Miss Anthony's Bonnet

Misa Anthony made her triumphal march through Michigan in a bonnet so onstructed and bedecked aa to suggest a eyival of some of the lost arts. Her bief mortification was experienced at .alamazoo, where she was mistaken by ie principal part of the population tor a wies bell-ringer. - Brvuklyn Argm. No more of these ridiculoua jokes, if you please. Miss Antony's bonnet is not a bonnet, but one of the latest styles of fall hat- the kind which turns up at the side and is lowered in front so as to hide the nose. We do hope that the time will speedily come when it will not be neces sary to defend out distinguished fellowcitizens from the jibes and falsehoods of a venal, corrupt, bankrupt and mendacious press. - Eochester Democrat. Previous to the elections the Republican papers were all predictinghard times throughout the country in oase the result should be favorable to the Deruocracy. How niuch truth there was in thuir predictions may bo seen by the following froin the New York Graphic, an independent paper : There is a very great iraprovament in the financial coudition of the country since the election. Public confidenoe has recovered. Stock and securities have teadily advanced, and there is a general disposition to enter into new business undertakings, and to relax the system of cautious restraints which has prevented the expansión of business.
