Throw Up Your Hands.

Gentlemen will please throw up
their hands," Such is the polite man.
ner in which Missouri train robber
usually addresses q car load of passen-
gers as he appears at the door, playfully
covering them with revolver extended
in each hand. Perhaps there is party
engaged in q game Of euchre or old
sledge: they promptly throw up their
hands without q murmur, no matter
how interesting a crisis there may be in
the game. Men partially paralized in
their arms have been known to throw up
their hands at this summons with an
alacrity surprising to themselves and
everybody else. -ia.r 3v'fs
''Thfow up my hands r. said q man
who was relating an experience with
train robbers that he had been through.
ST had $4,000 in q belt around my
body, all that had made in six years
Of mining life in California, and when
/ heard the command and realized how
useless resistance was, as the gang sur
rounding the car was armed to the
teeth, not only threw up my hands,
but the thought Of loosing my money
made me so sick, that / nearly threw up
my bootsl"
The situation does't admit Of q mo-
menfs hesitation, and every man knows
it. A movement in the direction Of q
weapon would not escape the alert eye
of the robber and it would be the
immediate signal for shot. Brave men
think aud braggards boast Of what they
would do under such circumstances,
but when suddenly confronted by q
cooked revolver and the stern COM
mand that signifies surrender, the hands
are very apt to go up, though the situ-
ation be humiliating one. Such At
tacks are generally made at night while
most Of the passengers are asleep and
off guard, and then there is the uncer-
tainty as to the number Of the gang.
Jesse James once said the bragest man
he ever knew he encountered in an at
tenptto rob . passenger train. The
fellow stood on the platform Of q car
and cody exchanged six or eight shots
with the gang. Admiring his bravery,
jesse shouted to him to cease firing and
they wouldn't modest his car. "T'll bet
you won't" said he, "whils I'm here"
The rob5er captain said he would have
given So, 900 TO have had that man be-
come q member Of his band. But he
did not consider that man. brave Is .
lion on the side OF right might prove
the veriest coward IN hdvancing the
standard Of violence and vrong.-lOin-

Ballade OF a COquette.

She wears most bewitching bang
Gold curls made captive in net;
Her dresses with precision hang,
Her hat observes the stylish set;
She has poodle for pet,
And drives dashing drag and pony:
know it, though we've never met
I've soen her picture BY Sarony.
Her phrases all are fraught with slang,
The very latest she can get; :
She sings the songs that patience sang,
Can whistle airs from "Olivette,"
And, in the waltz, perhaps, might let
You squeeze her hand, with gems all ston,
know it, though we've never met
I've seen her picture by Sarony.
Her heart has never felt loves pang,
Nor known momentary fret,
Want never wounds her with his fang;
She likes to run papa in debt;
She'll smoke slender cigarette
Sub rosa with favored crony:
know it, though we've never met
I've seen her picture by Sarony.
ENVOY.
Princes, beware this gay coquette
She has no thoughts of matrimony:
know it, though we've never met
I've seen her picture by Sareny.

Anti.Malarial Plants.

Another plant possessing antiImalarial
properties, as alleged, is receiving public
attention. This is the iussieus grandi-
flora, or floating plant of the bayous
and lower lakes of Louisiana, which has
been long observed to prevent the de-
velopment of malaria in regions peculi-
arly adapted to its generation. The
claim is put forth for it that it purifies
all stagnant water in which it grows |;
that the lakes and bayous inhabited by
it are singularly pure to the sight, taste
and smell, and that to its presence and
its undoubted hygienic or health-pre-
serving qualities is to be attributed the
remarkable exemption Of the people Of
lower Louisiana from malarious or mias-
matte diseases. It is also stated that
in the region thus reputedly preserved
from such diseases there are more stag
nant waters and swamps than in any
part Of the country.

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
Fashion Notes,

FAbutOn NOIeHs
Vandyke red is in high fashion this
summer.
Chine surahs are counted with the
newest fibrics.
Oolored wells are worn, but they are
unbecoming to most faces.
Dressing uniformly with bridesmaids
is getting to be out of fashion.
Lace mitts are in order; black mitts
for grown people and colored ones for
children. m
A fancy Of the moment is to have the
parasol, fan, gloves and hose to match
in color and decoration.
A bunch of artificial radishes appears
upon new French bonnet of dark
green straw. faced with rose pink.
A new and pretty material for sum-
mer dresses is crinkly. silky Grape,
called diamontine, which for evening
wear is made up over suran and trim
med with Spanish lace.
Large white null shawls with en-
broidery in each conner and some block
figures Of drawn work are worn by ladies
in the country at church, on the piazza
and in open carriages.
Tinted satin skirts, with pointed front
breadths and lace tunics, drawn open to
show the tablier and held back by
sprays of French flowers, are very ele-
gantly worn for balls and dinners.
Among other fancies is that of fasten-
ing the corsage with tiny, bullet-shaped
buttons, set on less than an inch apart.
The buttonholes are made by machinery.
Sometimes there is double row of
buttons.

