The first importation of spring bonnets con- sists of soft English straws, fine, smooth chips, and rough chips, in ivory white, beige brown, gray. and black. The shapes are guite larze, with ample equare crowns and a broad brim that flares widely above the forchead, but clings closely to the sides. These are similar to the Clarissa Harlowe shapes that were introduced last year for summery gypsy-like. bonnets,tand have been repeated for very dressy bats during the winter. The small cottage and Alsatian shapes that arc now so universally worn do not appear in these carliest importitions, and the rumor is that they will be laid.aside as entirely too small for summer use; however, they are 0 neat and becoming, and are so easily made and trimmed at home, that ladies will be loth to ive them up. The new large shapes are to have bows with long flapping toops, strings that pass across the top and tie the sides down close- Iy to the ears, and_bouquets of flowers put in most prominent places, as 2 single cluster in- side the front, and another outside on the top or back of the crown. These bouquets will be of mixed flowess with long stems andvery little foliage. ROUND HATS. Enelich shapes of a dozen diflerent varieties will be used for the round hats that are worn in city strects, while those for . out-of-town bave wider brims that are turned up in irregular fashion, netimes _dircctly above the forehead (as i the ‘Turcune illustraied ‘in the Buzar of last week), or clse one-half the brim is turned upward on the left side, or it may be onlya quarter between thie front and swde is rolled. ‘The Derby and Osford Lats with narrow rolled brims or clse flatly turned up sides are very lureely imported. There are . also turbans of the prettv shapes worn last summer, while 8 mnovelty ix the Da Vinci, hke the cap with. wide™ rolled brim and bell crown secu in pictures of Leonardo da Vinci. Jaunty little joukey caps of siraw are shown for dren—for voys and zirls alike. The deep wine-tinted red shades are to be as much used for trivming these hats as navy blue bas long been. A yeliowish-waite braid jockey cap is very pretty with a band of wine-red gros grain ribbon,a wide binding of the samne around 1he visor and the back, and a ravelled ribbon ro- sette to match dircetly ou top of the crown. Blue, bunter’s green, seal brown, and black trimmings are used in the same way. Other jockeys are of alternate rows of braid in blue, browa, olive; red, or black, with White, For larger girls are pretty little hats with brims drooping on the sides” in what is called the Lo- tus shape. Sailor snapes are still shown for misses and children. SPRING COLORS. The names of spring colors supplied in French ‘I'he vew blues are called fulence blue and Sevres blue, com- .vrising maoy pale and dark shades of pure tone, while the new icebers blue may be classed with'zreen as weil;, there arcalso turquoisc, peacock, and sapphire-blues thut have a great deal of green in them, The new green is called roseau (reed), and is the pale gray-green secn in reeds and water-grasses. The te used is and the yellow und brown shades are tea- , maize, old’ pold, biege, and marcon or stnut-color. There is a great deal of arzent, or silver-gray, which is contrasted with other colors. -Grenat, nacarat, and cardinal-reds will be used in most combinations. NEW COITON DRESS GOODS. A quaint movelty among. cotton goods for spring and summer dresses is called mummy cloth, and resembles in its rough printed sutface the mummy cloth upon which tidics and covers are embroidered. ‘Lhe choice desizns come in soft faded colors, such as pale blue with olive in stripes, oue of which bas sprays uf flowers unon it. Some have two or three sundes of olive fo- liage forming stripes; others have ivory'and moss sLripes, or else blue and pink sprays. The merchanis test these colors by baving them washed—not with great care, but, as they suy, “washed to fade"—und these washed samplcs are shown to purchasers to prove that the st ish faded colors arcas faded as they cver will ‘be. This mummy cloth is a yurd wide; fourteen yards are sold for a short simple aress. Coteline is a stiff, bhall-transparent cotton fabric woven in lengthwise reps or cords that nake it very durable. Itcomes in cool glean patterns of @ blue-green or o green-bluc spray on white, or in chintz colors on_cream grounds, or in stripes of the favorite Seyres blue with olive green. The sattecos described last week show all the new sbudes in chintz fizures and in stripes. Printed armurcs are also new cotton zoods. The white ground has raised threads like the brilliants formerly worn, and is strewn with pale-tinted small flowers and foliage. The zephyrs are Scotch einghams mude by Glaszow houses in contrasting cojors for plaids and stripes, such as pink barréd Wwith blue, or blue with green, or r2d with white and black. The Scoteh tartans are also shown in these goods. A grreat deal of the Russian braid lace is being imported to tritn these precty zephyr ginghams, SOCIETY TOPICS.

