ton shows how rapidly this market has grown.
In 1860 only 1866 packages OF raw SILK,
valued at 81, O99. OG9, were imported INTO this
country. while in 1875 1864 packages, val

of imported manufactured silk ta'rics dc-

PARK ATTRACTIONS.

The Paramount Park Commission has recently
completed q work which will awaken among Phila-
delphians fresh inter 81 in their pleasure ground.
and enable them to enjoy 1t more ute,ligeuJly The
Commission has Issued a catalogue Of the trees ana
shrubs planted within a certain distance OF the
Horticultural Hal, ana no doubt the people who
daily drive in FliTmouni will be surprised TO dis
cover what variety Of sylvan treasures the Park
contains. Some years ago a similar catalogue OF the
trees and shrubs Central Park issued but the
work was not altogether satisfactory, and The
TRIBUNE has heretofore suggested that the facilities
offered by the Park for recreation and instruction
would be increased if representative specimens
were labelled. a descriptive guide-book and
map Of the plantations published, and occa-
sonal bulletins issued announcing when
certain trees and shrubs were i'll bloom
or in their best foliage, when the changing year
had brought out any other special attraction. IN
fortunately. our Park. in spite of lis beauty as a
whole, is rather weak IN choice specimens, and as
an arboretum it is probably inferior to Fairmount.
And vet few Of our people have an adequate
idea of the richness and variety of our home coec
ton. and fewer still know when and where to find
noteworthy groups or individuals at their best.
The japanese sOphora is not new to cultivation
here. nor can 1t be considered rare. And yet 1t
would be difficult to find elsewhere in the country
such q wel-grown group OF these trees as the one
hardening small lawn space in the north
east portion of the Ramble Duung the past week
large spikes OF cream-colored flowers thrust out
from the mass ofvelvet green foliage of the trees
have made a striking picture. Near by the sophoras
is an instructive example Of the fine effect which
can be produced with one of our common native
shrubs the white alder (clethra alnifolia). The
same space which in spring was blazing with the
bloom of azaleas is now white with the erect ra-
GENES of the alder flowers and the air is loaded with
their fragrance There can be no question that the
usefulness of the Park would be greatly increased
if visitors could be advised now and then of the
transformations which going on i'll out-of-the-
way hooks as the seasons do their quiet work.

TIE SITE or THE FIR.

The report of the COMMITTEE on Sites
which was rendered to the United States Inter
national Commission last week, is document
of considerable value, although it contains
no expression Of preference as to the
proper place for holding the Worlds Fair of
1888 From time to time certain gentlemen
have volunteered to set forth in the public
prints, or otherwise, the advantages which
some particular site seemed to offer from
their point of view, and these have been
collected in pamphlet, with no COM
ment or suggestion. Some Of these papers
are very elaborate, going even into the details
of buildings to be erected, but it is fair to
assume that the final decision will not be
made until iull hearing is accorded
to all and careful examination of
every proposed situation has been made.
What gives the report genuine value is the
accompanying map in which all the proposed
sites are plainly indicated, so that their rela-
tons to tie waterfront and transit lines can
be studied and compared. Twelve sites are
discussed, including Central Park, which may
as well be dismissed at once. 1t is
also Of the first importance that q
New-York Fair should not be held outside
the limits of New-York City, and this makes
shpwreck of the hopes of Brooklyn and HO-
boken. A waterfront for the Fairgrounds is
also essential. and this shuts out Fleetwood
Park and the sO-caled Harlem site north of
Central Park.
The advocates Of the site between and in
Guiding Mornngside and Riverside Parks set
forth among the advantages offered by this
selection, the spacious extent of the grounds
which could be secured; salubrity; freedom
from bad Odors and other annOyanccs pictur-
esque walks, drives and views in every direction
the broad esplanade or drive along the crest
of the ridge, and the permanent advantage
which would accrue to the city from the
adornment of the parks. The desirablity of
selecting high ground like this plateau is
insisted on and 1t is held that the diff
Guilty of getting up from the river front
and transporting heavy articles to the required
elevation, as well as the cost of grading the
rugged surface, will be counterbalanced by the
comforts offered by the hilltop after it is
reached. The Port Morris site, in the Twenty
third Ward. presents level surface,
Of ample extent to contain sixty
acres of compact buildings, and con-
centratiOn will be considered an advantage
by every one who was annoyed by the neces-
sity of wandering from hall to hall i'll the
diffused Exposition at Philadelphia. On the
land side it is skirted by the Southern Boule-
ward, and by bridges and railway
lines already constructed visitors from
either side of the city could take

