in an extra sntes thatthe fire marshal reports
that II bodies were found up to o'clock
this morning among the ruins ofthe burned
st. Johns Home for children in this city.

that most Of the children who persisted were
in the ill fatet Sister Joserhine's ward. The
search is progressing under careful supervi
sion. The men engaged in excavatng the
ruins Of the laundry have found the re.
mains of boys and grown persons.

The New Orleans Exposition.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 19.-The Picayune
commenting on the protest of the exhibitors
says editorially: sit is to be regretted that
there has been any necessity for such 9
protest as has been sent to the management
and there must have been strong provoca'
ton for these interested parties in making
public declaration Of mismanagement
The exhibitors, not having time at this
late day to commence an investigation as
to where the blame lies, have perhaps very
properly struck at the immediate officers In
charge of that department nearest to them
That way is the shortest, and probably is
as etftctual rs any other, and will OF al
events bring about the desired reform"

THAT Fox The fox which escaped from
the would. he fox hunters in Washington, On
Tuesday, was discovered yesterday on the
south porch Of the executive mansion, near
one of the parlor windows. The animal es-
capped from the hunters before they left the
city, and it is supposed he was attracted By
the shrubberv of the mansion grounds, and
went there to escape his pursuers. CopsId-
cradle fun has been had at the expense OF
the ladies and gentlemen who sailed forth
on the hunt which the humane society so
materially interfered with. 1t is suggested
now that so far as this unusually sly fox was
in any danger of being bounded TO death 10y
the amateur huntsmen, the society might
have let the hunt go on without any fear OF
cruelty being practical. Before he could be
killed, pet fox would have to be first caught.
The Star says: "The woud-be fox hunt
ers are said to- be very sore over the inter
ruption to their ride. They would have
been sorer yet if the humane society hadn't
stopped it,"

We came to low, whitewashed cottage,
where lives, high up on the mountain top,
Il lettering Old man, % years of age. He
looks after a small garden, and whenever
he wants anything he walks into IIermou-
polls to do his shopping. Our muleteer
called him out and he came to welcome
us. He was full of stories about tie Won
derful changes he had seen during his
long, eventfui life; how he had fought for
his country's Liberties; how he had assist
ed in building the first house for the
refugees down by the harhoT. When we
left him asked our muleteer if people
frequently lived TO be so old At SYRIA.
" Yes" was tie reply; "an old woman
died at 40 only short while ago. In
former years people lived SO long that the
aged had to be thrown down a mountain
cliff which is still called Gerousi." This
tradition Of longevity in SYRIA is curious,
and more especially so in connection with
the slaughter Of the aged On the neigh
boring island Of keos il is well known
that the old and useless members of socie-
ty were obliged to swallow hemlock when
Il certain age was reached. The Able
della Rocca, one of the Roman Catholic
brethren in SYRIA, writing a century ago,
tells us of the same tradition existing then
about the great age and general healthl-
ness of the Syriotes. Homer gives us the
following testimony:
There in the city, void of pain and fears,
They dwelt. and ever as they wax in years
Apollo coming with his silyery bow
Aims with bis sister the gLt-teathered spears
Against them, and the sweet life fades Ike

less demand for the purpose of supplying
you gentlemen of the Eastern States with
what Won deem TO be foreign wines, while
some California wines are already teein-
ming to make reputation which II does
not pay to disguise under a foreign label.
California is now sending TO the Atlantic
coast more wine than is imported from
France, and it is estimated that the wine

To give your numerous readers some
idea of California's prospective product OF
wine in the near future, / have only IN
conclusion to state that the total area OF
vines planted in California up 10 and IN
Guiding 1884 is about 170,000 acres, the
average yearly increased planting being
something like 10000 acres. OF the vines
now planted ii is estimated that 10000
acres will be in full bearing in 1885, yield
ing 100000 gallons; 105000 acres in
1886, Welding 100000 gallons; 10000
acres in 1887, yielding 25,000,000 gallons;
and 10000 acres in 1888, yielding 35,000,-
900 gallons.
Twenty per cent. ofall the vines planted
are for raisins, shipping, and table pur-
poses, and so per cent. for the manufacture
of wine and brandy.
