Rev. J. I. Bonner, DID,, promi-
nent minister of the Associate Re-
formed Church, and President of
Due West Female College, died
Friday, the 29th ultimo. The death
of DR.. Boz ner is a great loss to the
church, and to the college over
which he has presided so ably and
successfully for many years. Or.

The deadlock continues in the

Ihe deadlock continues III the
Senate.
The Senate was called together
in extra session by the President
the 4th of March fer the purpose of
acting upon Presidential nomina.
tions. Counting Malone as Dem.
ocrat the Democrats had a majority.
But Malone proved not to be a
Democrat; he joined the Republi
cans, which made tie-39 to 36-
Vice. President Arthur having the
casting vote. Instead Of acting on
the Presidents nominations the
Republicans set about Immediately
10 reorganize the committees, to
which the Democrats made very
little objection. They then at
tempted to remove the CLERK and
Sergeant alarms; but the Demo
Gratis resisted this. And for about
eight weeks the Senate has been
fighting over this question. On
the surface this appears like very
small proceeding; but there is o
great deal involved in it. The Re-
publicans' can didates for Clerk and
for Sergeant-at-Arms are Gorham
and Riddlebefger, both special
friends of Malone. With these
positions they could exercise a
strong influence upon the next
State election in Virginia, and that
is the reason the Republicans are
so anxious to get them in, and the
Democrats to keep them out. The
Democrats have got the best of it
so far, and they declare that they
will fight it out on this line if it
takes till December. They are
ready at all times to go into execu-
tive session and to act upon the
Presidents nominations, of which
there are over two hundred now
pending.
It is very probable that the Re.
publican members will yield before
another week has passed.

Revenue from the Passenger Traffic in 1880.

The annual report Of Receiver

most gratifying increase of revenue

New York Fashions.

Steel is the most notable of Spring
productions. In itself, of course, it is
nothing novel,. but such yeritab!e
shower of steel as now descends upon
us is rather a. surprising fact 10 the
history of dress. Beginning with the
new bonnet, it covers the entire outfit;
even peeping out FROM. the Spring
slipper. In millinery, We have braids,
cords, beads, ornaments, fringes, laces,
eu:broideries of steel, to say nothing
of steel net works and gauzes laden
with steel spangles. On costumes,
these ideas are repeated, while out
door garments are styIishly orasmeRt-
ed with 6nishings of the sane charac-
ter. ST. you see shat steel can hardly
be misplaced, but it is most tasteful
when combined with black. A mo-
meut's refe, tion suf6ces to show the
refinement of a black satin costume
trimmed with steel, and in the Wa3 of
a bonnet, nothing is more quietly ele-
CANT than slmilar combinations. But
where steel is united with colors, ef-
frcts are frequently in dubious taste
This, indeed, is mild way of putting
it, for to tell the truth plainly results
are oftentimes very bad. Everything
that glitters, however. is fashionable.
Jet is eagerly sought after for this
reason: gilt is in great demand and
irridescent beads are also very popu
lar. Trimmings of material are in as
much v"yue as ever and disposed in
u,uch the same way as formerly; that
is, in kilt plaitiugs, box plsitings,
gathered rufHes, shirrines, etc.

OUT DOOR GARMENTS.

Everybody you meet wears some
thing different, but one is as fashion.
able as the other. Jackets, visises,
circulars, capes, ulsters, redingo,es.
paletots: coats--ali are stylish. Now
when I go on to say that each one Of
the above names represents not one
garment alone but a number of gar
uents differing in minor points, one
can form some idea of the variety. In
the jacket family, for instance, we
have at least a dozen different shapes;
some cut away, others straight, others
long, others short, some with hoods,
some with capes, etc. etc. Last but
not least comes the Mother Hubbard,
with sleirring at the neck and sleeves
aud a very handsome adoption Of the
Mother Hubbard, called the Solana
visite which is shirred into the figure
and has the sleeves shirred also.

points in Florida, and will enjoy
the delights of a ride on the beau

to attend the meeting of the Press
Association, the latter to see that
justice is done.
r. II. Greneker, Jr., of the Ne7os.
takes advantage of the same oppor.
tunity to- enjoy respite from work.
Col. T. B. Crews, of the Laurens
Herald, with his wife, passed
through on the same mission.
Yea, verify, it will be most de-
lightful excursion: the Press and
its wives will make such an impos
ing impression as will call for a
similar edition at the next meeting.
A considerable point will be gained,
too, in that the younger members
under the inference Of the better
halves, won't be disposed to .trisket
to any great extent, and will keep
their forms straight.

EASTER BONNETS.


