The Oxfordshire Agricultural society’s an- nual show being held in Blenheim park sug- gested the idea of opening the orchid houses to the inspection of the public on May 22 and 23. Acharge was made for admission, with the result that a handsome balance will be handed over to the gardener’s orphan fund, his grace the duke of Marlborough having generously acceded to the request of his gardener (Mr. T. Whillans) in this respect. In the Melon house, 70 feet long, no fewer than 217 fruits were to be seen in various stages, and some had been cut. The variety is a seedling of Mr. Whillans’, being a cross be- tween Golden Perfection and fiero of Lock- inge. The fruits weigh from 4 to 5 pounds each, are globular, fairly well-netted yellow skin, pale green flesh and sugary. The ‘plants were started at the endof February In an adjoining house was a heavy crop of tomatoes on plants sown at the end of the summer, In the large house usually devoted to Cattle- yas there were massed representatives of other showy genera. At one end was a pair of On- cidium Marshallianum, one having 105 and the other 117 flowers. At the other end of the house was a fine specimen Lelia purpurata Blenheimensis, a very dark form; and an equally fine plant of L. purpurata was arranged near it by way of contrast. Springing from out of the rockwork facing the door were some stout spikes of Cymbidium Lowiannum, With a stream of persons passing through, it was im- possible to note the details as to variety, form, or colors, but a few notes were made of the most conspicuous «subjects met with in the eighteen orchid houses. Of Lwllas there were fully fifty pieces of purpurata, furnished with from ‘six to ten Spikes ench. The Dendrobes were a very showy section, the plants of D. Wardianum carrying each about thirty flowers, and large paantities of D. Jamesianum had fourteen lowers on a single growth: about a dozen speci- mens of this species had each over 220 flowers. One noble example of D. Thyrsifloram had twenty-six spikes. and on a plant of D. Bry- merianum were twenty-eight flowers; besides these there were many other well-flowered lots. ‘The Cattleyas were numerous. Of C. Law- renceana about a hundred spikes were carrying seven to twelve flowers each, and of C. Men- delii 150 plants had each eight spikes, while several specimens yet to flower showed eigh- teen or twenty sheaths each. The Mossiw set was equally strong, with eight spikes to a | Sard one grand example being furnished with forty-five sheaths; then C. Schroder@ and C. citrina were present, filling the air with their odors. Acharming bit of pandu- rata had thrown up four a The Oncidiums included a lot of pretty forms in flowers, but the crush of visitors pre- vented a close examination. Of Odontoglossum cisrosmum there was a batch of fully 300 spikes, some with branching spikes carry thirty flowers. O. Harryanum, O. zili, 0.’ crispum, O. Pescatorei, O. Rossi, and O. vexillarium were a show of themselves; and of the lastnamed 120 spikes rresaeenned. and more than double that number yet to open. Of O. crispum about 2.000 spikes were peshing up, 800 being already in flower.

Solomons, vice-president of the National Red Cross association, has received a letter from Miss Clara Barton, the president, dated yesterday, from Johnstown, Pa., in which she says: “In regard to sending more supplies here, I should not like to take the responsi- bility of checking the flow of charity in this direction, The troubles are yet too fresh, The stricken people live in houses not their own, dozens ina room. The clothing they receive cannot be washed for lack of conveniences and must be lost and replaced many times before they are in suitable homes for its preservation, The bounty of the people seems to have been uumeasured, but the need also was measureless, Relating to the erection of a woman's hospital asa branch, or annex, to the Red Cross, this might be very well considered if the necessities for hospital should increase. At present the Red Cross has a new, fine hospital of its own, which seems to cover all the necessities really in the city. Its plans are ample and its site beautifully chosen, The medical force at pre- sent is surely ample for the needs. There are excellent ladies bere as physicians and nurses, and these are employed in relieving the physi- cal needs of the people. There seems to be ear ground for reasonable hope that the ealth of the city may be maintained. but, if by any misfortune this should failjand there should be need of more medical service than 18 already here, I am sure the Red Cross, with one accord, would be the first to sound the note of warning and call for help from any field, regardless of sect or sex.” ——-—_ THE SACRED HEART ACADEMY. Distinctions Conferred Upon Pupils at the Commencement last Evening. The commencement exercises of the Sacred Heart academy took place yesterday evening at St. Dominic’s hall. A large audience greeted each number of the program with ap- preciative applause, The salutatory was grace- fully delivered by Miss Grace Johnson.

