THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1880—SIXTEEN PAGES MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE. felf-Destruction of Miss Ada Hebden at Her Brother’s Residence. Bo Cause Known, and Temporary In- sanity the Only Conjecture. A case of suicide on a merry Christmas-Day Yna family bavine wealth, refinement, and a]l the elegant surroundings that make home bappy and life desirable seems strange in- deed. The story of this startling self-murder “{s’brief. A lady who came to this city about five months ago from Canada, living at the house of her brother, enjoying with them all the festivities of the day, after dinnerstepped into the parlor, and, placing a revolver to her heart, pulled the trigger, and death resulted in a few moments after. e The scene of the tragedy was the residence of Mr. Kobert Y. Hebden, No. 3902 Lake avenue. The house is the second south of the corner of Thirty-ninth street, facing east. It has the appearance outside of com- fort, with its high stoop and bay windows, and the interior is richly decorated and fur- nished. Mr. Hebden holds the responsible position of Assistant Manager of the branch of the Bank of Montreal in this city. The household consisted of himself, wite, little babe some $ months old, his sister, Miss Ada Hebden, and, the’servants. It is stated by all in the vicinity that no family lived happier than this one. It was remarked by the neighbors that Mrs. Hebden never went out but that Mr. Hebden’s sis- ter went with her, “1 er saw these two Jadies together,” said one of the friends of the family to a TurBUNE reporter last even- ing, “ but that they were laughing and joking. ‘They seemed like fmost, affectionate sisters, and were never apart. Mrs, Hebden never went to market without her sister-in-law ing with her, and they were apparently so ‘appy. I can’t understand it.” ‘Aud that isthe story. Miss Ada Hebden wasa charming and cultured young lady, some 22 years old. She was born in Hamil- ton, Ont, where her father was Rector of an Episcopal church, She came to reside with her brother some five months ago. She had no acquaintance in this city except Mr. Hebden’s friends who came to the house. She was_delight- fully social and domestic in her habits, and all who came in contact with her were charmed with ber vivacity and i ccouvershtions wers, none in company being = en- fonaining than Miss Hebden. She had all the elements of comfort that her heart could wish for, and nothing was left undone by ‘Mr. and Mrs. Hebden that would tend in the slightest to increase her happiness. Wh she should so suddenly determine to set the great beyond seems a startling mystery. Friday evening Mr. and Mrs. [febden and Miss Hebden visited at the residence of Mr. S. G. Fisher, Jr., No. 3006 Lake avenue, whose children had a Christmas-tree, and the two families were enjoying the happiness of tho occasion With the litle ones. Mr. Fisher said to the reporter that Miss Hebden seemed. remarkably lively to him, as she participated with a keen eagerness in all the games and sports with which the evening was passed. She went home with her brother in the pame spirits, and arose yesterday morn- ing apparently unchan; in her manner, She ate her breakfast as usual, and spent the forenoon with the family, and shortly after the noon hour she came down to din- ner.. The mea! was a very pleasant one, and gave not the slightest intimation of the ter- rible tragedy that was to happen within half anhour. After dinner Mr. Hebden went up- stairs to the nursery to look after the child, the nurse having gone down-stairs. Mrs. Hebden had also ieft the room. Miss Heb- den walked to the secretary in the parlor, from a drawer of which she took a small Smith & Wesson revolver. Placing herself in frontof the mantelpiece, sne cocked the weapon, di- rected tne muzzle towards her heart, and fired, the ball inflicting a wound from which sbe diedinafewmoments. .Thealarm ‘was at once sent out to the neighbors and a bysician called in, but life was extinct, the Tetien messenger having completed its iission. ‘The shock completely unnerved rs. Hebden, and Mr. Hebden’s grief was no less great. Some six months ago he lost a sister by death, leaving a husband and five children, who are at present being cared for by Mr. Hebden’s aged mother. Even in his great grief Mr. Hebden could not but revert to the cruel blow it would be to that aged mother, and he could find but little to console him in his dire affliction. As stated before, Miss Hebden wasa youn! Jady of rare attainments, surrounded by a! the comforts, that money could buy. She hud uo cares, fand there seems no reason why she should have taken her life, except upon the hypothesis that she became temporarily insane, and in that freak committed the act. She wasa good shot witha pistol, and, as far as