FASHIONS FANCIES.

The newest hats have their crowns
entirely made Of flowers and leaves,
and these are all shaped with straight
brims, to be worn we'll forward over the
ears, turned up at the back, trimmed
with rosettes or large bow of velvet.
Old laces or gnipures are made up to
serve as n sort of su1plice-shape orna-
ment, which spreads out in square tabs
on the shoulders, narrowing into q
pouch at the waist and spreading out

These SUPPLIES are generally trimmed
with fur, feathers or ruches of chiffon.
Over in Paris there is much wearing
OF velvcteen, plain and printed. The
fabric, Enthusiastically graceful, deserves
the commendation it receives, but it is
an odd fact that the cheaper grades of
velvcteen seem to last longer than the
more expensive; being of less deli
cate texture, they do not crease so
easily.
Furs of the dainty and delicate order
are now worn Tar into the spring. The
feathery softness of chinchilla, the

GREELEY AS AN ORATOR.
The Famous Editor Had Many Pc
culinrities, but Always Snid
Something Good.

Mr.. Greeley was not an orator in any
scholastic sense. He had poor and
somewhat squeaking voice; he knew
nothing of gestures, and he could not,
take an orators pose. which"adds such
emphasis to the matter and argument,
to be set forth. Not all his years of
practice on the platform and. on public
occasions ever changed his habits ana
methods as speaker, and he ended as
poorly equipped in the respects named
for the vocation as when he began. But
he had one prime quality, without
which all the others are exploited in
vain. He invariably had something 10
say, and he said it in such clear and
wholesome English. with such SINGER
ity, that he WAS an orator in spite OF al
the rules. says Narprr's Magazine.
TO state it briefly. of all the cm;nrni
speakers | have introduccd-and ii:nr,
than once--there was not one who gave
better satisfaction, different and i.aia
bic as they were. than Horace G:rrl".
RS consequence, he came TO me often
est. and wore the best. We might a.
might not agree with some of his pc
cuiiar premises. as when be says: II h.

1. All subscribers who do not

all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers refuse or neglect
to take their periodicals. from the

4. Subscribers moving to other
places without informing the pub,
Usher, and the papers are sent to the
former address, they are held re-
sponsihle.
5. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the

uncalled for, is prima facie evidence
of intended fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time they do not. wish to

will be responsible until an express
notice with all arrearages are sent to

Z. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
anyone for fraud who take paper

Under the law the man who allows
his subscription to run. along some
time unpaid, and then orders the
postmaster to mark it refused" and
have postal card sent notifying the
publisher, leaves himself liable to ar
rest and fine, the same as for theft.
