SPRING BONNETS. Radical Changes in the Head Dresses of the Fair. BRIGHT TINTS AND SUNSET SHADES, Pretty Faces Framed in Masses of Brilliant Flowers. ‘When daisies pied, and violots blue, And cuckoo buds of yellow hue Do paint the meadows with delight, bonnets are not to be outdone. The great variety of shapes for the new season is said to be the result of the mixed nationalities which have imposed their influence upon Paris fashions during the last year; but be that as it may the materials of which hats and all head coverings are to be manufactured will include the same which were introduced nearly a hundred years ago. Many of the shapes are larger than last season; Bome are repetitions of the cottage style, but others have flaring brims rising over the forchead, with sides pressed flat to the head. Elegant importations are of soft chip or Tuscan, with rather large crowns of medium height and wide brims of equal dimen- sions all around. The brims are bent by the mil- liner in any way that may seem becoming and desir- able, and in consequence there is a variety of coquet- tish*jauntiness which is extremely pleasing. So the “fashionable and fair’ can be in style this spring, and at the same time wear a hat that you can see without the aid of a magnifying glass. The latest and most effective shape for street and carriage wear is the “cappobia.” The crown is very broad and flat across the top, while the front flares very high heavenward. This is filled in with flowers. Then, again, the brim is lined with shirred silk, or with velvet of a dark color, which affords effective contrast with the outside trimming, and flowers are placed in heavy masses upon the outside, where sometimes as many as ten large roses are disposed in @ continuous row without admixture of any foliage. Rich ostrich plumes also sweep over these wide and fancifully caught brims, and in white or pale shades of yellow are delicately refined. Young ladies wear brims falling low over the forehead but rising high at the back, where they are filled in with heavy sprays of flowers and ostrich feathers. The straw bonnets are not so pronounced, but yet in general have the brim flaring over the forehead, with sides coming close. Here may be observed many new mixtures of color, for not afew are dyed in alternations of red, yellow, blue and brown, Other bonnets for general wear are chips in black, brown, olive, écru and blue, in both the deep marine and the more pronounced sapphire, which is at it fashionable. Beige anda écru shades pervade nearly all styles of new hats and bonnets, and per. haps itis due to the prominence accorded yellow shades that Tuscan straw is again so extensively brought forward. The pretty little cap shape camargo has no bri e pretty little cap shape camargo has no brim except A eotoiiet width fale closely back over the bonnet, without affecting the shape. led straws are an idea of the day, and witu a view to be: pi on bonnets beads are brought out in blac! nd all the fashionable colors which find representa- tion in straw or chip. They are quite small, and are sewn on in rows to correspond with the manuer of sewing the straw or braid. Abonnet of fine black chip is beaded with small écru beads. The crown is high and conical, and the front slightly flaring is filled in with crepe lisse front of the crown is Pec 4 Upon the laced an tip, and an éru ribbon, woven with gold threads, encircles the crown and ‘forms & © bow at sho back. A handsome buckle, sct with ine crystal: ornaments the right side. Black lace strings fastened at the back of the bonnet-are tied in front. ‘A white chip hat, in the Rubens style, bas a mod- erately flaring brim and a low crown. It is faced with garnet velvet, with gilt, and is placed tar buck on the head, # little on the left aide. 0 white Qgtrich tips fall over the brim toward the right side, eet the back is trim: with Lahore damassé, on hich garnet and gold are intermixed. * The very latest Paris production is the ‘‘Répub- lique.” In shape it resembles the Phrygian cap of the first republic, and the arrangement of the silk trimming simulates the peculiar folds of the liberty, cap which it resembles, The wpyer Portion talla over in the same manner, and to ¢ One is only to imitate the headdress ot the Goddess of Liberty on the old American dollar. The effect of this bonuct— for it cannot be called 4 hat—is very good. It is ber coming to the oval face especially, and suited to blondes as well as brunettes. The decided tendency to the