known, had never insinuated by word oract that she ever had a; Sesion upon her life. The Coroner and Chief of Police were notified, and an inquest will be held at® o’clock this morning. AMONG THE SINNERS. Mevival Meeting at the Halsted Street Methodist Church. The Halsted Street Methodist Episcopal Church is located in the midst of a densely- populated district, the bulk of the dwellers therein being sinners. In view of this fact, the members of the church, who are very earnest Christians, determined to have a re- vival, in order to gather into the fold as many as possible of the wandering sheep. They, therefore, invited Chaplain McCabe to conduct the services, and he held the first of aseries af meetings last night. There were about 100 people present, all apparently com- municants. ‘The exercises began ata quarter of 8 o’clock ‘with the singing of the hymn commencing Come, ye that love the Lord, And let your joys be known. The Chaplain led in prayersaying that they ‘were surrounded on every side by souls who were being led by the tempter and lost, and asking that God’s people be given a desire to ‘be made the instruments to lead these souls to Jesus,—that they might be fitted as cham- pionsof the Divine Power, and work for Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee, ‘was sung. ‘The Chaplain then read several verses from the Bible to show God’s regret at the diso- bedience of His people, and urged that, by walking humbly and truthfully in the path of obedience, the highest happiness could be attained. By obeying God we were sure of peace and viciory. All should come Nearer to Him, and get more of His grace in their hearts. ‘Then they would be prepared for the work before them. He firmly believed in instantaneous salvation. A brother prayed that they might be forti- fied with the precious blond and consecrate themselves entirely to God. Might the young be persuaded to come to Jesus and the works of the Devil be destroyed! O what a friend we have in Jesus ‘Was sung. The Chaplain invited the brethren and sts- terstospeak. Where the spirit was there was liberty, and he believed it right for ladies to take part. - A brother said there were souls to be saved, and they should have the faith that brought victory. Another blessed the Lord that he was pres- ent in bis right mind and clothed with the righteousness,—that he desired to be identi- fied with the cause. PEOPLE WHO HAD RHEUMATISIC could tell the state of the weather. He had 8 kind of an internal feeling that entered into the very marrow of his bones that God was about to pour out Ilis blessing, and that there would be a wonderful manifestation of is power in saving men. Another rejoiced that he was a child of God. The Lord found , hima sinner years ago, but now his nature was changed. Once be was indifferent on, account of sin; now be was touched with divine sympathy for those who were perishing out of Christ. 4 anited effort should be put forth to make sinners acquainted with the blessed Guspel. Another urged all to bind themselves to Christ, as His promises were wonderful, and emighty work could be done. A sister said that she was not only praying, but expecting that the Lord would soon show Dany the glories of practical salvation. tae the Uretliren and sisters sere somewhat about rising, the Chaplain expressed the wish to see four or five on their feet at once. brother believed theyhad a it work to among their neighbors friends. If they abided in Christ and His words abided in them, they would be successfal. Ihave a Savior was sung. A sister was glad she was a child of God, and she was determined to press onward and serve Him faithfully and truthfully. She had prayed earnestly thas the children in the Sabbath-school might taste of the joys of a Christian. | ‘s A stanza of “Nearer my God, to Thee was sung, A SISter spoke of her great faith, but in so low a tone that few heard her. ‘The Chaplain said in the meetings all would be at perfect aimerty to do whatever they thought was best. They should not wait for intimations from the leader. He believed every true Christian was in instant communication with God all the time, and if he listened he could hear the voice of the Spirit telling him whattodo. They should get so near God as to have the divine sym- pathy for the sorrowing, SINFUL SOULS ANOUT THEAL ‘There would be a short season of prayer, and he reminded his hearers that the great prayers of Scripture were short. ‘A brother prayed that they niight be sanc- tified soasto be set aside for the special ror of being candidates of grace and faith others. : Another asked the Lord to teach them how to pray, and give then a baptism of the Holy Spirit, Might its power touch the heart of the unconverted and induce them to leave the service of the Devil. A sister prayed that they might be drawn so