THE If AX AXD WOMAX WHO WERE ARRESTED FOR OIVIXO BOOTS CHECKS?THE MAN'S HISTORY. The man and hi* female companion who were arrested Thursday afternoon by Detective Mat tingly, as published in yesterday'* Stab, were detained at the first precinct yesterday. The officer received considerable information yes [ terday concerning the mysterious couple, which, if true, shows that the man has had a varied career for some years, and his historv is probdblv as varied as that of Marion D. Newman, who did not marry Mrs. Kate Smith in thi* city j some weeks ago. I The prisoner's father, the officer learned, is a wealthy resident of Keene. N. H. His unfor tunate son. the prisoner, is said to be named Walter Whitcomb. who started life early in Maine as an Episcopal clergvman. This he does not deny, but savs -it's no'disgrace to be a preacher. ' He was afterward dismissed from the church, so the detective's informant savs, ana since then has been continuously in trouble. He married when quite young, and ha* a son I living with his father in Keene. His wife left nim. and a divorce was subsequently granted. Among the papers found on him were several checks which had been filled out. Thev were drawn on the Madison Square bank of New iork. and made payable to Walter Powers, which is supposed to be one of Whitcomb's numerous aliases. The names of Simon Wolf and John Brosnan appeared on the check*. IS THE POLICB COCBT. This morning the prisoners were taken to the Police Court and charged under the name* of Walter Whitcomb and Kate Mason with being suspicious persons. Detective Mattinglv detailed the story of the arrest, telling how they were compelled to leave the American nouse, and how the arrest was made after thev lett oolari s hotel. Witness produced a vest pocket revolver which he took from Whitcomb. * explained that he was igno rant of Washington laws and asked for instruc f ?.?n*. The judge explained hi* rights and told him that he was entitled to be represented bv counsel. The prisoner decided not to be sworn in his own behalf because he would subject himself to an examination of his conduct dur ing his entire life. The woman with him, he said, was his wife and that her home was in New lork. He declined to give the name of her parents because he said ho did not care to involve her family in anv such affair as this He declined simply because their names would appear in the papers. Whitcomb assumed all responsibility for his actions and said that his wife was ignorant of anything he had done. The judge sentenced him to give bonds or go down on the farm for sixty days as a suspicious person and imposed a fine of *20 or 30 (lavs for carrying the pistol. In the case of the woman the court suspended action. i 1,."That'8 not a weapon." remarked Whitcomb "it s nothing but a toy." I "I wouldn't like you to snap it at me." responded witness. The clerk at Solari'g hotel testified that the defendants stopped at the hotel. They paid for one day in advance, and the next dav he presented a check for *25 on the Madison Square bank for collection. On the strength of the check Mr. Solari loaned him ?10. Mr. Cnrringtou was subsequently emploved as counsel and will look after the interests" of the couple. To a reporter Whitcomb said that he had written for all the prominent newspapers in the country. He did not care for himself, but hie only thought wag for his aged mother. I he judge subsequently required the woman to give bonds or go down for 60 days. Judge Miner intends to make arrangements for send ing the woman home. After the trial was over. Camil Solari swore out a warrant^igainst Whitcomb, charging him with obtaining *5 by means of false pretenses, and the warrant was served on him by Marshal Wheattey Whitcomb was committed to jail and his female companion was sent to the workhouse. He was sent down in the prison van. while she was taken in a street car. accom panied by Bailiff Kendig. ALEXANDRIA. Reported for The F.vesiko Rtab. An Impobtan-t Assemble.?A business mens* meeting for the purpose of organizing a board of trade is called to take place next Mondav morning at the rooms of the com exchange, on King and Union streets. It is thought that the organization of a board of trade will tend to advance the business interests of the city and give its business men an organization that will have the public confidence, and enable com bined movements to be made to secure favor able rates of transportation of goods to and from this city; full facilities for shipment and the deliveries of merchandise at the country towns and depots w ithin the compass of Alex" andria trade. This trade has recently been considerably extended and now embraces some ! of the towns of North Carolina. It is believed that Monday s meeting will be one ot great im portance to Alexandria. Prospects roa Maxcfactcbes.?The prospect for an increase of manufactories in this city is favorable.

