THE INoFFENsIvE DERBY"
1t Swoops on to the Women's Heads,
to the Chagrin and Loss of the Mil
liners.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The milliners are in a dilemma, and
the cause of it is the jaunty headgear
called the Derby" One feature of
these hats is an absence Of expensive
trimming. The "Derby' has a con
tempt for superlative adornment. 1t
gets its back up on a couple of puffs.
and peers down from from a forest of
bangs and crimps oblivious of feathers
or bowsAthat is, of ribbon bows.
Now, there is one secret of the milf
ner's art which the women do not I'M
derstand as well as the men-that is, the
cost of making up a hat. The m%illiners
sell a hat dirt cheap. They charge no
more than perhaps so or 60 cents. So
1872 feather is necessary, or a flower
garden must be planted on top, to
throw it into perfection. When, there
fore, an %inoffensive Derby comes along
and swoops on to the women's heads,
needing no fringes, the milliner's trade
is curtailed. Wl1a
The Philadelphia milliners have SO
far undertaken no scheme of revenge
but they are terribly chagrined when
they see ladies who formerly thought
nothing of investing in a hat or bonnet
ranging in price anywhere from $40 to
$50 now satisfied to deck their charm
ing heads with so or 60 cents worth of
felt. In New York, however, the feel
ing is so great that milliners advertise
"a popular hat for colored people, and
one firm disposes of them to that class
of the community at 10 cents apiece.
hoping thereby TO render them unpopu-
lar among the Upper Ten.
In Baltimore, recently, a procession
of colored girls from an orphan asylum
was fitted out with Derby hats by a
combined effort of suffering milliners,
and the effect upon fashionable bellies
was startling. The trade has enjoyed a
steady Improvement ever since. A
Chestnut street firm is in distress at the
fact that since the "Derbyn came into
the market they have sold at least / 900
dozen, and in no case has the cost for
trimming, wherein lies the meat for the
milliner, barely exceeded q 25-cent
piece. 1t is rarly that the customer
holds the vantage, but for once the
woman and the pocket-book agree.

'l%t me sce-press it into his piece
of bread and give il to me"
And press the ring into a piece Of
bread she did, and gave it to the future
emperor. Nicholas took All carly OPP
p~ortunity to leave the hall, and on ex-
huming the treasure from it's wheaton
tomb discovered an inscription on the
inner side in French. and running to
the following effect: "L'Imperatrice
de la Russie."
He is said to have worn the keepsake
for the rest of his days, attached to a
chain round his neck, the ring being
too small of course for any of his colos-
sal fingers. The future empress, it
seems, had been unconsciously wearing
for some time the emblem of her future
greatness.

Romance of a Ring.

A princess of Prussia at one time re-
ceived a small and antique ring from
her governess for a present. About a
year after the occurrence the court re-
ceived a visit from the Grand Duke
Nicholas, the brother of the Emperor
Alexander, and who at that time a
not the heir-expectant of the crown.
The Grand Duke saw the princess, and,
with the quick resolve native to his dis
position, Immediately determined to ask
her in marriage. One day, as he was
seated by her side at the royal dinner
table, he spoke to her Of his forthcom-
ing departure, adding that it depended
upon her whether or not his stay in Ber-
lin should be prolonged.
"What shall 1 do, then, to influence
your intentionsp" was the reply of the
smiling princess.
"You must not refuse to receive my
addresses" Immediately returned the
outspoken Nicholas.
"You ask much"
81 ask even more. You ought to
give me some encouragement in my en-
deavors to please you."
'That is still more difficult. Be-
sides, the moment is not well chosen
for a favor"
81 beg your royal highness to give me
a sign that I am not totally Indifferent
to you. You have a little ring on your
finger, the possession Of which would
render me happy. I beseech you to
give me the ring"
"What! give the ring at the dinner
table, and in the presence of all these
peoplepn 20

Republican Meeting at Napo1eonville.
The Republicans of Assumption parish
held large and enthusiastic mass meet
ing at Napoleonville on Sunday last, the
23rd inst, which was attended by about
1900 people, including a liberal repre-
sentation Of whites. The meeting was
called to ertlerby Hon. Geo. Washington,
president of the parish executive COM
mittee, who proposed Hon. George Drury
for chairman and MIR. A. J. Jones for
secretary. These gentlemen were duly
elected, together with a number Of vice
presidents. The speakers were Gen. Jack
Wharton, Col. James Lewis and Mr.. L.
d. Herbert Of New Orleans, all Of whom
spoke III their best vein. Their eloquent
addresses were listened to with the great
est attention and elected frequent bursts
Of applause. A brass band was i'll at
tendance, and its melody measurably
heightened the interest taken in the pro-
ceedings. The best of feeling was mani
tested throughout, and when the meeting
adjourned with cheers for Beattie and
the Republican ticket, the people dis
persed to their homes well pleased with
what they had heard and favorably i'm
pressed by the arguments Of the orators
in behalf of the Republican party and
its candidates.

