A TERRAPIN FARM.

have just heard Of an instance, says
a Washington correspondent, where a
United States Senator is supported by
terrapins. Senator Dennis of Maryland,
SO my information goes, has about
twelve acres of land put down i'll pond
that is fed by salt water. This pond
makes the largest terrapin farm probably
in the world. and is the source of q
heavy income.
In it terrapins are raised for the
market, and it is said that over $4,000
"counts" have been sold from it in one
year. 1t may be noted, for the benefit
of the unini tiated, that a ''terrapin Over
seven inches in length and that
"counts" are sold by number-bringins
from $40 to Sl4 dozen or about 81 each.
In market they retail for about $40 pei
dozen--and in the fashionable restau
rants are served at S1.50 plate-one
terrapin filling about three plates
Smaller terrapins are sold at lower fig
ures and are "diamOnd" backs in fact al
we'll as name. There are several terra
pin ponds in Maryland and they grow
in Importance as "terrapin stew, Mary,
| land style," is becoming more and NOR
popular among high-livers. The thirty
ing city of Christield, in Maryland
ships terrapins by the thousands, alon!
with it's million ofoysters.

ROSCOE CoNKLING.

+ y - 4 &
The ponderous Senator from New
York has succeeded in creating a SEN
sation by the tender of his resigna-
ton, in conjunction with that Of his
file closer, Plat.
Mr.. Conkling, evidently prefers to
retire from the Senate than to remain
in that body, as lamb shorn Of the
influence which he needs to maintain
himself in the position Of Grand Sach-
EN- of the stalwart wing Of the Repub-
lican party.
He has all to gain and nothing to
lose by the course he has adopted
He would sink down to insignifcance
were he to retain his seat in the hum
BILE capacity of a member whose only
power rests in the single vote which
he has the right to cast on one side
or the other of every question.
Whatever may be his faults, and
he has many, he will at least have
shown that proper pride which should
prompt every representative Of the
people to relinquish his trust when
ever he has reason to believe that his
course in important matters, is moi
sustained by the wishes of his con.
stituents.
| We don't like a bone in Mr.. Conk
ling's body, yet we do applaud him fol
endeavoring to set such precedent
1t is sickening to see men cling tt
positions when those whom they pre-
tend to represent are opposed, mani
testify, to their course.
Conkling's attitude is slap in tht
face of the Kelloggs and the Mahone'
whose presence in the Senate Of til,
United States is an insult to manly
pride and the cOmmonest decency
Whatever interest Mr.. Conkling il
serving in opposing RObertson's con
firmation, he deserves praise for th'
good, though new example in thes'
time, which he gives to the shameless
men who occupy the places which

NASHVILLE, May 1.-THE fire this
morning was the most destructive
that has occurred in Nashville tor
many years Commencing in the oil
and paint establishment Of Warren
Brothers, corner Of Warren and
Church streets, it spread rapidly
north, east and west, until thirty -four
buildings were consumed. The new
marble front Noel block, on Church
street, Of eight three-story buildings,
including the beautiful new Office Of
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, with all it's valuable equip
ments, is in ruins. The fire in this
direction west, struck across an al
ley, destroying two old buildings oc-
cupied as restaurants and club rooms,
and with great difficulty the Maxwell
House and the interveningblock were
| saved.
On the opposite side Of the same
street the wholesale liquor houses Of
Ryan & Ryan and Pierce, Hopkins &
Lawrence, adjoining the American
Office, were destroyed, together with
small intervening buildings. The
roofand cornice of theeAmerican bull
ding were partially burned, but the
main damage to this building and its
contents was from water on the ma
chinery, paper and newspaper files
Sweeping east along Church street,
the fire destroyed Dickens's whole
sale liquor house and the warehouse
of Cherry, O'Connor & Co., and sew
eral smaller buildings. Moving north
along College street, the furniture
houses of Phillips & Schneider and
Atwell & Sneed, and a mattress and
china store, the adjoining buildings

occupied as a storage-room by Week

dings were destroyed. The estina.

rance does not exceed $2O0.00O.

THE ST. LOUIS HOTEL.

While visiting New Orleans, lately,
we had occasion to go TO the rookery,
in which are located the State Off
Gals. That portion Of the building
in which the Superintendent of Pub
lie Education had his Office andrOund-
about the old Senate Chamber, is now
entirely unoccupied for the reason
that the rain has rotted the ceilings
and floors, giving those surround.
