ONL Il SMILE.

Only q suite that was given me
On the crowded street one day!
But It pierced the gloom of my saddened heart
Like a sudden sunbeam ray.
Fhe shadow of doubt hung over me,
And the bhrden of pain bore,
And the voice of Hope could not hear,
Though ] listened DER and Der.
But there came rift in the crowd about,
And face that knew passed by,
Andt smile caught was brighter to me
Than the blue of a summer sky
For it gave me back the sunshine,
And scattered each somber thought,
And my heart rejoiced in the kindllng warmth
Which that kindly smile had wrought.
Only smile from a friendly face
On the busy street that day
Forgotten as soon as given, perhaps,
AS the donor went her way.
But straight to my heart 1t went speeding
To gild the clouds that were there.
And found that of sunshine and life's blue
skies
also might take my share.

Birds, Feathers and Ornaments.

Plumaqe will supersede flowers next
season, and will be used in every way
milliners can devise There will be en-
tire bonnets, caps and turbans covered
with feathers stripped from the bird and
put on singly in farciful and most un-
natural fashions; there are bands of
feathers for trimmings. feather crowns
and feather. brims for parts of bonnets,
and there are small ornaments made up
entirely of feathers, such as a miniature
Gallic cock scarcely two inches long, a
white macaw or cockatoo three inches
in length, but an exact copy of the real
bird, or a dwarf pea-fowl, with tail
spread and showing the eye part of its
plumage; each of these is provided with
pin, and is to he stuck in the scarf or
rosette for decoration. But above all
else the natural bird is preferred, and
swallows are said to take precedence of
all otherbirds; but one swallow does
not make a trimming for hat, for just
back of it is placed cluster of many
wings, enough; indeed. for flock OF
swallows.
These groups of wings are very effect
i've trimmings placed on the left side OF
a Henri Trois hat, beginning just at the
front and being thickly massed all the
way along the left side to the back,
with their pointed ends standing up
against or above the crown. Another
fashion is that of making fancy plu-
mage by taking the head and neck of a
bird and adding to it some tail feathers,
or cluster of wings, or an aigrette OF
slender plumes Again a single head
is split in two from the point of the beak
backward, and made to serve for two
sets of plumage.. Next in favor after
swallows are grouse, pheasants, par
tridges and pigeons, as all these have
the gray and brown shadings so largely
represented in the new goods; ruffled
grouse, sea-swallows, wild-ducks,
guinea-fowls and other familiar birds
are placed beside the rarest South Amer,
lean humming- birds, impians and the
brilliant hird-of-paradise. The spirited
aigrettes mado of heron feathers are
stuck in wing clusters. or in tufts o.
breast feathers; sometimes six wings
each of different color, are punched
together, with long aigrette in thC
centre. While these fan0iful feathers
prevail, ostrich feathers are by nC
means abandoned, but even these beau
|. .iful plumes are not used in their natu
raj grace, but are cut Oft, eurled, and il
tips are combined with clusters of wing;
| or tail feathers Of other birds. Orna
ments of very fine cut steel are showr
clasps and brooches. and there arr

that the hale and hearty looking gen

WASHINGTON, December 9.-Repre-
sentative Anderson, of Kansas, revised

him at the last session, and will soon in

%FORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS.
The First Session Opens in
View OF Tremendous
CroWd-Carlis1e duly
Elected Speaker.
A Synopsis of the Presidents Mes
sage--List Of Bills Introduced
Amendments to the
Land Laws.

WASHINGTON, Dec. AT II noon
to-day the forty-eighth congress assem-
bled. The crush to witness the cere-
monies of the opening day was immense.
There was a greater crowd than has
been in attendance OIL such an occasion
for several years. This is probably due
to the fact that Washington is fuller of
winter visitors than usual. It was the
Inauguration of a new speaker that drew
many OF the southern residents out. The
marble pile devoted to congress looks
like a very large place ordinarily, but
to-day it was fairly choked from base
ment to gallery. The doorkeepers below
and above earned a months salary. The
corridors that the police were several
times called upon to clear a passage for
members. More people were turned
away than were able to witness the
scene from the gallery. A good many
who felt secure of places, by reason of
holding tickets emitting them to admis-
sion to theprlvate and reserved galleries,
found too late that they were barred out.
Within the house the scene was inspir-
ing. The floor was thronged with
members, who were engaged in hand
shaking and apparently pleasant banter
and conve esation. A little knot Of ear
nest ones gathered here and there, and
seemed to be connecting plans for the
coming house campaign. There were
several elaborate baskets of flowers on
the speakers desk, at which an empty
chair awaited him. After the roll was
called, the nominations for speaker were
made. Carlisle received 191 votes, being
four less than the full democratic
strength, and was announced speaker Of
the house. Mr.. Keifer received 112
votes, five less than the full republican
strength Mr.. Robinson received two.
and Mr.. Lyman and Mr.. James each
received n After Carlisle's speech,
which was listened to with rapt atten-
ton, the swearing in began, after which
the house adjourned.
