FASHION NOTES.

Violet, lilac, pansy heliotrope, dahiia
and many other tints of purple are fash
lonable for silk and wool costumes.
Scotch plaid glace silks of very dark
colors are used in combination with
surah and cashmere for semi-dress cos
TUNES.
| Pretty bonnets for spring and summer
have the entire brim covered with loops
of narrow ribbon turned toward the front;
the crown may be of straw or of beaded
lace.
| Rlack Spanish lace costmes are i'm
ported with red or yellow satin Innings.
The bright strawberry red shades are
used for these and are pleated in. the bon
net, parasol and fan.
| Long Jersey gloves, ten button length,
| in silk, silk and linen, or finest cashmere,
are highly favored for spring wear.
These gloves can be found in every de
sirable street shade.
1t is now many months since a report
was raised that panniers were thing of
the past" and would quickly be out of
style. Many feshion writers, learning of
their continued popularity in Paris, de
MED this statement, and it only needs a
very cursory glance around the parlors
of our modistes to perceive how very fal
laCious was their information, and how
little probability there exists of fashion
found so generally, suddenly ceasing TO
exist.
A costly novelty in lingerie is a grace
ful collar of black velvet or satin, cut in
vandykes and richly embroidered on the
deep points with tiny clusters of deep red
roses and buds, and black poppies with
golden hearts. The edges are finished
with slightly gathered ruffles or black
guipure lace, with a pleated frill about
the neck of the same lace. These col
lars ere worn without vestige of white
around the throat. Other collars in the
same style for evening wear are made of
white satin or silk, embroidered in white
marguerites outlined with tiny pearl
beads, and finished around the points
with frills of pearl-beaded venetian lace.
The fashions and fabrics this year
ought to suit everybody, for any material
made in almost any style is admirable,
provided the dress is perfect in fit. Col
Ors also have range enough TO suit
everv complexion that nature or art ever
produced. But there is always one pre-
vailing tint, and just now yellow holds
ing yellow of some shade; houses are
draped with yellow hangings, and bon
nets, hats, flowers, laces, and dress ma
terials all have bilious tendency. Fair
and dark beauties alike affect the color,
whereas until recently it was considered
suitable only to brunettes of decided
type; but in its brownish shades it is now
thought to be as becoming to fair people
as is pink mauve or blue. There is an
infinite variety of yelloWs already crowd
ing the store windows and adorning the
modiste's parlors. and still there's more to
follow. Even now they run from yell
low, Havana brown, and wallfiower in all
its varieties. to bright pumpkin and sun
flower, descending again to pale creamy
aprieot-loveliest of all. Verify. in these
latter days the color maker goes to the
kitchen garden rather than to the con-
servatory for guidance and inspiration. =

WASHINGTON LETTER.
TFrom our Regular Correspondent. !

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 25, 1883.
The unveiling of the Henry statue last
week was one of the most entirely sue
cessful affairs of the kind that has ever
occurred in. Washington The details
were carried out with perfect exactness,
and the brevity and interest of the exer-
cises, the distinguished audience present
and the lovely weather combined to make
the occasion perfect. Professor Henry,
although well known to SCIENTISTS out
side OF Washington, is not so generally
known to the laity, but his peculiar work
was in the creation almost of the Smith.
sonian Institution as it stands. Accord
ing to the curious will of the curious
Smithson the institution was to be e.for
the Increase and diffusion of knewledoe
This was generalization so broad that
nothing specific could be made of it. 1t
is by many doubted whether James Smith
son really expected his testamentary
wishes to be carried out, as while he was
known to be a very acute business man,
his legacy to found the Smithsonian was
subject to innumerable eventualities an6
his direction of the great fund as vague
as possible. 1t really rested with Profess
sor Henry to make the Smithsonian what
he pleased; he actually succeeded in max
ing it an institution for the increase an6
diffusion of knowledge Most visitor.
are satisfied with examining the museum
but that is mere adjunct of the real
institution. One of the curiosities there
is sareophagas with flaming iuscrip-
ton that it was an ancient tomb brought
from Beirut by Commodore Elliot on the
fFigate Constitution. The English o.
this is that Commodore Elliot cribbeC
the tombstone and brought it home.

