Quixcy, IlL, Nov. 21.—The msn Grey, anac- count of whose arrest was telegraphed you yes- terday, was first taken into custody. The only yvideuce againet him was the fact that he bad m bis possession $375 in postage-stamps of & Wrge denomination. Postmaster Piggott tele- praphed in various directions to find what of- Fces had lost stamps. Among others, the Post- Dffice at Unionville, Mo., had beon entered on tae night of the 12th of this month, the burglars saking all the postage-stamps sbout the estab- lishment, amounting to sbout $200, and s lot >f county -warianis aud pspers, smounting to about ¥800. In addition to this they secured registered letters, and s lot of private property. Groy declared that he ENEW NOTHING ABOUS THE ROBRERT. but, upou being assured of protection, he made she following statement : He said be was just aut of Lio Missouri Peuitentiary, where he had been sent for forging tax_titles, while acting as Deputy Sheritf of Holt County, in that State. He has also been Enrolling Clerk of the Mis- souri Honee of Represcntatives, and held vari- While 'in the Pen- sus- other _offices. Hentisry he mado the scquainiance of Peters, or Crawford, who was knovwn thers 8s * Stamps,” because of Lis con- nection with many similar robberies, and whose term expired some six weeks before Grey was released, Before leavisg the Penitentiary Craw- ford promised to send him money here in Quin- cy, but instead of greenbacks, HE SENT POSTAGE-STAMPS, ‘which Grey offered to sell before e left the of- fice, aficr receiving them. The etamps wero mailed to him from Monlton, Ia. Ho supposed Crawford had stolen them, but he did not know. He promised to icll where to find Crawlord as scon as he leared where he went to from Monlton. A short time after he told Piggott that he could tell bitn where Craw- ford was, but was afraid of big Life. Upon being reassured hesaid he had just left Crawford, who was in town. CRAWFORD WAS ACCOBDINGLY ARBESTED, and just as he was about taking the bost for XKeokuk, as he bad learned the situation of mat- ters. On his person was found $120 in cash, but 10 stamps. Tha principal in the affair being secured, Pig- pott went to the American Express office and fouad a package, which was evidently itended for & fence of the robbers. The Cap- tain got an order {rom Petors, the name he gave at the express office, for the Ppackage, and upon opening it found it to con- {ain £156.90 in Stemps, they being done up in & copy of the Unionville Republican, dated Nov. 12, sddressed **J. C. Valcotine.” Postmaster Pigyrott ot once telegiaphed to the Postmaster st Unionville, who cawe on, and identified the slawpa, and the private property taken from his office. In fact PETERS PLEADED GUILTY tothe robbery, and explained tho manumer in which it wsa committed. The capture of Peters aliza Crawford has checked the operations of one of the most expert post-office thieves in the country. He is sbout 5 feet 5 inches high, with bl:u:i:L bair, dark complexion, and light im- peri The amount stolen from Unionwlls was of the value of $400. It if believed that Peters has lately gene through a number of post-ofices within 2 sbort distanca of Quincy.

Naither Poters nor Grey served the fall term of their sentence, They are both anxious to get back to Missouri for trial, as they think they staads better chance there than in Ilimois. it appears that Missouri has an organized bureau which se- cures pardons for crimioals after they have served three-quarters of their time.

D. Williams, found guitty of embezzling the funds of the Connesnt- ‘villa National Bank, was sentenced to five years' imprisonmens in the Westprn Penitentiary of lmylr_nnh to-day, by Judge McKennan, of | the United States Circuit Court. The history of the case, as currently reported outside the Coart, show a remsrkable state of affairs in the banking matters as carried on by the Direc- i tors of the bank, poor Williams being the scape- goat for their transaotions. Somo fime during lnst summer an oil-farm known a8 the McGarey, was to be sold at Sherifl'a sale. The Directors, thinkicg it would prove s good specnla- tion, outhorized Williams to purchase - it with the funds of tho bank, He used $13,000 for the purpose. The farm proved a bad investment. The Dircctors backed out of the arraugement, leaving Williams to answer for the funds. Ono morning Williams was found bucked and gagged in the bank, and it was claimed that the institution had been robbed. 1t waa alleged that Williams had Jaid the pian himself, and that ho was the robber, bt it was not proven in court, 1t was shown, however, that he used tho funds of the bank as author ized by the Directors, but, nevertheless, was found guilty of the charjze of embezzlement, and sentenced to the lowest penalty possible under the circumstances.

