How the Daughter of a Rich Miner Got
Her Wedding Present..

How the Daughter of a Rich Miner Got
Her Wedding Present.
Colonel Hart, manager of the Cornucopia
mine of Neihart, told Leader representa-
tive an interesting little story the other
evening Here it is: Zone of the principal
owners of the Mollie Gibson mine at Aspen,
Colo. had daughter who was married a
few years ago. Shortly after her return
from her wedding trip she went to her
father and told him she wanted house.
The old gentleman. after a few moments
deliberation, said: My girl, I'll tell you
of any two men In the mine you may select
The bride thought this was rather a
slim allowance from one who could we'll
afford to be generous, and she was not
slow to express the disappointment
which she felt. The young lady was
very popular with the miners and when
they heard of the proposition which their
chief had made to his daughter, they held q
meeting and selected the two best workmen
from among their number. These two
worthless presented themselves before the
young lady, and, after vast amount of pre-
liminary bowling and scrapng, the spokes-
man addressed her as follows: Say, Miss,
if you will only choose us two fellers you'll
never be sorry for it, Well git an everlastn'
rustic on US and we will stick the old man
like - for you. You can just bet your
sweet life we WILL She selected these two
men, and on the appointed day they did git
an everlastin' rustic on Them and they sue
ceeded in sticking the old man to the full
extent of their promise. Ore TO the value of
S31, 900 was taken out by those two miners
in one day, ana one OF the very finest man
sions in Aspen was the result of their toll

leaves that have turned red and bronze.
Each leaf has been pressed and spread
open and attached with little glue to the
pale, creamy brown wall, making a frieze
that is aglow with color, and seemed the one
thing that was needed to complete the effect
OF the open fireplace, the deep window
seats and the dark oak finish of woodwork
and furniture. The leaves, the artists say,
will last even through the winter, and will
not lose life or color or turn dull.
But meant to tell you what we are to
wear. Many of the autumn dress goods are
very rough In texture. They show stripes
and checks and big, startling patterns.
There Is cloth that is called hail and
Storm" You do not wonder so much at the
title when you see that the stripes, which
take slanting direction as if blown by wind,
are contrived to represent alternately snow
fakes and rain. II does not seem to me that
personally should care TO venture out from
under cover in such rough weather gown.
Cheyiots and tweeds with brOadcloth
facngs seem likely to be much worm
Fabrics Of fine texture are sprinkled, as a
few seasons ago, with spots of long camePs
hair. The color combinations present some
few novelties. For example, fawn-colOred
cloths have pale-green borders. heliotrope
is used on brown, gray or black. biscuit on
deep red and black on green.
Rep, or what was once called rep, Is
brought forward again this season. 1t Is
sold in lengths to be made up with the UNI
brella cor extinguisher" skirt, of which /
think ] have before had somewhat-and
that not compimentary-t0 say.
Plaid dresses are thought by the modistes
especially adapted to the umbrellas" for
the front can be cut on the straight and the
back on the bias of the material.
Long boas are revived, If one can use the
phrase of things that have not been put
aside wholly, even during the hottest of the
summer, for the early days OF fall. The
prettiest, perhaps, are those OF black cock s
feathers mixed with bronzy bits of pea
cocks plumage.
There is queer rumor afloat, almost
queer enough TO be true. They say-they
who always speak with such anonymous yet
irresistible authority-that long gold chains
will be worn about the neck, carried to the
left shoulder, then to the waist and so to the
watch pocket, after the fashion Of many
years ago.
Millinery Is not yet shown in any guam

wings, and with long wells of white crepe,
which come from the back and fold about

DEATH IN THE DESERT.
A Mexican Lad Perishes From Thirst |
Lower California.

Lower California.
Luis Feliz and brother, former owners Of
the Las Cruces gold mine, returned few
days ago from prospecting trip on the San
Felipe desert, on the gulf coast, and tell of
the death by thirst OF Benito Cessna, a
Mexican boy who was one of the party.
They had been gone about two months and
were 100 miles south of San Felipe when
Cessna and a Chinaman, with mule and a
burro, became separated from the rest OF
the party and wandered off. The mule and
the burro soon died from thirst, and this left
the boy and his companions in sad plight.
They had to carry some of the utensils
which had been packed on the animals, and
being unacquainted with the country, I'M
able to find water and travelling over the
desert under hot sun, they suffered in
teusely. Succor seemed to be near at hand,
however, when they came to the gulf shore
and saw schooner at anchor about ten
miles out 1t was useless to attempt
to attract the attention of the men on
the vessel at that distance, and the China
m an constructed a raft from the drift wood
along tue shore, tying the pieces together
with RATA, and struck out for the schooner,
overlook the raft when five miles
out, and the Chinaman being ex-
hausted and unable 10 proceed,
fell asleep. and when morning came he
found he had drifted on an island. His raft
had Deen seen the evening before by the
sailors, and they rescued him from the
is land in the morning and took him ashore
The boy, Benito Cessna, was found dead
near where the Chinaman had left him, and
his distorted features and cracked and
swollen lips told of the terrible sufferngs
that had racked his poor body before death
came to his relief. The Feliz brothers came
up to the spot soon after, ana when the boy
had been buried on the bleak desert beside
the blue waters of the gulf and in sight of
the pine-clad shores of San Pedro. where
cool springs abound, the party turned their
faces toward Alamo. where they arrived
after several days.-Los Angeles Herald.

