Elphonzo Youngs Co., IN HOTEL CORRIDORS. “I wish you could see and enjoy some of the delicious strawberries that are raised out in the Puget sound country,” remarked J.A.Greer of Tacoma at the St.James the oth- er day, as a street huckster came by driving @ wagon loaded with boxes of the delicious fruit. “I am almost afraid to describe our berries, for fear I shall be put down as a Munchausen, but I essure you that straw- berries the size of hens’ eggs and entirely scarlet from their stems to their tips and as firm and as highly flavored as a little wild berry itself, do not excite surprising com- ment out in my neighborhood. I have seen @ quart of strawberries purchased at a mar- ket store in the regular run of custom-and at the regular price charged for the fruit, which contained exactly eleven strawberries, and none of then were blemished in the slightest degree. When your eastern berry reaches a large size it is not a very pretty object to look at. From the red at its base it changes into various hues of yellowish green and is blotched here and there until it tion will remember, for instance, that a farmer from the vicinity of Walla Walla exhibited 110 bushels of wheat which bad been raised on a single acre, and this ex- hibit was fully authenticated. But there is no use dwelling upon the fecundity of ra- ture in the far northwest. The person who can afford the journey can receive a won- derfully valuable education by making a jaunt up through the Puget sound country — sag remarkable regions that lie adja- cent to it.” “There is a great deal of confident talk being indulged in down south just now about the growth of the cotton manufactur- [ing industry,” said R. H. Gregg of Memphis at Willard’s last night. “It seems quite reasonable that such a manufacture should thrive in the immediate vicinity of the pro- ducing place of the raw material, but I do not believe our people should take too opti- mistic a view of the prospects. To properly manufacture cotton, skilled labor is essen- tial, and that class of labor must of neces- sity be intelligent. Men and women who work in foregn factories and in those of New England, and who are respected in their communities and have a certain degree of social intercourse with their neighbors, cannot be kept in our section of the coun- try as long as it clings to the social cus- toms and traditions of the pest. The over- seer of a northern cotton mill, for instance, would not relish settling in ‘a community where he would be ostracised by the other intelligent people because he performed manual labor, or some description of it, for a living. This may seem an bf nt fact to base an opinicn on, but I firmly be- eve that the social conditions down south must be radically cl before the cotton manufacturing industry reaches the state of perfection that so many of my fellow southerne’s appear to believe imminent.” “I saw an affecting incident at a hotel in Denver recently,” said Herbert Parker of San Francisco, at the Arlington yesterday. “Our party stopped at the Windsor, and some business detained me after it had ieking and crying in the next room. Naturally, I ran out tn the hall and into the apartment where the boy was crying, too, fit to break My entrance brought the lady to and then, in a gush of gladness, she me that she had just discovered her son in the servant who had answered a summons from her. I tried to beat a retreat, but poor woman was in that condition when she was compelled to recite her story to some one, and it would have been ungallant in me to have refused to listen. It appeared that the boy had accidentally wounded a companion in Troy, New York, some three or tour years ago, and, fearing that hi ay be cl with malicious . g and that of his wounded friend inetituted Was given up, and it was believed the lad had committed suicide. He had been afraid to write home, and had drifted west, where he managed to get a job in the hotel. You can imagine what a reunion it was when the first shock of the meeting Was over. I'll not give the names, as the lady is the widow of one who was a promi- ment man in the vicinity of Troy.’ A New York geologist, now at the Ariing- ton, yesterday told the following story about Major Powell's successor:in the ge0- logical survey: “Yes, I know Walcott well. His success is largely owing to his having persistently followed one track. I some- times think that anybody could do any- thing by trying hard enough. Walcott had a hard time when he was a boy. He never had a chance to go to college. When he was three or four years old his father died. He wasn't able to go to any school till he was nine or ten, and then he attended the public schools and academy years. When he was thirteen he in- terested in pretty stones, and made a ran- dom collection, and this a canal between Philadelphia and New York is beginning to assume something like @ tangible shape,” said Frank Laughton of Philadelphia, at the Riggs House this morn- ing. “The other day the committee on navigation of the Philadelphia city council held a meeting and recommended that $10,000 be ted for a preliminary survey over the route of the proposed canal. Every busifiess man in Philadelphia heart- ily favors the immediate construction of Such a work, and the various mercantile clubs and associations are taking measures to keep up an earnest agitation of the sub- ject ‘and create a universal public senti- ment in its behalf. Some very interesting figures have been submitted in support of the scheme. It is shown that the estimated cost of the canal . cost Of the o Will be $12,000,000, of it will be transported through it each year. At sixty cents per ton this would mean a revenue of 000,000 per per cent it would effect a saving of $3,000,000 per year, which sum would represent 5 Phethere on, An investment of $00,000,000, believe that the system of popular educa- this subject which is about to be in Philadelphia and in Jersey, “Talking about halistorms,” said George Hough, a commercial traveler of Baltimore at the National Hotel this morning, “some of these meterological fellows ought to have been up in Carroll county, Md., near New Windsor, a few days ago. The hail fell up there so fast and so thickly that it cove-s4 the ground over a foot and a half deep, and in some plaves it drifted up against barns and outhouses until a way had to be cut through it to get into the bufidings. This is no ghost story, but a fact thet can be easily authenticated by eny one who desires to make inquiries. The crops were absolutely ruined, and the farmers who had promising fields of rye and wheat and barley are now ploughing the beaten-down grain under for the purpose of sowing the same fields in corn. There is no glass left in the rection of the country where the storm was 90 vio- lent; the treé@s are stripped of verdure, and no Kansas ever made the scene of its visitation appear more desolate. farmer community around New Windsor is very well-to-do, however, as it is composed largely of Dunkards. Consequently, the loss occasioned by the hail will not fall as hard as it would in jess favored neighborhoods, One reputable gentleman told me thai the hail was as high as a horse's back at the en- trance to his barn and that herd work was necessary to dig a way through It in order to get out a cart, which was needed te send after a doctor to come to sttend @ workman who had been badly injured about the head by being caught out in the storm, ———-s-—__- DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

At the Brooklyn Handicap, and the necessity for some rules to be made by which a starter’s powers shall be defined,” said Phil Biedler, who is here attending the races, at Wilard’s last night. “I agree with Slater, but I can’t see where any improvement can be brought about by the option of any regulations by which a starter shall be governed, If there is one place more than another where a man has to exercise his own individual judgment it is at the side of the stretch, when he is trying to get a field of horses off on something like even terms. You can fine jockeys all you please, end threaten disqualification and all sorts of punishment, but it does no good. If the jock has instructions from his stable to pursue a certain course of action at the post he ts going to do it in spite of any punishment the starter may inflict up to certain decapitation. It is mighty easy for a shrewd jockey to make it appear that his mount is causing all the trouble, when the rascal is responsible for it himself. I well remember how hard Capt. Connor, who was the first paid starter who ever dropped a flag on an American race track, tried to fix things so that he could get a bunch of horses off on even terms.