Friday night, the Superintendent of Polico learned, for the firet time &t is presumed. of the existence of & gaming-houss at No. 148 South Clark street, and under hus direction its inmates were arrestod, aod taken to the Armory. There are those who eay that thia particular house was puiled because it does not belong to a partioular combination or riug of gamblers, whose mem- bors aro oxempt from arrest or molestation on account of s private understanding with the Superintendent of Police. This, however, canuot be true; and it is presumed that toe reason why the Saperintondent of Po- lico does not make raids upon the other gam- bling-houses of Chicazo is because he is uua- ware of their existence or whereabouts.

Now, I think the best thing to do will be to strike at the owner of the building, who 13 & very wealthy man, and should be above letcing out hus premises for such illegal pur- poses, when ha could have it occapied by some good business parties who are law-abiding snd respectable. Mr. A. S. Sesloy is the owner, and the gamblers hold the lease from him. I have o doubt but that he gets an enormous rent for the premises, & 1t is on the second floor.

A GENERAL EAID IN XEW YORK, New Yomrk, Nov. 21.—The police to-night made & general raid on the gambling-houses, and arrested a number of persons. ———— SEEKING TO INDICT. THR GRAND JURY. The Grand Jury met again at 10 o'clock yester~ s gam- day moroing, snd resumed their investigation regarding the keepers of gambling-houses in Chicago. The witnosses who testified were Frank McCleutben and Charles Snowden, of the Times, Mr. Hncker, of tho Staafs-Zeitung, and Ald. Foley. Their testimony wounld scem to have boen more of & goneral than specific char- seter, since the foremsu of the jury applied to Judge Booth for sn answer to the question whether ** genersl reputation™ was sufficient to convict a man' of Leeping & gambling- nouso. The Judge teplied emphaticaliy “No,” and State's-Attorney Reed re-echoed the monosyllable. Soon after the return of the foreman to his associates they adjourned until Monday morning, making no report what- ever. It is probable that they will reach a con- clnsion Monday morning, make their return, aud o discharged at noon. They have alrendy been in session three weoks,—the longest period & Grand Jury bas ever eat in_this county,—and havedono good service. What determination they may reach npon the subject which has. en- ed 80 much of their time and attention no Gno can definitely state. Thera ia an imprension ‘prevailing, however, that they wili indict ffteen ar twenty gamblers ; but what that impression is based upoo is not stated, and, therefors, it must be accepted curm grano sali The Times of yestorday contained an article wherein the Grand Jury was fiercoly attacked, and. the question 2a to ita validity mooted. 1t was asserted that Reaben Taylor, the foreman, had served on a Grand Jury last October, and that Mr, Gaskins seemed to be inseparably at- tached to every Grand Jury called in this county. ‘The former statemont is incorrect, Mlr. Taylor Dot having served for nearly a year; the latter is true. ‘TRIBCNE reporter asked Mr, Reed . yesterdsy wk? 3Mr. Gaskins served on 8o msuv Grand , aud_ his answer was: * He is good clerk, s0d underatands tak- | ing down evidence, and it is necessary to have such & ona. Not averybody can do it, 8od, if this | or that juror was requeated tokeep toe mioutes, he, being green at such work, would make mis- takes, snd not only delay the investigations bat | mix up mattsrs 80 thas they could hardly be rec~ Tnere ia no law against o man serving on a Graod Jury several timea in succession, though, if he has served, he can prosent tho fact as ao excase and secure his dismissal on tuat ground. Henco the attack of the Times was withoat grounds. e e LAST NIGHT'S RAID. ANOTHER HOUSE PULLEDT The Police Board, inclading tho sublime Reno, and Klokke the Hatter, have been stirred to the very fouodations by Tus TRIBONE. Yesterday they hold another conclave andresolved to order Capt. Buckley to made » second pull. The keno, faro, and roulotte rooms at No. 183 3Madison strent, reported tobs kept by John Dowling & Co., was the objective point for last night's op- erations. Sergt. Conners was intrusted with the task, sud, with twelve mon dressed in citizona' clothes, made a successtul raid, taking po less thau forty prisoners. In the early partof the evening four officers quietly slipped into the place, attired in citizens’ dress, snd remained