Phrygian shape ix noticeable in the bows, tur- bans and yenerul style of hat and bounet trimmings, and is the natural effect of the present stéte of the French politics upon fashion. ‘The pretty silk turbans lately introduced will con- tinue to be worn throughout the spring. A new style of these headdresses closcly imitates tho Phrygien cap, and they are shown in all colors. Some of the pretticst are in striped white and blue, and the spotted strawberry color and white, culled the “Fruit Gatherer.” This last is fastened with an enamelled strawberry flower. Few styles have taken vo quickly, Abroad, however, they are not worn so faueh at the back of the head as our fashionables set em. i ‘The new style of “Pinafore” hat for little girls is bef jaunty and is formed in blue straw, shaded with old yold, by some artistic device known only to the modistes or inventors. RIBBONS AND GARNITURE. In ribbons and materials for trimming the va- Bioty is very great. Elegant bonnets are trimmed with plain satin or satin and gros grain ribbon aud dainty laces put on light airy flowers. Silks and ribbons showing the ‘in stripes, lowers oie i: nitre patterns, small checks and bold plaid to say nothing of various gauzy fabrics, = weil as Bretonne lace, which is prominently rought forward, Striped ribbons are in every quality aud design, from those of medium texture, Gnpretentiously wrought, up to others which unite the greatest skill in combination of shades with the richest and most expersive material. In fancy brocaded ribbons one might as well attempt the ‘eudees “Aieplay of dosigus and ‘colors. Tho C88 8 colors. o cichest have gilt threeda interwoven throughout, and the flowers ure embossed on heavy satin sur- Oftentimes, however, the colors ure subdued, showing intermixtures of such shades as Stores blue, exer, tints, silver grays and cream or light ecru ints. Rose colored and white reversible ribbons, blue and straw color, lilac and French gray, yellow, white aud flesh pink, all of these are still seen. In hat ornaments there are found great changes this spring. On the hats and bonnets without flowers there aro braids of either gold or silver, broader and of @ finer kind then those used for the #ame purpose last year. Golden buttercups, silver straw, gold centred white silk poppics, butterflies of mother-of-pearl, with vari backs and crystal lizards will be worn as ornaments on light coiffures, A new moir ribbon called ‘“mother-of- ‘1. ribbon,” resembles that substance in its hues, its surtace being satiny. NEW SILKS FOR MILLINERY. In these goods Persian and Indian ideas aro con- Stantly prevalent, and the names bestowed aro in keeping. Lahore damassé is one of these. Othors are Afghan mélange, Porsani jardiniére and Yeddo mélange, the last displaying Chinese designs com- bined with narrow stri Checked siiks, in quiet tones of pray, aru callod serge quadriliée, and these tre not unlike the foulard silks used for costumes, A large variety may be seen in # class of openwork called guipures, and the combinations of volors are almost endless, Without exception, how- ever, they are striped. Ecru isa tavorite color and is stylishly united with black, cardinal, blue or old id. Pompadour noire ts a handsome tabric, show- bright flowered stripes, alternating with open- work in black, Camaryo silk is in eeru, Gauzes of various colors and patterns are much used in milli- pery, and here on feral foundation may be seen Pekin stripos chee Povuliar silks and ribbons show the partially faded madras colors, and these are in large plaids or stripes. Guy Roman stripes are a new feature aud wili divide tavor with Scotch and other decided iis, all of which, however, are not bright, for some are in grave tones of gray or brown. AWTLPIOIAL BLOWK IS, jue—cannibal flowers, and one of the most disting\! of velvet, as well also as heavy velvet found in of the season is a anccossion of open chryxanthemu shaded m light to dark in peculiar a <2 ii or ospray is iu sapphire te, leaves appropriate to cpripg are orape, aud, as may — bo re very thin and delicately wrought. i chrysanuthemtms are in very yreat tavor, and often tiinés are placed in heavy rows one after gnothor without a niixture of foliage. Pale yellow roses, of the tint called Maréchal Niel, aro in favor, a id also the lightest coral. Fine specimens of roses wo made of silk, with the leaves apparently just hanging together aud on the verge of talhing part. FLOW BGS OF THE GENUS VIOLA, Sinall flowers aro not excluded.