\ Professor Lennon aud his wife re.
Gently returned from u botanizing triI
in the Wifrts of Arizona. The Professor
| bore letters of introduction to u curious
old hermit, the only occupant of RuckeI
Valley. calling himself DIR. Monroe.
That was their objective point. As they
approached his cabin, the noise of their
feet stirred his hens to cackling, then
the upper part of his door opened, and
the old hermit appeared-a little old
man with hooked nose like an eagle :,
"A dilapidated straw hat over his right
ear. long, fine hair, streaked with gray.
and piercing black eyes. His clothing
was half military and half frontefsman.
He read the letter and then opened the
lower part of the door and invited his
guests in.
The hermit entertained his guests with
stories of his life and instruments of
defense, which consisted of certain
tunnel, SO inweIiiouslv constructed that
it was worthy of description. At the
back of the cabin some sacks were care
lessly huf@, which, when drawn aside,
disclosed what appeared to be cellar,
but which really'was the opening of a
tunnel 20 feet long, with double ell
bow in the middle and cabin at each
end. The tunnel was just high enough
for himself and he was a short man,
only about five and half feet high.
The bottom and roof were rough with
cobble-stones The middle was enlarged
to allow for strong defense. 1t was very
dark. and. unless one was acquainted
with it, it was of no Use to try TO follow
the hermit. For defense, in case he was
oVerpowared. he had an arrangement OF
fuse, carefully covered over with rock
and eobbles which. when fired, would
blow up everything.
1'his DIR. Monroe was a very intel
ligent man. and had evidently moved in
high circles He had some twenty-three
occupations III life, from playing the
clarionct i'm a circus 10 teaching school
in Virginia and practicing medicine.
Hanging over the Fireplace were not less
than twelve hats in different stages OF
dilapidation. and he was never seen
without one of these on He never put
il square on his head, but always on one
side lie kept eats and chickens, and
when asked WHY he did not have dog
lie said That several years ago he had q
partner ON mining scheme and they
had dog which was considered very
faithful. One day the partner returned
To the cabin 10 get dinner. and when DR..
Monroe reached it an hour later he found
l.is friend dead. The dog had not given
tho alarm of the approach of Indians,
but had skulked of and hid. AfteI
that he never had any faith in dogs

i sioner Burt1ette. once wei Known and
Iprominent in Washington circles, but FOR
some years past sfout OF sight and out of
lmlnd was about the city last week. He
is dark eyed, stout, dark complexioned
man, somewhat past middle age, with an
! air of melancholy reserve. He rarely
| speaks, and has almostno intimate friends
The circumstance which once made his
name familiar over the land has perhaps
been forgotten by most people Alter
his appointment as land commissioner by
PRESIDENT Grant he went along quietly
| for scme time, made a good officer, and
appeared contented HIS methods of
| doing business were direct, his decisions
clear, and his dark eyes never expressed
unrest. But one day he disappeared
from his Office without leaving behind
single word or trace. There was nothing
the most imaginative detective could call
a clue He had gone away without re-
signing. Various rumors fioated about
for days. BY some it was said he had
taken passage on board an outgoing
European steamer, and had jumped over
board the first night. Although no one
knew anything, it was generally conclud-
ed Burdette had committed suicide. The
fact of his going off and leaving good
Office argued in favor of the suicide theory.
Not word was heard of the missing
man for two years. Then, without a
word of warning, he walked into his own
house in the little Missouri village where
he had lived before going to Washington.
He at first could make no explanation.
He was worn out with fatigue. After a
night of rest he was able to tell Ifs story.
1t was a remarkable one. He had lost
in his office at Washington
the day of his disappearance, and when he
his right mind again so as to
recognize his old self he was in Australia,
and nearly two years had passed. OF
that period he could not remember one
word prior to the time when he came to
himself in Australia. / wonder what

The center of attraction of the dead |
letter Office is the recently established |
museum where the eyes of visitors can
feast on almost anything from a needle |

an idea of the class of articles passing
through the mails. Another oh ject in
view was to avoid the annoyance of Wis

gagged, when the time of the clerks is
taken up explaining the character of |

The scientific world Is excited over

to warp and shrink i'm dry weather;
but he claims that he will soon he able

Professor cannot pull his boots off at

1t as II corkscrew, nor fry "a raeher OF

There might be some point in manu-.

not seem to accomplish anything, and
even if they did they could not be Sent

into the realms of natural science.
First thing we know scientific men will
be working up schemes to manufacture
all kinds of natural phenomena, and the
day may not be far distant when the
poorest in the land may be able to own
cyclone, or a transit of Venus made
to order, and earthquakes. eclipses, and
waterspouts of assorted sizes will be
manufactured, warranted TO be equal to
the genuine. and to keep good in any
climate, and no one will be too poor to
set up a private collection of rainbows
in his own back yard. But we do not
think that this will add to the wealth of
the country. If these scientific men
would go to work inventing ways and
means to make buttermilk without the
aid of cow, or should discover means
to make imitation gumboils, or other
valuable articles of commerce. they
would confer a benefit on the public.
and generations yet unborn might call
them blessed; but an Aurora Borealis

country yearn for Ieras !9fJtin0s.

The Rev. Robert Collyer, says the New

neighboring city that he is preparing to
cross the ocean this summer, and take a
long vacation of rest among the scenes of
his early life-s'lie among the heather,
you know, and hear the lark, and drink
in at old wells, and eat oat-bread and
milk, and hunt up old cronies, and tumble
round in a river I know of, and 90 to an
