How New bonnet was Invented.

The London Hornet says Whims sometimes
become fashions. Here is a case in point At
Mesdsmes Therese and Mantle's, the most fash
ionable Of Paris milliners, there s fair-haired
young lady, az much like our poetical ideal Of
Goethe's Marguerite as life can be. OF course it
is this young lady who tries all the bonnets to
show them of TO visitors OF COURSE also, every
bonnet looks beautiful on that lovely head.
Well, few days ago, our Marguerite was try
ing on a charming little bonnet forming droop-
ing tip in front and raised plat at the
back. Suddenly, in freak, she turned the bon
net round the dropping brim then rested on the
hair at back, and the box-plait found itself in
the front "oh, how pretty exclaimed all
the other girls. "Its just like Phrygian
cap " said one. "Its the bonnet de la Repub-
lique /" said another
And quickly an aigrette and feather were
placed in front, within the hollow Of the box
plat (the sigrette to stand up and the feather to
fall over the back, and the bonnet was COM
pleted and not only completed, but it was sold
within the day to great elegante as the last
gem out And this is how Parisian fashions are
sometimes made.

THE BROOKLYN REVIVAL.

The Beecher affair once more looms up formid |
ably. No matter how fervidly we may deplore |
the publication OF details which can serve the |
only purpose Of vitisting public morals they can
not be suppressed. The unhappy complication |
has grown to be part OF the worlds business and
can in manner be put away, but must run i.s |
course until time and fresh turns Of the wheel
OF eyents cover 1t with silence. The sorry part
OF the case in ita present aspect is that the for
NAL trial by court of law, for which such gen
sral clamor was raised, is not likely to settle any
thing. straining every effort as the parties did
i'll the Church Trial. and in the multfsrious
:. statements which followed, it il too much to
expect that in the impending trial any new evil
dence OF importance will be brought forward
And I'd the Plymouth decision by no means sat
ished all people, 30 is it unreasonable to hope
that a Jury will bring in q unanimous verdict.
After the whole affair has been gone over again
the jury will disagree and the question will be
left precisely where it is now. Only Mr.. Beech
er and Mira Tilton know the truth. Tilton, him
self, may be no better informed than the rest Of
~.
The first decided more in the legal proceedings
has resulted in what is claimed as a victory by
both parties. We refer to the conclusion reached
in the Proctor-Moulton suit This conclusion
represents fairly the uncertainty attaching to all
phases of the case. The suit was brought, il
will be remembered, by Miss Edna Dean Proctor
against Mr.. Moulton for alleged libel in connect
ing her name dishonoraby with that OF MI
Beecher. Exemplary damages were claimed
which Miss Proctor now declines to accept
however, saying that her only purpose in bring
ing the suit was to have her character vindicated
This has by common consent been done, and 8,
far the Tilton family appear to be worsted, br
on the other hand moulton's yerscity in the mat
ter has not been impugned 1t has been appar
entity proved that he was misinformed, but
has not been proved that he merely invented tin
portions OF his statement referring to Miss Proc
tor. The public has not forgotten that partcu
larly clrcumstantisl report and it more than eve
wants to know what it meant. Can it b
the fact that Moultons counsel deliberate
ly declined answering Mrs Proctor
testimony for the sake Of keepin
their client eligible as witness in the main sui
of Iilton against Beecher ? The Proctor cas-
was taken out Of court and heard before Re
feree. This was the result of compromise i
which both sides gave up something for til
hope OF equivalent gain But il it had bee
pressed in court, and Moulton had been defeat
ed, then he would have been in no condition t
appear as Tilton's best friend. Thus the Tito
party claims Miss Proctors victory as their VII
tual triumph while the Beeeherites say, as it il
deed seems upon the surface, that they hay
won, inasmuch ~ our most damaging charge
against their client disproyed. We see thl
again how inextricably involved is this pitif
affair, and how little likelihood there ia OF oil
tanning any genuine satisfaction.