there for s few minutes, when they cautiously guarded the doors snd awaized the coming of the squad under Conners, koeping, meanwhilo, & careful eye on the inmates to prevent es- capes. The faro and other apparatus for playing were conflscated. Tho prisouers were marched to the Armory in pairs. So quiatlv did the ofti- cers act that o crowd .colleoted, and tho prison- ens were not geeted by outsiders as they walked out of the gambling-ronms. All were consigned to cells nutal the arrival of Juatica Boyden at mid- night, when they were bailed in the sum of $2)0 each, Dowling becoming surety for the whole party. Cbarles Jones was put down as the keep- or. of the place, and such names ss Henry Williams, James Jones, Charles Smith, aod Willism Brown wera given by the inmates, none of whom, evidently, gave their real patronymics. None ot the other gambling-houses were raided, and they were 2!l in fuil blast last night. WINTER—RICH AND POOR. To the Editor of Ihe Chicago Tribune: Brn : Tho timo has come again when the seri- ous and bevevolent heart contrives to work for the poor. In every quarter of Chicago you feel » disposition to jorganize something for the ro- liof of the sufferings of the poor, Those iovita~ tions to do good will especial'y be addresed to the ladies of Chicago, who are alwara 80 prompt to respond to theerv of distress, who hare so much charitv and kindness towards the forsaken, and who kuow so well how to beg for the neces- sitous, Winter is upon us,—so sweet for the rich, so bitter for the poor. That season, ladies, is for you the time of pleasure, and for the poor the time of sufferings. Winter is & warm room, whera friends visit you; . whers you resd B0 comfortably to each other, either = serious or light literatare. Winter is the theatre, the ball, the velvet- cushioned carriage, which takes you to the parks or to the boulevards. I see you hidden in your furs ond laces, as a violet in the moss; around you the rolling of your aristocratic margnise- bugemor or landans,—dazzling dresses, smiling salutations, jovful counversations, happiness all aroond. For you, suow is an agroeable atmo- snherical surprise,—a galanterie of Heaven; it is the swan-necked eleigh, the jovous belt of bells on your pur-sang horses. The cold,—it is the skate which you so gracefully put on, and with which yon trace thousands of arabesques on the icy crsstal, to your heart's content. For ;ou, winter isan astronomical nlaything,— | challotge to Nature,—a triumph over the - elcrments. Yon give the lis to the batomet-r; yon laugh at the calondar. In your salons, the summer-flower; on your tables the early rreens of spring. You not Lnow if we are in December or in Mav. You have the sill-worm temperature around you. Daring the coldest nicht, some will dance, cos- tamed in nemephar or in orienales. Itis for you that winter multiplies its fash- ions, its pleasares; the cashmeres arrive from Tudia, the flowera from the South, laces from Belgium. It is for vou that a fashionable orator, 1 prencher, a lectuver, will deliver his polished digcourse: that the prima-donns will sing in theatres; that the choir even will sing the glo- ries of the Most High. Yesterday, you were at the wedding, at the ball, of Mrs. L or Mrs. G; to-dav, I sce you, in a modest and charming way, asking help for & benevolent 1ustitution ; to-morrow, you will even organize a ball, or anytbing whers yon will re- ceive again wnat you ask for anothier charitable institation ¢ 1n.all that, bow many trinmphs! how much pleasare ! how many blessings! We will not speak of your fatigues ; you have as many phy- sicians as dressmakors. Alas! much- differont is the wintor for the needy. Incold, he hasno fire: in hunger, ha s 6ven no bread; misery creeps swiftly around him, and looks his children in the face.” Behind your lace curtains, life expands iteelf snd luxury dazzles ; in his vaked room, loneliness and dis- easo from want,—poor children crying for food, between their father without work and their sick and hopeless mother. No noise, uoless it is the winter-wind whistling through tbe chimney or o 0 disjointed planks of the house. Somotimes l?uk voice says, *Iam cold ; " another, I o buogry ;" and the only answer is & sup- |feressed and Leartronding ery. Wranping berself in s rag, the mother will take her poor babg in her feeblo arms, snd will go out to bag at_the County Agent's, or any- where else—God knows whore she goes, sio does not know it. Sho thinks some one will give her withont asking. She