ORPHEUS GLEE CLUB


has been handed to me by the man
aging editor. l would rather had
you to have finished your comment
on this affair, as the Household is
very anxious to know all of the
particulars. Perhaps | am in pos
session of certain facts that may be
interesting to you and those who
desire to see the success of the Or
ganlzation. l take this view of the
matter, which is quite similar to
yours. The original OrpheuSGlee
club disbanded, after the officers
had Withdrawn or left the club.
No reorganization was affected, un-
til it was rumored that there was
to be organized an Orpheus Musi-
cal and Social club; then several
gentlemen who were connected with
the old Orpheus Glee club perfect
ed a re organization, by electing
Messrs j. L. Layton, president,
G. A. Beal, vice pres, A. K. Brodie,
Secty., J. G. Nalle, Treas, aud w.
A. Stewart, LiberiaD. A circular
was issued by these gentlemen and
sent to the honorary members who
were previously connected with
the original Orpheus Glee club, re-
questing them to state, whether
their names were used by the Or
| pheus Musical club with their au-
thority Or whether they we're still
members of the original Orpheus.
This circular has made several OF
the honorary members angry who
say that they have right to belong
to as many social aud musical clubs
as they fl ell disposed, and call their
circular impudent. The same gentle
men who are honorary members of
the Orpheus Musical club belong
! to the original Orpheus also. have
been informed that several gentle
men, who are honorary members of
the original Orpheus, whose names
appear on the list before me, say
that they are no longer honorary
members of the original Orpheus
Their excursion will take place III
September and there is no doubt
of a success. The excursion Of the
Orpheus Social and Musical club
will take place next Friday. You
better be at the boat in time, as il
will be the largest and most select
excursion that has ever been given
for the benefit of the HOME CIRCLE
Let me hear from you soon.
Truly yours,

Longevity of Butterflies.


A correspondent OF the Times, refer
ring to Sir john Lubbock's discovery of
much greater longevity of ants than has
hitherto been believed, thinks that the
same may be true with regard to the
butterfly, although the common notion
is that the butterlly's life is short and
merry one. The correspondent, who
writes from Bourncmouth, then relates
the following incident:
"On August ID last fine peacock
butterfly flew into our house through
die garden door, and was caught and
put under large bell glass. On the
following day another came in, and
was also put under the glass, They
were supplied daily with fresh flowers
and II few drops Of new honey, which
they evidently much enjoyed. No. l
died during suddenly cold night; No.
lived until December II. Whenever
the sun shone upon their cage, which
was placed on Il table near 4 large win
dow OF plate glass, they opened their
beautiful wings and flew about Yigor-
ously, occasionally resting on y flower
to thrust their trunks deeply into its
corolla, or standing over and sucking
up the drops of honey. The extraordi-
narily sensitive nervous system of these
little beauties was indicated by the most
vibratilc trembling of the wings directly
the sunlight or the scent of fresh flowers
reached them. When the sun was not
out they usually remained perfectly
still, with their wings closed, especially
selecting to hang on the under side of
leaf, They showed great intelligence
in distinguishing tho freshly gathered
flowers and in deciding that honey was
the right thing to eat, and | have seen
one of them scramble with considerably
difficulty across his cage through a
tanglc OF leaves and stalks, determined
to get to particular leaf on which he
wished to hang. After some unsuccess-
ful attempts to reach it, he hooked it
down with one foot, then held it with
another, until he could get the rest of
his legs upon it, having done which he
appeared satisfied, shut up his wings,
and hung himself upon it, topsy-turvy,
to rest. If he failed to do what he
wished with one leg, he Immediately
tried another, appearing to think that,
having six at his disposal, it was foolish
to waste much time on any one. But
he only used his most anterior pair on
very special occasions. How long each
butterfly had lived before it was caught
do not know, but No > lived in its
glass cage III days"

Some California Products.

The annual review by n leading firm
of this city of the trade in dried fruit
and honey of California for 1885 con-
tains many very interesting figures. 1t
appears that the total dricd-fruit product
of the state last year required ITO, OOO,-
900 pounds of green fruit, equal to $500
carloads, and was of u value of So, 5OO,-
900. OF extracted honey the product
was 100000 pounds; comb honey,
100000 pounds, and bccswaX, 10000
pounds, pretty good showing for the
bees, Raisins show an enormous in
crease, the total output of 1885 being es-
timated Mt 100000 boxes of twenty
pounds each, against 10000 boxes in
1884. This indicates the rapid advance
of what is destined to be n very impor
tant California industry, and which will
keep in the country hundreds of thou
sands of dollars which now annually 60
to Spain and other Mediterranean coun-
tries. A decided improvement in pack
ing and grading in 1885 was noticed,
and is worthy of commendatlon We
are producing large and constantly in
creasing quantities of nuts, the product
last year having been 100000 pounds
Of walnuts, $4,000 of peanuts and
100000 of almonds. In sun-dried ap-
p'.'s, peaches and plums, we also do
well, the product having been: Apples,
100000 pounds; peaches, 1900, 900,
and plums, 1,02l, 900. We are gradual
ly making Roadway on the foreign crop
of prunes. Producers are beginning to
grade and pack their prunes after the
French method, and when this is uni
vcrsally done it is predicted that our
prunes will take their proper place in
the eastern markets. In 1885 our out
put was 100000 pounds of French,
and 10000 pounds of German prunes,
or about the same as 1884. In the line
of evaporated fruits less is being done
than in sun-dried. The principal items
for last year were: Apples, 1900
pounds; apricots, 100000 (sun-dried
300, OO0); peaches, 100000. The crop of
peaches (all kinds, dried) was three
times what it was in 1884, and bids fair
TO be quadrupled in 1856. Evaporated
apples doubled the product of 1884.
Walnuts largely increased, and other
products in lesser degree, slight fall
ing off in the peanuts being noted on
account of low prices, All this is n
most gratifying exhibit, and gives
further evidence of the assured future of
the state as great fruit-producing
country. --SaH francisco CaN

How 10 Preserve Beauty.

1t is stated that well-known society
woman of Baltimore, who preserves her
beauty and freshness remarkably well,
despite her many seasons pursuit of cx-
element in the social whirl, attributes
her good fortune to the practice of drink
ing small cup of lukewarm water every
day on leaving her couch. So strong is her
faith in the efficacy of this remedy that
its omission is sure to cause depression
and languor. In speaking of this few
days ago well-kno~n matron of Balti-
more said: II have known many ladies
to be equally devoted to some article
which could not possibly have benefited
them except through their imagination.
One lady | know has Il glass of toast
water placed beside her bed by her
maid every morning. Another uses u
half tcaspoonful of tincturc of cinchona
in goblet of water; still another takes
pinch of table salt into her mouth be-
fore leaving bed. Lots of ladies resort
to such common articles as oranges and
lemons and apollinaris water, or to
cool plunge baths, but the most singular
freak | ever heard of was that of Phila-
delphia belle. who every morning regu-
larry gargled her throat with soapsuds
made of white CASTLE soap which she be-
lieved was absolutely necessary to the
preservation of her health. Baltimore