Republican Meeting at Dutch Stores.

Republican Meeting at Dutch Stores.
On Saturday last, November u, Re
publican mass meeting was held at the
Dutch Stores. in the eighth ward, which
attracted ii fair attendance of the white
and colored people of that beautiful re-
gon. 1t was the first time, we believe,
y Republican meeting had ever been held
there. aud this circumstance doubtless
enhanced the interest shewn by the. as
se,nbled voters in the proceedings Of the
occasion. The meeting organized by the
selection of Arthur Burnett, Esq, as
president, and Rev. c. 6. Burnett as

duced in the order named aud addressed
the people with marked effect. Mr..
Earhart gave telling exposition Of the
attitude of the two political parties upon
the issues Of the day and made torcible
appeal to all classes Of Lonisianians to
join with the Republican party in carry
ing out the policy Of that organization,
which is manifestly best calculated to
advance the interests Of this State and
its people. The speaker made many good
points which lack OF space deters lis from
fccapitulating. Mr.. Bentley's address
was mainly devoted to local matters
and his arguments in behalf of the reg

An Interesting Question.
Does the Moon Exercise any influence

Does the Moon Exercise any Influence
Upon Vegetation?
ASCENSION, Nov..l8, 1879.
EDITOR CHIEF:
Perhaps you will allow one, who, al
though stranger to You personally, is
not at all stranger to your valuable
paper, to open question that has been,
and is much discussed in this vicinity by
many who take the CHIEF regularly, and
telligent exchange of ideas on the sub
jeCt.
Has the moon any direct influence on
the terminating principle of vegetation
There arc many shrewd and success
full growers of vegetables in this neigh
borhood, who are pionsly scrupulous
about the time to SOW seeds, whether in
the dirk or light Of the moon. They also
attend to the signs Of the zodiac in the
almanacs both in their gardening and
veterinary operations.
There are others who go ON with a
sovereign contempt for all signs and
phases, and who seem to be equally sue
cessful with their crops. Each can prove
his own theory correct from his own ex-
perience. But (which is which'"
There is no longer any doubt in the
minds of our most advanced physicians
and savants as to the effect of lunar ill.,
fuence on the insane. DR.. Winslow says,
at is a we'll established fact that in
sanity is disease of the mind upon
which the moon exercises an unques-
tionable influence. The new moons and
the last quarters are the phases which
influence this class Of patients most fire.
quently and painfully"
Dagain says, II have observed diff
ference between the influence exerted by
this planet on madness characterized by
excessive joy, and that by sorrow and
melancholy. It is proved that this inhu-
ence is much more marked in parts Of the
countries bordering ON the sea, than
those at distance from it.
As for the moons influence on the
tides, no one who has ever lived week
by the sea can doubt it.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if this singular planet
has such effect on the Vastly deep, and on
man, the noblest work of Cod, it may
well be that it may have all the effect
claimed for it by the class | have men
toned first, but all our scientific agricnl-
turists and journalists, whether in their
speeches OF written articles, utterly ig-
more and laugh at all such superstitious
nonsense. Perhaps some of your many
readers by stating their experience with
certain seeds planted at specified phases
of the moon, could tell us something in
teresting on this interesting subject.

o'clock, MARY CECILIA WARNER,
daughter Of John Warner, aged 10 years
and 26 days.
AS blooms the flower at early morn,
Beneath the rising sun,
Ere the closing Of the day it's shorn
Gifts beauty. and its life is done;
Thus passed away this pure young life,
From this world of sin and pain:
From sphere Of woe. a sphere OF strife,
In one Of peace to rel gn.
We knew that she is happier far,
Up in that glorious realm
That she's as fair and bright a star,
As shines upon Christ's diadem.
All she dwells up there a lovely Saint,
In the beautcous world Of gold
Without a blur, without faint,
She joins the angelic fold.
