affair and trying to shift the responsibility.
Rumors of arrests are frequent from other
parishes. Judge Trimball has information
that when Sheriff Aycock reached Vienna he
and his deputy were treated in the most con-
temptuous manner, the writ of ha6eas corpus
disregarded, and that shameful and abusive
language was used by Letenant Hodgson in
command. Guns were cooked and presented
at the law officers, and the writs de6ed by the
military officer. Judge Trimball is indignant
that the civil authority was disregarded, and
will take steps to punish the offender. Trim
ball is a Republican and supporter of the
Kellogg administration"
The War Department has approved OF
Gen. Emory's action in stopping arrests made
by Merrill on his own affidavit and will de-
eide upon the question of Merrill's violation
of orders when all the reports and correspon-
dence shall be received in Washington. A
general order issued from the headquar-
ters of the Department Army of the Gulf,
contains the following in relation to the dispo-
siton of the troops on Monday: "The troops
in this city are to preserve peace and order
and to prevent conflict betwe.. armed bo-
dies of men, and to be used for no other pur-
pose They will continue to abstain from po-
litical discussions and any interference with
the election. All officers and men are requr-
ed to remain within their quarters during the
day of the election, unless called out to pre-
vent conflict between armed bodies, or by
orders from a superior military authority"
Many ofthe people who were frightened away
to the swamps by the Federal cavalry on the
line of the Red river are now returning, and

Ladies' Hats.
- The ladies will be glad to hear all about
the new winter hats. A New York letter
says:
"Certain it is, that no shadow of difference
can be detected between majority Of the new
feminine headcoverngs and the soft summer
fets worn by men. They are Identical even
to the narrow repped ribbon binding, and the
band around the crown. There are, of course,
variations of the high.crowned, mannish style; ;
but that prevails, and may well be considered
the style of the season. Indeed, certain eco
nomical persons are trimming and fresheDing
their husbands last summers hats, thereby
rendering themselves modish and thriftful at
the same time The brims of the. hats are
unwired, and therefore offer an irresistible op-
portunity for jaunt, and pokes, and dents,
which is eagerly embraced by the trimmers.
They are turned up on the sides, before, be-
hind, at the corners, wherever, in short, it
please. the fancy of the wearer. The effects
produced are extraordinary. Now, you will
meet pretty, young girl whose hat gives her
the appearance of having fallen and Aattened
her face and hat together. The next one
looks as if she had turned down the brim to
shed the rain, but had neg glected to bend the
left side. Number three comes along with her
hat perched back at the same angle we were
taught to hold our pens when we were pa
tiently Cor otherwise) transcribing the moral
precepts of our copy-books The wonder is,
how hat can be made to stay on at such an
elevation without visible means of support.
The elastic which once secured it is no longer
visible, and awful suggestions of glue, gum
and tin-tacks, present themselves. The wise
ones say, however, that the secret consists in
q wonderful skill in preserving the centre of
gravity, and-unlimited use Of long hair pins
stuck straight through thefelt into-I had al
most said the head-but, on reflection, do
not believe the heads are all soft enough to ad-
nit of this. Ispeak of felts alone, because,
thus far, scarcely any made hats are shown.
Gray is the fashionable color, and the tall,
brigand hat-without the dent in the crown
the favorite shape though other colors and
other shapes are not uncommon. The trim
ming is comparatively plain a plain velvet
binding, or no binding at all, on the edge, and
a plain velvet and silk band around the crown.
The bows and loops, which are not many, are
placed wherever the brim is up-turned against
the crown, and are supposed to hold it in po-
sition. Among the bows are stuck the feath-
ers, ostrich-plumes, game.wiugs, or robins
breasts. If flowers or leaves are desired,
these too are added to the general mass. Jet
and blue steel, in the shape Of sprays, fringes
and single ornaments, are interpersed wherev-
er they can be, and that is almost all over the
whole"
