There is probably no country in the world, where people have such long names as the Spanish gentry of Honduras. When a man is of the pure Spanish strain, unmixed with Indian blood, he usually advertises the fact by a list of names so long that onlv he himself- knows all o them. For instance: "Carlos Borromeo Justa y Jcrvez y Fan Lin y Teresias y Majilmadoe" is the name of a general storekeeper in Comayagua. It is a com mon thing in the towns in Centra America to see a sign when one is usee rather larger than the front of-th :tore in order to contain the whole oi the name. The "gente fina" are tre mendously proud of their pure Castilian descent, whenever they can prove it, and no affront wilt rouse a man so quickly as any aspersion on the truJi of his pedigree.

THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. - . i n , . i ii - ,1. ITS ARCHITECTURE, IT3 ARRANGE MENTS, ITS CLASSIFICATION A Great Building arWashington ' . Btversified Contents of the Cases In the Various Divisions. The National Museum nt Washington, as it is now organized,, da es no farther back thari the Centennial Exhibition. Beyond that time it was a thing of shreds and politics, a sort of national lumber room in the custody of the Smithsonian Institution, into which every adventur ous and public spirited Yankee might deposit whatever curiosity came into his hands. i This was not to the liking of Profes sor Joseph Henry, and without opportu nity to make it otherwise but little at tention was given to the museum until the Centennial Exhibition presented an opportunity to systematize the collec tion, give it direction and in this way in timated what the oncers desired it should become. The success of the Government ex hibit was a stimulus not only to our own people, tut moved almost all the Gov ernments exhibiting at the Centennial to oltir valuable gifts and curiosities. These were gladly accepted. This increase of material made necessary some steps for Btorage if not for exhibition purpose. Accordingly Congress appropriated $250,000 for the erection of a fireproof building, which every one will remem ber was ued in its unQnished sta'c for a ball room at the inauguration of Presi dent Garfield. The new museum makes one of the group of buildings of which the Smith sonian is now the venerable centre. Ths architecture of the museum is peculiar, and is not impressive except in extent. Its adaptation, however, to the demands of a museum is perfect. The ground plan is a Greek cros3 with a central ro tunda, the four main halls being 101 feet by sixty-two feet. Courts of the sam.3 height as the naves occupy the angles made by the nav,e3, and outside of both naves and courts are a series of eight ex hibition rooms lighted by large, round, arched windows. At the corners pavil ions rise to thres stories and are used for offices. Within ths arrangement is significant. There is absolutely no solid masonry ex cept the! outside walls. The divisions which have been alluded to are made by a eer:e3 M arches resting on pillows eight feet eight inches wide and twenty seven feet high, these again resting on pillars four feet four inches at the base. These lines of partitions are filled in with exhibition cases. The cases are of iron and mahogany, made as slight a3 possi ble and stand unfastened to the fio jr. These peases, of which one is ad justed into every arch, add greatly to the ap pearance of the interior. Many ar,e made transparent, each side being filled in with thick plate? -of Fren.h glass, which give no reflections. They are insect-proof, and so set that no moldings can accumu late dusti Each case is fastened with Yale locks, and in addition an electric wire connects with the superintendent's room, . With the exception of the Zoological Department, which had been long under way, the museum has been re cently built up. The present plan is a philosophical arrangement into classes which will include everything tnat per tains to the universe The first division relates to man under the three depart ments of biology, ethnography and man as an individual. These divisions are further explained by skulls, bones and chemical components under biology and the casts of various sizes under ethno graphy. I Here are also to be found the Catlin collection of Indian portraits, and here should be found the second series of Catlin painting's of less artistic value but of gi cater ethnographical value, as they contain portraits and records of customs, rites and games of Indian tribes such as the Mandans, now extinct. In the third division representative men arc busts, portraits, medals, coins, manuscripts,-relics, hieroglyphics and everything pertaining to the subject The second grand division considers the earth under every form, the sub heads being Astronomy, Geography, Geology and the History of Exploration. The next class is devoted to the natural resources of the earth, the two sub divisions being Botany and Zoology. The museum is particularly rich in both of these departments. The zoological collection long since ceased to he a col lection of curiosities Its extent and arrangement hive made it what Professor Henry always intended it should be a resource for special students, and