Dress Reform.

A Boston genius has inauguerated
another dress reform. He proposes to
amputate the-the-the shirt; in fact,
that is-it's q kind of delicate subject
to discuss in the columns Of family
paper, but what this dress reformer
wants to do, and in his own case actu-
ally has done, is to amputate the-as
we said before, right about amidships;
cut off all that portion of the amend
ment, to speak in parliamentry phrase,
coming after, that is below, the word
tag, or, more correctly, the tag itself,
that fastens the shirt front down to the
waistband. He would thus dispense
entirely with the-ha-he would dis
pense wiTh it, you see, and have mere
ly the shirt waist-that is, without any.
It does appear to be waist Uokel OF
raw material, but whether the saving
would compensate for the brevity of
the garment thus curtaiied (another
joke) remains to be seen; or rather 1t
should not be seen-most certainly not
not in good society, anyhow; but the
fact is-however, anyone can see-or
NJ, the fact is you cannot see.-Bur-
liagtoB Ha,okeye.

Once dispute arose
Between the wind and sun,
Which one the greater was,
Which had most wonders done.
The wind did rise in rage,
The sun with fever high,
When the water did engage,
The doubtful cause to try.
"He is the greater one,"
Thus calm the water spoke,
"WhO makes the traveller
The first take OF his cloak"
The wind began at last,
With all mis- might again,
And blew his fiercest blast
O'er every hill and plain.
Then the travellers cloak was pressed,
Closer and closer round,
And 'cross his shivering breast
Tighter and tighter bound.
Then the sun came out so bright
And danced upon the streams,
Till the traveller felt the might
OF his warm and welcome beams.
And when his smile Mt last
Shone bright and brighter round,
The traveller gladly cast
His cloak upon the ground.
Then all the brooks went singing,
1.-THE sun, the sun is king!
His royal smile is bringing
Great Joy to everything"
And over all creation,
Persuasion conquors more
Than all the stormy clustering
OF authority's loud roar.
The coldest heart Is conquered
By the charm divine
OF genial manner,
And smiles sunshine.

a Rare Old Time.

Maurice Trauer, Of the Califor-
MIA Variety Store, knows some
thing about Kit Carson, but the
time in which he gained the knowl-
edge is associated in his mind with
some occurrences too unpleasant to
be talked ofoften.
Maurice says that when he knew
the old Indian fighter, he was a
man about five feet eight inches,
always dressed rather commonly,
clean-shayed face, light hair and
light gray eyes, a quiet manner OF
speaking and slouchy walk. He
smoked, drank and played poker,
but INDUCED all those little vices
but moderately and carried a cleal
head into every emergency. His
word was his bond with all who
knew him, and to this Trauel
thinks his great influence with the
Indians was mainly due.
Trauer was at Fort Stanton then,
