Mr.. Wilson had declined being candi-
date for the Senate, and was afterwards
urged to take the nomination for the
House. The Prince Georgian says the
ticket is a good one-composed of men
fit to represent any county or any party
Of the candidate for Senate that paper
says:
"Mr. Clarke, who was chosen for the
State Senator by reclamation, is well
known, not only in the county, but
throughout the State, as man of marked
ability and profound lawyer. He ranks
among the leading lights of the Maryland
Bar, and knows how to manage Presidents
of Railroads. We imagine he don't sui1
the other side so we'll"
Of our esteemed friend Wilson, who has
been true to his principles "in sunshine
and in Storm" the Prince Georgian says:
"Mr. Wilson, who declined a nomina-
ton for Senator, leads the Delegate ticket
He has heretofore filed many positions
in our county, to the entire satisfaction OF
the people, and we are certain he will
come up to his former record as a faithful
representative
All the other candidates are spoken OF
in terms of praise.

The Fox Hunting Challenge Accepted.
The old North State steps to the front
and picks up the gauntlet. Last week we
published the challenge of Messrs Taylor
Suit, Marshall and Cross, pitting the
hounds of Anne Arundel, Prince Georges,
Charles and st. Mary's counties against
the world for fox hunt, the wager $780,
600. This challenge has been accepted in
a card by Mr.. G. Sneed, of Granville, N.
Carolina, in the New York papers. Mr.
Sneed says that if match be made he will
deposit the money or its equivalent with
the Merchants and Planters Bank of Rich.

conditionally accepted Mr.. Sneed's propo-
sition and request Mr.. Sneed to furnish
them references of responsibility with a

sharp, this last request, on the part of

the stuff itself in the Richmond bank
would be sufficient guarantee of response

Banking Business-Jay Cooke d G.,


After all, it really appears there are sew
eral "banking business" men in our coun-
ty. The "big bust up" of Jay Cooke &
Co., have strained the timbers of the mon
etary crafts, and developed considerable
"banking business" interest hereabouts.
They took the cars for Baltimore on Mon
day morning and returned that evening,
such convenient thing, you see, is the
locomotive for men having banking bu-
siness' to attend to. The banking bust
ness" man, C'Newburg,' y however, did not
take to steam that day. He being all
"hunky,'' staid at home. We hope, and
believe, all willyet be safe, and nothing
lost to our "banking business" men.

Uses Of Paper.

Paper making among the Japanese
has reached degree of art unequaled
probably by any people in the world.
According to their own account they
wrote on silk, faced with linen, and
also on Thin wood shavings, till near
the end of the third century of our era.
AT that time paper was first imported
from Corea, and, superseding the home
made fabric, mOnopolized the market
| for more than three hundred years,
when the bark of the paper mulberry
came into use as a substitute for all
other material, and has continued in
use to the present day.
From this and from trees and shrubs
having fbrous bark the japanese man
ufacture, it is said, no less than two
hundred and sixty three kinds of pm
per, while they have several plants
from the roots or seed or sap of which
they extract superior sizing for the
surface of the sheet. And now from
paper we are told that they make
pocket handkerchief, waterproof ov-
ercoats, pals, kettles, and even sauce.
pans, which are safely used over char.
coal fires. OF that we would call
writing paper they have an immense
number of styles, some for deeds and
public documents, some for letters,
some for notes, and four different kinds
to be used only for poetry and songs.
There are also kinds for umbrellas.
hats, lanterns, candlewick and dressing
dolls; and special kinds used only as
wrappings for the various styles of re-
hgious, social or civic gifts.
The species of mulberry first used
in the seventh century is still regarded
as containing the best fibre, ard is ex-
tensively cultivated, and from the pulp
of the bark, mixed with a paste from
the root of the Tovoro-a shrub re-
sembling the cotton plant-some of
the best paper is made. The paper that
can be washed is made with another
kind of paste, and the oil paper for
waterproof clothes from still another.
and the colors of the various kinds are
applied in powder mixed with bean
paste.
The Boston suits of paper clothing,
either from Japan or manufactured in
VIC cdp auCoC AliOLhOtl, are duNtIblSeu db
sixty-two and half cents a suit. What
will come next it is hard to tell. Some
one suggests that such suits be printed
with the latest intelligence from every
quarter of the globe, so that every man
may be his own newspaper, or with the
cheap literature of the day, so that he
that runs may read, or that the suits
be printed on both sides, so that they
can be turned the second day, and
person thus wear serial through the
week, "to be continued" being stamped
on the coat-tail; while if on Sunday
body would wear Uery good clothes,
they might be printed all over with
sermons or striking religious exhorta-
tions. But joking aside, who can
say that we are not just beginning to
understand the uses of paper !-Bdtti-

THE BARNUM MUSEUM FIRE.

