General Sherman's official salary, it is stated, amounts to about S1S.UU0 s ya, inclusive of the usual commuta tion for supplies. He lives, at present at the Ebbitt House, in Washing on. He is said to eniov Washincton caveties greatly, and to feel aggrieved when there is not to use his own words "some ort of a fandango" every evening. 1 ' o About Bonnets. "There's never so much pleasure i' wearing a bonnet the second year, espe cially when the crowns are so chancy, never two summers alike," says Mrs. Tullirer to Mrs. Pullet in the Mill on the Floss, in that admirable scene where the versatile genius of the writer depicts the family conclave on the bonnet; and the remark holds good now, for the capote of last year cannot he made to tide over another winter; the soft crown, the Normandy and the plaited to the stiff plain one, which Virot and other French milliners have adopted; and now plain satin bonnets of a dull shade of red of the most antiquated make are fin ished with very little trimming, and are among the most sylish for winter wear, but they are severely plain. Another style is adapted by a celeb rated French house the "Maison Felix" for receptions or full dress is nothing but a double wreath of flowers; these are large double pansies of velvet, or Marshal Ney roses, or the General Jacquiminot rose, or some other large flowers arranged in a double wreath on a wire band, and this forms the hat, the back being composed of tulle veils of color, or of black or white, which hang almost to the waist. This style is known as the "St. Felix" and is very elegant. A modification of this had been shown here among this season's bonnets; it has a front of tulle, lace, flowers and rib bons, and the crown is left open to show the comb. White bonnets are much worn for dress occasions, and are of plush, clouded satin, terry or uncut velvet and satin; white feathers and whito iearl ornaments are used with white flowers for trimmings. Marie de Medicis and Marie Stuart bonnets have the front shirred on wires, the outside of some dark shade, the in side of a contrasting light one. These are drossy bonnets, and are much af fected by Gengotte, one of the well known French milliners. The "ber gere" or sheperdess, a creation of Vir ot's, is a most artistic but most trying affair, needing a pretty, fresh face to show it off; its sides are held down by the ribbon, which passes over the crown and ties beneath the black hair; it is generally of some light shade of plush. The Kabagas shape is still a favorite, and in felt or fur beaver there are many of the large baring shapes of round hats, whieh are half bonnets, and among which the "mousquetaire," with its long, drooping feathers, is about the most graceful. The fur beavers are never much trimmed; they are turned up at the sides with some quaint orna ment, and have a handsome feather, but those shown from Yirot's are almost like riding-hats. Dark rich tints are preferred for street bonnets; dark green, with light blue feathers, or the deep shades of red, such as mulberry, in which all the vary ing tints of fruit are repeated in the feathers and ribbons shaded from light red to dark red brown, and with this garnet ornaments are used. Claire de lune gray is another of this season's favorite tints; when used everything corresponds; the hat perhaps is of . kid, the feathers, the ribbon, the silk flowers, the bead trimmings in the same shade. Dark blue, in plush or velvet is also much used for bonnets. Black velvet is of course as popular as ever. Jet is much used with it particularly fringes of jet which hang from the edges of the coronet shaped fronts, or droop over the stiff crowns. Bands of colored plush in such shades as sul phur, rose, pink, pale blue or crocus yellow are used on the front edges of black velvet hats. Ostrich tips are made to curl over the front edges, and ostrich feathers no locger droop over the black, but are also set with tips, or ends, falling over the front edge. Face trimmings are composed of shirred satin or 2lush formed into coronets, or eJsj full ruches of cheneille-odged lace are worn. Strings are invariably found on all winter bouncts; they are of shaded satin, of double faced satin or plush or they ire stiff with gold embossed fig ures woven on colored backgrounds. N. Y. Kveninn Post. How to Cook Ducks. Tamo and wild ducks are prejiared alike. If young the web will be soft, and the under part of the bill bend easily. If you are suspicious of the flavor, parboil tuem for five minutes with a piece of carrot placed within, and then lay in cold wa ter for an hour. Y'ou may stuff them or not; if you use dressing, put in an abund ance of sage and onions. Bake in a hot oven; if they are young, it will not re quire more than half an hour to cook. Baste at first with hot water, and after wards dredge with a little flour to brown them nicely. Ihey are very fat (or should be so to be good), and will need to be basted often, and turned once or twice. Add the giblets, which you have previously stewed, to the gravy; thick en it a little, season with a pinch of cay enne and pour in a gravy boat. Apple sauce and green pease are th e almost invitable accompianments of bak ed ducks, but turnips are very nice. They may be boiled whole, or in slices. or cut with a vegetable cutter, or mash ed smoothly and dotted with lumps of butter and dabs of pepper before send ing to the table. Salad Without Oil. Take a lettuce, remove the outer leaves, wash, drain it, thoroughly, and cut it into small pieces; take some fresh-cut garden cress (also washed and drained), and two small on ions, put them in a salad bowl, with the" following dressing: Take the yolks of two nard boned eggs, and rub them quite smooth in a mortar, add a teas poonful of mustard, a little cayenne, witn biacK pepper and salt to taste, and four or five teaspoonf uls of cream lastly, add two teaspoonf uls of tarragon vino gar; mix well, and it is ready.

