says the Star. This is the quezal of
Guatemala. It's plumage vies in bril-
liancy with the rainbow and shines
with metallic luster. Until within
the last few years it was unknown
to ornithologists, mainly owing to the
fact that it is hermit among feath-
cred creatures, delighting in the
silence of deserts. 1t dwells on
mountain heights above seven thou
sand feet in elevation. The quezal
was the royal bird of the Aztecs. Its
breast is brilliant scarlet, while its
green tail attains a length of three
feet. It's size is about equal to pig
con. It's plumes were utilized an
GENTLY for the adornment of head
dresses and for the famous feather
pictures of the Mexicans. 1t nestles
in holes in worm eaten trees, which
it enlarges with its bill SO as to form
a comfortable and roomy residence.
The young are Matched totally naked.
It is the hardest of all birds to pre-
pare for stufing, because the skin
tears like SO much tissue paper and
the feathers are implanted to so slight
a depth that they readily fall out. A
specimen is very apt to be spoiled by
falling against branch on being shot.
Up to 1860 naturalist did not know
where the quezal was to be found.
The few specimens which had fallen
into their hands were obtained from
the Indians of Guatemala, who kept
the secret. About that time, how
ever, a collector visiting that country
got on the track, went up into the
mountains and shot number of the
birds. It is said that in ancient times
the skins of all birds of this species
that were killed belonged by law to
the king, and nobody outside OF the
royal family were permitted to wear
the plumes. The quezal belongs to the
family of trogons. This genus includes
forty-six species, thirty-three of which
are American. All of them are very
beautiful.

The Most Beautiful of Birds.

In the Smithsonian building at
Washington is exhibited one particu-
larly perfect specimen of the most
beautiful bird in the world. While
it's coloration is as brilliant as that of
any humming bird, its superior size
renders it more attractive to the eye,

of this city in equlpages of many KINDS
and styles assembled at the grounds OF
the Episcopal High School yesterday
evening to witness the football match
between the Pantops team, from the
aeademy near Charlottesville, and the
High School team. At the appointed
hour the two teams appeared upon the
grounds, the Pantops distinguished
by black and red stockings and the
High School by plain red. Both teams
were loudly cheered. The first half OF
the game was so closely contested that
II ended without either side scoring;
When time was called for the second
half the Pantops' captain protested, as
a heavy rain was threatened, but he
was oyerruled and the game proceeded.
This half ended in the rain in a score
Of y 10 0 in favor of the High School.
The teams were not evenly matched,
the Pantops being the lighter men, but
Inc game throughout was well played.
After the game the visiting team was
handsomely entertained by the High
School team.

The B. & 0. RAILROAD BUILDINGS
Little or nothing is now heard of the
depot building and freight warehouses
which in the summer it was stated the
B. & O. r. r. company would erect in
this city this fall. The company dur
ing the summer purchased lot on the
river front, south of the Pioneer Mill,
on which to erect suitable buildings,
secured the passage by the City Coua-
Gil of special acts allowing them certain
street aud railroad privileges, &C., and
later sent engineers here to draw plans
of the proposed buildings, tracks, &C.,
but since then the matter seems to have
been forgotten. Although the city vir-
tually has the advantages Of q B. & o.
connection, yet many of the merchants
think that additional advantages will
result if the company erects and owns
its own buildings here and the general
hope is expressed that the idea of max
ing this city a terminus of that road
has not been abandoned by its officers
but that the building will be erected at
an early date.

A SEA SERPENT IN THE POTOMAC
Just before the transfer tugboat Brew
erton made her landing in this city
about twelve o'clock on Thursday night
and while the boat was between the
Vulcanizing Company's wharf and her
slip, deck hand noticed an elongated
specimen of the ophidian creation in
the river making a spiral motion to-
ward the tug. The man viewed the
object with some interest and finally
called to the fireman to come and see
the object of his attention. The latter
emerged from the fire room with his
lantern, and by this time the creature
was in close proximity to the boat. The
fireman placed his lantern on the rail in
order to throw the light alongside the
tug, when he was startled TO see SER
pent about eighteen feet long, as thick
in places as stove pipe, with head
as large as that of a puppy, making to-
ward the light. He relaxed his hold
upon the lantern and it tumbled into
the river. and he beat a hasty retreat
toward the fire room. Nothing could
be seen of the reptile after the tug had
been made fast in the dock. Some
think huge anaconda has escaped
from a museum and has, like the seal
which was liberated last summer, taken
up his abode in the Potomac. Others,
however, who believe in the existence
of sea serpents. cite the adventure Of
the fireman and the deck hand as an
incontrovertible argument that the sea
is inhabited by huge ophidians and that
one of them has taken up its abode in
fresh water.

REV. T. II. RICE delivered the first
of series of sermons Thursday night
at the Westminster church. He Sc
lected his text from st. Matthew III
Thou shalt call his name Jesus for he
shall save his people from their sins"
Mr.. Rice called the attention of the
people to the fact that the Old Tesla
ment is always looking forward; that
its history its prophecies its psalms all
looked forward to the coming of the
Saviour. His reference to the signifi
canoe Of names in the Old Testament
was beautiful and his illustrations were
apt and forcible throughout. the
S.viour's people were not any particul r
class or race but simply sinners. Mr..
Rice's style is not oratorical but earn
est and conversational, and his ideas
are expressed with force and clearness.

a WELL. STOCKED MARKET.-The
market this morning teemed with sea-
sonable products, more country people
than usually seen on Saturday morning
bsing present. There were fine dis
plays of almost everything, arranged
temptingly, and it was no trouble for
those possessing the necessary where
vithal to provide elaborate larders for
the midday Sunday meal. There was
an abundance of dressed poultry, of all
kinds, from the razor-breasted chicken
10 the plump young gobbler, and prices
varied considerably. The best drawn
turkeys were held at 15c per pound,
and undrawn at 10a12. Its, of course,
much cheaper to buy the former, there
being no economy in paying II cents a
pound for intestines which have to be
discarded besides the flavor of the
bird is by no means as good after the
visceral apparatus is allowed to remain
for days. Some fine specimens of geese
were to be seen for which soc piece
was asked. Dressed chickens were
selling all the way from % to SOC a
piece, and the supply seemed in excess
of the demand. Dressed ducks, plump
and fat, and looking very toothsome,
were held at SOC piece. The market
seemed to be overstocked with rabbits.
Twelve cents each was charged for
them, but lower prices prevailed before
the sun got very high. A few squiI"
rcls were offered at 10c each. Other
game was very scarce. Some
cartridges were offered at 81 per
dozen. Vegetables were plentiful.
Cabbage ranged from 4 to Sc,
Irish potatoes Sc per quarter peek,
sweet potatoes &c, kale sc, spinach Sc,

plentiful. Most of them were held at

at 1Sc per pound. Dressed pork was in
abundance at loo per pound. There
was fine display of fresh fish. Some
saltwater trout as large as Goldfish
were selling at 10c per pound, and
smaller ones at 25c per bunch, Tailors,
black bass, rock, white and yellow
perch and butter fish were also 25c per
bunch. The supply of butchers meats
was about the same as last week. Beel
