ANCESTOR OF THE STOVE PIPE HAT.-The
ancestor from which our present chimney
pot hat takes most of it's characteristics is
the broad brimmed, low crowned hat with
an immense plume falling down on to the
shoulder, which was worn during the reign
of Charles Ii. At the end of the seven
teenth, and during the eighteenth century,
this hat was varied by the omission of the
plume, and by giving the brim various
" cocks" That these cocks were form
erly only temporary is shown by Hogarth's
picture of Hudibras beating Sdrophel and
his man Whacum, where there is hat,
the brim of which is buttoned up in front
to the crown with three buttons. This
would be a hat Of the seventeeth century
Afterward, during the eighteenth century.
the brim was bent up in two or three places
and, Notwithstanding that these cocks >
became permanent, yet the hats still re-
tanned the marks of their origin in the but
ton and strap on the ght side. The cock
ade, | imagine, took its name from being
a badge worn en- one of the cocks
The modern cocked-hat, apparently of
such an anomalous shape, proves on e1ami-
nation, to be merely hat of the shape
above referred to; it appears, further that
the right side was bent up at an earlier
date than the left, for the hat is not sym
metrical, and the cock ~ on the right side
forms a straight crease in the (quondam)
brim, and that on the left is bent rather
over the crown, thus making the right side
of the hat rather straighter than the left.
The hat-band here remains in the shape of
two gold tassels, which are just visible
within the two points Of the cooke hat.
A bishops hat shows the transition
from the three-cocked hat to our present
chimney-pot and because sixty years ago
beaver-fur was the fashionable material
for hats, we must now needs wear a silken
imitation, which could deceive no one into
thinking it fur. and which is bad to resist
the effects of weather. Even in lady's
bonnet the elements of brim, crown, and
hat-band, may be traced.--Poputlar Science

now fast approaching holidays, will be a

agemcnt, and for the benctit of the Young
Mems Christian Association and the Luz

From the arrangements already made
and from the character of those having the
matter in charge, it will doubtless hc one of
the most extensive and attractive Fairs ey-
| er held in Frostburg. The objects for
which it is intended should have, as no
doubt it will, the hearty sympathy of the
citizens.
While no pains will be spared to make
it attractive, nothing will he allowed in con,
neetion witch it to give offence to the most
tastidious. Al taking of chances, and
gambling in every form, will be strictly cX
cludcd. Choice music, both vocal and in
strumental, will lend its charms to the oc-
casion, and While the ear shall be charmed
with harmony, the eye, that other avenue
to the soul will not be forgotten. In addi-
ton to PAULs large and elegant Hall, the
proprietor has kindly granted the use of
the upper portion of his new building ad-
joining to be used us an oyster saloon, &c.
Tickets for the entire season, running oy-
cr at least seven nights, will soon be on
sale, both for families ard individuals, at
low rate. Supply yourselves early, and
come, young and old, determined to enjoy
yourselves, and by your presence and lib
erali'y when present, help on these noble
enterprises. ST. NICHOLAS
The movement in favor of the formation
OF the new county must be systcmatizcd-
A survey of the proposed county must be
made as soon as possible, and Il fund for that
purpose is needed, as also for other incidcn-
tai expenses. a memorial is to be proper
ly framed and numerou ly signed by the list
of January. TO accomplish these things
well and i'll due time, concerted action must
be taken. And we would propose that
some time during the next week meetings
/ be held at the different towns in the district
and appropriate action taken each meet
ing to draft its own resolutions, frame its
memorial and appoint its own committees
And let the people turn out as it is meas

Besides the object of establishing and cc-
menting more general unity of the labor
ing interests of this region, Capt. 7. will
have much instructive information and
counsel to impart to his auditors respecting
the existing financial arrangement and the
duties it imposes upon all to mitigate the
pressure. His subject is important and
ability to discuss it will doubtless attract a
general hearing.

Dear Sir-The Richmond Enquirer 0
the 2Gth Of August reports Colonel With
ers, in his Warrenton speech, as having
| SAID, In reference to Longstreet, he no
only accepted the issue, but went over fol
money! &c.
hope that | am not asking too much ii
appealing to you and your friends to make
known the truth in this cause.
The charge Of Colonel Withers. as stated
is so vague and indefinite that l can find
nothing in reply, except general denial, and
the record of my motives, as announced by
me from time to time.
There has been no room at any time for
doubt as to my motives and wishes in re-
gard to our politics. When they were first
announced in the spring of 1862, / stated
expressly that could see no other way by
which the souther.i people could reinstate
themselves in proper sympathy and rela-
tions with the general government, and
thus save themselves greater losses and
humiliation. There commenced and ended
all Of my reasons and motives in connec-
tion with this matter, and my letters have
so plainly expressed my views that no one
can misconstrue them, except they do so
through malice. ~
If Colonel Withers knows the record,
and he virtually claims to know it when
he makes grave allegations as matters of
fact, he knew when he made his charge
that it was not true III he made them in
ignorance,i or reckless disregard of facts,
he is equally culpable.
In order, however, to place the matter
beyOnd CtlestiOn or doubt / nropOse that
Colonel Withers give the names of the
parties to this transaction, and the time
and place Of its occurrence. 80 as to give
me something tangible. | think that |
can Safely promise him, as soon as he puts
his charge in such shape as to enable me to
take hold Of it, that will prove to the
world that there is not word Of truth in
his allegations against me, nor even
a reason for them except in malice.
Another Virginian, Rev. Mr.. Pendleton,
aiming to avail himself of the prejudice
gotten up on false statements, goes back
nine or ten years to attack my record as o
soldier. | will say to him as | have said
in reference to the other charge that it is
too vague and indefinite as it stands to be
met by the evidence of witnesses. But,
il he will give the names of the staff Off
ceis Of General Lee, and the general and
staff officers of the LIST corps of the army
of northern Virginia who are cognizant of
facts, as he asserts them, will under
take to prove, by his own witnesses, that
his statement is also false.

The Case of ROdman and Sprague of
RrOOklyn.
NEW YORK, September 5.--It is
claimed that a discovery has been made
which indicates that the suit against Rod
man and Sprague can not be pursued that
Judge McCue is not Judge of the city
that his decisions since the passage of the
Brooklyn city charter are null that the
mayor and corporation council can be pro-
ceeded against that Edgar N. Cullen can
act as assistant district attorney.
That portion of the charter bearing on
the case is that in case any city officer shall
become an officer, director or trustee Of
any monied institution, in which any part
of the city funds may be deposited, his
office shall Immediately be deemed vacant.
The charter was passed June 3Oth. A
nldadamus will be asked for restraining
City Judge McCae from exercising the du-
ties of the office. Nearly every official in
Brooklyn is connected with some one OF
the banks in which city funds are deposited.
Fire and DGath-FOuI Play Suspected.
New YORK, September ga slight fire
occurred last night in Williamsburg. When
the flames were extiDguished the body OF
Margaret Hammill was found burned,
and piece of bed cord tied around her
neck The occupants of the apartment
have been arrested, as foul play is sus-
pected.
Items.
The produce exchange have appointed
committee to confer with the Sc ate
committee on transportation.
The name of Daniel Drew, the railway
millionaire, has been added to the roll Of
pensioners of the war of 1872.
An analysis of the municipal finances,
presented by Controller Green in his an
nual report, shows that the permanent
debt of the city is increasing with fright
ful rapidity. and that the taxes and assess
ments are as enormous as they are totally
inadequate to meet the charges against
them.
