LOVE OF A bonnet DESCRIBED -.' Mark
Twain, " the San Francisco correspondent of the
Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise, thus descants on the
new style Of bonnet
Well, you ought to see the new style of bon
nets and then die. You see, everybody has dis
carded ringlets and punches of curls, and taken
to the clod of compact hair the q afterguard,
which they call :. waterfall, ,, though why they
name it SO cannot make out for it looks no
more like ones general notion OF a waterfall than
n cabbage looks like a cataract. Yes. they have
thrown aside the punches of curls which neces-
STATED the wearing OF a bonnet with back door
to it, or rather, bonnet without any back to it
at all, that the curs bulged out from uader an
overhanging spray of slender feathers, sprigs of
grass, etc. You know the kind Of bonnet
mean it was rs if lady spread diaper on her
head, with two of the corners brought down
over her ears, aud the other trimmed with
bunch of graceful hummcry and allowed to hang
over her waterfall-fashions are mighty tange-
some things to write-but am coming to it di-
rectly. The diaper the only beautiful bonnet
women have worn within my recollecton-but
but as they have taken exclusively to the water
falls, now, they have thrown it aside and adopt
ed, ah me, the infernalest, old shioncdest ru-
ralest atrocity IN its stead you ever saw. 1t il
perfectly plain and hasn't ribbon, or n flower,
or any ornament whatever about it it is severely

two lengthwise--or wonld be if that tlimble had
perfectly square end instead ct rounded one
just imagine it-gance at it in your mind
cye-and recollect, no ribbons, no flowers, no
filagree-ouly the plainest kind Of plain straw Or
plain black stuff. 1t don't come forward rs far
as the hair and it fits to the head rs tightly rs
thimblc fts, folded in square mass against the
back of the head, and the square end of the bon
net half covers it and fits as square and tightly

the back of the head with a tombstone or some
other heavy and excessively fiat projectile. And
n woman looks as distressed in it rs a cat with
her head fast in a tea-cup 1t is infamous.
GUARANTEES WASrED.-In a speech delivered
the l4th of September, in Worcester, Mass,
Hon. Charles Sumner told tie people that the
national debt was threatened by the enemies of
the Union and that unless irreyersible guacan-
tees for lis payment were made there was some
danger of reputation. From all quarters of the
South comes testimony to prove that there is a
disposition, if it can be done, to prevent taxation
for the payment of the national debt Sumner
relates that late Confederate officer when asked
if it would DC safe to trust the Southern men
with the power to repudiate, replied .. Repudi-
ate, should hope they would. I'm whipped
anu IL own IL Dut / m not SO fond OF q WHIP
ping that N going TO pay mans expenses
while he gives it % OF course there are not
ten men in the whole South that wouldn't repn-
diate." Many other utterances from ex-reblls
have shown the same disposition, and such sen
timents are expressed by men who are elected TO
the most important places. In Virginia a man
who was elected 10 Congress, said upon the
stump:
l am opposed TO the Southern States being
taxed at al for the redemption Of this debt, Ell
ther directly or indirectly and, il elected TO
Congress, will oppose all such measures and
will vote to repeal all laws that have heretofore
been passed for that purpose and, in doing so,
do not consider that violate any obligation to
which the South was party. We have never
pl;ghted our faith for the redemption OF the war
debt The people viii be borne down with taxes
for years 10 come, even if the debt IS repu-
dated. 1t will be the dutT Of the Government
to support the manned ANA disabled soldiers, and
this will be great expense end if tie United
States Government requires the South to be
taxed for the support of Union soldiers, VIC should
insist that all disabled soldiers should be main
tanned by the United States Government, without
regard to the side they had taken in the war.
