Cambria Costumes, Etc.

The furnishing stores display new
costumes of percale, cambria and
Scotch ginghams, trimmed with pleat.
ed frills of the material, on which fall
scant ruffies Of white Hamburg EN-.
broidery. The favorite design for these
is the pleated basque, with the pleats
extending far below the hips, and the
edge finished with embroidery. The
shoulders may have yoke in front
only, or perhaps only in the back, while
the front is pleated, but in most cases
there Is yoke both IN front and back.
The over-skirt has very long wrinkled
apron with soft drapery behind, and IN
most cases it is sewed permanently to
the lower skirt either at the belt on Just
below it. It is easier, however. to iron
such dresses when each part Is made
separately, and the effect is lust the
same. The bourette figured percales
in gray with blue, or bIsck ON white,
brown or navy blue, are most usod.
When American percales are chosen.
the suit Is sold for $3.50.
Cambria wrappers are also being fam
cifully made 1t the furnishing houses.

A Grand Swim.

One of the most remarkable esca-
pades of modern times is that of Henry
Johnston, of Clay County, who made
swim over the Missouri River, from
Kansas City to Harlem. 1t was the
reckless and daring event of the age.
The Missouri River, opposite this
city. is about half mile in width, and
is quite rapid, inasmuch as it whirls
RAPIDLY against the rocky bluffs at this
point after having rolled restlessly on
from the mountain 1000 miles above.
1t is one of the worst curves in the
river, and one of the last places which
could be selected to ferry the river on
horseback.
1t was about midnight when the
stranger rode down to the river bank
near the bridge. He was full of whisky
and quite loud in his EXPLANATIONS OF
disappointment W hen he was informed
that the ferryboat was not running.
He rode from the bridge to point
on the river just above the first pier,
and plunged into the current of the
Missouri River opposite Broadway. 1t
was not dark, for the moon was visible,
and the shouts of the reckless horse
man as he urged ON his horse attracted
the police and the night watchmen.
The current was so rapid that the horse
and rider made little progress across
the river until after the crib of the
swinging span had been passed. There
was nothing to be seen except the head
of the horse and the head and shoulders
of the reckless rider; those could be
seen on the surface of the current as it
floated by. The horse and rider dis
appeared from this side long before any
notice was received that either had
reached the Clay County shore. But
"blood will tell,'' and the mettle of
Johnston's horse saved its drunken
masters life.
About one o'clock Harlem was
aroused by cries for help on the river
bank, nearly opposite the school-house.
A man and horse were found mired in
the mud ON the river bank, and help
was wanted. The river bank at that
point is a slough of mud just now. and
the tired horse and sobered rider were
helpless and waiting for assistance.
Horses and ropes were brought, and.
with united effort of the citizens OF
Harlem, the reckless horseman and his
brave animal were taken from the
river. 1t is the worst case of mental
alteration on record. Johnston is at
home, under care of his friends, but he
will live in history as the man who

81 will Not Fail Thee, Nor Forsake
Thee"

EARTHLY friends may fail us; and il
we trust them, they will fail us; and
fail us when we most need them. But
he that putteth his trust in the Lord
shall be safe. God promised Joshua
that He would not fail him, and He
never did. He tried him. He allowed
others to try him. He made him pray.
He allowed him to fear. But he never
failed him in any struggle, but gave
him occasion and grace to appeal to Is
rael and say, Eye know in your hearts,
and in all your souls, that not one
thing hath failed of all good things
which the Lord your God spake con-
corning you; all are come to pass unto
you, and not one thing hath failed
thereof" Well, what God said to
Joshua, He now says to us. He will
rot fail us, therefore let us implicitly
trust in Him. He will not forsake us,
therefore let us boldly say, "I will not
fear what man can do unto me-" If
God will not fail, no matter who does.
If God will not forsake as, we can do
without the presence or help of any of
His creatures. But God will not fail
us. therefore let us rejoice in His name.

The Season.

The West has always been remarka-
bic for the peculiarities of its climate.
Its general characteristic, however, is
that it has warm, dry summers, with
much lovely weather in the autumn;
and very often wet, late springs, and
storms during the winter, severe in
their intensity of cold. The present
winter has, so far, been unprecedented
in the history of the West, for the last
forty years, in the amount of rain and
the absence of frost, succeeded during
the latter part of February, and up to
this writing, March 6, BY the softest
and most genial spring weather.
Journals are beginning to call attention
to the fact, that in 1843 the thermome-
ter ranged below zero all through the
month of March, and utter warnings to
beware. That winter was very cold
one. with the frost deep in the ground,
and heavy burden of snow over the
country. This year there is no frost,
no snow; the water of the streams and
lakes is warm, and the temperature Of
the earth is that of late autumn, rather
than that OF spring. We may have UNI
pleasant storms yet, but we can have no
prolonged severe weather. Frogs have
piped, OF and on, all winter, and the
robins, larks, bobolinks and other
spring birds appeared on the last day
OF February about Chicago. The win
ter wheat, and the grass. have grown
all winter, and no heaving has been ex-
perienced. The probabilities, there
fore. are, that we shall have another
season of heavy crops of wheat, and
deep meadows and pastures. With
favorable weather. the spring wheat
crops may be got in early, and, when
SO sown, the result is, as a rule, full
crops. 1t is to be hoped every farmer
will avail himself of this state of the
weather, if it lasts, to SOW without
delay.
The amount of rain which the West
has received during the last summer,
autumn and winter, would leave the
inference natural that We may expect q
change, and that the present season
may be suitably dry. EARLY spring
sowings give tolerable assurance Of
heavy small grain crops. A warm
june, July and August will make the
corn crop the great staple of the West
Immense. Another great crop would
put the West all right. Let every
farmer use his best endeavors to do his
part, and trust ii Providence for full
gnrners. Prdiyjs Farmer.

the BANNOCK WAR.

There rs no longer any doubt of the
uprising of the Bannock Indians. An
other war has been inaugurated in
Idaho which may prove much more Sc
rious than that of last year, as the
Bannocks are far more numerous, and
range through larger extent of terri
tory. than the. 1Nez Perces. Troops
have been ordered to the scene of hos
tifities from Walla Walia and Camp
Harvey. and the cavalry at Halieck
have orders to be ready to march at
moments notice. The campaign, will
probably be conducted by the War De-
partment on the same plan as that of
last year. A. few companies of soldiers
will at first be sent to the front, and
when they are annihilated or crippled
by the savages, larger force will be
ordered out. A large band of Ban
nocks are known to be on Trout Creek,
aud on the Owyhee south of Silver
City. SO far as heard from, they have
not murdered any of the settlers in that
region bat content themselves, with
killing cattle and taking what they
want from the whites. They are in the

and Harvey, and if they commence

Is to protect settlers on the frontier,

which it is not used.
