A Bostonian's Daring Feat.

A dispatch from the City of Mexico
states that William b. Richardson, the
young Boston naturalist, has succeeded
in reaching the top of the volcano Coli
ma. The feat was daring one. Rich
ardson pitched his tent at the upper line
of pine trees and just below the lower
line of ashes and lava. The trees above
had all been burned, and it was impos-
sible to walk in the deep bed of ashes.
From this point Richardson and his In
dian followers could hear the sound OF
air from MI nerous rents in the side OF
the volcano. The Indians were much
terrified, and could he induced to remain
only by the earnest persuasion OF the
naturalist. One night during the erup-
tion they could distinctly see the deep
red glow of melted lava as 1t ran down
the line, fiery stream, burying itself
in ashes. trees, or in beds of brooks and
older beds of lava. One dense cloud oi
ashes covered the party thlckly' ana

NEAT CASHMERE FROCkS.
Lovely and Extremely Ser'iceable Gowns
for Little Girls.

Lovely and Extremely SerViceable Gowns
for Little Girls.
Cashmere frocks for little girls are
made with high round waists, large
sleeves and gathered skirt, with velvet
ribbon trimming The high bodice but
toned behind is shirred at the top in
row after row around the neck, finished
with double standing frill of the
cashmere instead of u collar; three or
four rows of shirring hold the fulnessat
the waist line in the middle of the front
and back. The full sleeves are shirred
around the wrists. The straight skirt
is simply hemmed. By way of trim
ming, velvet ribbon forms bretelles pass
ing over the shoulders, and ending at
the waist line in front and ba,k in two
small rosettes, one each side of the
middle. A bow of velvet is sometimes
added on each shoulder. Other high
waists have great deal of fulness
drawn from the shoulders, armholes,
and sides, to meet down the middle OF
the front in two narrow rutfles OF
the cashmere doubled, or else held
by buckle of jet, of gilt, or of steel.
The V space left below the throat is
filled in with velvet or with surah silk.
Still other cashmere waists have a
Jacket front cut off square above the
waist line, opening over blouse front
of India silk or surah, which is length
ened to droop slightly in the middle,
but is short on the sides. A hem four
inches deep is sufficient finish for any
cashmere skirt, but tucks and rows Of
velvet ribbon are also used. Pale Nile
green cashmere dresses shirred in the
waist, with bottle green velvet bre-
telles, are very pretty, while those OF
fawn-color, old-pink or gray-blue CASH
mere have black velvet bretelles.
Polka-dotted India silk frocks are
made in the ways noted for cashmere,
or else they have the baby waist cut
half-low and round in the neck, with a
narrow standing frill at the top, and
high-puffed sleeves, and are then worn
over a guimpe of white nainsook or OF
India silk. Plain or figured challis are
made up similarly, and trimmed With
gros grain ribbons. -Harper's Bazar.

FIGHT WITH A COUGAR.
A Hunters Terrible Experience In South
ern Oregon.


A Hunters Terrible Experience In South
crn oregon.
Intelligence has been received from
Southern Oregon of the unfortunate re:
suit of an encounter between hunter
and cougar. Ira Hill and companion
of jackson County had for several days
been encamped in the mountains about
ten miles distant from the Cow Creek
canyon. They had met with much sue
cess in the pursuit of deer.
Warned by the abundance OF signs,
they had exercised great caution Tor
their protection against the large car
nivorous animals which infest that place.
Mr.. Hill, it appears, on the day in ques-
ton, shot and wounded a large buck.
Notwithstanding the severe injury, the
animal, as it frequently happens, bound
ed away. Judging from the action OF
the deer that the bullet had found its
mark, tho hunter clambered down the
mountain side to the point where the
animal stood when the shot was fired
An investigation verified his supposi-
ton. Hoping that the shot would soon
prove fatal, he traced by the blood in
the trail the flight of the deer several
times seeing it, but never obtaining an
opportunity to finish him. Wrapped in
the excitement of the chase, time passed
unheeded. Nearly exhausted with the
severity of the labor, and despairing OF
success, he began to retrace his steps
NIGHT overlook him, and with 1t came
that peculiar, deathlike mountain
silence. The gentleman confesses that
he was overawed and frightened by the
solitude and gloom. After debating IN
his mind the advisability of halting for
the night, he decided to push on, hop
ing to find his permanent camp and re-
lieve the anxiety of his friend.
While descending ridge which ran
up from q dark and narrow canyon,
without any warning, he was attacked
by an enormous cougar. In this hand
to-hand conflict the rife was useless
Dropping that weapon, he drew his
hunting knife and made what effort he
could to defend himself For some time
they fought, with the advantage greatly
upon the side of the cougar. While
the struggle was at its height APP
preaching too near the edge OF steep
declevity, man and beast both went
rolling down the gulch.
Weakened by the loss of blood and
stunned by contact with rocks and
powders, consciousness forsook the
hunter. He remained in this condition
until we'll nigh morning. Remember
ing the strength and ferocity of his an
tagonist, and fearing that it still lurked
in the immediate vicinity, he remained
motionless until sun-up. When he did
arise no trace of the animal could be
found. Fearfully bitten, scratched and
bruised, he made his painful way to
camp, and thence to a point where the
services of surgeon could be secured.

