HATS AXDTHEIK HISTORY. STOKIES OF HEAD COVERINGS IN TIMES PAST. The Tall “Beaver” that Invaded Europe from America—lmportant Parts that Hats have Taken in Political History. From the Boston Globe. When it becomes necessary for a man to buy anew straw hat he puts it off as long as possible. Then he goes to his hatter, takes the first hat that is given him, tries it on, says it’s too small, and after the salesman has passed out one a size larger and declared it just a fit, he wears it home. He will be told by his wife that it is the most unbe coming thing she ever saw on his head. But in a few days she becomes used to see ing it and forgets that she has ever criticised it. When autumn comes, and he buys a hat for the winter, she will similarly criticise that An article that should endeaver to speak of the various fashions of hats worn by women would fill even the twenty-paged Globe. Over four centuries ago, in Chau cer's time, women wore hats, he tells us, As broad as is a buckler or a targe. Many a time has the style changed since, sometimes narrow, then broad again, high crown, low crown, no crown at all. Mean while, men’s headgear underwent various changes, until at last the cylindrical-shaped hat came in, apparently to'stay. One of the first accounts of fashions in dress is in the Bible, where a description is given of the casting of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego into the fiery furnace. “These men were bound in their coats, their hosen and their hats and their other garments,” and this is probably the first mention of hats in sacred or profame history. The hat was an article of wearing apparel that it ttook many centuries to introduce into Europe, the East being far ahead in respect to this fashion—indeed, the return ing crusaders are said to have brought the hat to Europe. In the early part of the sixteenth century hats began to be made in England, and by Queen Elizabeth's time they had superseded caps and softer headgear. Before that they had Jong been imported from Fleming. Chau cer, whost-'‘Canterbury Tales” are a true re flection of the manners and FASHIONS OF TIIE TIME, toils us that the merchant wore “on his head a Flemish heaver hat," while the gay young yeoman in the friar’s tale had An hat upon his head with fringes black. When once the English manufacturers had learned the secret of making hats, however, they drove out their foreign competitors, so that Haywood, a poet of Elizabeth’s reign, gayly sings; The Spaniard’s constant to his block, The French inconstant ever: But of all felts that may be felt, Give me your English beaver. ♦ The “English beaver” is described by a sarcastic writer of the period, as sharp in the orown like the shaft of a steeple, and standing a quarter of a yard above the crown of their heads, some more, some less, according to fancy. Or the hat is flat and broad in the crown like the battlements of a house—some black, some white, some russet, some red, some greea, some yellow, never with one color or fashion two months at an end. And so common a thing is it that every serviug men, countryman and other, even all indifferently, do wear these hats. The “serving man and countrymen,” however, even after hats became common, continued for some time to wear the caps and bonnets to which they had been accus tomed. Elizabeth could cot compel all her subjects trt wear hats, but she endeavored to make the Irish do so. The Irish are said to have worn their hair so matted over their heads that it could even turn a sword edgo and formed a projection over the face something like a shaggy peat house. This the queen undertook to change. But the English colonists who had settled in Ireland wore hats; and fearful of being mistaken for these people, the natives refused to change their headgear. The queen was enraged; edict after edict was issued, and the shears of the officers of the law were kept busy snipping the hair from the heads of those who would not wear hats. Charles T. found high-crowned hats the fashion, worn by women as well as men, but before the second Charles came to the throne the style began to change The rim became broad, shading the face rather too much for comfort, especially if the felt were a little worn. Then the brim would hang down, in which condition the hat received the name of “slouched.” When one side of this brim was turned up it was called “cocking” it, and every cavalier would cock his hat in the Style set by some great nobleman. Later two sides of the brim were turned up, until in the latter part of the seventeenth century' the third side was added to the other two and a complete “cocked” hut was formed. The Puritan pulpit savagely attacked the broad brim, the jewelled clasp and “ye vil lainous invention and gross impiety of ye steeple crown.” Yet, m a few years the steeple crown was the mark and sign of the Puritans themselves. This