GAME FEATHERS .

Very few feathers are seen in this first
installment of bonne;s; indeed, not single
ostrich tip is found; but there are clus-
ters of game feathers, short and prettily
shaded; aigrettes of white heron feathers; ;
two or three long dark. cocks plumes,
nodding in bunch, breasts and wings of
tropical birds, and a variety of bright
scarlet and dark green plumage. Birds
also appear again. There are tiny plump
redbreasts with outspread wings, as if
ready to soar away from the front of the
crown, OF else nesting in the soft draperies
on the sides

FINE FLOWERS.

OF flowers there is an abundance Vines
of tinted leaves form wreath around the
coronet of the entire bonnet; a wreath of
shaded scarlet geranium with black leaves
trims the dadem of another; a triple clus-
ter of roses, scarlet, pink and tea, are just
above the forehead on the third. There is
more carmine and less crimson in the new
dark roses that will be put on bonnets
with the first autumn days IN september;
a full blown and nearly blown buds with
very little foliage supersede the rose bud
wreaths of last spring. Pink and carmine
roses on blue steel velvet bonnets are in
Partisan taste. Fine small flowers are
also seen in quantities, also velvet flowers
prettiest among which are tiny forget-me-
nots, clcmatis, and jesmine Of white velvet
There are also beautiful lilies of shaded
velvet. In everything there is great deal
of deep carmine or scarlet to be seen, also
ponceau or poppy red. Many French
flowers show the new effects Of color that
will be attempted; for instance, there are

The next day the old Virginian, smart
ING under the indignities he had suffered
in not only having his pet crow killed, but
being compelled to eat portion of it, went
to the headquarters of the Bucktails and
made complaint to the Colonel against the
big Sergeant The Colonel at once sent
an orderly for Sergeant Smith, rightly sup
posing he must be the person referred to.
He obeyed tie summons at once. He
pushed the door of the tent aside and en-
tered. Swapping his heels together and
standing erect in the position of atten-
tion," he brought his right hand quickly to
the visor OF his military cap, and gave the
customary salute to his Colonel.
Sergeant" said his commander, very
gravely, "do you know that gentleman
pointing to the old Virginian.
Yes, SIR" promptly answered the 9TH
er.
How did you become acquainted with
him, Sergeant" !,
I'VE dined together, yesterday. sir. ,
promptly answered The culprit.
The roar of laughter which followed this
reply need not be described, nor the man
ner in which even the old Virginian join
ed. The Sergeant was sent back to ms
quarters, and the interview between ths
old aristocrat and the Colonel was ended
by an invitation to the latter to dine The
next day at the old mansion.

Tug House Judiciary Committee has
decided that In the beginning 1t was
evidently the intention that all NUM-
clpal improvements In Washington
should DO paid for by the General Gov
erument, which means the people
everywhere, aud not by the citizens OF
that place. And, In conclusion, IL
believes that the General Government
should, at the present time. bear q
proportion equal to one.half the ex-
penss OF such improvements. Ae-
corjinsly IL has not been simply a few
people at Washington who have been
oppressed by the Ring" out the
nation at large, whose money has been
stolen by contractors In doing work
In which the nation has had no voice.
The transgressions OF Governor Shep-
herd and his gang have not been sim
ply Of local importance. They affect
the Interests Of every man and woman
who pays taxes; and these people are
powerless to express their likes and
dlslikos In relation TO such improve
ments. "li." says an exchange, ''thc
nation should squl,ably bear half OF
the expeass OF maintaining govern
ment aud the public improvements OF
the Distrlc, OF Columbia, IL should GER
tainly have the balance Of power In Its
local legislation. Whatever may be
the status, It will not do to permit a
lot OF cormorants to fatten as hereto
fore on contracts dishonesty obtained
and dishonesty fulfilled. It will not
be safe to trust to the temper OF the
people for still further submission to
the outragss which have d~lsgracsd, In
