Montana Cattle Shipments.


Northern Pacific statistics show
that during the shipping season of 1883
there were 1,77776 car loads of beef cat
tie shipped over the line from points
in the Yellowstone valley between
Mcclellan station and Livingston. OF
this number $50 car loads went from
the Miles City stock yards. Eastern
Montana stockmen, in estimating this
years shipments, put the number
much higher than that Of last year,
and the lowest estimate given is. 2.300
car loads. or about 10000 head. The
largest shippers will be Hughes &c
Simpson, who alone will send to Chi

Details of New Dresses.

Snrah skirts to wear under Marie An
toinette polonaises, Uarper'S Bdzn
says, have the front and side breadths
tucked to the waist with tucks two inches
deep, while the back fullness is held in
two large double box pleats that are not
tucked. This is pretty in mushroom
brown satin surah for the skirt, with an
ecru polonaise caught up on the sides
with brown or red satin or velvet rib
bons. Black surnh skirts with lace polo
masses are similarly made, and have red
or black velvet ribbons. New short
over-skirts with wrinkled apron front
have the back made Of two scarf-like
breadths that are each caught up Just
below the belt to form a round puff or
rosette, which the French call a chou,
or cabbage; the ends drop thence low
down on the skirt beneath. Plaid and
striped velvet skirts will he worn with
polonaiscs OF various thin materials, and
Pay-colored bars on green, black or
brown velvet grounds are stylish for
these skirts. High standing collars of
dresses have small throat bow of vel
vet ribbon Just beneath them-not on
the collar; these collars are now cut with
out aseam behind, and are very high. The
sleeves Of new dresses are only slightly
bouiiant mt the armhole, but all are
quite high on the shoulders. Some new
basques are edged with cord of passe-
mcntcrie in one color, or in two twisted
together. The box. pleated fronts and
sides of silk skirts are ornamented with
separate large pieces of passementerie
representing palms or flowers, and these
are set on quite near the foot. or else in
rows up the entire pleating. Velvet rib
bon forms Greek border on otherskirts.
The ecru net and batiste skirts are
prettily made up with lengthwise bands
of sapphire blue ribbon ending in bow
orrosette at the foot, and are worn with
washer-woman polonaise of blue surah.
The side points called pepums are
found on many new basques and polo
masses sloplng away from a separate vest
OF velvet, lace, or pique. The effect of
an undersleeve already mentioned il not
confined to lace or net but is made also
of surah or other soft silk in puff and
wristband added TO sleeves Of the same
color. Many basques are without pos
tilion pleats, but have the three back
seams left open below the waist line, and
filled in with lace frills that are set
underneath. Some new skirts have the
pleats on the front very broad, often
measuring fourth of yard in width.
The newest flounce for finishing the foot
of a plain skirt is bias, gathered, and
about eight inches deep when finished.
1t is an inch-wide hem, and two tucks Of
the same width. 1t is gathered in two
rows at the top, and the top is turned
under to hide the seam by which it il
sewed on, and thus dispenses with any
heading. Finally it is tackled below to
the skirt at intervals of eight or ten
inches, forming curves like organ pleats,
and the tucks are caught upward by
this tacking. This founce is handsome
for victorieuse or other rich silks.

A Useful Weapon.

that he was nearly thrown forward over

description, 81 got of and looked about
to see what the trouble was, and soon
found about rod ahead q huge rattle
snake asleep across the roadway, his
head down the slope on one side, and
his tail in the gutter on the other. l
tried to make the pony jump the snake,
but he wouldn't bulge. There wasn't

TO get a good start, took running jump,
leaped over the snake, ran to the sap
ling, grabbed it with both hands, ran,
swinging it over my head, back to his
slumbering snakeship, and whacked him
right across the neck, breaking it at once

assistance il caught in the belt OF ice.
Ships whaling near Point Barrow have
the ice well off shore, and, when they
believe themselves 10 be perfectly safe,
they may be caught by the ice closing In
on them On Icy Cape. There are thirty
seven vessels in that region this year.
They sailed at a value Of $50, 600 apiece;
but, should the catch prove to be OF any
value, they will be worth fully $50, 600
each. Owners Of vessels here and the
masters express general regret that the
station was abandoned, and hope in the
near future to see some action taken
toward establishing small practicable
life-saving station near Point Barrow.
The buildings are already constructed,
few efficient men could perform the SER
vice, the cost of transportation of pro-
visions, ETC., would be nothing-at

RUSSIAN CONvICrS' PLOTS.
Attempt TO Seize n Transport ship An
luforncr's Eyes Gougcd Out.

The Odessa correspondent Of the Lon
don Ddiiy NemS gives m account of
convicts' plot to seize the Nishai Nov
gorod, one of the largest vessels OF the
Russian volunteer fleet. The vessel has
been engaged for some years past in the
transportation of convicts to the penal
settlements Of Saghalen. On her last
outward voyage she had on board he.
tween five and six hundred convicts, tho
most desperate characters being con-
fined in huge cages between decks. One
of the cages was situated Immediately
above the ships armory, and the inmates
having possessed themselves of couple
OF large nails, managed to cut circular
aperture through the flooring. They had
secretly succeeded SO far in their enter
prise as to be able by a slight blow to
drive in the almost severed portion, and
were waiting only for midnight to de-
scend singly, arm themselves, shoot
down the guards, and murder the ships
crew, when one of their number asked
for an interview with one of the officers
and disclosed the plot. Measures were
Immediately taken; but the informer,
despite his entreaties, was thrust back
into his cage, where mis- eyes were
gouged from their sockets with the nails
with which the convicts had cut the
flooring, and he was subsequently res
cued, more dead than alive, in shock
ing condition. The Nishni Novgorod
left Odessa on March "a for Saghalien
with 800 convicts, political and crmi-
nal; but she sailed short of one of her
convicts-a man transported for murder
A few days before the vessel started the
man, having no doubt heard of the plot
mentioned above, asked for an interview
with one of the ships officers in order to
disclose conspiracy. The convict in
sisted upon the officer writing down his
statement, which the latter at once pro-
cceded to do; but rs he seated himself
and bent over the paper the convict
raised a short iron bar, previously con-
cealed in his sleeve, and Glove the Off
GERS skull, killing him on the spot. The
convict is now awaiting second trial on
the capital charge.

The party were obliged to chisel the ice

regularly every ten days. During each
winter there was removed in this way
from three thousand to four thousand
pounds OF ice. On the inside OF the
building the temperature was very even,
rarely falling below fifty-eight degrees
Fahrenheit. No difficulty was expe-
rienced in keeping the house warm, and
consequently there was no accumulation
OF ice on the inside walls OF the building,
except when wooden or fur articles OF
clothing were suspended against the
walls; then the articles would freeze
solidly thereto, with the temperature at
sixty-eight and seventy degrees. The
