taken, and for evening wear white is

Yet with all its attractions Daw-
son lacks one thing still, there are
quantities of married people and
numbers of charming girls, but
gOHng specimens of The Genus Homo
are very scarce; ii is true that on Sat
urdays and Sundays the place is en-
livcned by "our own dear drummcrs,"
but the rest of the time their pres
ence is made conspicuous by their
absence. Their visits are like those
Of the angels, sweet and fleeing, the
sunlight of their presence only makes
deeper the following gloom. The
beauX we have are most charming,
It's not the quality but the quantity
we deplorc; especially in dancing do
we feel the need of more gentlemen
and it would not be bad idea for
the Co. to hire some elegant society
men, for this purpose, as they do at
large parties in the cities.
The greatest beau we have had is
Mr.. G. Z. Brumer.
"a gentleman of ty-four,
Or ilfty-fyc or may be more;
He never told his age, but let conceal
ment-well no matter,
His hairwas iron gray, but fine
Asunspun silk, the only sign
That Father Time recorded, save
That daily he grew fatter."
But he has left lis "sad and lonely"
and now our "mashes' are usually
on baked potatoes.

The first regular train passed over
the new bridge at Henderson Mon
day morning. Capt, Chas. L. Wood
was the conductor who was accorded
the honor of first crossing the bridge.
The structure is one of the finest
bridges in the world and the cost
was nearly 100000. 1t connects
the northern and southern lines of
the L. II n. system and materially
shortens the time between st. Louis
and Nashville. The run is now made
in twelve hours and from Chicago to
Nashville is made in sixteen hours
on passenger trains and thirty-four
on freights. The people of Henderson
are making arrangements to get up
a grand demonstration to celebrate
the completion of the bridge.
