HATS.
A high authority in matters of fashions
furnishes the following information:
The sailor hat of mixed rough English
staw, with wide black band, will be the pOpu-
lar style for warm weather. This is a dur
able, stylish looking affair, suggestive of
-strolls by the rocks and country drives, or
rides on the top of Broadway omnibuses, any
thing that gay ensOucidnt fellows consider
appropriate Summer fun. The neglige OF
soft drab or stone-colored felt for travelling,
Can be folded up and put away in case.
For occasions of more style the English Der
by hat OF pearl felt, with soft croTn and stiff
DOrsay brim, may be chosen, but small men
look extinguished in one of these, the crowns
are SO large. The Derby is an elegant hat
for tall, dark-haired man over thirty, but
boys should hot presume to wear it. Instead
ofgiving them an air of knowing style, they
look infantile in this hat. For dress hat
the drab beaver will be the best choice,
though cashmere high hats will be worn a
little. For boys, the sailor hat with square
crown, of white Dunstable or Milan braid
with ribbons of all colors for those under
eight years OF age, and the mixed Coburg
with dark trimming for older ones, is almost
the ONLY choice

General Grant and the Old Soldier.
[From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
During the year 1866 an old soldier, named
Lemuel Owens, was discharged from the ar
senal in this city owing to some very abrupt
reply he gave to selt-appointed Committee
who were sounding m upon his politics.
As Owens had served twenty-six years in
the regular army, and had wound up his
term of service on the Penmsular, under
Mcclellan, he would allow no man to question
his right to vote, and boosted, too, that he
had served in the Fourth Infantry, under
Grant when that renowned cbieftain was but
a Lieutenant.
He told the Committee he would go and
see General Grant himself about the matter
They jokingly replied "Do so, old fellow
he'll make it all right" General Grant was
temporarily living at Twentieth and Chestnut
streets, in this city, as the veteran soldier
trudged up with his story to the Generals
house. He stepped up, rang the BELL and
went into the entry hall. When the servant
appeared, and saw an old, sun-burned, poor
"What do you want?"
81 want to see General Grant," was the
caIm replp.
"The Generals engaged, and cannot be
seen. Have you got card?"
just at this moment a little girl appeared,
and old Owens said to her, isis, run-up stairs
and tell your Pop an old Fonrth Infantry
man wants to sec him."
message soon came down for the old SOL
der to come in, when he was ushered into the
presence of General Grant. He shook
him by the hand and said, General,
don't you know me% The General replied
that he had seen so many people of late thatt
was hard to remember them all.
Owens told him when he served under him.
and that he had been discharged from his
work, and that he had lost his eldest son from
disease in the war, and his family had moth
ing to depend upon but his labor. Grant pa
tiently listened to the old soldiers story and
picking up his pen, wrote few lines to the
effect that Owens should have work as long
as he wanted it.
The old man was not long in reaching his
former field of labor, armed with the formula
bic order, and when he presented it, with the
signature of the Commander-in-C Chief attach
ed, it created much surprise, and the veteran
soldier was graciously acknowledged as en-
titled thenceforth to respectful considera-

Poetry.


Soma heartleys wretch has been pok1ng his pro-
boscs among the flowers OF poesy. and goes off in an
aoonizing narody on Ben Bolt in the following
style:
Don,t vou remember lame Sally, Joe Jones?
Lame Sal y, whose nose was so brown!
Who looked like clam if you gave her smile,
And went into fits at your flown?
In the old goose pond in the orchard, Joe Jones,
Where the goslings are learning to swim,
Lame Sally went fishing one Wet windy day.
And the e by mistake tumbled in.
Under old Sims brush fence, Joe Jones,
That winds at the foot OF the hill,
Together we've seen the old camel go round,
hiding cider at Appleton mill
The mill vince is oven wood now. Joe Jones,
The raiters tell ON TO a COW, , - -
And the weasels and rats tua' ci""i i"uh" "s WA
Are The lords of the cider-mill now.
Do you mind the pig-pen OF logs, Joe Jones
Which stood on the path to the barn?
And the sbirt-button trees, where they grew the
boughs,
Which we sowed in our jackets with yarn?
The pig pen has gone TO decay, Joe Jones,
And the lightning the tree overcome;
And down whele the onions aud carrots once grew,
Grow thstles as big as your thumb.
Don't you remember the school, Joe Jones?
And the master who wore the OLD WIG!
And the shady nook by the crook OF the orook
Where we pIayed wi h Aunt GATHERINGS pig?
Mice live in the masters wig, doe Jones,
The brook with the crook is now dry
And the boys and the girls that were playmatei
Have all grown up ever SO high!
They have changed from the good TO the bad
And feel in my stomach, to tell on the truth,
I'd like to go home to my dad.
Twelve months, yenty. have passed. Joe Jones,
Since knocked off your nose with a rail!
And yet believe I'm your only true friend,
Joe Jones OF the Hurricane Gale.

A MORAL LEssoN.-The rumor that Mrs.
Sprague, the daughter of Chief Justice Chase.
is the most powerful auxiliary of her father
and that it is her influence that ''brings mill
ions to his support" gains currency through
the statements of the New York correspon-
dent of the Charleston Courier. To make her
father President, says the correspondent, sis
the controlling idea OF her mind" We COM
mend as eminently sensible the following
comments of the Worcester Spy:
Two morals may be drawn from all this
scandalous gossip:
First, that the Democratic press, if it wishes
to complete the ruin of Mr.. Chase's reputa-
ton, cannot accomplish it more surely than by
dragging the name of his daughter into the
mire of party politics.
Secondly, that we had much better have
"woman's rights" in earnest, and give that sex
the open responsibility of tho ballot, than to
reduce it to the necessity of these indirect and
underhand Screenings. All history shows
That women may be noble as sovereigDs, but
are very mean and despicable as intriguers
Margaret Fuller well said, at is not more
power that woman requires-she only needs to
DC good cook or good scold to have enough
OF that. But she needs chartered power, too
well recognized to be abused" We NAV vet
nave to give these ambitious Washington
ladies the ballot, and thus keen them from
becoming dangerous!

A NEW INK FOR PRITERs.-A new ink for
printers has been invented by Professor Dr.
Artus and Mr.. Fleckstein, master-printer
at Lichtenheim, near Jena, which ink is said
to be complete success. The composition
OF it is as follows:
Venetian turpentiue, A IL ounces; fluid
soap, ounces rectiied oleine. 2 ounces 1-2
ounce Paris blue (ferro-cyanic) acid; burnt
SCOT, ounces; oxalic acid, IA ounce distill-
ed water, 1-2 ounce.
The mixing process of this new, beautiful,
and cheap ink is described as follows:
Gradually warm the turpentine and the
oleine together; put the soap on a marble
plate. and gradually add, continually rubbing
the mixture of turpentine and oleine; when
well mixed add the burnt SCOT, which must
be well powdered and seived before then aud
the Paris blue, dissolved in the oxalic acid.
continually rubbing the composition OH the
stone, the Paris blue and the oxalic acid hay
ing been mixed before with water in the
above-given proportion. A solution of soda
In water is sufficient to thoroughly cleanse
the type.
The above is from the special foreign cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Printers Cir
cular. There is deterioration in the quail
ty OF printers ink, both English and Ameri-
can, IN comparison with that made ten wears
ago, owing to the use of an inferior grade of
stock. Ii there is anything in the above re-
ceiPt, good printers will be willing to test it.