An ideal alfabet wud hav a distincet leter for every sound herd in speech, and but won. The leters wnd be as simpl in form as perfect leji- bility wud permit. Sounds of a sertin degre ov similarity wud be reprezented by leters ova sertin degre ov rezemblans, The consonants in the word tide wud be sumwhot alik, and yet redily distioguishabl. The consomants of ey wud difer from ech othier, not simply tu the sam cxtent as thoz ov tide, but in the sam wa. The samn wud be tru of size, the furst and last ov chanj, and ov ol pares similarly related. Then the leters wud be, as far as posibl, sugzestiv ov the sounds themselvs. For the vowels the mor open the sound, or the position ov the organs in making it, the more open the leter, cte. ) But in considering what the nu sistem we ar now secking shud be it ot to be constantly born in mind that we are not at liberty to inquir sim- ply what is intrinsicaly best. We now hava sort ov sistem, which iz too fermly rooted to be set aside, at leest for centuris to cum, however ncer jdealy pericet the proposed sustitute mit be. 7The bu sistem_must be an outgroth of what now iz. The jencral npearance must mnot be gratly chanjed. Aoy wor wio reeds Dow must be able te reed the nu atsite with scarse any dificulty. Althe the speling ov the old need not be lernd after the nu iz inogurated, yet, sios ol Enghish literature iz in the old, thoze bu lern to Teed the nu frst must be abl to lern to reed the old afterwards with litle aditional Jsbor. Hense the idea that sum ov our preseut leters mit be pat to entirely nu uses shud be ruld out as impracticabl. So also the‘idea that we ma in- vent nu leters at wil. Speeking in 8 sumwhat jeneral'sens we need hay no nuleters; but only diferent forms of sum of thoz_mnow in vus to revrezent what sr cal’d ther diferent sounds. For 1nstans, we need thre leters distiokt in form Zo reorezent the vowel sounds of far, fat, and fate ; but each shud be unmistakably au a. Too ‘forms ov ¢ wil reprezent the vowels ov meand met; too oV o thoz OV 20 ana 7ot ; 100 0V i thoz ov sitand site; thre ovu thoz o7 buf showd, new. 'Thez, with acsent marks for length wher grat exactnes waz required, wud be ol the vowcls that wud be nesesary. ‘Theconsonantal digrafs, ch. sb, th, ng, shud _be retaind, but cast on a Singl fip and trected as sing] Jeters. We ma safly lecv it to the tipmakersand printers ov the futur, neer or remot, to deviz simpler and mor sotisfactory forms, that shal stil retan caracter- istic features of both leters that enter into ecch compound. The th of thin and then shud of cours difer perseptibly from eech other.

Now, since E. B. Sherman, a Repre- sentative of the Fourth Seuatoriul District, let the cat out of the bag, by introducing the bill to plunder the taxpayers in favor of the law- reporters, it appears that the denial of Mr. Scates, who ;p:rl.ly framed said Dbill, was not quite correct, © This fraud deserves to be ex- posed.