It is one great carnival of flowers, and plumage, and bright tints softened down to the meliowest Italian sunset shades. LORRAINE, ALSATIAN AND NORMANDY BOWS. Of these bows for the coiffure the Lorraine is the newest, and a still higher bow than the Alsa- tian aud Normandy. It is more effective from the fact that it is narrower, and there is more of the butterfly form, which the Alsatian suggests. The Lorraine is of plain ribbon, two loops of black and two of yellow, the cross piece being of both colors. Itisalso made of pink and black or red and black, the lower “wing’’ of the left side is black and the upper wing of the right, thus giving the parti-col- ored effect. The Alsatian increases in breadth, brocaded rib- bons being the favorites for this huge, double winged butterfly bow, as broad as it is high. ‘The Normandy bow ought to be of black velvet, and that alone; but the eaprice of fashion fancy ing the shape has it now in ribbon of every hue and kind, It is lower and of narrower ribbon than the Alsatian and spreads out on the sides instead of rising a foot stove the brow. Some Normandy bows have long ends, which cross at the back and hang below the braided hair. SEQUEL 10 THE GUNSER MURDER. MISFORTUNES OF THE VICTIM'S WIDOW—HER SECOND HUSBAND, FRIGHTENED BY VISIONS OF A GHOST, SUES FOR DIVORCE, ALLEGING ADULTERY. The murder of John Gunser is again brought to mind by recent. disagreement attendant upon the matrimonial yenture of the victim’s widow. Yester- day, in the Supreme Court, Kings county, before Justice Pratt, motion was made by counsel for Henry Dierking, who is suing his wife for divorce, to strike out a portion of the answer of the defendant relating to his abandonment of her. * ‘The defendant, who is the widow of John Gunser, as stated, is a buxom German woman of comely ap- pearance, and is about forty years of age. Gufser was murdered while in bed with his wife in East Williamsburg, Queens county, L. I., on the night of May 18, 1877. He wasa thrifty German and kept » lager beer saloon, owning his house and other property. About a year and a half after the tragedy Mrs. Gunser was married to a German about wenty- tthree years of age named Henry Dierking. The ceremony was performed on November 18, 1878, three weeks after Dierking, who ia a grocer, had made her acquaintance at the house of Mrs. McLean, with whom the widow lived. It is claimed by his friends that he was under the impression that Mrs. Gunser was worth $20,000, aud that he would hava little more to, do than to take his comfort and case for the rest of his life. He did not know at the time, it is said, of her former husbund’s fate. The period. usually allotted for the honeymoon was not per- mitted to pass before he took his det abruptly from his bride. ‘This proceeding on his part is said to have been accelerated by reason of certain nocturnal visitations while roaming in the realms of dreamland, On the morning of December 1, 1874, thirteen days after the wedding, he rose. kissed his wife and her children and left the house, promising to that day. He never returned again. She called on her mother-in-law, who turned her out and said that Henry should never live with her again. Two or three days after his disappearance she received the following letter in the handwriting of ‘the missing idegroom :— Deceanun 2, 1878, My Fatexp—I takes pon to write you a fow lings, It ie for the last time.

THE DIVORCE POOCKEDINGS.. ‘The letter, ‘which is translated from the German language, is not signed by Dierking. Shortly after the receipt of the letter she was served by Messrs. Semler and Lowrie, counsel for her hus- band, with a summons and complaiat in divorce pro- cevdin, institated against her. The complaint alleg: that she committed adultery in 1878 with » person unknown to the complainant, and that on each and every day of the month of November of the saino year she committed adultery with various persons ;’ that on December 17 she committed a similar offence with Conrad Freelling and at different times in that month; also that the offence was repeated in Janus 1879. The complaint is sworn to bert tel Atew 3 after tho Lge of the complaint 5 Dierking, the defendant, who in her answer alleges abandonment and asks for a limited di- vorce, sots forth that she was requested to go to Union Hill, N. J., by a deputy sheriff, where she called with a female friend at the house of. Carl P. Schme » where she met Dier- king. There her hus! represented to her that it was necessary for her to sign paper to «nable him to collect some mouey trom his uncle, who lives in Wilhamaburg. She signed the paper and returned to her home, after which she informed her counsel, Messrs, Kaugleman and Brosbeck. Subsequently the Deputy Sheriff visited the counsel and showed them the paperin question, which proved to be articles of ne} . Counsel, who took the paper, said that ax it was obtained under coecion it was, therefore, invalidated, Dierking was urrested two weeks ago for abandonment, and was arraigned before Justice lina of Newton, but was discharged on March li. On