A Partisan authority announces that
only women with small feet should wear
light colored pctticoats. Dark ones serve
to shroud and obscure unshapely extremi-
ties while pale ones render them obvious.
To be really well dressed it is necessary to
give attention to every detail of the toilet,
from the hat to the boots, and, moreover,
what is well dressed for one person or oc-
casion is not well dressed for another. The
art of dressing consists in wearing clothing
suited to the time and place and selecting
it with care that it shall accentuate posi-
tive or relative beauties and let defects pass
unobserved. 1t has often been said that
good taste, good carriage and self conf
dence do far more to create favorable inn
preston than beauty alone
White gauZe is seen everywhere. 1t is
used as Il gown trimming and for all sorts
of accessories Black gauze is also worn,
and when mingled with yellow is particu-
larly effective. Mauve gauze is very hap

HOROSCOPE FOR 1876.
The Planets Say That There VIII BE
Both Trouble and Prosperity
for America.

Exchange.
According to the planets, u momentous
year is before US. II began on March
10. when the sun entered the martial
sign OF the Ram, the first sign Of the
zodiac, twenty-three minutes past p.
m. New York timel. and II will end
about tho same time next year. From
the positions and aspects OF the planets
at that moment the astrologer draws
his conclusions as to the nature OF the
events that will happen during the COM
ing year. The planetary conflgmations
at the moment of the suns entrance into
the other cardinal signs, Cancer. Libra
and Capricorn. are also usually noted,
but are not important In this instance
for the reason that a fixed sign, Scorpio,
is on the cusp OF the ascendant. which
denotes that the events foreshadowed in
the horoscope will not transpire very
quickly and that the horoscope may
therefore be considered as in force an
entire year Moreover. a study Of the
heavens at the moment when the sun
enters the other cardinal signs, which
takes place in summer. autumn and win
ter. shows us nothing that is not shown
In the present horoscope, when due al
lowance Is made for the passage OF the
sun and moon through the various signs.

THE PoPULIsr TICKET.
County Convention in Adjourned Hi.rmo-
Eious Session


The Populisl county convention met In
adjourned session at the Columbia River
Ffshermen's Protective Union reading
rooms yesterday morning. and nominated
n legislative and county ticket The
meeting WIS not largely attended, but
was harmonious, there being no factions
TO cause party dissenti0Es.
The PopIEists seemed 10 realize the ex-
~ceedingly small chance Of nominating a
ticket which might be successful. but
they were firm In their belief that II
would oe.Gn excellent policy to nominate,
so that, In the event dBf Republican or
Democratic dissentlonL they might slide
in, as iifTRsne.
The usual resolutions were adopted, the
following being an interesting clause:
Resolved. That we are in favor OF
changing the present 1ax law so that
taxpayers may pay their taxes one-halt
Semi-annnally: also, We are In favor of
paying tszxes directly 70 the treasurer.
and that we pledge our candidates to the
legislature TO work for the above change
in the iAp"
The nomination of candidates was then
proceeded with, and each was nominated
by acclamation.

-Iohn Swayne.

S'he two htter nominees are for Asto-

be permitted to name candidates as they
desire. No one could be foun6 to accept
the nomination for coroner. SO the coun-
ty oommittee was authorized to I'm this
vacancy, as well as any others that may
happen; but they must select enly men
who are known to be PopulistS.

The main Increase over last year has

BLIzzARDs
Drive Thousands Of Buffalo Over a
Precipice.
Denver Field and. Farm.

Denver Field and Farm.
Near Cheyenne Wells Is a long stretch
OF level prairie. which suddenly termi-
mates in precipice making perpendic-
ular descent of perhaps fifty feet to an
other plain below. In the winter of
1858 a great blizzard ragged for several
days. The snow was driven at a ter
rife rate before a hurricane OF wind.
and the buffalo were obliged, in sslf-
preservation, to turn their backs and
run with the wind. The result was that
vast numbers of the buffalo were carried
over the precipice. and their dead bodies
were covered with thirty or forty feet OF
snow. For many years people visited
the spot to look at the bones. which
lay in piles ten and fifteen fest high as
far as the eye could reach along the
precipice, and 1t was commonly esti-
mated that 100000 buffaloes found a grave
on that fatal spot
Sandstorms in those days were so de-
structive that 1t was not unusual for
freighters to lose their entire outfit. Dur-
ing the prevalence of storm no at
tempt was made to move forward and
drivers cleared the sand out of the nos
trils OF the horses and oxen, as other
wise the animals were threatened with
death from suffocation. A sandstorm
usually lasted only two or three hours.
but its effects were felt for days by men
and animals exposed to the fury Of the
blast. NV
A curious phenomenon noticed in ar
fensrnt places on the plains was the inn
mense excavating power OF the wind in
a sandstorm. There were areas of tbrsa
or four acres where the wind scooned
out the sand forty or fifty feet deep and
whiried 1t away in the air 1t seemed
as II the work began at a central spot
no larger than could be covered with a
mans hat. In an incredibly short time
a round hole would be excayated Tho
wind then took hold in real earnest ana
the probabilities were that an entIra
sand hill would be leveled down IN tbs
next thirty minutes.
