LATEST BoNNEr.-A Boston gentleman
now in Paris gives the following amusing
description of the style of head-dress now
worn by the women of the French capital /:
"The shape Of the bonnets now in vogue
in Paris is diamond form; about three inch
es square, from two corners of which hang
ribbons of an enormous width, (about six
or eight inches l judge.) The addition of
hen or canvas-back duck, perched on
the diamond, gives it very recherche ap-
pearance. But if the bonnets lack size,
the waterfalls restore the equilibrium
These are made of three French rolls, COW
cred with horse-hair, and tied on the back
of the head the centre loaf of bread
should be of larger size than the upper and
lower. Altogether, they would appear
most ridiculous on any one but a French
woman"

The Schoolmaster.
The following is one of many incidents
that befel "boarding-round schoolinas

have been teaching in Lewis county
in the State of Illinois, and during the
term was boarding round. One evening
after school one of my scholars stepped
up to me and said:
"Mr. Jones, father said you would come
home with me-
"Very well,'' I replied, and forthwith
set out for my patrons house which was
distant some two miles. Now, be it
known, James McIIenry-for such was his
name-had two daughters, the pride and
the envy Of the whole community, had
heard SO much about them that was anx-
ious to see them. 1t seemed, however, l
was doomed to he disappointed.
When we arrived learned the girls had
gone to party on the other side of the
creek; so I went to bed execrating the luck
which deprived me of seeing them that
night. The night had we'll advanced when
l heard one of the girls come home, and
passing into the adjoining room, she
warmed herself before some Goals which
were alive on the hearth. 1t seems the
old lady and gentleman slept in the same
room which l was not aware of then
Having warmed herself, she turned to
leave the room when the old man spoke
''Girls," said he, ''the schoolmasters in
your bed.'

through the room l slept in, went up

stood at the door long time talking to
her sweetheart, then entered softly
Disrobing herself she entered the room
where lay, in her stocking feet, carefully
undressed herself, and coming to the side
of the bed, prepared to get in. Now, il

The Winona Republican reports the
following terrible outrage:


One of the most diabolical cases of rape
which it has been our duty to record, came
before Justice Story Wednesday. The
fiendish act was committed near La Noble,
in this county, where the parties reside,
and the facts, SO far as decency will allow
their exposure, are briefly these: Two
little girls, Emma Lathrop aged eleven,
and Lorinda Hammond aged twelve, were
walking along the road, when they were
met by James Dovelle, about one mile and
a half from the residence of Mr.. Ham
mond. Dovelle induced them to go into
the woods, and there seized the younger
of the two, Emma Lathrop, and accom-
plished his vile and brutal purpose. The
other little girl started to run, but falling
down, was overtaken by the villain, and
also made the victim of his hellish lust
The little girls went to their homes, and
Dovelle was at once arrested and brought
to this city for examination. At the close
of the evidence Judge Story bound the
prisoner over in the sum Of $500, to ap-
pear at the next term of the District Court.
Doyclle is married man, and has two
children, one of whom is nearly, if not
quite rs large as the little girls whom he
so cruelty and inhumanly outraged, and
for which act it seems as though the hang
ing of the brute would but feebly satisfy
the demands of justice.

Mr.. Harlan, in his letter to President
johnson rendering his resignation as Sec
rotary of the Interior, says:
"Praying that the Supreme Ruler of ma
tons may bless you with health and vigor
to endure the arduous labors incident to
your high position, and wisdom to carry
into effect such wise measures of policy as
congress may devise to secure domestic
peace and national unity, have the hon
or to be very respectfully your obedient
servant
1t seems from this that Harlan prays.-
As he was poor methodist priest 10 years
ago, and has since acquired considerable
wealth, there will be little doubt with rea-
sonable men that he does prey. Very
many praying men in the abolit on party
have preyed themselves into snug little
fortunes during the past five years. Har-
Ian is one of them. If he keeps on pray
ing until the president carries into effect
scise measure devised by an abolition
congress, he will do more in that line than
he ever did before.-Chicago Times.

The organ of Fayette County disunion
ism at Clermont says we objected to Col
Merrill's grafton, for the reason that it ad

forward the question Of negro suffrage

too much regard for propriety to harrangue
