Notes on the Fashions.

The bonnets worn for full dress in Paris, says Harper's BasGr, are, very small, and those of white or ofshrimp pink plush find most favor Sheres sRearl lace and the new Kensington laces with long stitches of white floss are the trim nnings on these, to which are added curled short ostrich tips, or else 8 very long plume that passes behind and falls on the shoulder.

Lawyer and Witness.

A young lawyer of the city of Provi- dence tells story about himself which is good enough to go on record. He was trying ''rum case" at Bristol not long ago, when a witness was put on the stand to testify to the reputation of the place in question. The witness, stage driver, in answer to a query as to the reputation of the place, said:
 s'A rum shop"
 The lawyer inquired: "You say it has the reputation of being rum shop ?"
 "Yes, sir.
 "Whom did you ever hear say it was a rum shop?"
 The witness didn't recollect of any one he had heard say so.
 'What ," said the lawyer, syou have sworn this place has the reputation of being rum shop, and yet you can't tell of any one you ever heard say SOP"
 The witness was staggered for mo- ment-in the words of the lawyer, 'I had him"--and the lawyer was feeling triumphant, when the witness gathered himself together and quietly remarked, addressing the lawyer:
 'Well, you have the reputation of being very smart lawyer, but 1 never heard any one say so,"-Providence Journal. -.s

The orchards have not given returns, in quantity or quality, equal to those

A War Incident.

The cry of sOn to Richmond" awak- ened no enthusiasm in the hearts of the Third Ohio one day when they found themselves era route as prisoners of war for that famous capitol. Nor were they enthusiastic when they halted for the night and prepared to sink supperless into dreamland.
 The Fifty fourth Virginia regiment was encamped near by, and some of the men came down to have look at the "Yanks."
 < "Had your coffee p' asked one, of a blue coat stretched disconsolately on the bank.
 ''Not SUD-" answered the other.
 "Aint you had any rations tonight ?'' "Only crumb or two from the bot toms of our haversacks."
 This was told to the boys of the Fifty. fourth, and old Virginia hospitality showed itself at once. The men soon made their appearance with coffee ket- ties, corn bread and bacon, the best they had. In few minutes the coffee was steaming, the bacon cooked, and pris- oners and captors sat down together around the camp fire, ''ike kinsmen true and brothers tried" The hungry Yankees ate with a relish such as no one can appreciate unless he has been in like situation.
 No wonder there was a warm spot in every heart of the Third Ohio ever after for the generous Fifty fourth.
 A fresh slide in the magic lantern gives another of these shifting war pictures In the distance is Mission Ridge, which has just been stormed. That long line of prisoners passing over the pontoon bridge and up the stony mountain road is the Fifty-fourth Virginia. A soldier on duty at Kelly's Ferry asked indiffer- ently of one of the prisoners, as the regi- ment passed
 io'sWhat regiment is this9" '"The Fifty-fourth Virginia" was the reply.
 In an instant the loungers sprang to their feet and rushed to camp. "The Fifty-fourth Virginia is at the ferry," they shouted, as they ran in and out among the tents of the Third Ohio.
 The Ohio boys were quickly in mo- tion. Boxes from home and all reserve stores were speedily ransacked. Coffee and sugar, beef and canned peaches, and the best they had of verything, were freely brought forth. They re- membered gratefully their debt of honor, and paid it nobly. It was the same old scene over, with the shading reversed. For one night at least both Confederates and Tanks enjoyed again the sweet grace of hospitality that could bring smile even to the grim visage of war.

Leaving the play the trouble came to reach home. The stprmc optinued; ;thee ear in which I was became blocked in nearly every square, cold current of air swept through the car, and | did not reach my home until toward 2 a. m., by which time my neck had become abso- lutely riQid. Then I consented to the use of St. Jacobs Oil, which my wife applied two or three times before l arose.
