Reports from sources which call them. selves well informed announce that the silk hat is coming in again. It went inla retiroment during the war, and. I daremy it has required careful treatment with brush and pad and silken handkerchief to prepare anew for out-door exhibition. The silk hat is the terror of black-and-whit artists, who find, it difficult to draw, and it is on no friendly terms with the sculp that no matter how stormy the day, rarely blows off, and when one remember the acute insanity which takes possession Thu, of a man who loses his hat in a public highway, this virtue cannot be over-Fri estimated.

A Lady speaker once declared that to be well dressed gave her a comfort which religion eduld never afford, this is a point to be debated by the Rev. F. B.
