SEDUCTIVE HEAD DRAPERY.

The Paris fashion writer in the London
Hornet says: "a great many ladies also,
now that the cold weather has set in, are
fixing long tulle scarfs to the back of their
bonnets, and then tie them under the chin
in large bow and long, flowing ends.
When in white tulle these scarf strings are
very becoming, and also take the place of
crayats. Each end is about a metre and
a half long; so that it takes three metres
of tulle, at the least, to make these scarfs.
They are fastened under the crown at back,
and are pinned away from the face with
Jet OF tOrtOise-sfell pins. Many ladies pre-
fer black lace scarfs instead of white tulle.
Black lace is more economical; and when
the bonnet is all black, with perhaps sim
Gle rose. at the side, these black lace STARTS
give quite Spanish look to the face. L
have even seen some worn thrown back
the second time. For instance, after the
scarfs have been brought forward, and
have been well pinned back from the
face with black jet pins, they are loosely
crossed over the chest in front, and are
then thrown over the shoulders, where
they are inyisibly pinned TO prevent them
from d ing out of place. To make this
arrangement look well, however, great
care must be taken to have the folds of the
scarfs prettily arranged in front, that the
head may appear to peep out ola cloud of
lace. If well arranged, it is most PRETTY
and becoming, otherwise, however, the
effect will be spoiled, and, instead of an ell
egant appearance, it will ilook ungraceful
and old-fashiOned; for something of the
kind has long been worn on hats at the
seaside. But then only one scarf was
used, and this was twisted around the
neck; now two scarfs are used, which,
when properly arranged, give a charming
look TO the head"

The NelC York Commercial and FindR-

ern State bonds have been hardly as active
as last week, and transactions have run
mainly on Tennessees and Virginias. 1t
is too soon yet to know at all definitely
what action will be taken by the different
State Legislatures in regard to their debts,
and so long as the question remains un-
settled in each State, there continues to be
opportunity for speculation in its bonds,
based on the various estimates which are
entertained of the measures most likely to
be adopted"

VERY AWKWARD FOR THE CAP.
TAIN

The jo'ial captain of one of the steam
ships tells story relative to the May and
December marriages so common in Bra
I'll. A Brazilian gentleman, apparently
over fifty years of age, was a passenger on
his vessel. He was accompanied by two
girls, one about fifteen, and another young
er. The gentleman was seasick in the
cabin, and the girls were on deck, where
upon the captain endeavored to amuse
them-took them on his knees aud told
them stories, while he enjoyed their pratt
tie and pretty smiles. In the midst Of this
pleasant occupation the gentleman came
on deck. With a fierce expression he
gazed upon the scene for a moment, and
then inquired in a harsh, husky voice:
"You, sir, are you married." "Yes,
have daughter older than your little girl
here" said the Captain. "She reminds me
very much of mine" Here he patted the
cheek. "That little girl, sir" exclaimed
the indignant BRAZILIAN, with great emph-
sis, chat little girl is my wife, sir!y' The
Captain collapsed.

eradication OF all bilious attacks, prompt to

no ordinary discovery in medical science TO have
invented a remedy for these stubborn COM
plants, which develop ali the results produced
by q heretofore free use OF ealOmel, a mineral
justly dreaded by mankind, and acknowledged
to be destructive in the extreme 10 the human
system. That the properties of certain vegeta-
bles comprise all the virtues OF eal"nIcl without
its injurious tendencies, II now an admitted
fact, rendered indiSputable by scientific
searches and those who use the Mandrake Pills
will be fully satisfied that the best medicines
are those provided by nature in the common
herbs and roots OF the fields.
These Pills open the bowels and correct al
bilious arrangements without salvation OF any
Of the INJURIOUS effects of calOmel or other poi