nothing is now lacking to this end. j The fourth class is the industries. These are sub-divided into Quarrying and Mining, which are represented by pictures, a collection of resins, gums, barks, herbs and fishing, hunting and field industries. , In the meshods of fishing no country can show such material as ours. The fishing exhibit at the London Fishery Exhibition was the astonishment of Europe. Even the Americans who visited the Fisheries were spellbound by the home display. The fifth class, EM is known as the elaborativc industries. This is subdi vided into raw materials, agents, imple ments, processes and products. Into this class enter textile fabrics, looms and work in clay. But a more corap!ete and more interesting exposition is that of Class F.. classified as "ultimate pro ducts," in wlrch are included the ce ramic objects, tapestries and the fine col lection of native potteries. Conspicuous among these is the pottery of the Zuni Indians. Th's same cla-s also includes architecture, heating, ventilation, furni ture, fuel?, foods, drugs and even curi osities. Four concluding classes embraces the "Social relations of Man," "The Physi al Condition of Man," "Intellect ual Condition of Maa,M "Moral Condi tion of Man." The minor details of these divisions are innumerable. X'nder the first come the mails and telegraph, weapons, badges end flag. Under the second, surgery, hospitals, physical culture, etc Under, the third we have drama, art, literature, science and amusements. Under the fourth are found matters pertaining to the benevo lent and reformatory institutions, relig ious systems, etc. -Xew York Vrajhi$ The futile efforts made to revive Inter est in archery show how thoroughly dca4 the noble pastime is, WASHINGTON, 1). C. IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE. W&at Our iAwmakert " doing at tb National Capita?. Monday. The House passed the gen eral deficiency bill, minus the French spoliation claims section. By unanimous consent the floor was given to Mr. Vest, of Virginia, who made a long speech in favor of the Bkir Edu cational bill charging the failure of the passage of that bill to the Democratic party. Mr. Wise replied refuting the state ment, and argued that it was the height of audacity to endeavor tojnake. a party question of it . '- v " . Contrary to general expectations, the discussion of the President's fishery message was not resumed in the Senate, and the session Was devoted to the con sideration of various other matters. Mr WiTsoa concluded his speech be gun last Thursday on the Jackson, Mississippi, municipal election frauds. Referring to the approaching Presiden tial election, Mr. Wilson said that if the Democratic party should succeed theijr that party would do more in the fututeL than it had done in the past, and in reference to the 13th, 14th and loth constitutional amendments, success then would ultimately put that party in pos session of the majority in both Houses of Congress, and of the Supreme Court of the United Stites; and i hen he asked: "What could ttay the overthrow of these amendments, so much desired by the Solid South, the dominent ing of the Demociatic party?'' A good deal has been heard lately, Mr. Wilson said, in concluding about the new farce called trusts. They were being rigoiously denounced and deserved to be as unlawful conspiracies against the public welfare. But iuth less business trusts were not the onlv trusts that should attract attention and obtain remedial legislation. The po litical trust was one quite aa hateful and injurious, and if this political trust was unsuccessful and every citizen protected in the enjoyment of hi? right to vote, the power of the Democratic party in the United States would be put an end to, and the rule of the solid South would be broken. Mr. Walthall complained of the peri odical arraignment of the Southern peo ple for alleged offences that are clearly outside' of the sphere of federal legislation. The attacks, he said, were unoccupied by any plan of remedy or redress. They had borne no fruit but crimination and recrimination, and had h:id no effect but to delay the era of good will among a reunited people, which happily had come in spite of them. At the close of Mr. Walthall's speech a mess ige from the President vetoing a bill appropriating $120,000 for a public building at bioux Oity, Iowa, was read, and the Senate at 6 :30 o'clock adjourned. Tuesday The Speaker laid before the House a number of requests for leave of absence, but Mr. Breckenridire said he felt it his duty to object to any leave be ing grai ted except on account of sick ness. ' Mr. Grosvenor stated frankly that he wanted to so awav for ten days to make I political speechs in Maine. Mr. Grosvenor s request was nnally granted. The Oklahoma bill was taken up, but without action the bill went over. Senate The resolution offered'by Mr, Hoar last Fiiday with Mr, Edmund's amendment calling on the President for copies of the correspondence with Great Britain relating to the Canadian trouble, was adopted. The Senate thn went into secret ses sion . WASHINGTON NOTES. The sundry civil appropriation bill. as was agreed to i:o-day in conference, appropriates $27,459,454.