near to God as_ to lose sent of self and everything except the great fact that Christ died to save souls. They should work for those who rejected Him and were going to ruin, A brother asked the Mighty Ope to come and bring deliverance to them that were bound. He prayed especially for backsliders. The Chaplain hoped for God’s blessings on the meetings to-day. Every Christian ought to pray and labor earnestly for the salvation of ten souls. After the ‘doxology had been sung, the congregation was disinissed. = It is the intention to hold a meeting. every night fortwo weeks at least, and longer if suilicient interest is awakeneu. ——9= COWARDLY ASSAULT. A Letter-Carricr Battered by a Burly Bufflan. It isn’t very often that anybody tackles one of Uncle Sam’s letter-carriers, and for good reasons. Any one who hankers after that sort of thing is exceedingly apt to discover that the returns are out of all proportion to the fun, the punishment prescribed consist- ing of a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000, or imprisonment for not less than one year nor more than three. A couple of ‘West-Side Christmasers who were feel- ing pretty well from having apparently be- gun to celebrate rather early in the day did try it on yesterday morning, however, and an hour or two later were reposine in jail, where they had ample time to exercise any vain re- grets they might happen to have. 2 The letter-carrier who begau'an otherwise merry Christmas with a pummeling was Edward Jennings, of the West Side station, residing at No, 339 West Ohio street, and his assailants, a couple of hard-looking citizens bearing the names of Edward Renuld and Frank Thornton. The latter’s connection with the scrape is less pronounced than the former’s, and may let him out, though his experlences will probably teach him a lesson in regard to the value of good company. The carrier, in the course of his rounds, stopped to deliver some mail at No, 163 West Indiana street,—an Italian saloon kept by a rson named Rizzio. He gave the mail to ts. Rizzio in time to see her push Renuld away from the door. Thornton ‘appears to have been standing on- the opposit corner about this time, though according to Mrs. Rizzio both of them had come to the door together, and manifested what she inter- preted as felonious designs on some money which she was paying a customer over tne counter. As the carrier got outside the door Henuld, who had probably abandoned the idea of Srabbing the money, if he had such 2 thought, made for him with force and arms. Jennings, though taken somewhat aback, put up his hand—in which he held a package of mail—to ward off the comin; blows. His assailant, who is a powerful fellow of the bruiser type. was unhampered, however, and gotin a blow on_his mouth, which started the crimson to flow in less than no time, sent the carrier staggering, and produced confusion in the pile of letters. On recovering, he asked the fellow what he wanted, and got atorrent of abuse for his pains, Jennings then pulled out his whistle and was Preparing for a blast which would call a stray policeman when Renuld advised him not to unless he desired to be ‘ gutted,” as he termed it. Quite acrowd had collected by this time, and the unprotected carrier, hampered with his mail and mail-bag, catled on them for as- sistance. Qne_man started for a policeman, a signal for Renuld’s renewing his attack. Jenning’s wad was fully up by this time, and he got ina blow on his antagonist which staggered him, .and caused him to retreat across Indiana street and along Sangamon, Thornton joining him, and Jennings tollow- ing. The latter, picked up a friend on the way, who consented to do the follow- ing, while Jennings posted off to the West Madison Street Station, where he picked up a trio of policemen. After some searching the fellows were tracked to alow_boarding-house on Kinzio street, where, after considerable resistanc! they were taken in. Jennings telephone down to the Government Building, and by thetime the arrest was fairly made Post- Office-Inspector Henshaw wason the ground with a warrant which had been hurriedly made out by Commissioner Hoyne. On the strength of this the two hard_ citizens were brought down-town, taken before the Com- missioner, and held in $2,000 bail to await an. examination Tuesday mornings Unable to get anybody to put up, they nt to jail.

