A Paradise Found in Patagonia.

Not long ago Patagonia was believed
to be one of the most desolate and unin-
viting parts of the world. We have
learned within the past three years, how
ever, that great deal of Patagonia is
not to be judged by the bleak and YER
dureless Atlantic sexboard. The Argen-
tine military expeditions have brought
home some astonishing reports, which
are now supplemented by the discover
les of Col. Fontaaa.
This gentleman, the Argentine gov
srnor Of the Chubut province, has just
explored the Chubat river from Its
mouth on the Atlantic coast to its head
streams in the Gordillefas, travelling 1900
miles, and crossing in various directions
large region extending $50 miles south
of 40 south latitude, In letter which
the president of the Argentine Republic
received from him few weeks ago, Col,
Fontana said that he had discovered
many fertile valleys, well-watered plains,
immense tracts Of rich pasturage, q
number OF lakes, and extensive forests
containing trees Of unusual size.
II have found, he writes, new land:
of superior quality, web adapted fol
colonization and cattle raising, with 6
heaIthful climate, an abundance Of
wood, and useful minerals. This region
l believe, is destined to become one o.
the most beautiful and prosperous part
of the Argentine possessions" - N. Y

The Farms of Old Virginia.

In the first first place, each family has
its little domain, and, however small, it
has an imposing English name, just as if
it were an earldom. Somerset, Richland,
Aberdeen, l ennox, and Wayside are a
few of the names Of small farm-houses
nesting in the Stafford pines and sur
rounded by thousands of acres partially
cultivated lands. These houses are all
frame, generally two stories high, and
the poorest of them is surrounded by a
lawn, through which runs one or more
carriage drives. One would expect to
see castles when coming in view of the
beautiful lawns and the .centrried oaks,
and would feel disappointed at the little
white houses at the end of the drives
but there is a sort of rustic harmony in
the picture after all. Seated in the YER
andas at evening and looking out on the
oak canopied swards, you would forget
the absence of the castle, and, if you
were an Englishman, fancy yourself
amidst the lime trees on one Of the grand
old estates across the water.-Virginia

The publication of cheap books in Eng
land, as well as here, has led to a mar
velous improvement in the character of
the works issued for popular circulation.
Instead of the familiar penny dreadfuls
and shilling shockers, the cream of Eng
lish literature is now found in the book
stalls and on the railway news stands al
a price accessible to all. A strange
feature of the change is that American
writers now compete in England with

Cruising partie, and Leased Yachts.

There must be large semi fashionable
floating population around New York
during the summer season. All over the
harbor and up the sound, as far as
Greenwich, you will find yachts, varying
from $500 sloops to $4,000 schooners,
anchored in quiet bights and inlets, and
serving as lodgings for their owners and
their owners families. On the larger
vessels men and women live, sailing
from place to place as the humor catches
them. On the smaller ones bachelor
parties hold merry revel. These latter
are nearly always young men in business
in the city, who attend to their occupa-
ton by day, and go cruising from Satur-
day till Monday. Many of these merely
lease yacht for the season. They keep
the pantry full of cold meats and easily
prepared canned stuff, and take their
able bodied meals ashore. One seaman
serves to help them sail their craft and
to take care of it when they are in the
city. 1t does not cost them much, ii
anything, more than to pay room rent
and board ashore and they have great
deal more fun when the temperature is
high.-Ala2ed Tumble in N. Y. News.

Greek Royalty on Roller Skates.

King George of Greece, who is said to
be tired of his throne, is one of the most
popular monarchs in Europe, He is the
son of the king of Denmark, and has al
ways sighed after the climate and scenes
of his northern home. For the first few
years of his reign he was specially incon-
solable for the lack of skating facilities,
but finally had a roller skating rink
erected near the royal stables. Every
afternoon he dons his roller skates and,
accompanied by Queen Olga, gives him
self up to his favorite sport for an hour.
Her majesty frequently joins him in his
amusement, and excels him in skill and
dash. Only privileged few are allowed
to witness.this royal recreation. After
their skating bout their majesties hasten
to the palace and dine with their entour-
age, but occasionally en- famille.-Chi-

when bacteria Are Most Numerous.