Them are those wa in tkii age of wine ?ere* who believe that the oyster is an Ameri can institution, duly patented and trade marked with genuine Yankee triumph and en terprise. Or. admitting that it haa a foothold, ao to apeak, in foreign waters, hare no idea that its ancestral lineage can boast of a Terr ancient date or of any very distinguished char acters such aa Saddle Rocks. Lynn Havens or Cherry Stone* of American notoriety. But ac cording to Pliny, a very level-headed individual named Sergiu* Grata carried on oyster-plant ing. with a good deal of commercial acumen, 600 years B. C., and produced certain ' brands" which he made his swell patron* pay dearly for. At a later date Cervantes was a noted oyster-eater, though he satirized those who dealt in them moat outrageously. Nnpoleon Bonaparte loved oysters, too, and. it is said, invariably ate them on the eve of a battle, if possible to be had. Among English celebrities Alexander Pope was a noted patron of bivalves, and so waa Dean Swift Thomson, he of "The Seasons," knew of good things, and knew just how good a thing a well ?easoti> il oyster was. Bertram, in his "Harvest of the Sea." spoke of the "oyster-ploys" of old Edinburgh town, "held in quaint and dingv tnverns. where quality ladies and gentlemen folks were plentifully but rudely served." Could those ancient and semi-ancient epicur eans have had even a well-defined sniff of any of the hundred and one aromatic dishes at the service of any of Washington's popular restau rateurs what rapturous dreams it would have engendered of futnrition?the very substance of something longed for, a positive evidence of things unseen. For a great while the oyster was unassigned to either the vegetable or animal kingdoms he was looked npon as au outsider, without ori gin. parentage, or intention, as liable to side one way as the other, l'lato was sorely puz zled over it. and had his deductions been an nounced in conformity with the progressive ness of this age he would doubtless have classi fied it as a typical "mugwump" of the aquatic creation. THE OYSTER OASTRONOMICALLY COSStDERED. As an article of food for mankind but few productions of the vegetable or animal king doms are of greater importance or more nutri tious. not so much on account of its general elements as of a special one. No animal, aquatic or terrestrial, contains so large a pro portion of phosphorus in its composition, and it is a well-established fact that one of the most important constituents of the bones and tissue* of mammalian organisms is phosphorus, and in Droportion to the supply of that element to the human brain will cerebral energy and mental activity be manifested. No morsel ever glided down the (esophagus of a human being equal in deliciousness to a fat. plump, fresh, saltish raw oyster with a dash of condiment or a few drops of lemon juice dropped upon his carcass as it lies in tempting tranquility upon a half-shell?the only beverage necessary, if any be. to develop its transcendental lusciotisness being finely brewed ale. There is no alimentary substance, not excepting bread, which can bo eaten with out danger of indigestion at times save the raw oyster. They can be eaten raw at all times and in almost any quantity without ill effect. History tells us that Seneca, the renowned moralist, would dispose of one hun dred at his lunch, and that the emi?eror. Vitel lius, could eat one thousand at a meal. Per haps, however, that was the time spoken of when "there were giants in those davs." gas tronomically, at least, or may be there lived a gigantic romancer or two about that time. Or. probably, the oysters themselves were to blame for lack of robustness, such as are often donated in this age by enterprising advertisers to church fairs and charity organizations. In almost every city and town on this con tinent there are to be found numbers of restaurants and eating houses whose where abouts are announced bv gorgeous placards or luridly illuminated signs. Good palatable dishes can be had in many of them, but in far many more the succulcnt Cherrystone, or a contemporary, is a stranger, and there reigns in its stead a diminutive, cheerless, pebbly mollusk that is a disgrace to its lace. The largest and most finely flavored oysters are sold by first-class restaurateurs over their counters by the dozen on the half-shell, and in ninety-five cases out of one hundred a sable, polished face, white-aproned negro stands and opens them with a velocity and dexterity his white competitors have cleverly imitated but never equalled. Steamed oysters are a favorite with most people,' but the "fry" and "stew" are most largely patron