For people whose toilet tables are lacking in space, the new jewel case and pin cushion combined will be very convenient; the cover of the box is stuffed and covered with bright silk or satin for the pins. The passementeries and braid trim mings, which come especially for cloaks, are of such elegant designs and richness of material as to give the ef fect of lavish costliness to the plainest shaped garments. A white satin fan at the Palais Royal, has in one of its ivory sticks a tiny watch, warranted to keep time. This would be a great convenience at aball, where fashion decides that ladies may not wear watches. A pretty new design of the Meridan Company for salt-cups, is in the shape of an egg-shell, the rough edge of the broken shell being an especially skill ful imitation. The shells are gold-lined, as are the dainty little spoons which accompany them. Dragon, moss, olive, lizard, myrtle, seafoam, Nile, salad, bottle, bronze and hunter's green are the various shades of this one color, now the favorite of fash ion. The pea green and apple green, known to the last generation, are never mentioned. Very large buttons are all the rage. They cover ladies cloaks and dresses, and when arrangod in two parallel rows make their wearers look like walking games of dominoes. Fashion will next impress into its service Japanese and Majolica saucers for dress decoration. A basque, intended to servo as a model for a reception dress, has the cen ter fronts elaborately trimmed with sec tions of silk, which are gathered to cen ters in such form as to leave open dia mondsbeneath. Handsome cut steel bucklesare much used in elaborating such simulations of vests, and the design is extremely handsome for two shades of color, one in silk, and the other in sat in.

In decorating the tea kettle with fan cy pictures good taste demands the use of pictures representing landscapes with a waterfall in the back ground.

Whenever and Wherever Diseases of a choleraic type prevail, or there is cause to apprehend a viiit from them, the system should be toned, regalated and re inforced by a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Perfect digestion and a regular habit of body are the best safeguards against such maladies, and both are secured bv this inestim able tonic and alterative. The Bitters are also extremely serviceable in remedying Buch dis orders. If promptly taken in bilious colic, diarrha-a and cholera morbus, the disease is usually frustrated. In diarrhoea cases, it is only necessary to restore the tone of the relax ed bowels, and this is one of the specific effects of this medicin i. Wind on the stomach, heart burn, biliousness, nausea, headache and other symptoms of disturbance in the gastric and he patic regions are also speedily relieved by this excellent remedy. A3 a family medicine it is invaluable, since it promptly and completely remedies those ailments which are of most fre quent oc urrence. Our Commission TraJf. THE WKLL-KNOWN HOUSE OF H. K. CUMMINOS A CO. Oue of the most important branches of indus try engaged in by our citizens is that of the Pro duce Commission trade, which has assumed vast projx)rtiona and shows the growing import ance of Hxn Francisco as a distributing center. This mode of transacting business has been re duced to a system and is mutua.lv beneficial to both producer and consumer. Without these houses what a confusion would exist in the dis tribution of products and their quick exchange. It saves the producer in various ways time, trouble and expense and enables the consumer to obtain what he needs quickly and cheaply. We propose iit this article, for the benefit of our readers, to give a brief description of one of the leading houses in this line that has for the past nineteen years figured conspicuously among the commission interests of tiie coast. We refer to tlio house of 11. K. Cummings .V Co., of No. 421 Battery street, corner of Wash ington, who do a general commission business in all kinds of fruit, farm and dairy produce, disposing of immense quantities of the same for producers in all parts of tho State. These gentlemen are probably as well and favorably known as any other firm on the coast, and it is to their own exertions that they owe their well earned success. When first established (1857) the business was carried on in a verv limited way, Mr. Cummings occupying a stand in the market where he sold the f ruit that was raised in the Oakland gardens the first raised in tho State. In 185!) the business more than doubled itself, necessitating the removal of Mr. Cum mings from his stall in the market to a large, commodious store. The firm, although starting on a comparative limited scale, has, through in tegrity and fair dealing, built up an enviable trade which enables them to not only dispose of products quickly but to obtain tho highest mar ket rates entirely in tho interest of their corres pondents. Another advantage of consigning to such a house as this is that no quantity is too large for them to handle and consignments can bo drawn against immediately instead of be ing obliged to wait as is often the case with smaller houses until the goods are sold. The firm oc cupy a high position in commercial circles for the strict and reliable maimer iu which they carry on their business, and it gives us pleasure to bring them prominently before tho further consideration of our readers and tho trade everywhere. ,S'.
