THE REVIVAL OF HOOPS.

Foreign papers report that in opposition to
the limp, lank skirt of the aesthetic, the Paris
ian modistes are bringing forward the crino-
lette, which is simply revival Of the hoop
skirt. The shops in Charleston are again dis
playing hoop skirts, and report good sale
for them. At one time hoop skirt manufac-
tories were numerous, aud a large capital was
engaged in the business. Since the hoop skirt
went out of fashion, the factories have nearly
all disappeared, and the capital has gone into
other enterprises. The New York Sun re-
ports Mr. Bradley, of Bradley, VOORHEES, 4
Day, as saying:
II recollect the time when we employed
1900 hands, and our product was 10 900 skirts
day. That was during the war, but about
1868 the hoop skirt went out of fashion and
the trade died out. There was transient re-
Yival in 1870, but it disappeared, and from
then until now the hoop skirt trade has been
very small part of our business. We have
always continued the manufacture to some ex.
tent, getting orders every now and then, most
ly from the South and West. Some ladies
have never given up the use of the hoop skirt
at all but they have been old.fashioned peo-
pie who liked it because of its comfort. Now.
however, it is in fashion again. The demand
has sprung up so suddenly that it is impossi.
BILE to meet it. For the last six months there
has been an increasing demand, al. in the
last few weeks, in addition to the local demand,
we have been constantly receiving orders by
telegraph from Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
other cities, and are sold ahead of production

A Richmond Romance.

WESTERN WHOEVER, IN SEEKING G0Y-
ERSEss, SECURES CHARMING WIPE IN THIS
CITY.
In works OF fiction we read OF romances,
and generally discount them rs oyerdrawn
pictures Of real life; yet there is scarcely a
community that does not furnish from time
10 time romantic incidents which are as re-
markabe as any that ever emanated from
the Imagination OF the noyel-writer. The
events which led to recent marriage IN
this city Is q case In point.
About two weeks ago young lady, VINO
has always moved in the best circles OF
Richmond society, chanced 10 read IN the
Hartford Churckmdn an advertisement In
whicn widower in Ohio wished TO secure
the services OF goyerness to take charge OF
his little girl, about six or eight years OF
age, Being dependent upon her molber, O
widow in very moderate circumstances, the
Young lady, who Is very pretty blonde,
and who has hiobminded, noble character,
determined to make application for the po-
st on with the hope OF gaining an inde-
pendent livelihood, and Of assisting her
mother. She accordingly visited her pas
tor. a weIIknown clergyman OF the city,
and also distinguished iurlst here,
and obtained from them letters OF
recommendation, which she forwarded
to the widower with her applicn-
ton. The high character Of the gentlemen
as well as the cordial and beautiful manner
in which they expressed thsir entire en-
dorsaiiOn Of the young ladY's clpabilltles
and beauties OF character, had such great
weight with the widower that, describing the
great number OF applications with which ne
was bcset, he came on TO Richmond, satisfied
that here he would find tue lady he desired.
He called upon her and had several satis-
factory interviews; indeed they were salts
factory to such q degree that upon the gen.
tleman's departure for the North the early
part OF last week the aforementioned cer'
evman was astonished 10 receive a note
from him announcing that he had deter
mined not to take the lady he had recon-
mended for goYerness, but that he desired 10
secure his services in making her his WIFE
I'm a few davs thereafter he returned to
Richmond, and the wOuld-be governess was
married TO the gentleman from ONO on
Wednesday afternoon last al 4 O'Clock.
The ceremony was quietly performed by
the clergyman who had been in part lnstru'
mental in bringing the pair together, only
the immediate family and one Ortwo friends
being present. The groom is about nfty'
five years Of age, is gentleman OF means
and is Represented as Of fine appearance
| As wedding-gift, be settled upon bis new
ly.made bride the handsome sum OF $50, 600
The bride, it may stated, is highly con
nected, and is cousin Of one OF the mos
noted and fascinating bellies that Richmond
has known in this generation.
The bridal party left on the Z. NJ. tran
the same day for Niagara aud an extended
tour through the North and West, and IN
the fall will sail for Europe, where they
will permanently reside.

About the President.

" NE, TOO "-BROILED CHICKEN FOR BREAK
FAsT-THAT SEA VOYAGE.
al won't say that the President is out Of
DANGER" said Dr. Bliss to a representative
Of the American this afternoon, "but |
will say, he added, that he Is doing better
than any Of the physicians expected, and II
he does not survive this thing ], for one,
will be greatly mistaken" DR.. ReYburD,
who was standing near DR.. Bliss while the
reporter addressed the latter, looked up
with twinkle in bis eye and said, "Me,
too"
WHAT THE PRESIDENT ATE YESTERDAY.
He ate a breast OF a chicken to-day with
his other food, seeming to relish 1t very
much. The patient continues TO be bright
and cheerful, and, what seems good indi-
cation OF his progress, he continues 10 mani
fest desire 10 talk Of outside matters. His
mind seems fixed on his proposed sea yoy-
age, and he refers to it continually. And
Just here let me say word about the PTesl-
dents sea voyage. 1t has opened up new
field for patent agents and others who seek
nOtOriety out OF this thing. There arrived
at the White House this morning from New
York an agent OF patent hammock, war
ranted to prevent sea-sickness. tie saw
Colonel Rockwell and dilated TO him on the
merits OF the invention, which he SAID had
been highly endorsed by General b. +.
Butler. The enterprising agent was refer
red TO the Secretary Of the Navy. He was
also Informed that the published statements
with reference to the Presidents proposed
trip were premature.
THE TEMPERANCE PEOPLE UNEASY.
The extreme temperance people have be-
gun 10 manifest symptoms Of alarm about
the quantity OF rum or wine that the Presl-
uont has been given. This they have mag
niiied into large proportions. The truth Is,
that the President so far since the shooting
has not consumed over pint altogether OF
rum and wine combined. In no one day
has he taken over eight teaspoOnfuls OF
rum, and that in diluted form.
THE PRESIDENT A MODEL PATIENT.
One OF the Presidents nurses was inter-
viewed yesterday aud said: "The Presi-
dent does not complain at oil. He IS a
model patient. His brain has always been
clear since be was shot and his mind is very
active. The newspapers are read to him
each day Just a little, so that he gets drib-
| lets OF news. Nothing Of an exciting or
personal character is iead to him."
"YOu have put the President back to
liquid detf"
EYES" she answered. 1t is thought
best for awhile. He is perfectly satisfied
with it, and it was not his fault at all the
other day when he got too much food for
one in his condition, and suffered little
uneasness from il. That morning be had
enjoyed his breakfast, eating quite heartily,
| but early in the day he was ordered food
again when he did not need or want IT..
However, he partoOk OF it, and the result
OF it was increase in temperature aud sick
stomach. 1t is hardly possible such an er-
rOr will occur again."