In a pleasant little village in Connecticut there lived fifty years since a lawyer who was familiarly known among his fellow- townsmen as Wormwood Munson, a sobri- quet which sufficiently epitomizes his char- acter. He lived in a large, old-fashioned house, before which dismal Lombardy pop- Jars stood Tike wo-begone sentinels, while behind, beyond the garden, lay a private burying ground, in which were deposited the mortal remains of the three wives whom the lawyer had worried from this world to the next by abuse and ill-temper. When Munson brought to his domicile a fourth bride, the tongues of the village gossip wagged right merrily, rehearsing the scandals, the’ tittle-tattle, and the veracious history of the lawyer’s relations to his de- parted spouses. Nor did they negicct their duty in the matter of pouring into the ears of the bride all this choice as- sortment of scandal. Mrs. Munson, the fourth, was a brisk, determined little body, for whom the lawyer had been. obliged to go all the way to Bostén, his name and fame.be- ing somewhat too unsavory to allow his se- curing a wife nearer home. She received all the communications of her officions neighbors with little remark, but with a cer- tain firm closing of the lips, and adetermined snap of the eyes, which boded little good to the man who should attempt to impose upon er. She had not long to wait. One morning, not three weeks after marriage, Wormwood, who believed in taking time by the torelock, attempted to correct his spouse with a pretty little willow switch. To his great astonish- ment—for he had been in the habit of marry- ing meek women—Mrs. Munson refused to be fogged. She objected that nothing in the marriage articles gave her husband the right to use force, and, after a wordy quarrel, the newly-worded pair agreed to separate off- han The belongings of Mrs, Munson had come from Boston in one of those enormous trunks in use at that time, and in this she began to replace them. . Wormwood stood by regarding with sus- Picious eyes every article that went in, fear- {ul lest some trifle of his own might be car- ried away by his departing bride, from time totime examining the trunk to assure him- self that everything was right. His wife was plucky, brisk, and strong. Ge was tall, lean, and slow. As he stooped over the great chest she tripped his heels, and in he went, head first, the lid being closed over him before he knew what was the matter. In vain he swore and raved; in vain he implored and threatened; his wife only begged him not to over-excite himself, and merrily tripped away to the kitchen and the pantry. Never had the house of the miser known such a brewing and a Basia: The wizeved spiders in the corners actually swelled v bly, fattened by the toothsome odors pervad- ing the air. Flaky pastry, puify cakes, spicy dishes,—the eyes of the half-starved kitchen maid started from her head until she seemed tobein danger of losing them altogether; and when she was sent to invite the village Fosibs to tea she ran from house to_ house elivering incoherent messages in which her errand and rapturous descriptions of, the viands preparing were about equally mixed. Aluch might be toa of the feast that fol- Jowed, but what concerns us mainly is the fact that instead of being served upon the table it was laid upon the great chest, within next time they plug any one to ascertain whether he is one of Uncle Sam’s carriers or no HUMOR, Bear and for bear—Bruin and his dinner.

BRAVE WOMEN. in October, 1877, the brigantine Moorburg Jeft Foo Choo, in China, for Melbourne, carry- ing four seamen, the Captain, Mute, and last, but by no means least, the Captain's wife, who was alittle delicate woman, and her baby. They had not gone far on their voy- age ere the crew fell sick, and one after another died. The Mate did not succumb eutirely, but became reduced toa skeleton, and was incapabie of doing much, while tha Captain himself was almost in as miserable a Plight, his Jegs having swollen tremendous- ly, and his body being a mass of sores. His wife alone held up under the terrible heat, although she had nursed the sick until they needed nursing no longer, had looked well to her baby’s needs, had done duty at the wheel in regular watches, and taken her share of scaman’s work besides. To make Matters worse, the ship sprung a leak, which the Captain luckily was able to stop; and eventually the Moorburg got into Brisbane Harbor, half full of water, with two sick menon board as herecrew all told, and a Woman at the helm; the gallant woman bringing not only the ship but her baby safe into port, = Some timein 1871 a woman named ‘Theresa Maria, dwelling in the Village of Fratel, on the frontier ot Portugal and Spain, onthe Way across the fields with her husband’s din- uer, was told by a shepherd boy that he had seen a wolf prowling abont. Never having seen one in her life, she put down her bas- ket, and, directed by the lad, climbed toa high place, and fooking eagerly around, de- scried the animal in the act of devouring a Jamb. Thinking to scare the brate from its prey, the boy shouted at it and pelted it with Stones, so infuriating the wolf Uhat it lett its meal untinished and made for its disturber, jumping up at the little tellow’s face, tearing the fieshi and then