Fall Hats and Bonnets.
- After long weeks Deliberations and con.
sutations, the bonnet question is happily SET
tied and doubts and hesitation are at an end.
For the benefit of our lady readers We give
the following as the latest decree from fash
ion writer in New York:
Three different shapes will be the most
sought, and 80 economical is fashion that last
years felt shapes are easily remodled and re.
trimmed at very little cost. The picturesque
and artistic Rembrandt is revived in felt, and
the soft broad fur brim has an upward turn
at the left side. The trimming is scarf of
soft silk, ostrich plumes, an antique ornament
of fligree or chased silver, and low at the
back cluster of shaded crimson roses. This
hat should be black. The Montaguard hats
have stately high crowns, nearly covered with
fluffy feather ruches and nodding ostrich tips,
forming an elegant and striking appearance.
The familiar round-topped Derby is also re-
vived Notwithstanding its extreme simplicity
it is not inharmonious in its aspect. There
are beside toques Of old-time popularity rather
more faring than before, and the dressy, hand
some wide-brim felt of cream color, and fawn,
and white shades, worn set back on the head,
and thereby forming an aureole with its brim.
The facing is of light creamy silk, shirred,
and beneath is roll of velvet with fiat bow
above the forehead in this may be placed a
rose, cluster of white pinks, carnations or &c.
ranium leaves, at pleasure. The modified
bonnets are as graceful as they are admirable
for good taste. The brim is of the Aaring
halo shape, but the crown is smaller and the
sides resemble the ng.forgotten modest cot.
tage bonnet, in fitting the head 80 closely.
Ribbon strings are attached to the backs, and
women who hoped to protect their ears this
winter will find their hopes useless. The rib
bon-strings are simply to be crossed behind
and carelessly brought forward for ornamental
display. Black lace is also used in the same
manner.
Pardon Of Defaalting Official.
John L. Humbert, who was convicted
last January in the Court of General Ses.
sions for Orangeburg, of official misconduct
as County Treasurer of that county, and SEN
fenced to imprisonment for one year and to
pay fine of $1,000, has been pardoned by
Governor Chamberlain. In the document
remitting the remainder of the term of SEN
tence, and the balance of the amount Of the
fine not collected, the Governor says:
"Application was made to me for pardon
in this case immediatel y after the trial, which
1 felt obliged to refuse on the obvious ground
that the example would be hurtful to the
public. The application being now renewed,
l have re.examined the case, and now reach
the conclusion that the public interests will
permit me to grant the pardon. Nearly two
months of the eleven months during which he
would be confined have passed, and the sher
if of Orangeburg county certies to me that
he has collected, by levy and sale of the pris.
oner's property, S7O5.60 of the fine. The
prisoner is very young and was wholly with
out business experience when he was appoint
ed treasurer. His friends assert, and think
truly, that he has pro6ted pecuniarily very
little, if any, from his defacation, and that he
was exposed to great and peculiar temptation
He has a wife and child dependent on him
for support, and he gives evidence that, if
now released, he will make an effort to be-
come a good citizen. The great reason, how.
ever, for nay present action, is that the law
has been enforced and punishment inflicted
sufficient, in my judgment, to set wholesome
example.

Northerners at the Georgia State Fair.
Among the notables at the Georgia
State Fair in Macon, were Hon. Thomas F.
Bayard, of Delaware; Ex-Governor Hawley,
of Connecticut; Judge w. D. Kelley and
ex-Mayor Fox, of Philadelphia. Each of
these gentlemen, on being introduced from the
speakers stand by Gen. Colquitt, President
of the Association, made short, appropriate
speeches. The remarks of all were we'll re-
ceived, and especially did Gen. Hawley cre-
ate considerable enthusiasm. After hand
some Introductory, in which he stated that
"the title of the South to Independence Hall
is just as good as the title Of the North" he
remarked as follows:
From all that has been said, a stranger
might surmise that some 'unpleasantness'
had existed between US in former times. And
this was true. 1t had been his fate to COM
mand brigade in Florida and meet our
friend Colquitt there. There were no roads,
no entrenchments and we had an ugly fight.
Out of five thousand men that went in with
me, eighteen hundred were killed and wound
ed. Yankees can fight we'll, and Colquitt
