demonstrative one.
The Inauguration of the Columbus statue
this week was an impressive occasion. Our

The long delayed collection of Siamese
goods has just arrived, before the close of
the Exhibition at all events, which is more
than has been latterly expected. Wrecked,
and afterwards slowed away through all
manner of red tape complications, this ex-
hibit has had an eventful history. 1t is be-
ing prepared for public inspection in the
Naval Section of the Government building.
The Exposition is positively to be closed
on the 10th of November, although efforts
have been made for an extension of the
time. The close will thus unfortunately
fall at the time of the Presidential election,
but there is no help for it. INDEX.

:. wHsihaIe In the Chesnpeake.

The officers and several passengers by
the steamship Helen, of the Eastern Shore
Steamboat Company, report that on Sunday
morning large black whale grounded on
occohannock bar, Northampton county, Va,
about forty miles from the mouth of the
Chesapeake, and was killed next day. Oc-
cohannock creek is on the route of the
steamer Helen, and Capt. Raynor, her com
mander, together with his crew, had fight
with the whale. The leviathan grounded
about a. m. in six feet water, where he
remained all day, and crowds of people
came from all sections to get look at the
unusual visitor. The whale at intervals
spouted up the water, and made great ex-
ertions to get off, but each succeeding eff
fort sent it further into shallow water. On
Monday it was attached to the carcass, which
was to be taken ashore at high tide. The
oil will be tried out and sold. Mr.. John Ad-
Olson, resident of the locality, brought a
piece of the tail of the whale to Baltimore
The whale was 3716 feet long, weight abont
two tons, length of tail six feet, mouth
three feet. It is thought the whale was eli.
ther driven into the Chesapeake by south
east gale or followed a vessel, and in at
tempting to put to sea entered the wrong
inlet and was stranded. An old bruise on
its back was believed to have been received
by striking the bottom OF a vessei.-BdH
