Potomac Fruit Growers Annual E.hibi,

Potomac Fruit Growers Annual Exhibition
The Potomac Fruit Growers Association
opened their annual fair and free exhibition
yesterday in Washington. The exhibition
is the finest ever held in this section of the
country, and compares well with the larger
State and national fairs in quality. The
fruit is not surpassed anywhere, and it
shows that this is as good a fruit-growing
region as can be found. The exhibition was
continued to-day, and at 2 o'clock P. nj.
an address was delivered upon fruit culture
by j. ii. Gray, of Falls Church. The De-
partment of Agriculture occupied one large
table entire with grand lot of pears and
grapes. The Commissioner of Agriculture
also sent for'thc benefit of the Association,
two kinds of foreign wheat, which was dis
tributed to those members who would
make the best use of it. Mr.. r. A. Phil
lips had lot of Concord grapes. Major
fruit grower, had six varieties of peaches,
thirty-three of apples, eleven of pears,
twelve of grapes, and some hybreds of his
own cultivation. Colonel S. E. Chamber
lain, Of Waterford, Va, had twelve kinds
of apples, Seeding peaches, grapes from
vine forty years old, together with some
wild fruit. Jno. Saul had a collection of
forty kinds of pears: and fifteen of

A Rich Illustration,

1t appears that while Greeley's chief or
gan has been bepraising Ex-Governor
Vance extravagently, the latter does not
talk in a very tlattering way about Gree
ley. During the North Carolina campaign,
Vance made a speech in the tar regions,
which is reported as follows:
I" 1t is hard for us who have been ex-
treme war men, who have lost property
and almost all we hold dear for principle,
to now sacrifice principle and accept
Horace Greeley for our candidate but we
must do it.o Some one shouted ,out,
" We can't do it'll Vance replied: 'NWe
must" See here, gentlemen, sometimes
we are dry and can't get good liquor. We
must have a drink. Don't you take
poor whisky, if you can't get
anything else? OF course, we take
the poor. We take and mix ia little
whisky, a little water, a plenty of
sugar, stir it up, drink it and damn it. So
in this case we can do no better. We will
take little Greeley and mix in some OF
the issues we all love, vote the ticket, but
curse Greeley" This, given in Vance's
way, made laugh. After it was over,
some old bourbon sang out: =" 1t won't do,
Governor; it won't do. Pve been dry a
good while, and if can't take it straight,
I'll stay dry" This "fotched the
house, and soon after the meeting broke

TIE Springfield Republican gives very
fair review of the evidence on both sides of
the Livingstone-Stanley question, and de-
cides thereon that Stanley has accomplished
what he claims to have accomplished. 1t
then makes very pertinent suggestion
that there should be ''an intermediate and
complete exploration of Africa by the
combined resources of Christian govern
ments." "There is" it says, mo longer
reason why we should not chase the
mountains of the moon into their last
hiding place and know where the Nile comes
from. The money spent in exploring the
barren artic regions would have put a
locomotive into Ujiji before this time.
Christianity, commerce, self-intercst and
science all demand that the African sphinx
be forced to give up itsSsecret. Before
another decade passes, inner Africa must
be opened up and prospected, and mapped
IN all the primary biographies so that even
DR.. Livingstone's grandson could not lose
himself there and before the century Is
out, railroads, telegraphs, newspapers and
churches must be planted in the inner courts
of her MYSTERIES and the sealed lips and
chained hands of her peoples be added to
the worshipping and working forces Of
civilization.o

A Horse Refusing to Run Over a Child.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.l

lFTOu IHe I'LL Mdll SItZetle.J
There is a horse at present in the Isle of
Man possessed of such singular intelligence
and alniabllity of disposition that the SOON
er he is bought from his owner and trans
ferred to London the better. This good
natured animal positively refuses to run
over human creatures, and will throw
himself into the most intricate contortions
rather than injure hair of their heads.
A few days ago, according the Manx
SIN, the horse in question was proceed
ing through the markct-place in Douglas,
harnesscd to an ''inside car" While thus
engaged in the performance Of his duties a
child, aged two years, the son of fruit
dealer, ran across the road in front Of the
car, and was knocked down by the horse.
Our own London horses, encouraged by
their drivers, would have made short work
of the hapless infant; not so, however,
the Manx horse, who was observed "to
make sudden pause, move its right fore
foot about, and having placed its hoof light
ly OH the child's breast, to again lift it up,
putting it down by the child's side without
injuring it," The bystanders Immediately
eXtrcated the child from its perilous posi-
ton, and the horse resumed its journey,
carrying with it the respect and admiration
of all who witnessed the scene, among
whom, it is stated, were "two gentlemen
of high position in Douglas, whose names,
if necessary, might be given"

A French lady writes thus Of the girls Of
the period: 81 was at a reunion the other

girl, not more than sixteen years old, who
had just arrived in Paris. She had come all

only by brother two years younger than
herself, and seemed quite incapable of un-

who questioned her regarding her jour
ney.
What you travelled six thousand miles
alone with you little brother?
"'Yes, madam

Afraid of whatY
"And there was that in her manner
that showed she was already quite capable
Of taking care of herself.
6 Where is the Parisienne who would
venture to 60 from Paris to st. Cloud
alone?
English women have the same temper
ament and the same education as the
American. 1t is not rare to see English
girls who have been alone to the Indies and
back. | once met in England young girl,
who, when | asked her what she went to
the Indies for, replied with the greatest
