The best cooking stove in use is Bucks
Brilliant, sold by Risk 4 johnson, manu-
facturers and dealers in stoves, CRATES,
mantels, etc., No. 3O6 Main street, oppo-
site the Peabody Hotel. Bucks Brilliant
has carried off the premiums over all
other stoves, and wherever used the
finest bread is always insured. The
Brilliant is guaranteed to bake better
bread, use less fuel, and last longer than
any other stovein the market. 1t carried
off the premiums at the great fairs of st.
Louis, Memphis and New Orleans.
In the Bucks Stove" the 6re-bottom
forms the top Of the oven, and the up
per side Of il is as much exposed to the
air as any plate in the stove. The fire
passes down the back in two side hues,
and thence through the same fnes con-
tinued under the oven to the front Of the
stove. Between the front plate of the
stove and the front Of the oven Is hot
air hue or chamber, which, when the
FIRE is carried under the oven, Is con
stantly filled with highly heated air.
After reaching the front of the stove,
the FIRE turns round the end of the aue
strips which divide the space between
the extreme bottom and the oven bot
tom, and returns through the center fue
to the back, and thence upward to the
pipe. The "Buck' stoves are warrant
ed to bake bread and anything else as
we'll, and in as short tims as brick

can be done before wood fire or tin
oven, and all with less fuel than any
other stove of like capacity. Every

NEW JERSEY.

JERSEY Cry, October 80. esterday
morning man named Nolte, having
created q slight disturbance, was elected
from the saloon of VIM. Gath, on Bea'
con avenue, Old Hudson city. Nolte,
being somewhat intoxicated, took paw
ing stone and threw it through the glass
door Of the saloon, striking Gath and
injuring him considerably. Officer Har-
ned, Of the third Jersey City precinct,
was in the saloon but not on duty. be
started to arrest Nolte, and found him
four blocks off talking to man. They
stated that the person who threw the
stone had retreated up Clinton avenue,
and the three started in that direction.
Harmed soon discovered the deception,
and the three went into the alley-way.
Officer Van Buskirk who happened to be
in the neighborhood, hearing three shsts
fired, arrived in time to see Harmed fire
the last two. One Of the balls struck
Nolte in the back below the ribs on the
right side. Nolte was very low last eve
ming and can not survive. Harmed s
firing was wanton. One of his shots
struck at the foot of Van Buskirk, mar
rowIy missing him. 1t is thought that
Harmed was intoxicated. He has been
arrested.

mission. With regard to the Apache
chief, Cochiz, il is acknowledged that
outrages on the part of his band have
almost entirely ceased. A small portion
of ii still remains off the reservation

STRONG LANGUAGE.
Debate on the Ritual in the Episco-
pal Trfennial Convention.

We find the following in the Balti-
more Suns report Of the debate on the
Episcopal Triennial Convention last Sat
urday ~ thflt'i
Mr.. Fogg, ofTennessee, did not believe
this canon would make the law of the
church any palmer. If be. voted for it, he
would vote for what he did not understand,
as he did not know what canons Of the
Church Of England were ia force in 1883;
and the very best authorities were united
in the opinion that it was extremely
difficult to find what canons were in
force. r7ff TLf
1t was not in the province either Of
that House Of tie House of Bishops to
lay down a rule Of uniformity fitbey
observed the practices and teachings Of
the Lord Jesus Christ, if they tolerated
matters that were unimportant, no legis-
lation would be necessary.
Rev DR.. Mead, Of Connecticut, said
he was satisfied that some alterations
should be made in this canon, and be
would propose them. There had been a
great deal said about the let.al0ne policy.
That was done in 1868, and what had he
seen then2 He saw, on one occasion,
in the administration of the Holy Saora-
ments, men remaining kneeling until
the whole congregation had received the
sacrament, and what were they doing2
Posturing and shifting their hearts, aud
/ looking out Of the corners Of their eyes
70 see If any one was looking at them
/ BE had asked the Bishop who was pres
ent aud saw this what be thought OF III
The Bishop shrugged his shoulders and
SAID nothing. He would tell them that
this ritualism was sapping at the very
Church foundations it was poisoning
the theological institutions; poisoning
the minds OF the students. In one OF
the theological semiaaries nov its use
fulness was destroyed because a profes
sor, a rigid ritualist, was at enmity with
the rest Of the faculty.
DR.. Richey, Of Minnesota, called Dr.
Mead to order for abiding in disrespect-
fol terms to a professor Of the Theology
cal Seminary.
The chair said much latitude must be
allowed in this matter.
DIR. Mead resumed. BE said ninety.