hearing the motion of counsel yesterday Jus- tice Pratt took the papers and rese! his decision, PROBABLE HOMICIDE. Coroner John R. Wiggins, of Hoboken, was yester- day notified to take the ante-mortem statement of Charles E. Clausen, who was reported to be dying at his residence, in Kossuth street, Union Hill, from the effects of injuries received on Wednesday at the hands of Emil Dingle. Both men are conductors in the employ of the North Hudson County Railway, and, with their families, occupy rooms in the same dwelling house. There have n frequent quar- rols Jate between both families, because it is alleged on Dingie’s part that Clausen’ had insulted Mrs. Dingle, and on Clausen’s part the quarrels are said to have ensued because ot Dingle’s tardiness in paying his rent. On Wednesday evening both men eoame engaged in a fight at the car stables, aud Clausen after the fight at so ill that he was pi in . Dr. summoned, found him in d knowing that he had alwa; te health considered his condition er Wiggins found the man yesterday barely able to speak, and upon tl tatement of Dr. Moher that he could not live, deemed it prudent to take his ante-mortem statement, In it he says Dingle struck him two blows, one on the nose and one under the left eye, which felled him to the ground. Coroner Wixgins said Clausen had long been suffering trom @ complication of diseases, and that the assault caused such a shock to his entire system us would probably hasten his death. Dingle had not been Canal up to lust night. went home, A BENEDICT’S FOLLY. HOW THE FATHER OF A LARGE FAMILY ELOPED WITH A YOUNG GIRL AND WHAT CAME OF IT, In @ modest little shoe store at No. 111 Stanton street, Detectives Williamson and McNaught yester- day discovered a couple living happily together for whom the ofiicers of the law have becn some time looking. They were Elias Reynolds and Aunie Pow- ell, who, on January 29, eloped from their homes in in Peekskill, N. Y. Reynolds was a married man and the father of nine children, Ho had a shoe business on the main streot of the town and seemed to be thriving when he chanced to meet Annic. She was a young girl of nineteen, who resided with her parents close by, and who from time to time was thrown in tho way of the prosperous shoemaker. In Reynolds’ household there was but little piavidity, a8 his wife suspected his devotion and mado him feel rather unpleasantly her resentment In this way Elias came to take a deep in- terest in Powell — girl. She received his attentions, and soon Reynold: the eveuing of the 2th of January, while Mrs. Rey- nolds, after « family quarrel, was sitting in high her numerous eny, with what mor he hi in ket, 8 eket, mt Powell and: srranged for hn fmuiediate departure. She gathered her clothing, and that night with Reynolds drove ont of Poekskill in # sivigh from wiich they were trausterred at Sing Sing to a New York train. On reaching this city they hired the little shop im Stanton street and began lite ancw as man and wite, Everything had qono on quietly for a couple ‘of months, when an intruder interrupte this pleasant state of affairs, It was Detective Williamson who, under the pretext of having his boot stretched, en- tered Reynolds’ shop on Friday and, trom the de- scription he had with him, identified the two fayi- tives, Yesturday he and Detective MeNaught, armod with # warrant from Judge Couch, of Peekskill, swooped down upon the couple and carried off the Benedict Lothario, Reynolds was given into the custody of a Peekskill officer, who took him thither yout to answer @ charge of abandonment. CHARITY'S NOBLE WORK. AN EATING AND LODGING HOUSE TO BE ERECTED YOR THE POOR AND UNFORTUNATE RETURNING FROM THE HOSPITALS AND PRISONS. ‘The Ladies’ Bible and Fruit Mission is erecting nearly opposite the gates of Bellevue Hospital, on Fast Twenty-sixth strect, a building fifty feet by seventy fect and three stories high, Their object is to aid the 50,000 unfortunates discharged yearly from the islands xt the foot of Twenty-sixth street, especially the convalescent and almost helpless class. It will be used mainly as a place where this worse than homeless body of men and women may be induced to stop, their immediate needs be discovered, and, as tar as practicable, supplied, employment or perhaps a safe home found, and where, at least, for a few cents such @ sufficiency of nourishing and palatable food can be obtained as will tempt them from the groggeries abounding in the | neighborhood, into which ninety per cent would go on landing if uo offort is brought to bear on them for good. A hall for lec tures or services, reading rooms and lodging rooms, will occupy the upper stories.of the house, The building will cost over $13,000; about $6,000 has been received, Between $7,000 and $8,000 are needed to comptete the work; and un appeal for aid hus been circulated. ‘The benevolent will, no doubt, consider it a worthy object of their efforts, ‘The in- stitution, it is believed, will do much’to save a large annual sum now paid out by the taxpayers in main- taining this class of paupers and criminals, Should