POINTED BRlMs.
A style OF Bonnet which Is Popular al

A Style of Bonnet Which Is Popular at
Fashion Centers.
The pointed brim bonnet has finally
come into great popularity, and is no
Ionged confined to young and pretty
faces, though even yet it Isl shape that
should be chosen with discreet on. The
real secret of the success of this shape,
known years ago as the fish-wife poke,
is that it is no longer large poke, but
a small bonnet that adds nothing to
the size of the wearer's head. The
straw bonnets of this shape are now
usually high in the crown, and the end
of the crown is carried up somewhat
like the front; a reVers of straw COW
cred with velvet passes around the
sides and back, or else there is q frill
of lace set outside the edge. Inside
the brim are satin puffs or else rows of
pleat;ngs made double of the material,
and placed so near together that only
the ends show in front A single ro-
settle or fan-shaped bow is the trim
ming for plain straw pointed bon
nets. This may be made of etamine,
gauze, velvet, or MORE ribbon, or else
there may be two round or square bows,
one of which is placed just each side
of the pointed brim, and this adds
nothing to the height of the Wearer.
An economical French caprice is that
of using four or five different fabrics in
the front bow or bows; for instance,
there may be as foundation scrap
of lace like that on the wearer's dress,
placed in a gathered circle fiat on the
bonnet, or else with two curved ends
passing down each side. On this may
be two or three wide loops of dark
velvet tied together with little square
bow of narrow watered ribbon, in
which may be thrust a gilt pin or a
small feather ornament. Another
cluster for the top of bonnet may
have some loops or else some ends of a
moyenage scarf, or pieces of etamine,
with some changeable ribbon and gilt
braid among them. Others in more
English taste have the entire rosette of
loops of one kind of canvas ribbon, or
else MORE or velvet ribbon is used.
The very dressy bonnets of this shape
are, however, trimmed with flowers ar
ranged in round cluster just on top,
and if the wearer is quite young, a
wreath of rose-buds or forget-me-nots
or other tiny flowers is placed inside
the entire brim. These bonnets are
more youthful when strings are
omitted, but when preferred they are
fastened at the end of the crown, or
else crossed on the crown, instead OF
being attached on the sides. HG1per's

A Great Benefactor of Women.

Lydia E. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass, is
often spoken of as the great benefactor of
women and frequently receives letters like
the one we quote from, written by a lady
in San Francisco, she says: 81 am taking
your Vegetable Compound and find great
benefit from it. 1t has done me more good
than all the Doctors" Mrs. T., of Vim
cennes. Ind, writes: Having taken Ii
bottles of your Vegetable Compound and

Rapid Communication.

A novel system of rapid communica-
ton between Paris and London has
been proposed to the French Govern
ment by Gallo engineer, which would
enable letters to pass between the two
capitals in an hours time. Hisscheme
is an extension of the pneumatic tubes
already used in Paris, but in this case
the tubes would extend to CALAIS,
would then be submerged along the
Channel bed to Dover, like an ordinary
ocean cable, and finally be carried to
London. The letters would be con-
tanned in huge shell, studded with
tiny steel points, and this postal bull
LETT would be shot off by compressed
air with sufficient force to reach It's
destination in sixty minutes. owing
to the large amount of correspondence
exchanged between France and En- !,
gland, the inventor proposes to sendo
a postal bullet every three minutes
during the working day OF twelve
hours. The system would only cost
some Fl, 1850, 900 to establish.

A New Motive Power.

A new motive power, which might
be found useful in several localities
where fine running dry sand can be OBJ
tanned, has been recently put to use in
New Mexico at one of the mines. The
wind which blows over the plains and
through the valleys freely, but ftfully,
is not to be depended upon for steady
work. A windmill is therefore en-
ployed to raise sand into an appropri-
ate reservoir, from which it flows
through a spout precisely as water
would do on to an overshot wheel, fur
nishing steady power 50 long as the
stock lasts. AS the windmill runs
night and day as long as the wind
blows, there is usually sand enough to
work during the daytime. No doubt
there are other places and ways in
which this method of securing power
could be employed to advantage. =

The Exquisite Pleasure Afforded BY
Family Ra-unilns,

In this broad land teeming with a
wealth of natural resources and advan-
tages, there is a lamentable tendency
for families to become widely separated
as its members arrive at maturity. 1t
frequently occurs that a mother must
travel thousand miles or more in or
der to visit her several children and
their families. The exquisite pleasure
afforded by a family reunion is, alas
too seldom enjoyed. Not always is it
convenient for sons and daughters to
leave their homes and little ones to
gather around the old hearthstone.

ouently be INDUCED in. On many oc-

RIDDLEBERGER AS DYNAMITER.-
gina has the distinction of furnishing the
only defender of the dynamiters on the
floor of the United States Senate; and he a
Mahoneite. One voice alone was raised in
paliation of the fendish act Of Saturday
last; and no one who fully understands
the levelling and incendiary and iconoclas-
tic tendencies and teachings Of the Malone
gang will be surprised to know that il
came from one of their number. Nc
wonder that creatures who inf1ame and ex.
cite the negroes to strife and bloodshed
would applaud such diabolism as found
vent in London Tower and Parliament
House four days ago. The Malone people
that is, the leaders-seek to pull down,
to destroy, I'd to raise themselves on the
ruins of all that is best and noblest in the
traditions, in the life, in the laws and the
customs of Virginia. No wonder. we say,
that one of the gang squeaks out for the
bloody dynamiters.
1t is significant that no other human be-
ing in all the Senate, of any party, agreed
with Riddleberger-that his voice alone
was lifted for the dynamiters, and that his
vote alone was recorded against an ex-
preston of detestation of their act. He
focked to himself, as he did on the Nc
Culloch confrmation-all to himself; not
one so mean as to keep him company. But
Riddleberger is doing some good. He is
exposing to the country the true inward
ness Of Mahoneism-he is exhibiting the
rottenness and baseness of the thing.
What do the party at home think of
their leader? True, there are thousands of
them who will not go with him in this
atrocity, who will repudiate his senti-
ments; but he is their leader and the expo
nent of their party still.-Lynchbv9