ton we're in favor Of putting stop to

to be compelled TO endure these prac-
tees. to witness a revival OF those mon
strous heresies which the church re-
iected2 These fanatics, with their parti-

TIE CASE OLE STOKES.

The press of the country should not
PREJUDICE the case Of the Bald Eagle of
the Mountains" The fact that he has
been arrested for delrauding the Govern
ment of sixty thousand dollars is
not, of course, conclusive of his guilt.
But should the charge Of robbery prove
true--should he be guilty in manner and
form as charged, with what sort of grace
or face can the Government punish him2
Does not il rob, under the form of
tariffs, internal, external and eternal
taxation2 Is not everything taxed
everything that is visible and much
that is not. Do not men go to Congress
poor and miserable, and do they not
within few years, return rich? Where
does the money come from2 If they
grow rich on brides, why may not Stokes
and others grow rich on frauds2 Cen
tlemen who seem to be amazed at the
eorruptions Of Government and men,
are rather antediluyian in their notions.
They appear to expect men to be honest
as they once were. They do not seem
to notice the fact that the Government
is administered for the benefit OF
the party that controls its powers
and resources, and that it can legalize
fraud as it legalized the unlawful acts of
President Lincoln. If it can paint
white the black front Of sin in one case
it can do it in another. Surely, if it
can rob the clerks in the departments of
their salaries for eleetioneering objects,
it should not object to little transac-
ton in which truly loil' person makes
the pitiful sum Of sixty thousand dol
lars. 1t is, we believe, a maxim that
one must go into equity with clean
hands, and the prosecutors of Colonel
Stokes should, before they swoop down
upon him, be required to show
theirs. The fellows in scripture who
wanted to stone woman to death, dis
persed when told by the Saviour that be-
fore they commenced that amusement,
they must themselves be without sin.
We can see how Democratic Admins
tration might prosecute public criminals,
but for the life Of us we cannot perceive
how the Radical authorities can do it
with any sort Of grace. We hope that
Stokes may prove his innocence. We
hope so because he is a Tennesseean.
We do not like to see people Of our
State, though they be Radical, involved
in the scramble going on at Washington
for the peoples money. We had much
rather hear of Stokes acquitial than his
conviction.

NEW ORLEANS.

Before the war New Orleans was a

not 10 be attributed SO much to the want
of sagacity or enterprise on the part Of
her business men, as to the bad political
influences that have attained supremacy
in Louisiana and thrown blight upon
the commercial vigor of the State and
her chief city. Other States may have
suffered industrially, socially and other
wise, more than Louisiana from the
evils of a government purely partisan
and mainly mercenary, but none that

mercial position in the South has been

A NOVEL DECISION.