pulling him to the ground. What did the horror-stricken woman do— Tun away? Not she. Picking up a large stone, she rushed on the beast and seized hold on him, In vain he bit and tore her iesh; the undaunted woman coutriyed to keep his throat closely infolded by her left smn while she battered his head with the stone, and at length killed him. Mean- while the villagers had been alarmed. and came hurrying to her aid, arme with guns, sticks, and stones. Aleet- ing Theresa on her way home cov- ei with blood from terrible wounds in her face, arms, ind lands, they earried her to the hospital ut Niza, where, pitiful, to tell, she expired exactly a month afterward, con- soled in her dying hours with belleving that she had not sacrificed her life in yain. A false belief, alas! for the shepherd boy died of hydrovhobia a day or two. after his lamented deliverer. | 2 ‘A poor servant girl of Noyon, in France, once proved herself areal heroine. A com- mon sewer of great depth had been opened for repairs, the opening being covered at night with some planking; but those in charge of the operations neglected to place any lights near, to warn wayfarers of the dungerin their path. Four men returning home from work stepped on planks, which, being frail and rotten, gave way un- der their weight and precipitated them to the bottom, Jt was some time before any one became aware of what had happened; and when the people gathered round, no man among the crowd was daring enough to re- spond to the frantic entreaties of the wives of the entombed men by descending that foul and loathsome depth. Presently, a fragile-looking girl of 17, stepping to the front, said quietly: “Ill go “down and try to save the poor fellows’; and creatures calling themselves men were not ashamed to stand by and see Cathe- rine Vasseur let down on her valiant and fearful mission. Then ensued a few long minutes of anxious suspense before the siz- nal to haul up was felt, and two still breath- ing but unconscious men were, with the gal- lant girl, brought to the surface. Nigh ex- hausted as the effort had left her, the heroic maiden only staid to gain breath before de- scending again, regardless of the risk she ran. ‘The second yenturenearly proved fatal. Upon reaching the bottom of the sewer, and fastening a rope around one prostrate form, Catherine felt as though she were | be- ing strangled by an invisible hand. Unfort- unately, the rope round her own waist had become unfastened, and when, after gropin, along the dripping, clammy wall, her han touched it, she had not stréngth sufficient to pall it down. Dazed as she. was she still had her wits about her, and, loosing her hair, twisted the luxuriant tresses with the rope. The TORS, was hauled up, and the horrified erowd beheld the inanimate form of the brave young girl swinging by her halr, and to all appearances dead. Fresh air and prompt ad- ministration of stimulants brought her to consciousness and the happiness of knowing that, if she had failed in saving all, ner brave endeavors had restored three of the bread- winners to their families, JONES’ CHRISTMAS-PRESENT. Detroit Post. Mrs. Jones went out the other evening to attend Prof, Swing’s lecture iu company with some other ladies of her acquaintance, and left Jones at home to mind the sleeping baby, extracting a solemn promise from him that he would not leave his charge for a moment, When she returned at 10 0’clock, radiant with exercise and amusement, she found him just where he should have been, by the crib of tht sleeping infant. As she laid away her bonnet and cloak he fidgeted uneasily, and at last blurted out: i “Maria! ve got a confession to make.” Mrs, Jones lovked at him and a terrible sus- picion darted through her mind. Ue had no chance to speak again before she flashed out: “T know it; Lean see it in your tare. On, Jones, how could you do it? Before I would have done such a thing I would have taken the scissors and cut iny head right off. Ob, Jones!

Ihope you don’t think your Jonesy capable of anything quite so bad as that ?” But she sent him down stairs on an errand, while she got the broom and poked the cen- tennial slippers, safely wrapped in several newspapers, from behind the bureau, Then she hid thom under the wardrobe, and, when he returned, was innocently yawning about in another part of the room wis hing Christ- mas was safely over. AN ADVERTISING GIRL. New York Correspondence Cincinnati Enqutrer. At the recent ball of the Seventh Regi- ment, an offense against good taste was an advertising girl, who had been sent to the ball by a Broadway confectioner. There has ‘of late been hot competition between the candy-merchants. They put their workmen into the show-windows, use electric lights, and use every means of attracting attention. Beautiful salesgirls have been a device, and several