PUBLIC PARKs.-We have taken oc
casion heretofore in the REGISTER to call
the attention of our citizens to the sub
ject of public parks, claiming that such
institutions are absolutely demanded, and
must eventually be supplied in every
city or town of any note or Importance.
We hope by urging this matter upon the
attention of our citizens, to at length
awaken them to full understanding of
their value. One of the most interesting
and sensible papers read at the recent
meeting of the Social Science Associa-
ton, was that by Mr. Fred Law Ohm
stead, entitled, "Public Parks and the
Enlargement of Towns" Mr.. Olmstead
possesses a vigorous brain and noble
heart, and his suggestions are the result
of sound thought and the experience of
many years of observation. Below we give
an outline of the thoughts suggested: i.
Mr.. Olmstead begins by referring to
the almost irresistible tendency of the
population In all countries to gather into
towns The time was when the best sort
of people liked living in the country, and
the rural gentry were not only the most
cultivated, but the ruling class. Even
in England, which has so long been cele-
brated for its snug country homes and
beautiful estates, on which the owner
resided all the year round, maintaining
hospitable cheer, and keeping up the
amusements of field and hall, people are
rushing to the cities. Our farmers sons
and daughters are not happy unless they
have the prospect before them of settling
in town. The former want to become
merchants or shopkeepers, in order to
participate in urban enjoyments, and the
latter dream of nothing but city delights,
city fashions, city beaux. London is
getting to be more and more the heart of
England, as Paris has long been the heart
of France. Glasgow grows six times
faster thaa the rest of Scotland, Berlin
twice as fast as the rest of Prussia, and
Dublin holds its own while Ireland de-
populates. Such being the fact it be
comes one of the most important ques
tions, how the people of the towns can
be made most comfortable, most health
full, most refned-in a word, most civil
lized. Mr.. Olmstead's answer is, by the
proper regulation and planting of the
streets, and the multiplication of parks
that will admit of all kinds of neighborly
recreation. Nor, in our opinion, does he
exaggerate the importance of these means
The gregarious instincts of human beings
are nowhere so safely, harmoniously,
innocently. bene6cially gratifed, as in
/ the free, open air assemblages of wei
planned and well regulated parks.

The Masonic Concert.

The concert given last evening UNI
der the auspices of the Masonic fra
ternity in the Ballentine & Wall
block, was a splendid success. The
audience was composed of the elite
ofthe community and highly appre,
ciated the performance, which was
very fine.
We cannot find space to enume-
rate the attractions OF the evening,
but will give further report to-mor-
row. The refreshment stand, pos t
office, fishing pond and sale stands
were under the superintendent of
several of our charming ladies. The
voting on the cane to the ugliest
man, and the cake basket to the
most popular young lady was enter
ed into with considerable spi rit.-
The programme will be entirely
changed tonight and everybody
should be in attendance.

Death of Hon. James III. Mason.

Hon. James NJ Mason, whose death had
been for some days expected, (says the Balti-
more Sun,) died on Friday evening the 2Sth
ultimo, at Clarens, three miles west of Alex
andria, Va, where he had been living for
year or two past, and whittier he had removed
from Winchester Mr. Mason's position a.
mong the distinguished men Of the times is an
eminently historical one, full Of events and hon
ors, and enriched with brilliant family pres.
tige. For several years he was member of
the Virginia Legislature, and in 1887 was cleo.
ted to the United States House of Represen-
tatives. Subsequently, he was leading mem
Der of the United States Senate, and for sew
eral years was chairman of foreign relations COM
mittee. At the breaking out Of the late war he
left that body, along with other Southern Sen
ators and in November, 1861, he embarked
with Mr.. SlidelI, at Havana, on board the
British royal mail steamer Trent, for South
ampton, accredited respectively as ENJOYS from
the Confederate States Of the South to the
courts of Great Britain and France. A few
hours after the Trent was overhauled by the
United States steamer San Jacinto, Commo-
dore Wilkes, and the surrender of Messrs
Mason and Slidell demanded by him. They
were surrendered, and imprisoned for some
weeks at Fort Warren, in Boston harbor,
whence they were liberated on the peremptory
demand of the British government. and sailed
for England in January, 1862. Wilkes, who
was greatly lauded at first Cor the act, both by
Congress and the Cabinet, was soon afterward
summoned before a court-martial composed of
naval officers, and then adjudged guilty Of
gross offences and sentenced to suspension for
three years Mr.. Mason remained abroad for
some years after the termination of hostilities,
and on his return to Virginia took up his res
idence, as already stated, near Alexandria.
For some time past his health had been fail
inc. and within the last month he had lost his
eyesight. He died of general debility, his ner-
vous system being generally deranged. He
had been unconscious for day or two, and
died very peacefully. Mr.. Mason leaves an es-
tate of about 100000.
The former residence and plantation of Mr.
Jefferson Davis, in Mississippi, is owned by g
colored man, who is intelligent and industrious
and successful in his business of cotton plant
ing. 1t is said that Mr.. Davis lately paid &
visit to the place. and was greeted by his for
mer servants with affectionate respect, anc
that he met them courteousy, and encouraged
them with many kind words.

DICOT'S VIRGINIA WOrm-KiIIer.
IL The best safest and most pleasant remedy
for Worms get discovered-Tried by thousands
and approved by all-CHILDREN CRY FOR IT.
Most of diseases from which children suffer are
occasoned by the presence of Worms in the
body, and If they are neglected they produce
great arrangement of the system, and give rise
to many alarming affections,
This valuable and we'll known preparation is
recommended with the greatest confidence; past
experience and test of years having proved it to
be one of the best and most reliable Vermifuges
in use. 1T has great advantage over most ar
ticles of the kind, it is readily taken by chill
dren, being mild and pleasant to the taste, and
safe, prompt, and certain in its effects. Prepared
only by BERRIAN & MGPHAIL, druggists, cor
ner Main and 18th streets, Richmond, Virginia.
1Eo TESTIMONIALS:
Being familiar with "Picots Virginia Worm
Killer" and the mode of preparing it, we can
confidently recommend it as pleasant, safe and
reliable Vermifuge for children troubled with
worms. ....
