Suicihc.

New YoRK, April 2O.-The Times
Washington special says: Yesterday
morning an officer, apparently of the
staff OF the veteran reserve corps, en-
tered "A gun shop on Pennsylvania Av-
enue, near 18th street, and asked to see
a pistol, saying that he wished to pur-
chuse one. The youth attending the
shop showed him large revolver which
was loaded, and notified him that il
was loaded. The officer took it from
the counter, and placing his thumb on
tho trigger and the muzzle at his mouth,
fired and fell dead instantly. The body
has been identified by several gentle
men as that of Lieut.. Louis Athens
veteran reserve corps ofthe Freedmen'E
Bureau, and attached to Gen. Howard's Is
staff. He was n native of Hungary,
and it, is stated that he was of noble
family. He was recently on duty
in North CaroliniI, and leaves a wife in
Michigan. No one is able to assign
any reason for the act, but his friends
say that for several days he has threat
ened suicide.

The Paris style of spring Bonnets.

The New York Times Paris cores
pondent writes:
suppose our New York ladies will
be interested in description of the
Spring style of bonnets, ':just out, )" in
Paris. Well, 1t is my unpleasant duty
to inform them that the last Invention
of millinerdOm is, If possible, several
shades more hideous and unbecoming
than the, e,sugar-scoop affair, derisively
termed a Bonnet" which has been in
vogue for some months past. The
"chapeau Lainballe," as it is named I
believe, is in shape not unlike the bar
beT's basin used in some of the comic
operaS-in other words, Don QuiXote's
helmet, stuck squHrely on the top of
the wearer's head, like the cover of "a
dinner-pot. 1t is fastened to its place
by means OF ribbons about as wide as
your two hands, and tied under the
chin, forming gigantic bow, rather
larger than the le0t of a moderate sized
dining-table. The whole contrivance
is absolutely frightful, and for this very
reason there can be little doubt that il
will soon be all the "rage" with the fair
sex, rendering the pretty wearers ugly,
the ordinary ones repulsive, and the
ugly ones positively hideous. And
these atrocious modes are invented in
France, under a despotic government
and possessed of the most vigilant po-
lice organization in the worldl 1 should

THE PEACE rRooLAnAT1oN.
ItDoes Not Remove Martial Law.
The following appears in the South
WAR DEPARTMENT.

WAR DEPARTMENT.,
WASHINGTON, D. O., April 8, '66.
BreUet Maj. Gen. J. M. Bra1mGn, Au-
The Assistant Commissioner of the
Bureau of Refugees. Freedmen, &C.,
for the State of Georgia, having inquir-
ed whether the Presidents proclama-
ton removes martial law, and stated
that the Department Commander does
not feel authorized to arrest parties who
have committed outrages on freed peo-
pie or Union refugees, the Secretary of
War, with the approval of the Presi-
dent, directs me to inform you that the
Presidents proclamation does not re-
move martial law or operate in any way
upon the Freedmen's Bureau in the ex-
ercise of its legitimate jurisdiction. 1t
is not expedient, however, to resort to
military tribunals in any case where
justice can be attained through the me-
dunn of civil authority.