remarkable types of American loveli- ness are on exhibition in the stores. They are ostensibly employed to sell candy, but really are set upto be adinired. They are virtuous girls, for all I know, and, asa rule, | they repel any male advances. Indeed, they are not displayed with a view to draw men, but to please women. Most women are ardent admirers of beauty in their own sex, in spite of jealousy; and a_candy-store with lovely clerks is sure to be thronged by them. Well, one establisument has secured a sur- passmgly gorgeous brunet, with sparkling eyes, and lips sweeter than the poisoned sugar she sells, She is the talk of the shop- pers. In order to gain for her a wider noto- Tiety, her employer sent her tothe ball. He had dressed her at an expense of not less than $500 for her costume, and an unconject- urable amount for diamonds. These brill- jants, consisting of a necklace and ear-rings, were unquestionably genuine, and their worth was fully $25,000. It was said that he had hired them for the night of a dealer. ‘The dvess, however, was new, and fitted her too perfectly not to have been made express- ly for her. “1t was of white brocatelle and white satin, princess-shaped. The front was of gathered satin, covered with lace and white-beaded embroidery, and the train was brocatelle, trimmed with plaited flounces, and edged with 4 coral satin balayeuse, The corsage..was cut out square, and the sleeves caine to the elbows. ‘The necklace lay show- ily on her dark, rich flesh, and herraven hair was brushed well back from her ears, so that the glistening pendants might hang in bold relief. She was the'centre of glances where- ever she went, and, whenever anybody asked who she was, somebody was pretty sure to recognize her as Blank & Blank’s clerk. She will be discussed in society for » week, and no doubt the advertiggment will pay its cost. To guard against the risk of [iting the diamonds, three private detectives, in immaculate evening dress, were cousti- tuted the girl’s bodyguard. FEMININE NOTES. Sore men are called muffs because they are used to keep a flirt’s hand in. What lovers swear—to be true until death. What husbands swear—uniit for publication. ‘When the baby cries for “‘ bread,” it is the most natural thing for the mother to give ita rock. An Ohio girl was deserted by her lover at the very foot of the altar. Lucky girl! This is the narrowest escape on record. Fashion says: “Gathered waists are still very much in fayor with young ladies.” ‘They are with the young gentlemen also. There are some 35,000 more females than males in Philadelphia, and yet some peo- ple wonder why some girls marry bow- Jegged men. “Would you like to look throngh the big telescope ?”” asked one girl of another. To which the latter replied: “No, ’d_ a great deal rather look through a keyhole.” ‘The young woman who had many suitors, and from the time she was 16 until she was 21 rejected them all, referred in her tater life to that period as her “declining years,” When the young lady begins to talk of tea at the restaurant and of hot birds on warm toast, the young man shivers and wishes the old ice-cream days were back again. Conjugal conversation. Time—every even- ing during the holidays. Seene—The domes- tic hearth. “And, oh! Charles, lve seen such lovely things?’ “Huh!? “And they aresocheap!? “Huh? “And I want to buy ps —. and a —, anda—, and a —. for dear mother and the girls.’ “Hoh pt “ And something for thecbildren.” “Huby” |.the ground that being so very cheap both And there are some bargains in house- keeping things.” “Huh?” ‘And I want to buy a little gift for you, Charles.” “ Well, how much money do you want ?” *“ Can there be happiness where there is no love?” solemnly queries an author in a book on marriage, Not much happiness, perhups, but, if the girl is awfully rich, there can be lots of fun, “Ilave you seen my daughter’s baby?” inquired a fond grandmother of a friend. “Ol yes; but it isso small, so very small,” was the reply. “‘This was to be expected, for you know—don’t you ?—that she was at- tended by a homeopathic doctor,” replied G. M., with a toss of'herhead. ~~ After an enthusiastic lover spends two hours’ hard labor overa letter to his girl, and then mars its beauty by spilling a drop of ink on it, he first swears in a scientific manner for a few minutes, and then draws a circle round the blot and tells her it is a kiss; and she, poor thing, believes it. “Why is a woman more afraid of a mouse than aman?’ inquired young Smartboy of his best girl. “Oh, [assure you,” was the reply, “a mouse is much more dangerous than a man’’; and she leaned so_ heavily on his arm that he, for a moment, really dasginud he was a man.