 Bulletin: Besides the Indian schools at Phoenix and Tucson there is a splendid school maintained by the government on the San Carlos reserva- ton, which is regularly attended by more than one hundred pupils. This school during recent years has been conducted under the superintendency of Mrs. k. Hunt Wright, and has been doing excellent work. A new building for the accommodation of this school is now being erected at Rice station, on the San Carlos river, twelve miles above the agency. It will not be many years until these schools will wipe out Indian reserva- tions in Arizona and the old warriors will be replaced by an industrial and intelligent people. At the San Car los school the ch.ldren-boys and girls alike-are taught all lines of in- dustry.

The announcement that Hon.

be candidate tor the United States
Senate before the Vermont Legisla-
ture to serve during the remainder
OF the late Senator Morrill's unex-
pired term, makes it plain that the

didates for that honor; Senator Jon.
athan Ross, who was appointed by
the governor to serve until the va
cancy was filled ty the Legislature,
Congressman w. w. Grout, and
Commissioner Prouty.
1t has come to be something of an
axiom in Vermont politics that a
candidate in order to have any claim
at all before convention should
have the support OF his own baili-
wick and county, and this considera-
ton will lend marked interest to the
struggle between the gentlemen
named Inasmuch as Gen. Grout
must contest Caledonia county with
Senator Ross and Orleans county
with Commissioner Proutv as we'll

Ancient Fashion JargOn,

The language Of the fashion plate
and the wOman's paper Is sufficiently
appalling to the mere man even in
these days Of emancipated and we
may presume, more grammatical wOm-
anllood, but, according to an extract
from Il fashion journal Of 1877. the jar
gon of over century ago was even
more astounding. This is how the pa
per described the dress Of Il certain
Mile. D. at the opera:
She appeared in dress of ''stitied
sighs," ornumented with "supertuous
regrets" the bodice cut In q perfect
candor" point and trimmed with "in-
discreet complaints" Her hair was
dressed in sustained sentiments
with a headdress of Sustained con-
quest" ornamented with several fly
Always" and "downcast eye" ribbons.
and her collar was "beggar on horse
back" color.
No doubt all these marvellous terms
conveyed some meaning to the fash
ionable woman Of the days when
French society danced OH the edge Of
the volcano Of 1850, but to their de-
scendants Of a hundred years later
they have absolutely no meaning.-San