the latter be given an opportunity of doing well for themselves no doubt a great benefit would be cou- ferred on the community. ‘The lower part of the building will be used as a coffee house, where coffee or sandwiches may be ob- tained for a few cents. The ladies propose to have agents stationed at the Bellevue dock where the steamer lands that brings back all those cured in the hospitals or discharged from the prisons. They will, try and induce them to stop at the coffee house, will take their names aud seo if they can find employ- meut for chem. There will also be a different room where the 500 young medical students who pass by there everyday can stop and get lanch cheaper and Detter thin they can at ay. liquor suloon, ‘Any one passing by will be provided with « good cheap meal, and the neighbors also can send in for what they desire. Thus the coffee house promises to become a great convenience to those living in the vicinity, No regard will be had to any profit in the matter, it being expected. that the yearly expenses ot the institution can be casily met by voluntary contributions. From their frequent visits to the hospitals and other institutions the ladies expect to reclaim many of the unfortunates by their personal influence. On one of the upper floors will be cleven rooms, ‘and four-on the other; but at present the idea of turning them all into lodging rooms has not been considered, There are two vacant lots on either side of the proposed building, and these will be turned into pleasant gardens by Mrs. William Osborn, thus giving the place an air of beauty. Last year $1,806 were raised, with which the lots were excavated, taxes and ground rent paid and the building begun. It is now fairly under way, but more help is absolutely needed to finish it. ‘The Commissioners of Charities and Correction havo stated that ‘50,000 persons are annually disc! from the institutions under their care, and deposited at the foot of Twenty-sixth street, East-River. A large proportion of these are convalescents from the hospitals, exhausted by disease and suffering, and requiring a stimulating nourishment of some kind. Upon the three first squares there are between thirty and forty liquor saloons, which at almost every step offer an attrac- tion totally beyond the power of these poor creatures to resist.’ Donations may be sent to either of the following gentlemen :—Mr, William F. Mott, No. 83 Irving lace; Rev. Dr. Dyor, No. 3 Bible House; Rey iby, No. 116 Kast Nineteenth street; Mr. D. den Murray, No. 62 South street; Mr. James Talcott, No. 108 Franklin street; Mr. T. P.

Martyn Paine The Civil Rights act of 1875 bids fair now to be passed upon in the United States courts of this dis- trict, and for the tirst time, for while one or two suits have been threatened under its provisions, a compromise has always hitherto been effected and the matter has never been brought into court. The act of March 1, 1875, in its preamble, “recognizes the equality of all citizens before the law and holds that tis the duty of the goverpment in its dealings with the people to mete out equal and exact justice to all, of whatever nativity, race, color or persuasion, re- ligious or political, and to enact great fundamental principles into law.” Further sections of the act provide that all persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall be entitled to full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of inns and public conveyances on land and water. It is under this law that Charles M. Cooper, a colored barber of this city, has brought a suit in the United States District Court against the New Haven Steamboat Company for ejecting him from the dining room of the steamer Continental, as well as from the cabin of the boat,on February 14 last, after he had taken @ first class passuge from New Haven to this city. Cooper's story is that upon that when fecling very unwell, and at the same time hungry, soon atter the Continental left her whart at New Haven, when the gong sounded, he went into the saloon and took w seat. He ordered of the colored waiter a plate of soup. The waiter took the order, but after # moment Gurdon 8. Coit, the steward, came and told him that colored people were uot allowed to sit at the first table on that boat and that he would have to yo out. He refused, claiming that as he had bought @ first class ticket lie was entitled to all the privileges of a first class passenger. Assistance was called for, and he was, as he alleges, dragged from the saloon and hus- tied to the stern of the boat, where he was literally imprisoned for several hours in the open air wichout even his hat. All negotiations tending to a compro- mise in this case have failed, and suit was brought yesterday through Messrs, Alexander & Ash. Dam- ages are claimed in the sum of $500 for ejectment trom the dining room and $500 for exclusion from the cabin, and this amount is allowed by the statuie upon proving of the facts claimed, though the jury may assess the damages at a higher figure, as wus done in a recent triai in Boston, where a