Pretty COnceits that are Becoming

Correspondent Writes in Her Usu-

Week.

1t was inevitable that the sudden
fancy for the fashions of 1880 should
produce a reaction in the millinery
styles, and an attempt be made to
bring in bonnets of larger size, more
appropriate to the new toilets than
those .nieady prepared for the spring
season. Whether those new shapes
are destined to become really popular,
however, is question which the future
must decide. A few weeks ago the
introduction Of bonnets with ears and
curtains seemed merely a passing
vagary of fashion, br, the radical
transformation brought about in skirts
may keep them some time in vogue.
So far, however, the enlarged shapes
are in a decided minority. One Of
them covers the head down to the
ears and has an open brim and is worn
sloping backwards, so that the crown
incloses the coil of hair at the back.
Another is formed like a diminutive
night cap, and has lace curtain put
on at the back. | have seen the former

Not a great distance from this place,
near the town of Lincoln, on the In
diana side, rest the mortal remains OF
Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother Of the
martyred President. This grave is
situated on what is now an isolated
knoll in dense forest, and marked
only by an iron fence and 4 common
slab bearing the plain inscription
" Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother of
President Lincoln, died Oct. S, 1918,
aged s. years. Near this grave is
the site on which the cabin stood that
served as the home of young Abe dur
ing his boyhood days and where, in
his rural simplicity, he little dreamed
of the great dramatic future in which
he was destined to play such an I'm
portant part. Nothing remains al
present to mark the historic spot bu
the debris Of some crumbled brick anC
native cedar that once cast its charms
and shadows upon this forest home.

STATE BANKS OF ISSUE.

The New York Journal Of Conn
mF,rr, the highest authority on finan-
cial questions in the United States,
has in its issue Of March IS, 1898, the
following to say editorially OF the
State Banking Act passed by the last
North Carolina Legislature:
1T is well known that only by a
very strained Interpretation of the
Federal Constitution can the right to
prohibit the issue of notes from the
State bank be upheld and the 10 per
cent. tax justified. An act Of Con
Sress forbIdding State banks to issue
circulating notes wonld be negatOry,
the Federal government having no
power IN the premises. The tax in
question was not laid for revenue, but
designed solely to prohibit the issue
of these notes. May Congress solely
for the one purpose levy prohibitory
tax when the prohibition itself is not
within its power? The tax ought to
be repealed and that without any con-
dtions. But some people ale Sc
apprehensive that wildcat banking"
would follow the renewed liberty that
they hesitate to indorse the demand
for this repeal. We noticed in oul
former article the project to do away
with the tax on condition that the
notes shall be issued under a statue
precisely similar TO the Federal Bank.
ing act.
"The new proposition is to remove
the prohibition for all State bank
issue, the par redemption of which
shall be guaranteed by the State in
which the bank is located. When
this was sent to US last week by a
member Of Congress tor our opinion
we replied that we knew Of no State
likely to furnish such a guaranty. Al
the very moment, but without oul
knowledge, an act had been passed by
the State of North Carolina embody-
ing this peculiar feature. We have a
copy on our desk covering fort!
printed pages and too long for descrip'
ton here. But it proposes a banking
system which furnishes the most ample
security for the note holder. The
State is to have the right to subscribe
for one third of the capital stock o1
each institution, and to name one
third of the directors. The per cent.
bonds of the Stale to pay the subscrip-
ton are to be held as security. The
State is to guarantee every note and
to see its redemption. This act has
been passed by the General Assembly
and is now the law of the State. 1t
makes provision for a vote Of the peo-
pie to change the Constitution, by
which the statue shall become legally
effective, The system, if thus approved
is to be inaugurated within ninety
days after the repeal by Congress OF
the tax on State bank issues. 1t is
sufficient to say that no loss could
come to a note holder thus protected.
1t is an illustration of statement we
made some years ago that IT State
banks were permitted to issue the
flexible currency SO much needed lr
this country, the States would see to it,
by appropriate legislation, that nc
loss fell upon the holders of the desired
circulation

