ty-fve degrees, a c~onsumptive chest, a
pipe stem waist and a dropping attitude.
Just compare this illustration from a
fashion plate if you want to get an idea
of the havoc forty years AVE made in the
popular notion of feminine beauty and
charm. 1t is from Godey's Lady's Book
for July, 1850, and, since fashion cuts
are not bound to represent a particular
likeness, can be depended on to embody
the general conviction of the time as to
what forms tire greatest charm in wo-
man and to portray the general appear
ance of the woman of the well to do
classes.
The second cut is from the first bound
volume Of Harper's Monthly and repre-
sent the type of woman who meekly
smiled and simpered her way through
all the fashion pages of that time.
Whether the dropping attitude so uni
yersally adopted was supposed to convey
the idea of excessive modesty and the
timidity which was then esteemed as
woman's darling ornament, or was sup
posed to be graceful, is beyond the 1890
intellect. To the modern eye 1t gener-
ally suggests collie. Possibly the artists
of that day meant to express the idea Of
a flower drooping on its stem. The neck

be typihed by any other vegetable. Here
is another picture from one of the earliest
volumes of Harper's Monthly:
The amount of actual danger can be
inferred from the careless expression of
the darkey boy with his feet dangling
from the rock and the hilarious enjoy
ment of wind and air and scene ex-
pressed in the mans face. Considering
that he has three frightened women
hanging to him, he bears up remarkably
well. And they, poor creatures, with
their flying curis and ribbons and man
tillas, were really to be pitied, for even
If they were not us terrified as they
looked they had to seem SO. For the
woman who wasn't fearful, frightened
and clinging on the slightest %provocation

artists do not seem to have considered it
worth while to make pictures of her.

The woman of those days is represented

Did the people of forty years g real
ly think the women of that time vera
beautiful? If they did it only shows
that people can change their ideas more
quickly and radically than they can any
thing else. That is, of course, il the
magazine illustrations and other pictures
of the day reflected the popular idea of
a charming and beautiful woman.
/ have lately been looking over some
old magazines of the middle of this cen
tury, and the conviction was forced
upon me hat the maiden of 1850 could
not walk up Broadway in 1ss0-even IL
she were dressed in modern style-with-
out creating looks of wonderment and
filters of laughter as far as she went

The Illustrations of the day, magazine

for the increase of skill in illustrating,
it is fair TO suppose that the pictures OF

ought to look.

Who ever heard of green leaves
falling from a tree, and, after lying
on tho ground for a few minutes,
crawl toward the trunk of the tree,
ascend it, and resume their former
position? This was the spectacle
which greeted the eyes of some
English sailors, thirty or forty years
ago, while OIL an island of Australia,
and in regard to the very tree under
which they were restipg.> They fled
to their vessels as if panicstruck, and
did not stop q moment to. inycsti-
gate the matter. Subsequent explo-
~rations taught them, however, that
these leaves were insects. They live
upon the trees. Their bodies arc
exceedingly thin and flat, and their
wings form leaf-likc projections.
When the wind disturbs them they
fold their legs ur'lcr their bodies,
making their shape exactly like a
leaf, stem, and all complete. They
bear bright.green color in summer,
but change with tho leaves in the
autumn to a russell brown. When
shaken to the ground they lie still
for n few minutes as if dead, but
presently begin to crawl toward the
tree, which they ascend. They very
rarely use their wings, and hence the
name, "walking leaves"

Front street and other Localities the
Scene of Bloody ARRAYS.
1t was one of the hveliest that has been
experienced here in some time. There
were brawls and fights in all directions.
About II o'clock citizen met a man on
Front street who looked as il he had had a
fight to a finish with a thrashing machine
and got worsted.
His face and clothing were covered with
gore that flowed from terrible knife wounds
on his face and neck. There was one cash
extending from his nose across the cheek
and nearly to his ear, and on the other
side another long wound on his neck. he
refused to tell who he was or who had cut
him, but was on a sill hunt for his man,
with whom ne proposed to get even.
Along about midnight gang OF toughs
entered q notorious Front street resort
where some of the same element where
having dance. Some OF the new corners
tried to plant lighted candle on the face
of a drunk VINO occupied one corner OF the
room, when friends of the latter OBJ lected.
Then free fight ensned, in which dozen
or more men became involved.
II was very lively while it lasted, and
when the beer began TO flow again the floor
of the dance-h hall and the sidewalk were
strewn with dead drunks, temporarily
knocked out. There was lack of woman S
nursing-there was dearth of woman S
tears''-for the female element was as bel
ligerent as the other.
Other fights and scrimmages were re.
ported as having occurred in other quarters.

Sheriff ]. B. Endert of Del Norte county
arrived in the city yesterday en- route to
the Folsom Prison with two horse-thleves,
named G. NJ. Buck and Job Barber who GO
to serve five years each.
Sheriff Endert says that on his way
hither he met person who claimed to
know the prisoners. and he informed the
Sheriff that they were old stage robbers.
The men were csptured with great diff
Guilty. They were followed into Oregon,
and Endert and the Sheriff of Jackson
county came upon them suddenly in the
mountains The robbers were armed to
the teeth, and one of them carried shot
gun loaded with buckshot while the other
drove team attached to blackboard.
The officers were also well armed, one
having carbine, and he had drawn bead
on the men in the buckb board before the
one with the shotgun could bring his
weapon to bear on them.
Finding that resistance would be useless
they knew that Sheriff Endert meant
business-the fellows surrendered. They
are very desperate men, and doubtless
some cases of stage-robbing may be worked
up against them while they are in prison
Barber has served fifteen years SEN