CmicAGo, Feb.15.—Tn your issucof Fridaylast you make reference tomens a ‘“TPawnbroker without license, against whom a non-suit was 1ecently entered.” Such a statement is 2 mani- fest wrong, and does me an injury. Tam not uow, nor have I ever been, a pawn- broker, having for the last fifteen years done in this city a strictly banking and loan basiness, and baving been during all those years a large and willing taxpayer. Quite recently, a city de- tective, disguised ssa “New York traveler,” called at my office, representing himself fn zreat pecunfary distress, and in need of the trifling sum of §15, assuring me that he had coliateral, but distiked visiting & pawnbroker for the pur- pose of the loan. 1 at once refused to entertain the request, on account of the smallness of the sum required, but upon earnest, rencwed appeals from the ttraveler,” gave him the money, out of kindly, sympathetic feeling, accepting therefor his prom- issory mnote and coliateral securmg it. This transaction, even though ureed upon ine, was, er se, honest, businessike, ind legitimate, Within three or four days this detective paid the note, took up the collateral, and al- most immediately thereafter, upon ‘this trans- aetion, to which he had purposely contributed, caused me to be summoned 1s a " pawnbroker without license™ to appear at the Police Court. and linger there among thieves, thues, und dis- reputables, nwaiuu% the cunvenience of the aetectives. As one of the larze taxpayers of this city I contribute to the support and existence of the police for protection and not persecution. TIs it the policy of the department to create and foster detectives for the purpose of bringing law-abiding citizens under the peaalties of an imbecile and unconstitutional ordinance? 1 ask for information through your paper, of which, for years, 1 bave been n subscriber, whether every capitalist or banker isa pawn- broker the moment he loans moneys-or collateral? Also whether the City Cnarter recognizes in the powers vested in the (‘ouncil apy authority for the creation of a body of men koown as_détectives, and whether the spirit of our institutions contemplates those methods aud systems of cspionage tolerated und en- courazed among the tyrannies and fears of absolute gqvermments? Very respectfull yours, I, Lowr. THE PACAS. Extraordinary History of a Noted aryland Fymily. Correspondence N2w York Sun. QUEESNsTOwN, Md., Feb. 10.—Two -occur- rences of the week have recailed vividly to the “people of this out-of-the-way land the eventful history of the Pacas. On Sunday the islanders of the Wye learned, that Mrs. Marianna Eden Paca, & noted woman of her race, had just died, and on Monday they saw Wye Hall, the twin mansion of the White House at Washinzton, und the most notadle building in all Maryland, burn to the ground, with its stores of relies and rare mementoes of the past. Heory Winter Davis used to say that, apart from the Carrolls, the Pacas were the most interestiog family in Marylund. The family is uow extinet. Gov. William Paca, of Wye Hall, Hartford County, first brought the family into promi- neace. He was born in 1740, crossed to London, studied at the Middle Temple, was a hot oppo- nent of George IiL, a Delegate to Coneress, a signer of the Declaration, the husbaud of a Chew, Governor of Maryland, and what not. Governor William one day sent his cldest son, Jobn, down the Chesapeake on a cruise with orders to buy an isla.d. John rounded Kent Island, and sailed up a_duncing, low-banked little river, which he calied the Wye. The Wye runs. up_into Qucen Anne’s County, on the castern shore ot the Chesapeake for a few wmes, and branches off into creeks, one. of which s mow _icelocked at the foot of this old town. Not far from the mouth of this river Jobn came upen the island that he wanted. This low, well-wooded little bit of sea land, shuped like a dolphin, und con- taining 2,700 a:res, was selecied and named Wrye Island. dobn asked of his fatber, then Judge of the United States District Court for - Marsland, $230,000, with which® to build a masion that should be called Wye Hall and hecome the centre of the Paca domain. The money was freely given,—this was in 1791,— aud woen John cast about him for a design be learned thut o mansion, to be called the “ White- 1ouse," was goon to be erected at the new Capi- tal of the Republie, the City of Washinuton. aceordingly sailed to Bultimore, aud U the architéct who had planued the original de- sign of the Cupitol. The architect copied the acsien for the White House, and upon these plans Wye Iall was built on the south cud of the five-inile-lovg island. Thie nouse had In its front a long, broad lawn runping northward down a sloping bank to the river. ‘The building was in three parts—a large centre struciure of two stories, with wings on the east and west connected by a long hall. The main building contained a larze arawing-room, which extended its entire width, with doors opeuiug on the morth and south into lurze porticos, the gable roofs of which were supported by massive columns of brick, covered wiLi_mortar resembling stone. Over the man building were chambers for the family, and on cither side of the drawing-raom were chambers gencrally