A WoMAN's THoUGHTS ABOUT BoNNETs.--
The bonnet is the frame to the picture. A
pretty face wants the setting, to add lustre to
its loneliness. A homely one hopes, by
happy combination of tints, 70 soften its ug-
illness, or to suggest q beauty which it does
not possess. The present bonnets look like
coal scuttles, and will hardly succeed in ma
king any one look handsomer. In their anx-
iety to grow large all of a sudden, they have
burst out behind as we'll as before. They
may be decidedly stylish, but they are not
graceful. A high, pointed shelf, protrnding
over the forehead, and a bag of lace hang
ing out of the crown, large enough for
work-pocket, it is anything but artistic
Still it is refreshing to see heads crowned
with flowers instead of feathers. To me
there was always an incongruity in the
thought Of robbing poor ostriches and small
er birds of their pretty tails, In order to
trick out feminine heads. But flowers are
natural ornament. Doubtless one of the
first things which Eve did. was to knot flow
ers in her hair, and to this day flowers and
rare limitations of flowers make the most
simple and beautiful adjoining Of her multi
piled daughters. The most graceful spring
hat worn, is the simple straw (void of the silk
or lace crown), trimmed with budding green,
or violet tints, and clusters of spring flowers.

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.--Tho following
incident in the life of the grandfather OF the
late Governor Caleb Strong, of Massachu-
sets, is quite romantic: .'lle had paid some
attention to Mary daughter of Captain john
Sheldon Of Deerfeld, Mass, and there was
love, but no engagement between them
On the fatal Goth of February, l704 she was
taken prisoner by the French and Indians,
and carried to Canada, where she remained
two or three years. 1t is stated that the
first question she asked of those who came
to redeem her, was whether Jonathan Strong
was married He was married-her return
being considered very uncertain. After her
return, she also married. But, in l76l, her
husband and Mr.. Strong's wife both died;
and these aged persons-he in his S0th year,
and she in her 76th--renewed their attach
ment, after lapse of ffty-eight years, and
were married in 1902" Sylvester Judd,
esq.,, of Northampton, says that third of
century ago people were living in North
ampton who had seen the venerable couple
ride through the streets of that town, she on
a pillion behind her husband.

"a REMARKABLY FINE ALE.-Mr. Davison's
successor in the Washington Brewery, corner of
and 9th streets, Mr.. Colinoau, is now manufac-
turing Xxx ale and porter and brown stout, all Of
which reflect infinite credit on his establishment.
His ale compares favorably, indeed, with the best
Philadelphia and Albany ales, being, according
to our TASTE muck more like the best English and
Scotch ales than those imported from either of
those cities. If he continues to produce so supe-
rior an article, he will shortly make a reputation
for his brewery surprising that of any Northern

lower story. This will consist Of ten separate
divisions, for the display and sale Of the different
kinds Of goods, each division being under an old
and experienced clerk Of the house. There are TO
be thirty.fiye clerks in all increase over the
former number. All the upper stories are 10 De
filed with the boxes and bales Of goods OF the
wholesale department, where planters and country
storekeepers may procure their supplies. This
branch of Messrs. Giquel & Jamison's business is
very extensive.
Mr.. Giquel stays most of the time in Paris, in
order to import for the fair daughters Of the South
all that is new, beautiful and rich in the way OF
material for raiment; and there is no one who un-
derstands this business better than he. Another
member of the house stays most of the time in New
York and thus the supplies of goods are well
selected and constant, as well as heavy. For some
days Mr.. Jamison and his men have been moving
the stock from the old store to the new. The
whole stock of this falls goods including goods on
hand and to arrive, will in value exceed $500, ,00O
This may afford some idea of the heavy business
transacted by Messrs. Giquel & Jamison.
The new store will open on Thursday next.
Already the ladies' as they pass, peep in with eager
and cxpectant looks, and great will be their rush
to the palace of fashion when opening day shall
arrive. It will be an event on Canal street. as
well as the new building one of its rroudest monr-
ments. Being on the shady side of the street in
the afternoon, the new store will offer this other
attraction TO the fair searchers for dry goods.
New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1860-10-15
A MAGNIFICENT DRY GOODS STORE.

Among those business houses in this city which
aim to keep up with the times mag be justly in
cluded the well-known dry goods house of Nessrs.
Giquel Il Jamison. Founded in 1874, sixteen years
ago, by the gentlemen who are still at its head
and conducted with thorough knowledge of the
wants of the Southern community, it was not long
in achieving wide popularity and deserved pros.
perlty. After so many years of success at their
wellknown old stand on Chartres street. they have
at last found it necessary to seek them store and
a locality better suited to their great and growing
business.
That they have done so and in princely STYLE
has long been apparent to the public. The i'm
mense five story iron front building, now being
completed, on the South side of Canal street. has
been built by Messrs. Giquel & Jamison expressly
for their wholesale and retail dry goods business
and all who have examined it readily agree that
whilst it is by far the largest it is also much the
