Mr.. J. Ii. Clark Of Clarkton, came
down 10 the city yesterday on a
business trip, and Will be here a
day or two. Mr.. Clark tells rs that
the people in his section are very
uneasy about the myriads Of cater
pillars which have again made their
appearance along the Carolina Cen
trail railroad in Bladen coanty. He
says the caterpillers have literally
stripped whole forests of white and
black gum trees OF their leaves. so
that the trees are as uevold of foliage
as if it were mid winter. The cause
of alarm to the people, huwever, IS
that tue caterpillers have attacked
the fruit trees and it is feared they
will 90 great damage. It is also
appreheDded that they might turn
on the growing crops in the fields
and also bring about their utter de.
structiOn.

WILsoN.--WLsoN, May 1.-THE
democratic county convention passed
off harmoniously. Conservative and
preventative democrats were elect
ed delegates to the State convention.
No choice for Governor was express

terized by broad spirit Of liberalit7
and good feeling. The best of order
prevailed, and, SIS was truly said, it
was the most harmonious gathering

Master Works in Cookery.

If genuine Porkopolitan had wander
ed into the entrance of the Madison Square
Garden last night, he would have swelled
with pride In the centre, the most prom
inent among many interesting features,
four hogs were shown drawing a large
chariot of which still larger hog and two
little pigs We're the lazy occupants. The
American eagle was coachman. In the
great restaurant were displayed the greater
masterpieces of members of the Cooks
and Pastry Cooks Association, which came
before the public once more with its annual
display and ball.
A great Gothic tower, surmounted by
an old-fashioned windmill, was one of the
finest pieces. 1t was built entirely of
Drowned loaves of bread of different shapes
Another exhibit consisted of various kinds
of fish frozen inside large pure blocks of
ice. A lofty pyramid of boiled Holsters,
resting in a tub of water in which electric
lights were submerged, had startling
effect. Six large tables were covered with
the exhibits. Among the ambitious pieces
these were noted
A roast of corned capon, Richelieu style,
Illuminated by electricity, and ornamented
by small vessels filled with water, in which
live fish were disporting; the steamer
Fuerst Bismarck in pastry, huge repre-
sentation of race course, and Bastile
made of Vienna bread, all by Edward
Schelcher of the Metropolitan Hotel
Albert SchriebeF of the Purssell Company
exhibited Southdown sheep roasted whole,
fountain at Hansa, Germany, and an old
fort made of boned turkey. Fritz Schin-
dele of the Hotel Belvedere must have

panied by Henry Watterson, out sleighing.
Two porkers formed the motive power.

ing Germans, the Brooklyn Bridge, Madi-

Maryland's First Things.

Col. j. Thomas Scharf, in an interview
in the Baltimore American, in speaking Of
the many first things Maryland can boast
of, said A model of the first man-o-war
built for the United States. 1t was built
in Baltimore during the Revolution.
Maryland is famous for her fine quality
of hay The Cecil county hay which |
had on exhibition at New Orleans was the
finest speciment shown there and attracted
great deal of attention. 1t was revela-
ton to visitors from the South and West
and it was an evidence that our State was
well adapted for the raising of fine stock
While most persons think that Mary
land is very conservative and has never
done much for the country at large, the
fact is that she has been first in many
things.
For instance, the first American post
office was establishedhere; the first vessel
for the United States Navy was built here;
Commodore Barney hoisted the first Amer
lean flag here; the first official declaration
of independence was published by Mary
Katherine Goddard, of Baltimore; the first
steam land carriage-the predecessor of our
present railway system-was started here,
/ by Oliver Evans; the first electric engine
used in the United States was run here, on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad; the first
water-supply company established in the
United States was organized here the first
telegram, the first horse artillery, the first
steel writing pens-all belong to Maryland.
| We erected the first monument to Wash
ington; the first gas company originated
here; the Odd Fellows grew into being here
We organized the first passenger railway in
America, and the first national convention
was hel here The Red Men and the In
dependent Order of Red Men originated
here. The first regular steam vessel to
Europe started from Baltimore. The first
college of dental surgery, the first iron
building in America, the first Hoe revolv-
ing-cylinder presses, the first temperance
soci-ty, telegraph company and German
Liederkranz all belong to us, and the first
rolled armor,,for ironclads was manufactur-
ed in Baltimore, and used on the Monitor
Maryland has also been the first seat in
America of many religious denominations,
such as the Methodist Protestant, Indepen-
dent Methodists We built the first
American cathedral, and can claim the first
organization of Sisters of Charity. The first
Catholic seminary and the first colored sis
terhood were all started or organized here

gotten. The result is that employers now
endeavor only to get as much work out of
boys as they can, and take no interest in
teaching them anything in fact, boys in
workshops nowadays are looked upon as so
many necessary evils. When the employ
er ceases to be looked upon and respect
ed as teacher and educator, and only as
an employer, there is an end of any hope
for the proper instruction of boys in any
mechanical trade. The labor and trade
unions are much to be blamed for this
state of things in their unwise attacks on
the apprenticeship system. Times have
changed, and with them old methods have
passed away We doubt very much if
the newer methods are really an improve
ment Time will tell.

Story of a Union Parson,

FROM LOUISVILLE Conrler-Journal,
Dr. David Morton tells good war story
on DIR. Savage of the American Bible So

Just after the battle of Perryville, in
October, 1862, Dr. Savage was at one of
his appointments to baptize some children.
There was a large crowd, and sturdy
Southern matron brought her four children
to the altar "Name this child" said the
Union preacher laying his hand on the
boys head Simon Roliver Buckner, :"
was the reply, which caused a smile to come
over the congregation, but the brave preach
er went on with his duty.
"Name this child" taking the next in
order. "Pierre Gustave Toutant Beaure-
gard, and the smile grew into snicker,
while DIR. Savage became red in the face.
He baptized the young namesake of the
great engineer soldier and went on with the
ceremony. "Name this one, he gasped,
reaching for the third "Albert Sydney
Johnston" came the answer. The smile
became audible and the preacher apopleptic.
Heaving a sigh of relief, he took the fourth
child, girl, whose gender he fondly sup
posed would preclude continuation Of
heroic reproduction, and said "Name
this child" "Mary Stonewall Jackson

Facts About Black Ink.
From 81. Louis Globe Democrat.

No chemical black ink has yet been made
which will write black Immediately on ex-
posure. The common black ink is made
of nut-galls, and is by all odds the best ink
ever made, Manuscripts written in this
black iuk 500 and 600 years ago are just
as legible to-day as when first written. The
chemical inks Of the present are Of too re-
cent invention to determine whether they
will last; but it is quite probable that most
of them will be as legible at the end Of 80
or - years as they are to-day. There u.s.
however, fortune in store for the man
who will invent chemical black ink which
viii write black at first and remainso.
