Hats.

Hats are growing larger, every lay,
in Paris, it is said, but still they are
said to be pretty a1d becoming. OF
course men are MOI pleased When
bonnets began to grow small, men re
m0nstrated and ridi,uled and threaten.
ed divers horrors of neuralgia and brain
fever and blindness. Now that the hats
are growing larger they continue to
lament, and say that the ladies look
masculine, and that their hats are too
heavy for their little heads and slender
necks, and sigh for the little hea COW
erings of yore. Meanwhile the.' women
set their hats so far back on their heads
that they might as well be called bon
nets, and care neither for the praise nor
the blame of the men. The grey felts,
which in autumn were trimmed with
grey or with black, are now as gayly
ganished as velvet or chip hats.
Two grey felt bonnets, lately made in
Paris, are good examples of this style
One had wide brim and high crown,
trimmed with grey and pink feathers
and strawberry blossoms and leaves;
the other was trimmed with maroon vel
vet and feathers, and mad cluster of
pink roses and a wreath Of green leaves
under the brim.

A letter to the New York World says
We last saw Longfellow at the funeral
OF Agassiz. The old college chapel was
filled with the perfume of flowers, and
through the aroma the delicious music
of Cherubini's requiem was solemnly
falling. He looked wrinkled and old,
his hair was thin and silyery, and he
seemed to feel that around the genera
ton of men he represented the shadows
Of the eventide were falling. He has
three daughters who usually remain
with him in Cambridge, though some
what fond OF society and travel.
His residence is much visited, and so
much so, in fact, that horse cars usually
stop before the house, and the conduct
ors shout, Longfellow =
Curiosity seekers sometimes venture
within the inviting precincts of the
poets estate. A party some time ago
made such a venture, and were hospi-
tablv received by the poet, who aston
ished them with the historic associa-
tions of the house. As they were about
leaving, one of them asked:
"Can You tell us who lives herenow.'
. Certainly, sir; live here.
9 Oh, you. What is your name ?"
" Longfellow. "
i" Any relation to the Wiscasset Long
fellers ,"
The poet bowed out the party re
tiectiyely.

The Fastest Sallboat in the World.

The sharpe IS craft that can be sue
cessfully built only IN this port Gen.
Ducat, of Chicago, bought one in Fair
Haven about a wear ago, and took it
home, where it has become famous. In
1873 Frank Leslie had one built in Fair
Haven, and took it with him TO Florida,
where the boat whipped rything in
those waters. Amos Cummings, of the
Sun, has recently purchased sharpe
of David .. Twitchell, of New Haven,
which he has taken to Florida It is
said that several sharpe builders, who
had built famous boats IN Fair Haven,
found it impossible to equal their for
mer successes after removing to ports
on the Long Island Shore.
The sharpie was born in Fair Haven,
and several have been built there and
sent across the Atlantic in answer to
orders. The most famous specimen of
the craft in these parts is the boat
known throughout the sound as Laws
sharpie. So fast is she that
she is barred out of the races
which are frequently gotten mp along
the shore in summer, and excellent
builders have vainly tried to equal her

weight and spread Of canvas were ex-
actIy the same as hers. There are sew
eral copies of her in this port, but the
divine swiftness of the prototype admits
no rival. Those who have seen her
scudding under full sail, with two men
sitting on the end of a long plank run
ming out over the water to windward
to keep her from tipping over, will al
ways remember Laws sharpe. -

4 Sad Incident.

At Buffalo, on Monday morning, the
18th ult., a building on Batavia s.: was
damaged by fir. The second story was
occupied by family, the surviving
members Of which were in the very
depths Of affection. The husband,
twenty-six years of age, died Sunday
morning Of scarlet fever; an infant nine
months old had died some hours pre-
viously, and another child was lying
very i'll with the same disease. When
the fire broke out the already dis
tracted mother, who was Watching
over her dead, or by the bedside of
her suffering child, was, rs may be sup
posed, driven to the very extremity Of
terror and despair. She rushed down
stairs several times, besceching Captain
Wolfe and his men to remove the fur
niture, and not allow the bodies of her
husband and child to be consumed by
the flames. Once it was thought the
corpses would have to he removed, but
luckily the fire was put out before it
gained a foot hold in the second story.
The incident was a very affecting one.
