ZOOLOClc AL GARDEN AT PARAMOUNT
PARK, PHILADELPHIA,

Paramount Park has attained a
reputation which is second only to
that of Central Park, New York. 1t
contains nearly 5000 acres, being
more THAI three times as large as
Central Park. 1t is dedicated to be a
public pleasure ground forever, and
under the management of a boar of
commissioners it is rapidly growing in
beauty and interest.
Thlrty-three acres Of the park have
been leased by the Geological society
of Philadelphia, which has been so
successfully managed that although
but few years Old, its collection is
the finest III the country.
The track of land leased to the so.
clety is that knoWn as ''SOlltuLe,' and
on 1t stands the ancient house built bv
John Penn, son of Thomas Penn, and
grandson of William Penn. and owned
by his descendants until purchased by
the park commissioners.
No expense has been spared to per-
feet the garden in every particular,
and 1t is lifted in manner best suited
for the maintenance and exhibition
of birds and animals.
The society intends establishing
here geological garden, second to
none in the world, and is rapidly car
rying out its designs. 1t has agents
in every part OF the globe from whom
it receives frequent shipments Of rare
and interesting specimens Of natural
history.

THE GRAND CANAL OF CHINA.

For six or eight hundred years the
urand Canal. crossing the great plain
OF Northern China, from Perkin. in
the north. to Hangchow, in the south
has been the chief line of communica-
ton and commerce between the
capital and the southern portions of
the Chinese Empire. The canal
proper is more than six hundred miles
long, and. with it's branches, is said
to supply two thousand miles of
waterway and the means for irriga-
ting retaining many thousand square
miles OF thickly peopled country.
During recent years, however, the
vast sums appropriated for the man.

Canal have been SO largely absorbed
by dishonest officials that the canal
has become practically unfit for com.
merce IN many parts; while the esti-
mated cost of putting it in good con-
dltlon is so hopelessly beyond the
capacity of an empire impoverished
by war, famine, and afficial rapacity.
that the Imperial Government are
seriously considering the propriety
OF abandoning the canal entirely.
For the first time since the canal was
built the food supplies from the south

REMARKABl EARTH CONVUL SIONS.

A correspondent of the San Fran.
cisco Chronicle, writing from Apla,
samoan Islands. under date of July
II, says that the most extraordinary
commissions of nature are taking
place throughout the island groups of
Southern Polynesia, and never III the
history of those regions have these
COMMISSIONS been SO frequent as during
the present year. There can be no
doubt that raging fires Of great vast

How Mardi Gras Was Celebrated.
Mardi Gras has come and gone. The
streets were crowded all night by masquer-
aders and by pleasure-seekers in general.
There were balls all over the city, and they
were all we'll attended. Over the Rhine
thousands of children filed the streets and
made night hideous by their howlings.
They indulged in all sorts of pranks Most
of the youths were masked, or made some
semblance of masking
Among the many Balls one of the fines,
was that at the Bellevue, given under the
management of r. Il. J. Miles. The halls
were crowded to their utmost by most re-
spectacle party. The costumes were quaint
and gorgeous. The music was furnished by
the Cincinnati Orchestra. doc" Thayer
the circus manager, figured as Rex" al
this place. Among the features of this af
fair was the magniticence of the pyrotech
mic display.
Mozart and Greenwood Halls were packed
by elegantly costumed people, who enjoyed
themselves immensely until the break ol
day. 1t was magnificent party.
Another of last nights splendid masquer
ades was that given by the Orpheus Club al
their hall,
The colored citizens had jolly time al
Hopkins Hall, and the masquerade was
we1l attended.
The Buckeye Club was not behind the
others. They gave tip-top masquerade al
the Lookout House, Andy Brands Reed
Band furnishing the music. Tableaux and
fine calcium light heightened the effects
of the party.
There were innumerable Other ffnasquer

The Directors of the Longview Asylum
held their regular monthly meeting yester-
day afternoon.
H. D. Peck and John O. Morris, the new
Directors appointed by Governor Bishop,
presented their commissions, showing that
they had been appointed on the 9th of
February, and confirmed by the Senate,
each for three years. This was evidently
irregular, as the statute provides that ap-
pointments shall be made to fill unexpired
terms. The matter was not disposed of.
The election of a permanent Secretary
was postponed to the next meeting.
Superintendent Bunker's report showed
that six hundred and forty-seven inmates
were in the institution.
Mr.. Green reported that an insurance had
been effected on the building and contents,
at one and half per cent for $100, 500; that
the st. Nicholas Company, of New York,
desired only to take 81, 500 of the srnount,
instead of S., 600, as at first contemplated by
the agent. He had received proposition
from Mr.. Young, agent of the Northwestern
National, of Milwaukee, to take $500 OF
the amount awarded to the st. Nicholas,
but the Committee on Insurance did not
feel like taking any responsibility in the
matter without consulting the Board. On
motion of Mr.. Peck the Committee was
authorized to do whatever they might think
best in the matter.
Superintendent Bunker was instructed to
fill that position until the next meeting,
which will be on the 10th instant.
