Bonnets for May.

Bonnets have reached their smallest di.
mensions, and now there is an idea of doing
away with them altogether. On the princi
pie that extremes meet. the next thing we
may expect is a return to the preposterous
head gear of forty years ago-the tunnel
oonnets, which. it is said. required speak.
ing trumpet at one end to reach the woman's
ear at the other.
The proposed sub titute for bonnet at
present, however, is lace couture. The
couture mdntiHe, which has already made its
appearance, is sometimes worn at the opera,
and will probably be worn largely at the
inland watering places, where bonnets, for
the purposes of promenade, have always been
at discount.
The graceful arrangement of the new
coifure mantilte depends much upon the taste
of the wearer. The prettiest method is to
festoon it to the braids with handsome pins,
draw it back from one side Of the face, and
ornament it high on the side, above the right
temple, with large pink rose and buds,
leaving the other side to be drawn over the
face as a veil, in the Spanish fashion.
The coifure mantilLe, which is not at all
likely to be anything more than very ex
ceptional caprice, is but the natural develop
ment of the mantille bonnet, one of the
principal novelties of this season, the veil
of which is a much more important affair
than the bonnet itself This is nothing more
than a very small Fanchon of Grape or silk :.
covered with folds of tulle, plain or frosted,
with veil of tulle attached to the back,
descending low and forming in the front
drapery or second strings, which are fastened
with an ornament similar to those upon the
bonnet.
Nearly all the bonnets Of the season have
lace falls, or scarf of lace attached, which
is carried to the front, and forms second
strings. the first consisting simply of narrow
ties. This has been done to a great extent
during the past winter, and forms graceful
addition to the smaller bonnets, which re
quires some sort of drapery to shorten the
apparent length between the chin and the
top of the head
The baby" bonnet, which is simply
composed of cap" or as it is sometimes
called soft crown, and small brim, turned
back little from the sides, has had great
success, and is really very pretty design
The crown is also composed of thin material,
and is sometimes raised in sort of puff,
which is very stylish, and from which fall
of lace opens in the center, descends upon the
sides of the chignon, and is carried to the
front, where the ends form the wide lace
strings. The brim is generally made of
silk, although it may very properly be com
posed of the same material as the crowE. -

MURDER-On Thursday morning Nicholas
p. kunkel was found murdered at his claim
on Sawpit Flat, above the Tower House On
the morning of that day neghbor visited
KunkePs place, for the purpose of purchasing
some sluice boxes which be had offered to
sell, and on approaching the place the visitor
was Mortified at the sight he beheld Kunke's
body lay on the ground, his head mashed in
and bullet hole in his right temple, with
the body still warm On being notified of
the occurrence, Justice Dickinson repaired to
the place and empanneled jury to investi-
gate the circumstances of the case. Kunkel
had Chiaaman employed to assist him in
his claim, and as the Celestial has not been
seen since the murder, it is supposed he
committed the crime and fed. Kunkel is
supposed to have had several hundred dollars
in his possession, md the Chinaman evidently
murdered him in order to get possession of
this money Deceased was a native of Ger
many, and aged 45 years.

SPIRITUALIsTIc.-Anyo one desiring to wit
ness one of the natural and legitimate results
of that demoralizing humbug, Spiritualism,
can be grati6ed by visiting the Jail wherein
the unfortunate Mr.. Suaway is confined A
maniac husband, an unprotected wife. and
helpless children make up this case, and all
their misfortunes are directly traceable to the
pernicious doctrine of Spiritualism. Surely
nothing good can possibly come of creed
which sets at naus hit the Word of God, and
furnishes only on lust, ignorance and super.

