it Washington correBpondent of the
.New York World writes:
The news of tbe death at Lockport,
N. Y., of tbe danghter of ex-Con
grcRHruan Dick Crowley has shocked
society people here, where she has
been snch a favorite. Nearly a year
ago she was engaged to Allan Arth “J,
the President’s son. He broke the en¬
gagement without any apparent reason.
The young lady never recovered from
tbe mortification attendant upon that
occasion. During the last year she has
rapidly declined, consumption set in and
as early as last fall the physicians could
give no hope. Miss Crowley was a tall,
stylish blonde, who was much admired
during her stay in Washington, When
her father was in Congress the family
lived at the Arlington Hotel. There
were a number of young ladies at the
hotel at the time, including tbe Misses
Banney, daughters oi Congressman
Banney, of Boston; Miss Dwight,
daughter of Congressman Dwight; Miss
Camden, danghter of Senator Camden,
and Miss Annie Parwell, danghter of the
millionaire Congressman from Chicago.
These young ladies formed a society
among themselves, and were objects of
a great deal of social attention. The
wealthy Senator Pair gave a famous din¬
ner in their honor, upon which he lav¬
ished (jjfrowjeys great sums in the way of display.
The were then very intimate
at the White House, and were as intimate
with the President as if they were mem¬
bers of bis own family. They were con
’ Amtly b<ing entertained by him, and
' m were’ his most frequent companions at
dinner. The young ladies of the Arliug
tan Hotel were also frequently enter¬
tained at the White House. Tho result
of this intimacy was to bring Allan
Arthur and Miss Crowley Tory much to¬
gether. Young Arthur frequently which all got the
up theater parties to
.young Unites would bo invited. Parties
constantly lieing made up for ex
cnrsious m various directions. After a
time Allan Arthur singled object out Miss
Crowley as tho especial of his at¬
tentions, and they became engaged.
Miss Crowley then occupied tho post of
honor among her young lady friends, as
she had captured the obstacle President’s to son. tho
No one foresaw any
match, as President Arthur and Mr.
Crowley bail long been friends upon the
most Intimate footing. Suddenly the
engagement was broken off without a
word of warning.

ORIGIN OF **A DARK HORNE.”
It is generally supposed that the term “dark
horse” is of American origin. But Thackeray
used in his “Adventures of Phillip” before it
became current in (fats country, and in exactly
the same sense as we employ it. “Well, bless
toy fool,” Thillip is made to say, referring to
some mysterious candidate tor the House of
Commons, “he can't mean me. Who is the
dark horse he has in his stable ?”
waterspouts.
A waterspout in Akunbig, Russian Turkestan,
June 2, overflowed the river, destroyed seventy
houses and drowned 40 persons. A waterspout
is a whirlwind which sucks up water at sea aud
water, fences, cattle, horses, etc., on land.
They sometimes iiave a circular motion equal
to five hundred miles an hour, with a goahead
motion equal to one hundred miles an hour.
The moment they stop whirling the water sud¬
denly falls to the ground in the shape of s
cloudburst.
PETROLEUM OIL.
It is believed that petroleum oil exists in
large quantities in Alabama, in the counties of
Washington, Clarke, Choctaw and Marengo.
During the war Balt makers in this region
found that the gas arising from the salt water
would take fire in a minute. In Washington
county after the war a well waB bored and the
gas came up with snch explosive force, flaming
up to such a height, that all the workmen fled
to the woods, and tho well was abai/dom d.
Some time in tho near future this immense oil
bonanza will be utilized.
HT. BERNARD BOGS.
The famous St. Bernard dugs are very care¬
fully trained. A traveler who visited some of
the monasteries of the monks of 8t. Bernard, a
few years ago, found the monks teaching their
dogs from the earliest stages of puppyhoocL
Not only is physical and mental training in¬
cluded in this teaching, hut spiritual culture is
by no means neglected. At mealtime the dogs
ait in a row, each with a tin dish before him
containing his repast. Grace is said by one of
the monks, the dogs sitting motionless with
bowed heads. Not one of them stirs until the
“amen” is spoken. If a frisky puppy attempts
to sample his meal before grace is over, one of
the older dogs growls and gently tugs his ear.
NETTING A BROKEN NECK.
The latest triumph of modern surgery is the
repair of a Boston woman who had fallen sev¬
enty feet and broken her neck. The neck was
broken just aB the neck of culprits who are
hanged on the gallows—namely, by dislocation
of the vertebra;. Fortunately the spinal mar¬
row was not injured, or the repairs could not
have been made. Having chloroformed the
poor woman, the aurgeons had the pleasure of
bearing the bones and ligaments snap us they
forced tho displaced vertebra) into proper posi¬
tion. The woman, on awaking, seemed to
think that her head had come off and that it
had been put on crooked. The operation sug¬
gests a new field of experiment on the bodies
of executed criminals.

THE TIMBER TR ADE
The value of the timber crop in this country
U not generally appreciated. Last rear the
value of the timber crop proper wzl $700,000,
000 or more than tbe value of the corn crop,
This immense gum does not include the wood

require about 21,000,000 ties. These figures
give some idea of the importance of the timber
crop. It is the largest crop of thegiountry
<■« «»—*»
planting is not generally practiced, the crop
becomes less and less in localities, and
there is a corresponding rise in the value of
timber in other sections. The white pine
crop has reached its maximum, and yellow pine
is to be the crop of the future.
SOMETHING ABOUT BANANAS.
It is astonishiug how little is known of ban¬
anas, considering the extent to which they are
eaten. New York gets every week an average
of 30,(XX) bunches. From Florida ? Not a sin¬
gle one. Why, Florida only raises enough
bananas for home consumption. All theBe
yellow ones we get from Central America, prin¬
cipally from Aspinwall. Those big, tat, red
fellows are from Cuba. Plantains? Oh, no
Plantains j
that’s a general mistake. are only
edible when cooked; they are more vegetable
than fruit. You didn’t know tluyre were 150
varieties of bananas, did you? Thf fruit comes
to us quite green, but in the summer will ripen
in one or two days. Cool weather compels us
to use artificial treatment, and we hang them
in a close room and apply heat. Now, that
green bunch will not be ripe under four days.
With the bananas, we import, duty free, a
good many foreign inhabitants. See that (ex.
hibiting a snake a yard long.) I took liim
alive from a bunch. And this spider came in
another, bringing her nest with her. It con¬
tains a hundred eggs. She has come to a cold
climate to hatch. I found a tarantula the
other day—horrible thing, too”—

June, 1880, upwards of 2,500,000 immigrants

The high tido of immigration was reachfed
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1882,
when the total reached 788,992. The total for
the current fiscal year will be one-third less.
Although the absolute immigration since
June 80, 1880, has been greater in each year
