Feathers and Humming Birds.

Feathers have resumed their prestige,
and are used In great profusion. not
only covering the entire hat with their
fiuify-flues, but handsome ostrich plumes
droop carelessly and gracefully over the
back of head and down shoulders. The
ribbons for strings and bows are in
MORE, satin. and plush. Although feath-
ers are most popular as trimmings, still
many very elegant hats are further
adorned with oriental beading in large
beads, or in bands of small-sized illumi-
mated beads, together with gold thread
or silver and bronze effects, great
quantities of gold-headed pins being u.s.
ed to secure pufis and folds Of plush or
velvet.
Among quantities of exquisite novel
ties made to order during the past week
was hat Of pink-plush, trimmed with
three very pretty and dainty plumes in
pink and blue. Another in bonnet
shape, of smoke-colored velvet, gather
ed on frame edged with lace and trim
medin front with a dropping cluster Of
feathers, which also extend over the side.
A very handsome hat is made entirely
Of shrimp-colored feathers, in ostrich
tips and plumes. The shape is very
large and striking, and the hat is lined
underneath iththe same dainty plumes
Another shape shows an ornament Of
pleated blue velvet, with each pleat PIN
ned in place by gold-headed pin, with
long feather plumes dropping over the
trimming and down the back Blue and
drab plush, two shades in light blue,
rose, and flesh pink. Nile green and
pink are used in combination plush hats,
the crown being Of one color and the
brim of the other, with plumes in one
or both colors or shaded,
A beautiful bonnet of white plush has
embroidered crown in satin beads and
border of fluffy ostrich plumes which ex-
tend over back. Another of pale pink
plush has six handsome feathers on
front, one side and on back, while the
other side shows wreath of handsome
crushed roses. And still another model,
shaped like Rubens hat, in delicate
steel color, with superb plumes sprink-
led with steel powder wreathmg the hat
and falling in double curls all over the
shoulder. In many cases Of these ex-
ceedingly delicate hats the feathers are
fastened underneath the head or breast
feathers Of the radiant Impeyan, which
Eliminates exquisitely under gaslight.
Humming-birds heads and breasts are
also in great demand, and indeed, all
kinds of tropical feathers are in requisi-
ton.
Another fancy is for collarette Of
lace, plush, brocade, or satin to match
the hat, which is most convenient for
ladies wD have handsome dresses, but
cannot afford the cloak as we'll One

How Wilkes Booth Was Buried.

AS newspaper correspondent l. had
occasion to visit the old capitol prison,
in Washington, in February, 1869, to
witness the eyhumation and the rendi-
ton to their respective friends and rela-
tives the remains of the conspirators in
the Lincoln assassination. President
johnson was about to 60 out of Office,
and he issued an order permitting chris
tian burial TO the bodies of the five per-
sons implicated in the death of Lincoln
Booth, Mrs. Surratt Atzerodt, PAYNE,
and Harold. They had been buried in
ammunition boxes of common pine
wood, six feet long, two feet wide, and
two feet deep. When the lid was lifted
from Booths coffin his face was perfect,
with the exception of small hole
about the size of dime in each cheek.
His hair was in as good condition as if
he had just come out of BARRIERS shop.
In taking out the body TO place it in .
handsome rosewood coffin supplied by
his mother, Mrs. Booth, of Baltimore,
the head dropped off from the body.
Not so with Mrs. Surratt. Her face and
form were perfect, and she looked like
one in happy, dreamless sleep. Her
head adhered TO the body in the process
of transfer. Payne's body was greatly
wasted, but Atzerodt's was the worst Of
all; for when the army blanket that COW
cred his remains was lifted up it re-
vealed shapeless mass of blackened
bones and ashes, with bald and separ-
ated skull in one corner. Talking of
this matter of the Lincoln assassination,
remember asking Andrew Johnson one
day when we were travelling together
through East Tennessee, at q time when
he was running for congressman-at-
large against Horace Maynard and Frank
Cheatham. why it was he did not par
don Mrs. Surratt He was in COM
municative mood and he said: Tho
true history of that case has never been
told. IL was represented in the papers
that refused TO see Annie Surratt (the
daughter of Mrs. Smratt when she
came to the White House the morning
Of the execution asking for the pardon
of her mother. The fact is that | never
knew il was Miss Surratt; because
man named Muzzy, who had general
charge of the White House, came to me
and said crazy woman was down stairs
and wanted to get in and see me, and
she wouldn't give her name, but was
crying and tearing her hair, and exhib-
tied all the appearances of insanity"
"But would you have pardonea Mrs.
Surratty' asked, "supposing you had
known betterpn
II don't think would" he replied.

shooting, but she was an accessory to

"THE DEVIL HE DIDW