It is not Cruelty to Animal ion in the Criminal Court. Rees Alexander F, McMasters, a veterinary sur- geon, was acquitted to-day in the Criminal Court on a charge of cruelty to animals, This was an appeal from the Police Court—Mr. Shil- lington prosecuting and Mr. Chapin Brown for the defendants. The specific charge is that on March 13, 1888, the defendant docked the tails of two horses of Mr. Herbert, of the British legation, The testimony showed that about two inches of the cartilage at the end of the tail had been clipped, It was claimed for the defense that the operation was not painful to the hors: Dr. McMasters testified that horse’s tails were unnecessary in their domestic state, and that they should be artificially protected from flies. This morning Mr. Brown announced his case closed and moved the court to direct a verdict of not guilty, arguing that the legislature did not contemplate the docking of a horse’ tail in the act under which the charge was brought. THE COURT DIRECTS A VERDICT OF ACQUITTAL, The court (Judge Bradley) said that any act affecting the right to property should be con- strued strictly. The act was intended to stop the wanton, unnecessary torture of beasts, and he asked if this was a case under the act. The right of the owner of an animsi to so treat it as to fit it for his use has beeu recognized, and the right to dock a horse had been recognized, ‘The operation itself is not a cruel one, as is apparent from the testimony, the pain amount- ing toa slight cut of the finger. The pain was not as severe as that occasioned by branding, and the right to brand is recognized. There was not suflicient evidence to justify a verdict of cruelty to animals, There’ is left the ques- tion of mutilation. If the legislature intended to include this class of cases it should have expressed it, for it was a well-known practice atthe time of the passage of the act. The legislature had not included it in the act. He directed a verdict of not guilty, which was rendered, ———E Public Amusements.

Accident at a Barn-Ralsing—Struck by Lightuing—Political—Improvements. Correspondence of Tar EVENING STAR. Rockvitxe, June 19, 1889. Yesterday evening an accident occurred on the farm of Mr. Chas. Veirs, about two miles | West of this place, which badly injured Mr. Ed- ward Hendiey and a colored man named Ad. Washington, These two, with a number of others, were engaged in raising a barn, when the support of a derrick gave way, causing the heavy timbers to fall to the ground and eatch- ing the two men under them. Hendley was badly bruised about the body and had one hand mashed. He is supposed to be injured internally, as he has been spitting blood since. Washington was also badly bruised about the head and body. Both were knocked senseless at the time and supposed to be fatally burt, Tuesday morning Mr. Chandler Keys, rosid- ing a mile north of this place, discovered that atiock of twenty-five sheep ina fielda short distance from his house had all been killed by lightning during a storm the evening before. A cow in the same field was also injured, but will recover. Mr. Wm. Dove, near Middle- brook had a cow killed by lightning during the same storm. ‘Two more aspirants for places on the demo- cratic ticket have made their appearance—Mr. G. Minor Anderson for county surveyor and Mr. R. S, Umstead as county commissioner for the third collection district. Dr. J. R. Batson, of the fifth district, is also an aspirant for the house of delegates on the same ticket. Mr. Gus. Nicholson left Barnesville afew days ago to join a surveying party in Mexico, and will be absent for several months. Mr. T. C, Groomes, of Rockville, has made a contract with Mrs, Eliza Dillehunt, former! of Chicago, for the erection of a large dweli- ing-house at Randolph station, on a lot recently purchased of Mr. Elias Keiser. The building will be of modern cottage style, two and a half stories high and contain eleven rooms, The exterior will have front and side verandas and bay window, and the side hall on the interior will extend through the building. The house will be completed by the Ist of November and will be one of the finest improvements on the line of the Metropolitan Branch railroad, For several days past quite a sum of money bas been contributed by the citizens of this place and other towns in the county for desti- tute persons on the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. Wheat harvest has commenced in some parts of the county, but the long wet spell -vill render the use of self-binders and other heavy ma- chinery very difficult, the ground being atu rated with water. 8.

