Mrs. James Croker has had at her
residence, 934 West Sixth street, for six
years a flower which she calls the
pope's Head. 1t is a large round green
plant, which grew very slowly for three
years, when long sprouts grew from the
plant, and on each of the sprouts a
beautiful white flower burst forth
about nine O'Clock one evening and re-.
mained until Q o'clock next evening,
when the flowers faded away. Every
year since the flowers have burst out
aud lasted twenty-four hours. A great
many people called TO see it on Sunday,
all of whom said they had never seen
the like before; they had seen the
plants, but never knew them to bloom.

Two virginia Republican Tick cts.

There are now two electoral tickets
in Virginia-one put up by Malone
and the other by the Straightout Re.
publicans under the leadership of
General Wickham and ex-Representa-
tive Dezendorf. Malone claims that in
seating his delegation the National Re.
publican Convention gave his electoral
ticket their approval, but some of the
Straightout Republicans propose to car
ry the matter before the National Re-
publican Committee for their decision.
1t is probable they will demand that a
new electoral ticket shall be put up in
Virginia, composed Of an equal number
of Mahoneities and Straightouts.

Nos for cleveland.

NEW YORK, June 16.-The latest re-
turns of delegates to the Democratic
state Convention, according to the sta
tisticians of Mr.. Flower are as follows
Country delegates, Flower, 1870 ;coun-
TRY delegates, Cleveland, 70 New York
and Brooklyn delegates, Flower, b6
New York delegates, Cleveland, AZ
country delegates yet to lie elected, II,
of which Flower claims IL. This gives
Flower 21S of the 2S4 votes.
The Cleveland men do not admit ttat
Flower han any such strength, though
they do not deny that be has
apparantly majority Of the Conven-
tion. Flowers figures include his own
aud those who are known to be opposed
to Cleyland. 1t seems absolutely certain
that in no event can Mr.. Cleveland se'
cure anything like an endorsement BY
the Convention.

A NEW ILLUMINAT0R.
THE ELECTRIC LIGHT TO BE
SUPERSEDED NY CASA
POWERFUL LIGHT.

| When the electric light was dis
covered, 1t was generally thought that
it would ere long supersede gas for al
most all Illuminating purposes, and
in some instances this WAS the fact,
but while the new light seemed for a
time to have the field to itself, ingen-
ious men we're perfectiDg arrangements
whereby the light afforded by gas
would equal that of electricity, with
this advantage, that it could be used
in any place where connection
can be made with the gas main, and
can be turned out whenever it suits
the convenience of the user.
This new illuminator is known as the
Siemen's patent regenerative gas lamp,
and il the invention of two of the most
celebrated scientists of Europe. The
gas fame Is around hollow cylinder
about inches in diameter, down which
ii is drawn. The air is introduced into
the flame in such proportions as to
make combustion perfect, and instead
of the dark spot seen in the ordinary
gas flame, the Siemen's burner produces
an intense, white and clear light. The
flame is steady, and it is claimed
that it is economical in the use of gas.
The burner now Cn exhibition at
Gawtlirop Brothers, Fourth and Ship.
ley streets, consumes 80 feet of gas an
hour, and gives light equal to 500 can-
dies, but there are larger ones construc-
ted, that will equal in brilliancy 1000
candles. The gas, and the air that is
mixed with it, Is heated by the flame,
and in this way the great illuminating
effect is produced,
Last evening Mr.. Gawthrop lighted
ten ordinary gas burners in his store,
each consuming feet of gas per hour,
but the light afforded by them seemed
pale, in comparison with the Siemen's
burner, although they were consuming
the same amount Of gas used by it,
and " hen it was turned down, and the
ten burners in full blast, the room
seemed dark.
The membe of the Levy Court con-
template having one of these lamps
placed on the new Market street bridge,
as considerable trouble has been expert
fenced with the electric light, from the
act that it cannot be kept burning
after midnight except at a greatly in-
creased expense, while Sienen's light
of the capacity of the one now on exhi-
bition can be kept burning all night, at
a cost of cents per hour.
When the merits of this new inven-
tion become fully known, there is no
doubt but it will come intu general use
in churches, theatres and other places,
where strong light is needed at
moderate cost.

An UnsOund Ship.

The practice ships Constellation and
Dale, with the naval cadets on board,
left Annapolis on Monday morning on
their annual CruiRe. 1t is probable,
however, that the Dale will notgo. On
Sunday, in adjusting her rudder,
"rotten wood was discovered, the
taffrail being almost entirely decayed,.
There was hardly any sound wood
found to hang tho rudder to. This led
to an examination, when more rotten
wood was discovered in the bow. The
vessel will go through Hampton Roads
for inspection to determine whether 1t
can proceed on the cruise
