The color was a very beautiful pure white, and the straw was quite fancy, but very fine. In the front was a great faring bow of fine lavender vel vet, caught down in the center by diar naond-studded buckle. There was also long pin stuck through the loops; at the back was full spray of purple pan. sies, shading from pale lavender to pur- pie that was almost black. The stream.

 She then brought out another. II could not equal the first, but still was very beautiful. The shape was o1 striped old green and white straw. II happened that the white stripe came out on the edge, and this was almost concealed under a very full velvet edge of the old green. A fullness of fine guipure lace started at the front and was brought around high at the left side.

 The trimming on big hats is coming around more to the front this season Small hats are great favorites.

EVERY attempt made by the house to give the government more power over the national banks, thus adding to their safety as Repositories of the peoples money, has up to this time been thwarted by the senate. The bill which was passed by the house a short time ago, prohibiting the borrowing of money by officers of national banks, ex- 'cept by authority of a majority of the banks directors, which every person familiar with the inside histories of the big national bank failures will ac- knowledge is a good idea, was promptly saddled with an amendment in the senate, which it was known the house would not accept, authorizing the banks to increase their circulation to the full amount of bonds they have deposited in the United Statee treasury. Winch body legislates for the people, and which for the corporations2 The house and senate fairly represent the parties which respectively control them.
 IT is stated that Mir Edison is conf. dent of his ability to establish telephone connection between our earth and Mer. cury and Mars; and that he can find out whether the inhabitants of those planets are civilized or savage. Logicians might take exception in the matter, from the fact that the great electric inventor has not yet demonstrated that there are any inhabitants of those planets-civilized or otherwise. But, perhaps, he accepts the theory of the French philosopher-embodied by Moore in his charming melody-that the planet Mercury is inhabited by beings, who, from their proximity to the sun, are endowed with phenomenal loveliness. Such beings would be just the proper subjects for Professor Edison's experiments; but it is question. able whether he could produce results therefrOma as satisfactory as he has evolved from the telegraph and tele. phone.

 Pins are very prominent in all hat trim ming, and there is an endless variety of them. Small gold ones hold together almost all the high loops, and big ones pierce the heart of each bow. Many of these pins are set in tiny brilliants, and some have large rhinestones gleam- ing out of large knobs or oval-shaped beads. One would scarcely think that women would wear these pseudo dia- monds in such profusion, but their ef- feet is SO good it makes the temptation to use them almost irresistible.