shivers, and you aro warmly wrappod fn your earriage, passing be. She is hunery; and in reatsurants, in your honses, are all the gastronomical treasares of the glcbo. Bhe is desolated, and she .ees bat josful faces. She walks,—alwars walks,—and sho docs not meet that Providence, who probably has taken tbe other sidewalk. Those eufferings, those miseries, you alone, ladies, ate called upon to alloviate; in your kind~ ness you have learned how to know end succor them. You do not wait till somebody calls on you, but your daily visits to the poor prove that you go to those who dare not ask, and who wonld rather die than beg. Some weeks azo I saw an appeal from Mr. G. Demars in behalf of the Fronch Benevolent Society, and, in fact, on be- half of all the charitable institutions of Chicago. Lzdies, those benevolent socisties are the bog- gars for the poor; thov implore your help; and. as your winter 18 a perpetual spring, you will five away a fow of your flowsrs to soothe the torments of the winter of the poor. ~ PHILo. WHAT IS WANTED. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Bre: There is & great deal of effort being mads to better the condition of the working women. . Hoping that the reformers in this movement are not anxious to find out what we don't want, and give it to us, we would like to tell them what we do want. We want a training- school, whero we can learn an honorable trade or business. Wo are willing to learn and pay for instruction. We don't want charity. We don't want pity. We want no homes other than what wo can earn by tne strength of our .own right arme. Wo don't want to be immured in a colossal nunnery, with- out even the advantage of religious entbusiasm. We are not *‘decayed gentlowomen,” that we ‘want to be laid away in any monument, * sacred to tho memory” of = fow of our benovolently- inclined fellow-citizens. We_ want a school where wa can receive instruction, and in aiter years be able to point to it, not as a poor-house protege refers to his abodo, but proudly, as the graduate of sny theological or medical collego points to his Alma Mater. Givo us this, and we will go in and win the rest. 3 A Worzrye WoMax. Educated Oysters. Before the railroad days our oyster-growers used early in tho fall to canvass the villages on the Hudson River for orders, to be filled just be- forethe river should be closed witn ice. The meaning of thisis that these men committed themselves to supply oystersin the shell, with the guaractes that tho bivalves thua supplied shouid not dio before their time came. The oys- ters were actually kept alive during the greater part of the long winter. The fat bivalves were bandled with some care, and were spread on the cellar floor, the round or lower side down, 80 as not to allow tbo liquor to escape. That sucha life required a great changa of capacity or babit in the bivalve is evident: and it needed a train- ing, yes, an education, ere the oyster attained such ability. And this was the way it was done: Boginning carty in the fall, the cuitivator of the oyster took up the fat bivalves from their bed where ho had planted them, aud laid them # littie higher up on the shore, so that for a short time each day they were exposed out of the wa- ter. Afters few dsyaof this exposure by the retreating tide they were a little higher still on the shoro lino, which gave them alittle Jonger exposure to the air at each low tide. And this z:oeeu was continded, each remove resultin a longer expo-ure. And with what results ? ‘Two very curious ones—inurement to exposurs, and the inuloation of & providens habit of mak- reparatios for the same. What! provi- | D oioan oyster? Yes, when he's educated. | When sccustomed to this treatment, era the tido retires, the oyater tales & good full drink, snd retains the rame until the tide returns.

Ain’t dry mrself. Hows'ever, guoss I will tako, adrink for fear I might get dry.” With better philosophy on their side, theso educatad oysters twice in every twenty-four hours took their pre- cautionary drink. The French method of oys- ter-training is much more laborious. The aduit bivalves aro carefully spread outin the water, aud periodical lessons are given to each one in- dividually. Each oyster on this occasion re- ceives a tap. not with a ferrnle, but with 3 small iron instrument, - ‘This causcs the bivalve to close tightly. Finally the last day comos with its last premonitory tap, Its education thus finished, it takes passsye with its fellow-grad- uates for Paris.

