A CHANGE IN DANCES.

The Chicago Tribune sites that
a reform in dancing will take place
this season. The reform is certain
~ needed. The reform movement
has made its appearance in fashi n
abe circles in England and has
been fayorably receised. Thepolka,
the schottische AMI the waltz are to
give place to the German lender
and polonaise, as danced at the
German Court. A dance called the
cournelle has also been introduced
at the English Court balls, and is
expected to create furore when it
finds its way over here. This is
the natural result OF the galop and
ridiculous racquet that turned
bathrooms topsy turvey last year.
We suppose moie wild and reck-
less hul!aballoo of dance might 0e
invented than the racquet, but it is
difficult to conceive it. SOf al forms
of dancing that is the most barbsr-
GUS The spectacle of wild.eyed
maidens md fierce men tearing up
and down a room all out CT breath.
dripping with perspiration. work
ing like beavers, was one that ex
cited a feeling Of sympathy and
pity. If stately and respectable
style of dance comes in again it
might take away some of the fun,
excitement, fatigue and immortality
Of the wilder dances, but it will
substitute temper and grace. Both
of them are now needed in the aver
age ballroom.

ONE FOR THE GRAxG EFs

The war between the grangers
and the hydraulic miners over in
California, or, as the papers over
Ion that side put it, the slickens and
the anti-siickens people, is being
waged as fercely as ever. The
other day Judge .Keyser, Of the
Yuba Superior Court, decided a
very important matter in favor of
the graugers in the case of Yuba
County vs.. the Eureka Lake and
Canal Company. JAS. X. Byrne,
who appeared for defendant, claimed
that service of injunction made
ON defendant by serving papers on
defendants attorney, the manager
Of the mine, Mr.. Bigelow, being
absent, was void. Judge Keyser,
who is supposed to have strong
anti siickens sympathies, decided
that the injunction bad been law
fully served and that Mr.. Bigeiow
had not obeyed the injun ction.
The Court fined defendant $3.50.
