plain bonnet with rather high crown
called the Hebe, is trimmed with
bands Of silk around the crown and
several large bows on the front and
the left side of the bonnet, completely
covered by beautiful spray of flow
ers extending from the front over the
strings where they cross in the back.
Another pretty bonnet is of fine straw,
the shape something like the one des-
cribed above, is trimmed with bands
of ribbon, and directly in front large
Alsatian bow and plumes falling over
the left side. The face trimming is
two rows of Breton lace, of which the
strings are also made. This lace is
used great deal now on bonnets,
neckties, ETC., and the real is rather ex-
pensive, being $3.50 per yard up
wards according to the width, while
imitation, which only exports can dis
tinguish from the real, is from 20
cents q yard up. P1cKENs.

THE Boston Post prints bright
picture, AZ follows: "The factories are

to resume work and if the foreign mar
ket could be still more rapidly ex-
tended by intelligent legislation their
prospects would improve at much
more speedy pace. Even real estate,
which is the last to rally, feels the eff

and improves its figures and preten-

stage, in fact, at which further move
ment is possible in but one direction.
Everything must now 60 forward.

A deep and absorbing interest

Agreeable Conversation.

To be able to converse we'll in a
mixed company, is a truly enviable
acquisition, and, although the per-
sons remarkable for such an accom-
plishment are rare, yet, anybody
with a fair education may learn the
art we'll enough to be able, at least,
to converse agreeably. Close appi-
cation to systematic reading OF the
best authors is one of the first essen
tials. Much reading maketh wise
man" is an old and true saying; but
the presumption is that his reading
should be unexceptionable in all it's
characteristics. Distinguished ora
ators are not always the most pleas
ing men to converse with, on ac-
count of the difficulty they find in
descending from the strictly de-
clamatory style to that of socia! in
tercourse. There were more emf
nent conversationalists among the
ancients, other things being equal,
than there are among the mUierns
This is easily explained when we re-
member that GOOD books were the
exception and not the iule, in those
times; almost all instruction having
been given orally by the teachers to
their listening auditors. Tutors
who spend much of their time in tue
recitation rooms OF our colleges and
high schools are, almost withou, ex-
ception. good takers in the social
circle. Besides good reading, a nice
attention should be paid to the most
approved rules of pronunciation,
even in the most common dialogue.

A Serious Charge.
Arrest for EmbeZZlement.

Our people were shocked, this
morning, on learning that Mr.. S. W.
Hall, who has been one of Olympia's
we'll known citizens for che last ten
or twelve years, was arrested last
night, by detective from Macoupin
county. Illinois, on rather a serious
charge. From a brief conversation
with Mr.. Daniel Delany, the detec-
tive, we learn that Mr.. Hall, alias
George FL. Holiday, is alleged to
have been Clerk of Macoupin coun-
ty, ILL.,, for some time previous to
1868, his term of Office expiring dur
ing that year; that the said Geo. H.
Holiday left, in the Autumn of
1870 for parts unknown to the peo-
pie of Macoupin county; that during
the clerkship of Holiday, the Com
missloners issued county bonds to
tie amount of a million and half of
dollars, to be building a courthouse.
After Holiday left the country, it
was discovered that large number
of bonds. purchased by the people,
had not been properly registered by
him, upon whom it devolved to
ell out and sign them. We were
shown the requisition commanding
arrest of " one George H. Holiday,
aud in that instrument larceny was
the alleged crime, without any
amount being designated. Report
has it, however, that three or more
persons were concerned with Holii-
day in the enlightenment of the money
received for TIE non-registered
bonds, amounting, it is said, to about
$4,000. Measures were at once
taken to work the matter up, and
Holiday was indicted in 1872. The

will have hearing, tomorrow, be-
fore Judge Greene, at Kalama, where
court is now III session. Macoupin
county, Ill, is one of the richest dis

ENGLAND is getting her pay, with
compound interest at fearful rates,
for going to war with Afghanistan.
No less an authority than the Lon
don Times comes out in financial
summary and says: Industries
have been disorganized, credit shak-
en-, and failures will be nearly five
thousand more than last year. Not
only have wages been reduced and
many thousands of artizans thrown
out of employment, but many thous-
ands above the artizan class are eith->
er in actual want or on the confines
of it; that Increasing numbers are
driven to grant bills of sale on their
effects, is one sign of what is going
on in the ranks of the lower and
middle classes" The above doleful
extract only depicts few Of the do
mestic troubles of the nation; by far
the greatest calamity of England will
DO the loss of her fair name among
the unsympathizing nations of the
earth.