Rooton Eminent Domain Specinl Assessnients, £tc. James P. Root lectured yesterdsy afternoon before the stadents of the Law School on”the subject of Emineot Domain, Special Assess- ments, ete. He spoke substantially as follows : 1he power of the Government to tako the property of the citizen is inherent and absolute, except 80 far a8 it is restrained by limitation im- posed by a written constitution, or by a custom 80 old that the people will rise in rebellion when it is violated. This power does mot proceed from a grant, bui is of the essence of govern- ment. We cannot conceivo it otberwise,excent in s state of nature, where tho peron ceses to be a citizen, aod scquires what jhe is aile—holding the same by physical force. In the earlier bistory of the world this power was sbsolute, and, if there were any limitations, they were self-imposed, and could bo revoked as easily a8 they were fmposed ; but, s intelligence ‘beame more general, the poople began to insist upon some rights, and gradually monarchs were timited in power. William of Normandy set bimself up as & governmeont in Enclaud, abso- luto as to sutbority, but his succossors were curtailed, andby means of treaties, acts of Par- linmeats, war, and deposition of sovereigns, tho Euglish peoplo Lave a Constitution ss bindiog as our own. The Government has been ‘**hedged about.” THE POWER OF THY GOVERNMENT consists of two kinds. First—1That which enables it to acquire & rovenue Ly taxation. Second—That which enables it to acquire par- ticular property withou: conseut of its owner, aud is called eminent domain. Taxation is that which requires every person to contribute romething to the support of the Government, whether ho will or not. The Gov- erumeut bas a first lien on all he has fo the ex- teut of his share. EMINENT DOMAIN. is the taking of land against the will of the ownver. It caunot be land geaerally, but must be some particuiar varcel. It mnst be for some patticular public purpose incident to Govern- ment—something of bepefit to the paople. The oceasion of its exercise is to be determined by the Government. This is a political question, and is sometimes known as the policy of tho Goveroment. This is not » question for the Ju- diciary. Just compensation elall be made. ‘This 18 an expre3s provision of the Constitu- tion. It appears, then, as to this power: First—It is inbercut in ths Government. Second—1t must be for a specific publio pur- pose. d Third—It must seck specific land. Fourth—Just compensation shail be made. A8 has been stated, the genersl ralo is that tho Government determines the necessity, but a case may be put 8o flagrantly outrageous that tho " ecourts would be suthorized to_interfers, Suppose it were in nosense for & public purpose. Suppose it wero to condemn iana for a dairy- farm for tho benefit of & private corporation. would it bo competent for the General Assembly :o declare it a pabiic purpose, 2ad thereby make tso ? 1t seems to ma that the sole rule istoask whether the public or a citizon would havea right of action against the corporation for fa.l- inz or refusing to do the thing for which it 18 1n- corporated, a8 in case of & cOmMmon CarTier, OF in case of a toll road over which all persons may travel! In determining WIO MAY EXERCISE TEE POWER, we may safely fay: First—The Stato, for public buildings, high- ways, or canals, Second—Such municipsl corporations sa shall be established by law with sathority to open and impiove roads, walks, paras, and other improve- mubnugs intended for the beneitof the general ublic. v Third—8uch corporations as are organized for private proiit. but whoso object is to benetit the public, a8 in case of railways and other common carriera. Theso latter are called quasi public. Municipal corporations may be authorized generally to make improvemests within certain limits, and in such cases the Municipal Govern- meut can determine whon the necessity arises ; but the claza of improvemonta will be limited by tho orgamie law of the corporation. Quasi- public corporations can only be authorized to oxercise the power in the particular case an- thorized. ' THE MODE OF PROCEDURE i8 established by law. Befora the Court can pro- coed it must appear that it has jurisdiction of the subject matter and the person. Furst—Tho corporation must appear to be an- Eroond—Tn cond—The purpose must be public. Third—The particular fid most be designa- ted, and ita owner brought into court. Fourth—That the petitioner is unable to agree with the owner as to price, or that it canno: be