l performed an operation of trans
planting under romantic circumstances
on certain occasion, says Philadel-
iphia dentist. Ayoung lady, as pretty
as peach, and a fne-looking young
fellow GAME to see me one morning.
After no little hesitation they told me
they were betrothed and that he was in
the army and was gcing away to the

indians. "And we are very unhappy at

are," almcst blubbered he. 1--WE heard
Of transplanting teeth, and want You to

ment, and'I attempted to reason them
out of their foolish proposition-both

they insisted, SO extracted one of her
largest back teeth and one of his smallest,
and changed them about. Hers fitted
in his jaw all right, and he went off q
few days afterward to his post with his
lady loves molar. His tooth, however,
would not stick in, for within q week
the young lady came back with her face
dreadfully swollen. I reduced the in
fammation and eased tine pain, but
could not replant her lovers fang, and
she went away with it wrapped up in
paper. Oh the Inconsistency Of women.
Six months after she married man old
enough to be her father. When the
young lieutenant subsequently returned
he Indignantly told me Of the manner
he had been Tilted, and requested me TO
Immediately extract his false loves
tooth, which did, and he threw it in

A Cherokee Belle.

There are some remarkable types of
beauty among the native Cherokee
women, says correspondent, which will
account for the fascination which they
have exercised over white adventures
from the earliest contact Of the two
races, and which has caused the large
intermixture of white blood SO notice
able in the present condition of the
nation. One of these was conspicuous
among those in attendance upon recent
gathering. When I saw her she sat
with a companion upon the trunk of a
fallen tree engaged i'll the familiar oc-
cupation of Pleasant Riderhood in
twisting her shining black hair, which
had fallen down. She was dressed with
great neatness in o white jacket and a
clean print gown, with chip hat and a
red ribbon around her throat. When her
black locks were arranged they lay
Crisped like war steed's inclosure
over low brow, which they swept with
q natural wave. The features were of
barbaric beauty, and Of tropic mold Of
contour, which the full lips and high
cheek bones emphasized, but did not
dis6gure. The small, rather black eye
glowed with a steady fire, and the whole
aspect of the face might be described as
radiant and grave, yet full of animal life
and power OF passion. Her complexion
was Of rich walnut color, with the
blood giving red stain to the cheeks,
and showing SO clearly as to suggest a
realization Of the graphic Irish express
sion that ''the point Of rush would
bring blood to her cheeks" This was
Miss Eagle Brown, the daughter of
Hunter Brown, thefull-blood Cherokee,
and one of the finest and most charac-
teristlc types of her race.

A Novelty i'm Silk Culture.

A friend Of ours recently gave little
four cocoons and told him to
put them in a box until they turned in
to butterflies, when they would lay
their eggs and should hatch them by
artificial heat. --- put them in
a box as directed, and after due course
of time obtained the eggs. Now, what
does he do put them under a setting
hen, and the startling result was that
he saw the hen cackling and scratching
around the yard with a whole brood of
worms following her. The problem of
feeding was now to be solved, and he
managed it by tying a bunch of null
berry leaves to the old hens back.
That was few weeks ago, and now
the old hen is literally covered with
cocoons. says that his hen
is the prettiest in the State. We do not
vouch for the truth of this assertion,
not having seen the hen, but we be-
lieve it to be a fact as is too
voung to imagine such thing. Those
wishing to see his hen had better pay
him a visit ere the cocoons are shed
and they fly away to happier spheres.

FIELD TRIALS AT OPELOUsAS.-The
New Orleans Gun Club held meeting
on the 10th inst, and decided to hold
field trials for pointers and settlers on
quail, (Which we call partridge here) at
OpelOusas, some time next winter. D..
w. Jackson of this place was appointed
on,the field trial committee, and he will
be pleased to furnish all necessary in
formation to any of our local sports
men who would like to enter their dogs
for the trials. The time for the trials
has not yet been fixed, but it will hardly
be before December. The national
field trials begin at Grand Junction,
Tennessee, December 4th, and will last
probably about a week; and as our
trials are to be open to all, the time will
probably be fixed for them to come off
Immediately after the national trials,
so that those attending there can come
here without the trouble and expense
and loss of time of making two trips.
This place is now easy of access by the
Morgan railroad from New Orleans, by
the Louisiana Western railroad from
middle and southern Texas, and by
the Texas Pacific railroad from North
ern Texas, and the Red River section
of this State. We anticipate there Will
be a good attendance at the trials,
which it is intended will be held an
nually; and there are probably no bet
ter places for them to be held than along
this line of railroad, between New
Iberia and Alexandria. We hope the
the sportsmen of the State, and of this
section especially, will get their dogs
ready, and enter and run them. We
will have more to say on this subject
hereafter.
