It is as simple as it is elegant, being first a round piece of cashmere large enough to cover tho head well that is to drop a little on tho forehead and fall as low behind as the nap of the neck ; another piece somewhat smaller, butterfly shaped, is laid over this, and from under the wings fall two bands of Cashmere for strings.

The Brandt Explosion. The sad acci dent by which two persons lost their live3 and several were Ecalded is but one of hun dreds signalizing the careless way in which people act when off 44 enjoying" themselves. Whenever an excursion leaves for any point removed from the city every care should be 1 used to see if the boats or means of convey ance are really safe. The old regulations about steamers being inspected regularly, and the owners fined very heavily if they engage to carry passengers without provid- ing perfectly secure boats should be enforced. We give the following account of the ac cident from the Jeurnal : This accident of which vVc speak occurred as the steamer Brandt was returning from an excursion' to the Black . Fish gjound, about i' o'clock on the afternoon of Mon day last, tho 5th instant, and "when within about four or five miles of the city, l Every fhntr liad seemed to have conspired to make the trip pleasant.

The boat wa speeding easily and, finely on Us way and soon the city would be in full .sight But suddenly there came: one of those terri ble shocks, when in a moment all gaiety is repressed and grim death. looraVop in'iti most terrible torm. The noise of xn explo sion was heard, a shock felt, and In a mo ment the whole after part of the boat waa immersed in hot steam. In an instant it be came evident that the boiler had burst the extent of the damage none could then tell. Among those aft were Messrs. Wm. B. Mearesv Chas. R. Arey and Ed. H. Eilers, all young men in the full vigor of youth.4 As the hot steam covered them?with its scorch ing breath, a chance of life in the waters or certain death by scaldinc on the boat ieem d presented to their minds. Messrs. Meares and Arey sprang overboard, and Mr.. Eilers !was knocked with them in the 8pring.k- i a, few moments the steamer was free of steam and deprived of the power of motion except such as the former headway and the iorce of the current gave..! All attention was instantly attracted to the three persons in the water. Tho boat continued to leave them rapidly and great difficulty was expe rienced by them iu keeping afloat, burdened down as they were with the weicht of their clothes. ' It 8oo n became apparent that un less speedily rescued they would be drowned. Eager hands instantly flew to and launched the steamer's boat, and into it one of the gentlemen sprang. But Its condition was such that the water poured in through tht bottom, it soon filled and finally turned over and its occupant, instead of being able ; to rescue his friends, was forced to cling to j the bottom tor life. To tlie aid of the struer-! gling men life-preservers were thrown, but the tide was running up and these could not be reached or were not seen. Fortunately the steamer Waccamaw, With a party of colored excursionists was coming on behind, and was but about from one to two miles off, and was making all headway, seeing the accident, to tho rescue. A boat was lower ed ivhen within about a hundred yards, but, alas, ere it came up one of the party had sunk to rise no more. Messrs. Arey and Eilers were taken in completely exhausted and in a sicking condition boh had in fact sunk two or three times. Mr. Meares was no whero to be seen, j Just verging into manhood, ripe in the enjoyment of youth and vigor, in the full flush of health and happiness, he thus met his untimely end.