acquited in any other mode. In Itlinois, by the Constitution of 1870, the componestion must be ascertained by a jurs, and by statate of Illinois the benetits which may ac- crue to the owner by reason of the proposed 1m- provement cannot be considersd in reducing his damages. In the Constitution of 1870 tho word *‘damaged” inserted, so that privato property canaot be taken or “damaged” with- out just compensation. This is a very sly amendment. The profession have not yet fully determined its acope, it is probably intended to prevent railroad companies from occupying bighways to the injury of property owners, or perbaps to compel the city to pay property own- ers the damage they suffer when the grads of a streot is raised. A TAX is the share of the citizen, which he is required to contribute to the support of the Government. The _anthority to lovy if, the principles upon which it is levied, and the modo of its collection, aro provided for by the Constitution or tha stat- ute. While the power to tax is inherent in the State, the Stato Constituaion is a limitation on tbat power. The Constitution of the United States is a grant of power ; but a State Legisla~ ture may do any act not prohibited. Yet the kinds of taxes, and the modes of their levy in the State Conatitution, are held to oxclude every other kind and mode, so that it amounts sub- stantially to & grant. - ‘I'axation is then governed by ecertain princi- ples., First—Taxes must be uniform throughout the jurisdictive body 1mposing them. That is, every person must pay tho same rates in every part of the municipality, and in order to ascortain the ratoa valuation is fixed by somo person_elected or appointed in the manner provided by law. Second—A corporation cannot levy taxesupon property outside of its limita. *hird—None 'but corporate suthority can lovy taxes, that is, privato corporations cannot. It must be doue by persons duly elected. Taey embrace the State, counties, towns, cities, vil- lages, road districts, school districts, and_such gthle.r municipal divisions 88 shall be established y law. EPECIAL ASSESSMENTS ! are a species of taxation, but areleviedon a prin- cipledifferent from general taxation. The amount to be raiscd is for a specific public purpose, aud is levied on real estate only, 80 that each owner pays in proportion to the benefits hia land de- rives from she improvement. The authority to make them is given by the Constitution of 1870 to municipal corporations. No ereater sum than the amount of the bene- fita can be levied, and, it there is an excess. it must be paid by the corporation. Tha latter must also pay its ehare of the special benefits. The leading case in this State on tho subject is Larned vs. Chicago, in 34 Illnois reports, where- 1n Judge Arrington eatablished a great reputs- tion as an able constitational lawyer. The lacturer appealed to the students to pre- ‘ara thomselves thorougbly on all thess ques- tions, for to the legal profesaion the citizen must look to protect him from unjust and illegal taxa- tion. He spoke of Jobn Hampden as sn emi- nent tax-fighter, and while he would advise no one toresist for the make of resisting, yer, if pnbllclnn&nrfillu‘}wn&d that the eifiz;:i 2oqui- escad 1o {lle, evios, the tendancy would b pile up the fm-dm ’, s FASHION _Modes for the Little Ones. Hair-Dressing --- Bonnets---Costumes --- Furs---Boots---Infants’ Bobes. Ia the press snd burry of fashionable life, the writing np troussesus, and the discussion of re- ception,. opers, and home costumes, the litile opes are apt to be forgotten, or at least nezlect- ed. Yet every fond mother, who has a theory of her own upon the swzn queation, wonders why this is, and thinks tbat fashion-wniters might occarionally devota an asticle to the little ones. Even if she feels forced to admic that the darling of her heart is “an ugly duck” still she believes that, if dressed properly, it wonld immedistely nse into a higher sphere of loveliness than any of ita kindred could possibly assume. Itisin respect to this hallucination, if ballncination it be, that we pur- pose to davote this article to the little ones and the young misses. STARTING, THEY, WITHK .THE STILE OF IAIR- DRESSING, we find the very easy ana sensible fashion of wearing the hair braided down the back. becom- ing somewhat passe. This is nnfortunate, for it was 8 neat coiffare for echool-girls, keeping tha hair neat, and not occupying much time in dress- 1og. ‘ Young misses who have long light hair stifl wear it crimped and floating for evening- parties, when