Spring Bonnets.

Ribbons and posies are the trimmings
of the first bonnets imported for early
spring, says Harpers Baxa1. High slen-
der bows CT many loops of feather edged
ribbons are set on top of the bonnet,
and in their midst Is posy of two or
three kinds of flowers with long stems,
or else with some branching foliage like
that Of roses or maiden-hair ferns. The
ribbon loops are short near the front OF
the bonnet, and two sets of them are
flattened against each other, while those
further back are long, and extend beyond
the crown. Two or three shades OF rib
bon are in some bows, and the preference
seems to be for gros grain ribbon with
feather edges Stalks of mignonette
with roses, long-stcmmed bultercupss,
hyacinths, tulips, dalfodils, marsh nal
lows, and poppies are favorite flowers for
forming boquets, and giving contrasts OF
color to bonnets that are otherwiseall OF
one hue. The only other trimming need
ed on such bonnets is the ribbon that
crosses the end of the crown, or else ex-
tends in two rows its whole length,
then passes to the Cars of the bonnet
and forms strings. VelYet ribbon is used
sometimes for strings, even when gros
grain is employed for the bow on the
top

Tommy Cruise About to Marry.
THE SENSIBLE SCHEME OF HAPPINESS OF
MILLIONAIRE MONTANA MINER.


MILLIONAIRE MONTANA MINER.
The approaching marriage of Tommy
Cruise, the ancient millionaire miner, is
attracting great deal of attention in
Helena, Montana. Tommy is supposed
to be worth nearly So, 900, 900, and his
life has had more than the usual amount
of romance in it. He came into the
mountains in 1860 and located the
famous Drum LummOn mine, which he
worked all by himself for more than
twenty years. He was satisfied if he
got enough out of the ground to live on,
and all that he was waiting for was a
customer. This came at length in the
form of an English capitalist who made
Tommy an offer, which was declined.
Then the old miner was asked to set his
price, and he fixed it at $500, 000 When
the capitalists agreed to give the sum
Cruise raised to $3.50, 900, and so the
dicker continued until fommy was
offered and accepted 81, 600, 900, for his
lode With this money he moved to
Helena, and since then he has been
living here quietly and preparing to en-
JOY himself.
The Young lady who is TO be his wife
is Miss Garter, "A years of age, sister
of a local attorney. She has been hard
working dressmaker here for some time,
and is highly respected by all. After
the wedding Mr.. and Mrs. Cruise will
take an extensive trip in the East, and
Tommy says he may go to Europe. 1t
is reported that he has settled $500, 600
on his bride, and that she is making ex-
tensive preparations to shine in the
society to which her great wealth is ex-
pected to give her an entrance.

THE pREVTTY OF LIFE.

THE BREVTTY OF LIFE.
By FRANCIS ouARLEs.
Behold
How short a span
Was long enough, of old,
To measure out the life OF man
In those well-tempered days his time was then
Surveyed, cast up, and found but three score
years and ten.
A'asi
And what ia that?
They come, and slide, and pass,
Before my pen can tell the what.
The posts of time are swift, which having run
Their seven short stages DER, their short-lived
task is done.
How soon
Our newborn light
Attains to fullaged noon
And this, how soon to gray-haired night,
re spring, we bud, we blossom and We blast
Ere We can count our days, our days that flee
so fast.
They end
When scarce begunl
And ere we apprehend
That we begin to live, our life is done.
Man, count thy days; and if they fly too fast
For thy dull thoughts to count, count every
day the last.

to its fullest height, she looks superb

Dynecourt, losing his self-possession
as he gaZes upon her, suddenly filings
himself at her feet and catches her
dress in his hands to detain her.

Dueling at so Much a Head.

eve had" said 'One of the crowd, zone
of the funniest duels ever saw at col
lege. It was put-up job, of course. The
pistols were not loaded with ball, but the
duelists did not know that. They stood
up like men, apparently, but one of them
got so nervous he fired before the word
was given. That placed him at the mercy
of his opponent who was poor creature,
but rather shrewd. As soon as the pistol
went off the individual who fired it got
utterly scared. The other stood calm and
determined, and proceeded to take leisure
ly aim.
''Don't shoot!'' yelled the victim; "don't
shoot!'
IT believe it is my turn, isn't it?"
asked the other, and he turned to his see
onds.
''Of course it is, go ahead"
And he again leisurely covered his
man.
"Hold on! Hold! I'll give you $50 if
you went shoot
"Tain't enough
''For Heavens sake! I'll give you

'The man with the pistol sneered, and
covered him once more.

And he paid his e100.

It cost her an effort TO utter these
words, but the effect produced by them
is worth the effort.
Florence, growing deathly pale, re-
leases her hair from her Cousins grasp,
and rises quickly TO her feet.

wrong = quite wrong you hear?

from very different feelings. He is dis

opinion. Do not wait for him to ask
you again to go through your play with
him alone, but tell him Yourself to-
morrow that you vii meet him for
that purpose in the north gallery some
time during the day"
very we'll" says Florence; but her
face still betrays dislike and disinclina-
ton to the course recommended.
"And, Dora, [ don't think [ want my
hair brushed any more, thanks; my
head is aching so dreadfully."
This is hint that she will be glad of
Mrs. Talbot's speedy departure; and,
that lady taking that hint, Florence is
soon left to her own thoughts.
The next morning, directly after
breakfast, she finds an opportunity to
tell Mr.. D necourt that she will give
him half an hour in the north gallery
to try over his part with her, as she
considers it will be better, and more
conducive to the smoothness of the
piece, to learn any little mannerism
that may belong to either Of them.
To this speech Dynecourt makes a
suitable reply, and names a particular
hour for them to meet. Miss Delmaine,
having given grave assent to this ar
rangemsent,. moves away, as though
glad to be rid of her companion.
A few minutes afterward Dynecourt,
meeting Mrs. Talbot in the hall, gives
her an expressive glance, and tells her
in low voice that he considers himself
deeply in her debt.