ized because cheaper. The "broil' i* next in favor, and then comes the "escalloped." Itoasted oysters have a peculiar flavor and a most appetizing odor, especially when dropped into a sauce of melted butter, pepper, and cream. Indeed oyster* are popular served in any style, even in that which Charles Lamb re ferred to when, upon a stranger's poking his head into a crowded omnibus and asking: "All full in here?" he replied, "I dou't know how it is with ttie others, but that last piece of oyster pie did the business for me." THE ANATOMY OF THE OYSTER. However lowly the oyster may be, his com plex anotomical structure manifests a perfect adaptation to the creature's necessities. The thin layer of flesh lining the valve* i* known as the "mantle" and envelopes the entire body. It is the oyster's pallium, and at the same time is instrumental in procuring the food upon which it is to be nourished. These membrauous mantles are fringed at the edges with rows of tiny cilia, or soft fleshy hairs of extreme delicacy with a sense of touch ex quisitely acute. The incessant motion of these cilia keep up a constant agitation of the water around, when feeding, and bring to it the spores and animalcule upon which the animal lives. These are carried back to the mouth, which is located at the hinge of the shells. The gills are the respiratory organs, as with the fish. The heart, like that of any other ani mal. has its auricles and ventricle*. and beats with regular pulsations. It has a complete circulating apparatus, arteries and veins to perfection. The color of the oys ter's blood is a pale, bluish white?it might be called opaline?and the cardiac pulsations are plainly visible. The sex is as decided and cognizable as in any other animal. It has a nervous and muscular system complete. All animals endowed with powers of locomotion have a propelling ganglion or center. This does not appear in the anatomy of the oyster, and for this reason it is incapable of moving about. They are eyeless and consequently blind, but this optical absence is compensated for by its exquisite sensitiveness to impres sions. ITS CREATION AND GROWTH. The spawn, or "spat" as it is called, of the oyster, at first appears to belong to the vegeta ble kingdom, but as it develops it exhibits a more vigorous and decided character. In a few weeks it is capable of a feeble, indepen dent motion which gradually increases until the shells are perfectly formed, when it attains the power of opening and closing them at will. The object to which the floating "spat" is most likely to attach itself is the shell of an old oyster, and this explains why they are so often found in clusters. At the age of one month the "spat" is About the size of a large pea and will average nearly a half inch in growth every two months. At the age of one year it is suita ble for planting, and at three it is full grown and a candidate for market. The shell appears to be a series of shells overlapping each other like tiles, each layer representing a year's growth. The capability of an oyster to repair its shell when not too badly broken it well known. WHAT OYSTERS FEED CTOX. The floculent organic matter and animalcule of the water subserve as its food. On the shells there i* nearly always found an olive colored sediment of algae, or sea weed, the sporule* of which is the manna or bread of the oyster. Likewise do the little red sponge, the little sea anemones, that look like drops of jelly, and the cells of the brvoza. a species or mollusk. contribute to its larder. There is a prevalent idea, both in America and Europe, that oyster* may be fattened by pouring water mixed with Indian meal upon them, but this is improbable, for the reason that the oyster is a carnivorous animal with an organisation incapable of digesting cornmeal or any other vege table, farinaceous or gramineous food. It feed* regularly twice in twenty-foor hours at the flowing and ebbing of the tides, and imme diately thereafter closes the blind* and be takes itself to meditation and a post-prandial siesta. O, temporal O, mores! What a divine existence! What a regally indolent life! How much more apropos to the absolute fit ness of things, with some likelihood of accept ance. had the sluggard, instead of being told to go to the ant, been kindly referred to ths oyster. Tn DIFTRREXT VARIETIES. Notwithstanding the similarity of the varioas kinds each variety preserves its identity and re mains a distinctly separate family.

From Kent Island, within 25 mile* of Baltimore, to Cape Henry, a diatance of nearly 150 miles, the bottom of the bay is. with a few alight exceptions, a continuoiia bed of oyster*.

