EIadstone's Policy.

To us it does not seem that the mo-
tive of Mr. Gladstone in his latest
change of policy lies so deep in the sea
of doubt that it cannot be grappled for.
The telegraph brought to us graphic
account of the mood of. the House of
Commons at the time of the premier's
announcement of the adoption by his
administration of a policy of reconcilia-
ton. The governmental party met the
announcement in silence, which was full
of meaning, while the opposition greet
ed it with sarcastic applause. The
manner of Mr.. Gladstone himself was
very different from his usual cool, conf
dent bearing, as with downcast visage
and in faltering accents he made known
his fat Afterward, while he smarted
still under the sense of humiliation
ranking within him, while half repent
ant, not only that he had resolved to
proffer reconciliation but that he had
actually taken step which necessitated
his keeping onward in the way he had
chosen deliberately, there came to him
the shapeless thought, possibly followed
by the wish, that something might occur
which would permit him to revoke the
move that might bring ruin to himself
and his colleagues.
While the prime minister was in this
humor the sudden taking off of the two
Secretaries brought to him temporary
opportunity-an opportunity which un-
hesitatingly he grasped. Here were
the men to whom he had extended the
olive branch answering the proffer with
assassination, proving beyond the
shadow of a doubt that the Ireland
which he had brought himself reluct-
antly to consider might be governed by
fair means deliberately chose not to be
amenable to anything short of the most
stringent measures of repression. Human
nature is the same, everywhere and at
all times, but in this case the natural re-
action is greater than could have been
expected. Nor is it possible that Mr..
Gladstone can be unconscious of the ex-
treme bitterness which pervades the
Irish bill of wrongs, which will become
q law undoubtedly.

The Fashions.

Little girls wear wide white neckties
Fans have kittens heads painted on
them.
Colored grenadines will be worn
again.
Corded silk rivals satin for brides
dresses.
Derby felt hats are worn by eques-
triennes.
Lace open work is newer than clocks
on stockings.
Dresden china brooches are used on
black slippers.
Black stockings are now more stylish
than colored ones.
Patent leather low shoes will be worn
in the summer by ladies.
The newest cloth goods have round
spots as large as the palm of lady's
hand.
Mother Hubbard styles are now con-
fined to morning wrappers and night
dresses.
Fruit and flower designs in close print
ed patterns appear on new Isle thread
stockings.
Embroidery in the form of small red
rosebuds appear on colored and ecru
Balbriggan hosiery.
Dark and black straw hats will be
much worn with all sorts of costumes,
including very light colored ones.
Sailor suits of navy blue flannel foi
girls wear are trimmed with military
gold braid and small round gold but
tons.
Very long mits in all shades of colol
will be much worn as the season ad
vances. The silk and Isle thread glove!
of this season have very long wrists.
The wearing of a jacket bodice O
cashmere, novelty silk or velvet with
any kind of a skirt is an excellent plan
for utilizing the skirts of dresses, the
corsages of which have been worn out
Velvet throatlets are much worn and
will probably continue in vogue as long
as the Princess of Wales, who revived
the fashion, remains long g-necked slen-
der woman. Fat women with short
necks cannot adopt this fashion.
A novel dress is made of scarlet surah,
cut princess shape, and completely
yelled, with black chenille in diamond
open-work patterns. A scarf of the
chenille, bordered with very wide
chenille fringe, is laid in TRAVERSE folds
across the skirt in front, and, being
caught up in the back with large jet
clasps, falls in double shawl points over
the back breadths.
Various shades of gray will be much
worn the coming season. Steel gray
will be adopted by elderly ladies, while
softer hues, showing a sheen of pearl or
silver, will be used for youthful wear
ers. A very handsome dress, designed
for stately matron of New York city,
is made of ''winter sky" silk, with Louis
XIV. bodice of the same, and panniers
of rick black lace. Over the shoulders
is draped large bertha of the same
lace. A second dress is of the most del
icate shade of silver gray satin, with a
triple-plaited ruche around the foot of
the skirt. The sharply-peaked bodice
is trimmed with pearl point
applique lace. The sleeves are
very tight to the arm, and over these
are to be drawn very long pair of sill
yer gray dressed kid gloves, which are
to reach just above the elbow.

English Humor.
[ B. Nye's Boomerang !

The London Spectator says that "the
humor of the United States, if closely
examined will be found to depend in a
great measure on the acendency which
the principle of utility has gained over
the imaginations of rather imaginative
people" The humor of England, if
closely examined, will be found about
ready to drop over the picket fence into
the arena, but never quite making con-
nections. 1--we scan the English literary
horizon we will find the humorist up a
tall tree depending from a sharp knot
thereof by the slack of his overalls. He
is just out of sight about the time you
look in that direction. He always has a
man working in his place, however.
The man who works in his place is Just
pairing down the half-sole and newly
pegging joke that has recently been
sent in by the foreman for repairs.

Federal Aid.

Various bills are before the House
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds, the total amount of appropria-
tions called for being somewhat in excess
of seventeen millions of dollars. To all,
or most all, of the appropriations there
can be no very strong opposition, but we
cannot quite comprehend the fitness of
giving to Carson one hundred thousand
dollars for a public building, and
to Denver double that amount for a
postoffice only, while Los Angeles is to
be put off with but seventy five thousand
dollars for building intended for all
federal uses.
All of the Pacific States together have
not a single member on the Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds, while
New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois,
States to which nearly one-half the ag-
gregate appropriation is apportioned,
have two each. The Fourth district of
California has a Representative jim Con-
gress, we are informed, but then it would
be too much, perhaps, to expect him to
look after such matter.
On the whole we shall have to be sat
isfed, probably, with what the gods
send US and, as the appropriation bill
will, doubtless, become law, it may be
well to be thinking about site for the
Federal building. 1t has been suggested
by some persons that the quadrangular
piece of land now occupied by the
Court House would make the best pos
sible site, since its central position and
isolation from other building would
make postoffice-to us at present the
most important adjunct of a Federal
building-of easy access from all quar-
ters of the city. Others, again, might
dislike to see our stately Court House,
with its noble proportions of a pre-
classic style of Architecture, its quaint
chimnies and picturesque clock tower,
brought in sorrow to the ground.

