolested, but the opportun-
ity was too much for an ardent sports
man, who, on observing the game,
s~traightway hied himself to the locality
armed and equipped with a shotgun,
and covered himself with glory by
making a long-range shot III feet) and
blowing the poor duck into a thousand
or more fragments. The employees ad-
miniStered a hearty cursing to the
mighty hunter, and the fellow sneaked
away with a much less opinion of him
self than when started nj on his ex-
petition. Another of the webfooted
species made its appearance in the res
ervoir Monday, and it will not be a
healthy trip TO the person who at
tempts to add the new ome to his
game bag.

We have never seen Charles Lever,
though we have been within reach OF
him several times. Any one who has
read his books can easily see that,
united o never failing Irish viii. Lever
was a INDUSTRIOUS dreamer, and some
of his highly imaginative sketches
were but caricatures of truth, more
readily recognized thant the truth itself.
We had a friend once, Alfred Bergh-
manns, Secretary of Legation to the
Belgian Minister, and afterwards
Charge de AGdtres, who had often met
Mr.. Lever in London and on the Con-
and described him az a pro-
fessed "diner out" a BON Uicont. who
paid for his wine and dinners in Don
nots, and who would borrow a guinea
as unblushingly as he would ask a
bar maid to chalk a score. His impe-
curiosity compelled him to live abroad
most Of his life, to escape a debtors
cell; but his acknowledged talent and
6oah0mie made him a welcome guest
everywhere, as the acknowledged tai
of Oliver Goldsmith got him the
of the best circles, though, as
Garrick said, ''he wrote like an
angel and talked like poor Poll. Oil
YER was a conceited fool; Lever, a
wit. His books never produced
him a decent income, though of late
have made large sums in
he republication of his popular stories,
and trading on the brains of a man
who knew nothing of business and
who acquired habits of extravaganza
early life above his means, which
good management should have
been ample. DR.. Mckenzie, of For.
Press, knew him intimately. and
him once TO us as the .sbig-
,est dhramer" he had ever met. "He
made hobbies III of the thinnest
ghosts of horses you ever laid two eyes

yet, with all his extravaganza, Lever
given to the world a good many
hours of amusement. His "Charles

busy brain, urged in most cases by ac-
necessity, form a class of reading
which takes hold on the uncultivated

At the Play.

A number of the boys congregated
at the Hall Monday evening to witness
the performances of the Two Orphans.
They were Of modest and retiring dis
positions, and took seats in the rear OF
the room, on the gallery benches, and
waited in perfect silence the rising OF
the curtain. Each held a pure white
pocket-handkerchief in his hand,
with to wipe away the tears they
expected to shed ove the pathetic play
that WAS to be rendered. Unfortunate
ly they could not discover where the
weeping came in, but their sympathies
were aroused at the desperate efforts
Of the local talent to remember their
lines, and whenever the volunteers
appeared on the stage. they wildly and
vociferously applauded their entree, in
order, as n of the crowd remarked.
ito kinder encourage their aspirations
for histrionic honors." Between acts
their hilarity knew no bounds. and
several well-known and modest resi-
dents were woefully embarrassed,
when walking down the aisle, by be-
ing greeted with round after round of
cheers, cat calls, and other mild dem
onstrations. Judge Harmon expressed
the opinion that they were a lot of d
roosters; Billy Walker threatened to
shut off their credit at the Cor
ner Chop stand; and Bony
| Ayres offered to fight the
whole crowd, if they would just step
outside for n moment. The manager,
In despair, entreated them to leave the
hall, wen offering to return their mo-
ney at the door. but as they were all
deadheads that proposition did moi
have the desired effect. Eugene Blair,
who sympathized with the troupe,
came to b rescue, and invited the
five orphans out to take a drink. That
dodge fetched them; and as Eugene
had been ''heeled" by the proprietor,
he ran them into Jim Kellogg's saloon,
and by setting up the drinks every few
minutes soon had the gang entirely OBJ
livious of the theater or any other
event. Yesterday not one of the par
ty would acknowledge being present at
the performance, and, in fact, ex.
pressed much surprise when they
learned that a show had been in town.

MISSING.

, When the Sawtelle troupe got ready
to leave for Austin yesterday morning
It was discovered that a member of the
company was o est, the young Miss
who figured in the bills as Miss Viva
France having secreted herself with
the evident intention Of abandoning a
theatr ical career. Mr.. Sawtelle, who
claimed the child as his daughter, inn
mediately instituted a vigorous search
for the lost one, and after the lapse OF
= couple of hours found Viva at a res
idence on Spring street, where she had
gone without the knowledge of the
lady of the house. and esconsed her
self i'm the wardrobe, i'm the hope of
evading her parents. The lady, upon
finding her in her place of conceal
ment, advised her to return to her
father, but the poor child begged to be
allowed to stay. During the onver
sation Sawtelle knocked at the door,
and or being admitted approached the
child and deliberately knocked her
down, and as she fell to the floor he
kicked her a half a dozen times with
his heavy boots. The poor girl begged
for mercy, but the brute had no such
quality In his composition. She strug.
gled to Der feet only again to be felled
to the floor, Sawtelle, in the meantime,
exercising his vituperative powers to
the full bent, and threatening his
shrinking victim hat he would put it
out OF her power to run away in the
future, as he would break every bone
in her body. Unfortunately there
were no men in the neighborhood TO
interfere, and the fond father, after
firing himself out in administering the
whipping, dragged her to the coach.
which was waiting at the door of the
Turner House, and putting her aboard,
jumped on himself and rapidly drove
out of town. When 1t is remembered
that the girl is a slight, delicate child,
only IL years of age. the reader can
draw his own conclusions as to the
brutality of the whole affair, and as a
testimony to his cruelty, the blood
staining the door frame, is a silent,
but very effectual witness. Viva, in
giving the reasons for her attempted
runaway. told a most pitiful story. She
states that she does not know who her
mother is and has no recollection of
her, but supposes she is dead. Saw
telle claims her as his child, but judg-
ing by his treatment, every spark of
fatherly love seems to have forsaRen
him. she has been brought up in ig-
norance, being barely able TO read, and
has been whipped upon the slightest
p~rovocation, such as no being perfect
in her lines, etc and her persecution
by her father had rendered her life un
bearable. The poor child in her misery
knew not what step to take, but having
become acquainted with the daughter
of the lady IN whose house she took
refuge, she entrested her companion
to conceal her, In the vain hope that
she would be left behind by her guar
dams aud protectors. The assault yes
terday morning was witnessed by a
number of ladies', and the main Incl
dents related to us by lockers on.

Tom Dixon Graves above another, it is
a good cigar, and his wants are made
known to the clerks in Clark's store
whenever he favors that institution
with a visit. The boys fixed up one
for his benefit yesterday, charging the
end with about half an ounce Of rifle
powder. Ii is an old trick, but new to
Tom, and its effects were somewhat be-
%wildering. He took about three good
puffs. when the explosion took place,
and it left him with only the butt end
in his mouth, and a very small hold at
that. He scouts the idea that it was a
small giant powder cartridge that was
given him by mistake, and ~insinuates
"thst for ways hat are dark. and