—New Haven Reg- Te FASHIONS. Latest Now York and Paris Modes. New York Evening Post. Roman pearl necklaces are very stylish, worn with evening tollets, Kid gloves are now worn to come up and completely cover the elbow. White tulle veiling, dotted with black, is very fashionable and becoming. Evening dresses are often made with skirt and bodice of distinct materials, Reception dresses in Henry I1J. style are being made for Washington belles. Chestnuts with their leaves and prickly burrs are seen upon Paris bonnets. : Many ladies carry their handkerchiefs tucked into the cuff of their coat-sleeves. Stamped velvet in beautiful evening shades is a popular material for ball toilets. Enameled shrimps mounted in silver are amoug the eccentric ornaments of the day. Watered silks are much in use for dress frlaumings and for lining cloaks of fur and rocade. Stripes are rapidly takwmg the place of small figured Watteau brocades as portions of combination toilets, Some of the new broad collars, designed for morning wear are made double, and em- broidered on both edges. Jet is not quite so much in favor in Paris as formerly, and handkerchief costumes have ceased to be fashionable. Crabs and terrapins done in Kensington embroidery ornament newly imported lunch- table spreads and finger-bowl doyties, india leopard fur isa very effective trim- ming for garments of dark or black cloth or plush. Coachmen's capes and mutts of this tur are also very stylish, The Richelieu shoes of bronze, and the Clara Morris sandals of black satin lined with crimson surah, are favorit styles for wearing with reception toilets. 3 The atest stylé of coiffure is to coil the hair in tight rings at the sides of the head, Japanese fashion, keeping them in place with long jeweled pins of gilt or silver. Flower-ornaments of gold, enamel, and silver filigree work in the shape of Marguer- ites, Jilies, and pansies, or butterfiles, hum- ming-birds, dragons, serpents, tobsters, and beetles, of silver set with pearls or brilliants, are worn as bangles, necklaces, brooches, and bandeaux, The “Mother Hubbard” cloak is one of the greatest novelties of the winter season, itis certainly one of the ugliest, being an exact copy of the cloak worn (in picture) by that traditional and venerable old lady while in search of food for her pet dog. It has a wide yoke over the shoulders, upon which is gathered a straight ungored skirt, which is very long and very full. Worst of all, iti: usually made of plaided woolen goods, lined with crimson surah, and trimmed around the bottom with a wide band of fur. Cream-white bonnets of plush and satin, trimmed with white ostrich tips and orna~ ments of pearl or frosted silver, are the fash~ ionable dress hats of theseason, to which are added broad scarf-strings of thenewapplique Jace. Clusters of bright flowers are often seen upon imported opera hats. Although entirely ignored by American milliners, this garniture is still favored in Paris, especially autumn leaves of richly-shaded plush, bright berries, carnations, and ox-eyed daisies. The ealéche bonnets and large flaring hats are worn more by American and English’ ladies than by the Parisians. Among winter novelties are the tasteful hoods of quilted satin edged with fur, which are fastened around the neck by means of small fur boas. The lining is usually of some bright color,—amber or scarlet satin, for instance. ‘These colors fo best with black satin and dark fur, but,of course, the lining in every case should harmonize with the color, if any, worn on the hat or introduced in the dress trimmings, ‘hese hoods are excelient in une respect at least: they afford great warmth when out of doors, and itis easy to remove or don them when entering or leaving a heated edifice. - The antique style of dress so much affected in Paris being adopted in America, and stiff Elizabethan ruffs, Catharine de Medicis sleeves, Anne Boleyn fraises, Diana de Poi- tiers hats, Joan of Are bodices, beside other portions of dress copied from toilets worn by Jadies in the sixteenth century, from Francis 1. to Henry IV., are beginning to appear in fashionable drawing-rooms. The old-fash- ioned “erinolets” have also appeared, their shape and size not yet being such as to entitle them to the dignity of the full name of crinv- line, which is reserved for an article that looms in the future, and is evidently advanc- ing upon our elegantes, balloonlike and monstrous, New fichus to wear with outdoor dresses are made of plush cut in long straight pieces. The broad collar is pointed in the back, and Roi de Rome shape at the sides. The straight ends. fall below the waist in front, terminating in revers, which are lined with satin. The fichu is fastened below the collar with a heavy cord and tassel. Au envelope muff to match is a pretty addition. ‘These tighus have been yery popular in En- gland, worn with the jersey bodices, and they serve to transform these extremely plain waists into more dressy