colored clergyman recovered $8,000 damages for the ejection of himself and family froma promanent hotel in that city. The same statute admits of criminal prosecution in this connection, making any infringement a misdencanor punishable by # fine uot exceeding $1,000 and imprisonment not less than ayear. The matter came up yesterday before Judge Choate, in the Unitea States District Court, upon a motion made by C. P. L. Butler, also of counsel for the plaintiff, to attach the property of the steamboat company. Upon his argument a writ of attachment was granted against the steamer Continental and served. It was agreed that the necessary bouds in the case should be filed to-morrow morning. DR. MARTYN PAINE'S ESTATE. In the suit of John C. Draper and others against the President and Fellows of Barvard College, tried before Judge Van Vorst, at Special Term of the Su- preme Court, decision was given yosterday. ‘The ac- tion, as will be remembered, was brought by the ex- ecutors of the late Dr. Martyn Paine, who dicd in November, 1477, to test the validity ot his will, which instrument was drawn in April, 1874, and gaye his real and personal estate to the officers of the col- lege, to be held in trust, the income to be devoted to the establishment of scholarships and payments of prizes. It was claimed i the heirs of Dr. Paine that the bequest was in violation of a statute of this State against perpetuitics and accuinulations. Judge Van Vorst decides that it is incumbent upon the court of Massachusetts to upon the question as to the vulidity of the directions and conditions imposed by the testator, the statutes of this State, forbidding the tying up of property for more than two lives, having, a8 he holds, no ap- plication to trusts to be performed in another State, they being enacted in consideration of local policy and having no extra territorial effect. The bequest ot personal property, he holds, is therefore valid. He also decides that the devise of real estate is void, being in violation of a statute of this State providi) that no decree to a corporation shall be,valid uule: such corporation is specially authorized’ by its char- ter to take by devise. He holds that the fact that the college, by the laws of Massachusetts, is allowed to take by devise real estate, has no application to this case.

To rae Eprror or THE Henatp:— Fifty-second street, between Ninth and Tenth ave- nnes, has not been cleaned since last fall, It is in such a condition that some of the residents have had to clean in front of their premises and have the mud and rubbish taken away at their own Lr ag saad Manca 20, 1879, .

HEALTH EXCURSION SUGGESTED, To rae Eprror or tHe HERALD: — If our indisposed Police Commissioners want to improve their health they should ask the Mayor's permission tor a sailing voyage in a mud scow, through West Thirty-ninth street, from Eighth ave- nue to North River, where they could enjoy clear sailing througu three feet of mud and filth. FOR MAYOR COOPER, To rue Eprrox or THE HERaLp:— If there is not something done very soon to re- move the filth that has been accumulating all winter in Seventy-fourth street, between Second aud Third avenues, I fear that some dreadful pestilence will soon break out in that neighborhood, The upper side of the street has boen made adumping ground for all kinds of roftuse, so that pedestrians cannot use the sidewalk. kA. B. Magcu 21, 1879. A VACANT LOT NUISANCE, To THE Eprror or THE HeraLp:— Iam a tenant of the only building that covers part of the otherwise vacant lot on Third avenue, be- tween Eighty-niuth and Nintieth streets. The ot east and south of that building is used as dumping ground for ashes, garbage, &c., by any one that chooses to so. This, with shameless nuisances committed in broad daylight by all kinds of vagrants, filis the air with pestileutial vapors. Myself and neighbors experienced this to be only too trne last summer. Is there no authority in this great city to insure its citizens’ health more effectively? A SUFFERER. UNFOUNDED COMPLAINTS, New Yorx, March 22, 1879, To tne Eprror or THE HenaLp:— A complaint was made in your able journal on Monday last that the children of the Hebrew Orphan Asylum had not seen their friends and relatives since June, 1878. This statement is entirely without truth. With the exception of the two hot sumer months, July and August, there were the usual monthly visiting days on September 22, on Novem- ber 3, and on December 1. In consequence of some cases of scarlet fever which broke out toward the middle of December no one was admitted into our asylum during the months of Jan- uary and February, 187); however, the next visiting day’ will take place on Sunday week, March 30, ‘An allusion was ‘made by complainant to our “euting.” Ican assure you that the food we give to our children is good, plain and nourishing, though of course, we neither take our “bill of fare” from the culinary classics of Delmonico’s, nor from the kitchen style of the late Marquis of Talleyrand, Respectfully yours, Dr. H. BAAR, Superintendent. VANDERBILT “STRUCK” JURY.
