Not Quite as Picturesque a5 Painted 5
 Sentimental Tourists.
 It is with grief that 1 remind my untraveled reader that in Venice the gondnla is the cab. Is the cabman Q poetic object-a person to whom you would indite lyrics or elegies? Itrow moi. But, on the other hand, the gOn- dolier, unlike the London oabman, has his redeeming qualities. He is pict- uresque. He used to be more so in the days when he wore red silk stock ings and blue silk jacket, and when the boat he propelled was as gay thing as himself Ho is also very amenablo to civility. He will quarrel with the portly Briton who speaks no language but English, and after 8 row tenders in payment sum of money he deems unworthy of him, though 1t be in excess of the tariff. But the quar- rel will be all on his side, and it win soon dissolve away into resonant laughter as he invites his copper-col- ored comrades to share the spectacle of the Briton walking of as II he heard not word of his p,ea- The cabman, in such a case, would of course proceed to maledictions, and perhaps go further still. Indeed, when all is said. the gondolier is not a bad fellow though, like the pigeons, somewhat spoiled by being photographed in his boat by en- terprising amateurs 8 hundred times in the year. But in spring, notwith- standing the romance of them, one is not strongly attracted toward gondola or gondolier When a bora is flowing upon the city from the mount ains behind Trieste. and all the lagoon is under blue-gray haze, chilly and thick, one is prone to think of fires, not aquatic expeditions. And many a martyred paterfamilias and his wife, who, at their eldest daughter bidding, have inelegantly wriggled into the boat, and, aided by the smil ing, compassionate oarsman, judicious- ly dispersed their offspring about the remaining space thereof, are as eager to leave as they were unwilling to en- ter it If they can be induced to make another suca excursion, they take wool for their ears and enough wraps for a regiment-reckless of the daughter 5 indignant demur about "how it will look" A playful form of compliment which tho gondoliers bandy about when they are displeased with each other brings mo to another character istic of Venice. If, in conveying his party through the ''canaletti, the oarsman clashes with boat coming in the contrary direction, he will proba- by call his enemy the son of Q dog, ," as well as much else. ~-Cornhiu Fdag&-

THE MAN OF FASHION.

How Hi5 Tailor Should Fit Him Out for
 Spring and Summer.
 The three-button cutaway frocl1 coat will remain the popular semi-dress gar ment. The single-breasted sack coat is as popular as ever, especially with three buttons instead of four, corners slight ly rounded and cut away and 9 long, narrow, shapely roll. The edges are stitched rather wider than usual, in some cases the stitching being as wide as fve-elghths of an inch, but the ay- craze is about one-half an inch.
 There will be a moderate number of double-breasted sack coats worn, es- pecially in blue and black cheviots and serges. The popular garment seems to be four-button, with shapely Prince Albert lapel.
 In spring overcoats, the prevailing garment will be the box coat. This garment is about thirty-siN inches long, made with handsome treble stitch or plaited seam, with the back cut full and shapely, the entire garment hanging gracefully from the shoulders. The roll is long, and in beautifully modu- lated lines, with buttOnhole in the left lapel especially arranged to hold a boutonniere. The cuffs are stitched a la Parisian, with three buttons fitted into three handmade button-holes, making a pretty and novel effect.
 Vests are cut five button, long, shape ly roll, and not exposing too much shirt front, with neatly-notched collar. The edges are stitched the same width as the coat.
 Trousers are being cut trife mar rower than heretofore, slightly tapering from the knee to the instep.
 For quietly dressed and elderly gentle men, the single-breasted, one-button cutaway, cut with flaps at the waist line, and the regular length, single breasted fly front, silked faced over coat, hold their own as heretofore These garments are made in solid black worsteds and cheviots, corl1screws and diagonals, and many combinations of modest mixtures.

Human Bones and Gold,

An old prospectOr went over on the Smith river late last fall, starting from Drain. While there he was hurt in the hand by an elk, and, during a short search fdr @ place of refuge among some rocks on the side of canyon, he found au opening be- hind Q thick bunch of brush, which he entered and lit a little fire to make some tea. Imagine his surprise on looking around to find the bones of three men and an old rusty pick, the handle Of which had rotted away. The pick suggested they hadbeen min ing. The old prospector took some earth from the floor and found, after pam ming out, considerable gold, but as there seemed to 0e none in other parts of the cave, it must have belonged to one of the men. No clothing or other thing was found. Then" said the narrator, T tried banning out tine earth in the creek near by, and got about seventy-fve cents, but as my grub was giving out and winter set in, 1 returned up the river to ScOttsburg, and then to Drain, but will go back again next summer.

The CALDWELL TRIBUNE has Or
ganized a Sheep Mems Exagge,a a.
ton society in that enterprising
town, and reports that several
Owyhee people have become con-
spicuous figures at its meetings. If
Bob Noble, Den Driscoll, Tim
Shea, Dave Weir and other promi-
nent wool growers of Owyhee have
so far forgot themselves that they
have Joined a society where the
biggest liars are promoted to the
highest positions, it must be that
the alkali water they drink over
there has entirely changed their
natures. They never, no, never
were given to stretching things
here at home. We are inclined to
believe all the whoppers credited
to them originated in the fertile
brains of the versatile gentlemen
who edit THE TRIBUNE.
The following bit of fact and
philosophy is from the Cassia
County Times:
"Perhaps great deal of this
self-laudation is due to politics and
political parties. For instance, if
Secretary Blaine performs a simple
set of officials with foreign nations,
republican journals having an eye
to his possible presidential candi-
dature, never tire in sounding his
praises and contrasting his superior
emartness with that of foreign
while on tho other hand
if it be democratic official, with
presidential prospects,, democratic
journals assume the same role. OIL

Robbed of His Roll.

LEAvENWORTH. June 30.-Three
confidence men who swindled Farmer
Stephen Trice of Lathrop, Mo-, out of
$4,000 Friday had been in Leavenworth
for a week previously and Conductor
Mensey of the Rock Island thinks he
would know them if he should see them
again. One of the men wore heavy
beard. While here they stopped at the
DelmOnicO.
Farmer Trice had piece of land
worth SIS an acre. The confidence
men represented themselves to be ST.
Louis capitalists and made him an offer
of $50 an acre. paying him 81 900 down.
Having closed their deal with Farmer
Trice, they told him that they had some
land near Lathrop that they would sell
at bargain. Trice knew the land was
worth more than they offered to sell it
for, and having disposed OF his own
farm at such profitable figure, he drew
So, 500 from the bank and started with
the men to buy.
In wood near Plattsburg the capital
lists met some confederates, and all
Joined in little game except Trice,
who refused to play. "You will play"
said one of the party. A sack was
thrown over his head and he was then
robbed of all his money. The capital
lists drove him home, threatening him
with death if he told anyone until
twenty four hours had passed. Farmer
Trice kept still until Sunday, and then
told the story.
