STYLISH HEAD-GEAR FOR MEN.
The Derby Still Leading, While the Soft Hats
Are Not Worn So Much.


New York Mail and Express
'"The styles in gentlemen's hats said halter
in answer to a reporter, differ very little from
those of last winter. The crown of the Derby is
higher and the curl and the brim are both fatter
In silk hats the bell is lighter and the brim is
more open smaller and more coarsely rolled
The Fedora and Alpine, the soft hats, are not
worn so much. Black is the prevailing color and
the silk hat is the only dressy hat There is no
difference between the young mans hat and the
old mans hat, except that the latter has wider
brim. One can hardly say that is true, either,
for the old men getting quite juvenile in their
tastes. Before long they will be the only ones
wearing the narrow brim high hat"
''The provincial towns get the New York styles
about year behind timel"
mo; they get the styles before we do in New
York. We decide on sample hats early in the
winter send out our travellers and fill the orders
Of the outof-town customers before we make up
hats for ourselves"

mind a dozen instances which convince him of
the rottenness of stage surroundings / don't
think any one who has followed my writings for
deal, will accuse me of being particularly
prudish. And therefore 1 ought to be heard
when 1 say that if had a daughter and she
went upon the stage | should feel just as badly

itself is rotten so much as it is that the calling
gives opportunity for rotten things to approach
it. Boys and girls have been fooling around

One of the young beaus of Athens while visit
ing his inamorita, was presented by her little
sister with a bunch of violets which she had
picked for him in the garden AS reward for
her kindness the young man kissed the little
donor and pronounced her a sweet little thing,
etc. A little colored playmate of the child, who
had witnessed the whole proceeding went to the
garden at once and gathered bunch of the same
kind of flowers which she brought and presented
to the young man. expecting to be rewarded in
the same manner, but the blushing young fellow
was forced to decline amid the hearty peals of
laughter of the young lady, who enjoyed the joke

To Repair DAMAGES,

Dear lady, there is probably no use telling you
that fashionable life in great city is rough
one on your beauty. Late hours, loss of sleep
and mental excitement will leave you by and by
shorn of those beautiful tresses which drew lovers
around you in other years. Artificial substitutes
can never pass for those rich and glossy locks.
Parker's Hair Balsam will stop your hair
from falling out, restore its natural color and
softness and prove cleansing and beneficial to
the SCALP.

ment. The elegant sleeping coaches which have
been put on the run between Peoria and Column

now in excellent condition, making 1t pleasant
road to ride over. While there has been 4t@t-
tided Improvement in the passenger service on
this road, contemplated changes in the freight
service undoubtedly promise greater results
The Nickel plate fast-freght line goes onto the
l., B. & W. system May l, which, through their
connections, gives the l., b. & w, route into
st. Louis over the Chicago Il Alton, into Te1re

In addition to this line the South Shore, an Erie
line, the Traders Dispatch and the Midland line
will operate over the road. The coal traffic of
the road as we'll is developing remarkably and
IN freight equipments the road is amply pro
vided, especially in locomotive power; and when
matters are once working smoothly the l., B. Il

Gated here and the management have become

this years crop begins to move, everything on
the road will be in fine working order, and it Is
safe to predict handsome earnings on all dlvls-
ions of the system in the last six months of 1884.

Comfort for Decline Stockholders.

President Devereux of the Cleveland, Column
bus, Cincinnati & indianapolis road, when speak
ing of the bear movement upon their property,
said that the statement that the road not earn
ing its fixed charges was quite absurd. The net
earnings of the road for the year to Dec. 81 last
were 1864, 733. The company has no construc-
ton account and no floating debt to amount to
anything. Its earnings continue to i'm
prove. The largest and most conservative
stockholders were averse to the payment of a
scrip cash dividend except at the regular
time. There is no doubt whatever that per
cent cash dividend will be paid in August. The
road is really saving more than per cent. on
the stock Neither is there any doubt that Gin
cinnati Indianapolis will become from Au-
gust on a regular per cent. stock

A THREATENED RAID.-A dispatch from
San Antonio, Texas, says: Trouble is ap-
pretended at Eagle Pass. The authorities
have been in secret communication with
Governor Ireland and enough is known tc
warrant the assertion that the Sheriff OF
Maverick county anticipates raid from
the Mexican side of the Rio Grande and
is anxious for reinforcements. Captain
Shelly of the Texas Rangers, has been tele-
graphed to for all the troops at his disposal.
United States Marshal Gosling has also
been telegraphed to for armed assistance.
The raid will doubtless be for the capture
of two suspected criminals held at Eagle
Pass, whom the American extradition agent
refused to surrender, in view Of the recent
ruling of Secretary Frelinghuysen in tho case OF
Trimble, the alleged train robber. The prisoners
being held are accused by the Mexican authorities
of numbering Manuel Rodygeuz, at Saragosa, Mex
on the 7th inst The deceased was shot early in
tue morning, five buckshot taking effect in the
head and the upper part of the body. Rodyguez
was a prominent merchant and an intluentlsl
citizen.

a PlTIABLE SCENE.-ln the State Senate
last Friday Mr. koiner made a vulgar as
suult on Mr.. Berry, of Amherst, who is the
most courteous member Of the body. Mr..
koiuer began by insinuating that Mr..
Dcrry's bill to take away the appointing
power of county superintendent from the
governor aud give it TO local county board,
was "like a woman's letter which never con-
tanned the gist of the matter, but always
had Il postscript in which was the real bust
ness" He then commented on Mr.. Berry s
personal appearance, saying she was hand.
some mana man remarkable for his beauty,
and perhaps was near woman, in fact he
might be hermaphroditel"
The senate was shocked at the scandalous
trausgression Of its rules and the proprieties
that obtain among gentlemen.
Mr. Berry with indignant words charac-
terzed the language as without a precedent
in parliamentary usage, deserving of censure
and personally offensive.
MIR Wickham, who was in the chair, said
be did not catch Mr.. Koiner's words or he
would have brought him up.
Mr.. koiner ended the remarkable day by
voting with the republicans, being the only
democrat on that side on that roll call.

The WEATHER yesterday, like the prcvl-
Gus Sunday, was spring like, though walk
ing OH the suburbs especially. was not go"d.
In the morning fair congregations assembled
in the different churches, but at night there
was a pcrcrpible diminuliou. For the
secoud time in the past two or three weeks
an alarm of fire has been started just prevl-
Gus to the singing Of the last hymn. There
was quite stampede from tn" First Preshy-
terrain Church, where temperance meeting
was being held, when the bells truck, but
while some lip-toed out of the other
churches without the benediction. the ma,
iority managed to undergo the ordeal until
regularly dismissed.
