pleasure and surprise. The young folks,
'under tbs graceful leadership of Miss Ger

stepped to the music like drilled soldiers.
Not one in the % couple that took the
floor lost step or baked in any evolution.

gallery was filled with ladies and gentle
men looking on, while q good many OF
the elders we're down stairs, too. enjoying
the spectacle Of youthful grace and festiy-

visible on her countenance. A post NOR

Arabian Grass.

1t is claimed that Arabian grass will
grow anywhere without water and is
splendid for stock. If the grass turns out

grass that grows luxuriantly on the barn

lower ranch on places where there is no
water. 1t is the grass that has been
plan ted on the sandhills about San Fran

MRttOOn's Broken Bank.

NATION, H., Feb. l9.-Seven years
ago the Farmers and Merchants bank OF
this city failed swallowing up $93, 900 Of de.
positors' money. The assignee has not yet

complain bitterly Of loose management.
Although $50, 900 was realized from the as.
sets, only about 10 per cent. dividend has
been paid. There is handsome sum now
in the hands OF the receiver, but lawyers
have made claim to enormous fees, which,
with the receivers salary, will leave the
depostors little or nothing.
