These reflections, though quite con-

with Mrs. Bruins views. The rising

Hour after hour passed away, and, as

BLACK SILK. DRESSES.
They Are Again becoming Fashionable
and Drcssy.

They Are Again Becoming Fashionable
and Drcssy.
The black silk dress is again coming
into fashion, and the costume which
for so many years was the special pride
and pleasure of the woman of moderate
means returns as the companion for the
soft wool in which we have all taken so
much comfort. The weave of silk is in
finitely varied as also is the quality, as
many rs two hundred and fifty kinds of
black silk alone being shown in one inn
porter's stock in New York City. One OF
the new ideas is dress of striped dag
onal, woven both ways. To make this
dress, half of the amount required must
be made from one piece and half from
the other. The stripes are woven to
match perfectly, which adds mach TO
the ease of fitting them.
The regular grades of gros-grain,
faille fracaise and plain twills are
among the most useful and popular
qualities. The newer and more eXpen-
sive sorts are in very heavy cords, and
while they make extremely elegant
dresses, they are nothing like as dura-
BILE as the closer-woven cords. A great
deal of attention has been attracted to
the new bengalines. These are very
heavy, esembling old-fashioned Irish
poplins, to some extent, but very much
richer, finer and of better quality.
They ,are, of course, made with wool
filing, but are none the less durable or
stylish ON that account, indeed, they
are said to wear longer than when
made of all silk.
There are extremely desirable grades
of domestic bengalines and silk in mar
ket, chief among which are the Regat-'
tas, which are thought by those whos
have tried them to be vastly superior to
the imported fabrics. Among the lead
Ing blacks are brocades with floral de-
signs in black and colors. There ars
also changeable silks, and many desra-
BILE sorts in lightweight and plain and
| fancy weave. India silks in black and
colors will be in very general demand
for honse-dresses during the entire win
ter. The fancy seems to be growing
for lighter-weight materials for indoor
wear, especially for skirts, India'sille
skirts with velvet bodices seem some
what incongruous, but will, neverthe-
less, be feature of the new house cos

Speaking of hunting" said hunter,
reminds me of a little fun l had some
four or five years ago
"Three of us, more or less sportsmen
and all jolly fellows, were stopping at
small place on the eastern shore of
Lake St Clair. 1t was in November and
the ducks were pretty thick We did
some great shooting that season. can
tell you.
"One day the landlord announced that
a nephew of his, a young man just over
from England, was coming up for few
weeks sport, and he guessed we'd find
him pretty near dandy on the shot
swell, pretty soon the young fellow
arrived, and our first glimpse of him de-
cided everything The boys said they
didn't believe he had ever seen a wild
duck, much less shot one.
"He was one of your swell hunters,
all logged out in corduroy jacket and
high top boots, with one of those pat
ent-reversible fore-and-aft caps and a
pair of eyeglasses astride his nose. lie
showed us his gun, double-barreled
pistol grip thing. and blowed pile on
it's fine qualities and of the wonderful
execution he could do with it. 1T came

Would he go after ducks with us in
the morning? %. yaas, he fahncied' he
would, though it wouldn't be much
sport; he was accustomed to shooting
woodcock, and ducks flew so beastly
slow.
"Well, we fixed up things among our
selves that night. We picked out some
of our oldest decoys and anchored them
out in bayou short distance from
shore, then turned in for the night.
''Our friend was up bright and early
next morning and was anxious to show
his skill. We made some excuse about
not being quite ready, but told him
that il he would go over to yonder
bayou he might get shot before break
fast. He put off with much splashing
of paddles and great show of caution
and was soon out of sight in the reeds.
| Allowing him time to reach our decoys,
we followed and soon heard the sharp
bang! bang of his gun. Before we could
reach him we heard another double
report Exploding with laughter at the
success of our scheme we hastencd to
the spot"

"No! Say, he had bagged four as

year does not fall short of 1877, 900, 900.
Next come the tramways, or horse cars,
which transport in a year no fewer than

of passengers moved from place to place

john Bland Dead.

Sunday afternoon DR.. Lee was
called to the bedside of John BLAND
the old gentleman who for so many
years has been tine guardian of the
Mexican ditch which conveyed the
motive power to the Me xican quartz
mill in Empire.
John was suffering from a severe
attack of the cholera morbus when
the doctor arrived and was in great
pain. HIS condition grew worse to
wards evening and at 7:30 he died.
There are many men and boys still
living who have frequently enjoyed
his liberality and accepted his bed
and board. No one was ever turned
away from his door hungry, and
many times when the snow bound
traveller knocked for admission John
let HIM in and provided well for him.
Never on these occasions would
he accept cent compensation and
his farewell was always come again,
and make yourself at home"
He was surrounded by horses.
chickens, ducks, dogs, cows and
geese, and not a single bird or beast,
but what showed some sign of salts
faction at his appearance Every
boy who ever fshed along the Car
son River knew John Bland and
loved him. The same to all, friends
with everybody and unkind to no |
one.
The deceased was aged 69 years
and a native of one of the New En-
gland States. The funeral took
place in Empire at 2 P. NJ. yesterday,
Rev. Geo. r. Davis officiating. The
aides sang appropriate music and
he last sad obligations were mingled

New Guests.

Eleven new guests arrived at the
Mccullough House yesterday to at
tend the stag party which has been
on for some time, and have signifed
their intention of remaining from
one to five years. All of them have
been engaged in the lucrative bust
ness Of selling liquor to Indians, and
having made small fortunes conclud-
ed to retire for time.
The Mccullough House is a popu-.
lar resort for these gentlemen, and
many of his old guests, after once
entering his dining room and samp,
ling his grub, have never eaten any

Guilty Anyhow.

Yesterday in the United States
Circuit Court when the jury made
their report to the Judge they ignor>
ed the charges against one David
Freirich for selling whiskey to Indi-
ans on the ground that there was
not sufficient evidence to indict HIM.
When Judge Hawley received the
report he read off the indictments in
the order that they were prepared.
When he reached the Freirich case
he continued.
In the case of I. S. vs.. David
Freirich-" he was about to 60 on
with the word ignored" but the de-
PENDANT jumped up and exclaimed at
the top OF his voice:
I'm guilty, that's what.
His Honor, the Court, nearly fell
off the chair and the crowd went into
commissions. When the Judge re
covered himself he laughingly re-
piled:
"As the case stands now / think it
would be best to punish the jury.
The defendant couldn't see the run
of the joke until Constable Epson
gently took him to one side ana
whispered something in his ear. Even
then it was found difficult to induce
him to go abroad and sin no more.