Small shapes fitting close to the
head are q leading style, but poke
bonnets not a few appear. Flowers
are used 10 profusion and there is a
manifest preference for small or me-
dium sizes rather than large ones
But in all, we see the effects of that
"shadiug" which is now so prominent.
In masses of small flowers there are
constant sslteruatioDs from light to
dark or vice versa while sprays are
almost Invariably shaded from pale to
bright. The same graduating tones
are noticeable in silks and ribbons,
ard when skilfully arranged, produce
beautiful results Most of the new
ribbons in consequence, are very wide
so as to give room for au lusenslole
transition and with the same view,
very wide strings are of silk doubled
and friugei On the ends. Yet mar,
row ribbous are not prohibited, but
these are exceptions. Quite new silks
and ribbous however are uniform in
color and will be worn because The
shaded are expensive. Porcnplne
straws are the newest for general
wear; beirg so called because worn
with sharp projections all over The
the surface An elegant bonnet late
ly chosen by Sarah Bernhardt is of
open work Tuscan straw in poke
shape. The brim is faced with pale
blue satiu and folds Of blue shaded
satin are aid around the crown. A
cluster of pale coral pink flowers orna-
n,euts the left side in front and the
striugs are of shaded blue silk a

Simplicity in Dress.

Our young girls in America do
not seem to have the sense of the
beauty of simplicity in dress. No
young girl looks as young or as
lovely in heavy velvets and loaded
trimmings as i'm simple muslins and
soft, clinging materials. They de-
tract from their own fresh charms
by calling attention to their adorn-
ment. | should be inclined to say
that no jewels, unless single row
of pearls about the throat, no lace
but simple valenciennes, should be
worn by any girl younger than 81.
A dress perfectly fresh, light in col
or (where the complexion admits),
beautifully cui, and almost entirely
untrimmed, cannot be improved up
on for yonng girl. 1t is the sweet
rounded forms, the dewy bloom of
the cheek, the clear young eyes, the
soft, tender lips that we want to see.
Where silks are worn they should
not be of heavy quality, but soft.
Our young girls wear dresses like
dowagers. 1t is futile waste of
money; not beauty is attained

The Midnight sun.

The spectacle of the sun shining
at midnight, attracts many foreign
ers to Swedish Lapland during the
month of June. For six weeks
there is scarcely any night III the
north OF Sweden the sun never sets,
and the soil, constantly heated, pro-
duces, in a month aud half, barley
and other crops. At that time of
the year the Laplanders pen up their
reindeers and move their huts to-
ward the cultivated fields. Being
very hospitable, they greet with joy
the arrival of the tour lists, who gen.
erally meet at Mount Gallaware,
l4S kilometres from Lulea. From
that hill, which is $50 metres high,
the beautiful spectacle of the "mid-
night sun" can be admired in better
condition than from any other place.
The oath of June is the day selected
for the ascension it is the longest
day in the year, the sun being twen-
ty-two hours above the horizon.
This year the oath of June was not
favored with fine weather, and, ow-
ing to the cloudy sky, the sun was
not visible at midnight, but the fol-
lowing day travellers were we'll re-
warded for their trouble, the sun
shining brightly at midnight.

Traiuing Children.

The great blunder which almost
all parents and nursemaids commit
is that when the child takes a whim
against doing what he is wanted to
do-will not eat his bread and but
ter, will not 60 out, not come to his
lessons, etc.,-they, so to speak, lay
hold to his hind leg and drag him to
his duties whereas, person of tact
will almost always distract the
child's attention from its own obsti-
macy, and in a few minutes lead it
gently round to submission. We
know that many persons would
think it wrong not to break down a
child's self-will by main force, to
come to battle with him and show
him that he is the weaker vessel;
but our conviction is that struggles
only tend to make his self-will more
robust. If you can skillfully man
age to delay the dispute for a few
minutes and get his thoughts off the
excitement OF the contest, ter TO one
he will give in quite cheerfully and
this is far better Tor him than tears
and punishment.

Mortality is the object of govern
meut. We want a state of things I'D
which crime will not pay, which al

81 serve; apply my faculty to the
whole extent OF my power to the
service of mankind in my especial
place." He thereby shows reason
for being in the world, and that he
is not an incumbrance. Applause
But the helm is given to a better
guidance than our own, and, seeing
how that guidance has rested on this
Union thus far, l have good conf
dence for the future. 1 feel that in
all directions the light is break
ing that trade and government will
not lose by the overthrow of the
enemies of mankind; that the useful
and the elegant arts will be exer-
cised within us as nation, that the
reason, the noblest affections and the
purest religion will find their sbid-
ing home in our institutions. Loud
applause.