any of the elevated roads, and be delivereu
under the roof of the projected buildings.
while rail connections now completed cou'"
bring passengers from north and east by the
New Haven, Harlem and Hudson River ROADS
directly to the Enclosure. But the superiority
of the Port Morris water front is what the adyo-
Gates of this site insist upon most strennonsN
II lies at the opening of Long Island SOUND
facing water seventy feet deep and vessels
of the heaviest draft could unload upon
wharves connected directly with the build
ings. Several piers could be bullt'
and the facilities would be ample
for landing passengers from towns on
the Long Island and Connecticut coast. from
points in New Jersey and on the Hudson. and
from other parts of this city. Besides these
advantages, it Is urged that as New-fork Is
the chief maritime city of the con-
tinent, it would be altogether appro-
pirate to hold its great Fair in sight OF blue
water and with the tide rushing by. Several
other sites are also presented to the Commas
SION for consideration, and from among all OF
these there should be no difficulty in selecting
a site superior to any of those where, during
the past thirty years. the great Exposltions OF
the world have been held.
AS the Commission is not yet permanently
organized, there will no doubt be some changes
in the Executive Committee. 1t is to be hoped
that this committee will finally be strength
ened by the addition of practical men
who have gained experience in former service
of this sort, and have been trained
to such duties as will make their advice OF
value in deciding such an important question
as that of location. The people of the city
and of the county will insist upon patlent,
unbiased investigation and conclusion FOR
which satisfactory reasons can be assigned.
They Will also insist with equal emphasis
that no ruthless hands shall be laid upon
Central Park.

A petition addressed to Governor Cornell Mayor
Cooper, Justices Cowing and Gldelsleeve, Recorder
Smyth, Dlstrict-Attorney Phelps. and the Board OF
Police Commissioners, calling for earnest efforts tn
suppress the lottery traffic in this city. has OBJ
tanned many signatures OF prominent citizens and
will doubtless receive many more equally iniiu-
entail. The petition powerful argument against
the traffic and closely resembles addressed many
wears ago to the Legislature. That was backed
by several thousand names of prominent citizens,
and resulted in the passage of laws which were
then enforced but are now totally ignored. II is a
question whether the same result will follow this
later movement. The lottery men are so numerous,
so powerfully ntrenched in their position, and find
such ample protection from various public officials,
that it is going to be no easy matter to dislodge
them even though the crusade is begun and directed
from the highest Office of the State.

A NEW INDUSTRY.

OuI neighbOIs III Pennsylvania are making O
strenuous effort to urge the culture of silk
upon the agricultural population. Schools are
given gratuitOusly to farmers wives and
daughters IN the feeding and care of the worm,
gathering of the leaves, and preparation of the
cocoon for market. There is every reason
now to encourage this industry among our farm
ing population. 1t can be carried on prOftably
either in q large OF small way, since the extent
of the silk manufactures of the country war
rants the larger production OF the raw material.
The Morus Multicaulis fever Disguised our
people with the name Of the sllkworm as an
article Of commerce. and has made them I'M
willing 10 venture again on an experiment
which once proved so dsastIou
But it failed forty years ago because it was
undertaken too hastily, with insufficient
knowledge of the trees and the kind of soil
and climate required by them; and also before
the manufacture of silk in the country was
large enough to offer market for such wht le-
