MEMS HEAD.GEAR "A feeble attempt is
now being made TO revive the feather which
was SO long the glory OF the cavaliers of
olden times, and the custom of wearing
which in the hat-band gave rise to the say
ing that such aud such thing is Feather
in ones cap. Well-dressed young men
are now frequently to be seen in our streets
wearing conical hats, in the broad bands Of
which little sprigs Of peacock's feather. or,
sometimes, plain white feather, are con-
spicuous. Since the Kossuth hat with the
ostrich plume which never came regular
ly into fashion here, by the bye this is the
frt attempt tia. has been made to bring
feathers into vogue again for masculine at
tire. BY the bye, the peacock sprig may
extend, until it rises intoa waving feather.
Who can say, indeed, but that it
may go further? Women wear
whole birds on their heads; and the swell
who is content, for the present, with the
suggestive sprig in his hat band, may by
and by 60 the whole bird too, and convert
his head into roost for the peacock. Civ
ilization, however, does not seem favora-
BILE to the feather as IN accessory Of male
civilian attire Indeed, the feather appears
to be the accompaniment of undress rather
than Of dress, o paaache Of gaudy maeaws'
tails often forming the only article Of cloth
ing worn by barbaric dusky monarchs.
The stage has so long held possession Of
the plume, now that it would not be easy
to separate the idea of business man with
a nodding feather in his hat from the foot
lights. For the American people, espcci-
ally, the feather would be very inappro-
pirate accessory. They are too hurried
and bustling in their movements to carry
so much topsail, and any attempt to intro
duce it would probable be failure.

Fearful Tragedy-A Young Man Slot
Dead By Woman.
IFrom the New Albany IInd.) Ledger, 81


Atiabout half.past one o'clock this after
noon the people in the neighborhood Of
Water and Upper Third streets were thrown
into 3 state Of excitement by the loud re :
port Of pistol A crowd soon gathering,
It was ascertained that Mr.. 8. s. Moore, jr.
q son Of s. s. Moore, ESQ.,, and clerk in
his fathers store, on Main St., near Pearl
had been shot and killed by Mrs. Melissa
Morton, wife of John Morton, ~
The shooting took place at the house Of
Mrs. Lonisa HUFF, who resides next door
to the Mortons.
1t seems that Mrs. Morton. had been at
the store of Mr.. Moore, few minutes be-
fore, and was accompanied near home by
young Moore who went to Mrs. Huff's res
idence, and stated that he had an agree
ment to meet Mrs. Morton there.
Mrs. Huff stated that the room was cold,
butthat she would make fire. She started
for the door, and had got outside when Mrs
Morton entered, and immediately drew a
revolver and fred the ball entered Moore's
neck, probably severing the jugular vein.
The unfortunate young man dropped dead
on the floor, without speaking word OF
making the least sign.
We understand that Mrs. Morton says
that Moore had written her several insult.
ing notes, which she had in her possession,
and thnt she had demanded o writer
apology from him.
What occurred at the store, just before
the dreadful tragedy was enacted, we are
not advised, nor what was the object Of the
conversation at Mrs. Huffs'. Nor are We
advised of the nature Of the conversation
at Mrs Huffs house, II any took place.
The affair is one ofthe most terrible thai
ever occurred in our city. The afair viii

Mrs. Morton's maiden name was Davis.
Her husband was aiLieutenant in the 23d
regiment, and Afterwards served in the

Adventure with a Monster Panther 10
Montana,

. From the Montana Herald, Nov. I'LL
On Thursday oflast week twowell-known
hunters, Messrs. J. T Morrell and J. T..
Bennett, were out on the hunt among the
missouri breakers" opposite the mouth
of the Dearborn, and Wills searching in all
directions for awounded deer, the former
ran foul Of an animal but seldom met with
in the mountains of this or any other sec
ton of the territory--a full grown panther.
Mr.. Morrell was at the time stealthily
making his way through the timber, and
was within twenty PAGES Of the animal be-
fore discovering it. The ugly brute was
lying upon what seemed heap of brush,
vita only his head partially visible, and
the hunter, believing at the moment that it
was q grizzly, took deliberate aim, and sent
a bullet from his trusty Spencer rifle crash
ing through the brain of the animal. The
brute rolled off the brush in full sight of
the nunter, when he learned his mistake of
the character of the beast, and took the
precaution to still further damage his fore
top with an additional Spencer pill before
upon closer and more intimate
Acquaintance. Satisfied that he had Hdone"
for this terrorof the mountains, Mr. Nor
rell, proceeded to examine and afterward to
skinthe animal " t-ft5
Atthe time it wasliIled it lay crouched
upon brush roof which the animal, after
gorgng itself, had built over the carcass
Of o dead elk, victim to its fierceness and
rapaSity. Mr.. Bennett, who yesterday
brought us one of the monsters paws
about the size Of mans hand, with claws
the most formidable we ever saw-gives us
to understand that its weight was nearly
two hundred pounds, and its measurement
from the tip Of its nose to the end Of its
tail was nine feet one inch It is thought
that This panther was one Of the most for
midable and dangerous beasts ever killed
in Montana, and the bones human as well
as brute, scattered over the rugged coun-
try opposite the mouth Of the Dearborn,
were doubtless torn and gnawed from the
victims Of this "Man-killSr Of the Noun

over. Suddenly she fixed her eyes on q
passage, read page or two, and bought
the volume. 1t was "Corneilles Trage-
