A TALE of hat contains, if not a moral,
ut least useful hint. Tbe wearpr of the
bat was lady, and it is unnecessary to say
that she wore it not on her head so much
as on the gigantic pile of hair deliberately
constructed on her head. The hat cost e3,
and was ssuch duck" Well, Il lady thiei
took a fancy to it, and. as the owner was
standing in front OF muse shop, dexter
and carried it off. The owner OF the hat
did not know that anything had been re-
moved from her head until she accidentally
passed before a window, which reflected
her figure.

Important Railroad Contracts Conn
ulefeG.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-It is stated on good
authority that the contracts have been made
with one of the great railroad contractors
of the West for the entire construction OF
the Mobile and Northwestern railroad, to
be completed in three years.
The consummation depends on the full
amount expected by the company being
voted by the counties in Mississippi. The
electious will soon be held, and from reports
received it is believed the vote will be quite
unanimous IN favor Of liberal subscriptions.
Itthis is realized, work will at once be COM
menced by large gangs. at both ends of the
line and at its intersection with the Central
railroad.
The project meets with great favor among
railroad capitalists, who deem it one OF the
most important lines in the country.

NEW HALL OF JusTIcE.-The room over
the Old Market Hall, in which Justice
White holds his court, has always been
considered unsuitable for the purpose. 1t
is entirely too large, and the deafening
noise in the street and the peculiar con-
struction Of the building, considered acous.
ltca|iy, combine to make it impossible to
hear what the justice, witnesses, or counsel
say; whilst the reporters accommodations
are worthless unless those important per-
sonagcs cncroach upon the space set aside
for the officers Of the court. We are glad,
therefore, to hear that the question OF the
removal OF the Police Courtroom is being
agitated. Odd-Fcllows' Hall we would
suggest as the very place for the purpose,
in view OF its adequate size, acoustical
properties, and central location.

THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT,

LONDON, Aug. 15.-In the House OF Com
mons to-day Mr.. Vernon Harcourt made a
violent attack on the Government for the
use it made of the royal prerogative in the
purchase question.
Mr.. Gladstone replied that, seeing the
amount OF unfinished business before the
House, he should decline to enter upon
any controversy on the subject. He thought
it was the duty of the House TO settle
whether practice so adverse to law and
fatal to national interests should be con-
tinued. s.u.a.
MIR. Faucet denounced the employment
of the royal warrant. He preferred the
continuance of the purchase system, rather
than owe its abolition to such abuse OF pre-
rogative. ...,
The Attorney. General defended the ap-
plication of the royal prerogatire in this
case, but he added that the Queen had
practically announced her resolution never
again to interfere.
The consolidated fund bill was intro
duced, and was received with vehement
cheers, as herading the close of the session.
LONDON, Aug 15.-The Emperor Napo-
leon has declined TO receive tue address Of
welcome which it had been proposed to
tender him. except at the express wish Of
the British nation.
The strike at Newcastle continues, and
many of the striking workmen are emil
