FASHION NOTES.

-Filigree silver bracelets are shaped
like a cuff and are nearly as wide.
Gold or silver sparkling braids are
much used as borders for capotes.
Muslin robes are rendered more ef-
fective by being worn over a slip OF
tinted silk or lawn.
-Half-howing sleeves with Old-fash-
ioned lace underSleeves are seen on
some of the new costumes.
-Princesse dresses designed for sum-
mer wear, are combinations of half
lustrous silk and brocade.
Rough straw hats and bonnets look
well nicely braided with pipings Of
velvet between the braids.
"A beautiful cravat bow is composed
of white embroidered net and a cluster
of pink wild roses and buds.
Many black suits are trimmed with
small gilt buttons, especially those with
which a vest is worn.
Plain wooden fans, handsomely
painted with grotesque figures, carved
on the outside, are among the novel
ties.
"A novel bonnetis composed entirely
of punches of purple grapes, with green
leaves and tendrils intermiXed.
White suits have the fronts cut open
diamond shape, and caught with many
colored loops of narrow ribbon.
-Sun-umbrellas of ecru pongee,
trimmed with pinked-out ruffes and
embroidery, have handles that initiate
closely sticks of wood, knots and all.
The latest device for a lace brooch
is in the shape Of the point of peacock
feather, the cOlors being outlined with
rubieS, emeralds and diamonds.
Ladies' watch chains initiate those
of gentlemen. They are no longer
worn around the neck, but fastened in
a button-hole Of the dress with a bar Of
gold.
The overskirt model with sash
draperv is the latest transition in this
garment that has so long been in vogue.
The simulated overSkirt gives promise
of being popular this summer.
"A new style of bonnet is simple
cottage bonnet. The prettiest Orna
notation which'it can receive is fold
of satin threaded with gold, bow of
satin ribbon on the top, and satin strings
extending straight down the sides OF
the brim.

Remarkable Restoration to Speech OF
Beautiful Young Lady.

The Louisville EUening NeiCS of June
9th says: The particulars Of very re-
markable case were related to the NelrS
representative this morning by gen.
tleman familiar with the particulars.
Miss Flora Rau is the daughter of Mr..
S. Rau, who resides on First Street, be.
tween Market and Jefferson, and is a
dry goods merchant. She is II years
old, and a young lady of rare beauty
and accomplishments. About one year
ago her sister, very beautiful and es-
timable young lady, aged l8yearS, died,
and since that time Miss Fora has been
in the habit of paying visits, at regular
intervals, to her grave. Mrs. Rau,
mother of Flora, is an invalid, and about
three months ago was suddenly stricken
down by disease, and for time her life
was greatly endangered. Miss Flora is
warmly attached to her, evincing for her
an afectionate tenderness rarely dis
played by a child for parent, and
when the sudden visitation Of illness to
the mother occurred she was so greatly
shocked thereat and her nervous system
so affected that she lost her speech, aud
from that time until yesterday was una
BILE to articulate even the shortest and
most simple words.
On Tuesday little three. year-old
cousin Of Miss Rau died, and the funer-
al took place yesterday. Miss Flora
desired to attend the funeral, but her
mother felt unwilling for her to 90 on
account of the deep grief she manifested
at the child's deathly bearing, that, in
her nervous condition, her health might
become more seriously impaired. The
young lady was persistent, however, and
was allowed to go.
And now comes the most remarkable
part of this singular case, mixed up as
it is with the dead and sick. At the
funeral Miss Flora's grief found free ex-
preston in tears, but there were no 9th
er outward manifestations of it. On
her return home, however, she rushed
into the presence of her mother, ex-
claiming, "Oh, mamma, mamma, |
can speak," uttering the words in
suffering, hesitating manner. And
now her speech is fully restored, and
she can converse with her friends as
freely as before the remarkable loss of
her speech following her mothers per-
ilous illness. The joy Of the parents,
family and friends of the young lady,
who is a great favorite on account Of
her many accomplishments of person
and mind, at her restoration to speech
may be imagined, but not described.
Yet the singular manner in which the
terrible af1lction came, and the restora-
ton which followed, will certainly inter-
est the medical profession as much as it
has astonished her friends and acQuaint.