in rice straw and crinoline The
model in rice straw-black-is trim
med with wide satin ribbon, shaded
from crimson to moss-green, draped
about the crown and arranged in bows
front and back on each side of the
front bow is placed stiff bunch of
variegated crocuses, tied up with
cluster of leaves in the centre. The
principal decoration of the white
crinoline bonnet consists Of the two
halves of white Brussels lace veil,
each fluted like an open fan and form
ing spreading wings on each side of
the low crown. Very fine wire is sewn
to the edge of the lace to give it the
required stiffness. A small bow of
lace, with large amethyst cabochon
in the centre, is placed in front of the
crown, and at the back bow of pale
peach blossom satin, with strings of
the same. The best specimen of a
bonnet with a curtain is in nut-Col-
ored straw, the obnormal addition be-
ing made of lace of the same color,
worked with gold thread. 1t is mount
ed in a few gathers and has a little
knot of moss-green velvet on the top.
A bow shaped arrangement of the lace
is placed in front of the brim and juts
out on either side in flutes; two gold
headed pins are fixed in this bow.

Let light into your houses; turn out

if you have guessed the secret Of this
gown. The yoke comes out, so does
the lower part of each sleeve. And
thereby the dress is turned into very

suggest cream white as the color for

A FOEMAN'S TRIBUTE TO
LANES BRIGADE.
A Gallant Federal Officer Testi-
fies to the Valor Of Lanes Brig
ade Of North Carolina Troops at
the Battle Of Chancellorsville.
News and Observer.

News and Observer
1t is SO seldom that words of praise
or credit are given by Northern writer's
relative to the bearing and action Of
Southern troops during the war, that
it is with peculiar pleasure that we
quote from the report Of Colonel Aug
a. Hamiin, of Bangor, Maine, an
officer of the Eleventh Army Corps,
U. S. A., concerning the battle of
Charlottesville, in which, referring to
Lanes North Carolina Brigade Of
Confederates, he uses language SO
honorable and worthy Of a true man
and brave soldier, and SO we'll deserved
by the brave men whose fidelity and
valor he commentaries, that in simple
justice to him and them, we copy his
words, as they appear in his report
published in the National 21Ibune
Col. Hamln says:
Lanes Brigade was severely de
nounced for the desultory firing which
wounded Jackson and perhaps A. P.
Hill, but, neither of these officers ever
blamed the men OF the 18th North
Carolina for firing as they did, as
neither Hill nor Jackson informed
Maj. Barry, in command, of their in
tention to pass in front of his line, j,
and both Hill and Lane had warned
the troops that they were in the most
advanced position, and must be keenly
on the alert
1t is proper at this time to say few
words concerning Lanes Brigade and
consider the charges of want of firm
ness brought against it. Investigation
shows that the Brigade was composed
of young men, of the best stock the
Old North State contained, and sent
to represent it in the bulwark of
Secession-the Army of Northern
Virginia. The records of the war
show that it was in all the principal
battles of the Army Of Northern
Virginia that its blows were severe
and its losses were frightful. In the
battles around Richmond in 1862, the
Brigade lost 500 men killed and
wounded At Charlottesville it also
lost nearly 500 men killed and
wounded, and of its thirteen field
officers all but one were struck down.
At Gettysburg it formed the left OF
Longstreets charge and although it had
lost about fifty per cent in its three
days fighting, it marched off the
field in order and took position in
support of the batteries, which some
of the other brigades did not do. And
they were the last soldiers of Lees
retreating army to recross the Potomac
River, both after Antietam and Get.
tysburg.
1t may be said briefly, and without
giving offense to deserving soldiers on
either side, that SO long as examples
OF American valor are honored SO
long will the name of Lanes Brigade
of Carolinians be held in high respect
This Brigade was alone from p.
m. to 10 p. M, in front of the Federal
army, and although it had been three
times raked by the terrible artillery
fire from the Federal guns at Fairview
and attacked in flank by some o
Sickles' regiments, it did not wavel
nor call for aid.
