Now, “ why is this?” one asks, and I . answer for several reasons. .Firstly^hecatise the va rious bronze shades harmonize so well with the different yellows now so fashionable. Then again, bronze is a handsome color, and affords a variety from brown, on which the changes have been rung so everlastingly, that despite its many advantages, we have grown somewhat tired of it. Run ning the gauntlet of colors over, we find that bronze is more generally suitable than bine, greene or grey, and therefore, while we shall see all the above hue* patronized, yet, bronze will be the oolor.

Standard materials are among the first impor tations, and for gcneinl wear, noth ing is so desirable as black; we find tlial special attention is phid to tlie 1'ielter class of black goods. In cash meres, the grhiid opera brand preferred by purchasers of discrim ination, and in mohairs the beaver rand is excellent, being silk finished and a fast black; while the sable brand of Turkish brilliant ine posse si the highest degree of brilliancy, and is the most beautiful black las're goods ever imported.

The “Cya rinz polonaise” is also novel and dis tinguished, being a unique design in which the waist, both back and front is partially shirred and confined in a deep yoke. The “ Cammilla” basque is a distinct design, tight fitting, with the trimming arranged to rimnlate » vest, and the neck cut low and shawl shaped. The “Juanita” overskirt is irregular in arrangement, and very Stylish, the front being disposed on the right in deep, diagonal folds, yriiile the left side Is plain .and lap ping over the right at the belt. Thi closelv clinging drapery at present fashionable, demands a support for the dress other than that afforded by the ordinary underskirt, and hence we find different kinds of tonmnres designed which combine lioth elegance and comfort.

[Cheyenne Leader.] A tramp who arrived h« re a few days ago from the West gives his ex perience in dead heading it over the Union Pacific front Cheyenne to Green river, on the Jarreit & Palmei train, by olimbing upon the root of a coach He says that from Cheyenne to Sherman he rather enjoyed the ride, but that b.tween Sher.. an and Green river iiis experience was one never to be forgotten. The rapid movement, of the train and the-rock ing of the coach forced him to wind hi* arms and lega aronnd a stove pi|>e and hang on for dear life. His hat -flew off early hr the ordeal, and after the train left this city ite Was 18 discovered by the engineer, who be gan throwing a heavy shower of tan ders; lint so rapid was the movement of I'm train that tlie heavtest o. es merely cut -thrcngh his clothes like 8 bullets, while the lighter spark* pasted above him.

Although he managed to keep his face behind the pipe nearly all the time, he wiut frequently s'i nek in the face bv flying cinders, *o that when he reached Green river hi* face and neck were badly cut and scratched.
