An exhibition of articles made under ine ervision of the Labor Exchange was in- Aupurated last evening by a fair aid tusieal | entertainment, at the rooms of the Exchange, | 621 C at Cecelia, Young 7 Misses eCall, generally suppli eal portion in a highly creditable and accepta- | ble manner. On entering, a stand supplied with the | liest of flowers, by one of our popular florists, are evidence of great taste. Adjoining sat{Mrs. Mareham,the accomplisied lace maker, a resident for many years of 1) vi y. Onher lap she had a huge pillow, with innumerable pins, and bobbins attached to fine thread, which the old lady was manip- ulating into the finest of English lace, with a dexterity truly wonderful. Of course she proved especially to the ladies a constant source of attraction. On the table beside her was a collectionof lace made by different la- | dies in this city, which would do credit to any biishment, and should find ready sale, and compared favorably with the hundred dollar handkerehief made_abroad, also on exhibi- tion on this table. On the next table we find the results of an attempt made by the Labor Exchange to introduce the art of China deco- rating as ameans of livelihood. The accom- plished young teacher and artist, Miss Cas- paris, and her assistants, have certainly pro- duced work’ of a highly artistic character— work that for gelieacy and beanty of design surpasses much we have seen exhibited in eastern cities, and is quite equal to some of finer work done abroad. The decorative work of Mrs. Davis and Miss Gilfillan deserves aiso special mention on account of its exquisite ex. ecution and tastefulness of design siderable portion of the China exhi ready sale. Some excellent miniature por- Miss Chester were also greatly ai: on Which were arranged artistically a variety of seed bags,car ticket and druggists’ enveloy put up for the trade, and as to workmanship quite equal to he market. These were all manutac- tured by the Labor Exchange upon the prem- ises, under the supervision of Mrs. J. C. Hitz. the superintendent, and her efficie fore- woman, Miss Maggie Thomas. Considerable over a million of these paper bags and envel- opes have been made, giving employment off and on to some twenty-five or «girls. In time, with additional f machinery and’ appliances, this will no doubt, through the persevering efforts of the i able superintendent, expand into an e industry creditable to the city and peculiarly adapted for a place like Washing- ton, where so unusually large number of en- velopes and paper bags are made use of. The table containing fancy work was literally loaded with all kinds of work the ingenuity of woman could devise and skilled fingers could shape—the articles being all sold direetly for the benefit of the makers without charge of any kind. : Among. those present we noticed as. particu larly intere: Commission who is t pate > nator Howe and family, Mr. Wilson and other: The Labor Exchange has certainly evineed a com. mendable ater se during the short time it I i istence, and it behooves every sires to promote the industrial ity, and at the same time les- ress and poverty existing for want of employment. to call and see what the Labor Exehange is doing and assist in further- ing its praiseworthy object: introducing new industries, thereby giving employment to the bsg a and so affording the most effective relief to the deserving poer of the city.

January and February of that year were remarkably springlike, and flowers were in bloom anid the fruit trees in bud early in Mareb. In April there was a tremendous snow-storm in this state, at least four feet of snow failing at various points. The storm extended to Penn- $/lvania, New ‘sey and Massachusetts. In woston, New York. Fort Jervis, Poughkeepsie, Pottsville, Philadelphia and Trenton the depth. of snow was three feet; in Franklin, N four feet, and in Paris, Va., one foot: fell without intermission durin twenty-four hours, and was followed by a blinding Storm of wind and hail, which caused great injury to shipping along the coast. A similar storm has been predicted for April of this year. Dr. Falb, a Chilian meteorologist, annowunced last December that great atmospheric disturbances were to be expected from the 18th to the 25th of March, and from the 13th to the 1sth of April, or possibly two days previous to those dates. He predicted that in the mountains of Europe and the United States there would be snow in April, and also between the 26th and 28th of Augus' N. ¥. Tribune. Dipn’t THINK IT Was LoaDED—OF Course. Charles Welsh, 12 years of age, was put on trial at Philadelphia yesterday, charged with manslaughter, in having fatally shot a com- panion named MeAdams on the ilth instant. From the testimony it appeared that . the defendant did not think that the pistol would 0 off at the time he pointed it at the deceased. and the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty. The case, however, has excited much feeling, and the habit of boys carrying dangerous weapons calls forth in this connection general denunciatio | lishment of his shattered home and the r Ag Kyan & Geary isiana, have brought Pitkin and Jack Wharton, damages frowing out of alleged illegal ures of logs taken from private lands which had been purchased by plaintiff. 4%Gen.

This Mr. Tilton re- fused to do, but offered to live together again quietly and say nothing about any confession or retraction on either side. The geutleman had it from pretty good authority. he said that Tilton had a long interview with his w recently—within a few weeks—and that as a result of that interview Mrs. Tilton was sick for several days afterward and that the re. sult was that definite arrangements had been made whereby they were soon to be reunited as man and wife and go to Europe togethe: In regard to that ring to a conf ing Mr. Beecher, the present Mrs.Tilton had no confession to make. t was his opinion, however, that. Tilton’s only object was to get possession of his wife for the purpose of using her s to erush Beecher wit 2 fig for heronly so far as he could use her in the future for thi Purpose and that no mater what he might say, that was undoubtedly hi ultimate object. What the result would ‘be Was impossible at present to predict. He said, he thought Mr. Beecher knew all about the contemplated movement, and that he did not seem to be particularly worried about it. In conclusion, the gentleman referred to the ii fluence which Mr. Tilton exercised over hi wife prior to their separation, and said th: he had no doubt anticipated the regaini that influence whenever he got her under his control.
