Intending to Blow Up Its Building.
WABASH, IND, May 2S.-There is great
excitement at Xenia, near this place,
over the discovery of half a pound of
dynamite, with three-foot fuse attached,

that it vas the intention of the villains to
explode the dynamite at night, when no
one was in the office, and so destroy the
building without taking life.

friend, Captain Green, Il went as sec
ond mate of ship named the Ocean
King. She'd been and old Indaman in
her time, and had poop and top-gal-
liant fOrecastle, though alterations had
knocked some OF the dignity out of her.
Her channels had been changed into
plates with dead-eyes above the rail,
and the eye missed the spread of the
lower rigging that it naturally sought
in looking at q craft with square stern
and windows in it, and checkered sides
reaching out into curves that made a
complete tub of the old hooker. Yet.
spite Of changes, the old-fashioned
grace would break through. She looked
like lady who had seen better DAYS.
who has got to do work which servants
did for her in the times when she was
well OF, but who, let her set her hand
to do what she will, makes YOU see that
the breeding and the instincts are still
there, and that she's as little to be vul-
CARRIED by poverty and its coarse strug-
giles as she could be made truer lady
than she is by money. Ships, like hui
man beings, have their careers, and the
close of some of them is strange and

account of this fine, great ship, when
she was launched, quite enough of them

The New ROnnets.

There is a great fancy for neutral
tints-gray, brown, bronze, ecru and
castor beaver-which combine well
with any color, and which are chosen
for wear with wooden suits of almost
any shade, the velvet or braid on the
hat matching the costume in tint.
There are also great number of greens,
in olive, reseda, myrtle and bottle
greens, while the new, bright, ericsson,
or waterecress green is restricted to
trimmings. Some of the new felt bon
nets have the crown cut out in a point
or arch on the lower edge, to show the
knot of hair high on the head, while
the front is raised in a sharp peak over
the face, and quilting of lace, of
Grape, of velvet, or satin is set under
the brim all round, in a manner sug-
gestive of q baby's cap, and exceed
ingly becoming to fresh young faces.
Loops of velvet ribbon aud velvet
leaves or fancy feathers are the trim
mings for such bonnets, and are placed
directly in front instead of slightly to
one side as formerly. The trimming of
the moment is the feather montures
made by milliners in utter defiance OF
nature, but very effective none the less.

An owls head tones admirably with a
full cluster of shaded brown ostrich
tips, and a group of Brazilian hummiag

nestled. An aigrette of cocks plumes,
