The Bondholders.

An article in the Cincinnati Enquirer as
serts the Bondholders are attempting to con-
/ troll the nomination Of the candidate for the
Presidency of both the Democratic and Rad
zeal Conventions They want to secure q
President in favor Of paying the Bonds in
gold, instead of greenbacks-a difference Of
some eight hundred millions in gold to their
pockets.
The Enquirer says they have already Sc
cured the control of the Radical Convention.
and are now working ike moles to secure
the Democratic Convention. as means to
accomplish this, they wish to prevent the
State Conventions from expressing a choice
for the Presidency, 50 that they may have q
chance to manipulate and buy up the dele
gates from the State to the National ConYen-
ton.
The State Conventions should defeat this
by lRStghttRg thsiT delegates TO the National
! Convention. Ohio viii certainly instruct

winter Bonnets in Philadelphia.

The opening days of OcJober were distin.
Ruished from the other bright days of autumn
by the brilliant concourse OF Boys In Blue"
who had battled SO valiantly for our honor and
our homes Warm was the welcome extended
by the patriotic citizens OF Philadelphia, and
the genial October skies refieeted the warmth
of heart and hand in hospitable greeting. To
the ladies these days were doubly marked In
the calender as being the established opening
O. winter-not the winter OF the almanac. or
II Q dread tempest. governed months over which
Boreas reigns supreme, but the winter OF the
milllner. E npty showcases and darkened
windows had for days excited attention and
aroused expectation, for, reversing the laws OF
nature the followers OF this artistic craft retire
INTO species OF chrysals state during the bright
heat OF September, to burst into butterfly brill
hancy with the cooler weather of the following
month. Suddenly, and with one accord, this
seemiog lethargy changes into activity and ex-
element. and from the Imposing "establish-
ment" to the humblest ''shop'' all display their
hiC den tire lsures
Vague rumor had whispered the surmise that
bonnets were TO be smaller, but an unbelieving
public had disregarded the warning, and de-
cided 1t TO be practically impossible that any
bonnet could be invented OF smaller dimensions
than the airy trif1es in which pretty heads had
braved the pitiless blasts OF winter, the keer
winds of spring, and the fiery rays OF the mid
summer sun. This is the age OF dauntles
achievement, however; and anybody who dare
to say that a thing cannot be done deserves Il
be disappointed. and so was the incredulou
public, for the triumphant milliners hav'
proved that bonnet, or what they call q bon
net, had not yet reached the absolute litte."
The shape has not materially altered, tn,
most conspicuous point being the raised panC