The BLAKENEY- MILLER WEDDING.-The
wedding of Major Thomas j. Blakeney, the
Federal Assessor for this district, to Miss
Mary Miller daughter of Henry Miller, of
the firm of D. o. Mills & Co., bankers, says
the Sacramento Record of the 7th inst,
came off yesterday, and was one of the finest
ever witnessed in this city. The Congrega
tional Church was filled to its utmost capacity
long before the hour of the ceremony
Promptly at the hour of l04 o'clock A. NJ,
the door of the private room of the church was
opened, when the bridesmaids and grooms-
men, six in all, and Mr.. Miller and his
daughter, made their appearance, followed
by Major Blakeney and Mrs. Miller they
then proceeded down the aise to the pulpit,
making an imposing scene. The Episcopal
marriage service was performed by Rev.
VIM. H. IIill The bride was duly given
away by her father. There can be nothing
more beautiful or impressive than the little
ceremony Of giving away the bride; and no
father can refrain from shedding silent tear
when he feels that be is surrendering up his
own flesh and blood to another. The bride
was dressed in an elegant white satin, which
was all the more beautiful for being trimmed
perfectly plain. She had on her head a
wreath of green leaves and buds, interspersed
with white roses. She wore no ostentatious
ornaments. but everything was elegant yet
modest. To say that she looked lovely and
loveable is but expressing it in poorest terms.
The groom was handsomely attired. and
looked as serene and happy as the lot of
mortal man would permit The bridesmaids.
Misses Pauline Smith, Mary Hurd and Mary
Haight, We're dressed in white tarletane,
trimmed with cherry cooreG ribbon; their
entire dress was as beautiful as it was modest
and retiring. After the ceremony at the
church they atjour1ed to the residence of the
BRIDES father. where they received the con
gratulations of their friends. The happv
couple were the recipients of many costly and
elegant presents, consisting of diamonds,
silver sets. vases, oil paintings, and many
other articles. The table was spread with
the choicest of iced dainties, and arranged in
the most artistic manner The brides and
groom's cakes occupied their usual prominent
positions upon occasions of this kind These
were particularly in demand by the Young
unmarried ladies present, as they each wish
ed piece to 'tdream oI." Hearty were the
congratulations that were extended to the
happy couple by their friends. At two
O'Clock P. NJ. they departed on the San
Francisco boat on their wedding tour.

eruption. During Monday night, prior to
the eruption, the ground throughout the dis.
trict was covered with coating offne sand
and light pumice stone, of a light yellowish
color. Where this shower of sand pumice
stone came from is as vet unknown, but
probably from some vent hole near the crater
The suferings and alarm experienced by
the residents of Kau during the two weeks
that the earthquakes and eruption continued
prior to their leaving, appear to have been
great. Night after night they were eompell-
ed to sleep on the mountain ridge back OF the
village, exposed to the cold and damp winds
and rain from the sea. subsisting on taro and
fishes when they could get these, or fasting
when they could not.
The whole district is in ruins-a field of
desolation-and probably five hundred thou
sand dollars would not restore it to what it
month ago. 1t is no wonder the for
eigners are leaving the place, with the inten-
ton of never returning to it again.
The number of deaths will be between
eighty and one hundred The exact number
may not be known for some time, as some
persons are missing whose absence may yet
be accounted for. The loss Of life is neau-
choly indeed. and the sympathy of the Haw-
allan people, l trust, will be deeply express d
in some way to the mourning and bereaved
families of Kan. whose tender ties have been
so suddenly and keenly severed by the hand
of God
The tidal wave was much greater than
before stated. 1t rolled in over the tops of
the cocoa nut trees, probably sixty feet high
and drove the floating rubbish, timber etc.,
inland distance of quarter of a mile in
some places, taking with it when it returned
to the sea, houses, men and women, and al
most everything movable.

WE hear that ex. .Assemblyman Westmore.
land is making a fine effort to be nominated
for Congress from the Third District. If he
cal be nominated and elected and will serve
his constituents as we'll in Congress as he
served them in the last Legislature, they
ought to be, and no doubt will, be well
satisfied. Buckbee, Harrison and Goodwin
are also said to be in the field as aspirants
for the same place.-Sac. Bee. =
Yes, Mr.. Bee; and as Westmoreand is
the only Union aspirant for the position who

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS NATIONAL CoNvEx.
TIoN.-The National Convention of Soldiers
and Sailors, to meet at Chicago on the 10Th
inst, will undoubtedly be the largest repre-
sentative assemblage ever convened in the
United States. According to the call of the
Committee, twenty delegates will be allowed
from each Congressional district in the Union,
which will make an aggregate of four thou
sand members. This body will meet at the
same time, and will undoubtedly co operate
with the National Republican Convention in
nominating Presidential candidate and
framing a platform. The candidates who
receive the endorsement of these two repre-
sentative Conventions can scarcely fail to be
successful before the people, and the Democ
racy already feel that humiliating defeat
awaits them next november.

WEsTMoRELAND THE PEOPLES CHoIcE.-So
far we have been able to learn (and we
have devoted considerable attention to the
snbject), we are fully satisfied that Hon
Charles Westmoreand is the first choice of
at least two-thirds of the Union voters of this
district for Congressman. In the counties
composing the northern portion of the dis
trict the people demand the nomination of
Westmoreland with unanimous voice, while
we have good reason to believe that his
aspirations meet with the approval and
sympathy of large proportion of the Union
men of the central counties If nomin ated
be can be depended upon to make an able
and thorough canvass of the district, and
the Union cause needs competent and wide
awake champions in the coming contest
Only nominate this man of the peoples choice
and the district will be able to boast of an
able, eloquent and accomplished Representa-
tive in place of the disciple of Petroleum V.
Nasby who now disgraces US at Washington.
