A long WAY FROM HOME.

A recent article In New York paper
says Fulton fish market is an index
to the growth OF New York, as well as
indicative of the application OF scien-
tific principles TO business enterprise.
The red-fleshed salmon from the Pa
cinc, that lays fresh and rosy on the
huekster's stall, Its scales still cleaning
with iridescent light. illustrates forcibly
the immense possibilities OF rapid tran

motive, solves the problem, and gives 10

SCOTLAND VS.. KENTUCKY.

Kentucky is in trouble again, Her
sons never were taken with the queen
OF England. but now they have no use
for Victoria at all, 1t seems that the
queens ample appreciation OF Scotch
whislSey has rendered that beverage
fashionable in London, and is popular
izing II among the Anglomaniacs in
New York. Now every true American
who has tasted both knows that there
is no comparison between white Scotch
whiskey. with It's smoky flavor and the
"mountain dew" OF old Kentuck with
It's rich amber color and its exhiliarat-
ing "bouqueS" but IL the fad for Scotch
whiskey gets start there is no telling
to what limit the rage for imitation
may go.

COOKED FISH FOOD.

In a stream where trout have been
accustomed to be fed with bread 1t might
at first sight appear that they could
easily be taken by means of the stan
of life as q lure. Yet, though trout may
be taken for o. time by means of such
bait, they eventually learn to discrimin-
ate between the dangerous and an In
nocuous crust or crumb. There are
many pools In which the fish at no
period can be persuaded to take 1t as n
lure, however readily they may rush to-
ward 1t in its innocent state. Once they
have tasted bread, however, trout de-
velop q great partlality for it.
Why salmon should take boiled and
prepared prawns must ever remain
more or less of mystery. These as
suredly are the most unnatural Of foods
for them, yet in certain states Of the
water salmon, though rarely II ever sea
trout, succumb to It when they refuse
every other kind Of bait, and that too
in no half-hearted fashion, but with an
avldlty that is often marvellous. 1t is
the same with salmon roe, so far as
trout, sea trout and bull trout are con-
cerned, The smell probably has some>
thing to do with this forbidden fruit,
and in some such way the oil of a
heron's breast II sprinkled over worms,
is said to make them specially attrac-
tive. Whatever is is good seems to
be the motto of the feeding flsh,-Lon-
don Field.

THE NURSES DELIGHT.

Every experienced nurse knows the

an anodyne, will relieve soreness Of the

Just such q remedy are Allcock's Por-
GUS Plasters. Placed on the chest or on
the back, IL necessary cut into strips
and placed over the muscles of the
limbs, they work marvels in the way OF
soothing and quieting restlessness. Be
ing perfectly simple and harmless in
their composition. they can be used
freely. and many a sufferer has thanked
them for night of quiet rest, grateful
both to him and those who care for
him.

Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1894-12-31

The CHRISTMAS holidays being prac-
tically over in this State, for New Years
day never was generally observed here,
and is less so now than ever, the lavish
expenses prescriptively incident to the
festive season should cease, and economy
be the order of the day, so that there
may be something to spend next Christ
mas. IT, as is said, an American throws
away what would support a foreigner, a
Virgiuian wastes what man from some
ofthe other States could live upon. This
could be well-afforded in the good old
Virginia times, but, unfortunately, it is
not so now, and that q wilful waste
makes woeful want is as true here
now as it is any where else. Hospital
ity is most commendable quality, but
a wise man doesn't straiten himself TO
display it, for he is familiar with human
nature, and therefore, Byron's lines,
which he read when boy, are indelibly
impressed upon his memory
" g though to hall and bower
He gathered jewellers from far and near,
He knew these fiatterers of the festal hour,
The heartless parasites of present cheer"

products of the country on both sides
of the river to this market and carrying
back the goods of the merchants and
the manufacturers. The railroad facil-
lies are unequalled and lines extending
in every direction center here. These
are the Virginia Midland, the Wash
ington and Ohio, the Washington
Southern, the Chesapeake and Ohio,
the Manassas, and the Baltimore and
Ohio, which, with their connections,
bring Alexandria into direct communi-
cation with every section of the coun-
try. The importance of Alexandria
from a railroad standpoint was recently
show by the purchase by the Baltimore
aud Ohio Company of a desirable piece
of property directly on the water front,
and on which it is proposed at an early
date to erect depot and freight build
ings.
With such facts, and many others
which could be cited, it will be seen
that Alexandra will enter upon the
new year with much to encourage, and
with the prospect of beginning at
least of the rise its commercial i'm
portance, which has been so long look
ed for.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81.
Judge McComas TO day overruled the
demurrers filed by the attorneys of
Captain Howgate to the three indici-
ments returned by the grand jury.
Captain Howgate was then arraigned
and pleaded not guilty, but appended
further plea that the indictments were
not found within three years after the
alleged otfenses therein charged were
committed. The question as to whether
the indictments we're barred by the
statute of limitations was thereupon
argued.
Congressman Springer says caucus

ayers of the House told the GAzErTB's
correspondent this morning that no.
body expected the Senate would pass
the bill, but that if the provision in it
for untaxing State banks be retained,
he thought it would pass the House.

The Marine band will not supply the

BUILDING IN ALEXANDRIA,.

Though there has been q slight re-
tardipg of building in Alexandria dur
ing the closing year, in consequence of
the uncertainty which has prevailed
throughout the country during the past
eighteen months, we have hut little to
complain of in that line Seventy-nine
new houses have been added to the city
during the year, costing 100000, and
about $25, 900 snent in repairing houses
which had been previously erected.
But the most noticeable feature is the
growth just outside the city's limits
where houses enough to form small
towns have sprung up during the year.
The tracts of ground to the northwest
of the city are becoming thickly dotted
with houses and the building of as
many more is contemplated at the
opening of spring. The electric rail
way, which has had several miles of its
Washington extension built, now passes
through thickly settled sections after
leaving this city, and along its entire
line from the corporation limits houses
will be built and occupied before the
close of the coming year. The growth
of Alexandria, as has been stated be-
fore, is gradual and healthy, and there
is not street nor section of her
suburbs in which improvements are
not under way. In q walk through the
city, and especially along the out
skirts, the truth will strike any
observer. The city is expanding, of
course, more to the north, and as has
long been foreseen, the time will come
when Alexandria proper will be stretch
ed to Four-mile run. Water mains and
electric lights have already been ex-
tended almost to that point, while the
electric railway cars run within short
distance of it.

The OLD year will bid Us an eternal
goodbye tonight; the new, will bid US
good morning tomorrow. Let the dead
bury the dead. The King is dead
long live the King! Regrets are real
ly no vainer than hopes, but as they
make those who have to listen to them,
as we'll as those who express them,
miserable, they should give place to
hores, which cheer the possessor as well
as his friends, for, ''laugh and the world
laughs with you; cry, and you cry
alone" Therefore, let the bad of the
old year be forgotten, and let the good
of the new one be at least expected,
even though it may not come. The
old year taught lessons which the wise
will profit by in the new, and while de-
spondency never helped any body,
cheerfulness has benefited untold mil
lions. The writer of this paragraph
first learned the true philosophy of life
on sleety morning during the war,