KANSAS RAILROADS.

The board of railroad commissioners
has decided that ElDorado should have
the same jobbing rates accorded to
Wichita and Newton.
The railroad commissioners have de-
llvered an opinion in the complaint of
the mayor of Paola against the Kansas
City, Fort Scott, & Memphis Railroad
company. This is another case in which
one railroad company gives another
company the right to run it's trains
over certain portion of it's line, upon
condition that the company granted
such right shall do no local business
upon the line. The Kansas City, Fort
Scott & Memphis leases the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas line from Paola to
Kansas City upon these conditions, and
the mayor seeks to compel the company
to do local business for the accommo-
dation of the people of Paola. Con-
sistent with it's position taken in other
cases involving the same question, the
board dismisses the complaint.

ACCORDING to the Chicago Journal,
lady customer in a hardware store
rejected four or five pairs of shears be-
cause they squeaked. She was finally
suited with a pair that didn't squeak,
and went her way. As the accepted pair
happened to be one of those first re-
fused, the salesman was asked how the
metamorphosis was effected. "That,"
said he, SIS one of the very simplest
secrets of the man who sells shears.
Observe this" He picked up a pair
of scissors which "squeaked" woefully
when worked Then he ran his finger
thoughtfully down the side of his nose
and rubbed them over the scissors,
which came together as gently and
noiselessly as though saturated with
oil. "There is always little oil col
lected in the corners on the outside of
ones nostrils," he said, "and when a
customer complains that a pair of
shears squeak they can be oiled up
without exciting suspicion"

The boys who serve as pages in the
House and Senate at Washington are
lucky lot. There are sixteen of them
in the Senate and thirty-three in the
lower branch. Their ages range from
9 to Is years, and they each get $3.50
per diem for their services, which
means about $500 year. In addition
to this regular stipend they pick up a
good many odd dollars in the shape Of
gratuities from the Senators and Con-
gressmen whom they serve with
alacrity. They all wear knickerbock-
ers, and are bright lads. Senator Cor

Womeniin the Alliance.

Advocate:
The part which women in the alliance
may play is an important one.
Much, indeed most, of the work
which the alliance was organized to &C.
complish can be materially aided by
their enthusiastic devotion to the order.
Because most of the large measures
upon which the betterment OF the far
mers' condition depends must be sought
through legislation, it does not there
fore follow that women can do nothing
towards their attainment.
All of the questions upon which the
demands Of the alliance are based are
essentially home questions. They are
questions in which the wives and the
daughters are as v:tally interested as
are the husbands and the fathers.
The spirit of our dauutless revolu-
tionary foremothers is as strong in the
American women of today as in the
days of '76. 1t is only needed that
women be fully informed as to the grav-
ity OF the situation for them to rise to
the full measure of past heroism.
Alb, the questions are essentially
home questions. True they branch
out into the political arena, but they
have their roots, and must bear their
blossoms and fruitage, or their wither-
ed leaves and bitter blight, by the ''ain
fireside.'
