Flowers and Feathers.

A chapter might be written on the
old-fashioned flowers that artistic dress
ing has brought into use. Those with
yellow and red shades predominate and
include the marigold, sun-aower, dam
delion, butter-cups, carnations, asters,
dahlias and other stif-petaled flowers;
chrysanthemums, poppies, and peonies
NOT of the largest slzes-are copied to
perfection, and the great crushed roses
without foliage are shown in every
shade that nature has ever presented
them, from the palest tea-rOse to the
darkest red damask roses. The large
flowers are commended for corsage
bonnets but tasteful milliners know
that the most graceful trimmings for
bonnets are made up of fine flowers,
such as heliotrope, myosotis, mignOn-
cite, violets and pansies, with merely
one or two large flowers to give the rich
coloring required now by fashion.
Ostrich feathers come in the three
small tips that represent the three nod
ding feathers of the Prince of Wales,
and are now in different shades of one
color rather than in the contrasting
colors that were too much in the feather
duster style they are very handsome
when showing cream, Tuscan and lsa-
belle shades, or else graded from beige
to pheasant brown or from pearl to
heliotrope. These nodding plumes are
chosen for Tuscan and chip hats, while
for the more full lace bonnets are
the light, fluffy Inarabout feathers of
delicate hue, tipped on the edges with
cashmere colors. For walking bonnets
in turban shape, and for round hats,
are stiff feathers-mo breastfeaJh-
ers and wings-that pass around the
front and sides of the crown and entire
ly trim the hat in the way so popular
during the winter. Pheasant's brown
feathers and those of the Guinea-hen
are used for these, while others COM
bine the blue green Lophophore and
gold eyes of peacock feathers to form
cashmere colors and Japanese combi-
nations. Quantities of tiny green bugs
and beetles are set about on these
feathers, and again the feathers form
butterflies, rosettes or thistles.--HGr-

Early Spring Vegetables.

We suppose that not even the most
practical epicures enjoy their dainty
dishes more than the average human
being does his early vegetables; and
considering how comparatively easy il
is to have some Of these the wonder is
that more is not done to get them. The
reason, perhaps, is that few think of il
till the springtime comes, when it is too
late to do much in the way of getting
them. This is the time to begin to
think about these things. Many Vege-
tables start into growth with very little
heat, and even the protection of fence
will often bring things forward some
days before those which have ground
and bleak winds TO contend with. We
know garden near this city, which
has but low wall about four feet high
around it; but even this is a wonderful
screen from cold winds, Up under the
north wall of the little garden, in the
full southern sun, is the rhubarb and
the asparagus, and this little advantage
alone gives them near two weeks start
on their neighbors with these two Vege-
tables. It is not always convenient, or
even desirable, to have wall like this,
but almost anyone can have thick
arbor-vit@ hedge, which will answer
nearly as well.
Besides this, much can be done by
hot-bed frames, as they are generally
called, although when no manure is
used to make an artificial warmth they
are by the gardeners called cold frames.
These placed over crops bring them for
ward considerably. Beds of asparagus
can be made with an especial view to
having them covered with sash in this
manner, and when spring comes both
radishes and lettuce can be sown on the
earth under the grass, and will grow
on and do well without much interfer-
ence from the asparagus growing up
between them.
So with Strawberries. A few sash set
over the plants in warm and dry stu
alton brings them on wonderfully. Of
course when one begins these practices
some Judgment will be required in the
management. AS a general rule the
sash should be let off in hot days, put
ting them on only at nights to keep off
the white frosts and keep the ground
warm. This warmth is also aided by
putting on the sash earlyin the evening,
SO as to inclose body Of warm air be-
fore the sun entirely goes down. If the
sash is kept on all the time the plants
become weak for want of air during the
daytime, and are then more
liable to injury by night.
1t is on these little matters that some
is required, but it soon comes
as natural to one with little expert
ence as swimming does to young
duck. just as in the case of a duck,
too, it is sort of Judgment which no
or anything but natural tact
can teach. Let all who have gardens
.ook around just now and see when it
San be done. They will find more
chances for these little family enjoy
nents than many Of them ever dreamed
1f, and no doubt will thank us for the
suggestion when they find how well
heir thoughtfulness now is rewarded |

TUNES will be made, as heretofore, in
blue, brown and mixed Aannels of fine
light quality, and will consist of blouse
waists and kilt skirts. Prominent
among new patterns for girls spring
suits is one consisting of skirt formed
by overlapping rows of deep pleating
and a pannier basque. This costume
is completed by sacque in Vandyck
style, which will probably prove popu-
lar as a spring wrap. In spring goods,
both for wraps and dresses, light tan,
cream ecru and similar shades will be
very popular in cashmeres, de beges
and light cloths.

and high social character, and the best
efforts that q tired mind Sad body could

the Knights and Ladies.
They listened attentiVely, and I think,
approximately; for on the following even

For the amusement and edifcation of
our Huntington friends, We might men
ton Gas an item that the probabilities
are more than possible, in fact, the pos
abilities are probable, that the Railroad
Packets will make their terminus at
Ashland before next falls oyster season
sets in. In short the G. o. r. r. trsns

place IA miles farther down the river,
than at prsssnt-lrOntOn Era.

emanats from the pen of our friend
Combs, although we know it exists to q
great degree among his tcwSmen. Now,
John, we rejoice that connection by
rail is to be made between this city and
Ashland, and hope soon to see one made
With IrOnton. As to the transfer OF
freight and passengers from steamers to
cars, it is q we'll known fact that the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company
would be a set Of idiots did they not
seek TO bnild up the business over their
road, and not let the business pass to

to become too low for boats to reach this

The Springer Estate,


have been teening with accounts of an
intended meeting Of the heirs OF one
Charles Christopher Springer Of Sweden,
but who afterwards removed to this coun-
try, for the purpose Of taxing the neses-
sary steps to recovering the estate for'
merly belonging to him, but which is
now claimedlto be'in the hands ofstrang-
erB. This meeting took place in St.
Louis on the morning of the Goth inst ,
and was very largely attended by heirs
from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Miss
iSsippi, Kansas, Colorado, Iowa, Rhode

Missouri, California, and West Virginia,

can be gathered OF the extensive gene

deposition is to the effect that he acted
solely as the business and financial
agent Of the archbishop for the henefit

1886. He said he did sort of banking
business, receiving money on deposit
and paying interest. The money was
not used for his or tho archbishop's
personal benefit, but for building
churches and orphan asylums, and for
charity, and for educating priests in
Rome, France and other places. The

importunate creditors, who got mort

was liable. The archbishop testified
that none Of the money received from
deposits was applied to any personal
use.
