The BoNNET.-No man-unless he is man
milliner-can comprehend the niceties of
bonnet, although he may talk esthetic non
sence about it by the hour. He sees in it only
something to be paid for. In conversing with
a lady, it is the face and not the bonnet that he
regards. The face he may treasu.e up in his
memory-ift is pretty one-but of the bon.
net, whether it is pretty or not, he does not carl
ry away the remctest idea. The lady may
meet him with three new bonnets on the same
day, and he not know them apart. But no
new bonnet ever comes before lady's eye I'M
challenged and uncriticised. When ladies con-
verse with each other it is not the face that
each studies, but the bonnet. Her glance
sweeps over the cunning work of flowers, feath-
ers. lace and ribbons, which rises in a graceful
arch above the head of her friend, Nothing
escapes this survey, at top, or bottom, back or
front. She has resolved the bonnet into its orig
inal elements. Her memory retains every
item, even the minutes of which it is composed.
At any subsequent period of her life she could
draw upon her recollection, and have perfect
duplicate of her friends bonnet made if she de-
sired it. This feat, which is incomprehensible
to a man, is natural gift to the bonneted sex.

Editors excursion the comming Summer:
"From reliable sources learn that preliminary
rangements already making in view of the next

The intention is if things work satisfactorily, to visit
San Francisco. This will afford grand opportunity
for them to explore the great north domain to

that all creation may hear. They also gather i'm
portant facts whilst traversing that vast region
scending the Pacific slopes down to Calornia's
golden gates.

distinguished President of The Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, has already most generously sigrfed his entire
willingness pass the eXcursionsts free his road
and connecting lines westward far they extend,
giving them of the very best Pullman cars with
commissary and baggage car. He will also use his
powerful influence with other lines including the Union
Pacific, extend their couresies. This then is ia
vorable beginning which promises suspicious results

be done. The full intention is, if all things b9
satisfactorily arranged to make an Francisco the OBJ

Rise in Mutton.
A SHEEP GOES UP IN A BALLOON AND COMES
DOWN AGAIN.
rFrom the Sam Francisco Call, Nov Al

from the San Francisco Call, NOV 81
Fullv five thousand people visited the Clty
Gardens Yesterday, with the ostenslpie lhtcl-
ton of seeing goat descend from Iiie ne',ei
hlua The goat was not on hand, but his
second cousin was. A sheep was substitute
ed, and answered the purpose just as wei.
The balloon Getty of San Francisco was ILL
ed. and at four o'clock scared away, bearing
two lives and a parachute. Gruet Buisay
hung to the trapeze and the sheep hung tena-
ciously to the parachute lin a nett. The bal
loon shot away from the spot where it had
been struggling for freedom, and, ascending
vertically fully thousand feet, hung station
airy for about fifteen minutes. 1t was at this
time that Buislay untastened the parachute,
which was borne toward the earth by the
weight of the animal attached, dropping
hundred feet before it assumed its umbrella
like shape and floated gently away on the
breeze to the south. Not one of the thouS,
ands, that gazed upon the spectacle envled
the peculiar sensations that animated lnaI
mass of mutton during the first sudden de-
scent, but they applauded the composuIe us
PLAYED by the animal throughout. Whlie the
balloon still remained stationary in mid-air,
the parachute and the daring sheep descend
ed slowly but surely to the
ground, landing on the bluffs about
q mile to the south of the Gardens
where he was picked up by an enterprising
Hoodlum. who, mounting a horse, and
watching the descent with the eye of con-
noisseur, was on hand when the the animal
returned to earth once more. The sheep has
by this time probably returned to his NUT
ton." Buislay, after investigating the tenn
perature of the upper air for about two hours,
also returned to earth, descending in the
Potrero uninjured and decidedly refreshed by
his trip to the ''realms above" This per-
Torrance, although rather sheepish in its
general aspect, was altogether grand sue
cess, and the only circumstance to be
regretted in the transaction is the fact
that the name of the sheep who thus
rose to fame is unknown. Next Sunday
Stevens horse and buggy will ride on the
breeze, and select few who wish to peril
their necks in catering to the public pleasure
will accompany them. The other perform
ances announced in the programme were sue
cessfully carried out. The remainder of the
Buslay family gave one of their gymnastic
exhibitions, and the White Fire King sweated
his brief hour away in fiery furnace. Dane
ing was kept up until late hour. The days
entertainment was on the whole an unusually
good one, and next Sunday promises to be
hattor
