How Hayes Cabinet Dress.

Hayes wears during week days an old
black soft felt hat, of what is known as
the army style. Itlooks as though it had
done service enough to be turned in. On
Sunday Hayes redeems himself by wear
ing a very fashionable black silk hat,
which he bought in Cincinnati just be-
fore he was inaugurated.
Evarts wears, during the warm days, a
small white straw hat, alternated with
brown straw. Key wears the orst-look-
ing dicer ever seen. He bought it when
he came to fill Andy Johnson's seat in the
Senate. Keys beaver is three sizes too
small for him, and sits on the top of his
iron-gray bristles; and, secondly, it has
not been in style for four years. 1t is Il
horlid-looking affair, though Key feels
happy while wearing it reared back on
his ears. Key can safely sing that comic
ballad, entitled, 81 am the man with the
shocking bad hat" ..............
Sherman wears calico hat, which is
made upon a light steel frame, and Il
brown straw. which is we'll ventilated on
the sides. Both are what are we'll known
as cheap hats. Schurz, while particular
in the cut of his pantaloons, so that his
pants will appear to the best advantage,

done him service for two summers, and

which he wears when walking-which is
very seldom. have not seen Mr.. Schurz
except in his carriage, or sitting at his

him in the first session of the forty fourth
congress.
Mr.. Devens, the attorney gen neral, when
in full dress, wears a handsome and styl-
ish silk hat, on which there is wide band
of Grape. At other times he wears a soft
felt, which looks we'll on him. He is
very prim in his entire dress. Secretary
Thompson makes speciality In dress, and
of courBe he wears beaver suit. He
has of late left off his blue coat and gold
buttons which he has worn for the past
forty years, and now wears more mod
ern covering, though not so SNOWY. He
takes great pains in having his hat look
nice, and always succeeds. ...

THE school board of New Orleans has

One of the colored members advocated
the separation, on the ground that it

the make shift shoemaker or mechanic,

say, perhaps, that the educational labor
ers have this matter all in their own
hands. Nay, more than this, each indi-

hands 50 far as he is interested. There

aims misses ride over it. The work OF
construction was begun in 1866, and was
com pleted three years later. The route
follows the Ammonoosac Valley, and
from the Fabyan House to the end OF the
friction rail is six and tw0-thirds miles.
For two and half miles the grade is two
hundred and ninety feet to the mile, or
one foot of perpendicular height 10 eigh-
teen feet Of horizontal distance. Besides
the usual rails there is central rail Of
peculiar construction to receive the mo-
tive power, consisting of two bars of iron,
with connecting cross.pieces placed four
inches apart. A central cog.wbeel on the
locomotive plays into this rail, and Sc
cures sure and steady mode of ascent
and descent.
The locomotive, as it first comes out Of
the engine house, has the appearance Of
being ready to fall over. The driving.
wheel is geared into a smaller wheel
which connects directly with the crank,
and four revolutions of the latter are re-
quired to make one of the driving-wheel.
The locomotive is not connected with the
car, but simply pushes it up gently in the
ascent, and allows it to follow gently in
the descent. A wrought-iron dog con-
stantly plays into notches on the driving
heel, so that should any part of the ma
chiDery give way the train may be imme.
diateIy stopped. The Car is also supplied
with friction and atmospheric brakes.
The seats are placed at an angle that
brings them almost on a level in the as
cent, and all Of them face down the mount.