During what portion of the day are
bacteria or organic germs most numer-
ously present in the atmosphere? Mons.
Miguel, a member of the Paris Society of
Public Medicine, has been trying to dis
cover the true answer to this question,
and he has found the number largest be-
tween and 8 O'Clock in the morning,
and smallest at about 2 o'clock in the
afternoon. In the night he finds also a
maximum at 2 and minimum at 2.
These results would indicate that the
best times to open a house for ventilation
would be o'clock in the afternoon and
o'clock in the morning. This is well
enouh in summer, but the early ventila-
ton will hardly be favorable in winter.

The Novel as q Protection.

Many good standard novel has been
known to drag out miserable existence
at watering place resort where it has
served merely to chaperone the owner
whenever she left her room to sit on the
piazza or in the public parlor. A book
keeps bores at bay. Its covers protect
the reader almost as well as castle walls,

Packing Fruit in California.

Imagine the labor of picking, packing
and shipping SO vast a quantity of fruit.
Nicely and care must mark every step
in the proceedings. Not an individual
pan be packed with the stem removed,
especially if the boxes are to cross the
continent, or be sent to Oregon or Wash
mgton or British Columbia. Not one
bruised in the slightest degree must steal
into the box, lest, like bad boy among
his fellows, it shall affect all the others
In packing nearly all the fruits the
empty boxes are turned top down ON the
tables, with the cover securely nailed
on. A layer of the fruit-cherries, for
instances then placed in regular, even
rows on the cover, with stems all stand
ing. This gives to the fruit when
opened an orderly appearance which ar
rests the eye, and in nine cases out of
ten makes the looker-on feel that he
wants that fruit. The cherries are now
laid in carefully between the upright
stems and until the box is full. Now
the bottom cover is applied and the box
turned over and branded, if that has not
already been done. Thus, you perceive,
that the packing of fresh fruit is thing
in the world which is done from the
top up San Francisco Cor. Cleveland

The Triumph Would BE Brief.

It is practicable to-day for an ironclad
to enter our harbors and lay our seaports
under tribute, but the triumph would be
brief and the insult would be amply re-
Quilted. We can quickly defend our sea-
ports, and, as for invasion and perma-
nent occupation of our territory, Europe
combined could not successfully accom-
plish it. At this moment our standing
army is small, but in a week we can con-
centrate at any point of attack 100000
well-equipped and Observation-Disclosures,
not surpassed to-day by any infantry in
the world. In the war between the
states over 8, 200, 900 soldiers were enrolled
in the opposing armies. Many of them
still survive, and will fight shoulder to
shoulder against an invading army, and,
animated by patriotic emulation in re-
pelling a common enemy, the world in
arms can not conquer us.-Gen. d. II.

A conf, renee of . joint committee
appointed by the striking brick-mould'
ers and tho Brick Makers Association
Of Richmond and Manchester was held
yesterday afternoon with reference to
settling the existing differences between
the two. 1t will be remembered that
about the LIST of June the moulders 10
Manchester demanded an increase from
"a to S. FOR making 5000 bricks, and,
their demands not being acceded to,
they went out on strike. Those
Of Rockets followed the example
in short time. In the confer
ence yesterday the moulders stuck to
their former demand and refused to
agree to any other settlsment-thus
leaving the matter open as it has been
for several weeks. The manufacturers
MAINTAIN that the present prices and de-
mand for bricks will not justify making
the increase. The moulders, on the
other hand, claim that they can only
work during the summer months and
that their wages are below those Of
other skilled workmen.
All Of the yards Of Richmond and
Manchester are virtually idle except
that Of Mr.. Rollins, who, on account Of
being under contract to build the Union
depot in specified time, was granted
permission by the Association to en-
ploy men at the advanced prices. Some
of the yards have a few non-union mer
employed burning the bricks which were
moulded before the strike begun.

at the Male Orphan Asylum, took place
yesterday afternoon. The several parts
of the programme taken by the boys
showed that they had done well during
the past year under the admirable man
agement Of the principal, Mrs. Joseph
X. Gill, and the teacher, Mr.. Ander-
son. The medals and awards of merit
were delivered by Mr.. Robert E. Rich
ardson, secretary of the Board, who,
in handing them out, bad good word
of advice to each boy as he came up.
Mr.. James A. Gentry, of the State,
also made few remarks, humorous
and practical. Altogether it was a
very enjoyable affair.
