seasoneble Items About Dress for
 the Ladies.
 A curious caprice is that which was followed out at a recent wedding, when the maid of honor wore a dress of pink chiffon trimmed with black velvet. Black is seldom worn at weddings. There is a superstition that it is un- lucky, except for the quite elderly la dies of the families, but latterly dis position has been shown to introduce black velvet into wedding outfits, es- pecially as trimming material.
 A stylish bit of headgear for miss is of fine, thin felt made over a frame and piped at the edge of the brim with velvet. The trimming is of rolls of bias velvet, arranged in puifs and loops around the crown, large cluster of flowers at one side, and lace scart caught at intervals arolmd tue edge Of the brim, complete the trimming.
 An exquisitely pretty hat is made of velvet. The brin is moderately wide, rolled up at one side and completely covered on the upper side with thick ostrich plumes. Ends of the plumes fall over each side of the brim at the back, and upright feathers are sup ported against one side of the crown.
 An autumn hat is of braid made of felt. The brim is wide and slightly rolled up at the sides; the trimming is an enormous fan made of loops of vel vet ribbon, lappisg one against another On either side of this fan are thick, heavy plumes that droop slightly over the sides of the hat
 Specially handsome and becoming are the dancing dresses of crepe-de-Chine. --Fhey are made up over silk and are trimmed in the most elaborate fashion with ribbons, rufiles, ruchings and lace N Y. Ledper.

Les. Blackburn as a Cutter.

In Oakland, Cal, on Christmas day, Leslie Blackburn, an old Tombstoner, and sergeant-at-arms of the last Cali fornia Legislature, resented a blow delivered by Peter O'Brien as result of a banter, by using butcher-knife too freely. Blackburn cut frightful gash over o'Brien's eyes and six stitch es were taken in the wound at the Receiving Hospital.
 The men met in the Office saloon on Eighth street and chaneed to get mixed up in spirited argument. It wound up by Blackburn stating that no man could blaclen his eye and live. O'Brien denied that Blackburn would kill any one for such an offense, and by way of experiment, struck the ex-sergeant-at- arms 6 terrific blow in the face. Black burn went to the free-luneh counter, eaurht up a huteher-lsnife and wens al his man. He cut 0'Brieo once on fhe head and then bystapders intsrfered.