AT THE WASHINGTON OYSTER WHARF. In a little 6 by 10 room, cut off from a larger one, and jammed right up against ton piers of the oyster wharf at the foot of 11th street, is the office of Capt \V. C. Nolaud. one of the best known and oldest dealers in Waali . ing. having been in the business there upward ! of twenty years. The captain is an old "salt" j of the first water, having followed ? sea-faring ! life the better part of his years, and until be got wrecked awav off in Oregon somewhere, when he came here and settled down about i aa far from the wreckage as be could well get. . He has bought oyster*, sold oysters, eaten j oysters, thought oysters aud talked oyst. r* I until he is sizing up to the shape and rotundity | of a fat oyster. Capt. Noland is a pretty fair sampleof the wharf-dealers.on the alert. qm< k to see an opening, deals squarely, and is iu favor of enforcing a statute prohibiting the I bringing of oysters into the District under auy circumstances between the 15th of May and 15th of Septe mber, just a* the game laws are enforced. He has a list with the name, age and standing of every craft In the United States manned by a licensed commander, aud j can nearly tell the approach of an oyster Teasel before it passe* Fort Washington by a ther mometry premonitiou that something good ia about to happen. The vessels that bring oyster* to Washington are mostly in command of their owners, with a . crew of three to six men. The average load is ! about eight hundred bushels and a vessel of I that capacity coats about ?2.5H0. Generally the season's work is done on share*. One of < the crew performs the duties of rook, and from ' all accounts it is a good thing they are not at all faatidiousor have raw oysters handy when they don't feel like takiug anything stronger. Prep arations have already been commenced by the vessels to supply the demand for the luaugural event. The narbor will be crowded with boats at that time, loaded up to the brim, all wanting I to aell and all wanting to get rich on that oc > caaion. The demand will doubtless be im : menie. When coming into port with a cargo the captain is open to propositions from buyera. Under a good demanii tne dealer often takes a whole boat-load, but if the snpply is very limited and the demand great the owner will divide evenly, leaving the dealers to fight it out between themselves a? to who shall get tha I lion's share. Sometimes when under these cir cumstance a dealer is compelled to have a cer i tain quantity greater thau his share to fill an an important order he works his wits for all they are worth to get a part of or all that his neighbor has. BOW THE PBICEM BAXOE. At this time an inferior grade is bringing about 45 cents a bushel. Theae are the small river oyster similar to those taken atmut aud below Odar Point. The best grades, such as tha Annapison. are commanding about 55 cents a bushel. A bushel of small one* will "shuck" out about three quarto, good grade* about on* < gallon. WHERE THET ABE GATHERED. An empty vessel upon starting out for a load heads for the grounds offering the best oppor tunities for the grade desired, aud upon reach ing destination a basket is run up to the topmast, ' indicating what it is there for. The gatherers, : dredgers, and tonger* swarm around it Ilka bees, mostly in canoes, which hold from thirty to fifty bushels each. The load is bought in discriminately. at prices governed bv the de mand and quality, and are assorted as they are put into the hold. If a captain of a veaael wants a special order filled, or i* in a hurry to load and return, and is willing to pay a better price than the ruling quotations, a second Casket is runup and ne is soon overwhelmed with the pedlars. But should another captaiu want them 5 cents a bushel worse than he doea, , upgoes his third basket, and everv mother's sou ot them will stop short off with No. 1 and *eU the balance to the other man. TRICKS or THE TRADE. Not all the plump, fine-looking oyster* thai come to Washington are Cherrystones by any means. Some of the gatherers have a peculiar method of acini-transplanting them for awhile before selling. ? Upon taking them out of the salt water they deposit them in fresh water, which has a tendency to enlarge and otherwise give them a better general appear ance. If an orstar be allowed to stay anv length of time in fresh water it will dilate and finally burst the shell. The oystermen who bring 1 ovsters to Washington avoid buvmg this kind, as a rule. Many dealers in shucked oysters aud the street " hucksters especially, euter largely into the various "fixing ' schemes. A little fresh water, with a pinch of soda, will cause a gallon of insignificant stock to look I wondroualv well?long enough at any rate to ' be unloaded upon some unsuspecting individ ual. and thev will catch nine out of ten pur chaaers napping. There are numbers of ways of artificially enhancing the appearance and value of ovsters. but fresh wate r u> generally the commodity that enters most largely into the formulas, "as it conduces, specifically to ? rounded, fat-like aize. and a clear, clean-look ing color. An old oystermsn at the wharf aaya the beat-paving investment in the citv would be the hvdrant at the oyster wharf. The reve nue from that source in fresh water exclusively amounts to thousands of dollars annually, the onlv outlav being the little labor in turning the" water on and off. Itpaysabout & centa a quart, or whatever the oysters them*. Ives sell at and ia, of courae. all profit Nearly every huckster, large and small, operating to tbo farthermost parta of the city, in buying have K vWls filled about half-full of ?ytora. and fill the balance with water from that hvdrant. Thus we see how beautifully nature can be made to contribute at the same time totoe Moeaaitiee of one claas and the luxury of another PAYTXO AX ELKTlftll BET.