1t is a wel-known fact that, in his appointment
Of Attorney General Pennington, Governor Pom
der deferred to the wishes OF the temperance
people. They were the ones who over-reached
the united efforts OF the bar OF this county, aid
ed and assisted by many prominent lawyers
down the State, and 30 influenced the Governor
that he yielded to the pressure which they
brought to bear upon him. Az a matter OF
course, these people are slow to believe the re-
ports in circulation relative to their appointee
but once convinced they are likely to become as
much his enemies ss they were but lately hit
friends. The Rescue, Temperance organ, speaks
right out and says ''if the report Of his drunk
enness be true, we hope prompt action will b,
taken in the matter and no be removed Della
ware has been cursed long enough with dIunkei

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady StantOu-Some
interesting Facts In her Career.

MRS. Elizabeth Cady stanton-Some
Interesting Facts i'm her Career.
Mira NJ. II. Wills, in the Norristown Redrld,
gives some interesting facts concerning the ca
rssr Of Mrs.. Elizabeth Csdy Stanton:
Mrs Stanton ia a woman ifty-elght years OF
age, daughter Of Judge Daniel Cady OF Johns
town, N Y.,a man who WAS much respected in
his district, for learning and judgment. As
girl she spent m ch time In her fathers office
and even before she fully understood the talk OF
older people, heard the piteous tales of-women
who came there to make complaint in regard to
the injustice Of the lave which deprived them
of the control of what was their own property,
for Johnstown was peopled by Scotch who re-
tanned the feudal idea with regard to the dis.
possl Of money and land, and frequently wo-
man who had COME to her husband possessed OF
property was left dependent upon her oldest son
to whom according to his fathers will ii had de-
scended.
The indiL nsnt feelings which these scenes
aroused have born good fruits, for Of late years
Mrs. Stanton has frequently appeared before
the Legislature of her own aud other States and
whether her address has been regarding the
needful changes Of the laws relating to intem-
perance, education, divorce, slavery or suffrage,
has always been honored by a brilliant audience
who concede to her ability and .gnity, and she
| has by her labors gained certain notifications
| In the laws of New York whereby women con-
| troll their property and earnings.
| As school girl she stroye for and obtained a
| prize offered in Greek. Az 3 woman her father,
| recognizing the acuteness OF her reasoning
power. gave her the Revised Statutes to read that
| abe might have something sensible TO talk about
| to the friends who surrounded his table. And
thus hidden she began and pursued the study OF
| the laws OF her country which has since armed
| and equipped her for her struggle against OPP
| pressve legislation concerning women.
Old fogy as he was, this was not the effect
Judge Cady intended to produce in his brilliant
daughters mind, and years after when her name
had come to be prominently identified with re.
form, he earnestly demonstrated with her on hei
advanced views, and never to the day OF hii
death relaxed his opposition to the measures fol
which she battled 30 long and faithfully.
Mrs. Stanton is woman who would command
attention anywhere, and grace any station
Thoroughly conversant with whatever topic sh'
touches, strong in argument full OF wit and an
| ecdote, her genial sunny face attracts and he
eloquence captivates you.
In society she is delightful companion and il
her own home where seven children grace he
board, she reigns supreme the woman and moth

The Remarkable Power of Ham
mOud. lhe RevIvaIist


A Galesbury, ILL.,, letter of recent date says
1t is difficult to see wherein the power of Mr..
Hammond lies Each pight an audience Of
from $500 to 81 900 gathers at the Opera House
draw n there by what Z Surely not by the elo-
quence Of Mr.. H., for although he tells story
with wonderful power-abOut equal to Cough
he is far from being polished orator. 1t is not
convincing arguments his discourse last night
the first lie has given to adults-had scarcely a
strong point.
His theme is always the love Of Christ Many
say in regard to the children (l50 of whom claim
ed to have been converted last Tuesday night)
that they are frightened into it, Such is not the
case. Not once has Mr.. II. been heard to make
use Of the argument that unless they repent they
will go to hell The love OF Christ can be said
to be his only argument.
So much has been said in regard to his making
money out OF his work that last night he fell
constrained to say few words in justification
He said he could make more in three weeks lee
turing than he now makes in year or two :; thai
he had repeatedly been offered 1900 night
| "Yes and got it too I" for lectures that he hat
written here that he did not want to hear any
thing about money matters that he was preach
| ing at the very risk Of his life, as every docto
who knew his condition told him.
| There is very little OF the excitement whcl
| usually attends revivals, no violence or shout
| ing, but every one seems unnaturally grave ali,
| quiet. The work amoug adults has Just begu
and il is too soon to predict anything IN regar
| to results Probably over 200 children claim /
have been converted, but there may be som
doubt whether all are truly converted.

