1t is still too early for any positive
prophecy as to the precise shape OF the
head covering to be Worn next summer,
but the most important change is the in
PRODUCTION of a real bonnet instead OF the
modified hats which have been called
bonnets foryears. These ought not to
be popular, as, covering the ears, they
will be uncOmtortably warm for summer,
but some device will probably be found
for obviating the tortures which were
formerly inflicted by stiff wire and the
other intleXible substances which gave
shape to the bonnet. Hats, although
lower in the crown, will be even wider
in the brim than the sombrero like affairs
that have afforded so much amusement
to men during the winter. The flower
which seems most likely to be tashiona-
BILE is the white rose, which Is now much
worn in Paris, having, perhaps, on the
principle of the survival of the fittest,
been gradually evolved from the pale
pink rose for which there was such a
rage last winter. Feathers and birds are
to be banished as unreasonable, and if
heavy jet ornaments follow them the loss
will be small. The wide-fgured ribbons
which have been produced for this sea-
son can hardly become very popular, as
they are very costly, and not appropriate
except when worn scarf fashion-a style
discouraged by the trade for obvious rea-
sons. The ladies who can not afford
these broad, rich ribbons may find con-
ISOLATION in the fact that hat, trimmed
simply with scarf, becomes tiresome
from its great simplicity, while the scarf
itself after its first freshness is gone be-
comes "stringy" and ugly. The hat will
probably be set farther back on the head
than now, especially by young girls who
have not worn out their hair by irizzng
Ladies who have used the hot slate PEN
Gil or the hair-pin over much should have
mercy on the general public and conceal
won't; and as fashion has deprived them
OF even the poor refuge Of coronet
braid, preternaturally high foreheads
will be commonly seen.

JOHN mitchell UNRELCOME.

Dlsraelf refuses to allow John Mitchell
10 take his seat in the Commons as a
member from Tipperary, because he is
"a felon still under sentence" He tried
In 1S4S, with UBrien and others, to revo-
lutionize Ireland out OF the clutches Of
Great Britain. He was banished, but
managed after seven years to escape to
America, where he resided twenty years,
and then quietly returned TO Ireland.
The Government took no notice Of his re-
tnrn: and the people, supposing that his
sfense had been virtually pardoned,
elected him to Parliament. 1t is proba-
hle that majority will concur with the
premier in rejecting him. 1t is not prob
xhle that Disraeli would have made any
opposition to it, were there not more
danger Of unpopularity from this resog-
nition of Mitchell than from rejecting
him. The return Of our leading rebels to
Congress without note Of opposition
from. any quarter shows the superior
magnanimity of our people.
MitchePs oifense really consists In
running away from Punishment since,
had he served out his time he would not
be still under sentence. and would pro.
badly have been restored to citizenship.
The culprit has right to escape punish

A frothy orator known as Rev. MIR.
Dennen has been haranguing the Calvan-
lists. OF Fitchburg, Massachusetts, on
"Capital and Labor" Sound seems to
be of more Importance to Dennen than
sense. lie knows about as much on the
subject upon which he spoke as the av-
erage corner loafer does Of abstruse
mathematics. The lecturer went con-
siderably out OF his away to have fling
at the Irish factory girls in American
mills. This was effected by kind OF
left-handed compliment, intimating that
although they are "frouzy," still. they
are clever operatives. In 80 far as his
elucidation of the subject is concerned,
he is admirably suited to hold his tongue;
and yet he believes he understands
something Of !"capital and labor" As
Byron said,
"His speech was fine sample on the whole
or rhetoric which the learned call rigmarole.'

II. II. ROBINSON, Esq, State Librarian: ::
DEAR SIR-Having in my possession q
memento of the Father of His Country
piece of the carriage of General George
Washington-given TO me when boy by
Bishop Mead, Of Virginia, identified
and labeled in the handwriting of my
mother, Mrs. Maria j. Babcr, nee Lie
wellyn, who was married to my Iather,
Rev. James Baber, by the bishop. pre-
sent it to the Ohio State Library to be
preserved in the collection OF rllics. 1t
is Of American poplar or tulip tree wood,
and evidently part of the bow of the
carriage. Though preserving piece OF
the relic myself, l have thought for many
years that such mementO had better
be kept in some public institution.
Mentioning the matter to your lamented
predecessor, Walter G.. Hood. Esq, a
few weeks before his death, he suggested
the coming 22nd of February as an APP
propriate day for making the deposit.
The approaching centennial of 1875 is ill.,
teresting the people in gathering up
every relic connected with our Revolu-
tlonary sires. Hoping that this memen-
to Of the man "iirst in war, first In peace
and first in the hearts Of his country
men," will be an acceptable contribu-
ton TO the Ohio Slate Library collection,
l am very respectfully yours,
LLEWELLYN BABER.

A few weeks since an English physi-
clan, DR.. Carter, was asked to see in
consultation a brother medical man, who
was dangerously i'll of erysipelas of the
face and scalp. He had only just re.
moved into new house. On entering
his consulting room, Mr.. Carter was
struck with the bright green OF the wall
paper, and asked to have piece sup
piled to him. After some time this was
done, when he found, on examining it,
that 1t was, as he anticipated, arsenical.
Mr.. Carter does not say that the newly
hung wall paper had anything TO do with
the attack; but he does offer the simple
and valuable suggestion that, us the
methods for discovering arsenic are SO
simple and SO accurate, medical men
should always take care to guard them
selves at least, and without much trou-
BILE they may guard their patients also
against the risk of injury from this
source.

EngIish Women's ART in Dress.

London Correspondence N. Y. Times.l
We have seen something of the happy
home life Of England = wholesome,
natural, yet exquisitely re6ned-the cor
cordium of English society, and we have
seen a little of fashionable life on one
or two gay occasions. One dancing
party, though large and carrying weight
in the shape Of two or three titles, went
off in the most dashing and blithesome
way. / saw there toilets on English
ladies not to be surpassed in Paris, and
worn With a perfect grace. 1t is a pop
ular fallacy that English women of the
upper class do not know how to dress;
and, by the bye, the injurious charge is
often made by their countrymen. There
was at that party in Gloucester Terrace
a great deal Of beauty, as a matter Of
course-bigh-bred and ~high-colored Eng
lish beauty-and high.spirited and some
what low-toned American loveliness.
Perhaps our most effective representa-
tive was a young daughter of Horace
Greeley, who ever in London is not only
distinguished by her bloom aud the fine
classic character Of her head and face,
but for the perfect simplicity and maid
emily modesly Of her toilet-the fitness
and fit of her dress.

The market this morning was quiet
and devoid of interest. There was little
stir in banking circles and nothing doing
aside from the local checking and depos-
iting, Currency is in good supply, with
money comparatively easy. The banks
discount all unexceptionable paper offer
ing at SOLO . cent. o annum; on the
streets money is in demand at 2@S y
cent. y month for short loans. Bro
kers are paying llli@llll for gold, with
few transactions. Exchange con-
tinues dull and nominal at the follow.
ing rates: On New York and Eastern
points buying at par and selling at tc
premium, New Orleans, ic discount buy
ing and selling at par. There is little
doing in local or foreign securities, with
no transactions worthy of note.
