Rosroii. Anril 4. 1854,

Dear Sir:-A few of the solid men of our city
were thrown into terrible state of excite
ment during Mr.. Everett's late visit to Boston
by an unexpected claim set up by him to the
honor and glory of the Hulsemann letter.
This seemed, indeed, to have been the Prln-
cipul purpose of his visit, for soon after he
arrived he addressed a letter to Fletcher
Wsbster, in which he stated what he said

the consummotion OF his brilliant scheme,
he remained orgotten-forced by poverty to
sell glass on commission, for living.

COME KISS ME.-This is the name that
should be given to the fashionable modern
bonnet which, lightly resting on the back of
the head, affords no protection to pretty face
but on the contrary, increases the attrac-
tons which under any circumstances, invite
the stamp of kindness and affection! How
different from the odious spoke bonnet" used
five and twenty years ago, which formed a
projecting line of decentralization around be-
witching features--a cheuaur-de- -trise which
the most ardent and presumptuous admirer OF
beauty would hardly attempt pass-waen even
To undertake the pleasing process,
Required an elephants proboscis
But why should the ladies' wear bonnets at
alll The present fashion affords no more pro-
lection than hair comb. Why not adopt the
Spanish veil or the German cap, or the Italian
bare headj and let the beauties come out in
all their naked loveliness. These mere apo
logies for bonnets, worn, as Punch sCys, on
the "smal of the back" aflording no protec-
ton from the weather, are the most costly
items Of lady's dress, ranging from $40 to
$40 in the Bowery and from S25 to $50 in
Broadway; and of course they must be chang
ed with every season, if not with every month
in the year. What with "Spr,ng hats"

Public Spirit.

After careful examination through
our pretty town, with the assistance Of
several close observing citizens, we find
that Charley Swaziland is not the only
public spirited man in the place. Our ar
,iele of last week assigned to him this
lofty position, as an isolated one, much
to the chagrin of some of his fellow citi-
zens. Well, we'll, we will no, quarrel
with oul bread and butter, and 50 will
modify our statement Charley is push
ing fellow, and takes hold Of matters with
liberal hand, but there are others who
are as much 50, while some who would
be put in the same category with him, are
no, deserving. Messrs. Friend 4 Cul-
ber,son have made quite an improvement
on their corner; also Shaw l. Bagley
adjoining, and both have added a good
walk in front Of their stores. But Thos.
w. Harrass has eclipsed them all on his
corner Uncle Tom. has fitted up the Ba-
zaar until it is now one Of the neatcst,
pleasanest establishment in town. His