such are given to the lit- tla folke. A fancy hss srisen, how- ever,—und, for ~ those whose hair is dark, it is 'more beocoming,—of crimping tho hair, and then coiling it 1n & spectes of rosette at the sides, and occasionally on top of the head. Another fancy is for three or five crimped rolls at the back of the head, loosely adjusted like long puffs, and not made over rats. SHll » third, whera the hair is natarally carly, is 10 carry it back and tie it; at the nape of the neck, with a bow of- Cardinal-red ribbon, allow- ing four or five thick curis to fall on the shoul- ders. When the hair is light aad soft, and waves in and oubt of curl with each motion, this is s particularly pretty way of arranging it; anda biack velvet bow 18 evon to be proferred to the deep red. This style is not pretty for dark hair, and should never be worn if the hair ia- thin, a8 the curls, especially if motof the wary kind, must be thick acd heavy, and fully 28 large around as an ordivary-sized nspkin- ring. A ourions comparisno, perhaps, but il more nearly approaches the corrcct size than anything else we can think of. The little ones wear flossy curls and crimps in light hair ; while, in dark bair, the waves are mada larger, and oc- casionally the hair is rolled under 3¢ the neck. The single braid will still be retained to & grest extent for the petito bruncttes. The most cherming tittle BONNETS are made for children this winter,—velvat seem- ing to be used a8 much for them 2s for their mothers. A pattern hat was mada of black vel- vet, with the sloping crown saoothly covered. The front turned back in a stiff coronet, which waa covered with velvet and faced with bluesilk. Donble lace ruches in front of this, between which was a roll of blue ilk with a Valenciennes edge, finished the front, with the exception of & tinv bunch of moss rosebuds on ‘the risht side. The blue silk was also rolled around the outside of tne crown, edged with the Valanciennes isce, and finished with a rosetts of blue ribbon, from which fell s pale-pink ostrich-tip, The ribbon for ptrings was rolled around the lower part of the crown, snd - thence fastened im cor- roct tying lengths st the sides. A rosetts of the ribbon at the {fastened the cape up 80 as to show the lining. Tt was a little gem, and suitable for any colored Strest-wrap. Another one, in seal-brown velvet, with & shirred front, was trimmed with brown silk and ribbon, but had no feather,—its only ornament boing a tiny bunch of rosebuds, sod gay, dark leaves on one side. With a sealskin coat it would bave been in perfect harmonv for & win- try day. A third, in black velvet, with & pink shirred front, was charming, and_ intended to be worn with & pink matelasse sscque. Pretty little bonnets, with shirred crowns, and tiny bonquets of flowers in the niches, wera also oxdoedingly preitv. All thesewere intended for little misses of 2, 3, and 4 years. - For the elder girls, the preference still ssems to be for felt, in al shades of drab, dark-blue, and invisible-green, with an occasional black one. A navy-blue felt had quite & high crown, nnd was turned uo at the side. Around it was wouund a bright plaid scarf, whils loops of this scarf and of dark velvet, with cock's feathers colorad blue and dotted with black, and s _gay bird, completed it. Another, for a girl of 10 or 13 years, was of gray felt, also tarned up, and bonnd with dark-blue velvet. A band of folded silk, of & much lighter shade of blug, passed around the crown, and formed loops at the side, whers it was mixed in with the bright plamage of tho blue-jay. One in sailor-shape, s light gray, waa also trim- med with twoshadés of blus, with light-blue feathers instead of dark ones. Another, sailor- rhape, in sedl-brown, had a facing of seal-brown velvet on the rim, and » scarf of bright Prince- Charlie plaid wound sround it and caughs in loops and ends, with bows of valvet inter- mingled. One, of tho very lightest gray, bad a rolled brim, with trimmings of light-blue velvet, and five small ostrich-tips clustered on the right side. thhe lower grades of camel’s hair make admira- o 2 BCHOOL-DRESSES for misses from 12 to 14 years of ag~.

Accompanying this was a black matelasse-cloth snoque, with gray feather-trimming. The sacque was cut in adeep point behind and in fromt, sloping upward at the side, and fitted clossly to the fipure, The deep drapery slecves wero rounded =t the wrist, and then fell in deep points, like Dolman sleeves, at the side, These bad & band of festhers passing around them also.