A cood deal of complaint is oeing heard around the Canital now about the delav of the Committee on Elections j m i reporting upon the two remaining elec - . . tion contests, and especially the contest of Small against Elliott, of South Cah lina. The renort in the latter case was ordered six weeks ago, and the Reptib licans say that in fairness the contestant should bo allowed a hearing before the House at the earliest opportunity. They profess to believe that Small was elected beyond doubt, and that the luusewouia so "decide after hearing the case. The committee is divided on a strict line. party Yellow Fever.

Thomas Moran, a suspected fugitive rom Jacksonville, Fla., was arrested at Charleston, and put in quarantine at the azaretto in that harbor. Inis makes five suspects now there. The steamship Castilla was denied permission to come to Charleston, by unanimots vote of the Board of Health. She will probably go to Savannah. The dead body of Ben Brand, a negro, was found hanging to a rope from the limb of a tree near Salem, Clarendon county. One evening about three weeks ago Brand went to a white man's house in Salem and obtained permission to spend the night on the premises. Dur ing the evening he attempted to take undue libertif s in the house, tor which he was severely whipped and ordered to eave the county under penalty of deatn. Brand, however, failed to leave within the prescribed time, and , last night be ing caught in the neighborhood of Salem, a party of white men quittly "removca him in the manner above stated. A party of thirteen men went on a bear hunt in a swamp in Clarendon couns ty, am 3ng them being Buell Dukes and 8errv Taylor. After the hunters ftaa struck bruin's trail several of them were stationed at particular stands with in instructions to stay 'there. For some reason, however, Taylor left his 6tand, and incautiously approached the place where Duker -as stationed. Dukes be ing on the iu jk out for the bear, and seeing the tall canebrakes moving, with out waiting for a closer inspection, niea at the supposed bear. The entire load of buck shot lodged in Taylor's should ers, killing him instantly. A Good Cause. As chaplain of the Upper Seaman's Bethel at New Orleans,, the Rev. Dr. Witherspoon has become widely known not only in the United States, but m England and pthtr foreign countries, and his services as the organizer of the work has won the recognition and thanks of the American and British govern ments. The value of the work may be estimated when it is known that neirly 28.000 sailors visit New Orleans yearly, and that the police "of that city attribute the absence of drunkenness among sail ors to the nightly services of the Bethel. Be sides offering social attractions, the Bethel, which was opened in 188, furnishes religious instructions, fervices being held Sunday and Wednesday nights. Connected with the institution is a concert hall, reading room, a sea man's home, with parlors, dmiog room and dormitories, and the Touro Infirm ary, which is liberally sustained by the Jewish people of the city, and where eighty-two seamen wtr: trejtcei. last year. The Monirch of Paderinm's Apparel. Mr. Berry Wall, dude of New York, has provided himself with printed blanks, each containing a full list of all the items of his wearing apparel, with pace opposite each item in which he may write the designation of the par ticular article which he wishes to wear on the next day. This he rdh up and hands to his valet upon going to bed at n ght; and while Mr. Wall snoozes sweetly the net morning, the valet gets atl the things out and rendy.

Honey-Dew. Honey-dew neither falls from the skies, nor is it made by an insect, but it is a viscid saccharine matter that etudes from both trees and herbaceous plants. It i usually, but not always, associated with the presence of aphides and other insects which feed on the juices of plants, and from this circumstance the flow of hor.ev-dew is ascribed to their punctures; but ihe rapture of the tissues from any other cause seems to produce it, and warm dry weather seems to be necessary for producing in the sap that super abundance of sugar which is thus thrown off. Aphides themselves exude by cer tain peculiar organs drops of a fluid that is called honey-dew. which "probably differs mneh from the direct exudation of the plants on which tbey feed, but mingles with it where they abound.

BREADSTUFF8. The market for wheat flour has at times been quite active during the week under review, and prices show some ad vance. The export demand was brisk, and the local trade seemed to have little hesitation in accumulating stocks of fresh ground flour. The improvement was due mainly to the advance in wheat, but did not fully keep pice with it. Rye flour and corn meal were dull. To-day there was some further advance, but the elose was unsettled. The wheat market has been much ex cited. There was a rapid advance on foreicn advices early in the week, caus ing on Tuesday tbe failure of a leading .. ! T ... ui . 3 II'..

Busincis in the jobbing branches of the dry gocds trade was fairly active the past week, the distribution of fall aud winter goods have reached an important aggregate arnouiit, in spite of adverse weather conditions at times. Retailers from most tarts of the interior are stock ing up with a degree of liberality indi eating ample confidence in the trade cut- look, but their purchases arc seemingly euaired bv immediate ai u near prospect ive requirements, and there is not the least tendency toward speculation in any class of merchandise. The demand by wholesale buyers em the spot was chiefly of a hand-to-mouth character, as lor some time past, but re orders by mail and wire were more numerous, and many of these orderg were accon.panied by cheering reports in regard to the progress of fall trade at distributing points in the interior. There also was a good steady movement in some softs of domestic and foreign ' troods on account of former transactions, and altotrether the week's business was of fairly satisfactory di mensions. . i The Search for Manlej.

Clinton li. Fitk. Drinking Among Hngflsh Women.' It seems that the women of England are In a bad way as regards drink. l)r. iinlaeh hat informed the British Medical Association that women dr.nk to execas as much as men, nd that in Liverpool it is the wives who drink. Tbe use of opium, chloral, and other narcotics is much mote prevalent among women than among men. ' Women, however, have a better excuse for their excesses than tho other sex.. They drink, as a rule, te cauc they have some worrying ailment, and keep on until tbe habit is settled upon them. With narcotics the beginning of the abuse u g-eneiay traceable, says lr. lmlacb, to medical prescriptions.
