LEONE LOCAL CHAT.

before we want 10 get up.
Fashion treads on piety's heels, and
the question of where withal shall we
be clothed, vexes humanity to-day as
much as tho they were in the same fix
as Adam and Eve, with no other re-
source than leaves from which to
evolve in Easter toilette after all
versatility is natures ballast; and the
hands that hasten to throw off sack
cloth and ashes, are the hands that
most willingly take them up again;
and so it is oftenest those with
heart for any fate" who keep the old
world balanced.
Talking of Easter and fashions, 1
always knew that due attention was
given them here, but was hardly pre-
pared to learn that there is such ex-
tensive traffic in millinery goods in this
town as the firms state at Kindle's
they have been receiving new in
voice of hats every day in the week
for the last two weeks, and trimmings
in proportion and they are handsome
as they can be, of infinite variety, style
and shape. The hat of to-day is very
like we'll constructed tower of Babel
with its confusion | hope the office
boys won't attempt to improve my
grammar of trimmings in lace.crepes,
flowers, the birds of the air, and a
vegetable garden or two; by next
autumn the beasts of the field will
figure as head gear establishment;
all the same the hat of to-day is
stunning for style, chic" character;
there are the heavy strict brims and
positive outlines that will give decis-
ion 70 soft toned faces; and the waver-
ing shapes, with just a hint of design,
that will make the sharpest features
shadowy and tender; guess 1 better
not continue this style of revelation,
or 1 might give away some state Sc
crets for which my sex will hold me
in fond remembrance. If you want
to look becomingly nice, you can have
all the facilities in head attire, in
abundance, at Kindle's.
The Louise Arnot Company have
captured the town and are playing to
large and appreciative audiences
taken all in all they are one of the
best companies that have ever stopped
with us; they give us the standard
plays of the day, [many of them rem
dered here for the first time and rem
der them well always, brilliantly in
many passages; Louise Arnot has not
only great versatility, but depth of
conception and feeling thro' which
her indemnity is lost in that of the
character she represents; and this is
the secret success. She is fortunate in
having company to sustain her who
are competent and thoroughly good
actor and actress. This afternoon
matinee 1.-THE Honeymoon" will be
as attractive as its name implies, and
quite as amusing. Tonight you will
all want to see "M'Liss," as it is one
Of your favorites, and in which think
you will find that Miss Arnot will far
excel Kitty Rhodes.
The unexpected always happens
there is no telling what is in anybody
until they begin to develop. Now it
is Mr.. d. M. Kilmer who springs out
on the public as an inventor; his latest
is novel arrangement which he calls
a goods exhibitor; and the outer sur
face of which answers as a sign for
lettering. 1t is an arrangement on
which goods of the hanging kind may
be suspended via hooks, and is lower
cred to view in the shape of an arch
way over the door; there is a "pul-
ley" attachment by means of which it
may be hoisted up under the protec-
ton of the door frame in case of rain,
without disarranging the goods.
wouldn't advise anybody in this town
to live by their wits the county has
enough to support but when viewed
in the light of an invention from
solid business man with no theory of
perpetual motion about him, l would
suggest that if there was any bonanza
lurking around an invention like this
I would have the idea patented be-
fore it is stolen. / don't charge any,
thing for this advise; if you happen
to notice the subject of these few re-
marks-the invention Mr.. Kill
mer,-you will appreciated what I've
been trying to tell you about it.

Mr.. ID. S. Eichelberger has severed
his connection with the West Virginia
Democrat, with a view to something
better at the National Capital, in a
position which has been rendered him
for some time past; Mr.. Eichelberg-
er's friends regret to lose him from
among them but where the advanta-
ges are all on the side of change, we
cannot but tender congratulations and
earnest wishes for success, not void of
happiness; with the added prospect
of brilliant future.
The ladies of the Catholic congrega-
ton of this city are making extensive