looking garments. They are also made of brocaded net and lace to wear with evening dresses, The ends are then cut in points. ‘The envelope muffs are now made of cash- mere cloth, velvet, satin, or plush, and trimmed in various ways with bands of fur, lace, feathers, gimps, jets, and broad, bright ribbon bows, which can be removed and re- placed at, pleasure, bemg a convenient and inexpensive way of meeting the fashionable decree that the costume shall lack nothing of the appearance of entirety. Some of the muffs are made wholly of feathers, and bows of bright ribbon are scattered about them like tiny butterflies. Other styles still more. striking are seen, though good taste is not always 4 feature of these elaborate articles. For instance, a seal plush muff lately carried in Fourteenth street was nearly covered b an enormous gold buckle, ar owl’s head, som flying ribbons, and a spray of. autumn leaves. Charming little “Wheeler” bonnet-frames covered with plush of every shade and va- riety can be purchased at most of .our millinery stores, They have usually a soft bow or fold of plush over the top, and need no other trimming but a feather tip or a pair ot strings. ‘This is a very economical way of getting a rich and pretty hat at about onc third the usual price paid for a fully-trimmed hat. Bué many ladies object to this very commendable and money-saving plan upon mistress and maid are likely to appear of a Sunday morning with hats identica!,—which is an inevitable proof of the leveling princi- ples of this democratic and revolutionary age. Costly and elegant evening dresses are made of rich satin in delicate colors, heavily embroidered in white, or of white satin em- broidered in colors. A su’ perb dress recently brought to Americats of pale pink satin. ‘The immense train is of brocaded princess style, with Watteau bi front is of plain pink satin, which is_com- pletely covered witli a magnificent embroid- ery of shaded roses, deep pink carnations, witite moss buds, and delicate green leaves, This satin frontage isof a plastron shape, which has a Hungarian bodice with straps that pass over the shoulders and join the Watteau foids in the back. This bodice is also covered with embroidery, the beautiful design narrowing into fine sprays over the the neck. elbow sleeves are trimmed with lace Bnd embroidery, and a pocket pouch and ‘corsage bouquet is made of erushed roses, moss buds, and smilax, adorned with duchesse lace, Very fashionable, and made of plush or of cream-colored kid, are the new chatelaine bags. Those of kid are exquisitly painted in floral designs, and beth st: Te finished around the sides with a puting of satin. Clasps and chains of Roman gold or silver are added, which are used to suspend the satchels from the belts that are now invari- ably worn with round waists and jersey bodices also. ‘These bags are not worn at the right of the belt, in front, as formerly, but are placed quite far back over the left hip. Beside being an ornament to the dress they are 2 most useful adjunct to it, for the use of pocket-handkerchicf and pa Those made for street wear have a stiff lining, but the little pouches designed to accompany evening toilets are entirely limp, and are made of satin, lace, bows of ribbon, and flowers corresponding with the particular toilet worn. ed A Minister Arrested and Fined for Vio- lating the Game Law, on Complaint of an Elder. XeEsIA, O., Dec. 22—The Rev. J. G. Carson, pastor of the Second U. P. Church, of Xenia, Was summoned betore ‘Squire Buck yesterday on an affidavit sworn out by Willlam Cooloy, and fined $5 and coats for vioiating the Game law. The reverend gentleman and some friends had taken diuner at the house of a Mr. Collins, five. miles north of the town, and in the afternoon concluded toindulge inarabbit hunt. While ongaged in the exciting pleasures of this sport, the purty innocently strayed upon the premises of the nforesaid Cooley. Until recently Mr. Cooley bas been an Elder in Mr, Carson's congregation, but owing to some didiculty with the pastor and others he withdrew from this‘congregation, and since has worahi; elsewhere, But the fact of bis haying Mr. Car- gon fIned while none of the others in the party were molested iudicates that his animosity against the worthy pastor bas in no degreo abated. Mr. Carson's friends are very indignant at the treatment he bas received, and promptly paid his fine, while those who stand without the fold are disposed to took upon the whole trans- ses an excellent joke on all parties con- —— The Dolls of Ruode Island: Few dolls are made In this country, says the Providence Journal, but it should be made known that two maiden women In Rhode Island ake, and have made for several yeurs, a doll that is sought for by dealers in all parts of tho country, ordera coming from Southern States.