style was brought over to America bv the Pilgrims. Perhaps the phrase “shootthe hat” was derived from the Indians, who used them for targets. The same kind of hat, a trifle more tapering, was worn by EVERY FIRST-CLASS WITCH, and was as imlispensible as her broomstick or black oat. The cocked hat was popular for several generations. It was the favorite style with Voltaire,Frederick the Grout and Napoleon, although long before the latter became famous it had t>een superseded—except in the army—by the hideous, tall, tapering chimney-pot, a fashion which, curiously enough, was carried to France from Amer ica. The bravo young Frenchmen who, un der Lafayette and Rociiambeau, helped us during the Revolution, carried tins style with them on their return. It was seized upon by the French as having prestige of liberty and equality, and immediately be came popular. Frauklin always attracted a crowd when he appeared in the str<-cts of Paris wearing this hat, just as Kossuth, whose hat Americans adopted, was stared at here. When beaver skins becains scarce, for the demand from Euroge was ononnous, so that American trappers and Indimis re ceived large prices for their furs, substitute* w cre tried; rabbit skins were used and thou cat skins. The horrible notion prevailed that, in order to keep the gloss on the latter, the poor animals must be skinned "live, and there being no luw against it this cruel practice was common in England. The silk hat at last supplanted the beaver, al though tho fur dealers fought aguinst, it as long as possible, and tho poor hunters J'nd Indians on our northern borders doubt less cursed tho (lay when the fushion changed. Derby*, wide awakes, kossuths and vari ous otuor styles have como in sinco, but still THE SILK HAT REMAINS the hat that must be worn on all occasions of importance. No son of Erin would appear in u proceesiondn honor of Ireland's patron saint in anything short of the well-brushed beaver," pierbape sacredly reserved for such occasions. Hals involve a number of questions of so cial etiquette and of morals. One of tho deadliest insults a man can give another is to knock off his hat. It arouses tho most violent jiuskloiis, and yet the voluntary re moval of h hat by the wearer gives an op |s>rtunity for the display of deference to “xe or Iteauty, and argues a degree of refine ment. Dickens, In “Our Mutual Friend," makes 11 Kreat scene of Hi las Wogg entering the 101 mi of Mr. llofllii with his hot on ana liav *ng it hurled out of tho window by Roke ciuith. It is related of one the fierce old < <cam of Muscovy that he once held a recep tion for the ambassadors of the differeut na tions which were represented at his court. At this time Venice was rich and power ful, and her arrogant ambassador, to show his superiority over the others, went into the Czar's presence wearing his hat. The savage Muscovite was so enraged at this lack of courtesy that he called nis attendants and had the liat nailed to the head of the luckless Venetian. So much, indeed, is thought to be ex pressed bv the wearing or not of the hat that the English House of Commons finds no better way to show its superiority than bv allowing its members to retain 'their hats while in session a privilege probably unique among the groat legislative assmblies of the world, and which is not allowed in the House of Lords. This matter was well illustrated ill Franco in 1789 at tho convention of tho States General, at which Louis XVI. presided. At the first meeting THE KING REMAINED COVERED, according to custom: the nobit's also did not remove their hats. Then the King saw, to his amazement, that the “third esiate,” the representatives of the people, remained cov •J'ed also. It is not too much to say that the King’s simple action of removing his hat, an example immediately followed by all the others, by preserving peace at the mo ment postponed although for only a short period, the terrible revolution which follow ed. For another historical story of the hat we have that tradition which so stirs the blood of every schoolboy, of the haughty tyrant Gesler, his hat bn the j>ole in the market place, and the humble Tell who re fused to bow to it. Caricaturists have always represented Uncle Sam-as wearing a tall white beaver hat—real beaver, not silk. At a meeting of the creditors of a defunct grocer not many years ago, it was reported that the bankrupt’s books had not been properly kept, in proof of which it was shown that one customer, whose name and residence were unknown to the grocer, had bought a large amount of goods, which were always charged to “the man with the white hat.” Many old white hats aj’o sacredly pre served in English families as mementoes of tho severe political battles that took place years ago before the passage of the reform bill, when the white hat was the badge of the Radicals and the appearance of one at