Hh,noceros Fight in New York.

"A Hhtnaceros k1Eht III NeW hoFh.
There was scene at the Hippodrome, New
York, ON Friday, which Mr.. Barnum neglected to
advertise, in the shape OF a desperate battle be-
tween two rhinoceroses, which, had it not been
for the successful Intervention OF the keepers,
would have resulted in the death Of one OF the
animals. One OF the combatants was Large
male weighing 4500 pounds, and the other u fe-
male, weighing $500 poupds. The fight result
cd from an attempt of the keepers to place the
female in pen with the male. The cage
containing the female was wheeled near
the entrance of tho pen aud the animal driven
from one to the other. He became furious at
this intrusion, and laying aside all gallantry
charged fur1ously upon the object Of his wrath,
driving her into one corner OF the cage. The
female-then faced her adversary and fought
bravely' and was able to defend herself 30 long
as she did not expose her TANKS TO the enemy.
In her struggles, however, she was thrown
crosswise in the pen, when her opponent gored
her fearfully in the side with his tusk, actual
ly lifting her from the floor. The struggles
OF the huge animals were accompanied with
loud roars, the tumut being augmented by
the affrighted cries OF the 600 other animals
composing the menagerle. The beasts threw
their combined weight against the bars OF the
cage, which threatened to break under go much
strain. The keepers after a strenuous effort,
succeeded in placing barricade between the
combatants by throwing whatever was, at hand
into the cage and thus effectually separating
them. The door was then thrown open and the
female taken from the cage, covered with
wounds which bled copiously, and after som,
difficulty was placed IN her old quarters. The
| fight of the rhinoceroses completely demoraliz
| ed the other animals, who threatened TO breal
| from their confinement and add other terrors Il
| the scene. The elephants were the only ami
mails that remained calm during the combat
| fortunate circumstance, inasmuch as they woult
| have become uncomfortable il frightened to thu
| aame deprae that the other animals were Tin
| excitement OF some OF the animals did not sub
| side until some time after the fight had ceased
The female rhinoceros, although terribl
| wounded, will probably survive her injuries

Theodore Tilton is pronounced liar by his
wife, and facts heretofore developed would seem
to convict him Of such accusation. Francis d.
Moulton is woman defamer by his own confess
sion. Verify these are twin worthless to support
30 grave charge as they have preferred
against Mr.. Beecher. His simple denial i'd as
much more worthy OF belief than their sworn
testimony as truth is more noble than falsehood
OF right more desirable than wrong.

Mormon Ma1rImoniaI lni.crie..

[From the Salt Lake Tribune, Dec. IL
There are many astonishing and few aamira-
BILE features about the religion OF our Latter Day
neghbors but without stopping to discuss them
all, 1T answers the purpose OF this article to men-
ton circumstance which came under our no
tice few days ago. Ii is sample OF many
such cases in Salt Lake City and throughout
the Territory. In conversation had
with liberal-minded young Mormon
tile writer asked him if 10 and 30 Of tile same
name were his brothers? Stopping moment as
if to study puzzle the gentleman then spoke of
his several brothers and sisters remarking at the
close that these were all that he was acquainted
with. But are there more of your family whom
you do not knowpn we inquired whereupon
the party proceeded to explain that his
father, one Of the foremost Of the priest
hood, has many woman and also a great
number OF children that under the
polygamous system boys and girls OF
the same paternity grow up to manhood with
out ever meeting each other. They are there
fore, not even ordinary friends, but as much
strangers TO one another az though born Of diff
ferent races and in different States. Surely thia
phase OF the kingdom is not to be emulated; al
though it may afford solution to Brigham
Young's doctrine that may rightfully
marry his own sister, as has been done in Utah.
Bringing children up lis ignorance Of their con-
sangunity might help to carry out the idea.
