CLOSE INVITATIONS OF NATURE
Some Marvellous Specimens Of Skin for the
Worlds Fair.

Some Marvellous Specimens Of Skill Tor the
Worlds Fair.
WASHINGTON, March N-One Of the most
interesting portions OF the Agricultural De-
partment's exhibits at the Worlds Fair
will be the models of plants illustrating the
attacks of the various insects and diseases
which destroy them. To make these
models, which have to be absolutely true to
nature, two English artists Of marvellous
ability have been engaged. They are brother
and sister, and in this work far excel all
others. having taken medals for their work
at the Worlds Fair held in London in 1851,
and at frequent intervals since. The models
of fruits are made of wax. and such remark
able skill has been exercised in their manu-
facture that it is only by the closest scrutiny
that they are to be told from the real article.
One specimen; q piece of an apple contain
center, is so perfect that, when compared
with the original, not the slightest d11er-
ence can be detected. Even when
same spots as in the real apple.
Marvellous dexterity is shown in making the
most delicate leaves in the most perfect
manner. A very skillful piece OF work Dy
ear DESTROYED by worms. The husk Is
stripped back, exposing an ear with the
silk hanging down. The stalk is a work OF
art. but the ear is perfect in ITSELF The
destruction of q potato vine by potato bugs
is another very skilfully executed piece OF
work, though the bugs are SO natural that 1t
is rather unpleasant.
The department. will have many other in
teresting articles on exhibition. A case OF
reels, cocoons and other articles pertaining
to silk culture has been lately received from
Japan. which of itself will form an interest
ing display, as silk culture is being success
fully carried on this country. Quite num-
ber of cases of small animals will also be
placed on exhibition in this departments.
These will be arranged in the most realistic
manner possible. the pose of the animals
and the construction of their dwellings
being closely copied from nature. One case
on an apple tree. Close by is an English
sparrow, waiting to take the bee from him
as soon as he has a chance. The whole is so
realistic that one almost expects to see the
sparrow dart at the robin and fight for his
breakfast in the case.

EATEN UP BY THE LAWYERS.
How an Estate Valued at $4,000 Dwindled
Away in the Courts.

PHILADELPHIA, March 27.-Mrs. George
Hutchins, of Ancona, Camden county, whose
husband died about year ago, leaving
property valued at $30,0OO was sent to the
almshouse at Blackwood yesterday as a
pauper Mr.. Hutchins was Spiritualist
He took great interest in the 1atter's book,
Progress and Poverty" and left the bulk of
his property to Mr. George for the purpose
of disseminating the book.
Mrs. Hutchins was left a dover and en-
gagged counsel to contest the will. The case
was carried from court to court until the en-
tire estate was eaten up. The courts de-
cided that tine will, although unnatural in
its provisions, must stand. At the last set
tlernent it was found that Mr.. George would
only receive about $500 Of the fortune. That
sum is now in dispute between Mr.sGeorge
and his attorney, against whom Mr.. George
has brought suit.