the political meetings of their opponents was the signal for a disturbance. Our col lege boys Doust many' trophies of similar character, for a “hat rush" is considered great sport in every well-regulated college, and woo to the unlucky freshman who first wears a silk hat, unless ho is well able to de fend it. The hat often serves as a receptacle for papers for business men, and travelers often use it to hold their tickets. A sharp but penniless passenger on a Western bound express train had no ticket, and when he saw the conductor coming ho leaned out of the window ami began to con template the scenery, The conductor spoke to him, and, getting no reply, shook him by the shoulder, crying: “Ticket! ticket, please.” Down fell the traveler s hat, and in another instant it had been whisked across the plains by the winds. The hatless passenger indignantly demanded why his hat had been knocked off, and how could he pay his fare when his ticket was in tho hatband? The unsuspicious conductor said no more about a ticket, and be.fore the train reached its destination he hat given a hat from his own wardrobe to the honest traveler. A DOG WORTH HAVING. He Has Saved Four Lives and Can Carry a Full Beer Glass. From the yew York World. Capt. Jack Schmidt, a boat-builder of Tompkinsville, S. 1., is the owner of one of the most knowing dogs in this country. The dog is a cross between a St. Bernard and Siberian bloodhound, and stands 3 feet high, and measures from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail 5 feet 10 inches. His name is Sailor. He is about 8 years old. During the seven years that Capt. Schmidt has had Sailor the dog has rescured from drowning four persons. The Inst one that he rescued was a tramp who had crept into a boat tied to the wharf for a night's sleep and had fallen into the water. Capt. Schmidt heard the dog barking, and going down to the wharf saw the man in the bay with the dog holding his head above the water. Whenever a cat-boat race occurs in which Capt. Schmidt enters a boat Sailor is taken along on the boat to act as a part of the crew. He perfectly understands every thing said to him, and the way he throws the sund-bag by which the boats are bal lasted from side to side, when told to do so, is marvelous. He will take hold of the rope which hoists the jib in place, running the full length of the boat, hoists the sail. When told to go to the shop for a tool he always brings back the one that is needed. A few' days ago, as a lady and child were driving past the boat shop in a dog-cart, the horse attached to the cart became fright ened at a locomotive which was passing and started to run away. The horse had at tained a fairly good speed, when Capt. “.Take” told Sailor to catch the horse. Run ning after the horse Sailor soon caught up to him, and jumping at the horse’s hoad he got part of the bridle in his mouth, and pull ing tho horse’s head to the ground be soon stopped him. The dog frequently takes Capt. Schmidt’s horse in swimming. Schmidt is the owner of a saloon with a garden attached at Tompkinsville. Sailor whenever he secs an empty glass lying oil the tables in the gar den, takes it in his mouth and carries it the bar without being told to do so. He can also carry a glass full of liquor in his mouth. Capt. Schmidt has had numerous offers for the purchase of the dog, but he refuses to part with him. He says that if anybody can take Sailor away from him he is wel come to him. A few months ago Sailor was stolen, but returned home after a week’s absence. AN ARKANSAB CURIOSITY. Seven-Weeks-Old Pickaninny With Plenty of Gab. Little Rock Special to St. Tjouit Republican, Arkansas produce* another curiosity in the shape of a seven-weeks-old liaby with the power of articulate speech. Yesterday the fact was learned that on Center street, this city, there was a phenomena in the way of a child less than seven weeks old that can talk sufficiently intelligible to be understixxl. It is the chilil of colored people named Scott, who are highly respectable persons. Mm. Scott is the mother of twelve children not unlike other children, but before tho present pickaninny was three days old, while laying on the bed, it said, “Tuke the cover off,” and such words as “pa,” “mu,” “get out and let mo alone,” are spoken with the correct ness of a 8-year-old child. From the first the talking liaby created a sensation among the colored jxoplo of the city, but nothing was thought of it until to-night, when sev eral reputable citizens, accompanied by the licpuhlicAin correspondent, visited the house and tested the curiosity, for such it is. When four days old the child's mother was started with “Bay, where is mamma?” and to-night, when the visitors entered the room where it was sleeping, the child yelled out: “Put out the light." Other equally astonishing expressions wore made, and it is truly a wonder. The subject will I>e investigated by the Arkansas Medical Collego. Saving tho Lawyers. “The first thing wo do, let’s kill all the lawyem.’’ This Is rather a bloodthirsty proposition which we modify by offering to cure this worthy class of people. Most of them suffer (In common with nearly all others oi sedentary habits) from the Injuri ous effects of dyspepsia, indigestion, piles loss of ap)wtito and other ailments caused bv a roust 1 1 sited habit of the body. Dr. Fierce's “Pleasant Purgative Pellets" eradi cates all these disorders in promutly remov ing the cause thereof, and indues a rare degree of comfort and health, THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1887. LOST. Only an Emigrant Who Had Wander ed from Camp—A Thrilling Story of the Great American Prairie. M Quad in the Detroit FYre Press. While yet two miles away we saw the vul tures hovering over the spot, flying low and in narrow circles—anxious to begin their feast, but evidently frightened at our ap proach. “A dead body—buffalo, deer or perhaps a horse," said tho hunter-guide as each man involuntarily drew rein. The crew of a ship that sails the bound less ocean catch eagerly at floating spar or wreckage. On the great plains of tho West one catches as eagerly at sight of a wounded horse dragging himself along—at the trail left by a wagon—at the gathering of the vultures. In each incident is a mystery— something to increase the awe which con stantly burdens him —something to further increase the anxiety which he can never shake off. Start at the line of Dakota and the Do minion of Canada and you can find a stretch of plain extending south to the southern limits of New Mexiuo —one thou sand miles. A thousand miles of broken ground, in terspersod with mountain ranges—cut through by rivers—relieved once in a while by a spot of prairie which God seems to have planted there to prevent the horrible monotony from driving men crazy. Ride over the prairies and the odor of one hundred different flowers fill your nostrils. Tho fat hare leave their forms begruding ly. The bee and the humming-bird fly with you. There is a carpet of rich, sweet,, grass which (leadens the sound of every hoof-bent.. The influence is peaceful. Ride over the plains and tho sight of the sage-brush and mongrel cacti irritate mid annoy. The rattlesnake crawls leisurely out of your path, or coils himself in a vicious way and holds the road. Ever}' hoof beat sends out an echo. In its mighty wrath nature upheaved the earth into swells and ridges. You are over shut in; you are looking for the beyond. Each ridge is the same—there is still another beyond it. You may look for blossom or flower, or gentle vine—but the plains are accursed. And as we come nearer, the vultures cry out in their harsh voices anil rise higher, and the feeling of mystery deepens. Not a word is spoken in the bund. Each horse pricks up his oars and seems to feel the ex citement. A buffalo, wounded to death by bullet or arrow, may have dragged itself into this deserted land to die. Some horse, abandoned by soldier or emigrant, may have wandered about in his loneliness until he reached this place of despair. We shall soon know. Ah! here it is! Lying on the broad of his back on the sterile earth is the corpse of a man. He has been dead for a day. One ham! rests beside him, the other clutches a rifle. His hat lies a few feet away, and the light breeze toys with his black hair. In the centre of the forehead is a great black spot, looking all the blacker for the pallor of his face, and in the centre of this spot is a bullet-hole. We sit on oqr horses in a circle about the body for a long minute, and then tho guide drops to tho ground for a closer examination. “Shot himself!” he whispers after a few seconds. “It is some emigrant who wan dered from the camp and got lest!” Then every thing rose Is-tore each man as a vision. A dozen white-topped wagons creeping across this horrible country to ward a pass in the Rockies. The men and women and children must have Leon ap palled at the ruggodnrssami sterility—at the loneliness —at the awe which they could not shake off. Who can tell why this man sep arated himself from his friends? He may have gone a little way in hopes of finding game—gone ahead to look for water—be came half-crazed over the horrible monotony and wandered away. Once he was hidden from the wagons by the earthly billows he was doomed. He looked about him in a startled way ns he realized that he was nl 1 nione, and he could hear his own heart beats. He had come over that swell. No—over that. No, again—the sun was at his back as he left the wagons, and he had walked as straight as an arrow. Ho had but to climb the earthen billow to see them again. Ave! his limbs tremble as he starts off, and there is a quiver to his lip which he can not repress. lie is right, but —! He breaks into a run up the slope—he