InternationaIrsts Suspected or Causing
the Conflagra tiOn-List of Animals
Lost.
When the fire in Bamum's Museum
was discovered, the men who slept in
the building threw open the doors of
the opening on Fourteenth street, and
two of the performing elephants.
jeanette and Betsey, and a camel walk
ed out. These were the only animals
that escaped. The remaining animals,
terror stricken by flames sweeping to-
ward their cages, the heat, and the
sitting smoke, dashed madly against
the iron bars that confined them, or
crouched in the corners of their
cages overcome with the fire.
The performing elephant Pedro, a
magnificent specimen of his kind, who
arrived here only last week from Ham
burg, was securely fastened by chains
on his forefeet Unavailing efforts were
made to undo these, and the keepers
were obliged to leave him to his fate.
His shrill trumpetings could be heard
for a considerable time after the adj
vancing flames had driven away those
who had vainly endeavored to rescue
him. The following is a list of the
animals burned: One elephant, four
giraffes, seven camels and dromedaries,
two magnificent Abyssinian lions, the
only ones attached to a menagerie, two
white polar bears, two Bengal
tigers, one African leopard, one
African and one Asiatic yak, one gnu
(horned horse), one chacema, the larg-
est of the baboon tribe. The celebrat-
ed happy family, consisting of num-
Der of animals, among them raccoon,
rat, dog, cat and other small animals,
and a number of birds living together
in the same cage. A large collection
of apes, gorillas, monkeys, raccoons,
and other small animals. pelicans, os-
triches, and other rare birds, five large
anacondas and boa constructors. One
hundred and fifty persons are thrown
out of employment.
The loss by the destruction of Bar
NUNS Museum and adjacent buildings
is estimated at 100000 The heaviest
losers next to Barnum were Grote &
Co., who had large stock of ivory,
and whose loss exceeds their insurance
by $150,000 The Academy of Music
was considerably scorched, and was in
great danger, together with the Lotus
Club building which joins it. Bar
NUNS Menagerle has obtained the
Globe Theater, and promises to give
performance there by Thursday at the
farthest All of the horses were
saved, but most of the performers lost
their wardrobes. Barnum will send
agents to Europe by Saturdays steam
er to purchase fresh curiosities, and
the work of rebuilding the Museum
will begin as soon as the place is cool
enough.
THE INTERNATIoNALIsTs SUSPECTED.
The fire is thought to have been the
work of an incendiary, and the same
opinion is expressed about the other
fire tonight in Center street. The po-
lice have been ordered to exercise the
greatest possible vigilance, and there
are mysterious movements around
headquarters, indicating unusual ex-
element. Rumors that the Internation-
alists set these fires are circulating, but
cannot be creditably traced.

The Duchesse d'Angouleme Pear.

Fuller, in his Pear Culturist, relates
the following bit of romance in connec-
tion with the celebrated Duchesse
d'Angouleme pear A French noble
man, observing his tenant about to de-
stroy a fine, thrifty pear tree, inquired
the cause. He has told that it was a
chance seeding, and had borne no
fruit in twenty years. He had already
cut its roots preparatory TO the first
stroke, but was ordered TO let itremain
He did SO, and in the following year it
was loaded with superb fruit of an en-
tirely unknown variety, which at once
became celebrated. The root.pruning
the gardener had given it worked like
a charm Not many years afterwards,
when the Duchesse d'Angouleme was
passing through Lyons, its inhabi-
tants sent 10 her their Inequalities.
Nine fair maidens presented the
Duchesse with golden salvers, on which
lay heaped this precious fruit, and
begged her TO bestow on it her name.
and the pear, now recognized as the
GROWING glory of all fruits, was
thence forward known as the Duchesse
d'Angouleme.