The iawn tennis season, which may be said to be now in full swing, will this year run ite course—or, at least, the earlier portion of it— under conditions that differ somewhat from those of any previous one. For many yeare past the name of Renshaw has always been synonymous with pre-eminence in the game, for, on the occasion when H. F. Lawford won the championship W. Renshaw was e compui- sory spectator by reason of an injured arm, and whenever a district or other minor cham- Pionship has been won by another player it was always felt that the victory was achieved om sufferance, as it were, for when a Renshaw is champion he leaves all minor English single championships to others. The brothers have been so long at the top of the tree through their excellent piay and their capacity for adapting themse to the improvement others, 80 as to ap as ever, that it seemed as though they wero hever to be dispossessed of their supremacy so long as they chose to play the game, But the result of last week's Irish champion- ship will ~ aslightly different aspect on af- fairs, the brothers Renshaw having been de- feated on consecutive days by W. J. Hamilton, the best of the many good players that Ireland has yet prod: This player defeated W. Renshaw in last year’s championship at Wim- bledon, this bemg the fourth time only in his career that this particular Renshaw had beca beaten in a single-handed match; buat the beaten man was not the man he had been, o1 isnow, Lesides, Hamilton was defeated by E. Renshaw in the final round, as he had be im the Trish championship in the preceding May. This year, it is admitted, the brothers are playing as well as ever they did in their lives, so it is in the highest degree to the credit of Hamilton that he should at last have reached so high a stage of perfection that he is able to beat them fairly on their merits. We do not share the wonderment that bas been expressed at one man being able to beat the pair, for so equal are the Renshaws ac- knowledged to be at the present time that it is but natural that a player able to defeat one should be equal to defeating the other also. It would have been very much more surprising if the brothers had been beaten by differen players, It isa sufficiently marked epoch im the game when one man is found equa to the task; and we may be sure that it will be a keenly discussed topic in all lawn tennis circles for many a day to come. To beat W. J, Ham- ilton means the bringing into play of every de- vice that experience has taught or ingenuity and agility can invent. The presence of the Renshaws at country tournaments will not be less successful than usual, and I expect that the “Renshaw rush,” which leaves the second-class playera, who w to the moment of a Renshaw taking his stand atacourt, have monopolized the attention of the spectators, deserted and wondering, will lose none of its eagerness, The Renshaws, apartfrom the halo of victory that has eur- rounded them, have always been very popular players, Their style has always been so grace= tul and good, and they seem to make difficult strokes in a way no one else does, besid doing things that no other player ever dreamed of. {tis not too much to say that when the brothers enter a four-handed court to oppose @ good puir, spectators settle themselves down for a positive treat, and there is always are- gret felt when the match is over, And in spite of the fact that they rarely play a four- handed match consistently hard all through, It was this weakness that caused them to go down in Ireland last week before an inferior, although very excellent pair. So far asothers than the Messrs, Renshaw themselves are concerned, there is every reason. for congratulation at their defeat in Ireland, for the championship at Wimbledon is sure to see arenewal of the interesting struggle for suprem: On this occasion Hamilton will, as in Ireland. have to meet, either actually or col- laterally, W. Renshaw in the preliminary com- petition, and, if he wins that, E. Renshaw in the championship round, and ‘the whole lawn tennis world will be anxious to see if he can re- peat his new form of Ke 7 THE GIPSIES. The Story of a Wandering People. From the Academy. There is a fascination about “gipsy lore” which is, perhaps, increasingly felt now that these nomadic insurgents are being gradually — slowly, it may be, but surely~absorbed by the environing civilization. The altered condi- tions of modern society mike their wandering life more difficult, their language is invaded by gaujo .i.ments, mixed marriages attenuate the strength of the Romany blood; and dotted over the map of Europe there are now little station- ary colonies ot house-dwelling gipsies, who no longer take the road or “fold their tents like the Arabs.” The gipsies have been clearly visible in Eu- rupe for four centuries anda half. They have been the Ishmaelites of the modern world. If at the —— day the law has ceased to treat them hly the social pressure is probably greater, so that it is now or never for those who wish to make a scientific study of these wanderers. A volume, entitled “The Gipsies,” by Adrian A. Colocci, forms an excellent intros duction to such a study. The persecutions of the Zingari have been many and bitter. Even in the last century they were accused of canni- balism. To their foreign appearance and strange mode of life they added the practice of arts that were regarded as irreligious and heathenish. It will be news to many to learn that it was not until 1856 that, by the abolition of Romany slavery in Dacia, the freedom of the Zingari in Europe was completed. Colocci agrees with other observers m regarding the gipsies as practically destitute of religion, although will- ing to adopt nominally the prevailing faith of any country in which they may be sojourners. In England they are Protestants, in Turke: Mohammedans, Morally they are untrai children, indifferent to everything but the sat- isfaction of the desire of the moment, whether that desire be the offspring of love, or greed, or hate. While there is but little gipsy poetry among the English tribes, the “gift and faculty 4: vine” appears profusely both in Spain and the remoter parts of Europe; and one of the most interesting portions of this book is that which gives specimens of the Romany muse. The pieces are mostly short, often strange im form, but not infrequently inspired by genuine poetic feeling. This sometimes finds expres- sion ir. modes so unexpected as to have almost the quality of genius. The gipsy sings the beauty of his sweetheart; apostrophises the sun and stars with heathenish fervor, and cele- brates the success of the knavish ruses by which he has gained an advantage over the busno. Filial affection, also, finds Laem in his songs. While he shows the f: est enjo) ment of the material side of life, there is often a spirit of profound melancholy’ manifested im these lyrizs. The Zingari have always been famous for their love of music, The estimate which gives the gipsy race a million souls is probably far below the truth. wb oena Labouchere Does the 1 Big Tom. From the Edinburgh Scotsman.