4 German Under Novel Conditions-What

Dresses and Millinery.
Special Fashion Letter to THE SUNDAY CALL.

New YORK, Sept. 7, 1871 am planning
to tell you about barn party, and also
about the first costumes finished for autumn.
The barn party shall come first, by your
leave. 1t was given at Lenox, and
those of US who went from New York to
enjoy it found the big, lofty, sweet-smell-
ing barn full of clover-hay piled high
on the mows, and hung with draperies OF
gay print in red and white stripes caught
up with long red ribbons. Bunches OF
brown cat-tails. oats, grasses, goldeDrod
and cardinal flowers were placed against
the hangings. 1t was a new barn, and the
floor was a fine solid one Of matched pine
planks These had been waxed and oiled
for dancing, and great parti-cOlored Chinese
lanterns hung from the rafteTs. Benches
aud settees were ranged against the walls
and covered with fur rugs, buffalo robes
bright-cOlored lap-robes and gay shawls.
There were colored tiddlers on the little
platform built up in one corner for the mu-
sicians, and the costumes Of the fresh-faced

any idea what they are? Drill cores you
think, but they are not.
Originally they were solid oak timbers IL

thicker than walking stick upon removal
after having seen years of service? The
weight Of the mountain bearing upon them

the polished stick. Sometimes these trans
formed timbers are found in small sections,
sometimes in long pieces, and are taken out
where cave-ins have occurred and displaced
the workings.-St. Louis Republic.

girls who whirled In the waltz were notably
pretty, perhaps because almost invariably
simple.
One young girl wore a plain full white
muslin skirt, with waist aud short panierS OF
pink lawn and full white muslin sleeves.
Her straw poke bonnet was lined with pink
tule and trimmed with pink roses.
Another costume was a skirt of white
linen lawn sprigged with red, with white
null paniers looped with red ribbons. The
b oh bodice had full vest Of red crepe de
chine.
The most elaborate toilet saw was worn
by young woman who looked like Lillian
Russell. II was a white muslin printed with
fall asters in shades of pale purple and
lilac, and worn over an underdress OF lilac
siIk. The muslin was rather oddly
founced with light guiDure lace, and this
was caught up prettiIy, if not altogether by
necessity, with rosettes of lilac ribbon.
The bodice was made of guipure Insertion
and muslin.

ner will please rise up and explain few
questions with reference to certain subjects
upon which Democrats throughout the in
terror of the State desire information.
Question number one: Is it fact that
the Examiner, through its owners and its
managers and by means of its editorial and
news columns Is at the head of a conspiracy
to cheat Grover Cleveland out of the support
OF the California delegation in the next Ma
tional Democratic Convention?
Question number two: Is 1t fact that
this conspiracy is to be carried into effect
cisco, Alameda, Los Angeles and Sacra-
mento counties in the State Convention
which shall select delegates to the National
Convention against the rest OF the State,
and by promises and corrupt means secure
a majority of the State Convention against
Grover Cleveland?
Isit fact that the San Francisco EXAM

play the part of Joab in the Democratic
party Of California, and with its golden
sword shed the bowels of Amasa to the

are Democrats from principle, would like
to have the Examiner answer these ques-
tions.

wonders wrought by Pressure.

The enormous depth OF the great Conn
stock mines in Nevada and the gigantic and
incomprehensible weight of the mass of
stones ard earth resting upon the timbers,
which actually hold up the mountains that
have literally been honeycombed by the
miners, have wrought wonders which puz-
re the deepest thinkers. For instance,
queer polished sticks, as smooth as dressed
mahogany and not thicker than your wrist,
are often taken out of deser ed portions of
the mines. They are as hard and as heavy
as iron, and knife Of the best material will