The supreme Court Of Tennessee
Decides that n Jackass IL "a Horse.
In the second Heiskelrs Tennessee
Reports, just published, curions case
is reported. Madison Richards, ofJack-
son county had jackass worth twenty
dollars, whichanimal was used in farm
ing purposes. The animal was seized
on execution-tho justice, Of the peace
deciding that the jackass was not ex-
empted from execution. The Circuit
Court conquered with the Justice, but the
Supreme Court reversed the decision,
The Court says; 1--WE can not concur
with the justice. Itis clear that this
case comes within the reason and spirit
of the exemption law. Richards was
engaged in tilling the soil, and his little
jackass, worth twenty dollars, was the
sole dependence of his family for pillow
ing the earth and making bread for his
wife and family. He is exactly the kind
of citizen that the Legislature had in
view when they declared that the tillers
of the soil should not be reduced to star
walton by exacting creditors. Mr.. Web
ster, in his dictionary, defines an ass to
be quadruped of thegenus equus, that
is equus asinus, having a pecu-
liarly harsh bray, long slouching
ears, and being usually of an ash
color, with a black bar across his shout
ders. The tame or domestic ass is pa
tient to stupidity, and slow The ass is
a species of genus equus, or horse, and
his value for agricultural purposes was
one of the lucky developments of the late
war. Some who resorted to the services
of this species Of horse for such pur-
poses from dire necessity continue so to
use him, either from choice or continued
necessity. The statute exempts horse,
mule or yoke of oxen aud we think
those heads of families engaged in, ag-
riculture who use the ass or the jackass
for such purposes, and not otherwise,
are within both the letter and spirit Of
the exemption law. We reverse the
Judgment and remand the cause for a
new trial zoe i.l a ftf aH3u g

1t appears from an official return Just
published at Berlin that the salaries Of
the German representatives at the prin-
cipal European courts are much lower
than those Of the representatives Of
other powers. Thus, in London the Ger
man ambassador gets $4,000 thalers
(ie4sO0) a year; the French ambassador,
50, 900 thalers; the Russian, 63,500
thalers; the Austrian, $4,000; and the
Turkish, $4,000. In Paris the German
representative also receives 81, 900 thai
ers year; the English, 74,773 thalers;
the Russian, $4,000 thalers; the Aus
TRAN, Sc 800; the Turkish, 81, 600 thalers;
and the Italian, &c, 600 thalers. At Vi
emma the salary Of the German ambas-
sador is 10000 thalers, including 5000
for house rent; that of the British am
bassador, 81 1888 thalers; Of the Russian,
81. 600 thalers; Of the French, b3,333
thalers; Of the Turkish. 1866 thalers.
At St. Petersburg, the German ambassa-
dor gets 10000 thalers, including 5000
for house rent; the English, 81 1888 thai
ers; the French, $4,000 thalers; and the
Austrian, s., 500. At Brussels the sal
airy of the German representative is
$4,000; Of the English, 1886; OF the
Russian, 10000 thalers; and Of the
French, q 1873 thaiers. Thus at each Of

If London dispatches are to be relied

out. 1t cannot be disputed that her
reign has been glorious. Il was her
felicity to ascend the throne Of her an
cestors at a time when the spirit Of pro-
gress had awakened from long sleep,
and when invention had just commenced
its grand series of achievements. Up to
Two OF three years ago, Victoria was
popular with her subjects and respected
throughout the world. The death Of her
husband unsettled her mind by breaking
her heart. Since that event, she has not
been recognized as her old self Her
malady, whatever it is, has at last
eliminated in her practical deposition

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, October 30-The work of
binding the barracks is progressing rap
idly. More ground is required on the
North Side. A large supply of stoves
and mattresses will be needed every day.
Supplies have been falling off so far as
dependent on contributions from abroad,
yet it is 'hoped the large decrease in the
number making applications will speed
idly counterbalance this.
Business at the banks is light, and
will probably be so until the packers be-
gin active operations, which will be soon.
The hog crop is large one, and will re-
quire large amount of money to move
it, and this, together with the necessities
Of packers, will take all the money the
banks can spare, Packers and provision
dealers, however, lost but little in the
fire and their operations will be affected
but little by the disaster. Much Of the
packing will of course be done on East
ern capital.
The banks in general have more money
than before. A majority of the National
banks now hold from sixty to seventy
per cent of deposits in cash and New
York exchange.