THE ANARCHISTS.
They are given New Lease of Life.


BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Nov. 26.-Judge
Scott yesterday granted a supersedeas in
the case of the Chicago anarchists, stay
ing the execution which was to have taken
place on Friday of next week, in order
that the record in the case can be review
ed by the supreme court.
After enjoying a good nights sleep,
and feeling fresh and vigorous, and with
deep feeling of the responsibility that
rested upon nina the Judge resumed
work upon the case promptly at
nine o'clock, and further pursued
hours, when, at IL O'Clock, he gave an Or
archists new lease of lifts. He closeted
himself in his private chamber and pur-
sued his work quietly and alone, and when
the end was reached he dispatched mes.
sengers for the attorneys-Swett Black,
and Salomon-who were waiting anxious
ly and restlessly at the hotel. The at
torneys fastened to the judges room,
where, without any formality of words or
ceremony they proceeded to read the fol-
lowing, which Judge Scott had written
upon the face of the record:
"Upon an inspection of the written rec
ord presented the undersigned, Judge
of the supreme court of the state of I'LL
nois, is of the opinion that there is
probable error in said record. 1t is there
fore ordered that a writ of error issue in
said cause as to each of the defendants,
namely: Spies, Fielden, Schwab, Lingg,
Parsons, Engsl, Fischer, and Neebe, and
that the same be made under the statue,
staying all proceedings until further or
der of the court, such writ to be issued
by the clerk of the supreme court in the
northern grand division Immediately on
onthe filing of the record.
"JoHN NJ SCOTT"
The attorneys were filled with gladness
and delight, and when the Judge finished
reading his order they manifested pro-
nounced expressions and actions of JOY
and gratefulness. After thanking the
judge for his prompt attention to the
case the attorneys FASTENED to the tele-
graph Office and dispatched messages to
relatives and friends. Captain Black
wired his law partner, Mr.. Zeisier, to go
at once to the Jail and tell the prisoners
the good news that the supersedeas had
been granted.
The supreme court will meet in the
northern grand division in Ottawa on
the first Tuesday ia March, consequently
the case is necessarily deferred till that

The Modern Young Woman.
Brooklyn Citizen.

The newspaper wit aims his shafts of
humor at no object with such keen pleas
ure and delight as when he directs them
at the modern young woman, her caprices
and tendencies. And it must be acknowl-
edged that he does so not without cause
in many instances. While there are thous-
ands of young women who represent what
is best in young womanhood, whose pur-
poses in life extended beyond the frivol-
tiles of dress and outward adornments,
there is, on the other hand, large per-
centage that look upon life "as joke
that's just begun" to borrow an expires
sion from popular opera.
These young women live under the de-
fusion that social distinction, beauty of
person, and richness of apparel make the
woman. They are slaves to custom and
fashion, and revel in external attractions.
They accept the glitter for the gold, her
aldy and trapping of the world for the
priceless essence of Woman's worth,
which exists within the mind. Their
highest attainment is not the possession
Of true womanhood, but that their po-
sitions in society may be a conspicuous
one, and thereto they bend all their en-
ergies. Hours are spent over the latest
to the making and perfectiag of new ap-
parel. They forget that true woman
exists Independent of outward embellish-
ments, that dress is regarded by many as
only the ivy that encircles the oak, and
is never mistaken for the thing it adorns.
It is not the queen of fashion that
sways the sceptre of influence or authori-
ty over men. It is in the hand of the
frr nd ~
woman that authority has placed, and
where she dwells there may refinement,
culture intelligence, and moral power to
be found. The influence of such wo-
man upon society is that of the most salu-
tary kind.
But what is that of the reigning society
belle? Men may admire her for the mo-
ment, when, in brilliantly fitted parlors,
her beauties and charms dazzle the
eye: but what are the after-con-
illusions? "Silly creature wrapped up
in herself and the world" was the com
ment of an apparent admirer upon a
young belle after an eventful social oc-
casion in New York only few weeks
since. Fashion and folly never gained
an ounce of respect worth the possession
and never will. Young women, alas!
too often mistake adultation for respect,
only to find at the end that it was but
hollow mockery, ana, pyrotechnic dis
play prepared for the occasion.
A true young woman's ambitions
stretch beyond the ballroom and the
milliners establishment. She strives to
make her life grand in womanly virtue,
and by her example inspires others
to secure the same priceless crown of
womanhood. This is the woman that
commands the respect and admiration
of the world, not temporarily, put per-
manently. In her, friends recognize
rich store of practical good sense and
beautiful harmony about her character
that at once inspire sincere respect;
which soon warns into love.