devoted to the guests. In therear ot the mansion “extended unother lawn—the south Jawn—embellished with shrubbery. Ap- pionching from the north, the visitor passed up high steps toa portico, along which extended Doric columus. A wide double doorway opened into the hall. Standing iu one end of the hall, an adult at the other end looked like a boy. Op- posite the hall door was that of the drawing- Toom, the place of gathering for the family and guests. Johu Paca furnished the house in the most costly style. ‘The drawing-room had six windows, and each was draped with a §1,000 curtain. Upon the walls were. mirrors so large that they were great curiosities in that day. Over the mantelpivee that surmounted the fire- place bung a ife-size portrait of William Paca, Copics of which arc now in Independence Hall, Priladelphia, and at the Annapolis State-House: On the walls were mauy other portraits of the Pucas, Chews, Lluyds, und other membera of e family. Upon occusions the drawlos-room, Decame a ball-ruom, and over the polished floor the miouey was walked as it was nowhere else in Maryland. When John Paca, after a good long life and useful one, tov, for be cultivated his land (turn- ine the 2300 acres into rich wheat fields and i first exportation of breadstutis from the United States to Enzlund), at last died, his son William B. Paca fell bewr to the estate. William B. Paca had turee sons, John P., Chew, and James Paillips—botn of the latter weak-minded. And so the famity lived up to and through the War, being ardent Unionists. William B. Paca lived at W§e iall when the spring of 1575 opencd, 195 sovs bavine growa to wavkood. Ou the mainland lived Mrs. Mariau- na E. Paca, widow of William’s vounger brother Edward Tilghman Paca; aud her sou Johu, and brothier, Albert Jones, both remembered now as inanly young feliows. On_the morning of the Sth "ot March, 1865, John and Albert were leaning against a femce by the roadside when Willlam B. and bis sons came ntyng by. William B., who seems to have been offoverbearing mauners, spoke barshly to bis nepheyw, bidding him leap the fence and ap- proach his horse. The uncle flourished a ridig Fhip, and John feared that it would be drawh seross his shoulaers should he obey. He there- foro stood by the fence and laughed. The two younger sons of William B. Paca, Chew nd.James, had their duckine gans across their saddles. Assoon os they saw the laugh they unstrapped the guns. “l’llpufi:e Johu,” said Chew. w17i) taice Albert,” replicd James. Joha and Albert turned to ran, but the aim of the imbeeile was perfect. John and Albert fell dead in their tracks. William B. and his son, John P., were tried at the May term of the Talbot Cotlaty Court, fn 1365, and found vot guilty. The imbeciles Lad done the shooting. Chew and James were tried ac the May term of the Caroline County Court and acquitted. They were imbeciles, and it the Lilling were murder, then the father, William B., avd the sound-minded son, Jobo’ P., were responsible for it. So there was no one punished for the crime. Shortly alter his acquittal, the newspapers anunounved that William B. Paca, ‘asonof a signer,’ had just been found dead at Wye Hall, Queen Aune’s, Md.” A year passed. John . Taca, the heir of Wye Hall, moved about like o shadow. One morbinz his -body was found stretehed lengthwise with his father’s crave, a bullet-hole in his head and a revolver 1n bis grasp. Not many mouths after this fourth Fiolent death, James Paillip, one of the imbe- ciles, took the pet dog of Wre Hall and led him down to the river. He tied 2 heavy stone about the dog’s ncck and moved to thé edge of the boatclanding. Ile raised the strugeling, snap- ping dog in his arms and gave aforvard toss. In the nick of the fall the imbecile’s arm caught in the rope, he was drasged forward with the dog, and James Phillip Paca, pet dog, and stone went. into the Wye with a splash, never to come up. Thie maiden name of Mrs. William B. Paca was Puillips. _She was an _excellent woman, and Joved her husband_and boys dearly. She stood the strain for u long tide, but at the last tragedy lost ber mind, aud is now an famate of the Baitimore Asylum for the Insane. Oue of the Pacas, Chev, still lives. In the spring and summer be can be seen playing jump-rope with the children. Soon aiter the newsof the death of Mrs. Marianna Paca(who was a blood relative of Joha . Kennedy, the suthor of note) had reached Wye, a puif of smoke came from the cxtreme et of the right wingof Wye Hall. Theislanders gathered quickly, shoremen ran across the ice from the mainland, and _dredgers stopped their rork at the mout of the Wyc, sailing up tosce the end of the Pacas. Several men hurried for buckets, many entered the hall to save the fur- niture, but the mass stood with their hands in their pockets, while the wind, whistling from tlie Chesapeake, made havoe with the burninig place. ‘There was oue thing to be saved, ex- plained the keeper to a crowd, urzing them to 0 in. “\What's that?? exclaimed the bystanders, thinking of bags of Paca gold. Tl ereat paluting of Gov. Paca, the signer of the Dedaration of Independence,” said the keeper. Yet the picture was not rescued. e ————— Brother Gardner on the Weather.