reaches the crest and looks around,him. No wagons! Perhaps he can sec them from the next? He must have come further than he thought for. With the pallor of fear showing through tho sunbrown on his face he runs swiftly to the crest of the next slope. No wagons! “My God! I am lost!” Aye! lost—doomed! Fear has sent him in the wrong direction. His friends arc not two miles away, but they might as well be a hundred. The lost never sit down to re flect or to seek to pick up their own trail. They rush from spot to spot or walk in cir cles —hope filling their hearts at one moment —blank despair the next. Lost on the plains! The sailor floating on a spar in mid-Atlantic may hope for rescue; this man can not hope. The sailor has the sight of the ocean birds —the knowledge that sliiyis sail to and fro from every compass point. The emigrant has the sight of rock and bush and Creeping reptiles. High above him are the vultures. Human lieiugs wan der here only when lost lilt** himself. And he goes on and on, sometimes run ning in wild affright, sometimes falling to earth in his weariness. How many days? God alone counted thorn. How many nights? Uod alone knows that. And such days! Hope, despair, desperation. Hun gering, thirsting, hoping, despairing—na ture was pitiful when it brought the night. And such nights! The darkness increased its terror. Each sound startled him into new terror. Tho hours seemed ages. Na ture was pitiful when it brought another day. * * * * * * * And so it came to this; Tortured, har assed and suffering—giving up his last hope of rescue—knowing that the end must come, he shortened his hours and found peace in death. It were better thus. Decline of Pauperism in England. Pro in the London Timet. A Parliamentary paper lias been issued containing a return for comparative month ly statements of the number of paupers of all classes (except lunatics in asylums and vagrants) in receipt of relief in England and Wales on the last day of every week in each month of the several years froni 1857 to 1887, both inclusive, together with a statement of the number oi paupers, distin guishing tho number of adult able-bodied jminxirs. relieved on the Ist day of January, IKSI, and a similar statement on the I t day of July. The return complete* the monthly comparative statement for the quarter ended at midsummer. 1 'BS. and shows that for the last thirty-one years in almost every year a continuous decrease has token place in the number of paupers week by week through out the whole quarter, the exceptions to this rule being few and unimportant. Tho ta bles show that the number of paupers in every 1,000 of the population was 'it'-.'.', nl the end of April lust, 25.1 lat the end of May, and 25..8 at the end of June. From the last, day of the first week to the last day of the fourth week of June the number oi lumpers in receipts of indoor relief decreased from 175.4T;t to 171,741), und the numlxir receiving outdoor reli*t for tile same lie nod decreased from 5117,(125 to 542,771, the total decrease being in the first week, I,SWS, and in the fourth week 4,158. in the metropolis the number of fx-rsous relieved in tho month of June, 1887. was largor than it was in the same month in ID of the :) previous years. These 11) years were the 12 years from 1875 to 1888, and the 7 years from 1858 to I MU.

One house in Savannah to sell Pianos and Organs to the value of $24.85',) in one. month, and that tho hottest in millions of years. Yes, sir, or mam, as t,he case may be, it is a positive fact, without the slightest exaggeration. Our sales book shows the figures, and is open for the insjxjctlon of any who question the above statement. But July was one of Savannah's dull months, and besides it was slightly hot. How could such a trade be gotten up? It don't look reasonable. Nevertheless it is a fact, and the only ex plunation is that when old Savannah gets drowsy we wake up and get in ojr work. Hence dull times are something that we know very little about. To explain further we will say that the prime cause for the above named large July sales was our CLOSING OUT SALE of nmv and nearly new Pianos and Organs. Wo really had mngnln eent bargains, we advertised them largely, the public believed our assertions, took us at our word, and BOUGHT, BOUGHT, BOUGHT, uutil $24,850 sales were rolled up. This sale still continues. Only half the stock has been sold. There's enough to go round, and we expect to roll up $80,(X)0 sales for August, judging from the way it opens. Doubtless few. if any, f these rare bargains cau Im had after October Ist, as our stock of almost new and prime second hand Instruments will by that date be closed out almost com pletely. Come* this month, and quickly. Each day the selection becomes smaller. Remember, un usually easy terms on this stock. RENTED UNTIL PAID FOR. LUDDEN & BATES SOUTHERN MUSIC HOUSF. PORTRAITS.