HOWSTATUEs ARE MADE

The bronze statuary Just now so popular
is manufactured by simple enough pro-
cess. Over the clay mode is poured a
coating Of plaster of Paris, which having
been allowed to set, is taken off in sections,
thus affOrdingia hollow mold of the fig
ure. From such mold is produced a
stucco duplicate, either of the entire stat
ne or Of such a portion thereof as is in
tended to be cast at a time, and on this
again is formed a second mold Of greater
thickness and solidity for the reception of
molten metal. 2The material used for the
final mold is a composition Of stuccO and
brick. dust. This is applied in a plastic
state to the stucco model, from which its
inner surface takes the form Of the figure.
Were statues cast solid, it would now
only be necessary to separate mold from
model. and run metal into the former till
its interior was filled. This, however,
would involve, absurd waste, and in order
to ecOnOmize material, solid core is plac-
ed inside the mold, leaving only such
space all around as will receive the thick
ness of metal deemed necessary for the
work in hand. The mould with its core
having been thus completed an firmly
hooped around with bands of iron, is
placed in kiln TO bake to perfect dry
ness. This precaution is necessary from
the circumstance that even a trace of
moisture might on the application of
molten metal occasion a dangerous ex-
plOsiOn-

Some say that the story how the Squire's
mare stole the ShaughraUn Is the gem of
the play; but to the Nelo York HeraIds
mind, the best passage is where Nova tells
Con that she had better leave him where
he is and not gather him to wither, like the
faded flowers in her bosom, and he replies,
with poetic extravaganza, ''What, for an
other girl to make pOsey Of? If you were
to leave me like that, darlin', shure but I'd
pluck myself and walk afther you on my

A remarkable instance Of the TRIES that
sometimes create excitement in a theatre
cal audience occurred on Saturday evening,
at the Grand Opera-hOuse in New York.
In the third act Of the 'Black Crook" a
series of national dances are given, in
which China and Japan are represented by
some little boys and girls. During the
evOlutions one Of the smallest of these
children dropped her japanese wig, yet
she went through the movements as
though nothing unusual had happened.
The audience 'took' the incident at
once, and greeted the unconscious
child with rounds Of applause, which
were redoubled on her regaining the wig
and putting it on hind side foremost.
When the dance was over, the Uproar and
applause became deafening, and the bust
ness Of the piece was stopped. Yet no one
behind the scenes seemed to know the
cause, and performer after performer came
on, only to be greeted with derisive
laughter. One of the Kiralfy brothers next
made a bow, but il was no use, for the
tumult never ceased until the little girl
came out and kissed her hand to her
friends. Of all the multitude Of people
who appear in the piece, none received
such a greeting as this little toddler, who
made the hit of the night by a mere acct
dent.

Washington Correspondence Of the Cincinnati
Commercial.
The special agents sent to Tennessee
to investigate the celebrated Sugg Fort
case have, it is understood. submitted
their report to Secretary Bristow, and
it is probable that early steps Will be
taken to recover the $4,000 paid on
the lst of July last. 1t is understood
that certain officials and clerks are in
volved, collusion with the claimant
and suppression of material evi-
dence beng established. Secretary
Bristow has pushed this inquiry with
characteristic vigor, and it is likely that
he will break up ring that has for
years been prosecuting, and IN many
cases successfully, fraudulent claims
against the government. 1t is asserted
the evidence taken, seriously duplicates
Hon. R. R. Butler, of Tennessee, of
cadetship fame, and that an investiga-
ton of the case will be made by the
Committee on War Claims of the
House, which rejected the claim during
the last session. Judge Lawrence will,
it is said, offer a resolution to that et-
feet, and endeavor to sustain certain
theories advanced by him In his pub
lished letter of last summer on the gen.
eral subject of war claims. The case
is likely to develop some interesting
features of the claim business, and
show the workings of the department
lobby.

brevet of perpetual fame, and some
times, as in the case of Mrs. Black, of
Athens, a provision of more substan-
al kind from the pockets of the poets
admirers. The same can hardly be

their pictures to our or at novelist
Dickens, who often thought fit to re-
verse the principle of "nihl tetigit

Among the characters whom he appears
to have drawn truly enough, albeit in
most repulsive colors, was the wretched
creature called "Lascar Sal, described

to contend with the disease to which
she Immediately succumbed. In her
filthy and miserable room we are in

grand nephew of Gabriel Requetti, the
Mirabeau, The Marquis Gabriel, his
eldest brother, survives; but he will
probably be the last of long line.