IT is amusing to find that the articles Of

To the Editor or The Dispatch,
Our grandsires pledged their lives, their
fortunes and their sacred honor and raised
the starry flag. In the upper room of the
old Beitler scnoolhouse in the Valley Of
Liberty, where my father, o Know Nothing,
divulged to his lodge certain Information he
received in q Kentucky lodge, which caused
q break and sent one wing to lafayette Hall
on Wood street, to organise the Republican
party, I first Joined the Union League. With
my hand upon the Bible, resting on the col
ors Of the Seventy-seventh p. ", pledged
my life, nv fortune and my sacred honor in
support Of the Constitution Of the United
States of America An that am, all that
have. or may ever have, stands pledged in
behalf Of
The nag Of the free hearts only home,
BY angels hands to valor given.
Whose stars have Lit the welkin dome,
And every hue is born Of Heaven.
By that lodge room act I indorsed every
greenback that has ever been issued, every
coin, gold or silver, that has ever been
coined in our mints, every United States
bond. wherever It may be, and every silver
certificate we have thus far issued or may
ever issue. believe that every dollars
worth of property, real and personal, in the
same general principle. and that inasmuch
as we have but 1000 oo0, 900 OF money and
sec, 600 900, 900 of property. we should not hes
itate to coin at least 81 900 900 900 more and is
sue certificates thereon. We would even then
have ], 500 per cent margin as security on the
back of notes and as q Government have
possession of the coin.
The amount of money in the United States
at present is about 81 900 900 600 The popu-
lation is about GO, ,000, 900. The value of prop
erty, real and personal. is bout $50 000 900 900.
The coming Of 50. 900 900 of silver per month
seems like a good deal of money: 1t makes
$50. 600, 900 per year, but that is but go cents
per capita ian increase of cents per month
for each of our people). / have observed
since within a short time after specie
payments were resumed some years ago,
tnat gold was a very Objectionable money
everybody got rid OF the gold piece as soon
as possible. Have seen thousands of in
stances where folk asked to have paper in
stead OF gold coin.
With assets of Cos, 900 600, 900 in excess of all
the several moneys now in use by our people
we can very safely indorse all the silver GER
tifcates that will ever be issued This will
probably bring the bullion value of silver
up, and will not be at all surprised If it be-
comes difficult matter to make any pay
ment of large amount in gold even at par, as
1t seems quite possible that the holder of
gold money may be laughed at, and asked
either to furnish paper or stand discount
on the stuff he proposes to pay for the goods.

WASHINGTON, Pa. March N.-tSpecidL i
The organization known as the Was hington
County Owl and Hawk Extinction Society,
which sprang into existence about two
months ago. has thrown up the sponge for
lack of funds. The association offered to
pay 81 tor the scalp of every owl or hawk
killed in the county.
For several weeks the destruction of these
birds was carried on merrily, hundreds
being slaughtered. The association has
been steadily opposed by few authorities
on birds, who claim that both owls and
hawks, except few species, are of real
benefit to the farmers.

THE factional strife among the Ohio Re-
publicans may be lively, but it can be easily
exaggerated beyond its true value. One side
or the other may win the control of a politi-
cal committee; but when it comes to an i'm
portant national or State election, the Ohio
Republicans have habit of generally turn
ing in and seeing the best man selected for
the place. If the Ohio Democrats had done
as well, the era of Thurman and Groesbeck
would not have been succeeded py that Of
Payne and Brice.

THE most remarkable piece of pro-
gressive work that has been done in munich
pal administration tor 100 years was done n
few weeks ago in that Tory city, London. /
mean the election to membership in the
County Council of body of men who stood
for the votes of the people upon platform
of municipal control of all local monopolies
and direct tax on land values for public i'm
provements.
The London City Council is the most nota-
BILE legislative body in municipal politics to-
day. They have accounted it as their task
and their responsibility to govern London
in the interests of all its citizens. They have
provided open spaces, and public gymnasi-
unis and baths, and bands of music in the
parks. They have secured decency in word
and dress in all the music halls of London.
They have regulated the traffic in alcoholic
poison. They have proceeded against 70,OOO
users of false weights and measures and 700
fraudulent coal dealers. They have pur-
chased a 15-aere slum, a great moral swamp
in the midst of London, and have set about
draining it. and shutting up its open doors
into the internal regions.
And now they are setting out again, with
the encouragement of public appreciation,
to do what public body ought to do, to see
that every citizen has light and air and pure
water. and a decent place to live in, and
honest justice. And they are going to take
into their hands, as trustees of the whole
city, the gas monopoly, and the water mo-
nopoly, and the street car monopoly. And
the people whose land increases in value in
proportion to the Improvements made in the
city are going to pay, as they ought to pay,
for these Improvements.
That 1t seems to me, is the most encour-
aging and beneficial kind of progress that
can be imagined. And that is taking place,
dot, where it ought to be expected, in this
63ountry, where we think we have govern
iRent by the people, of the people, and for
tie people, but in the most progressive
lhtion of the race-ih England.