The White River OverflOw-Fear
full Destruction of Property.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, May l3.-The
Gazette's Jacksonport, White River,
special says: A destructive overflow has
visited this section. The water stands
81 feet s inches above low water mark.
There is not a foot of dry ground in
town, except Jefferson street, which af-
fords refuge to all the stock the citizens
possess. Quite number of families
have been compelled to take refuge in
upper stories of storehouses, while the
country for miles aronnd is one sea of
water and the damage to crops and
stock is away up in the thousands. A
large portion of Oil Trough and Big
Bottoms are under water and the dam
age to the wheat crops is terrible. The
present food is the highest since 1867.
If second rise should come, goodbye
to everything. The weather is clear
with a strong northwest wind and hopes
are entertained that the worst is over.
A Gazette special from Batesville.
Arkansas, says: This section has been
visited by a terrible rain, commencing
at o'clock Monday evening and con-
tinuing in torrents for twenty -four
hours, without a moments cessation,
swelling the rivers and creeks to a
height beyond the knowledge of the
oldest inhabitant and sweeping away
everything before it. Mills, houses,
bridges and fencing have all been
washed away, utterly obliterating the
entire crop on the bottom lands. Not
only the crops but the soil is all gone,
leaving only the bare clay surface.
Mansfield & Bros wooden mill, valued
at 10000, and Smiths fourmill, valued
at So, 900, are both total loss. Ruther
ford's mill is damaged to the extent of
$1,000. A number of other mills have
not yet been heard from, but all are be-
lieved to be total loss.

Sixty eighth Streets, and was taught to
follow the movements of his interlocu-

with as great distinctness as person
whose hearing is perfect, but neverthe-
less quite intelligibly. In a converse

The Snake River Falls.

For two or three miles above Sho~
;hore Falls the river flows through iHa-
mense chasms, with walls on either side
hundreds of feet high. The river is
full OF rapids for miles, the descent be-
ing SO great. At the upper Shoshone
Falls, known as Twin or Little Falls. the
river is divided BY an island. and the
two streams rush over the precipice and
fall into the pool US feet below. As
viewed from the bluffs. hundreds of feet
above, the sight is grand, and from be-
low there is still more to admire and to
awe the visitor. Some four or five miles
down the river and we come to the great
falls, where the entire river descends in
one sheet 210 feet. We remember
roaming around Niagara Falls, the rap
ids and other places of interest for sew
eral davs once. and with all that there
is to admire and excite our wonder,
there is as much, if not more, to interest
the visitor to this portion of Snake River.
and should this place be connected by
railway with the outside world this will
become a great resort for travellers.
Some thirty or forty miles down stream
is Solomon Falls. extending quite dis.
tance. The greatest of these falls is only
about twenty feet. but the forms and
the great number of the falls and cas-
cades make it very beautiful. But
short distance above these falls is the
| most remarkable sight we have ever
seen. In the high bluffs along the river
| there issue numerous great springs,
| the waters of which fall over the rocks
and are lashed to silvery streams and
spray in their descent. The first OF
| these pours over cliff in semi-circu-
lar form and falls over $50 feet. As
seen from the opposite side of the river
it is very beautiful. Further down the
river it is much grander sight. A
stream of water equal to that of a small
river pours out of the bank and falls
over the rocks in silvery streams of al
most every conceivable shape and form,
while the spaces between are lined with
green moss and shrubs, so that it pre-
sents an appearance of an immense
grotto. These falls cover space of over
100 feet in height and several hun dred
| feet in width. Further down the stream
for over one mile other similar springs
issue, and each possesses its own feat
ures of beauty. Where this vast body of
water comes from is a question that will
probably never be solved. Lost River
enters the Snake River Valley at point
| up sIream over 1oo MlleS ulstdu1' anu
there sinks out of sight in the lava.
Other streams along the western and
northern borders of this vast lava plain
for distance of nearly 200 miles come
in from the mountains and sink. These
ited.streams would probably furnish
as much water as pours out of these
J springs, but no single one of these
streams would supply any of the larger
springs. so it is only speculation to as
sumo that the source of supply comes
from any particular stream.-Cor. O'na-

Trout Frozen in q Block Of Ice.

Al the Office of the Virginia City and
Gold Hill Water Company, YESTERDAY
afternoon. was on exhibition block OF
iee ip which were frozen several trout.
The Ice was frozen by the company's
ice machine on the Divide. The trout
were almost as plainly visible as though
they had been suspended in air. They
were in natural attitudes, and appeared
to have congealed without knowing that
anything was happening to them. As
all their spots and colors were distinctly
visible, and they stood immovable with
tails and fins expanded, they would
have formed u splendid study for an
artist. Indeed. we think that there is
hint that painters of such subjects
should not neglect. Bets were made
that they would thaw out - alive and
kicking" and the block of ice was ac-
cordingly placed in . tank and allowed
TO melt, but ut last accounts the trout
were lying on the bottom apparently
quite dead. Artificial freezing was ev'
identity too quick and sharp for them -,
